Even Thomas Jefferson even said “Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country” (http://www.hemppresidents.com/pot-and-hemp-quotes.htm) while currently marijuana is only legal for medical use in certain states. Marijuana treats those with migraines, relieve symptoms of chronic disease, prevents seizures, etc. Also the ‘American Association of Cancer Research has proved that marijuana slows the growth of tumors. The widespread of marijuana in America its hard to estimate the amount illegally in America. The Process Starting off I simply looked up “major social issues in America” which showed a list of current events and problems.
Johnson appealed his conviction all the way to the Supreme Court. Robert Justin Goldstein wrote a 272-page book on this issue examining this milestone case in America’s history, Flag Burning & Free Speech: The Case of Texas v. Johnson. The book was published in November 2000. He depicts both sides of the intense case with true trial evidence. His thesis throughout the book: “Is burning the American flag as an act of protest protected by the First Amendment’s Freedom of Speech.” Goldstein takes us from the 1989 incident that ignited the national controversy back to the origins of the flag as a symbol of America’s liberty and democracy.
(Clark, n.d.) In November 2012, voters in Washington and Colorado agreed to directly challenge the federal marijuana prohibition and legalize the growing, selling and consuming of marijuana for all people age 21 and older. State officials have spent the last few months working on regulatory schemes that would not run afoul of federal authorities, who have so far taken a hands-off approach to marijuana enforcement in both states. (Clark, n.d.) What message does this send to the users of marijauna and to those who continue to sell and distribute marijuana illegally? In part, that's because legalizing drugs takes away a significant deterrent against drug use. Moreover, for as long as we have monitored drug use, we have seen that whenever there is a decrease in the percentage of young people who perceive marijuana use as harmful, the percentage of users increases.

Daisy Ortiz October 5, 2011 Period 5 GUN CONTROL: is it a Federal or State policy issue Congress continues to debate the efficacy and constitutionality of federal regulation of firearms and ammunition. Various federal laws have been enacted since 1934. Gun control speakers argue that they control access by criminals, juveniles, and other "high-risk" individuals. They contend that only federal measures can successfully reduce the availability of guns. Some seek broad policy changes such as near-prohibition of non-police handgun ownership or the registration of all firearm owners or firearms.
Sandra Riggs Prisoners of Parole Jeffery Rosen The article Prisoners of Parole conveyed a lot about a program implemented by a Judge and a Criminal Justice Professor at John Jay College in New York. The program being implemented focused on paroles mostly convicted of drug related offenses. The program was established with the primary focus of keeping paroles from violating their probation by using strict scare tactics, such as random drug testing and many other tactics that I will discuss further in this paper to make them think twice before violating their probation. After reading the article Prisoners of Parole, it never occurred to me that the “United States represents five percent of the world’s population and nearly twenty- five
In 2007 former Middlebury College President John McCardell founded Choose Responsibility (CR). Choose Responsibility was founded as a nonprofit group focused on the consumption and recklessness of alcohol by young adults.

Recently over one hundred college presidents signed The Amethyst Initiative, a public statement calling for an informed and dispassionate public debate over the effects of the twenty one year old drinking age.

Why the Federal Government Should Legalize Marijuana Emily Ross COM/215 11-10-2014 Does anyone know the precise reason why the U.S. Government will not legalize the use of marijuana? Do you know of any reasons the American government should legalize marijuana? Although the legalization of marijuana is an extremely controversial subject for most it is a topic that will be debated for years. The debt the government consumes trying to keep marijuana illegal is outrageous. In 2009 an estimated 858,408 individuals were arrested for marijuana violation.
A Schedule One Substance doesn't have any accepted medical use in the United States and a high potential for abuse. The state argued that the federal government's policy [of targeting physicians for recommending Marijuana as medicine] deliberately undermines the state by incapacitating the mechanism the state has chosen for separating what is legal from what is illegal under state law. States are arguing that they could use Medical Marijuana as a source of income to help pull us out of debt. According to “priceofweed.com” a crowd sourced Internet archive of pot prices across the country, the national average cost of an ounce of high-quality marijuana is roughly $350. Pot smokers can really stretch their dollars on the West Coast.
