A Cry for Canabis
For thousands of years, marijuana has been utilized for its medicinal purposes. Up until 1937, when it was declared illegal, marijuana was a frequent ingredient in more than 27 pharmaceutical drugs. The question of whether or not it should be legalised has been an immense subject of debate over the past three decades. There are many reasons for which I believe it should be legalised.

If legalised, criminal dealers would be out of business and an age restriction could be placed on marijuana. This eliminates the use of marijuana by minors and rids our communities of drug dealers. Through my aforementioned works it is apparent that marijuana should be legalised for a vast number of medicinal and social reasons. Marijuana is not a devious creation of some chthonic divinity in his diabolical plot to lead the earth into a state of dilapidation; it is simply a completely organic substance that comes from the Lords' good earth to assist the ailment of di
