Should Marijuana Be Legal?

Marijuana is an illegal drug, illegalised in most countries except for Spain, Uruguay, Netherlands, a few states in the US and a few states in India (but is medically legal in many other countries). While there are a few downsides, there are a lot of good effects of marijuana. Most people compare marijuana to worse drugs such as cocaine, heroin or acid, while marijuana can be as harmless as alcohol. It has many health benefits, economic benefits and can just improve your daily life.

The health benefits of marijuana include: helps you lose weight, prevents/regulates diabetes, it fights cancer, it can help depression, it can treat autism, it’s a safer alternative to other drugs, it helps regulate seizures, it can heal broken bones faster, it treats ADHD, it can help serious addictions, it can treat glaucoma, it can improve lung health, helps anxiety, it can slow down the development of Alzheimer’s Disease, it helps Multiple Sclerosis patients, it could control muscle spasms, it can help eating disorders, arthritis, PTSD, STDs, HIV, speech problems, asthma, chronic pains, it can regulate your metabolism, it can treat nausea, headaches, it can improve skin conditions, it can help you get through chemotherapy, OCD, it will calm asthma attacks, it can replace Viagra, lower your blood pressure, calm your panic attacks and so much more.

Marijuana also has economic benefits. It can create jobs, for example when Colorado and Washington legalised marijuana, it created tens of thousands of jobs, some of the jobs include: creating edibles, creating concentrates, glass merchant, courier and delivery, marijuana reviewers, tourism jobs, a bartender for marijuana, shop owner, a farmer, and so many more jobs. Legalizing marijuana/cannabis can free people who have been convicted of marijuana possession out of jail, so they can live their life.

Cannabis/marijuana can also improve your daily life. It can keep your pets healthy, and if your pets are sick or have chronic pains, cannabis treats can relieve them. Cannabis could also help you during your sleep, it can help you sleep easier or it can give you pleasant dreams, especially if you have PTSD. It can also make your energy levels rise, making you more productive and help you get through the work day, or even make you more creative.

Due to the health benefits, economic benefits and just the benefits that can be applied to your daily life from cannabis or marijuana, I think marijuana should be legalised.
