the resulting drug war, have made headlines
nationwide. The idea that doctors and researchers
have been persevering to prove is that marijuana
has medical uses for patients with certain
diseases and disorders. But the government has
their eyes closed to the facts. Doctors and

Instantly, from the title of this essay, you will
stereotype me for being a pothead. Well, I m not.
The reason I did this topic is because I was not
informed of all the facts, and believe they should
be shared. I also once thought that those people
at NORML (a group of people trying to legalize
Marijuana) were just potheads, wanting to smoke up
all the time. I received information on them, and
their beliefs. A lot of this information makes
perfectly good sense, and should be considered and

Marijuana For Medical Medical Use Of Marijuana

like to admit it, but the problem is not getting
better and it will most certainly not be solved
with the current methods of drug enforcement.
Those same people will also vehemently deny the
fact that, those who use drugs are not the only
ones causing the actual problem. Like the users
themselves, the ones who wage the war on drugs are
also at fault, guilty of not doing what is best
for the individual or the situation as a whole. In

Legalizing Marijuana Dangerous Drug

The decision to Marijuana INTRODUCTION The
decision to use marijuana is first and foremost a
