- Some of the main reasons that people today believe marijuana should be legalized are to alleviate financial deficits, for medicinal use and as a way of solving the drug cartel problem and prison overpopulation. Those who remain in support of the prohibition of marijuana believe that marijuana has negative effects on ones health, legalization of the drug will not solve the U.S. debt problem and that adding a third inhibiting and possibly dangerous substance to the market will not only not solve the problems with alcohol and tobacco, however increase them.
- I'm planning to propose a law which is seperated out in steps over a span of time. This will gradually ease the nation into legalized marijuana instead of thrusting it upon the nation all at once. It will also allow for the United States to repeal the law before things become too bad if the law creates too many problems.
- I have done a lot of research on the topic and feel like I am prepared to write this proposal, but if any more research is obviously necessary then I will do it to make sure that my policy is backed by legitimate evidence and support not just my own ideas and bias.
I think you have a lot of good and valid viewpoints on this issue right now. I like your topic and I think your paper probably turned out really well. I think the law you want to propose is the only way to really legalize marijuana without the public and government disagreeing completely.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty interesting that your proposing a law that will gradually take affect. That seems like a smart idea considering the uproar just legalizing any aspect of the issue could create.
