Marijuana is one of the illegal drugs used in America and other countries as well. According to research done internationally it is evident that more than seventy million people in the United States have made use of marijuana (Wagner 231). Although many people have used and are using marijuana, there is no proof that anyone has ever been spoiled by smoking marijuana. Like other drugs that have been abused by people, marijuana does not affect people and their thinking capabilities. To some extent, I have a strong believe that marijuana should be made legal as it is not harmful as most of people tend to think, human beings should be allowed to live life the way they want, as long as they are not causing harm to themselves or to other people. In 1960s and 70s, marijuana was very commonly used in the united states, as most of people thought of it as a harmless drug. Later, the government and its officials started seeing marijuana as a harmful drug that should never be used by people. Through their ideas, they introduced a law of marijuana Act in 1937 that was meant to prohibit the use of marijuana fully (Bermwin 169). The most disappointing idea about the congress accepting this law was that there was no background information to support the harmfulness of smoking marijuana. It was evident that he accepted the enactment of the law without enough information to support the decision. To some extent, people were still left with the idea that smoking marijuana is not a harmful incident. In addition to the people’s thought about marijuana was that, it has both pros and cons. Most of people claim to make use of marijuana for medicinal purposes and others for reasons of entertainment (Barnabas 318). The fiber of the marijuana plant has also some values as they are used in industries to make papers, fuel, in food production industries, as well as in production of fibers. There was a time when George Washington encouraged people of America to make some efforts of planting the marijuana seeds to reap those benefits at the end. This idea was eradicated by the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act, which now people of America want it removed and have freedom in usage of marijuana (Mounter 263). People have a strong supporting point of claiming that if marijuana has been used for than 5ooo years in medical; field, what would make it harmful now. In early 1970s, there was a positive move towards legalizing the use of marijuana, when eleven states allowed the possession of small amounts of that drug. Currently, more than thirty six states have allowed the usage of marijuana with their citizens especially for medical purposes (Cowan 45). The reason that has facilitated this move in various states is because of the information that is collected in most of the medical fields that, through using marijuana, it is possible for one to relive pain and nausea. For the people who have a family history of cancer, when they make use of marijuana there is a high likelihood of deactivating the growth of breast lumps that are cancerous. For the patients who are suffering from stroke, the use of marijuana protects their brain cells from being badly affected. Other health illnesses that are cured by smoking marijuana are AIDS, glaucoma, monthly period complications, and stress. Scientists have also made some efforts to prove that smoking marijuana is
