DEBATE: Legalization of the Marijuana

What’s up!

This time I’m writing about a theme we recently discussed at school. Last week our Spanish teacher told us to choose a theme for our class debate. We chose the legalization of the marijuana in Mexico.

I think that’s really an interesting subject to debate about because its effects could be either good or bad.

Personally, I think they should legalize it because in that way we could eliminate the drug dealing problem and to avoid addictions problems we could educate the young generations and all the people living about the drug and about its effects in an inadequate way. Like this we can have a controlled use of the marijuana.

Our argument for supporting it was that we could overcome sooo many problems, deaths, kidnaps etc. and it even does less harm than the alcoholic beverages and the cigarettes.

Well, in the debate some of my classmates who were against the legalization said that the main reason it shouldn’t be legalized was because the society wasn’t ready yet for such a drastic change. But I think that it can be used correctly if people have conscience about the marijuana’s bad effects.

Well we finally came to the conclusion that maybe it should be legalized but first the government and each family should teach the people to differentiate the good from the bad and about all the consequences of each action you make.
