I,Analyzes Why Support the Legalization of Marijuana After long time discussion in the US,I support the legalization of marijuana. I think its a personal choice.If people have the right to choose to smoke and drink, then from the point of view, people have the right to choose to smoke marijuana.
First, the toxicity of cannabis is relatively weak, and there has never been any case of a fatal overdose of marijuana. Cannabis is a problem, mostly similar to cigarettes, but there are a lot of people who are mixed with tobacco when they are being smoked. If you simply say that the negative impact of cannabis on the body, it is far from tobacco. Secondly, many countries in Europe can be legally smoking marijuana. They have not seen the rising crime rates, it is said no more because people smoked marijuana are worthless or death. Third, the so-called “drug gateway”, I think it is more because people get marijuana must be through illegal means, access to the drug traffickers, of course, will be tempted to upgrade from cannabis to other more dangerous (more expensive) senior drug. If its the same as cigarettes in a wide and bright store, I dont think it will be called “drug gateway”. Fourth, if the United States can let the legalization of marijuana, it will increase a lot of tax! Fifth, smoking marijuana and drink, should be in the act after the inhalation of control, such as can not drive, can not operate heavy machinery, etc.. Marijuana after driving butt, with drunk driving should be severely punished, instead of banning marijuana. Sixth, smoking marijuana and smoking tobacco and drinking, should be strict control of minors. Conclude, it should be legalized in the future in US. I support the legalization of marijuana, but it is still a crime to use marijuana before it is not legalized. I think its time issue for US to use marijuana. II, The Legal Way of American Marijuana As its time issue for US to use marijuana.So,US is in action now. In fact, in 2008 the United States general election, in addition to the election of the president, many of the states votes there are a variety of other measures need to vote. Legalization of marijuana. The legalization of marijuana is simply divided into two categories, 1, Medical legal (by the doctors prescription to buy) similar to the drug to manage;History has been in a country with using the marijuana, but the ancient without technology to separate THC from marijuana ,THC is used as a whole to be used as a medicine rather than the modern distinction (rich in high for recreational, CBD for medicinal treatment) and THC in many studies show that medical effects.Now there are medical marijuana examples containing only CBD
2, Entertainment with legal, similar to alcohol products to manage; In fact, entertainment and medical groups are overlapping, medical marijuana in California is the best proof of the status situation. California is the earliest medical marijuana legalization, but so far no entertainment, the reason is that people are to go to the pharmacy to get medical marijuana to serve as a recreational use. Data s: Before the election, there are 17 states that allow medical marijuana, Oregon, Washington (Washington state), California, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado Maine, Rhodes, New Jersey, Cone de G There are 6 states that have been on the ballot, and there are 4 states that have the final results. Colorado No. 64 Amendments to change the state constitution allows an individual to purchase and use of leisure with marijuana, similar to the alcohol management (over the age of 21, special tax) tax revenues will be used to build schools and state funds. Washington State 502 proposed to allow individuals over 21 years of age to use and buy marijuana legalization, but the individual is still illegal in the absence of documents. 25% of the tax, directly to the management of the Department of alcohol management, it can not be sucked after driving,it will specifically define a four hydrogen marijuana (cannabis active ingredients) blood concentration. The Massachusetts The third question follows the footsteps of Rhodes Island, the legalization of medical marijuana.(huffting post once said, “the people of Massachusetts have stolen 6 years from the neighbor Rhodes Island)”
Oregon State No. 80 Measure (for these nouns all kinds of strange act, to kneel) legal and recreational use of marijuana, not by. Analyzed the detail information above ,we can see the US legalization of marijuana way has already widely spread,we do believe that US will be more and more democracy and harmony,marijuana will help more and more people ,especially in medication. III, The Research and Analysis of the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States As the legalization of marijuana way in US is going ahead,so what factors of legalization of marijuana way in US ?Please see bellow 6 factors: 1, The History of the Marijuana in United States of America A tale of American cannabis supporters, said the first president of the United States, George Washington, was very love to write a diary, he wrote in August 7, 1765, he wrote: Todays work is to separate the male and female cannabis plants, hoping not too late.“”You see, our founding fathers are smoked marijuana. He already knows about marijuana only the female line is effective.” marijuana supporters said.
