This document discusses arguments for the legalization of marijuana. It notes that over 60 million people have been affected by marijuana law enforcement since 1985, while zero deaths have resulted from marijuana use alone. Mandatory minimum sentencing laws have severely punished minor marijuana offenses. The document also argues that marijuana has medical benefits and that hemp is a useful resource. It states that the war on drugs costs billions annually and fills prisons without reducing drug use or availability. The document compares the addictiveness and health effects of legal and illegal drugs, noting that marijuana is less addictive and has never directly caused a death. In conclusion, it questions why marijuana remains illegal given that it is less harmful than legal substances like alcohol and tobacco.

The legalization of marijuana
The document discusses the history and current status of marijuana legalization. It notes that marijuana has been used for thousands of years for medical and religious purposes. In the early 1900s, it was prohibited in the US due to racist fears that it incited violence in Mexican and black communities. However, the document argues marijuana has medical benefits and should be legalized. Legalizing marijuana could generate tax revenue, reduce incarceration rates, and allow the reintroduction of hemp as an industrial crop. The document aims to dispel myths about marijuana and advocate for its legalization and regulation.
Marijuana facts presentation
Marijuana is a plant whose flowers and leaves can be dried and consumed. It contains THC which causes intoxication when used. Over 100 million Americans have tried marijuana, and 14 million use it daily despite risks of legal prosecution. Marijuana has medical benefits and can treat conditions like cancer and glaucoma. Legalizing marijuana could generate tax revenue, reduce criminal activity of drug dealers and cartels, and free up law enforcement to focus on more dangerous drugs. The NORML organization advocates for marijuana law reform and educates the public on the benefits of legalizing marijuana.
Marijuana 2015
Marijuana refers to the dried leaves and flowers from the Cannabis Sativa plant, which contains the psychoactive chemical THC. It is most commonly smoked in joints or pipes, but can also be consumed in food or tea. Short term effects include altered perception and increased appetite, while long term use may negatively impact memory, learning, and lung health. Although it is addictive for some long term or teenage users, many argue that its medical uses for reducing pain and nausea from conditions like cancer outweigh potential negative side effects. Currently, 23 states have legalized medical marijuana, while 4 have legalized both medical and recreational adult use.

Marijuana Legalization
This document discusses marijuana legalization. It provides background on the 13 states that have legalized medical marijuana and conditions it is used to treat. The main point is that marijuana is currently a Schedule I drug, making it illegal except for research, but supporters want it changed to Schedule II so it can be prescribed more broadly. The document outlines views of both supporters and opponents - supporters argue it helps medically and won't cause harm, while opponents argue it is unhealthy and could lead to abuse or use of other drugs. It concludes by noting the debate around whether legalizing marijuana could send the wrong message or help those who are medically suffering.

Marijuana
This document summarizes information about marijuana, including its composition, common names, methods of consumption, both potential health benefits and risks. It describes marijuana's main psychoactive compound (THC) and its effects on the brain and body. Both short and long term effects are outlined. The document also discusses marijuana's mechanism of action in the brain and highlights several potential therapeutic uses while acknowledging some health risks with frequent use.
Medical Cannabis
Medical cannabis is prescribed to cancer and AIDS patients but also for other conditions like glaucoma, Crohn's disease, and epilepsy. When smoked, cannabis releases cannabinoids that act as neurotransmitters in the brain affecting memory, pleasure, pain, coordination and movement. While some risks are presumed from smoking, studies have not proven long term effects. Medical cannabis is legal in 16 US states and opinions vary among doctors on its medical potential and risks from smoking.
5 Medical Cannabis Uses
Cannabis has historically been known to bear medicinal benefits and researchers continue to find more reasons why patients require cannabis prescriptions. The 5 uses featured here are by no means the only uses for medical marijuana though they are some of the most common uses.
Drugs abuse and addiction
Drug abuse and addiction is a disorder characterized by destructive patterns of substance use that leads to problems or distress. It is considered a disease that involves tolerance to or withdrawal from the substance, as well as social, work, or school problems. Commonly abused drugs include alcohol, amphetamines, anabolic steroids, caffeine, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, hallucinogens, inhalants, nicotine and more. Signs of drug abuse include feeling the need to use regularly, failing attempts to stop, making sacrifices to obtain drugs, and risky behaviors while under the influence. Treatment involves screening, brief interventions, and brief treatment depending on the severity of substance abuse problems.

