So I picked a topic of legalization of marijuana and how it had affects on the white house. In the article it says "The administration has taken a fuzzy stance on the matter: in states where it's legal to puff, the government will pass on punishment." which is very interesting because if you're going to legalize something like that as a recreational use, why would you punish them by using it?
There's something that Obama said that puzzled me and made me wonder how he does things. "We're going to see what happens in the experiments in Colorado and Washington," President Barack Obama said in a recent interview with CNN's Jake Tapper. This is definitely setting up someone for a disaster because a drug like this is very easy to get addicted to for recreational use. Now if it's being used medically than people will find ways to slip through the system and get the pot and sell it. Which leads to crime consequently. That's why it should be legalized because the crime rates would go down. Then again people will find more things to sell which brings more crime.
There's something interesting that the president said, "As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life," the President told the New Yorker in a recent interview. "I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol." He has a good point with the habit part but smoking cigarettes is way more dangerous than smoking weed. Cigarettes have tobacco and tar within it. Smoking weed eases pain and a state of euphoria. That doesn't kill as opposed to cigarettes. And alcohol is way more dangerous than any of these. Not only does it kill your liver but you can kill other people by driving while intoxicated.
