Marijuana law just creates criminals by Hakeem Jeffries. It's about how unfairly the people get arrested for having marijuana.
Each year hundreds of thousands of people are arrested for smoking or having marijuana on them. In New York it's a policy called stop and frisk, they stop you and check you without any warnings. Often police officer ride around and approach young people and instruct them to empty their pockets, a lot of people are arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession.
New York is preparing to take steps to solve this problem. It's only because high political office have frequently admitted to smoking marijuana when they were younger. We didn't unmercifully penalized them. So we should stop criminalizing hundred of thousands of our young people for doing the samething.
Personally, I know a lot of people that smoke marijuana and don't care if the police catch them or not, they love when their high. They say it feels good and just let you leave your worries at home, try it. I say no marijuana slows you down and kills your brain cells, and you won't be able to get a job if you smoke marijuana.
I would like to ask the cop's that be arresting people for marijuana some questions.
If that person you seen smoke marijuana was your son or daughter what would you do?
Have you ever smoked marijuana?
Did you ever think about smoking marijuana?
I wouldn't like if they take marijuana away because some people need marijuana to stay cool without that they might go off and shoot at anybody or anything, and that's putting the young kids and adult in danger of getting killed but someone who want's drugs!
Do you think the cops should be more persistent in arresting people or less? Should we change our laws in any way? 90
