Medical Cannabis

“Creating a legal and regulated marijuana market is the best way to ensure public safety” quoted by Paige in her blog Medical Cannabis: 21 states to go. In her blog she identifies some ways that America could benefit from legalizing cannabis, noticing that she and I share the same views. Paige had substantial view points for an example, she stated “Marijuana is a much safer alternative to pharmaceuticals, to relieve chronic pain associated with these illnesses. Also, with medical cannabis, patients can reap the benefits of managing their symptoms without having to worry about addiction, overdose or, serious side effects that aren't worth the risk of pharmaceutical drugs.” Using the US Government Accountability office to support her claims made her argument very strong. This blog was well-written and I agree with her to the fullest in regards to legalizing cannabis and the positive impact it could possibly have on America. What I enjoyed the most about this is it was short and very informational, she explained why she thought it was a good idea and then provided credible evidence that supported her claims and claims from the medical stand point.
