An economy is an area of the production, distribution, or trade, and consumption of goods or services by different agents in a certain area (Economy). Some Americans may believe that the United States economy is falling or has failed.

Legalizing marijuana would bring lots of income to the government, stop the waste of…

Marijuana did not reach public awareness as a recreational drug until the early 1900’s and it’s only been illegal for 1% of its existence after the law was passed in 1937.

It therefore stood to reason if one reduces negative polypharmacy use, where medications dispensed have little to no added therapeutic value but rather precipitate additional symptoms, we can decrease the numbers of…

Some of the dangers of marijuana would be that some people claim you can get addicted to marijuana and that smoking it is dangerous to the user. It is true people use…
