The article "Marijuana law just creates criminals", by Hakeem Jeffries is about people getting arrested for having the possession of marijuana and it's creating more criminals. People were arrested because they were caught carrying a small amounts of marijuana. "More that 50,000 people in 2011 were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana." Poeple were arrested and charged because they had a possession of marijuana. "Thousands of people are then arrested and charged with with misdemeanor possession, punishable by up to three months in jail and a 500$ fine.
I believe that's outrages because things like this shouldn't happen and get out of control. So many people had to get arrested because of marijuana and I believe that the government should take out marijuana and only give it to people who need it because that's unbelievable.
I don't think that none of my life experiences could add up to this because this is dead wrong. Peoples families are being teared apart because of this situation, jobs are being lost and it's all because of this marijuana. What could people do to stop this? Is there something that I can do or our community?
This article was surprising and really informing. I really didn't know that these things were going on. I wonder how people feel about this? Is this something that's killing america? These are questions I would soon wanted to be answered.
