In the
article ‘Marijuana law just creates criminals’ the author Hakeem Jefferies
talks about marijuana and how it is affecting New York and also how 85% of the
people arrested are black and Latino. I think marijuana should just be legal
because everyone is going to smoke it anyway I’m not saying it’s right but I don’t
really think it’s a bad drug where as though you would have to get locked up
for it like in the article it says over 400,000 people were arrested for
marijuana in the last decade that’s just crazy. I don’t think you should be
allowed to smoke marijuana and drive that should be illegal because you could
get seriously hurt and so can other people around you. Also if you’re caught
with a lot of marijuana that should just be a fine not jail time. People make
it seem like it’s a big deal drug like cocaine or heroin. I also agree with the
article when it says it should either be a crime or not because you cant be in
the middle of a crime either you did it or didn’t.

Power Ball
Leroy Scott
The power
ball that has passed on Saturday no one has got the exact numbers 22-32-37-44-50 and the power ball was 34. The
amount given to the winner now is an estimate of 425 million which is the
largest ever in lottery history. The article states, “While millions of
Americans can have fun dreaming about how they'd spend the jackpot, the odds of
winning are 1 in 175,000,000, according to lottery officials.” Before
the power ball was only 365 million and it shot all the way up to 425 million. And
I agree because the chances of anybody winning is so highly unlikely you might
never win every time you play the power ball your taking a chance of losing however
much the ticket cost and not winning anything. In my opinion if I could play
the power ball I would whenever I had extra money and got the chance because to
me there is always a chance that you could win and sometime I feel like chosen
or something and to also get all that money just from a dollar or two dollar
ticket that’s nothing. Everyone should play.
