CPSC 1100 Assignment 3 Blog Post 1: Criminology



Legalizing Marijuana


Lets face it, we all know someone that smokes marijuana and as their friends, or family member we care about their well being. Since  marijuana is not legal, people find other ways to get what they want. What we need to remember is that those ways might not be the safest ways of getting it. Once a person is hooked onto these drugs it is very difficult to get away from it and stop. So they continue to do it, even when they know it is harming them in many ways. Also, the black market is at its peak because of all the illegal sales that happen every second of the day. In this black market, people are losing their lives each and every single day and all the money that is being put into these drugs is being used by the gangs. If marijuana is at least decriminalized, people like our friends who feel the need to do it, won’t have to find illegal ways to get that drug. They are going to do it regardless of what we say to them, so the least we can do is make sure that they are doing it in the safest way possible. This way they’re still harming themselves like they were before but they’re not getting in that extra trouble they would originally get in if it isn’t decriminalized.
