In the article “Blurred Boundaries: The Therapeutics and
Politics of Medical Marijuana” (Feb 1,2012) J. Michael Bostwick, MD discusses that
if medical marijuana is truly needed because it does not truly heal one that is
in pain or sick but gives them a release from their pain or sickness. Bostwick
supports his thesis by thoroughly explaining what medical marijuana is, the
medical use it is for, dangers of use and the research results of using the
drug. The purpose of this article is to prove to readers that it should not be
used for medical reasons. In order to prove this he gives several reasons of
why it is dangerous and results of studies that have been performed. The
audience of Michael Bostwick’s article would be those who are sick and believe
that medical marijuana would help them. It may make some feel better but it
does not heal their illness.