In early twentieth Century, the Mexico immigrants brought marijuana into the United States, the official English name of the cannabis Marijuana came from Spanish. As Mexicos immigration to the United States inland penetration, marijuana also will spread throughout the United states. Also at the same time, the United States has set off a wave of anti cannabis. Media the marijuana described as a very powerful poison, not only smoked can instantly addictive, life could not escape the clutches, but also can change a persons nature, the smokers become a madman or a murderer.Hollywood had filmed a promotional campaign, called the marijuana crazy “(reefer madness) the film depicts the few is to be enticed to marijuana from white middle-class family in adolescents, eventually became a madman and a murderer, a lot of plot are the utmost exaggerates the can. After the release of the film in America great influence, led to many state legislation banning marijuana sales.
Conclude,history of marijuana in the United States about the same length of history with the United States, but the American people in different historical periods have different views on marijuana, cannabis legal status in the United States, it has been controversial. 2, The Political Factors in the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States The interesting is, in the American medical profession the collective no response, did not stand out to provide scientific advice, told the American public marijuana whether like media described as dangerous. Scholars in reviewing the history of this period are of the view that cannabis is actually for Mexican immigrants was made the scapegoat, the American media group of marijuana is false and anti immigrant is true. In 1930, the United States has 16 states through the anti marijuana bill, most of the United States is located in the southwest of Mexico, the United States of America. In the late sixties century is the era of American anti trend of the system like a rising wind and scudding clouds, anti war movement, the civil rights movement and anti – government movement, interweave together, the throughout the western world upside down. These organizations invariably use marijuana as a stepping stone, who joined the people to first ceiling pot, it seems to be the join gangs before drink a mouthful of chicken. Later, many of the parties recalled that this is to promote themselves to go on the streets of the fuse, because they have found themselves after smoking marijuana and not addictive, and did not become a killer, but feel very comfortable, and the government is described as a completely different situation. So the young man found the first time that the government had lied to them, and they immediately began to doubt that every word of the government, and eventually went to the opposite of the government. Conclude,political factor is the most important thing,it leads the legal factor,culture factor and any other elements. 3, The Legal Policy Factors in the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States To the original U.S. government in order to deliberately exaggerate the dangers of drug abuse, not a few years to see the consequences. This example again shows that by deception may be a temporary victory, but eventually will move up the stone to drop their own foot. Of course, the government is not easy to throw in the towel.In 1965 the United States government passed the marijuana bill, the marijuana regarded as illegal, anyone as long as was found in possession of marijuana, for the first time at least sentenced to two years in, the second sentenced to 5 years, the third time sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 10 years. In 1970, the government of the United States enacted a more stringent anti drug act, which will be listed as a level of drug abuse and heroin, much more than that of cocaine was listed as two.
In this way, it has become Americas number one drug, but it has become the worlds most widely used illegal drugs. It is estimated that 1 people in the world have ever tried marijuana, even the President Clinton and President Obama have to admit that they were smoked when they were young. They do this, not because of honesty, but in order to run. If they deny that smoked they are young, they are considered to be lying, even if they think it is an out of time. The presidents of them to final marijuana ban foreshadowed. Conclude:Why is it going to be lifted?It is the major issue of all my essay.Democracy needs legal,legal promoting the US harmony.Legalization of marijuana is the will of the US people,especially in medication.
4, The Economic Factors in the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States Although the United States government as a class of drugs, but the status of cannabis is very special, for many years has not been completely disappeared from the lives of ordinary Americans. In the US, people must have seen the kind of pipe to sell the store, store display pipe appearance colorful, but smokeless bags are very small, a can only be installed small fingernail so big a wad of tobacco, which is enough to smoke it? In fact, a discerning eye knows, the smokeless bags is smoked marijuana. It is more expensive, generally only one time to smoke a little smoke, the ordinary smokeless bags volume is too big, not appropriate.Courageous pipe shop will open sale water pipe, install smoke pot is also very small, which is pumped with marijuana, because ordinary smokeless bags regardless of how to save, there will always be half of the THC is wasted. The narghile smoking can avoid waste, but also to smoke some harmful components are filtered out, kill two birds with one stone.
If the pipe shop just hit edge ball, then the name for “high times” (high times magazine is openly advocating cannabis culture. This magazine was founded in 1974, publisher of “dandy” trying to imitate a drug, do in the field of adult publications.In order to play a joke on Playboy. The each issue of the magazine will publish a piece of printing fine hemp photo on page girl. The main content of this monthly magazine is to teach people how to grow marijuana in the home, and how to cultivate the THC content of cannabis plants, the THC content of the United States is in the help of the magazine increased year by year.
