Should The Federal Government Legalize The Use Of Marijuana?

Introduction

The federal government through the Ministry of Health (SSA), firmly rejected the legalization of marijuana because there is no scientific or clinical evidence attesting to their qualifications for medical use(Morgan 2007).

However, supporters of the measure say the ban is only helping those posters, to raise prices and enable the production of drugs continue linked to armed factions and criminal organizations.
