One thought on “Advantages and Disadvantages on Medical Marijuana

  1. Great informational post! I do agree with all the points you have made throughout your blog. I want to focus on the medical card aspect. I am sure you have researched, that the access of a medical marijuana card has become more efficient towards late adolescences. I believe the requirements to be provided with a medical card should be more strictly enforced. Medical marijuana cards have gained momentum worldwide and it is said to provide safe treatment, however the alternatives of the treatment can highly be abused. In regards to the reason a patient provides, false information is commonly used to obtain the medical card. There is no consideration on the violation that people are implementing.
    The worst part is that people feel that smoking marijuana is okay do to the speculations that it does not cause any harm as other drugs. As seen in my surroundings marijuana can in fact affect people in social situations, such as school, work, and other everyday rituals. In high school I would noticed that grades of my friends were being affected. It is frustrating to see that someone who has the potentiality to do well in school can just go downhill in a blink of an eye.
