Dope Dealing 101

In dope dealing 101, the author's claim is that marijuna should be legalized. In a similar article,"Liberal Drug Warriors! Conservative Pot-Coddlers!" from The Atlantic magazine, they discuss the same issue. The author Stuart Taylor discusses how the Supreme Court is trying to make medical marijuana illegal in all the 11 states where they are legal, including California. However, considering the fact that marijuana is used for many medical reasons, it would be less-effective to make it illegal. Also considering the fact that marijuana is a popular substance used, to make it illegal would bring more crime, because more people would rebel to that law. That's why marijuna shoud be legal nation_wide and if the surpreme court wanted to majke a law, they should treat it as Alchohol and just put an age limit on it.

Tone: Informative


Application: Do you think marijuna should be legalized?

Clarification: Do you feel the author is saying alchohol should be legalized as well?
