Legallize Marijuana

Yes, I think marijuana should be legalized in every country. Marijuana is not an addictive drug. Many people buy it just because it’s illegal. If they legalized marijuana there would be less poverty because many of the people who use it only use money for dope. There would also be less corruption and criminals that would decrease the death rate in every country. The United States wouldn’t waste those millions of dollars burning the marijuana farms and getting all the dealers. Also it would be cheaper and people who use it for medical purposes would use it freely and it wouldn’t be so expensive por them. The world wouldn’t be so dangerous now days because normally now all the crimes are done because of drugs. People would be much safer. It would be safer because almost all the thieves are involved in drugs and use them and because they waste it all on it they become criminals and start stealing from people and some even killing them. They should also legalize it because the drug is not so harmful like other drugs such as the cigarette; if the marijuana is illegal the cigarette and the alcohol should be too. Many people say it shouldn’t be legalized because they think that it’s the most harmful drug but the effects aren’t so damaging, it won’t give you lung cancer and it won’t give u any type of breathing problem. The effects are minimum and short in time. People all over the world now are protesting for the legalization of the drug. Many people who are protesting are people who need it for medical use and they can’t afford it because it illegal otherwise if it wasn’t it would be much cheaper.

the marijuana should be legalized just for the simple reason of a more peaceful place without much deaths and crimes.

Meth

Methamphetamine is the most dangerous drug that has been discovered. Worse than alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, heroin, cannabis and any other drug. Its effect in the human body is that it increases the energy of the person who uses it, and it makes him want more. People who use meth will do whatever it takes to get more of it. They stop working because they brain doesn’t functions the same and they only focus on the drug. People become thieves and most of them get into jail. They will do whatever to get the drug so they steal money or anything that they can sell. A reaction of the drug is an itching all over the body.  People who take it have huge scratches and scars cause by their itching and because they scratch all over their body especially their faces. It also removes their concentration, and doesn’t let people think straightly. The one who takes it feels so good they think they have the need to take more. They create a lab on their homes that can be really dangerous because of the chemical fumes and because it’s very flammable. Meth kills people who take it really fast it just takes a couple of years and if you just take it once you are already addicted to it.

Fear to MS-13

Die for your family, and live for your gang. the life in a gang is not easy, in order to belong in one you have to commit to its laws and way of living. a person who belongs to a gang fears for their life every day. The role of fear in a gang can go into two different ways. One, to keep you in the organization and two, to cause fear to people around to be respected. People in this kind of groups usually act against the laws and make fearful actions against a society in order to cause fear to the people that surround them. These gangs feel superior because they have no fear for anything, and all they want is power. Why power? Because power leads you to respect and therefore gain importance. These gangs are formed because these people want everything easy and usually by breaking the law they become famous. In conclusion the role of fear in an organization like this one is to gain power, defy, and stand up for what they believe they have a right for even though it implies breaking the law at any cost. In the end to the eyes of society these people don't gain power, they show no education and no virtues or values for their lives. One thing that is important to mention is that the people they choose to belong to these groups have to have low self esteem and weakness. Weakness is a characteristic that will empower the leader of the gang to keep its members against their will.
