.... won 65% of the vote. It says that Arizona's doctors can prescribe marijuana, heroin, and LSD for patients when there is "medicinal value" (California 62).

.... will die probably is not going to kill another person. Clearly, the issue of deterrence should be the ultimate goal of society, but the death of an innocent man, the cost of appeals, and the ineffectiveness of the death penalty as a deterrent are clearly more significant than the possible benefits of the death penalty.

.... a form of deterrence does not work, as there are no fewer murders on a per- capita basis in countries or states that do have it, then those that do not. In order for capital punishment to work as a deterrence, certain events must be present in the criminal's mind prior to committing the offence.

But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions. Dete .....

Several years later in Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153 (1976), the Supreme Court decided, with efficient controls, the death penalty could be used constitutionally. Yet, even with these various controls, the system does not effectively eliminate racial bias. According to Professor Steven Goldstein of Florida State University, "There are so many discretionary stages: whether the prosecutor decides to seek the death penalty, whether the jury reco .....

.... can be a drug of “necessity” in the treatment of glaucoma, cancer, AIDS, and multiple sclerosis.
