Letter for my class about legalization.

Well my teacher wanted to know our view on herb, so she had us write a short letter like thing to share our views. I used the word marijuana because we couldnt use bud/herb/skunk or any slang terms.

:pimp:

Dear Class,

As we all know marijuana is an amazing part of most if not all of our lives, not only in this city, but all around the country, and all around the world. Police are spending millions and millions of dollars to stop the "harmful" use of marijuana. Yet not ONE study has proven marijuana to be lethal, nor has it proven any long term effects, like cancer. Marijuana doesn't make you hallucinate in moderated quantities, so why is it illegal? Because politicians are too ignorant past the legallity issues. If this country wants to make more money because we are majorily in-debt, why not sell marijuana in stores? It would be able to be taxable along with everything else that is sold. Politicians hate to be wrong, and is the only reason I can see why we will not legalize any amount here in the US. It is true marijuana can/does kill braincells, but its not like they kill every single braincell that you have. I'm tired of seeing comercials against marijuana, making it seem like if you smoke it once your a bum. This is completely not true! I know personally many CEOs of companys, that habitually smoke marijuana. Its not an unusual thing. Why can't people just enjoy what they enjoy?

shit is deep man...:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cannabis is/was made illegal to protect the logging industry and the paper industry and make sure petrochemical and plastics industries were all fine. They used a racist term "Marijuana" in relation to Mexican workers - nice touch.

Hemp can produce 4x the amount of material compared with trees grown for wood/paper - 4x the amount!!.

The seeds are a brilliant food - unique in that they supply a ton of essential amino acids.

Do I need to go on?

Pull that one out of the bag and see what teacher says ;)

Ah screw it, when you have the time read this book (its free to read on the web)

Jack Herer - Chapters

Oh and watch this :)

The History of Marijuana - Woody Harrelson - Google Video

Cannabis doesnt kill brain cells.

That's one of the biggest mis-conceptions.

The only cells it kills are cancerous, and also, it may help healthy cells live longer, promoting longer life, and also a more active brain.

And also put in to the letter how us cannabis smokers suffer racism every day, because people are too ingorant to do any research. We're discriminated against, and looked down upon, when infact, we are more important to this world than all of those ignorant non smoking morons put together.

Why Couldnt you use Cannabis?. It's not Slang!!. It the plants Name. Marijuana
is a Racist name and should'nt be used by Users..

My Two

Peace Out D

Indeed, you tell that woman you dont belive in using a racist word to describe your fellow cannabis users.

Put in their somewhere that "Marijuana" is racist.

I think that would be a great idea given the term started in the states and we know why!. Ant Mexican bullshit so tell her where it came from and be proud...ITs Cannabis

I edited it for you, some of your grammar was off and your diction could have been better;) Not knocking you, just helping a brotha out!

"Dear Class,

As we all know cannabis is an amazing part of most, if not all, of our lives. It is found not only within this city, but throughout the country, and indeed, throughout the entire world. Law enforcement entities are spending millions upon millions of dollars to stop the "harmful" use of cannabis. However, not one study has successfully demonstrated the immediate lethality of cannabis. Nor have any studies viably proven any longer term effects, namely cancer and brain damage, among other debilitating illnesses. Such information begs the question: why is cannabis illegal? Political missteps may largely be to blame. I propose the legalization of cannabis for the following reasons:

[lay out your reasons and expound upon them, I can't rewrite the entire thing ;)]

You have a great teacher if her or she lets your write about such things.
