Why is Marijuana not legal, is it unethical? 56% of the Californians support legalization, and 42% oppose it, according to a poll, conducted by CBS 5 by Survey USA, and about 3% of the people were uncertain. While reading an article titled California- Hub of “Green Rush" to Legalize Marijuana, I found that most of California would love the state to legalize weed. Not just for their own purposes, but also simply because it would make the government money if they decide to tax it. Reading this article made me ask a couple of my close friends how they feel. The first question I ask me friend Charles was, why should it be legalized? He stated "my friend will always talk about how you've never heard someone going home and beating their wife because they are high, but you have heard of people beating their wife because they were under the influence of alcohol, so why should that be legal and not marijuana". Now after listening to his comments I had to find another article that was also on the defense of this and I came across an article that listed 10 reasons why marijuana should be legal and one main point that stuck out to me was "Marijuana provides relief from pain, nausea, spasticity, and other symptoms for many individuals who have not been treated successfully with conventional medications". Talking to my friend Charles again he said that this is completely true after smoking some marijuana you literally feel nothing everything is moving at a nice pace that you can function with and your always happy. The one thing I learned about these two readings is that the writers are not afraid to say what they want to say which could be a good thing and a bad thing, but they are taking risk which is what I love to do.
