Marijuana legalization to be or not to be

Marijuana legalization is being hotly debated today with TV and any marijuana magazine giving it prime importance.Marijuana news makes it to the cover of almost all the leading media across the world. Many organizations have been pushing the government to legalize marijuana. Marijuana or cannabis is a preparation of the cannabis plant which is intended to be sued as a drug by humans. Many argue that marijuana is medically relevant and has many advantages while others insist that marijuana adversely affects the body and the brain. The pros and cons of marijuana are being discussed here.If taken in moderation, marijuana is no more harmful than tobacco or alcohol. In fact, both tobacco and alcohol are widely and legally consumed and a direct link between the two and cancer is an established fact. Nevertheless, because of the strong lobbying, the government does not ban tobacco or alcohol but has limited itself to mandatory warnings on the packs or bottles.

Those favoring marijuana argue that if marijuana is life-threatening, then tobacco and alcohol are equally culpable and should be banned or not legalized. But, would anyone want the government to limit or ban the amount of alcohol or tobacco consumption? Marijuana is full of medicinal benefits if used properly and has been tremendously helpful in diseases like cancer, glaucoma or AIDS. Patients undergoing chemotherapy have especially benefited from medical marijuana and legalizing it will only give a boost in the health care of cancer patients. Illegal selling and buying of marijuana is the direct cause of the rise in crime and violence. Frustrated youth give vent to their anger in their inability to procure legal marijuana and resort to crime and violence. Marijuana legalization would put an end to the need of indulging in criminal behavior just to get hold of some cannabis. Drug mafias would lose their hold on the minds of the impressionable youth and drug-related issues would soon come to an end.

The much- harassed police could then perhaps concentrate on serious crime! Marijuana is also a popular agricultural product and legalizing the trade of it as well as the tax collected on it would result in filling the government coffers. The main argument against marijuana legalization is that most people think it is morally wrong to indulge in this intoxicating product and even Los Angeles cannabis. It would encourage the young in the wrong ways of life as marijuana is considered to be the stepping stone to harder drugs. Once addicted to marijuana, the person will crave harder drugs like heroin, cocaine etc. Even inhaling passive marijuana smoke is very harmful and passive smokers can suffer from terrible health issues just by inhaling the smoke. Many argue that legalizing marijuana would only result in encouraging more crime as people involved with drugs are usually involved in other crimes too. Marijuana news is the hottest in every type of media and it is good that the merits and demerits of the legalization of marijuana are being debated and show no signs of letting up.

What are the Active Components of Medical Marijuana?

When people think of the medical properties of marijuana, they immediately associate its effects with delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the most psychologically active compound in cannabis. But what most people don’t know is that there are actually 483 different identifiable chemical constituents found in cannabis.

Many of these constituents are non-psychoactive components, and many of them are found in other plants. Only 66 of these constituents—called cannabinoids—are unique to the Cannabis plant. But that does not mean there are 66 different cannabinoid effects or interactions. Most of the cannabinoids are closely related and oftentimes they work together to create the healing properties of pot. For example, in 2001, GW Pharmaceuticals found that only a combination of CBD and THC offered analgesic effects for MS patients. Taken alone, neither CBD nor THC was as effective in treating chronic pain as they were in combination.

Medical marijuana studies have shown that the non-psychoactive cannabinoids found in medical marijuana have medical properties. For example, cannabidiol (CBD) has sedative, analgesic and antibiotic properties, and appears to heighten the depressant effects and moderate the euphoric effects. And studies suggest that cannabigerol (CBG) may reduce intraocular pressure and contribute to marijuana’s antibiotic properties.

Here is a complete list of the cannabinoids found in marijuana, according to the Institute of Medicine’s March 1999 report titled “Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base:”
