Paper Summary:

This paper examines the argument that marijuana should be legalized for medicinal purposes. It looks at several sources where it has been proven that marijuana aids in relieving the pain for AIDS and cancer patients. The paper also looks at the moves taken by politicians in a bid to oppose, as well as legalize, marijuana.

From the Paper:

"Marijuana is not much different from chemicals such as morphine, many other pain relievers, and the anti- anxiety drugs which alter mood and perception. Marijuana, even when prescribed for use by a physician does not cure anything. It may serve as a "pain-killer" or to relieve nausea and vomiting from chemo-therapy or other radical treatments designed to kill viruses or germ cells in the body. Its effects are merely to deaden or dull the nerves that stimulate the feelings of pain and nausea."
