| 2. | Medical Marijuana Position: | Con to the question Should marijuana be a medical option? | |||||||||
| 3. | Reasoning: |
"The debate over the "medical" usefulness of marijuana should have been settled with the 1999 publication of a study by the Institute of Medicine. One of the most damaging conclusions was that "marijuana’s future as a medicine does not require smoking." Unfortunately, marijuana advocates have dismissed that report and the volumes of respected scientific studies that prove marijuana’s dangers." (2002) |
