Legalizing marijuana has been a very controversial topic in the world recently. Many states are thinking about legalizing marijuana. There are many reasons why this could be a great thing for the Unites states, however, there are also quite a few reasons why this could cause problems for the country.

They one thing that we noticed helped her mood a lot was dronabinol. Dronabinol is a pill form of THC. When she was taking it she was in a much greater mood much like she was before being diagnosed with cancer. This also led to a ton of other health benefits for her because of the dronabinol she was not only eating again but it had seemed to slow some of the side effects of the chemotherapy.
