Marijuana is commonly and locally known as weed or ganja. Legislatures all over the world and especially the USA have been pressurized to either decriminalize or legalize the use and ownership of given quantities of marijuana for medical benefits. This has been due to studies and research that proved it to treat several ailments such as chronic depression, queasiness, anorexia, epilepsy, psychiatric disorders, and Alzheimer’s dementia among other conditions. Legalization of the drug simply means the removal of lawful bans against the drug, meaning that it is equated to other drugs like alcohol and tobacco. Decriminalization on the other hand is to means that if found in possession of the drug in large quantities, one may be arrested but the charges dropped from the criminal record. So far no state in the USA has decriminalized its use, and this means that it is still a federally controlled substance therefore, it’s illegal. Businesses licensed to sell marijuana however supported by millions of addicts and some politicians are pressurizing advocacy to push for its legalization and decriminalization despite the dangers that come with it. This paper will present an argument that discusses the health benefits, economic implications, and benefits of combating social problems in the event that marijuana is either legalized or decriminalized.
