Arguments for and against drug prohibition

not been the case for recreational drugs. The laws currently in place restrict the use of recreational drugs. In this paper, there will be a discussion about what drug liberalization is, what liberalization would look like in Canada, the pros, and cons of this change, and what policies are currently in place that affects recreational drug use. For the sake of understanding,…

have been legalizing the use of marijuana under specific modifications, the most popular being medicinal use only. Marijuana is a plant based drug consisting of shredded leaves from the hemp plant and can by consumed through smoking. More and more states are beginning to legalize marijuana due to the penalties of possessing marijuana being worse than the drugs actual effects and as they come across more benefits that will bring to many aspects of The United States. However, some might argue it…

they are illegal. Gun control is not going to stop this. Prohibition did not stop criminals from making and selling liquor, so how will gun control laws stop violence?” This is a very valid point. During prohibition, criminals were not going to give into the law. They found ways to manufacture and sell liquor. For example, moonshining really started during this time and has still been a problem in the Appalachian mountains. If prohibition led to more problems, what will happen if gun control…

plants were grown. This herbal plant should be legalized in the United States because it will save taxpayers money, reduce drug related crimes, and relieve suffering of many terminally ill people. The legalization of marijuana has been debated within the American Society and Government. Decriminalizing marijuana would financially and medically improve America’s 75-year prohibition that’s restricted recreational use and has cost the…

cannot rely on personal moral opinions. Reasons that support a moral belief should be rational and consistent. Moral positions are only valid if they come from Dworkin’s qualifications of what is justifiable, (Dyzenhaus, Dworkin, 394). Dworkin’s argument is a resolution to the issues that surrounds a society who allow unjust acts based on a consensus of the reasonable men.

form of a new British Bill of Rights. One can imagine the uncertainty it created amongst politics, courts, public authorities and practitioners who deal with human rights issues on a daily basis. Therefore, the following chapter will analyse arguments against and in favour of repealing the HRA in order to be able to conclude whether criticisms…

we wouldn’t have the worry of these things. “One of the key arguments for decriminalization of personal cannabis use is that the recording of a criminal conviction for such offences is a penalty that is out of proportion to the nature of the offence.”(JPHP Vol.21 No.2) Many of the states that have decriminalized it have shown decreases in many drug related tickets and arrests. “In the 1990s Marijuana was involved in over half the drug related arrests in the U.S.” (Peter Reuter) If it were to…

“Legally Blind: Why I’m Against Legalizing Marijuana” was written to persuade readers why legalizing marijuana would be a bad thing, using strange arguments such as the economy boost would actually be a bad…

One of the arguments is that marijuana users could blame a positive drug-test on hemp-seed oil or other hemp product that they may have used. When in all reality the conflict between hemp food consumption and the workforce drug testing cannot be mixed between the two and is not common. THC levels in hemp oil and seeds are maintained below 5 and 2 parts per million, if the drug testing was followed by the federal procedure that if any urine sample…

=Trust is a virtue that needs to be earned by all groups and peoples including governments and more often, it is also should be expected that people have a sense of skepticism tied to any trust to protect themselves. The American government is an example of a group that needs to earn the trust of its citizens who grant it legitimacy and the right to rule.
