Should Marijuana Be Legal

 
 
This is a topic that has become a bit of concern amongst people in the past few years. Marijuana has been illegal since the early 1900’s, but lately scientists have figured out that there are some uses of marijuana that could benefit people in need, people who are sick of deadly diseases such as aids, multiple sclerosis, and cancer. These are all diseases that are hard for anyone to go through, especially without aid that helps the pain and misery from ceasing. Prohibiting marijuana has just made things worse, by increasing the price of marijuana, the illegal usage, and the money spent on trying to cease its use. Abraham Lincoln once said two quotes about prohibition, “Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes,” and “A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.” I believe that he is right for stating that we have rights and they should not be taken for granted. He may have not been thinking of marijuana when he made his speech, but it involves prohibition, meaning prohibition in general and of any kind.
 
 


Holland legalized marijuana in 1976 and since then they have had a 40% reduction in marijuana users. The statistics show that by prohibiting it or allowing it, the use would be one and the same. There are 30 symptoms for which people are currently claiming that marijuana help, however there has not been any studies on them. The cannabinoids in marijuana are effective treatments for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation. Those numbers are down now to 50% and 13%, but the point is that after 30 years the drug is still being attained. Marijuana was introduced and smoked by the early immigrants. By 1937 all states had prohibited marijuana use and made it illegal to have anything to do with this drug. The risks of trafficking marijuana has increased, thus enabling these people raise the price of weed, which increases their profits. Jack Henningfield of the National Institute on Drug Abuse's Addiction Research Center and Dr. One modern cause of prohibition was the belief that if the marijuana policy was relaxed, then more people would use marijuana. It treats drugs as more important than God-given constitutionally protected rights.
