Mary J

In one of the group presentations a group went through the pros and cons of marijuana. when i first heard them introduce what their project was about, first thought that came to mind was all of the students and friends that i know smoke weed. many of them use it has a stress-reliever or just something to calm them down for the moment. however the group began by giving some of the background to where marijuana came from. i was unaware that marijuana has been around for as long as it has and the fight for it to still be legalized is still ongoing. But the group explained that in history, marijuana was a substance that many never understood therefore it allowed many to misinterpret its uses and give is such a bad connotation. the gave some of the commonly used nicknames such as: weed, tree, mary j, kush, joint, blunt, and doobie. all of them i am pretty famaliar with. also the group informed us that marijuana isnt as bad as many drugs that are being used and are already legalized. the chart that the group presented showed evidents that marijuana has yet to kill anyone but the usage of tobacco and alcohol have done most of the damage. medon personally i see the problem with the use of weed besides many will have lung problems or loss of memory but other than that it has caused any serious problems in my eyes. one of the group members says that he is for weed to be legalized everywhere. he explained but that its not as bad as other drugs, there is evidence of it and it shouldnt be looked down upon if you were to smoke it. i agree but i understand is all has to deal with the economics of it. that has been the reason why its not legalized across the US. so you can say that i liked the groups presentation.
