Should Marijuana be Legalized for assist Use?Fifteen years ago the word AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was barely use in the United States. Today, its on the cover of every newspaper, and parents and kids discuss it regularly in the household. It is no longer considered some(prenominal)one elses problem it is now everyones problem. Not a day goes by that a person doesnt worry about AIDS. The fear of AIDS is heightened only by the fact that there is no cure. People with AIDS must live with the fact that they are eventually going to die. Their death comes slowly and upsetfully. Each day they take pills and shots that provide temporary relief, but in the long run, they only make matters worse. Some pills side effects are worse than some of the diseases symptoms. What if there was a drug that could ease some of this pain? Scientists and researchers seem to believe that they have found this miracle drug. Believe it or not, this miracle drug has been used for decades. Just r ecently, medical doctors suggested that marijuana be used to treat some symptoms of AIDS. This proposal brings forth both medical and ethical questions. Why exactly should marijuana be legalized for AIDS use?

If marijuana has been used for so many years why are we just now recognizing its medical potential? Marijuana has been suggested for medical use for many years, and besides it has always been put on the back burner. This brings up the ethical side of the argument. In the past decades marijuana has been highly abused. The main concern of legalizing this drug is th at the organisation is making it easier for anyone to buy it on the street. The government also wants to get the point across that smoking cannabis isnt going to make the disease go outdoor(a) it may only help stop some of the pain. This argument doesnt seem to have a correct answer. On one hand we can take down and keep marijuana away from our children, and on the other we can let sick people suffer.
