Running for Texas Senator

The truths about marijuana are slowly starting to resurface, the government keeps ignoring that cannabis could one day be as powerful for the U.S. Unfortunately, these truths about marijuana are under a lot of criticism because of the stereotype of what people see as a "marijuana or cannabis smoker." There is a great difficulty in this law because marijuana is still recognized as a harmful and dangerous substance in some states. This can cause problems because each state has their different views and opinions on the matter, and have their own rules and how the rules apply towards it. The twenty-six states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form, but California, Massachusetts, and Nevada just passed the law for recreational use. The states that have medical marijuana and recreational legalization are Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, Nevada, and Alaska. The states that only have medical marijuana legal are Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, Hawaii (Ingraham). However, legalizing marijuana could have some benefits instead of being a drug with some bad reputations. Marijuana should be legalized because of medical reasons, safety reasons, and have some benefits to society.

There has been a lot of debate on whether or not marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes in all fifty states. Many people believe that marijuana is an unsuitable substitute for many of the medications we have today. On the other hand, many researchers have conducted extensive studies that have shown how beneficial medicinal marijuana can be. Many states have already picked up on this, and have laws set in place to allow the use of medicinal marijuana. Medicinal marijuana has a wide variety of uses, and should be allowed for medicinal purposes in all fifty states.

Marijuana use is on the rise, especially among teenagers and young adults. With the recent laws passed in eight states about legalizing medical marijuana , many stand divided when it comes to this never ending debate, but I firmly believe that this miracle working drug should be legalized throughout the United States.

Sujita K C Government 2306-71001 Professor Sherry Sherifian 28 September 2017 Running for Texas Senate The government of Texas is composed of entire democratic state government.

Recreational marijuana legalization in Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska have, technically, broken federal law. As long as the federal government does not do anything about the state’s blatant disregard for higher law they can do what they want. I think that because state and federal law contradict at the moment there should be clarification. States should only be able to pass a law such as this if it is also legal on a federal level, but if there are no repercussions for violating federal law where does it end? Recreational marijuana is a state issue, in my opinion. If it is to be legalized in America at a federal level then each state should be allowed to choose their side. At this point, federal government is showing its cracks. 4 of our states are currently not obeying the Constitution; federal law trumps state law. Our government needs to pull itself together and start paying attention to what the states are doing.

Texas Senate District 25 is currently occupied by incumbent Donna Campbell. This district is considered one of most heavily gerrymandered districts in Texas, stretching from north San Antonio to South Austin. Campbell has held office since 2012 after defeating the incumbent in a runoff primary race. Though Campbell won the general election in 2012 by 31.2% points and 2014 by 33.4%, there is an expected GOP backlash that could bring her large wins to something reachable by Edward Kling. Since this is a nonpresidential election Steven Kling would need around 120,000 votes, depending on turnout, to reach 51% and take the district.

Everyone dreams to run their own office and be their own boss. But it’s never that easy than we think. Texas is one of the biggest state of united states. So, it’s not in everyone hands to take care all those duties and responsibility that they are made for, especially in Texas which has very larger in area and densely populated. One should be physically and mentally prepared and able to give up their personal wills and desires to handle the office. All you need to do is you should be able to make a right decision, you should be creative, you should plan everything ahead of time and use your best knowledge to run the office very smoothly. So, I think we

Mohan Karki Prof. Sherry Sharifian Govt 2306 30 Oct. 2017 Running for Texas State Senate Texas is divided into many city, county, districts where a person, who is resident for at least 1 years and citizen of United States can run for the office. There are different offices like United State Representative, Railroad Commissioner, Texas Governor, Texas State Senate, District Judge and so on in Texas. To run for this kind of organization a person should spend a hundred of dollars to promote and other activities. A report from the Texas Tribune shows that Kenneth Sheets, Texas House representative spend $548,844.71 and it cost $20.32 per vote (Essig). 1 This is just one example of how much it can cost to run for one office. Thus, I

Sadiksha Shrestha Professor Sherry Sharifian GOVT-2306-71001 3 Oct. 2017 Running For State Senate Election I, Sadiksha Shrestha, am running for Texas State Senate from District 16 as a democratic nominee for the upcoming election. As per Texas State Senate election of 2012 and 2014, for district 16, there were no democratic candidates for the state senator election. For 2014 election, the candidates for the election were Don Huffines (republican) and Mike Dooling (libertarian). Mike Dooling dropped out and did not appear on the ballot for the election causing Don Huffines to win the election without any opposition. There were no democratic representatives for the past few senatorial elections because people have an assumption

Medical marijuana should be legalized at the federal law for medical purposes because the federal government does not like the idea of legalizing marijuana and bans the use of medical marijuana, but there is a growing number of states that feel differently, so that is why it should be legalized. Back in 2012 18 states including Washington, D.C., legalized medical marijuana. These states legalized it for people with conditions such as epilepsy, cancer, chronic pain, and etc. These states still cannot stop the federal government from imposing its own laws. These federal drug laws were unreasonably extreme. Consider the case of Chris Williams, who opened a marijuana greenhouse in Montana after the state legalized medical marijuana. Many people feel the need to legalize medical marijuana so why not legalize it? The only thing holding people back is the federal law.

Should medical marijuana be legal across the United States? Imagine a world where individuals who have chronic pain did not have to suffer anymore. Envision a cure for cancer, a disease many Americans are killed by daily. Picture people with severe, violent mood disorders being treated. Most people think the answers to these problems are simple and could be solved by over medicating patients. Today, there are twenty states in America who have legalized medical marijuana for specific health and medical related conditions (Medical Marijuana 1). The United States should legalize medical marijuana so patients who suffer from chronic pain can be treated, cancer could be cured, and mood disorders can be treated.

Currently 23 states around the country including Michigan now offer some form of Medical Marijuana policy for it’s residents with Colorado, Washington State, Oregon, and the District of Columbia now allowing recreational purchase. So

Marijuana is legal currently in 25 states and the District of Columbia. Although many people do not see the positive outcomes that medical marijuana can bring, it should not be a crime because it can help others. Most of the time, when the word marijuana is used people think of an illegal drug but there is more to it than just being illegal. It can help others who need something for pain. Or for people who need help relaxing and calming down. Medical marijuana is frowned down upon on when it should be studied more that way other people can try it to see if it will help. Medical marijuana should be decriminalized because it helps patients with cancer, helps with epilepsy, insomnia, and anxiety, because it helps with these factors there will be a federal law that regulates medical marijuana.
