Medical marijuana for therapeutic use
The fact that medical marijuana has assisted
patients suffering from the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple
sclerosis and glaucoma can no longer be denied. Some patients
claim that the therapeutic uses of medical marijuana have
even had more substantial affects than some pharmaceutical
counterparts.
The prospect of therapeutic uses for medical
marijuana has been entertained in the courts in many countries
for a number of years.
The central issue at the forefront of all these
cases is this: "Does medical marijuana really have the medicinal
properties many claim it does or is this a way for marijuana
advocates to use it without fear of criminal action?"
In most instances, patients who use medical
marijuana (even under a doctor's approval) are still considered
to be using it illegally and face possible arrest or imprisonment.
Since the mid 1990's, medical marijuana ballot
initiatives have received a majority of votes in Alaska, Arizona,
California, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Nevada, Oregon,
and Washington State. The vast majority of Americans do support
legal access to medical marijuana and there are numerous studies
that have shown conclusively the benefits to patients of medical
marijuana use.
Canada as well as many States in the U.S. have budgeted for scientific research in the use and benefits of medical marijuana. Although many places have legalized the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes none of the laws governing recreational use have been altered. Recreational use remains a criminal offense.
