Legalization Of Marijuana
<view this essay>.... consumed in India to
the highly potent hashish. The following consists of pure cannabis resin.
Marijuana is not a narcotic and is not mentally or physically
addicting drug. One can use mild cannabis preparations such as marijuana
in small amounts for years without physical or mental deterioration.
Marijuana serves to diminish inhibitions and acts as an euphoriant. Only
once in a while will it produce actual hallucinations. More potent
preparations of cannabis such as hashish can induce
psychedelic experiences identical to those observed after ingestion of
potent hallucinogens such as LSD.
Some who smoke marijuana feel no effects; others feel .....

Capital Punishment
<view this essay>.... punishment completely. One reason why the death penalty is
so controversial is because many feel its cruel ways of punishment are
unnecessary, even if the crime is murder, whether it be premeditated or
unintentional. They believe there are other ways of condemnation besides
execution. In the case of an unintentional death feelings are that the
perpetrators should have the right to live, but have to face each day with
the fact that they killed someone weighing on their conscience. On the
other hand, such as with a voluntary murder, the ideas are somewhat similar.
They believe the murderer doesnt deserve the death penalty. Chances are
if a person is insane enoug .....

Speeding Is A Dead End
<view this essay>.... limit because one day I
will unexpectedly have to pay the price. Not only could I kill myself by
speeding, I could kill other innocent people that could have been involved.
Moreover, not only did I not comply with the speed limit, I did not obey my
mother. Unfortunately, I learned my lesson one gloomy day when I got caught for
speeding on a city street by a police officer.
It was the typical setting to be accused for a driving offense. The
clouds were gray, the roads were slick due to a recent rainfall and there was
not many cars on the road encouraging me to drive faster. I had just gone
through a yellow light at a major intersection and when I looke .....

Gun Control - A Firing Issue
<view this essay>.... period on buying firearms, was passed. Their arguments range from protecting children to saying that guns are diseases, but when one looks at the facts, though, the arguments of gun control advocates seem irrelevant and it becomes clear that guns should not be controlled.
Gun ownership by private citizens is protected under the 2nd Amendment. It states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The forefathers of our country meant for the people to own and use firearms, and any law or control on that right would be unconstitutional. Gun cont .....

Capital Punishment
<view this essay>.... on the subject dates as far back as 2000 B. C.,
but it is clear that capital punishment more or less has existed since the birth
of mankind (Szumski 25). Throughout history, it has been exercised in almost all
civilizations as a retribution for severe crimes, but sometimes also for the
thrill and excitement. The Romans put slaves and prisoners in the Coliseum as
lion food while spectators enjoyed the sight (Horwitz 13).
In the early colonial states, the death penalty was applied for a vast
number of crimes, just like in England, the ruler of the states in this era (II
536). In England, in the 18th century, there were approximately 220 offenses
punishabl .....

The Legalizing Of Marijuana
<view this essay>.... of marijuana for medical purposes is a step in the right
direction, but California and Arizona are going about it the wrong way. The
chemical in marijuana that has medicinal benifits is delta-9-
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Studies have shown that marijuana can ease pain,
relieve nausea, and generally relax a person. Marijuana is cheap and easy to
produce, so if legalized, it would be plentiful and probably widely used. The
problem is that there are as many harmful effects from smoking marijuana as
there are benefits. It slows reflexes, dulls the brain, and sometimes causes
hallucinations and/or cancer. There's no mystery about why it is illegal in
mo .....

Inform About Sex Offenders: Yes Or No?
<view this essay>.... not have
let her daughter play outside if she would have known, and if she should
have done this her daughter would still be alive today. Sure it might be
nice to know, then you could take the right precautions, but if the system
does its job then you should have to worry about Jesse as much as any other
person. It is not fair to the child to limit the way he or she can play
just because a sex offender is free.
I feel that the police department has an obligation to make sure
everybody that wants to know about the half way house does. It shouldn't
matter who lives in the house. They just got out of prison, so they must
have committed some sort of bad crime. .....
