I'm all for legalizing marijuana, especially for those with painful, terminal illnesses, but prescribing it to to kids in treating A.D.H.D? I don't think so. This is a really good article, it's as unbiased as can be, in my opinion, pointing out the real downsides to cannabis use, but also addressing its noted benefits in some. It doesn't attempt to carve out a solution for the issue, which, could it be done so easily, would have already been.
The writing is clear and as a whole it's an informative article. I like how the author looks at it not only from the health benefits versus risks aspect, but also takes into account safety issues (kids buying drugs on the streets), academic performance (using one student's success story as an account), the family component (parents accompanying their kids while getting a prescription).
