A Medical Necessity for the Legal Use of Marijuana
The thesis of this 10 page paper is that
there is a medical necessity for the legal use of marijuana.
There is significant evidence that supports the benefits of THC,
a chemical found in marijuana, is beneficial for sufferers of
cancer, AIDS and glaucoma. Though THC is available in tablet
form, many seriously ill patients cannot take the oral
medication, and many complain that the pill is ineffective. If
the use of marijuana can significantly reduce the suffering of
severely ill individuals, it is a civic and political necessity to
promote legal use. Mednecc.wps
