The paper explains that since drugs with psychoactive properties are banned, marijuana has become a victim of stringent laws despite the fact that it has many medical uses. The paper examines two articles that emphasize the effective medical properties of marijuana. The paper shows how, while it will remain a controversial drug, many people have found marijuana to be highly effective with minor medical disorders.
From the Paper:
"Cannabis or Marijuana is one of the most misunderstood drugs of all time. Since all drugs with certain psychoactive properties are banned or considered illegal, marijuana has also become a victim of stringent laws despite the fact that it has many medical uses. The public understands that this drug has the highest potential of misuse and abuse but at the same time, the public has supported compassionate use of marijuana. In 1996, 56 percent of voters in California felt that marijuana should be allowed for medical treatment. Since then the number of supporters and magnitude of support have grown steadily making cannabis one of the most controversial drugs."
