  1. Wait… What’s wrong with pot? A look into the legalization of Marijuana

  2. Ethos • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nr6cd44i_xI • Joe Rogan on the Legalization of Marijuana • Joe Rogan was a famous talk show host that turned into a host for an ultimate fighting corporation called UFC. Rogan can be seen as a figure of authority and if he says that marijuana is okay, by persuasion of ethos, people believe that it is okay. • “People can overdose on fast food, does that mean we should close every burger joint in America?” –Joe Rogan

  3. Logos • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73PZfQdv5Hw “The facts” • Here are the straight facts of,marijuana. How it became legal, then illegal after the government banned it after World War II. It should not be illegal. • If you have more time on your hands, the full length movie “The Union, the business of getting high,” will show you, IN DETAIL, every argument against legalization of marijuana, and then rip your argument to shreds. It involves Ethos, Pathos, Kairos, Lots of Logos, and shows why Mithos in this case has ended bad. The only reason it was seen as bad after WWII because it was seen as making soldiers pacifist and they believed communists would use it against us. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT-UIe7l3-Q “The Union”

  4. Kairos • According to GrowthHouse.org, more than 1,500 people per day die of cancer. On the flipside, not one single person has died because of marijuana. Poor choices like driving while intoxicated may have been caused by being under the influence, but that also happens with alcohol, which is legal and more dangerous than marijuana. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cUC8tjoB_0 • Marijuana has been proven in this video to cure and prevent cancer. So why would we wait years and years for the legalization of something that can cure most of the 564,000 cancer deaths per year?

  5. So… what’s the argument? • Is it because it makes us lazy? • Because people are naturally lazy and don’t need any help. • It causes cancer and smokers lungs? • Because it hasn’t caused one single death in history and it doesn’t have the effect of a cigarette and cannot cause cancer. • What about overdosing? And getting addicted? • The most potent thing in marijuana is the THC, the substance that makes people feel “high.” The body produces this naturally in the brain in small doses anyway. They only way to overdose is to smoke twice your weight in pounds of marijuana IN ONE SITTING. The time alone it would take to do that cannot be reached. And there isn’t one substance in marijuana that is addictive. On a list of substances most addictive to least, marijuana was rated BELOW COFFEE. • Think marijuana should remain illegal? • Think again.
