Marijuana Law Just Creates Criminals

Marijuana Law Just Creates Criminals 
By: Hakeem Jeffries 

In this article here it talks about how marijuana is affecting the world and creating criminals. So really it just talks about what happens if you get caught by the cops with drugs on you, they'll arrest you, and if you resist it it'll become a crime. It says that Black and Latino is the most common race that'll get caught with marijuana.

The article tells how many people are arrested for having drugs on them. In the article it says "more than 50,000 people in 2011 were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana...the majority of whom were Black and Latino." They tell how alot of drugs has been skyrocketed and has came with consequences. It says "Despite this change in law, arrest for small quantities of marijuana over the last decade have skyrocketed, with more than 40,000 people arrested and unceremoniously run through the criminal justice system." It also says "But what many people don't know is that the state decriminalized this offense more than 30 years ago, making private possession of less than 25 grams of marijuana a violation punishable by a $100 fine."

Honestly, in this article I think they spoke up on good points. I think that marijuana is becoming a big problem. Very Big! Young children around us think that it is very popular to sell and smoke marijuana because its trending so badly. I think by them arresting them is making a big difference they should keep it up because I want the next generation to be better. Something got to give.

There was a time when my uncle and I walked to the store he got shot-up and he was yelling telling me to run. He got shot up because he had a marijuana related issue. I found out that he had suppose to owe someone money money or a trade, something like that. He started ducking the guy, but he caught him when he least expected him to.

This article has helped me understand why there is alot of people getting arrested and how marijuana is becoming a big problem. It also gave me a better view on how it has taken a toll on this generation today. I guess it'll continue on until they get more serious about this marijuana problem.

Imagine if that was you, Would you want to do the police job? ,Would you rather be the bad person?, What would you do if you were in this situation?, Do you want the world to change? Why?

Nicki Minaj and Her Different Personalities

l Nicki Minaj and Her Different Personalities  

In this article its talks about Nicki Minaj and her different personalities. Its says how talented but most people don't like it they thinks its real dumb and childish. They say she does it for attention. They say every since she became famous and change ways such as her body and stuff she been feeling herself.

In this article someone said " I think Nicki Minaj and out of pocket I think the things she does is really uncalled for." Another person said "I really dislike her for how she forgot about who she really was and I feel like she look down on people now." It also said " before Nicki was popular I loved her, I feel like she really changed alot so now I don't feel the same about her anymore."

I think Nicki Minaj and her different personalities is something amazing and very talented.I think it has helped her in a way escape away from things she don't want to deal with and that's fine. Its okay to you know have different personalities. How they think actors do what they do. If people knew anything about Nicki she went to an Talented school to audition in singing but was horse so she took up acting. She an amazing person.

There was a time when people didn't like my cousin because they said that she was 2 faced. I thought it was her personalty period but they said she has more than one personalty. So they kept judging her base on what they. So people stop liking her but know she goes to school for acting and now everyone wants to claim their the reason she got there.

This article helped me because it helped me understand that you shouldn't judge people or under estimate them because of  something you don't like about them. It gave me deeper understanding on taking others as they are.

What do you think? Do you think Nicki Minaj different personalities is a good thing or bad thing? Why? Do you think she putting it to good use?

Should 16 years olds drive?

Should 16-year-olds drive?

This article talks about whether or not teens should drive, its also about what happens letting 16 year old teens drive as far as car crashes and how its really effective and not safe. Most people think that 16 year olds shouldn't be allowed to drive.

In the passage it says "the institutes 17-page report collects research on the minimum driving age from the United States and countries that have higher licensing ages." its also says " the research shows states are making progress in reducing the No.1 killer teens-motor vehicle crashes-through graduated driver licensing. The laws ease restrictions on teen drivers as they gain experience and keep a clean driving record." So they basically want to change the fact that they can drive.

I think that teens shouldn't be able to drive at the age 16, even though I'm going to be 16 soon and anxious about driving I'm not going to agree that it should be allowed. Most 16 year olds are still immature and they don't know how to act in a car full of friends they want to play around alot and prove points to their friends. Some teens aren't yet responsible they drink and drive causing accidents, things that could be prevented.

There was a time when one of my twin brothers which is 16 years of age stole my aunt car. They thought it was cool they went driving around picking up they little friends. They decided to drive down south-Philly my brother got pulled over for speeding and he tried to out run them and ended up crashing the car.

This article gave me a better understanding I thought that driving was going to be an amazing thing but, it's not worth my life. It helped me understand how safe its not.

What do you think? Do you think 16 year olds should drive? Do you think its worth it? Let me know what you think. I think they should higher the age to receive a licenses and drive.
