Medical Marijuana Debate Posted: 06-12-07 06:31am
"Should marijuana become a legal medical
option?"
Do you think that patients should be
allowed access to THC as a pain reliever?
Many believe that marijuana can help ease
the symptoms of painful and/or chronic
conditions or treatment such as AIDS,
Alzheimer's, Arthritis, Asthma / Breathing
Disorders, Chemotherapy, Crohn's,
Gastrointestinal Disorders, Epilepsy /
Seizures, Glaucoma, Hepatitis C,
Migraines, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscle
Spasms, Pain, Analgesia, Psychological
Conditions, and Tourette's Syndrome.
Others claim that marijuana is a gateway
drug that will lead to abuse of narcotics
and want to see the substance
criminalized. The opponents of the medical
use of marijuana state that the risks of
medical marijuana include drug addiction,
cancer, brain damage, decreased
reproductive ability, and possible death.
