"Speed": Methylamphetamine
... On Speed, users never want to eat because
the drug shrivels up their stomach that causes massive weight loss. One of the
reasons' women use the drug is to lose weight, which is an extremely unhealthy
way of doing it. What Speed does is it effects the middle nervous system, and

the mouth. After staying up for days on Speed the drug where's off and a person
will sleep for days, there is a larger fatigue and one will be so damn depressed.

Marijuana Should Be Legal For Medicinal Reasons Only
... diseases. Therefore, .
Even though marijuana has been used for medical purposes for thousands of years, interest in using it as treatment sparked in the late 1970’s (14, p.2). Today, marijuana has a positive reputation for helping cancer patients overcome the nausea associated with chemotherapy, treating glaucoma, and in stimulating the appetite of AIDS patients (14, p.3).

The fact that smoking marij ...

The Legalization Of Marijuana For All Purposes
... it might be worthwhile because it
would reduce the amounts of money spent on government enforcement of
current laws, if taxed, it could increase our country's revenue. The
government could then focus on cracking down on the harder drugs like crack
and heroine.
The government should also legalize marijuana because of its several
medicinal and industrial purposes. Legalizing hemp based products could
create a whole new industry. Fuels can be made by extracting oils from
seeds and the hemp fiber could be used to make ropes, clothing, or paper of
a higher quality because of the strength of the fibers.1

Crime Prevention
... Is the view of the entire community or just a select few? If there are sufficient resources, as in money and people, there is a theoretical possibility to all of these difficult questions. Combining services within the community and involving community members a multi-faceted attack on crime involving situational , environmental design, community-based policing, vigilante justice, and auxiliary justice, in theory, will prevent crime.
One of the reasons that community has become popular in the past twenty years is because of the economics of the justice system. The government was facing huge costs and they wanted to ...

Capital Punishment: Why Or Why Not?
... of how they must have felt
as the cold water started to fill the cabin of the car, and then ultimately
drown them. Barbaric is exactly the word I would use to describe her
actions. But yet, the jury rejected the death penalty and chose a life
sentence instead. The jury believed that justice was served by handing her
the life sentence. But was it justice that she was not put to death for
killing her two children? How could someone possibly let her off the hook
of such a crime?
"All grandeur, all power, all subordination to authority rests on
the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. ...

Abortion: Life Or Death Who Chooses?
... a human life and not all the wishful
thinking of those advocating repeal of abortion laws, can alter this.
Those of us who would seek to protect the human who is still to small to
cry aloud for it's own protection, have been accused of having a 19th
Century approach to life in the last third of the 20th Century. But who in
reality is using arguments of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible
fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of
conception, a new human life has been created.
Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their
knowledge, can deny it: only those who are ...

Capital Punishment: The Legal Punishment Of A Criminal
... in the negative aspect. Although when these two terms are combined
there is alot more meaning to them than just excellent or penalization. These
now strictly signify, death.
Capital punishment has been a form of “disciplining” since 1750 B.C.,
when it was part of the code of Hammarabi. The bible itself, also prescribes
death as a penalty for any of thirty crimes committed. The crimes ranged from
any between murder and fornication. In the 18th century more than two hundred
capital crimes were recognized, and as a result over one thousand people a year
were faced with the sentence of death.

The Rodney King Case
... citizen, this whole incident could have been considered a job well done. Now, because of the action of the Los Angeles police that night and the subsequent acquittals of the policemen, the public’s mind was clearly open to the issue of racism in American society today.
The Rodney King incident was a wake up call for all of America. The actions of Sgt. Stacy Koon, Officer Laurence Powell, Officer Tim Wind, and Officer Ted Briseno, which were captured on videotape the night of March 3, 1991, and the three days of rioting and violence that followed the trial shows how much differently people think when it comes to ju ...

The Problems Of Drinking And Driving
... simply when a person doesn't
acknowledge that he/she isn't fit to drive, and no one else argues with
them. Generally, when sober, people know that it is wrong to drink and
drive, but it boils down to the fact that at the time when this important
decision is being made, a person's judgement is impaired.
This problem is all too common among young people. Although people
attempt to drill the message "don't drink and drive" into young minds
everywhere as early as kindergarten, it doesn't seem to be enough. A child
needs to get this message early and often. This is unfortunately not always
so. Today, only one in every ...
