From the medical perspective, marijuana can relieve certain types od pain, nausea, and other symptoms caused by illness like cancer, HIV, tuberculosis and so on. Nowadays, it is common for doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patient after a surgery or in incurable diseases. The effect that marijuana has is less severe to the actual drug like Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, the controlled II substance because they have severe side effects. Marijuana is often used for terminally ill patient to ease their pain and make them feel comfortable. One of the biggest advantages we get from marijuana is the medical benefit. An example of medical marijuana on a 19 year old teenager Casey that was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. He suffered from extreme abdominal pain and was losing ten pounds a week. His doctors try everything fearing that Casey might die. Casey friends made him try cannabis and he began to begin weight. He told his medical team about his use of Marijuana and they quietly supported him, her parents are also supported her. Now Casey lives in a state where cannabis has no medical law and now worries about the possible outcomes.( atarinceu). Legalization of Marijuana is an ethical issue that need to be considered seriously because it can help by reducing the amount of pain that people endure or go though after they having a pain. The legalization of marijuana has become a government issue, they are the one that need to legalize cannabis.It has been more than 40 years since congress passed the current ban on Marijuana, inflicting great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol( NY times). The law of medical marijuana differ from state to state. Some state allows the use of medical and some don’t. There is two synthetic cannabinoids dronabidol and nabilone are available in pill form. These drugs are FDA approved and available for prescription(jamanetwork) . Under federal law, marijuana has no currently accepted medical use and has a high potential for abuses, for these reasons doctor cannot prescribe marijuana( Jamanetwork). Doctors themselves know that Marijuana can be a relieve for their patients in severe pain that is why it is prescribe in some states but all states should consider legalizing Marijuana because it can make a big difference in the medical field and as patient will not have to encounter difficulties such as wondering if they can afford the opioid ( schedule II drugs) which is more expensive than Marijuana. Dose of marijuana is not straightforward and depend on the patient, the preparation and the way the drug is used. Medical marijuana has not been approved by the FDA yet but studies has proved that it can be an effective treatment for chronic pain, neuropathic nerve and multiple sclerosis. If some states allow it to be use why all states does not legalize the use of marijuana? Marijuana is not a lethal drug, it is safer than opioids and alcohol. The consumption of Marijuana is not toxic and I's rarely that you become addicted to Marijuana compared to alcohol or tobacco. Patient who suffers from the chronic disease doesn’t see Marijuana as a drug but as a relief for their pain and malaise. The fight against the legalization of Marijuana continue ad since it is legalized in some state, I think by 2025 or so it will be legalized in all states.