It is difficult to imagine that the U.S. government will allow a to heroin or methamphetamine magazine for the protagonist in the United States published, from here you can see that government to treat the attitude of different drugs have very big difference.
Conclude,US needs economic development,if the United States can let the legalization of marijuana, it will increase a lot of tax!If the legalization of marijuana in US,it can be promoting US economic development. 5, The Cultural Factors in the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States The presence of marijuana in the cultural field is stronger. Pattern of cannabis leaves appear often in costume design, movies and pop music are often able to hear the marijuana hints, but are in form of a nickname.Marijuana in American slang has many nicknames, such as pot, tea, dope, grass, chronic, reefer, joint, weed, etc., that are marijuana.
There are many people in the United States, which have been used in various ways to promote the benefits of cannabis. But sometimes they also like the government, deliberately exaggerating the benefits of cannabis, but the disadvantage about marijuana. For example, they often say, it will only make people become lazy and joyful, alcohol will lead to violence. But the actual situation is not as good as they described the good, the effect of drugs although there is a certain pattern, but this is not to say that the response to each drug is the same, this reaction is similar to it, and taking the mood, personality, environment, and even then, and so have a close relationship. This is like a man walked into a castle, each room has a specific item, each drug effect is only for you to open a door, if you open is a door leading to the gun chamber, you can only see the gun.As you go through the door after the first saw that the beautiful antique guns, or that is very in front of your machine gun, it depends entirely in your own visual habits, and when the mood.
Conclude,Cultural is the life blood of US people,the marijuana in the cultural field is more and more important in US,so,it should be legalization of marijuana in the United States. 6, The Environmental Protection Factor in the Movement of the Legalization of Marijuana in the United States There are a lot of cannabis supporters declared that marijuana is pure natural plant, belonging to organic products. But in fact, the United States is currently the cultivation of cannabis is not environmentally friendly, but it is the opposite, the environmental damage is very serious. According to the data released by the U.S. media, only in 2013, California police seized 329 hidden in the mountains of illegal marijuana plantations, cleared from nearly 8 tons of chemical fertilizer, 160 liters of pesticides, 244 propane tanks, 61 a car battery.Growers have also built 89 illegal dams, the laying of up to 135 kilometers of water pipes. Hemp waste water, these plantations each marijuana planting season day to 2.4 billion liters of water consumed, than all the residents of San Francisco, the water more than 50%.
To know that California is a dry state, which is a great burden.
After all,outdoor plantations which the goal is too large, it is difficult to hide live, so many people put their own closet converted into marijuana cultivation base, with high wattage light foam used as a light source, which is why American counternarcotics helicopter to install infrared cameras, if you see which houses a strange red, the master of the house, a quasi at home marijuana. According to estimates, at present each year in the United States can produce about 1 million tons of marijuana, nearly a third of is in the indoor environment seeding out. A large amount of electricity is needed for the indoor kind of cannabis, and a power that can only be consumed in 4 of the 29 strains of cannabis is equivalent to a home refrigerator. According to estimates, only in California, indoor marijuana consumption of 9% of the states residents with electricity. The National Indoor marijuana marijuana consumed a total of 7 large thermal power stations sent out of power, can be used for the daily lives of 1700000 residents. If converted into a greenhouse gas, the United States of this 10000 tons of marijuana is equivalent to the environment released 46000000 tons of carbon dioxide. Of course, the United States marijuana supporters believe that these shortcomings because of marijuana in use, if the legalization of marijuana, the above problems will be solved. In other words, they believe that all of the problems of cannabis are derived from unreasonable conviction that the United States of Americas drug laws are the culprits. They have also declared that the biggest victim of the legalization of marijuana is the winery, and if you smoke a few cigarettes can be “high”, who also go to buy expensive and bulging belly of the beer ?

They are historical factor, political factor, legal factor, cultural factor, economic factor, environmental factor, etc..Finally, we conclude that the presence of marijuana has its rationality, it should have its legitimacy, we should make full use of the favorable positive factors cannabis contribute to mankind, but exclude marijuana irrational factors, the protection of human health and social harmony.Looking at the future,what will the US legalization of marijuana look like?And what will happen after the US legalization of marijuana?But we do believe the US will more and more harmony and democracy in the future. ;, [-Z]
