As more and more US states allow medical use of marijuana, science needs to catch up, says a new paper in a prestigious medical journal.
Multiple states have already passed laws that endorse – if not outright legalize – medical usage of marijuana.
On Tuesday, advocates of marijuana legalization marked ‘four-twenty’, as the celebration of cannabis smoking held on 20 April is known. And while a survey conducted by AP found that 55% of Americans don’t want marijuana legalized – versus 33% who do – 60% support medical use of the plant.
Cannabis is clearly a burning issue right now.
