The Need To Legalize Pot
.... Randall, president of the Alliance for the Cannabis Therapeutics, a
Washington-based patients' right group, says as many as five-million sick
Americans might benefit from the legal access to marijuana. Marijuana has been
found to: relieve nausea and stimulate appetite in people with cancer and AIDS,
control muscle spasms among people with multiple sclerosis and other

U.S. Scourge Spreads South Of The Border
.... and Cocaine.”
I recently visited the neighbor city of Tijuana and rode in a Tijuana
taxi and was immediately met with a taxi driver named Jose, a Tijuana taxi
driver in an open-necked, baby blue silk shirt, he sizes up the tourists
trudging off the footbridge from the United States. “Taxi, sir? You want
pharmacy? I get you a good pharmacy,” he urges, stepping from a line of
beckoning taxi drivers in big belts and straw cowboy hats. “Good prices! No
prescriptions!” Do I look like I want drugs?! I di .....

Weed
.... that this
"explosion" has been characteristic only of the contemporary scene. The plant
has been grown for fiber and as a source of medicine for several thousand years,
but until 500~ AD its use as a mind-altering drug was almost solely confined in
India. The drug and its uses reached the Middle and Near East during the next
several centuries, and then moved across North Africa, appeared in Latin America
and the Caribbean, and finally entered the United States in the early decades of

Why Drugs Should Be Legalized!!!!
.... those on the previously legal alcohol which
led to the blinding or death of many consumers. Finally in 1933, politicians
buckled and repealed the 18th Amendment. The Prohibition attempt of the early
20th century provides the perfect historical support for the decriminalization
of drugs.
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species
of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that
it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and mak .....

Why I Think They Should Legalize Pot
.... that's legal.
You are more in control of your senses than when trashed, and not nearly as
violent. Nobody has ever died directly from getting stoned. Smoking a joint is
not as likely to cause cancer as a cigarette, and weed isn't addictive. In fact,
there are very little bad sides to smoking marijuana. It doesn't even burn your
throat as much when you smoke it in a bong as do cigarettes.
Thirdly, if the price of pot went down quite a bit, then there would be
no crime because of it. Pot would be ver .....

Capital Punishment Deters Murder, And Is Just Retribution
.... Most supporters of the death penalty feel that offenders should be
punished for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the
crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making examples
out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to deter the crime
rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant.
According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight
murders are deterred for each execution that is carried out in the U.S.A. He
goes o .....

The Death Penalty Should Continue To Be Used In The U.S.
.... not inhumane but rather fair and it's
continued use will end up helping out society in many ways.
Many people who oppose the death penalty say it is inhumane and unfair.
These people who oppose it say that all human life has the right to be respected.
All human life does have the right to be respected but there is a point when
that right can be lost, if someone takes the life of another human being then
they have given up that right. Another claim the opposers to the death penalty
make is that the death .....

second conviction, not a first, and will receive the stiffer penalty for second
offenses.

Should Gambling Be Legalized?

a gambler bet, stay longer, and loose as much money as possible.

Speeding Is A Dead End

not many cars on the road encouraging me to drive faster. I had just gone
through a yellow light at a major intersection and when I looked straight ahead,
there was not a car in sight. Due to the fact that the road was “all mine”, I
was encouraged to travel twenty-five kilometers over the speed limit.
Admittedly, I almost heard my mother telling me to slow down. After my .....
