Well cannabis are generally of two types you see,Cannabis Indica and Cannabis sativa ;the first variety is more often used for the medical purposes and the second as recreational product.Though we kinda relate it to marijuana but that's not exactly the case-it has got it's psychoactive and beneficial physiological effects though there's no denying it's detrimental effects.If taken as a medicine,certainly legalize it

I have been an advocate for the legalization of marijuana for quite some time- that will not change as I fully believe this should happen. Uruguay has legalized cannabis for a couple years now I believe, so far, no issues. If anything it has helped Uruguay grow economically. I have not once heard on the news about people dying from cannabis down in Uruguay, or riots happening due to this drug, or elevated crime rate.

Colorado is another example of this. Granted, it is a US state however it is the same concept. It's grown economically, job rates have gone down as it has caused more jobs to open up for the unemployed.. there are more positives than negatives to legalizing marijuana.

We have alcohol and cigarettes, which kill millions of people each year, and yet we have all of these commercials talking about how dangerous it is for people to use. Well if it's dangerous, why have it legalized? Shouldn't that be a no-brainer? Marijuana is a herb, not a drug. I refuse to call it a drug as it is not true. If it grows in the ground, it is natural. Herbs grow naturally, marijuana is a herb.. not much more has to be said.

Yo as a cannabis user who spends most of their life in a state of psychosis I think you are not the best example of cannabis being safe.

Cannabis is a legitimate medication that God created and gave people the right to use.. It has numerous medicinal applications. It treats many things. It is my body, and my right. If I want to use it, I have that right.
