Marijuana Capstone Speech
Hey Carolyn, I know that I told you in your introduction, but I get so happy when anyone gets close to their finish line. It gives me hope, so congratulations on this being your last class before your capstone. I have one more class before my capstone and the fact that the capstone class is 16 weeks scares me. I do like your topic concerning the legalization of marijuana. Now some states have it legalize for medical and personal use. This is a hot topic and it was on the ballots this pass election for some people. I really don’t have a personal option when it comes down to marijuana being legalized or not. However, I do agree with the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) where it concerns focuses on removing it from the criminal justice system and having

    Research Paper On Evan Mcmmullin

    First is the topic of legalizing marijuana. Marijuana is a mind altering drug (“Majority of Americans”). It was originally a street drug but is now becoming used for many illnesses. There are 6 states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana. Doctors give out medical marijuana cards. Only the holders of these cards are allowed to carry one once on them and 6 ounces at home (‘State Marijuana laws map”). I agree with Evan McMullin that marijuana should not be…

    Cannabis Persuasive Speech

    I’ve grown up in a time where cannabis has been greatly talked about in positive ways. Some of my friends have used it before and they've told me that it was very beneficial to their mental and physical health. Many people benefit from using this drug and some just enjoy doing it. I feel that people lose some of their personal freedom when they’re not allowed to use cannabis. Im sure that you, a government official, would be concerned about the people's view on marijuana.…

    2. Discuss and debate whether the often considered “benign” drug known as marijuana is or is not addictive. In your discussion/debate, consider the finding by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that in 2008 for persons age 12 or older, 41% (102.4 million) of illicit drug users used marijuana during their lifetime, and past-month users of this drug accounted for 6.1% (14.2 million) of all illicit drug users. Do you think this often-considered “benign” drug is harmless to society?…

    Marijuana, also known as “weed” or “pot” is one of the most used drugs in the United States today. Marijuana involves all age’s majority being ages 13 and older. Weed typically looks like brownish/greenish dried up leaves which can be rolled up into a joint or a cigarette. And even though weed might look harmless, it has become a serious altercation.

    Legalization of Marijuana Rhetoric

    In her essay “Here 's why I 'm against legalizing marijuana,” Loolwa Khazzoom addresses the debate about legalizing marijuana in the United States. Around 2003, Khazzoom visited Amsterdam, where marijuana was legal. In an attempt to avoid marijuana, she searched for an internet café free from smoke, and failed. She resorted to the downstairs area of a café where the designated smoking section was upstairs. While she was there, Khazzoom was still hit by a “pretty hefty contact high” and was barely able to make her way back to the place she was staying. She did not enjoy the rest of her stay because of the “pot-induced headache” she would receive again and again with the presence of marijuana smoke. Khazzoom returned to America glad that she could be in public without being effected by marijuana. Her central idea is that marijuana should not be legalized in the USA for the same reasons she supported the ban of cigarette smoking in public places, but, at the same time, she believes that people should not be punished for smoking marijuana privately. Although Khazzoom uses the logical, emotional, and ethical appeals to argue her point, she focused on the use of the emotional appeal and skimped on the use of the logical appeal, which led to a less than persuasive essay. The method of development used was narration, in which Khazzoom told a story about her experience in a place where marijuana is legalized.…

    Drug Trafficking in the U.S.

    We will be discussing drug trafficking in the United States. I selected this topic because as a teen-ager I had a few run-ins with the drug trafficking industry as I was trying to find myself. It is fast money which is what is enticing about it. I have since learned the dangers that I put myself through. Now I try to educate others so they do not make the same mistakes that I made. Fortunately for me, I was able to get out and change my life before it was too late.…

    Alabama Bill Legalization of marijuana

    After reading and listening to this debate over marijuana in the state of Alabama, I would use two different strategies for applying creativity towards this issue. I would use improving things and redefining concept. To improve on this idea of legalizing marijuana for medical reasons and making possession of marijuana a slap on the wrist for the first offense, I need to look at the broad spectrum of the outcome of these bills if they were to pass. Research would be a vital role in knowing the facts and showing the improving ways or redefining the concept of marijuana as a legal product for the people of Alabama to have. Writing down all the key…

    Marijuana

    I personally agree with this view and go one step further. I believe that marijuana should be de-criminalized and handled the same as alcohol. It should be legal to own a certain amount for home use. This should be taxed and that money applied to education and some form of universal healthcare. I digress…….This assignment was not about what we do or don’t believe. Our assignment was to analyze the argument for what it is.…

    Legalization of Marijuana

    Several topics in modern day society cause controversy, but one topic that out ranks them all is the legalization of marijuana. The main argument is whether not marijuana should be treated the same as already legalized drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol. Many Americans use marijuana illegally; the people using the drug range from the age of teens to even adults in their eighties. Marijuana is considered by most, especially in legal terms, as a dangerous drug. Although the drug is seen as such, many still continue to use it and argue it should be legalized for several reasons. Both citizens and government officials alike debate this topic. To successfully develop and argument for the legalization of marijuana the topic must be defined, the history of the topic must be unveiled, an argument must be made, and a good solution should be proposed. Yes, both sides of the argument both have well supported positions, but marijuana should be legalized by the United States government because the facts supporting legalization far outweigh the arguments keeping the drug as it is.…
