Medical marijuana can be prescribed for usage by people other than for adults. There are a number of children who are under the age of eighteen that use it to treat a condition that they suffer from. These minors may suffer from a condition such as cancer or autism and the use of marijuana is the only way for them to get any relief from the symptoms of their condition.

This is a touchy subject for a lot of people to face but it is one that needs to be addressed in order to bring awareness to the general public that just because a person is considered to be a minor does not mean that they suffer from a disease any less than an adult. Many people are quick to jump up and shout that this is contributing to the delinquency of a minor. These people may or may not be right but the important thing that needs to be remembered is that a person that suffers from a chronic disease needs to have a quality of life that they will be able to tolerate for the amount of time that they have left in their life.

Anyone who has ever seen a person knows the agony that they go through, this suffering is in many times a lot more severe for minors who are suffering from cancer. In the end you need to ask yourself which is better for a child, for them to suffer while their body is ravaged by cancer or to have the ability to make their last days a lot more enjoyable. It may be controversial but the simple fact is that minors are people too.

A child’s parent is in charge of providing care for their child. If the minors doctor has approved the usage of marijuana then the parent is the one that needs to worry about the fallout of their child using this. This is really the only case in which the usage by a minor is acceptable, all other times the drug needs to be left alone and only dealt with by adults. The minors parents are then one that needs to take responsibility for their child using this to treat their condition.

The research is out there that shows that usage can decrease the effects of certain diseases on the human body. The same research can be applied to a minor since they are just smaller, younger versions of an adult. If the research supports the usage then there is no need why they should be denied the right to use it in order to elevate some of their symptoms. We are a society that is always looking out for the welfare of the children, yet on this subject we hide our heads in the sand in an effort to take any responsibility away from us on the subject. In the end it all comes down to the simple matter of what is good for the adult is good for the child. Disease knows no age limit neither does a person’s suffering. Even the youngest of people can suffer too.
