What are the pros for decriminalizing then Legalizing Cannabis? The lobbying for legalizing marijuana across the United States has received an overwhelming “YES“! We should now be addressing Its legalization at the federal level. Many reasons are floating around for legalization. The cards must be laid squarely on the table. We might gain a greater understanding of the responsibility.
What Are The Main Arguments for Legalizing Cannabis?
We know that marijuana is a drug that has psychoactive chemicals in its DNA. We also know some chemicals medically help relieve some ailments, including CBD. Now, the reasons mainly for the vote to legalize Cannabis are:
- It’s harmless
- Its medical benefits to humans
- Good revenue generator/ job creation
- Great nutrition value
- Environmentally friendly to grow
Harmless
Marijuana is harmless when compared to alcohol and tobacco. People believe it is harmful based on the anecdotal reports that have been around for decades. Not enough scientific information was available back then, so people who used the drug irresponsibly had issues. The truth is; that lots of drugs, including alcohol and tobacco, have more dangerous effects on humans than Cannabis. Yet, alcohol and tobacco, which we know, are not classified as drugs. People are admitted all the time for alcohol and tobacco-related disease. This includes cirrhosis of the liver, lung cancer, and other ailments brought on by continuous use.
Cannabis Medical Benefits to Humans
With the majority of the US states legalizing medical cannabis use, more doctors believe in its curative and helping properties. More and more doctors welcome the movement. More people use medical Marijuana for diseases that doctors find difficult to treat. Traditional pharmaceutical drugs often leave their patients addicted.
Marijuana is known to treat many ailments. This includes:
- Digestive disorders
- Nausea
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic pain
- and so much more!
The CBD/THC blend of chemicals in varying grammages aids in the relief of these issues. The continued debate about its benefits continues while people get relief from years of debilitating symptoms. People are getting excellent treatment for
glaucoma, a chronic eye condition that causes blindness worldwide. So the discussion continues, and people are getting relief because; Cannabis has been legalized for medical use.
Good Revenue and Job Creator
The government has the best opportunity to watch the country’s coffers’ replenished from all aspects of marijuana sales. Not only from sales but taxes, licenses, scientific research, etc. They can guarantee employment from dispensaries, growers, and product manufacturers, making Cannabis gummies, vaping paraphernalia, edibles, clothing, fabric, furniture, etc. We have to start thinking outside the box on this one. Gone are the days when weed was stigmatized.
Great Nutritional Value
The Cannabis plant, like Hemp, is choc-full of nutrients. Its reported containing; antioxidants, omega-3, and disease-fighting properties, as testified by Dr. William Courtney in California. Dr. Courtney’s wife had Lupus for years. He started treating her with Green Juice made from Cannabis, and after several weeks of treatment, her symptoms improved. She has not stopped drinking the Cannabis Green Juice since; their promotion of the many benefits of using the plant has intensified.
Environmentally Friendly
Growing marijuana can be a simple affair. Like any other plant, sunlight and water are good to go once you understand its needs nutritionally. The plant does not need fertilizer once your soil has the right nutritional content.
Like cotton and bamboo, cannabis fibers’ are excellent for making fabric, paper, clothing, household plates, and utensils. So, the sky’s the limit once you start thinking outside the proverbial box.
There are many natural benefits to be had from its legalization. Lobbying for full legalization for medical and recreational use is not a burden.
The Laws that govern marijuana can still be applied to:
- Grammage for consumption
- Conformity for a place to sell
- Proper license for dispensers
The responsibility to adhere to age requirements for use is also a factor.
