Malihuana Legislation

Decent Essays
If marihuana legislation is approved, it would be harder for people younger than 18 to get it, since there will be loads of restrictions for it.
People will get work with the production, and the sale of it.
Government will get a lot of money with taxes.
Drug dealers will start to lose their business, and people who are “addicted” to it will be able to break the habit, since there will be a lot of control for buying it. Now that we kind of understand why some people think it could be better for the country to have this legislation, let’s see, why some people do not want it?

    Out of three reasons, I agree with one of the appeals and disagree with two appeals. I agree that there will be no more drug dealer because after drug being free and legalize because there will be no work for pushers. For example, Pushers would have contacted with lots of people who are addicted to drug and those people would come to pushers and buy the drugs from them. Now, since the drugs are free and legalize, pusher will lose the people whom they have had contact with because they will not come to them and buy the drugs since it is free. Secondly, I disagree with the second appeal which says “the mob will lose the main source of its income” because for them drugs are not only the work they do.…
