Arizona voters approve medical marijuana measure

The main idea of this story is that officials in Maricopa County decided to pass a law, that approves people to use medical marijuana. Officials also specified the patients who were allowed to use this...legal drug. the following people who could use m.m (medical marijuana), are people who suffers from cancer, AIDS, and many other illnesses. 50.1% of the votes said "yes" to the idea if having m.m. Yet they did not want to give marijuana to criminals who just wanted to take drugs. Ever since 1996, 14 states decided to have this law.

Reaction: i personally think that this law is a terrible idea because people could eventually become addicted to medical marijuana. I really don't know how marijuana relieves stress or something like that, but this drug could shorten their life span.

  1. It's believed by some that aside from relieving stress, medical marijuana may also be able to kill some cells of the disease in a person's body.

    I understand your point about addiction though.
