crazy protest idea!
i have the second paragraph done: Tobacco and Marijuana
First, I??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 can??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: ??One Marijuana Cigarette is equal to Five, Ten, Twenty, etc, Tobacco Cigarettes.? 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 ??high?. 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 ??high?. With Tobacco, however, once your tolerance begins to build up, it may take whole packs of Cigarettes to experience the ??high? 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. Marijuana??s active chemical, Delta-9-TetraHydraCannabinol (THC), does not. It goes in as THC, and comes out as THC. ??Why is this?? 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 doesn??t necessarily need all that THC, and it doesn??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 ??high?. 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 cigarettes?and not even feel ??high?. If that is all true, then why is Tobacco legal over cigarettes?
Comments? suggestions?
