THERAPEUTIC MARIJUANA

Despite being a forbidden plant in many countries in the World, some of them have recognised cannabis as a medicine. It has been demonstrated that it can alleviate the sickness and the pain, among other health problems. However, many people disagree about its legality because it is actually a drug. Consequently, it has caused differences of opinion.

It is true that marijuana can be addictive and it can provoke a potential abuse. Besides, many people think that the components of cannabis can be toxic and not very healthy and they say that safety is over efficacy. For this reason, they think that we should use more safer medicines.
However, it is clear that it has been used as an herbal medicine for a long time before forbidding it.  Moreover, it can not be argued that it is natural and organic plant safer than synthetic drugs and surely less addictive than other artificial substances. In addition, cannabis has a really strong therapeutic potential. What is more, many people have demonstrated their support to this plant as a medicine and many countries have already legalised it.

As I see, there are many reasons to believe that it is not bad as a medicine when used cautiously. In my opinion, therapeutic marijuana has more advantages than disadvantages. The effects of this plant have been showed in the results of many patients who have been treated with it. To conclude, I would say that we should provide an opportunity to this natural with no-additive substance which is less problematic than many pills we have at home.

  1. It is true that marijuana can be addictive but using it as an herbal medicine is not a bad idea. As you say, cannabis has a really strong therapeutic potential and many countries have legalised it.
    For these reasons I think that it's a good idea use it when you are very sick. But we shoudn't confuse the use of marijuana (many people smoke it for no reason).

  3. Yes! Cannabis is a natural plant and the nature is wise. Humans make Cannabis be something negative. It has lots of good qualities. I think that Spain should legalise it too.
