Its just a flower... link
In class we learned how all crime is relative. Smoking tobacco is actually much more dangerous than smoking marijuana. However, when weed was introduced in America, it was seen as a threat to the tobacco industries. These industries had huge say in the government so marijuana was made illegal. Also, caffeine is a terrible drug on paper. With a long list of side effects and warnings, it is the most accessible drug because any one can buy it in many different forums. My school now has a coffee stand. I would say the majority of students at my high school drink coffee or caffeinated drinks in the morning so it was probably a good investment. But why is the school making such a terrible drug even easier to get? It is all about the money. If it is legal and thereIts just a flower... linkis potential profit, my school and other school will jump on it. The United States can learn a good lesson from this. If they were to make marijuana legal, they could tax the hell out of it and I have a feeling it would have better sales than cigarettes. It could be the answer for the economy problem, but what would I know? I'm just a student who has no say in a country that is based off the people's voice.
Hmm, i had no idea thats why weed was illegal. I know that President jefferson and George washington were addicts..one did Snuff and the other did weed...not sure what snuff is. But ya imagine if that was legal today...Our congress would be oh so productive.
ReplyDeleteAhh but you become active and exercise your sociological mindfulness! And soon you'll be able to vote - but will you? And will you be an active and engaged adult?
ReplyDeleteRegarding the drug lesson, let me disagree about caffeine - I don't think it is "terrible" but I think it has a lot more effects on people than one would think considering the wide use/abuse and wide availability of the drug. As for marijuana, as you know from class, it can have dire social consequences - like imprisonment and forfeiture that even murderers do not get. I think most experts would say that marijuana's harmfulness doesn't warrant such harsh social consequences.
