Hook: What are the benefits of legalizing marijuana in the U.S.?

Background Information: Marijuana is made from dried and shredded parts of the cannabis plant, like the stems, leaves, seeds, and flowers. Cannabis is divided into three species – cannabis ruderalis, indica, and sativa. Cannabis ruderalis contains low levels of Tetra Hydro cannabinol, which is one of 113 cannabinoids discovered in marijuana. Cannabis indica produces large quantities of THC, which provides euphoric effects that make it popular for use both as a medicinal and recreational drug. When compared to indica strains, cannabis sativa generally comprise of a higher THC concentration. However, all three can be treated as subspecies of C. sativa that originated from Central Asia (Keyhani et al., 2018). The plant is also known as hemp, even though this term refers to cannabis that is cultivated for non-drug use.
