Legalization of Medical Marijuana

Should marijuana be a medical option?The use of marijuana has been dated back to around 157 BC and has been used all over the country and in several different nations as a medicine and a herbal substitute for over the counter meds today.  People die everyday do to a overdose on prescription drugs or alcohol but there has never been a single recorded death do to the consumption of marijuana. There are proven benefits from the use of marijuana under supervision of a doctor and use of the substance in moderation that are allot safer and altogether more effective than prescription drugs.

Marijuana can be used to help people suffering from all types of cancer. People who undergo kemo theory have a drop in want to eat and server stiffness in joints. Marijuana helps regain a appetite and relaxes the muscles to loosen stiffness and help the person.

There has been testing done that has shown that when marijuana is used on patients who have altimeter's disease, while under the influence of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana ) can remember important details that were lost to the person as if a ship lost at sea. If a person is sick to their stomach and are nauseous marijuana can help reduce the sicking pain and can prevent the process of vomiting from occurring.

If marijuana was legalized it would greatly reduce crime rate and could benefit millions who need  safer drugs that would be easier on your vital organs and could prevent farther damage due to prescription or over the counter drugs. All prescription drugs not only contain the drug itself but a hardener to keep the pill in a solid form and a preservative to keep the product good while on the shelf. These chemicals are very very hard and destructive on your vital organs mainly your liver and kidneys. For more information click here.

In 2012 the Legalization of Medical Marijuana was put up for vote in Arkansas and lost by a two percent vote ratio. In four years it will be added to the ballot again and I have faith that it will be legalized for medical use and can help people all over the state and reduce crime rate. In the country today, Colorado and Washington, have legalized marijuana not only for medical use but recreational use. It is totally legal to people over the age of twenty one. This stoped the street selling of the medicine and almost stoped illegal trafficking of the substance.

CC# :3 Woman Died from Drinking 10 liters of Coke a Day

In the Article "Woman Died from Drinking 10 liters of Coke a day " the authors purpose in the document is very clear in showing large consumption of any substance, including food or water even, can be at risk to your health. The extremely large amount of Coke this woman was consuming caused serious heart problems and eventually lead to her death in 2010. The cause of death was just now found.


" Natasha Harris went into cardiac arrest in February 2010 and died at the age of 30." Her family said she was addicted to the soda and could not function without her fix for the day every day. Harris's family even said she would have withdraws without the caffeine rich soda causing her to shake. Her teeth had to be removed do to all the decay the soda caused on her teeth. "At least one of Harris’ eight children was born without enamel on his or her teeth, because of the mother’s addiction."


"The excessive consumption of Coca-Cola caused cardiac arrhythmia, which means the heart beats too fast or too slow, according to Coroner David Crerar." I can only imagine how she could handle so much of anything in such a short period of time. Crerar says that much soda is equivalent to more than two pounds of sugar and 970 milligrams of caffeine every day.

"Coca-Cola has argued it’s product cannot be linked to Harris’ death" and says that large consumption of anything is dangerous to your health. "Last year, in a statement to The Southland Times newspaper, a Coca-Cola representative said that grossly excessive ingestion of any food product, including water,  could be harmful. " Even water ?

This reminds me that I need to cut back on my soda consumption and to never forget to forget to brush my teeth. Ive had problems with to much caffeine myself and I know how bad the withdraws really are. People all over the world need to cut back and sugar and as a result their would be a lot of un happy kids but much more healthier teeth.

This woman drank 10 liters in one day every day! This act caused her death. How much do you drink?

CC# :2 4 Dead in Fiery Highway Crash

In the artical" 4 Dead in Fiery Highway Crash " the author main purpouse is to exsplain how easy a simple accident can change into a horrific tragic pileup due to small but powerful factors as simple as a heavy fog. On Wendnesday on Interstate 16 in Georgia over two dozen cars and trucks colided with each other causing a terrible mess. The crash killed four people and injured several more.

The crash was a " chain- reaction" that started with one car pulling to the curb and being hit from behing. "officals say that very poor visability " played a role in the crash . Dense fog and reported smoke crossing the road made responding to the surprise of the reck and stoping in time almost impossible.

" The crash shut down Interstate 16 for several hours" and caused traffic to back up for close to one hundred and seventy miles. This heavely traveld road is used to transport several tones of supplys to majior citys and delays may occur do to the short but tragic shut down.

" McGlamery says seven tractor trailors were involved in the pileup, including a empty fuel tanker." The truck compusted during the impact and caused a huge exsplosion causing even more confussion but the driver of the tanker did survive. Piecies of the tanker flew for several feet in all directions and almost hit a fellow American solider.

This remindes me of when I was living in Oklahoma and i saw a six car pileup and i saw several cars basically get ran over by larger vehicles. In a book im reading called Maximumn Ride they watched a tanker exsplode due to a gun shot from a helicopter. This is a very terrible event that killed four people and put nine in the hostpital but it happens every day in this crazy world we live in today.
