Why Marijuana Should be Legal

One of the main reasons I endorse marijuana legalization goes back to the times I researched the start of its Prohibition. During the early 1930s a man named Willian Randolph Hearst, head of the Burea of Narcotics at the time, fueled a drug war based upon racial prejudice against the Mexicans. Hearst owned a timber company and a paper production company that helped manufacture and distribute paper across the nation. During the 1930s however, Hearst took advantage of the high amounts of racism.
I personally do not smoke marijuana; for I believe the appropriate age to consume or smoke marijuana should be 18.
Another reason why I think marijuana should be legal is because of the medical benefits marijuana provides. Cancer patients, especially people diagnosed with brain tumors, smoke medical marijuana in order to ease their pain and suffering. Why should these people be suffering, when there is an opportunity for them to live their lives easier? Anorexia and loss of appetite are side effects of cancer. In order to counter-react with the effects, cancer patients are advised by most doctors to smoke marijuana for the drug THC is able to restore loss appetite
To this day, I wonder why other drugs that are more dangerous than marijuana are available. Alcohol can bring out the worst in people, and yet there has never been a case where a person has died of marijuana overdose.
If I were to put a 100 people in one barn and place a free bar that serves alcoholic beverages and another barn where I put a 100 people with a stash of marijuana, tell me which party would you rather go to? Marijuana should be legal for I find no reason for adults to NOT smoke it.

The most admirable celebrity.

The celebrity I find most admirable is Chuck Norris. I grew up watching ‘Walker Texas Ranger’ with my dad and brother when we first installed cable into our house. While there were other famous action movie stars such as Steven Segal, Jean Claude Van Damme, or Stallone at the time, Norris always appealed to me the most due to the characters he played in his movies. In ‘Walker Texas Ranger’ Norris plays ‘Walker’ a crime-fighter who fights against criminals of the local town he has sworn to protect. Due to Norris’ Christian background and Norris’ position as co-producer of the show, he has incorporated morals, values, and virtues as elements of the show.
Each episode, a ‘bad guy’ or an antagonist of the episode is introduced and wreaks havoc and mayhem onto the town. It is up to Walker, the local ranger, to dispose of the bad guy. Each episode usually ends with Chuck Norris delivering his signature roundhouse kick to the bad guy with the bad guy being thrown out of a window, door, or off the roof due to the force of the kick.
In 2005, a website full of exaggerated and fictitious facts about Chuck Norris was created. The facts are solely for humorous purposes and to pay tribute to the action movie star. Examples of Chuck Norris facts are the following:

• If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
• There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.
• Chuck Norris is suing Myspace for taking the name of what he calls everything around you.
• Apple pays Chuck Norris 99 cents every time he listens to a song.
• Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.
• Chuck Norris can beat the wall in tennis
• Chuck Norris’ tears can cure cancer, it’s too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Norris’ fan base is still growing and it is because of his tough, cool attitude he has won the hearts of many people around the world.
