The Legalization of Marijuana
WHY?
The legalization of marijuana can help society in multiple different ways from medically to financially. It has been proven to medically improve how a patient with pain feels. Marijuana is a product that people desire, and even with it being illegal it hasn’t stopped people from wanting it. While keeping it illegal the government pays millions of dollars on enforcement and keeping weed users/dealers imprisoned, and that's just one of many ways it can help out economically.

How Is It Used?
Medical marijuana may be:
- Smoked
- Vaporized (heated until active ingredients are released, but no smoke is formed)
- Eaten (usually in the form of cookies or candy)
