Marijuana should be legalized for medicinal purposes. It treats nausea in patients in chemotherapy, lowers inner-eye pressure in patients with glaucoma and lowers the anxiety levels of people with (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
I have PTSD and glaucoma, and I have toked. It relaxes me, gives me the munchies and does lower inner eye pressure.
It is the Eros (life instinct) versus the death instinct, and marijuana can help you see the beauty in things the life instinct, but the reason marijuana is illegal is because the government favors the death instinct over the life instinct.
I am in favor of decriminalizing marijuana our jail cells are full of drug users while murders, rapists and child molesters are being let free on reduced charges while those who have drug offenses.
What’s wrong with this equation?
