Medical/Recreational Use of Marijuana
Marijauana should be legal for many reasons, which many people use everyday to help them in their daily lives, and they shouldnt be putting their hard earned money into a drug dealers pocket, they should be putting it into a trusted tax paying business where they know they’re getting a safe product and going to have a safe transaction!
Why is this important?
Im starting this petition to help with the legalization of marijuana! Ive used marijuana in replacement to my prescription medication for anxiety and bipolar disorder for 6 years now. When i was first diagnosed and prescribed my medication i felt like a zombie every time i took the pills. I couldn’t function properly, with or without my medication. I smoked weed for fun at the time, and it then started turning into a daily habbit, but soon I thought maybe i can try just marijuana and no pills, and with only being on the pills for a short while i stopped taking them and started smoking daily and was functioning fine with no anxiety attacks and no problems! Ive continued using daily since then and i wouldnt change it for the world. Im a better person in general and much more capable of enjoying and making it through the day. The only problem is, is that it is illegal in Texas and i have to deal with shady people in order to get my medication. I just want to be a normal hard working 9-5er thats doesnt have to worry about possibly getting robbed or shot while trying to purchase my medication; or worry about a cop taking my medication after i just spent my hard earned money on it. I shouldn’t have to put that money in a drug dealers pocket, i should be able to put it into a tax paying business that offers a safe transaction with my medical products, and shouldnt have to get worried or worked up when they see a cop. My medication should not be illegal. There is more medical benefits in this plant with less side effects than any pill manufactured, plus thw only side effects of marijuana are still beneficial!! So why should it be illegal?
