Germany Legalizing Medicinal Marijuana

The legalization of medicinal marijuana has officially spread across seas to Germany.  The laws will work just like the laws for medical marijuana in the United States, which allow certified doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients in need of cannabis’s therapeutic effects.  Just like any new law, some of the German population is against this idea.  They are using scare tactics, claiming cannabis is addicting and has little to no medical benefits.  These scare tactics can be looked at as hortatory tools because they are trying to encourage good behavior.  From what I’ve observed within the US, the whole medical marijuana system is being abused.  There are so many technicalities that give drug enforcement a headache that could be eliminated by simply legalizing marijuana worldwide.
