Why The Prohibition Must End!
Today I’ve
decided to write to you all about the drug prohibition and why it must end. The
prohibition is causing more trouble than the drugs themselves and I’m going to
tell you how.
Let’s begin
with the fact that drug charges are classified as criminal charges. This is bad
because as we know, teenagers are experimental, majority of teenagers try their
luck with at least one drug, and a lot of them are getting caught and charged
as criminals. These criminal charges prevent them from doing a lot of things in
life, getting the job they desire, travelling overseas etc… A mistake some body
makes as an adolescent shouldn’t reflect their life it’s unfair. The
prohibition is turning our kids into criminals.
Legalizing
drug consumption would reduce state and federal deficits by eliminating costs
of enforcing the prohibition. Costs which include but are not limited to
arrests, prosecutions and detainment. In 2009 housing drug related prisoners had
a large cost to the US Federal Government at an approximate 2,094,510,000
dollars. Decriminalization of drugs would mean a saving of 25.7 billion dollars
for the state and local Government, aswell as 15.6 billion dollars for the
federal government… Annually. In 2008 The federal Government spent 15.6 Billion
dollars enforcing prohibition, 3.4b spent on Marijuana, 7.1b on cocaine, 1.24b
on heroin and 3.9b used to fight other drugs.
We also can’t
forget the undeniable medical benefits that marijuana brings us, both mental and
physical. A proven, effective medication for cancer, as well as glaucoma,
Multiple Sclerosis, Chronic Pain, Depression, Anxiety, stress etc… Millions of
people all around the earth are experiencing these medical benefits first hand,
both legally and illegally and They’re working for the most of them. The main chemical
in marijuana tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) actually makes cancer cells commit
suicide, the Government knew this back in the 70’s but kept the studies hidden
from us.
This is
Just my 2 cents though, I could continue on but I’ll keep it short for you
guys. Any opinions?

400 Plants Siezed!
A fire at a South Seattle Vietnamese restaurant led to the seizure nearly 400 marijuana plants on Monday morning.
When firefighters responded to the blaze at My Canh restaurant in Rainier Valley on Martin Luther King Jr Way South at about 8 a.m., they saw flames on the back side of the building, reports Q13 Fox News. Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore said the blaze was difficult to fight because it was an electrical fire caused by the restaurant's badly-wired power system.
"After we got the fire knocked down it appeared that there was some type of illegal wiring to City Light," Moore said. "The business may have been drawing power that it illegally wired."
The electrical fire blacked out power to the entire city block, according to officials on the scene, who said it was not restored until police got a search warrant to secure the power box at the restaurant, reports KOMO. There were no reports of injuries.
One anonymous source told Toke of the Town that many -- possibly most -- illegal marijuana grow operations (as in non-medical grows) in the Seattle area are set up to steal electrical power. Power bills for some of the operations would run thousands of dollars a month if they weren't stealing electricity, our source told us.
Fire crews broke down the back door of the restaurant and followed the suspected illegal wiring down to the basement, where they discovered what appeared to be a large-scale cannabis grow operation.
"We had to make forcible entry to the building because it was locked," Moore said. "We found several hundred plants in the basement of this building." Moore claimed he "could not comment" on the type of plant discovered, which seems a bit silly.
The Seattle Police Department confirmed that it was marijuana plants and called their narcotics units to the scene. About 400 plants were found in the basement, said Seattle police spokesman Mark Jamieson, reports Jennifer Sullivan at the Seattle Times.
Seattle Public Utilities crews were also called in to investigate the alleged illegal routing of city power to the grow operation in the basement. Jamieson said the fire was caused by "electrical power that was illegal diverted."
The building owner told fire investigators that he had been leasing the basement space out, and said he didn't know about the marijuana grow operation below his restaurant.
