There have been almost 9.5 million marijuana arrests in the United States since 1995. One person is arrested for marijuana every 36 seconds. About 89% of all marijuana arrests are for possession – not manufacture or distribution. If people are getting arrested for possession of marijuana every 36 seconds I personally don't think prohibition is working properly.

Marijuana was first prohibited in 1937. Today, between 95 and 100 million Americans admit to have trying it. A study in December 2006 found that marijuana is the new leading cash crop in the US exceeding the value of corn and wheat combined. Obviously prohibition is NOT working.

Since we were little we learned that drugs are bad. They are bad for you, they affect your body and your mind. Also, they are a waste of money.

i agree with you Tom. Other countries can live the way THEY want to. We have no right to tell them how they should or should not live. It is not our responsiblity to. We live the way we live. They live the way they live. Thats that.

That gave us an ego, thinking we were the best and better than other countries because we could fight them. First of all, that isn't right in any way. We have no right to brag about the way we live.

Imperialism, just like everything else, has its goods and its bads. It did help us in many ways but it also gave us an ego. Where we think that we are better than other countries just because of the way we live. Everyone lives differently Everyone IS different. Period.

The factories were unsanitary, dangerous, and unfit for children as young as 7 working there. Machines caused injuries all the time, and the owners wouldn't pay to get them fixed so more and more injuries and deaths occured. Besides the unsaftey of the factores children also had to work crazy hours with little to no pay at all. It was overall bad.

I agree. The war ended slavery and gave people the rights they deserved. But there still was racism afterwords. But at least they had some rights, and eventually they had all there rights. I guess it just took awhile for them to get all the rights.

I understand that you put this to start a debate. But I think racism is wrong. Who says the way they look or act is not "normal". It isn't. There is no deffinition of being "normal" everyone is different. Everyone looks different. The sooner we realize this the better off we will all be.

It was gross, not to mention completely unsanitary. They used spoiled animals and vegetables to make food. They smoked while working, there was guts all over the place. They didn't have appropriate clothes on. The "Federal Meat Inspection Act" changed all of this.
