Im here to see what you think on this issue CB.
Are you for the full legalization of this plant or are you against it?
There are people who run and work jobs in the field of distributing marijuana
that are against the legalization for they're own personal profit as of 2012 there are many states that allow marijuana to be sold to those who have a medicinal card but federally this is still illegal and the feds lets say.. pick and choose who they want to shut down most likely for making too much money.
and along with that the people with the medical cards are supposed to legally be allowed to grow marijuana for either personal use or to be sold to these dispenseries but they still run the risk of being screwed by the police. how is this legal but illegal at the same time?
In recent years, the controversy over the use of marijuana for medical purposes has been debated in both political and medical arenas.
Due to the social stigma that is attached to the recreational use of marijuana, the potential benefit that could result from its use as a medicine is being argued.
There has been definite evidence that marijuana is beneficial:
in the treatment of cancer to relieve the nausea caused by chemotherapy
for AIDS wasting syndrome
to relieve muscle spasms and tremors in people with multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries
to treat glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure.
The possible harmful effects of chronic marijuana use has been studied by federal government funded studies. In 1988, scientists found receptors for THC in the parts of the brain controlling:
memory
mood
visual processing
attentiveness
the ability to filter out extraneous stimuli
This helped explain the effects on coordination and short-term memory.
It also clarified the impossibility of taking a fatal dose of marijuana since there are hardly any THC receptors in portions of the brain that control consciousness and respiration.
For years the effect of marijuana on the respiratory system of long-term marijuana users was studied. It was revealed that smoking marijuana is even more damaging to the lungs than tobacco smoking. Marijuana smoke has 50 to 70 percent more known carcinogens than tobacco smoke. Marijuana smokers were found to have more microscopic damage to the lung's defense against inhaled contaminants and microbes, and also more precancerous cellular changes.
