My topic
is: will the legalization of cannabis help
out the United States economy? I for one believe that it will, many people are scared to
legalize marijuana, they
think that everyone will use it to get high, when
that is just one thing that the drug has
to offer. Sure it can make you really happy or even a little bit wild, but that can be prevented if we allowed our states to have
the power over it. There are many people now days that will support the growth of legalization of this natural
plant, but the majority who do not support it does not
know of the wonderful oppritunities that it can offer. For example it does have
the recreational use but it has great medical use. Our economy is in sort of a downfall, if
cannabis was legalized then it could create jobs, and/or careers in
farming. Farmers could get there fields greener than
ever! Scientists have proved that the use of this drug is non-harmful, and that it can actually be in some ways healthy. I understand that you think that just because I
am young that you would think that, that is the only
reason that I am trying to legalize it. You are mistaken, I want to see our
country come back, I want to see industries rise
up and create jobs for the jobless. I know about the endless possibilities that await if we just give this a chance. If you do not know
much about this topic then do your own search on cannabis you will find out
that it is a very big topic in the public media.
Bring joy back to America, and most importantly fight to be free to make your own choices, and fight for the generations to
come freedoms.
