Essay on the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical or Recreational Purposes

Introduction

There has been an increasing implementation of medical Marijuana into its practice by the medical community for pain relief by several states in the US (Tawfik, Gehad Mohamed, et al. pg 3). Marijuana contains about sixty cannabinoids. Two of these cannabinoids, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol, have been perceived to help medicine (Azcarate, Patrick et al. pg 1982). Multiple studies have revealed that Marijuana has positive impacts on patients with particular conditions and disorders. For instance, the two cannabinoids help patients with post-traumatic stress disorder, nausea, HIV, and glaucoma. Therefore, legalizing medicinal Marijuana would allow patients suffering from these conditions.
