Have you ever had a close family member or friend that suffered from anxiety or depression? Do you know some one who is on the verge of being diabetic or has chronic migraines? Do you feel bad for your spouse because when her menstruation comes along once a month it is so bad to the point that they can’t even continue on their regular tasks? If you find yourself wondering “what can I do to help them get better without all these different kinds of pills going in their bodies and causing future problems? You might think it is crazy or it is morally wrong but what if they have HIV or Cancer? Marijuana is an answer to your problems. Marijuana has been around for many of years. It is also consumed as a recreational drug of choice. Don’t worry …show more content…

How could you fill the people up with all these different medications with hundreds of side effects? These same pills they are giving the people are the same pills the government is wanting another pill to replace. There is no evidence found that someone has overdose on marijuana.

Anxiety and depression are the leading causes that the people are receiving these prescriptions and getting high off of them. They are very expensive even in generic form. Marijuana can be bought at a low price and they can help relieve all these things for you. Pills are harming your body and they are legal. Alcohol cause cirrhosis of the lever and death it is legal, cigarettes are causing cancer and they are legal. Lastly pills are legal as long as your name is on the bottle. Marijuana is healthier than all these things that I have listed above. Who is willing to take a stand and go to our leaders and let them know (where we smoke or not) we want marijuana legalized because there is someone that we know who is suffering and it is helping them, but it is also putting them at risk for being put in jail for possession.

Why should we have to pay a fine for something that is grown as a plant but everything else is manmade? They want us to vote for then to have seats and other things, but they are taking a life time to approve a medication that will help in medical ways and every day life. It’s a stress reliever and I know that they know that from all the studies and proposals that were laid out in front of them. So, what can possibly be the hold up to help

Growing up most kids are told that “drugs are bad for you”, time and time again. As a kid you don’t understand why, you just believe it because your authority figures are telling you so. I can remember being told this my entire life, and still to this day.

"Criminally prosecuting adults for making the choice to smoke marijuana is a waste of law enforcement resources and an intrusion on personal freedom. I do not advocate urging people to smoke marijuana, neither do I urge them to drink alcoholic beverages or smoke tobacco, but in none of these cases do I think prohibition enforced by criminal sanctions is good public policy."
