Drunk driving is an issue that effects many people across our nation. People do not realize the affects alcohol can have on the body and mind that slow decision making while driving. This issue begins in the home. Children see their parents, or other adults figures, have a beer or a cocktail and get in the car.

Marijuana and Cocaine are both considered substance one types of drugs. There are multiple effects of the use of Marijuana and Cocaine in the United States. Marijuana is a drug typically smoked by teenagers and adults. People use Marijuana for medical reasons or recreational reasons. As for Cocaine, derived from the leaves of the coca shrub is an abused illegal drug (Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th edition, Q1, 2017). In the United States Marijuana and Cocaine have been around in numerous states, such as, New York and Colorado. This will be a discussion about Marijuana and Cocaine’s emotional, psychological and physical effects.

Today in America, millions of American citizens are both confused and outraged by the fact that there are still laws that are preventing people from using one of the most popular and controversial, illegal substances in the world: marijuana. According to recent polls, fifty percent of Americans want marijuana to be completely legal and decriminalized (Blodget), and a whopping eighty percent of Americans want it to be at least legalized for medical use (RangelMD). So why do so many Americans want marijuana to be legalized? To some this question can be easily answered, but to others, it’s not so simple. There are way too many reasons to count why

In summary, on 03/29/16 at 1855 hours I was patrolling the area of 1200 S 54th Ave., at which time I observed a vehicle (red 07' Lexus IL Z161188) traveling northbound in the wrong lane to pass a vehicle at a high rate of speed. A traffic stop was conducted on the vehicle occupied with three (3) male subjects.

Source A is an academic abstract of a study comparing the relationship between the legalization of medical marijuana in various states and the increase in abuse, use, and dependence of the substance. There would be a greater number of people who use marijuana recreationally with its increased legalization. Source F is supports Source A in this sense, in that the legalization of the drug will promote the recreational use and therefore an increased social tolerance towards the substance. This allows for there to be more people to accept the use of the drug in society, a negative influence. Source F also directly references studies similar to other sources, such as Source B, claiming that medical marijuana does not magically cure all disorders

The article describes how years of U.S. government-prevented marijuana research has resulted in a deficiency of information pertaining to the pros and cons of marijuana use. It also discusses the marijuana legalization movement in America. The article has an excerpt of Scientist Yasmin Hurd and her tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, experiments involving rats. Also the article highlights the effects that marijuana use might have on human genetics and, specifically, on adolescent development. Some of the therapeutic aspects of marijuana are also described within this article.

In 2006, A Drug Free World's "The Harmful Effects of Marijuana” emerged in the media. ADFW reasons that marijuana is harmful in numerous ways, including cerebral damage and debilitation to the immune system. Throughout the article, they also try to persuade the reader that cannabis is a "gateway drug" that undoubtedly leads the users into much harder drugs. When reading this article, one must consider that research to support anything can be found if one searches hard enough, but without a doubt the fallacy of their conclusion is due to their research seeking facts to support an already-assumed conclusion. Consequently, I have found that many of their points simply do not justify their conclusion.

There is a great need for drug tests that can be used to test for marijuana because of states with marijuana being legal and used for recreational purposes. Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington are all states where marijuana is legal for recreational purposes. Because marijuana is legal there needs to be a test like alcohol sobriety test to prove that a person is endangering the lives of others while driving. The drug test need to be able to be done on scene and done quickly, so that the person can be taken off the street and put into jail an keep other people from being harmed.

This paper is going to be about the importance of not drinking and driving, and knowing what could happen if you drive under the influence of drinking. A lot can happen and some people don’t realize the damage that could be done once you are behind the wheel. Drinking and driving can cause different affects. For example it can cause not being able to concentrate on the road.

Driving drunk impairs you while you're driving and can impair your judgment to make decisions and judge things. Drunk driving doesn't just effect you. It can effect a lot of people in big ways such as losing a family member and changing some ones life as if you paralyzed them or something like that. I did not know that alcohol got into your blood stream and went into your brain in like 20 to 40 minutes. Also I did not know that you are impaired if the alcohol in your blood stream was 0.08. Those videos were super sad because they all lost loved ones or they were severely injured. I would feel terrible if I was drunk and hit someone. I couldn't forgive myself I don't think, so I'm not going to drink and drive or not even drink. Also you can

June 14th, 2008, I remember it like it was yesterday, the day our family eagerly waited for all year long, it was the day of our family reunion. We were all to meet in Grand Lake, Colorado, and pick our camping spots for a weekend of fun and games with the family. As the evening approached us most of the family had already arrived, except for my brother-in-law Joaquin and his family, not thinking much about it (since we knew there was a chance his family would not make it that night) we carried on with our night. We later received a text message saying that Joaquin had to work late and he and his family would not make it until the next morning. Approximately 3 a.m. my husband’s phone rang I answered, it was a man on the line he quickly asked “Are you Joaquin’s sister?” I kind of laughed and replied “Well it depends” and he said “Ma’am, I am looking for the family of Joaquin Camacho” at that point I realized that he was serious.
