Medicinal Marijuana helps suicide rates drop in younger adults
New Zealand has a very high suicide rate, and also the highest rate of cannabis arrests in the world. With that being said, research recently conducted in the USA shows that once the use of medicinal marijuana became available, there was a notable difference in suicide rates of young adults. What’s interesting about this all is that the rate is still continuing to slowly fall while in other states where medicinal Marijuana is not available, the suicide rate continues to rise. I’m not saying that based on this alone that Marijuana should be available for medicinal use but it should definitely play a factor in a proposed bill as these are potential lives which could be saved.
