The controversies of marijuana are overwhelming and there are so many instances where marijuana appears to be a brutal drug. Thus people cannot control their actions after being hypnotized by marijuana. Recently a viral video displayed a mother allowing her young daughter to smoke marijuana. It was embarrassing to see this mother because she is putting her child’s life in danger. As a result of this absurd video the debate between Nancy Grace and 2Chainz triggered. The debate was over why 2Chainz supports the legalization of marijuana. Grace also argued that many people looked up to 2chainz and his stance on marijuana was a negative influence on the youth of our society.

Further 2Chainz is an intellectual person and he graduated from Alabama State University with a 4.0 GPA. His credentials are essential because Grace argues that he should have an alternative stance on marijuana based on his intellect. Grace also says, “why are you an advocate for marijuana? When you hear stories of what I’m talking about”. Grace is disgusted as well as confused because she believes someone as intelligent as 2Chainz should understand what pot can do to people. 2Chainz response to Grace is that “alcohol was involved” in the video where the mother allowed her daughter to smoke. He is trying to convey that alcohol played a significant factor in the mother’s ridiculous actions toward her daughter. 2Chainz further adds “you cannot put an umbrella on the whole community on the instances you gave”. 2Chainz thinks people are stereotyping the community of marijuana and that these absurd events are only triggered by marijuana. However Grace explains that she is not “defining” the community. She is only trying to prove that marijuana ends up in senseless stories like in the mother daughter situation. Besides marijuana being in these senseless stories, she states marijuana can have a bad influence on the future of our world.

Although Grace had portrayed a great argument concerning the effects on marijuana toward people, 2Chainz had some points as well. 2Chainz highlights that he has two kids and how much he cares for them. He also states “It’s about governing your own household. It’s about taking care of your own property. It’s about having some kind of structure in anything, any drug.” He is employing that people need to set regulations and people need to be more responsible. Moreover 2Chainz comments that the legalization of marijuana would lead to the cut of “overcrowding of prisons, as far as putting it on our criminal record to prevent us from getting loans, to prevent us from getting homes”. It is not fair for people who have been charged with marijuana because they are hindered financially. 2Chainz asserts that he used to sell pot in high school to provide for his family and he sacrificed everything for them. He understands what these people had to go through and he thinks people who are in jail for marijuana deserve a second chance. Additionally he believes that several states would be able to improve their infrastructure by legalizing pot because there will be extra funds from marijuana.

All in all this debate broadened my aspect on marijuana in terms of why people would sell marijuana. People will do anything to have food on their tables for their families. Grace and 2Chaniz discuss both sides of marijuana. It is impossible to come to a conclusion concerning marijuana because there are abundant amount of controversies that surround it.
