Marijuana affects each body differently; however, for many patients, it is a huge relief from psychological disorders as well as physical pain. Harvard Medical Professor, Lester Grinspoon stated: "If marijuana were a new discovery rather than a well-known substance carrying cultural and political baggage, it would be hailed as a wonder drug." It provides relief without doing any physical damage to the body, nor does it instigate users to engage in reckless behavior (such as alcohol & salvia — ironic, considering THOSE substances are legal). It is not chemically addictive, nor are there any deaths directly related to marijuana. I propose legalization with taxation & regulation of medical cannabis, which will also aid in boosting our economy and provide a safe shop from which to buy.
