.... to the problem and our responses to the attacks against the legalization of marijuana. Although, legalization will increase use of the drug. However, many supporters of continuing the illegalization of drugs believe that by legalizing drugs they will become more accessible and use will therefore increase. They base this argument on past experiment dealing with alcohol prohibition. After the end of prohibition with the 21st amendment, alcohol consumption doubled while prohibition decreased use by 50 percent(Light). They also cite that use of marijuana peaked in 1979 when there was a decriminalization of drug use by eleven states. When researching to f .....

.... killed at least thirty-four people, was charged for only three under his own defense- and in fact, he was commended by the judge for his own defense. He was put to death. With the combination of a very powerful media and a society fascinated with gruesome, sadistic crimes, modern serial killers have been put in the spotlight. We are enraptured with serial killers so much, that we pay seven dollars to go see a movie where everyone except the bad guys gets strangled, mutilated, or shot- and enjoy it in some sick way. The med .....

.... the leaves of the coca plant (Erythroxylum coca), a tropical shrub commonly found wild in Peru and Bolivia and cultivated in many other countries. For centuries South American Indians have chewed the coca leaves for pleasure and to help them withstand strenuous working conditions, hunger, and thirst. The cocaine in the leaves produces local anesthesia of the mouth and stomach. Cocaine is a dangerous, habit-forming drug. It is classified as an alkaloid compound.

.... or lack of medical assistance. Even many overdoses can be attributed to it's illegality. An addict never knows the potency of the heroin they recievesince the types being sold change often. An addict may inject the same type of heroin for a bit and then get a much stronger kind and consequently overdose. pneumonia and malnutririon arises from the frantic lifestyle of the junkie, who does anything for money to support their habit and does little to care for themselves, which could be prevented if heroin was legal because it would be far cheaper. Lastly, AIDS is aconsequence of sharing dirty needles, as is hepatitis and tetanus, which could also be prevent .....

.... strict camp. I have personally talked to some people who had gotten out of prison a few weeks prior to our talk, and they where telling me how they learned how to make certain crafts, learn how to sow, and many other things. To me, that sounds awfully like a camp I was made to go to when I was young. Some people in prison even have television, others treat it like a hotel. This disgusts me! This doesn't sound at all like a prison. A prison is a place where people are supposed to be punished. Not treated like guests. There is a fin line between being punished and being over punished however. I'm not saying that each person should be beaten daily, or made .....

.... responses with how the accused pleas, if it is "not guilty", the court clerk asks how the Crown lawyer wishes to proceed and so forth. However, this is not so in the Ontario Supreme Court (Trial Division), though similar in methodical procedures, the court cases are longer and much more time is spent on each individual part of the case, from presenting the evidence to cross-examination of the witness, this is because of the amount of information involved. The general atmosphere and behaviour in the Provincial Courtrooms were general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, ev .....

.... three most common death penalties are the gas chamber,lethal injection,and the electric chair. Capital punishment has become an increasingly controversial issue over many decades. The problem lies between, is the death penalty being accepted in murder cases or ruled out completely. While some people feel that Capital Punishment will not discourage crime, Capital punishment should be legalized in all states, because it is morally just and it will deter crime. The many opponents of capital punishment who are against it feel that the death penalty is not a deterrent and that it is barbariaertic of the past. It has no place in a civilized society today.
