In this article by CBSNEWS called "opinion: Medical Marijuana Benefits," the author talks about marijuana and some
of its positive effects on people. Indeed, he is defending that marijuana
should be legalized for medical purpose. He points out that therapeutic marijuana has been used over decades
and it is very affective in cases such as
appetite loss, nausea, vomiting,
spasticity, glaucoma, pain, and weight loss…
I agree with what the author
is saying because I find this article informative of the actual benefit of this
plant. Most of the time, the media and the world depict marijuana as a harmful
substance that cannot do any good. In this paper, the author make valid point
and gives valuable raisons for why marijuana should be legalized. He references
expert such as Mitch Earleywine and, he even inform us about
safe ways to consume marijuana.
I feel like this article is
aim to touch every generation, from teenagers to young adult to people of third
age. Nobody is protected from sickness and, we all know someone suffering of
appetite loss, weight loss or even pain. In a long term, chemical drugs is
dangerous for our body and, marijuana could represent a more natural way to ill
some disorders. However, legalize marijuana for medical purposes do not mean
everyone will be free to use it as he or she see fit.
Even thought I agree with the author point of
view, I think he could have made his argumentation stronger by using more facts
and by giving more details about the different research made about medical
marijuana.
