Legalize

Legalize It In 2000, George Bierson’s “Marijuana, the Deceptive Drug”, was published by the Massachusetts News. Bierson concludes that marijuana is harmful in many ways, including brain damage, damage to the reproductive system, and weakening of the immune system. He also attempts to convince the reader that marijuana is a “gateway drug” that leads users to venture into much harder drugs. I believe that research to support anything can be found if one is looking hard enough, but that the fallacy

In this paper I intend to show that the motives for the criminalization of marijuana was not for the public good, but were inspired by bigotry and fear, and potentially for political and monetary gains. This paper will also show that contemporary arguments for the continued criminalization of marijuana are based on skewed studies rather than factual information and that regulation, taxation and responsible use are the solutions to satisfying the demands of both sides of the issue. Finally, this paper

negative. The same study cited by opposition also states that the economy of New York would stand to gain $210 million in the next three years if gay marriage was legalized (Peters). When New York did legalize gay marriage the economy did improve, and more money was gained. If all of America legalizes gay marriage this would cause a huge marriage boom. With this marriage boom, massive amounts of money would pour into the economy. Countered with all the negative expenses of legalizing gay marriage,

I believe that the time has come to end the prohibition of marijuana in the United States of America. If marijuana were a legal substance and taxed like alcohol and tobacco, billions of dollars in revenue would be generated that could be put towards paying down our national debt. Further stimulation of our economy would result from the thousands of jobs that would be created in order to grow, manufacture, process, market and distribute the product. Overcrowding in our prisons would be reduced

Prostitution Should Remain Legal! Prostitution should remain illegal do to the fact it is dehumanizing to women, love, and self-respect. Prostitution is dehumanizing to the women who practice it because it shows to regular people that prostitutes are whores. Reason why the public eye thinks prostitutes are whores because you’re selling your body to a random stranger you don’t even know. In prostitution men remove women's humanity. With that said, buying a woman in prostitution gives men the power

Legalize It! Growing up, everyone is told that, “Drugs are bad for you,” time and time again. Now as a kid you don’t really understand the reasoning behind it, but you listen to your authority figure regardless. I remember being told this my entire life and even to this very day. But as I got older I realized that people would still use drugs even though it’’s illegal. I could never understand why someone would go against the law and jeopardize their life just to use drugs? The drug

It is no different than any other consensual crime, yet it is an issue that gains a lot of attention because of the controversy surrounding it. There seem to be supporters for and against this billion dollar monopoly, but the majority of citizens recognize gambling as a legalized institution within the Canadian economy. Gambling used to be what a few meticulous people did with the help of organized crime. Since we live in a liberal society, people see it that we should be able to spend our money

A person has the right to life, why not death? These are two topics that are debated everyday in some form or another. Death is something that we all will face, it is inevitable. There is no miracle cure to fix it and to keep the subject in the dark could be considered irresponsible. Thesis End of life discussion are to be used to talk about options available to patients as they face a terminal illness or just old age. The options available are many; from do not resuscitate orders to palliative

Life has its daily complications and we often need an escape. Some of us find relief in a nice glass of red wine and a piece of double chocolate cake. Others may find their arrival in paradise on the rim of an ice cold beer. An abundant amount of us turn to more common fixes like cigarettes or food. Then there are the ones that can’t find pleasure in common fixes, they’d rather turn to drugs for peace. Drugs like Marijuana (Cannabis) are often frowned upon because of its effect on the brain and has

If Marijuana Were To Be Legal Drugs are a major influential force in our country today. The problem has gotten so out of hand that many options are being considered to control it or even solve it. Ending the drug war seems to be a bit impossible. The war on drugs seems to be accomplishing a lot but this is not true. Different options need to be considered.
