Marijuana: Persuasive Essay


In California there is still more controversial debate over the use of


marijuana for medical purposes. The advantage with using marijuana for medical


reason is, it eases the pain, and relaxes them so they can enjoy the rest of


their life. For these terminally ill patients the marijuana also makes them


happy and enjoyable to be around. The disadvantage is that after smoking it for


an extended period of time the majority of the patients will develop lung cancer.


That is not so bad for them considering there is no cure for their disease. My


stand point on this subject is that it is a good idea for marijuana to be used


as a medical drug for the treatment in terminal illnesses.


The state law proposition 215 which says, that pot is legal to smoke if


you are using it for medical reasons in terminally ill cases. This proposition


was on the November ballot and was voted into effect. The federal law that was


put into effect no to long ago, states that using marijuana for any reason


including medical reasons is illegal. This law was put into effect by the


president Bill Clintion. I feel that the law enforcers in California should


ignore the federal law or appeal it in court.


There is another drug that is illegal to use in any way but for medical


reasons. That drug is morphine, it is used in hospitals to relieve the sever


pain of any patient. The reason I know this is that recently my mother was in


the hospital for a brain aneurysm and when she got headaches she was given


morphine. Th

is is just like what is going on in California, people diagnosed


with AIDS and other illnesses should be able to use strong medicines including


marijuana to ease the suffering that they are experiencing.


Especially in California where there are more AIDS cases there than any


other place in the nation. All over the state there are clinics that supply


patients with pot for them to use to relax. Some of these places have strict


guidelines for acquiring marijuana and others do not have so strict guidelines.


One of the clinics or clubs(as they call them) was raided and shutdown by state


narcotics agents. The club’s name was Cannabis Buyers Club, which has


thousands of members was the one shutdown. The patients that received their pot


there were upset. City Hall, in the first week got 150 calls asking for help.


Officials went to the Healing Alternatives Foundation and asked for help.


Matthew Sharp, the foundation director and an AIDS patient told the mayor that


he would not help because of the guidelines.


Matthew sharp also said he “really never liked to smoke pot.” But after


he was diagnosed with wasting syndrome, the smoking helped him to relax and it


helped he over come the nausea and start eating again. That is another way of


how smoking pot has helped these patients start enjoying their lives more.


There are more patients with stories like his and that is why I feel that


Proposition 215 should be enforce and not the federal law. I think that


California should appeal the federal law for the health and happiness of the


patients. That is my position on this subject.
