Pro: Medical Marijuana
We believe marijuana should be a medial option for “medical reasons”. We believe con is wrong and can’t beat us because people with medical problems need it to treat the pain. Joycelyn Elders, MD, former US Surgeon General, wrote that medical marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, and the “symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS -- or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day.” We believe that if medical people need the drugs to feel better or normal then they are able to recover with it, though it may be just a little addicting. If taken too much.this stuff can relieve many symptoms of stress and pain and can be beneficial in many lives. Should Terminally ill people suffer if they are about to die, or should they be allowed comfort? you decide.
You seriously impressed me today in class when I challenged you to cite your source verbally and you shot back with the name of the study and the year. So I know you've studied your stuff and you're going to be a debater to be reckoned with. But why the super-short opening statement? The reason you have here is good and well-explained. But isn't there more than just ONE good reason to support access to medical marijuana? (Just as there will hopefully be more than one good reason on your opponents' side as well...)
