-Some may disagree with me because banning larger drinks will just make people buy more smaller sized drinks allowing them to take in more sugar and calories.

Many families encounter the worst of sports related injuries, such as being paralyzed or even death upon playing. The NCHSAA should be more cautious upon high school athletics and make it a safer environment towards all contenders within the divisions. It is not the NCHSAA fault upon injuries, but they can make the biggest improvement upon sports to try and prevent many risky injuries. Kids will go through the pain of an injury, not to only sit and get ready to play again, but to learn an important lesson.

Every state should’ve been like Longtown in the America 200 years ago because Longtown was a free place for everyone no matter their color. Longtown needs to be taken care of the most because it’s the first town where race and color didn't matter.An article published by Washington Post titled “Ohio town holds rare history:Races mix freely for nearly 200 years” and a youtube video called “Vanishing Act” both explains how a town in Ohio was one of the first places to be free of discrimination. According to Washington Post, a descendant of James Clemens who brought the land for Longtown named Connor Keisser stated that in his childhood memories he used to play with cousins that had different skin colors. Longtown was the first place where there

In 1996, California Proposition 215 passed with 55.6% votes in favor and 44.4% against it (Baird 2011). That is more California votes than Bush, Clinton, or most other elected presidents have received. Proposition 215 was the first statewide medical marijuana voter initiative adopted in the USA. This proposition was envisioned by San Francisco marijuana activist and owner of the San Francisco Cannabis Buyer’s Club, Dennis Peron, in memory of his partner, who smoked marijuana to help with symptoms of AIDS. Initially, California claimed its support for the legalization of medical marijuana by voting 80% in favor of Proposition P, the San Francisco medical marijuana initiative in 1991 (Baird 2011). Three California polls show a majority siding with Proposition 215, which would require only a ' 'doctor 's recommendation ' ' for marijuana use by patients with AIDS, cancer, glaucoma ' 'or any other illness for which marijuana provides relief (Goldberg 1996). ' ' A Field Poll ending Oct. 9, 1996 showed that 56 percent of those surveyed would vote for the measure, a private poll in the same period by the campaign for Proposition 215 found 57 percent supporting it, and a Los Angeles Times poll found 58 percent in favor. The opposition

Even with all the laws enacted against marijuana and the taskforces assigned to tackle the problem, new users are sprouting up and replacing those who have ceased their activity with this natural substance. This cycle closely relates to that of alcohol prohibition during the early 1900s. Alcohol was once considered illegal like marijuana and is now as ubiquitous as produce in a grocery store. However, unlike alcohol the wide acceptance for marijuana has been drawn-out and at best slow. There is an iota of hope for marijuana reform. Four states, Colorado, Washington, Alaska, Oregon and including Washington D.C., have already approved marijuana for recreational use and so far the results have been successful. Tamar Todd, a policy director at the Drug Policy Alliance, was quoted in The Guardian stating that, “Marijuana prohibition has been a costly failure – to individuals, to communities, and to the state [of Oregon].” Also that “Oregon is taking a smarter, more responsible approach to marijuana that ends the wasteful and racially disproportionate practice of arresting and citing people simply for possessing a small amount of marijuana.” This is proof that decriminalizing marijuana can be beneficial to society by not ruining lives over personal interests, and by saving resources that would

4/20 is a date that's full of historical significance, ranging from the first performance of William Shakespeare's Macbeth, to the lunar landing of of Apollo 16. However, talk to any teenager or fan of the Grateful Dead and 4/20 only has one meaning, a day to celebrate marijuana.

Marijuana has long been a schedule one drug in the United States of America. Starting in the 1930’s marijuana was demonized1 and quickly placed on the list of illegal substances in America in 1937. Many say that this demonization was a result of racism (most marijuana users at the time were Mexican and African-American) and a propaganda campaign propagated by William Randolph Hearst, who aimed to eliminate a growing threat, to the paper industry he controlled, from the hemp industry. Medicinal marijuana is currently one of the most widely debated topics in America and average Americans are learning about the beneficial uses of marijuana and the hemp crop. Twenty-three states and Washington D.C. have already approved medical marijuana and states

Marijuana, also known as cannabis, is a dry, shredded green and brown mix of flowers, stems, and leaves derived from the hemp plant Cannabis Sativa. It can be separated into two types, recreational marijuana and medical marijuana. Currently in Maryland, the number of consumers who register for medical marijuana exceeds 17,000. Over the years, to regulate marijuana use in Maryland, current laws have been changed and new laws have been put into place. More specifically, laws regarding the obtainment of medical marijuana, how state and federal laws compare when classifying marijuana possession or distribution and the potential penalties for being caught owning as well as selling this plant in the state of Maryland.

Internet users that belong to Current 2 are skeptical, sometimes to an extreme degree, typically negative, and very vocal about their opinions. As the internet has aged into the new millennium, Current 2 has grown in size to the point where it is now: large enough to have real communities and even media outlets. Movements as significant as the alt-right, and adamant conspiracy theorists belong to Current 2. It should be noted, however, that Current 2 is not exclusive to any political or social background. Current 2 encapsulates both communities of anarcho-capitalists, communists, and those who are apolitical. Common descriptors of users within Current 2 are contrarian, counterculture, abrasive, and confrontational.

It is reported that in 2012, Colorado and Washington voters endorsed any initiative that was meant to legalize the use, commercial production and even distribution of marijuana to anyone above 21 years old. Non-medical retail of marijuana kicked off in January in Colorado State and nineteen other states have followed Colorado in legalizing marijuana. Over the years, marijuana has been widely linked with a series of effects on the users which are not medical at all (Vitiello 1349).

In today’s world there’s so many things happening that have never been done before such as the legalization of marijuana. For many years marijuana has been frowned upon because of how its stereotyped but little did people know, marijuana wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be.

Many of these SRs 3, 5, 30 have not commented on the quality or the strength of their evidence. Neither were they done thoroughly – most of them (except the Cochrane SR)16 looked at one or two electronic databases. The Cochrane SR 16, have not commented clearly on any individual or total AEs.

Students, parents, teachers, administrators and other interested parties all seem to have strong and different feelings towards homework. Students complain that they have too much homework to complete outside of the hours they already attended classes. Students feel that they have personal lives to live and blow off homework while some parents and teachers believe that homework is the key to passing classes and preparation for college. This leads to teachers feeling pressured to push their students to succeed and this can easily get carried away. Parents and school systems still often discuss the topic of homework today. Should homework in school systems be stopped?
