There are some campaign groups such as, the Physicians Associated for AIDS Care and National Lymphoma Foundation all agree that marijuana should be legalised for medical purposes because it has been proven to show some relief to people with AIDS etc according to the following post: http://www.studyworld.com/newsite/ReportEssay/socialissues/drug%5CThe_Debate_Over_legalization_of_marihjuana-34645.htm .
The argument was made that marijuana is less dangerous than cocaine and morphine and therefore, should be legalised. The opposition groups claim that the reason why they do not want marijuana to be legalised is because there is no hardcore evidence that it isn't dangerous.
My opinion is that if marijuana eases someones medical condition then they should be allowed to use it. If you're in so much pain why should the government have the audacity to tell you what to do, after all they're are not in the same position as the person in pain and therefore, medical professionals and the patients should be given the opportunity to make this decision themselves without being penalised for it.
You have given a strong argument and have made me change my views on marijuana being legalized for medical purposes. i also believe that if it helps the patients condition then why not provide it to them.
