This eight-page paper presents a discussion about the legalization of medical marijuana. For many years proponents of the legalization of marijuana for medical use have claimed that smoking marijuana improves the health of those with certain illnesses or disorders, including cancer and AIDs. Those who are against its use insist there has to be other ways, and that even if doctors agree there are certain medicinal uses for the plant it can be dispensed in pill form. The author takes us on a tour of both sides of the medical marijuana. We hear both sides of the argument and are left to draw our own conclusions.
