Pro Argument: Many doctors agree that marijuana is very beneficial for medical purposes. Diseases like cancer, glaucoma, epilepsy, and many other mental disorders are all well treated with marijuana. Marijuana is capable of killing pain and helps rise your metabolism. It has been proved that marijuana is better than pain killers. Marijuana has been legalized in 18 states, and in most of them marijuana is less costly than many medical prescriptions that treat pain. Marijuana has been legal during the 1930s-1940s, and later on this medical treatment has been becoming more limited (1). Here is what doctors say about medicinal marijuana: 1. 69% of doctors say it can help with specific illnesses. 2. 67% it should be an opportunity for many patients. 3. 56% agree making it legal throughout the world. 4. 50% of doctors agree it should be legal in their state. 5. 52% call for making new laws on medical marijuana in their state (2).
