In recent years, scientists and medical researchers have discovered that cannabis possesses certain medicinal qualities that are beneficial. For instance, it is now acknowledged that the use of this cannabis helps to relieve the suffering of patients afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS). The latest research that was conducted by the Complutense University in Madrid indicates that cannabis has the potential to kill cancerous 'glioma' cells.
Governments should acknowledge such findings and legalise cannabis in order to alleviate the pain of patients who are afflicted with such diseases.

The state is justified in introducing legislation to prevent individuals from causing harm to themselves. For instance, in many countries, there are laws requiring the wearing of seatbelts in cars. Moreover, as this has article has pointed out, the use of cannabis does lead to medically and socially harmful effects which affect the other members of the society..
