crazy protest idea!

[P.E.N.G.U.I.N.]

i've got my opening statements....here ya go


Marijuana

In our society there are many forms of Crime. From the Speeder caught unawares while he was simply dozing off on a long, boring drive, to the Mass Murderer sitting in his basement killing small animals in some sort of Sadistic Ritual. Most of our Laws in this glorious United States of America have been made with the good of the people in mind. Some of them, however, arenâ??t so Justly conceived.

Most of our Laws in this glorious United States of America have been made with the good of the people in mind. Some of them, however, arenâ??t so Justly conceived. I do not wish to dive into every one of These laws; I do wish, however, to have a word with you all about our current Prohibition on Marijuana. There is a great deal separated opinion on Marijuana in the U.S. of A. A person will either believe that it is a Horrible drug and should never be used by any person for any reason; or they will believe that it has some good medical and industrial uses, as well as some very good recreational ones. There are rarely any people who donâ??t have a solid opinion on the Cannabis plant. I am certainly not one of those people. Marijuana has been proven to be less harmful to your body than Alcohol, Tobacco, and most Prescription drugs. It can also be used to aid our Industry and our Environment a great deal.

i have the second paragraph done: Tobacco and Marijuana

First, Iâ??d like to speak with you regarding Marijuana and Tobacco. Tobacco is one of the only Two legal and morally acceptable recreational drugs in our society. It also contributes to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans every single year. 1,200 people are going to die today in our glorious Nation because they canâ??t resist to have one more smoke. Why is this allowed? For what possible reason could we have to keep Tobacco legal? That is a discussion for a later time. However, knowing that Tobacco is extremely dangerous is imperative in order to understand my argument. Tobacco use, over time, causes many forms of Cancer as well as Respiratory and Circulatory troubles. Marijuana, while it may still cause these Troubles, does not cause These adverse effects as efficiently as Tobacco. Some of you may have heard the phrase: â??One Marijuana Cigarette is equal to Five, Ten, Twenty, etc, Tobacco Cigarettes.â?� This is only a Half-Truth. While the amount of Tar in a typical Joint is much higher than that of a typical Cigarette, there are other Factors to consider. One: When the Marijuana is good quality, only One joint is typically needed to get â??highâ?�. Even some experienced users with an Extremely high tolerance can sometimes be surprised when they get some High Quality bud. At most, with Low quality Marijuana, a user would smoke Five Joints (.5-1 gram of Marijuana in each) to get a good â??highâ?�. With Tobacco, however, once your tolerance begins to build up, it may take whole packs of Cigarettes to experience the â??highâ?� of tobacco (Dizziness, Hyperactivity, etc.). Not only that, but the active chemical in Tobacco (Nicotine), broken down into an extremely Volatile chemical in the series of chemical reactions that gets you High. Marijuanaâ??s active chemical, Delta-9-TetraHydraCannabinol (THC), does not. It goes in as THC, and comes out as THC. â??Why is this?â?� you might ask. Our bodies have a special part of the nervous system called the Cannabinoid system. This system is responsible for Calming down nerves that might be having some problems. And guess what? Our bodies produce THC naturally in order to do that. Using Marijuana is just supplementing your own bodies with more of it. Your body doesnâ??t necessarily need all that THC, and it doesnâ??t want to simply store it for later, so it Decides to use it all as fast as it possibly can. This is what causes the feelings of Euphoria and whatever other pleasant feelings are associated with a Good â??highâ?�. Therefore, although the Tar in One joint is greater than the Tar in one Cigarette, a Marijuana user will stop after just One to Five Joints, but a Tobacco addict may smoke a pack of cigarettesâ?¦and not even feel â??highâ?�. If that is all true, then why is Tobacco legal over cigarettes?


Comments? suggestions?

Well, in the first paragraph i swear you repeated the first part twice. Also say something like why is it a crime to get high? and tobacco also causes heart disease and lung disease. Say how it takes 80 pounds to overdose on weed. How nobody has ever died from smoking pot. I'll think of more along the way...

[P.E.N.G.U.I.N.]

dude...just wait until i'm done with it. i'm done with Alcohol now. here ya go:

Second, I would like to speak with you regarding Alcohol and Marijuana. Alcohol is the other One of the Sacred Two legal recreational drugs in our society. Why is this, when alcohol also contributes to so many deaths a year? Alcohol acts directly on the Nervous System, altering Nerve signals of all types. Alcohol causes nice people to be Angry, and Angry people to be Murderous. It makes even the Best Driver in the World look like a First Grader with a Death Wish. Sometimes, people get so lost in the Addiction they drink Ungodly amounts of alcohol on a daily basis. Much of My family is dead or dying because of this Evil chemical. Over time, Alcohol use begins to permanently alter our Nervous system. It also wreaks Havoc on our Liver and our Circulatory systems, causing diseases such as Hepatitis, Cirrhosis of the Liver, and Hypertension. One last thing about Alcohol is that it is Quite possible, and Quite easy to Overdose on it. A little too much, and the alcohol permanently shuts down your Nervous system. A little less than that, and you spend Hours nearly paralyzed, running the risk of vomiting, but since your body hardly able to move, it gets stuck in your throat for you to Choke on. There is not one Single reported case where a Human has overdosed on Marijuana. The amount of THC needed to kill 50 out of 100 mice in a clinical study, when administered to them all at once, can not be practically administered to a Human unless the Intent was to kill them. It takes about a Gram of Pure THC in your blood at the most to get High. Anything past that is not only Pointless, but can cause Panic Attacks because it Greatly alters your perceptions. It would take about a Kilogram of Pure THC in your blood to kill you. Generously assuming that Marijuana is 20% THC in weight, and that smoking it gets about 50% of that into your bloodstream, you would have to Smoke 22 pounds, roughly, to kill you. And all of that must be smoked in such a small amount of time that your body doesnâ??t finish using up any of the THC until the last bit of those 22 pounds gets through your lungs. That is a massive amount of marijuana, especially considering that someone would have to be pretty much breathing nothing but Smoke for 2 hours to even get an eighth of the way there. A person would die of Smoke Inhalation first. I couldnâ??t tell you how much Alcohol youâ??d need to Overdose because itâ??s very dependant on Weight and Liver Capacity, but I Can tell you that it is Very practical and easy to reach. And if you didnâ??t reach it, youâ??d have to deal with a Killer Hangover the next time you wake up, and I can tell you from Experience that Marijuana never causes any sort of hangover. Paranoia, maybe, but never a hangover. If all This is true, why isnâ??t Marijuana Legal, but Alcohol is?
