I realize the potential controversy with bringing this topic up for discussion! I am one of those people who do not partake in recreational use of marijuana but I am still all for the legalization of it. A simple look at the statistics and data from cigarette/alcohol related deaths to deaths caused from marijuana, aren't even comparable, but cigarettes and alcohol continue to be sold and distributed around the country daily. Does anyone else see the problem in this? Death is being pushed on America with an initiative to keep the world's population at a maintainable amount. If there are too many people one Earth, it would be harder to control, and these agents of death are apart of the plan in my opinion. This is a very overlooked and not taken seriously aspect of marijuana legalization, but I feel it deserves a clear explanation from our politicians and is a bigger problem than it would first appear to be. Going in the future what can we do to change this issue, and have we been denied a right that we should have never been denied? Feel free to let me know your opinion, and I am actually looking forward to hearing if anyone has any opposing views and why? Thanks for taking the time to read my free write thoughts!!
My free write this time was 221 words but I feel like it was harder to do because I had to make it appropriate since I was brainstorming positively about an illegal activity.
I'm in the same boat as you. I've never done marijuana before, but believe it should be legalized. When one sees the stats on alcohol-related deaths, it's really quite upsetting. If someone decides to smoke or drive without their seatbelt on, it only affects them (not counting for second-hand smoke, I suppose). But intoxicated drivers kill innocent people every day.
ReplyDeleteSo I think either we should legalize marijuana or illegalize alcohol. I'm personally more in favor of the former.
Taylor, I think it was funny how you said you had to censor your text due to it being an illegal subject. You probably didn't need to worry much, as you stated you don't partake in the usage of marijuana.