Legalizing Marijuana[1]
This document discusses the history of marijuana use and arguments for legalizing it. It covers how marijuana was used medicinally in ancient Asia and brought to other parts of the world. In the US, it was initially legal but made illegal in the 1930s due to prejudices. The document argues for legalizing marijuana and regulating it similarly to alcohol. It believes this could reduce crime rates, generate tax revenue, and allow medical access to marijuana. In conclusion, the document argues marijuana prohibition violates founding principles and legalization would benefit society.
Drug Addiction
Drug addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite harmful consequences. It is considered a brain disease because drugs change the brain's structure and functioning in ways that can persist long after drug use has stopped. Common addictive drugs discussed include narcotics like morphine and heroin, cannabis, cocaine, hallucinogens, stimulants, and sedatives. The document provides details on the medical uses, effects, risks, and withdrawal symptoms associated with each class of drug.
Oral presentation
This document discusses drugs abuse and provides information about different types of drugs. It defines a drug as any substance that alters normal bodily function when absorbed into the body. Drug abuse is described as an intense desire to obtain increasing amounts of a substance. Various drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin and their negative effects are explained. The document emphasizes that drug abuse treatment can work with no single treatment appropriate for all and that remaining in treatment is critical for effectiveness.
Chapter 11 Marijuana
The document provides an overview of marijuana (Cannabis sativa), including its historical use, methods of use, active ingredients, effects, and medical uses.

Medicinal Marijuana
Marijuana is a mixture of dried leaves, stems, seeds and flowers from the hemp plant that alters the mind when consumed. It has been used as an agent to achieve euphoria since ancient times. While it has potential medical uses such as treating Alzheimer's, cancer and HIV/AIDS, smoking marijuana carries health risks like increased heart rate and lung irritation. Marijuana is illegal in India but still used in some religious rituals, and its availability is a major obstacle to medical research due to abuse potential.
Final Presentation about Drugs
Drug education aims to provide information about drugs and teach skills for living in a world where drugs are common. It covers what drugs are, their history and effects. The document discusses different types of drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. It provides statistics on drug use and deaths in the Philippines. It explains reasons why people use drugs, signs of drug addiction, and how drugs affect the brain and life. Treatment for drug addiction is also discussed.

Pros and Cons of Marijuana
Every drug has pros and cons. Marijuana has some cons as well, if you are totally against it. If you look at the brighter side, the pros weigh heavier than the cons.
Cannabis
Lokesh Agrawal prepared a document on cannabis-related disorders for his 6th semester topic. The document discusses cannabis preparations from the Cannabis sativa plant, including marijuana, hashish, and hash oil. It covers problems that can occur from cannabis use such as intoxication, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory, and musculoskeletal systems. Signs and symptoms of cannabis use and the etiology of cannabis-related disorders are explained. The document also discusses the psychosocial reasons for cannabis use, diagnostic features, and treatment options which include inpatient and outpatient programs.
Drug addiction
This presentation discusses the history and effects of drug use and addiction. It begins by defining drugs and their medical uses. It then discusses how drug use has occurred among humans and animals for thousands of years. The presentation covers the causes and negative effects of drug abuse and addiction, including health issues, social problems, and criminal behavior. It also provides details on the production of major drugs like opium and organizations working to address addiction worldwide and in Pakistan.
Senior research paper
The document argues that cannabis/marijuana should be legalized for both medicinal and recreational use. It notes that marijuana has many proven medical benefits and has never directly caused a death, unlike alcohol and tobacco which kill thousands each year. The document also argues that legalizing marijuana could generate tax revenue, create jobs, reduce crime by weakening drug cartels, and utilize hemp which has many industrial and commercial uses. Overall, the document strongly advocates for full legalization of cannabis at all levels of government in the United States.
Should Marijuana be Legal
This document argues that marijuana should be legalized for several reasons. It notes that over 100 million Americans have tried cannabis, yet it remains illegal and criminalized. Legalizing marijuana would remove the criminal status for millions of users, generate tax revenue, and free up law enforcement resources to focus on serious crimes. The document also argues that public health would not be harmed by legalization, citing research showing marijuana is less harmful than alcohol and its legalization has not increased usage rates in other countries. Workplace safety would also not be impacted, as drug testing and bans could still be enforced.

