Hi, my name is Kathy Vo and I’m from Houston, TX. I have 1 1/2 sister, I’m one of the first in my family that is going to UT. I have never smoke marijuana. My parent are quiet protective so I don’t hang with crow that smoke pot, so I might have the traditional thought of how thing are bad or not normal. So my only engagement to the topic is the news and classmate using them. To be honest I might be a little judgmental, but I can be sway with reason.
Doing anything start with temptation and even though it look cool to some, not all agree. Marijuana is not only use for getting so call high, but also a type of medicine. Like many green, people are sometime not even aware that they use the green leaf as they only take drug base on what the doctor has prescribe. They mainly focus on the effect and what is does. The only time that we look at the ingredient is when we are allergic or on a diet. Yet the 7 pointed leaf has been proven to help cure or slow down different diseases and problem , such as “glaucoma, epileptic seizures, and etc.”

This is cure not something to overdose with.
With the legalization of marijuana, irresponsible legal age people can misuse the substance and over dose and cause major red flag in society. Leaving people to think the drug is not suited for legalization. With that being said researcher and young open minded people are becoming aware of the perks than the cons. One of the biggest perks that I can think of is the solution to the problem near the border. The legalization could make “money for education instead of for gangsta”, which enhance my thought on why I believe that the legalization of marijuana is a good thing.
Like the video above they made a great point on why shouldn’t the plant be legal, if alcohol is proven to be worst than marijuana. To me the subject can be argue for both side and it is all base on the side you look at it that make it a mention able topic among American and big news station like the one above. Please comment and tell me what you think ,and if you agree or disagree with the topic base on my point of view of the subject. Thank you for reading this blog.
The legalization of marijuana is greatly known for a controversy. People will argue against it or not against it because as you mentioned, it’s the way they look at it. I agree that prescribed marijuana is a cure but in a sense should only be used for those who actually need it.
