The legalization of marijuana in regards to medicinal use and recreational use is a very wide and controversial debate. Many American citizens advocate for full recreational use. The relaxing and feel-good effects of marijuana are felt by thirty three percent of all teenagers. President Barack Hussein Obama along with other prominent celebrities, politicians, and mainly musicians have expressed their positive views about recreational marijuana use. Today, out of all fifty states only two have legalized marijuana use for recreational purposes. Marijuana use has clearly become more of an accepted part of American culture. Most research on Marijuana, no matter what side it supports, has been questioned. Whether Marijuana has been beneficial to one's health is questionable. This article by the Huffington Post argues that twelve more states will most probably allow Marijuana to be used for recreational purposes. Among these states is the home-state of the author of this blog post- California. California is known for a high concentration of marijuana inside its borders. Many, many individuals feel marijuana dumbs down the already uneducated and not so bright population of the United States, particularly the youth. Others claim that marijuana use has more positive effects, especially in regards to medicinal and relaxing methods. Whatever the case may be, as this article reminds, marijuana use is becoming a bigger part of American culture and will medicinal use and recreational use will continue to be more allowed.
The use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is an appropriate option in many cases. People who suffer epilepsy have been known to be almost cured of severe seizures after using a special kind of cannabis, called R4. Cannabis, unlike the conventional seizure medications, is known to have almost no side effects. R4 is a type of cannabis that has low levels of THC, which causes people to have psychoactive behavior and feel euphoric, and has high levels of CBD, which stops seizures. Ironically, no one is interested in producing the medicinal R4 cannabis and everyone is interested in producing recreational cannabis with high levels of THC.
