Medical Marijuana

Recently in the United States, Medical Marijuana was legalized (in some states). In Michigan, marijuana was legalized as long as the person of possession has a medical marijuana card. Although it is technically legal, the medical marijuana card holder still has restrictions. A card holder cannot drive or operate potentially dangerous machinery while under the influence of marijuana. Since May 1st of last year, smoking was banned in all public places and the same rule applies for marijuana. The card user cannot use marijuana with anyone that does not also have a medical card. You can apply for a card if you have cancer, HIV/AIDS, or medical complications involving unresolved pain, because marijuana is a pain-killer. If used correctly, marijuana can help people with serious illnesses, fight through pain. The legalization of marijuana for those who need a pain relief was a well made decision by the goverment.
