Land use

throughout the centuries, and one of the most popular is the legalization of marijuana. For decades, this has been a topic of debate all around the world. In fact, regulations on the use of this drug started in the 16th century. Some places in the United States have legalized marijuana for recreational or medicinal use. Others feel like it should be legalized with no restrictions. I, on the other hand, propose that marijuana be legalized with restrictions because it is needed for medicinal…

November, Proposition 64, otherwise known as the Adult Use of Marijuana Act. This act aims to make it so that the drug commonly referred to as marijuana becomes legal for recreational use in addition to its already legal medical uses. The act would also add some health and safety measures to help regulate the usage of recreational marijuana. Currently, marijuana is only legally allowed for medical use. The Adult Use of Marijuana Act would legalise the use, possession,…

workplace drug testing is up to 277% from 1987 and an in accurate and unproven ways to stop the use of drugs. And claims of billions of dollars is lost because failed drug testing due to guess work and not real evidence. Drug testing is not work related because they do not measure whether the job is impaired or not. A drug test only states that a substance was used not stating whether it is a frequent use or not. And sometimes drug tests fail to determine whether the drug taken is legal or…

where a natural plant is illegal even though the plant has thousands of solutions to many world problems we have, such as, deforestation,pollution, fossil fuels, etc. The hemp plant has been around for ages and the U.S government is aware of all the uses it has but seems to ignore them due to its relation with marijuana. The United States should legalize the hemp plant and solve the current economic/environmental issues the united states have. All over the world, countries are legalizing the…

it just seems logical. Tell me people, how can a drug that have caused zero deaths, helps the sick and old be illegal, whereas addiction ridden drugs and alcohol cause thousands of deaths and overdoses but are legal to use!? What's so wrong about Marijuana? Is it that dangerous that people are jailed and fined huge sums of money for the possession of it?…

show cases the zero energy bill concept. Since the community produced more energy than it consumed the extra energy created is recycled back into the city wherever needed. Japan relies on renewable resources such as solar power and wind turbines to use less energy for lighting, heating, and cooling their homes. As a result of WWll supplies became limited, therefore electric appliance makers made devices powered by the resources provided such as solar energy. Another example of the governments’…

For the federal side of this controversial issues, there are not mainly opinion based, but rather that due to certain laws that have been passed and looking towards specific parts of the constitution, the federal government should delegate marijuana within the United States. The first big point that is used to support the federal side is the Controlled Substance Act of 1970. This was passed by the 91st Congress in 1970 in order to help further research of drugs and help reduce drug abuse…

coined for the battle against illegal substance use that began in the 1970’s. People believe that this is the only solution to eradicate the ever-growing problem of drug use and addiction, but the reality is that the war on drugs is not working. It has failed the people of the United States. This war has led to an increase in the incarceration rate, failed policies, and the death of many Americans. The United States is known internationally as “the land of the free”. It is therefore ironic…

I am a student at Sherwood Middle School. In Sherwood Oregon. Our class is debating on whether or not child soldiers should be given amnesty. Many child soldiers are drugged and forced into war. Kids who have been given amnesty have the chance to redeem themselves. Yes there are some child soldiers who have no remorse after war. But these kids should not be prosecuted. There are 300,000 child soldiers around the world. These kids should be reprieved. Many of these kids are forced into war.…

How can a natural thing, be prohibited not only from the use of good; but from the freedom of it’s natural state. Marijuana as many of people know is a herb that is grown just like other plants. Although it is like other plants, it differs in one way; it’s illegal. Marijuana is not legal to have, if caught with it you will land in jail. Which in my opinion is insane. People that get caught with marijuana could have a longer sentence than a person that has committed a crime like raping, or even…
