Today I read an article about the use of medical marijuana in the northwest. IT is still very handily advocated by the general public. The government continues to advocate it as well. However, there are some very concentrated areas in the northwest, usually more conservative small, rural towns, that are very active against its use. I find that the arguments that the opposers of medical marijuana are the same and over and over. I read reasons saying that it is unethical to intoxicate the body with any foreign substance. This confused me because the protesters were not acting against other medicines that have many of the same side affects that marijuana has. Most of the reasons were based on ethical and moral beliefs, and seemed very closed minded.
