Should marijuana be legal
Marijuana is a well known drug and is used by many people. Marijuana is legal in someplaces like Cambodia, North Korea and is legal on a state level in a few states in USA but why not everywhere.My big question is should marijuana be legal everywhere. As with everything there are pros and cons, supporters and and haters and i'm going to write some of the pros and cons.
Yes marijuana should be legal
Marijuana isn’t a drug that is full of chemicals so it isn't as harmful as say alcohol or cigarettes and can be used medically.If it were legal and sold in stores less kids would be able to start using it while underage.Legalizing marijuana gives people a little more sense of freedom because they can choose to use it or not without having to worry about breaking the law.Even if marijuana isn’t legal people can still get it but the prices are very high and people will start to get poorer and poorer and not be able to buy the necessities.marijuana is not very dangerous more people die from obesity and the government can’t make a law on how much you eat so why make something illegal when it isn’t harming many people. If marijuana were legal the police would be sent out less on drug busts and they could do something more worthwhile.Marijuana could be used for medical purposes such as a pain reliever and can help with many illnesses.the government could make a lot of money if they legalized marijuana selling it alone would make money and if you taxed it a lot more money would be made. those are just some of the reasons people think marijuana should be legalized.
Marijuana should not be legalized
People often use marijuana as a stepping stone drug that leads them into more harmful drugs like heroin and cocaine.People could drive while under the influence and they could do other dangerous things.Some people just consider doing drugs morally wrong and could protest or riots.The legalization of marijuana could lead to legalization of more dangerous drugs or drugs all together.People who abuse the drug can have more access to it and can be physically harmed.People who use the drug for medical purposes can become addicted and abuse the drug.People who use the drug can become violent and parents can become addicted and neglect their children.The easy access can make more customers who might become addicted Legalizing marijuana will send the message to kids that doing drugs is ok and is not a problem.Instead of facing their problems people could resort to doing drugs thinking there problems will go away and when they don’t they just use it more and more. People who use it might not be able to stop and they will use it more the rest of their lives and will start to get unhealthy .Smoking too much marijuana can lead to brain damage and even the people who don’t use it could get affected by secondhand smoke.

ReplyDeleteWouldn't teenagers get it more if they sold it in stores because people would just buy it for them.
I like how you did a real life problem that the government and doctors are arguing over now.
I liked how there was both pros and cons, I like how it was detailed, you could add more because just reading this I could think of like 4 more things you could add
ReplyDeleteI really liked all the information you gave, and the topic was very interesting to read about.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have said whether you think it should be legal or not.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments here folks. I agree, you've presented both sides well and I like that you read three different sites to gather information.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to know what you think of the credentials of the author of "balanced politics.org". Would you consider him an expert? I tend to question bold, blanket statements like "marajuana isn’t a drug that is full of chemicals" and "police...could do something more worthwhile". I wonder what we would come up with if we were to get some expert opinions on the other chemicals that end up mixed in with marajuana or the kinds of things police find on drug busts.
I like the topic~ brought up very nicely.
ReplyDeleteI think you should get your facts a little more clear.
It'd be great if you gave us your view on the marijuana problem.
I like how you put you project on the topic Should Marijuana be legal I liked how you put the pros and the cons because then people had to think about it
