        Glaucoma
        
        Epilepsy
        
        Cancer
        
        All. Of these potential health benefits. Make it clear, at least to me, that if nothing else, marijuana should be legal
      - Another 20 states have legalized it to be used for medical purposes
  - - - Meanwhile, there are thousands of deaths of year of people directly overdosing on alcohol
