Should we legalize marijuana? Why or why not?
Definitely not.
If anyone has been keeping up with the records, the most commonly used drugs by teenagers are those that are legal, since they're "easily attainable". Now, usually, I have this attitude in which if a teenager uses drugs, gets busted and becomes a loser, I would think: 'Well, SOMEONE has to flip burgers. It's their fault for making a poor decision.'
However, I'm just tired of stoners all over the place. Sure, it should be accessed to those who need it, but t's only used for a pain-killer, why not just prescribe stronger pain-killers?
I will relate this to one of my life experiences. It was a few weeks before high school was over, and I guy I knew invited me to his birthday party. Knowing he was a stoner, and knowing how many people he invited, I declined. However, two GIRLS told me I should go, that I HAD to go. I was beyond pissed, because I know they wanted me there for one reason: They didn't want to be the only ones sober at what's basically a "pot party". I told them they DIDN'T have to go, and god knows I sure didn't want to. However, they convinced me because Joe was going. He was the most awesome guy I knew, and he's sober, so I thought, 'FINE!'.
Walked in, SO MANY PEOPLE. You guys should know that the only parties I like going to, are parties that have good, clean fun, with a close-knit group of people. I can't STAND big parties. Anyway, after a while there about 70% of the room's population retreated to the bathroom to do you-know-what. Poor Joe had to go to the bathroom, but everyone was fucking SMOKING. I stayed in the corner with the two girls, not doing anything besides being BORED out of my MIND. The whole night was just LAME. And when I finaly got the courage to play Rock Band with the other sober kids, the high people decided, "OH MY GAWD! LET'S LISTEN TO MUSIC OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD AND DANCE!"
We couldn't hear ourselves play. So we eventually gave up on playing and did nothing..again.
Then, we actually found a corner where the sobers (which is like...6 of us in a party of 30-40 people) played Super Smash Brothers: Brawl. I got home at three, getting a ride from the Girls' mom. Now, you may be wondering, 'What does this have to do with Medical Marijuanna?'
I'll tell you: The mother of the "birthday boy" has been prescribed medical marijuanna, and stuck it in her cooking to distribute to the "party-goers". She's probably half the reason the majority of the party was high. The reason she did it: She figured that doing drugs is part of "growing up".
What kind of stupid excuse is THAT!? The reason she thinks it's "alright" is because she's trying to be one of those 'hip' parents and decide, "Since I was always high in the 60's, I want my son to be too!"
Not only will teenagers have access to marijuanna, but if they have a parent who is prescribed it, they might take it from them or worse: Have the parent be the reason their kid is on drugs in the first place. The birthday boy's mother fed him POT-BROWNIES at the age of FIVE.
Do you REALLY want this to happen to the nation's children? No entrepreneurs , no leaders, just a butt-load of lazy people flipping burgers?
I don't think so, but then again, SOMEONE has to "have it their way".

That's why i dont go to much parties. People do those things and in all honesty, I do feel left out, but I'm not the one that can easily go along with peer pressure. Anyway, great answer my friend.
"She's probably half the reason the majority of the party was high. The reason she did it: She figured that doing drugs is part of "growing up"." omfg. wtf. is she psycho?
RYC: yay for free time :D and no no, i still think zac efron is lacking of male hormones.
boredom gone, stress here. noooo.
RYC: AHAHAHAHA. idk but zac efron looks like a kid/girl version of chase crawford.
there won't be enough burger places to employ them all. we can't let this happen.
we're all in trouble if parents become enablers. eh.
ryc: yeah, the first 20 times. ha. i just want some more concert dvds and unreleased songs. no more news attention, though. i think we understand what happened.
:D I did.. in the office when my boss was at a meeting. wheeee for super fast CAD skills under pressure! lmao. and they turn into not so super fast when i'm not under pressure. hahhaa.
gosh, i know, right? okay so maybe coming from me is a little hypocritical. haha, I am somewhat attracted to a guy who SLIGHTLY resembels Effron and Crawford. Except he HAS MALE HORMONES. you can tell from first sight yo! haha.
go on youtube and google the 'the llama song' it's so funny! haha.
Good point. I know some of my schoolmates would want to legalize it because they say there are no physically harmful effects to it as opposed to cigarettes. But I wouldn't say much about it because I think smoking marijuana is just plain nasty. I didn't think about it like you have.
@redmakesmeblue - People says that marijuana is better for you compared to cigarettes, but people who say that haven't done the research. One joint of marijuana is just as bad as smoking five cigarettes at once when it comes to the smoke obstructing the lungs. One joint causes as much lung damage as 2.5 cigarettes
Sure, medical marijuana can relieve pain, which is why it's prescribed, but I think the cons outweigh the pros and I wonder why the patients aren't prescribed normal painkillers
This is one of the issues I'm somewhat conservative about. lol
