Hello, I am Shawnee Swann, and this is my rant over medical marijuana. There’s been an ongoing debate in our country about whether or not marijuana should be legalized, and if so, for what reasons. Some believe it should remain illegal and no one should have access to it. Others believe it should be legalized medically, and there’s another group of people who believe it should be legalized recreationally. I take a personal interest in this issue because throughtout my lifetime I’ve watched multiple family members suffer from various types of cancer. Watching a loved one go through that is just heart breaking because you see them struggle from day to day. They’re just trying to get by, get through the next treatment and there’s so much pain and suffering involved. We wish.. I wished I could help or somebody could help, but there wasn’t really anything at that time that was known to help provide relief. The fact that there is this substance now that is proven to help people, in many different areas, find comfort is amazing. I believe everyone should have access to this. I think this is a public issue becuase, for example, people with parkinson’s disease, or that have seizures they can be helped instantly by a prodcut of marijuana. The fact that they could live a pain-free, more normal day-to-day life is something that everyone should be concerned about. Currently in the Unites States there are nine states that have legalized marijuana recreationally and thirty states that have leaglized it medically. So i believe this needs to be talked about until the entire country has legalized it and has figured out a way to provide it medically.
