There are many benefits that legalizing marijuana would bring to our economy, such as the amount of money it would generate for our government. If legalized, it would generate $3,098,866,907 a year in just taxes alone! Another benefit of legalizing marijuana is that this money that is generated, would be applied to our schools and infrastructure. This meaning that the legalization of marijuana would also help the way we live, and the way we learn.
The many medical benefits of marijuana are outstanding! For example, multiple and rigorous studies have shown that marijuana has also helped improve food intake in HIV patients. There have been even more studies relating marijuana to a substantial and outstanding role in helping cancer patients. To elaborate, in brain cancer patients, marijuana was found to decrease the number of tumour cells. These are just a few of the many benefits marijuana has on our body!
Marijuana also has positive effects on an individual's lungs. To show cause, It may help reverse the carcinogenic effects of tobacco and improve lung health! furthermore, Marijuana smoke can actually increase lung capacity. To add on to this, multiple long and in depth tests have shown that regular marijuana smokers had no discernable impairment in lung activity from non-smokers. These are just a few of the outstanding things that marijuana does for the lungs in a human body.
