the US has made alcohol and tobacco a
normal and traditional thing and we even
praise it as a whole even though it
damages you the same as any other drug
20 of the 50 states in America have
already legalized marijuana
recreationally and Minnesota is one of those
those
States I have read five articles in a
book to help credit the information I'll
be giving you today my persuasive speech
I'll be persuading you why legalizing
recreational marijuana has more
appealing f you guys have seen I'll give
you examples of reasons why recreational
marijuana can Pro improve
society and reduce usage of other
drugs debates have been around for a
long time in voting like how we do for
our presidents and our Senators and the
same thing happened over recreational
marijuana use in 2016 there was a vote
and the debate over recreational
marijuana in the article public
perceptions of arguments supporting and
opposing recreational marijuana legalization
legalization
by Emma McGinty showed the preferences
debates gave the pros and the cons of
legalizing marijuana with
63.9% agreed that marijuana would help
with government with tax revenue and
62.8 agreed that it would help prison
overcrowding they prefer these probes
over the health of
individuals this allows the citizens to
choose if this is what they want since
this is based of off of our government
system and citizens pref prefer to have
marijuana legalized for the
economy mckin further talks on about
voting and saying that people pro-
legalizing marijuana with is to reduce
person overcrowding decrease racial
disparities in Marijuana arrest increase
tax revenue and create new jobs these
reasons were found in almost every
single article that I
read uh in the article assessing the
public health impacts of legalizing
recreational Mar Cannabis used by the US
exper by Wayne Hall claimed that
marijuana is less harmful than
IDs tobacco and alcohol having an
illegal is more harmful than having it
legal because it gives people a criminal
record and it just impacts your life
more than if it was
legal Paul says these criminal laws
disproportionately affects cannabis
users and minority populations Hall
lists some benefits of legalizing for
adults like it allows thetic Market to
be eliminated as the government can
control the THC content uh heavy metals
fungi and pesticides found in current
marijuana Hulk consumes that there's
multiple ways that the government could
Legalize It Like The Government Can have
full control sell it and limit it or a
second reason is that they could allow
us to grow it and do what we want with
it like give it to others and use it how
we want to and the third reason is that
they have a no profit on it like they
could sell it and all the profits from
marijuana would just go to
Charities there's multiple reasons to
legalize it like the economy the
government tax re Revenue which was
found to be the most common benefit but
we could the in the article economic
benefits and social costs of legalizing
recreational marijuana by Jason Brown
talks about the 1940s they actually
legalized it and it helped create Goods
for the war efforts and another reason
why people say that it would be
police so the articles I read and quoted
about police and Pros in our cring
is obviously informational and it said
that but the question is how does it
impact for
police Steve Fox is a retired police
officer General who wrote his book
marijuana is safer so why are we driving
people to drink in his introduction he
WR read it and you'll agree it is time
that we stop the American people to Jo
instead we should simply and logically
allow them a super alternative that's
what they prefer he asked his fellow
workers while he was on the police force
when it was the last time they had to
fight someone who was high in marijuana
and they said that they never had to but
then he asked the same thing about
people who were drunk and they all
looked at their watch and scoffed as
they have to fight people who are drunk
at some point Fox and his workers had to
go and supervise the soccer game that
contained alcohol because it was a very
big event and he even quote in his book
that we aren't looking for people who
are smoking weed we are looking for the
ones who are drunk and being
aggressive that soccer game the had to
drunks I am not denying that marijuana
is bad for you it's a drug it's going to
be harmful to you but in the question I
asked you I asked you guys how often do
you get away with things and over half
of you say you get get away with things
over half the time well that's the same
thing for drug users so if they're going
to get away with it why don't we
legalize it and make it
safer overall marijuana is safer for the
economy but why do I say
this in the article the effects of
recreational marijuana legalization and
dispensing on mortality by Nathan Shane
claims that legalizing recreational marijana
marijana
would reduce opio mortality rates by
52% at this Pro this as in the west it
was legalized while in the East it was
still illegal and the East had booming
opid epidemic problems and the West did
not there's also no hardcore evidence
that legalizing it would actually
increase usage as in Washington usage
did increase but in Colorado there was
other reasons I will tell you about this
is that in the article legal use of
marijuana was scientific evidence
overwhelmed self perceived High Feeling
by Jason Leonard describes what
marijuana does to you
emotionally he quotes the effect of
marijuana is to improve sensory activity
and and lack of pain signals as
marijuana creates a feeling of joy
happiness and refreshment the way that
marijuana affects you is based on your
environment so if you're in a good happy
parling environment that's how the
effect of marijuana will happen to you
but if you're in a stressful environment
you would get more stress from
it marijuana overdoses make you feel
extreme panic attacks anxiety and makes
you feel out of reality but most of the
time these are shortterm and naturally
relieved and the overdoses does not kill
somebody marijuana gives people the
Mellow effect compared to alol that
gives you the aggressive effect so if
more people were taking marijuana
compared to being drunk it would be
safer for the society as there wouldn't
be so many
fights in my persued speech I gave to
you guys today I talked about
recreational marijuana having better
economy effects for society with police
government tax revenue citizen safety
and many more here is my work cited and
next time you think about marijuana
being worse remember it's sa than
America's Favorite Drug alol which we
come to normalize today I am Zoe gtis
