ENDING PROHIBITION AGAIN

By the 1990s, the purchase and consumption of marijuana and other narcotics had become a growing activity among the population. In fact, the American government having noted that these activity had serious consequences on population. However, violence, crime, sex assault was due to heavy use of drugs and alcohol. That is why American administration took measures to stop and regulate, by imposing heavy tax on all imports and marketing on its territory. Therefore any possession and consumption of cannabis without authorization was considered as an infringement of the law. After a wave of protest from many pharmaceutical laboratory claiming that cannabis or marijuana had therapeutic effects, it is sometimes used for medical reason, the drug is use as pain killer, it is beneficial for people being under chemotherapy. In addition, thesis for medical use was advanced, therefore many States start legalized the use and marketing of this drug while limiting doses.

I think banning marijuana in the united states would be harmful to the country. firstly, it will be a shortfall for the American treasury, because they will no longer be able to levy the taxes due to this activity. secondly, patients who were under treatment with this plant will be in danger because they can no longer benefit from this prescription.

However, some industries that have invested millions of dollars in this business may have gone bankrupt and the staff unemployed. It will therefore be important for the administration to increase control without prohibiting it, at the risk of creating other problems which may impact the lives of millions of employees in this sector.

Like tobacco, marijuana has negative effects on the health of consumer, why Administrations prohibiting the sale of marijuana only?

Discussion: Ending Prohibition Again

The word “marijuana” was added to the English vocabulary by malicious companies with the intention of changing people’s views of marijuana, from a plant useful for fiber and medicine, to a dangerous, addictive, and destructive human substance. And I think the modern prohibition of marijuana and the Progressive Era prohibition of alcohol are really similar. The purpose of both bans is to reduce crime, but the results are exactly the opposite. Illegal activities increase and organized crime increases in size and earn a large amount of money from there. For alcohol, the Twenty Amendment was passed to abolish the Eighteenth Amendment and minimum age can drink. For marijuana, through the Substance Control Act, marijuana is placed in the federal classification, mean depend on the state allows use of marijuana to legalize, or Medical, or completely illegal. In fact, alcohol is way more dangerous than marijuana, millions of people have died from alcohol, whether it be alcohol poisoning, or kidney failure, or drunk driver crashes.

In my opinion, lifting the prohibition on marijuana be beneficial or harmful to the country always depend on the one who uses it. Marijuana has harmful effects on the brain and respiratory health when user overuse it. The legalization of marijuana will help eliminate the black market. Marijuana has proven to be beneficial to health. It can help with epilepsy, migraines, anxiety, and help with cancer pains. The potential problems might this bring the US the number of accidents will most likely increase and create more deaths as usage increases, marijuana can be used nationwide, and drug abuse will increase, then other types of crimes will occur.

My question is: Do you think the health benefits of marijuana is the only reason to legalize marijuana use?

POLS 1-American Government-002

discuss how the governmental response to covid-19 illustrates what you have learned. Show not just factual knowledge on the details of government (ex.: the President has the power to order travel from China to stop as Chief of the Executive) but also show the principle of checks and balances between different levels of government (federal, state, and local), between the branches of government, and between the private sector and government. You have your text and Wall Street Journals as your main source, but other legitimate news sources are acceptable (so no RT, Iranian, Xinhua/Chinese Government news outlets, or conspiracy sites). If it is from the WSJ or a widely covered news story, there is no need to cite.

Five full pages, double spaced.
