Speech Legalizing marijuana
Speech: Legalizing marijuana
Introduction:
There is in April 2016 going on a debate about legalizing cannabis, the drug minister of England is the one who started this debate. A group of students, who are studying social science, have been inviting him to their university to hold a speech about the ongoing debate. The speech is about to be hold in the election period and the speech holder is a fictive young man; he is British Liberal Democrat, and the drug minister in the Britannia. It’s a public speech for a group of youngsters, the speech holder is a youngster himself and therefore the manuscript is chosen to be written a quite in-formal language.

The manuscript:
Ladies and gentlemen, I feel honored to welcome you all, thank you for seeing me today, and letting me speak about this important matter.
The thing I will discuss is a point of interest which Barack Obama, the founders of CNN and Apple, Brad Pitt, Megan Fox and almost every musician all have in common. It’s one old species and one of the safest substances to the humans; it has a lot of medical benefits although the plant and its uses are illegal in every way.
The species is called Cannabis and I am here to talk about legalizing cannabis. I think this is the time to reconsider the medicinal properties of cannabis. As a drug-minister I am for every passing day seeing more and more evidences which sustain that cannabis provides valid medical benefits to treat a number of conditions and diseases.
An elder study at University of Rostock in Germany (January 2008), revealed scientifically clues about how some components of marijuana interact with cells to block tumor growth. At that point there were only clues but now there is a growing body of researches that shows the medical properties of chemical components of cannabis. Additionally new American surveys are showing the majority of doctors and scientists supporting the medical marijuana should be legalized nationally and that it can course real

Marijuana has many medicinal properties that have been proven to be therapeutically effective for various conditions. However, this drug also has carcinogenic properties and dangerous short- and long-term effects on the body.

In this essay, the debate over the legalization of marijuana continues, with arguments over the therapeutic benefits versus the dangerous adverse effects of marijuana, the influence marijuana has on individuals, and whether or not the legalization of this drug could benefit our economy.…

    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.…

    Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance in United States and in many other countries; this is a statement that seems to be in each article that is written about the legalization of marijuana. This is a subject that has been up for debate for quite a few years now. There are many people who support the legalization of this drug and are strongly convinced that marijuana is not a drug in which one should be punished for, but rather a drug that should not be frowned upon and seen as a way to help our nation economically and medically. On the other end, there are also many people who support the criminalization of marijuana and believe it is a drug that should remain illegal or else further use of the drug may increase and become dangerous. There was a time in history when the use of marijuana was quite popular until it became illegal, like many other substances, it did not stop people from using. The question still remains, should marijuana be legalized? Throughout this writing piece, information regarding different views and opinions on the legalization of marijuana will be presented, along with positive and negative effects this would have on our nation economically and medically.…

    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.…

    We the people in the US try to use reason and logic to determine our laws. as a consequence of this intellectual process, we develop graded scales for punishment and degrees of illegality. The more dangerous an activity the more illegal and higher punishment, lesser activities are either not illegal or endorsed. Marijuana illegality defies this rational thinking in that it is less detrimental than alcohol and cigarettes and yet is treated far worse. Most pharmaceutical drugs can kill if used improperly, like alcohol and tobacco. In the following essay, I will explain how medically prescribed marijuana has a beneficial effect on patients who suffer from certain diseases, both by treating disease symptoms and…

    Marijuana is safer than many legal drugs and was outlawed on the basis of false, unscientific claims. The incredible advantages associated with its legalisation (in terms of taxation, regulation and weakening the black market) cannot be overlooked by false ideas and a system of prohibition that does not…

    Marijuana is a very prominent and controversial issue in society today. Although many slanderous claims have been made about cannabis in recent history, the truths are slowly starting to resurface. Unfortunately, these truths are under heavy criticism due to the stereotypical view of what people view as the typical “pot smoker.” This skewed perception of a lazy and unmotivated American is the result of over seventy years of propaganda and misinformation spread by private interests who relied on illegal cannabis illegal from their own personal gains. As a marijuana consumer and a current medical marijuana patient, I strongly believe that marijuana should be legalized for all users. Currently in the United States today, marijuana is prohibited by federal law and has been a topic of controversial debate since the start of the prohibition. There are several, important reasons for the legalization of marijuana, including research concerning these issues are beneficial in understanding both sides of the debate. The result of abolishing our country’s marijuana prohibition by supporting legalization will stimulate the economy, to show the medical properties, and lower the crime rate.…

    The United States has an approved list of drugs that are considered legal and illegal that create adverse side effects and hold diverse political views. Marijuana is a substance that popular media holds in a negative undertone while other drugs such as valium and alcohol are supported, if not glorified. Popular media is a powerful tool that gathers a mass of people and provides all types of information. Some types of information are historical facts, statistics, entertainment, opinions, and biases which alter the state and views of those who access it. Marijuana has had an extremely controversial political view throughout history and is considered a “gateway drug,” enabling users to pursue stronger and dangerous substances. Although marijuana includes negative side effects, statistics prove it may be far less dangerous to people and those around them compared to legalized substances with higher danger percentages. The comparison and political attitudes of marijuana throughout history of the United States is what is examined in this paper to draw awareness to readers on the bias of intolerance towards marijuana. I plan on limiting my topic selection by choosing a limit of 3 substances to compare the statistics against and only recording major milestones that changed the way people viewed marijuana throughout American history. The underlying argument in this paper would be in the form of an ultimatum: legalize marijuana or criminalize alcohol and prescription pain medicine. The American people may not know why exactly marijuana is considered illegal when neither side effects or symptoms cause fatalities or crime when contrasted against prescription pain pills that target teenagers to adults. Alcohol related accidents are also significantly higher than marijuana related stresses however it has been considered wrong, immoral,…

    Due to a lack of research and propaganda-fueled perceptions of Cannabis, the legitimacy of its prohibition comes to question. The complications with legality deters any well-funded pursuits towards any beneficial research, but devoted scientists and universities continue to find ways to conduct the modern research and information that we currently have on the medical properties of cannabis. Although the lack of research creates a skepticism, legalization will provide patients with a safer alternative medicine, and provide the Nation with a new source of revenue.…
