Growing up, everyone is told that, “Drugs are bad for you,” time and time again. The drug the researchers was talking about is marijuana. Marijuana is a big topic these days. Many people want to make sure that marijuana stays illegal. Yet they do not know all the facts about marijuana. They just think that marijuana is bad.  As a matter of fact, based on several studies, marijuana is proven to be a medicinal plant that can cure certain illnesses and indeed lowers the spreading of cancerous cells in a body. The legalization of marijuana is an issue that consistently discussed and debated, not only in North America, but throughout the entire world.

There is a considerable need for medicines and therapies that can help and alleviate the painful symptoms of a number of illnesses and diseases. An increasing number of studies suggest that medicinal cannabis (marijuana) in the form of oral extracts, sprays or pills can reduce these symptoms and aid in the treatment of some illnesses. However, as with many other drugs, medicinal cannabis can also cause unwanted side-effects, such as difficulty with concentration, dizziness, drowsiness, loss of balance, and problems with thinking and memory.

There are some illnesses that do not have any cure or way of relieving it. An example is Alzheimer's disease and epilepsy. Researchers found out that medicinal cannabis/marijuana can relieve these kinds of conditions.Other illness like appetite loss, anorexia, Chron's disease, etc. are also relivable by medicinal marijuana.

Most of the people has wrong assumptions about marijuana. They believed that marijuana is worst than other drugs that humans are taking or using, but the truth is marijuana is much safer than other legal drugs like cigarettes and alcohol. Studies conducted by the researchers showed that marijuana can treat cancer and many other diseases that cannot be cured by the usual medicine. The use of marijuana as medicine also has its own limitations because it cannot be used in other mental health disorders like bipolar disorder and psychosis and it can cause side-effects if not careful in using it. But, in general, considering the diseases that are rampant nowadays people should think about the benefits that marijuana can give us.
