In 2011 the US budget will reach $1.7 billion from selling medical marijuana
As said by a free financial analysis firm that focuses in new and exclusive markets the selling of medical marijuana will reach $1.7 billion in 2011.
By the way, about 25 million people can get medical marijuana legally in definite states because they have special approval. There are seven states where medical marijuana can be grown legally and these markets will be opened in five new states.
They say that existing marijuana markets will be twice bigger for the duration of some next years. Actually, the number of people who needs medical marijuana will increased and, what’s more, states will accept directive and license procedures that make the sale of medical marijuana easier.
Frankly speaking, there always have been lots of debates about marijuana and if people can use it for a medical purpose.
By the way, in 1972 marijuana was placed by the US Congress in Schedule I of so called the Controlled Substances Act because it was found out that there wasn’t enough use of marijuana in medicine that days, and since that time 16 states and DC have legitimated the use of marijuana in medical purposes.
It was claimed that such diseases as, for example, cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and etc can be really treated with the help of marijuana. Marijuana protectors very often quote lots of different studies, well-known medical organizations, most important government statements, and, what’s more, they describe the use of marijuana in medicine aims all through the mankind’s history.
But on the other side, adversaries of medical marijuana disagree with its legalization and point out that using marijuana is very dangerous. And what’s more, lacks FDA-sanction, and a variety of lawful drugs make the use of marijuana pointless. They insist on the fact that marijuana is addictive and in addition it leads to more dangerous drug use, obstructs fertility, damages driving capacity. As well, while smoking, marijuana damages the lungs, immune system, and intelligence. The most awful thing is that marijuana is very often used for recreational use.
