I find your writing quite dull and bloated. That's why i always skip over your essays and drawn out paragraphs on this site. Your professors must love Dickens and Mailer, because you sound like a poor mixture of them (on Valium). You use so many words and express so little. Remember,less is more sometimes.
No offense, breh.

A lot more could be written on the topic by anybody, but I actually chose to cut it short.
Not quite sure how my writing sounds like Dickens and Mailer, but whatever you say man. Factual and opinion pieces are not really meant to be forms of entertainment, they are meant to exchange information and "inform". When you write about real issues, there is no cutting corners and taking the "less is more" approach. That's where the media fucks up and skews stories.
And my professors are business professionals who want facts, sound strategies, professionalism, execution, and know-how. I meet those requirements every time.
To each his own though.

As for me, I say foe...
However I do feel that it does work for others in a medical sense.
My uncle found out that he had full blown AIDS in 1989/90 and lived until 1993. Smoking is the only way he could keep food down, and function. Unlike now, then they didn't have the drugs then to expand life expectancy for HIV/AIDS patience.
I believe because of marijuana he was able to live a little more comfortably in his last days.
I don't believe it is a cure all drug.
If you are terminal/in pain/dying, yes.
I think doctors are too quick to sign off on people getting their card.
I have many legit reasons why I could get my card, but I don't.
I can handle physical and emotional pain.
Some can't, so I see how it could be appealing.
(And no, I dont feel Im better because I can.)
Jus' my two cents,
and reasoning for what I believe.

Maybe i should have put this clearer, and not compare a piece of Journalism with the writing styles of novelists. Still i found a lot of redundancy and contradictions in the article. For example you say you will not bore us with your view on legalization (right in the beginning), then you say "I would not go so far as to say it is bad for the country......In fact, if people were allowed to smoke weed freely, we might actually be a more laid back country."
"I believe the use of narcotics in Portugal decreased when they were decriminalized." You believe? Journalism is about facts, not what you believe.
I could go on, but like Ecose said, this aint English class, I don't really care that much, and i also doubt you'd take criticism from a German ESL student seriously.
