and a 100 words a replay to one of my classmates ….. this:
I do think Texas should decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, but why not just get it over with and legalize it. Every time I hear about this topic it gets compared to alcohol and I believe that is a fair comparison. I would not say one is worse than the other. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism stated that 14.4 million adults ages 18 and older had Alcohol use disorder. In Texas, you can also drink under 21 if you are with a parent. Alcoholism has also caused deaths on the roads, and marijuana has no deaths accounted for it.
A total of 33 states have legalized marijuana for medical use and 11 have legalized recreational use. This has grown and I soon believe that eventually, Marijuana will become legalized across the US. I personally don’t see the problem with this so-called drug. Alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco can all be considered a drug. They have been justified as not being seen as harmful to society but marijuana somehow is considered bad.
Here is Participation Topic #4: Should Texas decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana?
The repercussions Texans face for possessing small amounts of pot — something several states no longer consider criminal — can all depend on where in the state they live. Some lawmakers want an across-the-board relaxation of criminal charges. But stigma fuels lingering opposition.
A good bit of background material is available at the Texas Tribune.

Take care to formulate arguments, not simple declarative statements. An argument is a well-developed, clearly stated line of reasoning aimed at convincing others of the truth or fallacy of a statement.
“Reasoned” means you’ve thought about the question and present your ideas in a coherent fashion. It does not mean that I or your classmates agree with you.
You will encounter a variety of viewpoints on volatile topics over the course of the semester. You may disagree, perhaps strongly, with opinions expressed by your classmates (and almost certainly, me).
As long as we treat each other with respect, these differences enhance class discussion and create an atmosphere where we learn from each other. Rest assured that your grades will not be influenced by beliefs or ideas expressed on the discussion boards.
And though all the winds of doctrine were let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth be in the field, we do injuriously, by licensing and prohibiting, to misdoubt her strength. Let her and Falsehood grapple; who ever knew Truth put to the worse, in a free and open encounter?
–Milton, Aeropagitica, 1643
Participation is graded on whether your comments are thoughtful and coherent, respond directly to the question (or another post in the board), contribute something new to the discussion, reflect an effort to move the discussion along, bring some evidence to your argument, and reflect an understanding of the course materials.
NOTE: I take spelling, grammar, and composition into account when grading your work. Your work must be well-written to receive full credit.
