Medical Marijuana, has become a large issue in today's society. One of the major benefits of Medical Marijuana is the condition and diseases the Medical Marijuana uses helps with. Former Law Judge from the DEA, Francis L. Young states that, "The overwhelming preponderance of the evidence in this record establishes that marijuana has a currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States for nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy treatments in some cancer patients. To conclude otherwise, on this record, would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious." Young is clearly stating that Medical Marijuana does in fact help with Cancer patients and with their chemo. Not only does it help with chemo, but it has been known to help with OCD and Tourette's. Medical Marijuana should be legal all over the US, questions is how come it has become legal on some state levels and not in all of the nation? It has proven medical uses and plenty of people to give their testimonies on how it has helped them with their condition. The Government has made opiates legal for medical use, which can have major harm in the long run on the body. Also the pain killers that are legal are very very addictive. Studies show that Marijuana has no physical addiction what so ever and it can also help for pain the same way opiates do. People have to finally face the facts and realize that Marijuana has a medical purpose and it needs to be something we use in today society. If there were more published media on tv and testimonies shown on a national broadcasted level of how Cancer patients are being helped by using Medical Marijuana then maybe people would start to think the other way. Who really wants to see anyone suffer? And just maybe Medical Marijuana is their answer to make it just a little easier on their selves.
