Answer 1

Answer:

The factors that prompted its legalization include its medical and recreational use and a potential income avenue worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Marijuana affects mostly the mental health and makes an individual to be afraid and anxious all the time.

Marijuana helps to reduce serious pain experienced by individuals and also a treatment for insomnia.
