This article is about medical marijuana and a lot of the benefits it has for people who
have medical issues and how it can help them. It also talks about the minimal research
that there is because it is only legal in 23 states. Im going to talk about the medical
benefits from this article and use some of the examples it talks about.

They did research in California with males between the ages of 25-44 with medical
marijuana to see if it did have any benefits to it. They had eventually noticed that it was
helping with a lot of the problems that people have such as anxiety, eating disorders,
insomnia, and even depression. I am going to be able to use the facts in the tables that the
article presents and have more evidence about the benefits.

states.

Search Premier. Web. 23 Oct. 2016.
This article talks a lot of about the evidence on medical marijuana and how there is very
minimal evidence because of the laws that are set and barely anyone can study the
benefits. It will help my argument that we need to at least legalize it for study purposes so
we can scientifically know how it helps us economically and medically.
