Statement of Intent
Through research and reason, I shall find my stance on the legalization of adult possession of marijuana in Washington. I hope to get a full grasp and understanding for the new initiative being filed by local activists that could possibly appear on the ballot next November. In counter, I hope to see how local anti-legalization activists respond to the initiative and better understand their view. Many benefits from Legalization could potentially happen to help benefit our country especially if we can tax it. Problems range from the drug being even more abundantly available to adolescents creating a stepping stone to harder drugs to letting immoral criminals jailed from Marijuana charges to walk free. Both the activists and the opposition have strong arguments regarding the Legalization of Marijuana in Washington State. Potential problems with exploring the issue are in abundance, but many revolve around false information being published and pushed out over the internet for all to read.
