Believes that marijuana can be used for medicinal purposes is not a new concept, in fact, it has been around for thousands of years. Before I started doing research on this topic I strongly believe that marijuana can be used as an effective remedy. I have heard many stories about its potential to help cancer and AIDS patients, among other diseases, how to deal with both symptoms and side effects of treatment. These treatments may include chemotherapy or radiation in the case of cancer patients. I am also aware of the fact that marijuana has never had a recorded case of a person dying from an overdose of marijuana. That in itself is cause to say that marijuana could be a safer drug, unlike other recipes. On this evidence alone, it might seem that I am a full supporter of chances to use marijuana for medical purposes. It is not entirely the case. Before any of my research I have heard horror stories of people have become completely addicted to drugs and the problem of their marijuana is highly debated topic and should be viewed from different perspectives before deciding position.
As I conducted my research is one of the main arguments in this heated debate about the real potential for it to make people better cope with the symptoms of the disease. Some people believe that marijuana has a lot to offer people in the medical field, others say that more harm than good. Those who are proponents of legalized marijuana is said to be of great medical value. They suggest that it can help alleviate chronic pain, stop muscle spasms from occurring, cause gain in appetite and help stop the nausea and also reduces the pressure inside diseases that could be using this drug include AIDS, cancer, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis , and glaucoma. AIDS and cancer patients could benefit from the drug so that the pain associated with the disease are reduced. Also, these patients could be a help to stimulate appetite and less nausea. Those with epilepsy may have the potential to help prevent seizures. People suffering from multiple sclerosis may be less painful muscle cramps. Also those who have glaucoma can get relief from intra-ocular pressure and potentially be spared serious damage to eyes.
This article is definitely against medical marijuana. He criticized each were each part has medicinal value. He noted that he had never been approved for medical use for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). He also broke the criteria for a drug must be certified to have medical value and discuss each item and why marijuana did not qualify. This article is, if anything, is very effective in showing a sharp contrast in views between the supporters and the opposition.
Another argument made is whether or not marijuana has the potential to be a drug. Some people say that marijuana poses a threat to society because of their dependency properties. There is good reason to believe in this view. In the time between 1992 and 2006, massively increased the power of marijuana. In fact, it is estimated that this increase could be as much as 175 per cent. This caused the number of people who are addicted to marijuana to increase. There are several risks associated with dependence on marijuana. One of these is that some users may drive under the influence of drugs. Use of marijuana reduces motor skills and can lead to accidents. Overall, marijuana is the second most commonly detected drugs in the driver system.
On the other hand, there are people who say that marijuana is not addictive, and actually a very safe drug to use. One such person is Paul Armentano author of "Marijuana is not addictive." In his article, said Armentano report conducted for the Institute of Medicine (IOM). According to IOM, less than ten percent of people who try cannabis meet the description of the person who shows the dependence. This is by far the number of people who have shown dependence on other drugs.
These drugs include tobacco, which was at 32 percent to 23 percent of heroin, cocaine at 17 percent and 15 percent alcohol. All these percentages are high compared to marijuana which is less than 10 percent. Another factor that supports the fact that marijuana is the non-dependence is the lack of withdrawal symptoms. Cannabis, unlike tobacco and alcohol does not cause serious effects impact on marijuana are slight fear, anxiety, and sleep deprivation. Tobacco products are similar to the effects of withdrawal, but much harder in comparison. Many times the effects of tobacco have been enough to convince a person to start again, which is not true for marijuana.
This article to me was very eye opening. It presented a very large amount of information that is focused on the question of whether or not marijuana is addictive or not. He compares the dependence of rate with many other abused drugs, and discuss the payment that each drug causes. All in all, it is clearly in favor of using marijuana as a medicine, and presents scientific evidence to show why it should be.
This article is very important because it contains information about the various effects of cannabis use "chemicals. The article also goes on to restate the benefits that are received before the special comment. The following resources, legal victories are also discussed, which are associated with how much medical marijuana was able to get where he is today.
Finally, cannabis use for medicinal purposes is a very debatable topic. Thus, many studies have been done with any thought to produce different results. After reading through all the articles, in my opinion is not influenced by the opposition. I'm still on the side of those who believe in the legalization for medical purposes. But I do not understand that people have very different and very strong opinions on this subject. It's hard to tell exactly who is right or wrong. There is so much evidence for and against the legalization of cannabis as a medicine that is less about who to trust and more about who does not believe.
