Marijuana Time!!

In the CQ researcher article marijuana laws, it had some compelling arguments. I thought the article against marijuana was more convincing. They start by telling you a fact that you may have already known or may have not. The article also stated facts that were more prone to stick to your memory. For example they state how the use of marijuana can reduce memory, increase the risk of schizophrenia, generate paranoia, anxiety and panic attacks and also cases breathing problems. Reading this article alone made me feel bad for people who smoke marijuana. The reason is because there are some people who unwillingly suffer from schizophrenia, and for someone to get it because they choose not to stop smoking? Well that’s just dumb if u ask me. A police officer once caught me smoking marijuana and he being the nice officer that he was didn’t give me a ticket he gave me a paper with facts of what marijuana would do to you and from that moment on I never smoked again. Reading this article brought me back to reality on how many people smoke and it disappoints me because there are better things to do with your time. The second article however caught my attention with the story of the son who saw his father get killed. Just to find out that he only had less than three grams of marijuana. The second article however has some true facts. For example how many people are in jail for the simple possession of marijuana without the intent to sell. I believe the police should go to some extent but not to that extreme. This article made the second article stronger because this article didn’t have facts that stood out or caught my attention. However both articles had strong points and were easy to understand.