Sam Shakespeare advocates for medical marijuana and believes disparate state laws are harming families. Research shows the body's endocannabinoid system interacts with marijuana compounds to benefit immune and nervous systems. Studies indicate medical marijuana can safely and effectively treat conditions like AIDS, cancer, MS, pain, epilepsy and glaucoma. However, the war on drugs has led to militarized policing and mass incarceration of nonviolent drug offenders in the US.
10 reasons against
The document analyzes and rebuts the top 10 arguments made by the DEA against drug legalization. It finds the DEA's claims to be misleading and contradicted by facts. For example, it argues prohibition has failed to curb drug use and fueled criminal networks, while legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco are more harmful than illegal drugs like marijuana. The document concludes the DEA lacks credibility in arguing about drug laws given its mandate is enforcement, not policymaking.

This document discusses the history of marijuana use and arguments for legalizing it. It outlines marijuana's medicinal uses in ancient Asia and its spread to Europe. In the US, marijuana was legal until the 1930s when it became prohibited due to prejudices. The document argues for legalizing marijuana and taxing it like alcohol in order to benefit medical patients, the economy, and reduce criminal penalties while generating tax revenue. Legalizing marijuana could help combat drug cartels and the document provides comparisons to show marijuana is less dangerous than legal substances like alcohol and tobacco.

It discusses how marijuana was made illegal in the 1930s and the myths around its dangers that are not supported by evidence. The document claims that prohibition has failed and legalizing marijuana could generate tax revenue while reducing crime. In summary, it advocates for regulating and taxing marijuana to control its use while gaining economic benefits.
Drug Wars
The document discusses the failures and negative consequences of the War on Drugs, arguing that it has been counterproductive. It outlines how the War on Drugs has led to soaring incarceration rates, racial disparities, violence from criminal underground markets, corruption, and has not reduced drug use. Despite massive spending, drugs are more available and potent today. The War on Drugs also undermines public health and civil liberties. Alternative approaches that decriminalize drugs could better address the issues at a lower cost.
Drugshow
The document discusses the issues with prohibiting drugs, including that it is very costly, causes increased crime, and has disproportionate negative impacts on minorities. Prohibition creates unsafe drug markets with quality control issues and violence since transactions cannot be resolved legally. It is argued that legalizing drugs could reduce costs and crime by establishing regulated markets where disputes are settled lawfully. The document also notes that criminalizing drugs has disenfranchised millions of citizens, especially people of color, which raises issues of fairness and racial justice.
Economic effects of Drug Legalisation
A fun take on a stigmatised topic. This project uses facts to put a case for drug legalisation in India taking examples of countries which are already reaping benefits from de criminalisation.
Craig
- Marijuana was made illegal in the 1930s largely due to racism, as it was associated with Mexican immigrants and black jazz musicians. Politicians at the time made explicitly racist statements about marijuana.
- Over time, different groups such as communists and hippies became associated with marijuana use and were targeted. However, racism was a major original factor in criminalizing it.
- Marijuana prohibition has failed to curb drug use and has created unintended harms. Legalizing marijuana could reduce the harms of prohibition while distinguishing it from more dangerous drugs. Treating marijuana differently than other illegal drugs may also increase trust in government.
Myrden Leap Pps
The document discusses harm reduction strategies for drug policy. It summarizes the mission of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) to educate about the failure of the war on drugs and reduce harms. It also discusses overdose prevention, drug treatment courts, safe injection sites, and decriminalization efforts in places like Vancouver and the Netherlands that aim to improve public health and safety.
Drugs in the Global Community
This document discusses drugs as chemical commodities that are bought and sold globally. It outlines the major producing and trafficking countries for different illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine, and heroin. While some drugs are legal, most that are trafficked internationally for profit are illegal. The drug trade is a highly lucrative but decentralized illegal business involving producers, traffickers, and local dealers. Reducing drug demand is key to better regulating the large illegal market.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.
