Maybe it’s an ego and pride that prevents the mild drug getting the nod with many lawmakers belonging to the older generation. The elders would still believe that marijuana fries the brain and sets loose criminal instincts. The fact that illegal marijuana is steeped in crime internationally does intensify such a belief. Yet the writing on the wall is clear. Truth must be revealed after all and American state is vouching for medicinal marijuana and the recreational setting is slowly ridding of the taboo too.

Marijuana is a pain relief
Besides the mental problems like depression that prompt users into marijuana habits, Morgan Freeman talks of physical pain. He suffered fibromyalgia pain in the arm after an accident and only marijuana could help his pain. He strongly believes that marijuana should be legalized. Alcohol on the other hand has no medicinal use except to fight cold, perhaps, though beer is said to be profoundly healthy.
