Many consider medical marijuana to be one of the most contentious debates in health care today. Twenty states and Washington, D.C. have legalized the use of marijuana to help alleviate side effects from a number of diseases and medications. But federal law still defines it as having no medical value and being as addictive as heroin. The Medical Marijuana Program in the nation's capital took 12 years to legalize and more than three years to implement. But though it's now up and running, VOA's Tala Hadavi tells us only a small number of people have signed on.
如今许多人认为，在医疗保健上，大麻的使用一直引发众议。美国已有20个州和华盛顿制定法律允许使用大麻来减小一些疾病和药物的副作用。但是联邦的法律认为，大麻没有任何医用价值，并且会使人想吸食海洛因一样成瘾。在华盛顿的医用大麻项目使用了12年来完成大麻的合法化，而如今已经是项目正式运行的第三年。但是虽然这个项目正在进行当中，但是本台记者塔拉·哈达威带回报道称，只有一小部分人可以获得购买大麻的准批。
