Legalize Marajuana
Leslie is suffering from Stage-IV cancer. Chemotherapy cannot benefit her case; she is going to die. The doctors have offered her morphine and OxycontinÒ to help make her last two months comfortable. As a mother of three children, Leslie would like to spend her last moments coherent, not drugged-up or passed-out on fierce pain medications. Unfortunately, Leslie is an Indiana resident with no other options.Like Leslie, thousands of people nation-wide would benefit from the legalization of marijuana. Many medical groups support the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Among these are the Physician’s Association for AIDS Care, and the National Lymphoma Foundation, and the American Public Health Association. “Marijuana has been proven to stimulate the appetite (Pluff).” The Physician’s Association for AIDS Care has conducted research to find that marijuana is the “only substance that consistently fuels the appetite of AIDS victims (LaFave).” AIDS is a deadly disease that attacks the immune system, and patients need to fight through the side effects, like cachexia (loss of appetite), in order to take all the necessary precautions. Marijuana is proven to not only alleviate the side effects of AIDS
