The topic that impacted me the most was the issue on child freedom. I never really thought of how out of control my life could be if i didn't have parents to patrol my life and my decisions. I now understand that however much freedom I want from my parents, I still need them to keep me in line so that I'm not running crazy. I now have a new found respect for my parents and what they are doing.

Views on Marijuana legalization

I believe that marijuana should be legalized. My research shows me that the THC in marijuana does not cause damage to the human brain. This does not completely prove that it is safe however. There are other possible problems with marijuana, but most likely are only minor and not very harmful. I do not have 100% evidence that it is safe but until further studies are to prove this wrong, then I believe that it should be legalized.

Issues on marijuana: Legalization

I started my research finding many reasons for and against the legalization of marijuana like THC effects, addictive effects, and the use of marijuana at a young age. The article that contributed to my research the most was an organization NORML. This article shows the affects of marijuana and how they make, only in some cases, minor differences in the human body. An example that the article stated was that the THC content in marijuana only stimulates, not kills, brain cells (NORML). This statement is in an argument for legalization, and is pointing out that the affects are not harmful. It shows that it is safe and will not affect the human brain, at least not greatly. Marijuana is still illegal however, perhaps there is some other chemical in marijuana that can cause damage.
