Article 1: Is Pot Good For You?

marijuana is an illegal drug that is used by many people of all ages all over the world and it holds a controversial debatw of wether it is good or bad for you.

several people actually think that the U.S. government has sabotaged the medicinal effects of marijuanna. All of the new studies have put the government and scientists in a position of wether legalizing marijuanna or not.  Now, there are many people in favor of legalizing marijuana.

People ask a lot if marijuanna kills or not. No one has ever died of THC poisoning. This is because a 160 pound person would have to smoke about 900 joints in a sitting to reach a lethal dose. Some people have tried, but yet, nobody has died. Even though it has not killed anyone, it affects the body of the consumer. One of the problems is respiratory problems. Also, it can be a cause of indirect death like driving while being stonned for example, because this might get you into a car accident and cause death. Marijuana normally makes long time users slower and they have difficulties of speech.  This is one of the most serious effects after a lot of time of use.

Marijuanna can make you sick because it affects the immune system because one of tha receptors is located in immune cells. The effects of the THC are unclear since many people get different effects from it.

People who have quit marijuanna may suffer symptoms as anxiety, difficulty sleeping and stomach pain.

Article 2: Why legalizing Marijauna Makes Sense

 Different conditions such as economic crisis, and the right of the seniors to end their life in a good way has begun a debate of the ilegal condition of marijuana.

The most simple and basic reason in favor of legalization is that prohibition simply doesn't work. This was proven by the days of alcohol prohibition in the United States, but apparently this  lesson was worthless since the United States has been repeating the same mistakes with marijuana and other drugs continually over the following decades.

Another influential topic in this decision is that Marijauna causes a lot of violence because of all the money and ambitious and dangerous people involved. Also , the government could bnenefit from this legalization because they could charge taxes from its sale. Just as with cigarettes the governmet could carry our pacific campaigns and try to prevent teens from getting it, in fact is bettter to prevent kids to have contact with drug dealers because they are really dangerous and kids should not be involved with that type of people.

Fear rollplay in MS13

In the MS13 fear is a powerful weapon used by the gang members. Members found out a long time ago that fear would become a powerful tool used by them to control the territories and to avoid other gangs to try and invade their areas. Also this new found tool fear is used to avoid confrontation also and many other types of problems that they can face. Fear is commonly used in the gangs but in a gang as organized as the Mara salvatrucha or the MS13 fear turns to be a part of their lives, also fear is what makes them react so violent. Fear makes you nervous, being nervous make's you react violently. Apart from being a tool it becomes what they are, fear has evolved into a way of living for them.

Do to the fear they spread they have managed to spread over thirty three states across the United States. Also they have spread almost worldwide; they use fear to recruit people to the gang, also they use fear to increase a anger they all poses within. People tend to do more out of fear tan out of any other emotion because this emotion releases an adrenalin rush and allows us use our survival instinct. In an internal and external way MS instill fear. Inside the gang mistakes are a synonym of death. The severe punishment prevents people from betrayal, not obeying superiors, and from leaving the gang. Outside the MS, normal civilians also fear people involved with this criminal movement. Their harshness maintains people scared and unmorally they earn their respect. Their actions cause panic, and from them you learn to live trying not to have any type of contact and respecting them. If not you could lose your lifeThey are linked with fear because of the inhuman things they do to live. They kill torture and control areas to get their profits also to be respected and be an important part of the gang you have to kill some people and even go to jail.
