Marijuana is one of the oldest known psychoactive drugs, with a history dating back thousands of years. It has been used for a variety of purposes, including medicinal, recreational, and spiritual.
In recent years, there has been a growing movement to legalize marijuana for recreational use. In 2012, Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize recreational marijuana. Since then, 19 other states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana.
In this presentation, we will discuss the following topics:
• The history of marijuana
• The legalization of marijuana for medical and recreational use
• The benefits and risks of marijuana use among senior citizens.
