Drug enforcement in these states is extremely vigilant, and penalties for illegal possession of marijuana are strict. However, it is possible that this strict policing of possessors of marijuana are making prescriptions more acceptable in the eyes of the law. Movements to legalize marijuana for general use may be less effective in the current conservative cultural atmosphere than efforts to restrict illegal marijuana trade combined with increased interest in the medical benefits of marijuana use. Studies that reveal these benefits are plentiful, and readily available to the medical and scientific community. Pharmaceutics researchers should take marijuana more seriously as a source of new treatments, especially in the field of AIDS research, where promising treatments are few and far between.
I watched my brother weaken day by day and I know now that if he had had the opportunity to take medicinal marijuana to relieve some of the pain and nausea he wouldn’t have had suffer as much. Regulating and legalizing marijuana would really help improve our economic situation and free us from that debt that our nation currently owes. Our government could control our law enforcement spending and focus primarily in programs to educate our youth about the dangers of habit forming drugs, gangs and so forth and use their time wisely to arrest those who are committing felonies and/or dangerous
Marijuana being illegal is only making us spend more money. All of this would make America better in my opinion. The only downside I see to legalizing marijuana would be the easy access to everyone. Specially the children, they are ones we worry about, but if we are as strict as we are with cigarettes and liquor, I think things will be ok. We will just need to raise the fines and be harsh with them. Now stores would not want to sell it illegally to minors.
With all these risks I guess it becomes easy to understand as to why kids that smoke marijuana do poorly in school. Personally I would have to mostly agree with Shaw, that marijuana should not be legalized. Marijuana is an addictive drug that can lead to other worse drugs, and legalizing it would be irresponsible, and would cause lives to be in danger. I am in agreement that smoking marijuana can, and does cause an increased likelihood that
Legalization of Marijuana The legalization of marijuana has been a debatable topic discussed for many years. The government stated that marijuana is a harmful drug that isn’t acceptable to society. Although that may be the government’s opinion they overlooked the benefits of marijuana. As a member of society I believe that marijuana should be legalized because of the amount of benefits, marijuana is a benefit to health care and treating certain illnesses, dealing with mental and psychological problems and also help our society and economy. Marijuana is an aid for health care and treatment for certain diseases/illnesses such as cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, and even arthritis discomfort.
Drug testing of high school athletes has a negative impact on the classrooms, it punishes innocent students, and it can sometimes be completely useless when students know how to outsmart the test. Therefore in summary, drug testing penalizes student athletes more than it helps them. Drug testing of high school athletes has a
The reason that I feel that random drug testing in schools is important is because there are drugs everywhere and can easily be found. The main reason that many teens start using drugs is because of peer pressure and they feel that's there way of being accepted.The reason drug testing would help schools is because now the parents these students will be able to know if there child is possibly doing any drugs and can help prevent them from further use. The schools can also provide counseling for these students which can benefit a safe and private way to stop using drugs. Many students would probably resent the fact of talking a drug test so, I feel that two random drug test during the school year would let the school know if they are doing drugs and by the second drug test if they have chosen to keep doing drugs.And since most schools test only students who do something more than just show up for class—like join an after-school club, or play a sport—kids can avoid the activities rather than quit drugs. Drugs in school are a very big issue because schools are a drug free environment.
Persuasive Research Paper: Medical Marijuana Persuasive Research Paper: Medical Marijuana Thesis: Medicinal marijuana needs to be legalized because it is overall less harmful to the human anatomy than prescription medicine, therefore it should be legalized and regulated in the same manner as prescription drugs. For many decades, Cannabis has been regarded as one of the means for committing felony of individuals in the society. The different part of the Cannabis plant, such as its stems, buds, and leaves, undergo a process of preparation, to produce marijuana. When inhaled, marijuana produces a number of negative effects in the biological system of the user, such as distorted perceptions or hallucinations, increased heart
The national government promotes the “Above the Influence” campaign, which researchers have determined that students may get the wrong impression from. They discovered that since the implementation of the campaign, students are more likely to believe that their peers are using drugs, which makes them more likely to experiment with them. (Teen) While this is not the desired outcome of this government based campaign this is the result it is having on some students. To me it seems pointless to spend the government’s money on programs that do not get the intended
The fact that designer babies are a controversial topic is ridiculous. There plenty of benefits to designer babies that overshadow the insignificant negatives. Designing babies can prevent many genetic disorders, promote societal progression, and promote a happier world. This is no longer the Dark Ages and humanity should not be held back by the erroneous opinions of the few. VIVA LA
