March Hare

Considered one of the most brutal shows of barbarism in the United States, the infamous Bataan Death March of World War II devastated the lives of thousands of Filipinos and Americans alike, completely and utterly blind in its disregard for human life and relentless in its desire for bloodshed. Mere days before the exhausting journey began, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii simultaneously as they began their vicious attack on the Philippines. With the Japanese extremely close to capturing…

The “gateway” drug is not as bad as people make of it. Marijuana is not socially acceptable by the society, people believe it is harmful to the body and that it has no help for anyone. The drug also has health benefits, but people still do not want the drug legalized. Since they have known about the drug, there has not been any scientifically proven facts that it is physically addicting. The only way it hurts the body is if it is abused by the person, but it is the same way with alcohol, or even…

The Blunt Truth In Rick James’s song “Mary Jane”, he sings "And when I 'm feeling low, she comes as no surprise / Turns me on with her love, takes me to paradise." This song teaches us about how cannabis can get us from a state of low to a state of high. The government forbids the usage of cannabis, but permits the usage of alcohol. On one side of the legal spectrum, nearly 88,000 people died from drunk driving every year. Including secondhand smoke from cigarettes, at least 480,000 people…

The debate on the liberalization of marijuana, considered by most a soft drug, is on the agenda in several countries worldwide. If for decades, the one for legalization were viewed as a poorly tolerated and deviant minority, in recent times it seems that this hypothesis has found new and influential supporters, if only because of the failure of prohibitionist policies adopted in the majority of countries. This is precisely the new element in the debate on legalization, as it is undergoing a…

Legalization of marijuana has been a controversial issue in the U.S. for several years. The people vs. the federal government or the state vs the federal government are just some of the main debates over its legalization. In the past marijuana was used as medicine until the 1937 when a new tax fee led to end of its use. In 1972 marijuna was placed in schedule I of the controlled Substance Act , meaning it has a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the…

Should marijuana be decriminalized? Marijuana is not a harmless drug. Just like tobacco, marijuana can be damaging to the lungs. Yes, it can be beneficial in the case of a serious medical condition; however, decriminalizing cannabis allows anyone to exploit it for recreational purposes, including our susceptible youth. Having marijuana available to our youth may make them open to experience harder drugs (Sambrouck). I believe that having cannabis legally available for those with medical…

The damage of legalizing marijuana will outweigh the benefits of its use. In this day and age, we as humans suffer already from the vices and sin that is pushed upon us. Recently, many states have begun the process of legalizing (thus making extremely accessible) yet another vice that many struggle with, marijuana. At this point there are currently 23 states with marijuana legal in some form and even for states where it is legal for recreational use. This country was founded on Christian values…
