Medical Marijuana

Smelly smell

When you feel sick you go to the nurses office and they call your parents to take you to the doctor so they give you medicine to feel better. Well some adults are so sick that the medicine the doctor gives them makes them feel even worse. So these adults can get this plant that can be consumed and that makes them feel better called medical marijuana (mary-wanna). When you have a cold so mom makes you hot soup and tucks you in bed,  you feel warm and cozy.  That is the same feeling the adults have when they consume medical marijuana (mary-wanna).

What marijuana is

Medical marijuana (mary-wanna) is a plant that grows little crunched up leaves called buds as seen in figure 2. If you held a bud in your hand it would feel soft and hairy, the buds have brownish little hairs growing out of them.

Medical marijuana (mary-wanna) has a main ingredient in it called THC, just like the frosting being a big part of making a yummy cake. As you can see in figure 1, the THC makes you feel happy, relaxed, hungry and a little sleepy. The bud itself has a very strong smell like the smell of a skunk on the road. Buds are usually dark green mixed with brownish hairs and a dark purple tint.

Difference in marijuana 

Marijuana and medical marijuana are two different things. Medical marijuana is allowed to be used by the patient because the government and doctor says it's okay for you to use. Marijuana is something people smoke to feel funny and laugh but it is not allowed by the government. Both medical marijuana and marijuana are used by many people in the United States. When people buy marijuana without doctor giving it to them, it can have other dangerous drugs in it that can hurt them. People that use marijuana without permission can get in trouble with the government. Let's say the principal made a rule that you could not bring your phone to school unless your parent wrote you a note. Your friend brings his phone to school without a note and got a detention because of it. The same rules apply when it comes to marijuana.
