Pros and Cons of Marijuana Legalization

Marijuana has potential medical benefits but also health risks. While 80% of Americans support legalizing marijuana, scientific evidence on its medical efficacy remains limited due to restrictive clinical trials. Marijuana is legal for recreational use in 20 states and for medical use in more states, but frequent use may negatively impact memory, cognition, lung health, and increase risks of addiction and accidents. More research is still needed to understand marijuana's risks and benefits.
