Running head: LEGALIZING MARIJUANA 1
Legalizing Marijuana: Should Marijuana be Legalized for Medicinal Use?

SHOULD MARIJUANA BE LEGALIZED FOR MEDICINAL USE?
2
Legalizing marijuana for medicinal use has been a controversial issue for some years
now. While some say marijuana is beneficial when used medicinally; others say it is highly
addictive and should not be legalized. The divide is clear. Currently, 25 states allow marijuana
for medicinal use and only 4 states allow recreational use (Metts & Wright, 2016). Those that are
for the legalization of marijuana believe that marijuana is a safe and effective treatment for the
symptoms of chronic illnesses. It is marijuana’s addictive properties and ability to become a
gateway drug that concerns those who are opposed to legalizing marijuana. The question
remains should marijuana be legalized for medicinal use? The answer is no; marijuana should
not be legalized for medicinal use because of its addictive properties and lack of research of the
drug for specific ailments.
