Marijuana Is Legal in Connecticut

          Marijuana has been legalized in Connecticut for medical reasons only. The senate voted 21 to 13 in favor of the bills passing after 10 hours of debating. Pharmacists with special licenses will be dispensing it to people with cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, and epilepsy. Connecticut and 16 other states (including the District of Columbia) have Marijuana legalized. I agree with this decision in the fact that it for medical purposes only. This is meant only to help people with certain diseases, not to have it abused by people who just want to get high.

          Since Marijuana is being used for medical reasons, there should be any problems for the most part. Some people are probably gonna try to fake prescriptions to get the marijuana, but they will probably will get caught by the pharmacist. You don't have to worry about the customers overdosing because it is nearly impossible, the amount of marijuana it takes to overdose is enormous. You can give the customer all they need for the rest of their lives and it still might not be enough to overdose.

          I think it is great that an infamous drug can be used to treat people with serious diseases. I would like to know how marijuana helps improve the condition of the people with the diseases. Maybe other states will follow Connecticut's example and legalize marijuana themselves. The whole United States of America should legalize marijuana for its medical purposes because it doesn't have much harm in itself. If all of the United States legalized marijuana, then more people with the diseases could be treated and be health again.

          Hopefully people in Connecticut will start a chain of marijuana legalization and people can be treat for the diseases they have. I wonder what other diseases marijuana could be used to treat.
