Movie Buisness

In many movies marijruana is shown, smoked or selling the drug of marijuana. Movies in general that include drugs, give people the idea to try them. Especially in the "Harold and Kumar" movies. These movies show the marijuana is not a bad drug is fun to try. But even after all of these movies promote the use of marijuana, the drug is still illegal.

In our society the movie industry gives our generation ideas on how to act, how what to do, or the consequences that might happen. But in the movies marijuana is always a joke or something that is not that bad. If movies are so im,portant to our society then how can the use of marijuana still be illegal if it is used in such a manor. By making smoking marijuana laughable and not giving the poeple the impression that it is a bad drug, it will give drive to the legalization of this drug.

The Music Business

Many of the rappers of the music business are involved with smoking marijuana. They are very open with this, and even make songs about smoking joints. Some rappers that smoke weed are Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa. These are only a few of the famous rappers that smoke weed in our society today. When you see these influential people in our music society, you start thinking that smoking weed can't be that bad.

When you look at the songs by Wiz Khalifa, a majority of them are about rolling joints, smoking weed,and it is the same for Snoop Dogg. All of these songs out there give kids of the younger messages that things that are looked upon our society are okay. Because this message the generation that is coming up right now, might know not understand why something is legal or illegal. So before these messages get out of control we should legalize marijuana so the right messages can be brought to the children, instead of having multiple messages that will make them confused.

The Union: Business Behind Getting High

According to this film the drug dealers don't want it to be legalized. This reason is because the government would then tax marijuana and this will take away the drug dealers profit from the selling of marijuana. These drug dealers make a lot of money with very little effort. If the government makes it legal and taxes marijuana, these dealers would lose a lot of money. The dealers of this illegal business of marijuana are making more money being illegal than if it was legal. The government would be smart if they made marijuana legal, it might be able to bring in enough revenue to decrease our national debt.

The Union, is a documentary that interviews presidents, dealers of marijuana, influential people and many scientist. If you watch this film, you discover many interesting facts about marijuana that you may have not known before. One thing that i found out is that, many presidents that have been in office, like George W. Bush have smoked weed, and yet they still have spoken against it! If someone like a previous president of the United States has smoked weed then why is it still illegal, this baffles me.

By watching this documentary i have discovered something very interesting that is the smoking marijuana is worse then drinking alcohol or smoking cigarette's. This is a lie that the government told the whole country. We all have been told that 1 joint is equal to 10 cigarette's, but in realiety smoking a joint is better for you then smoking a cigarette. Smoking cigarette's will eventually lead to lung cancer, but if you smoke a joint the chance of lung cancer is slim to none unless you smoke both. Drinking and driving is bad, this is true. If you drink and drive you have a high chance of getting in a car crash, but if you smoke and drive the chance of very slim that you are going to get into a crash.

I have learned a tremendous amount the dealings of marijuana in our community by watching this movie, i urge everyone interested in legalizing marijuana to watch the movie. By watching the movie you will be able to understand why it should be legal and other substances in our country should not be.

Decrease the People in Jail

Everyone knows now a days that the jails are over populated with criminals. What a lot of people don't know is that a lot of those criminals are in there for smoking, selling or having possessiong of marijuana. By using logic you can figure out that these "criminals" will meet actual criminals and might get involved with real crimes like robbery or murder. If the government makes marijuana legal, the jails will not be over crowded. Also it might stop these criminals that sell marijuana from getting involved in anything worse then that.
The time that you can go to jail for varies in each state, you will receive a fine no matter what and depending on the amount of weed you have you could go to jail for a year. That year away from school and your family would destroy a lot of people at a young age. It is very difficult to come back and get a good job with having gone to jail for a year no matter what the circumstance. Now if marijuana is legalized more people in the United States would have the opportunity to get better jobs then flipping burgers at Mcdonald's or working the drive through at KFC.

I believe if the United States government legalizes marijuana it will help all of America with jobs and will make the people that work at jails have a easier job. This is because the jails will have less people, therefore will be easier to handle. The government needs to priorterize what they believe. With all of the United States and the world trying marijuana, why is it still illegal here. We are the country of freedom, therefore if everyone is already using their freedom to use it even with the penalty of going to jail, it would be better to be made legal than send young men to jail.

The Gateway Drug True or False

Marijuana is referred to as the gateway drug. That is true because it is illegal and it is the easiest drug to get your hand on. You don't need an id all you need to have is a friend, and then your bound to have the possibility of buying and using marijuana. The fact that marijuana is illegal makes it appealing for kids to try it. It might be a way to rebel against society or to rebel against their parents by doing something wrong. Either way it is an attempt by the kids that use marijuana to gain attention and rebel.

The reason marijuana is a gateway drug isn't because of the affects of it, it is because of the contact you have with the dealer. The dealer will pressure the buyer to try this or we received an interesting shipment today. This pressure by the dealer is the reason that weed is a gateway drug. If weed was legal and you put a age limit on it, marijuana wouldn't be a gateway drug anymore. It would be like alcohol, where underage kids try to get their hands on it, but this time those kids won't start messing around with other drugs.

If the Government makes marijuana legal, that would greatly decrease the ammount of drug addicts in the United States. If that happens then there would be a decrease in the homeless because those drug addicts wouldn't spend all there money on hard drugs that create a strong addiction. I am not saying that it is a definate that legalizing marijuana will stop the use of other drugs, I am saying that it will decrease a lot. If the homeless decrease our society might be able to come together and be stronger then before.

I believe that Marijuana should be legalized, because in today's world a majority of people smoke it already. There is no point for something to be illegal that everyone can already obtain and use. For that reason marijuana should be legal. Since everyone does is and it is illegal, therefore the jails have started to become over populated because of all the arrests due to use or possession of marijuana. Besides not being lethal to you, marijuana helps dull the pain for those who have terminal illness, so besides just smoking it for no reason, it has medical capabilities. If you think about it, the government could benefit from legalizing weed by taxing it, then there would be a increase of money in the government.
