The subject I have chosen to do for my English project two is the legalization of marijuana. In the Jacob Komisar article “Marijuana Relegalization Debate” found at, , it describes the how it became illegal, how it can be used for medical use, and also how we can use it for everyday objects.
Another name for marijuana is cannabis or hemp. Cannabis was once legal in the in the Untied States but the US government decided to make it illegal. The Author stated that the real reason that the government made it illegal wasn’t because it was a harmful drug. He goes on stating that the US proposed the use hemp fiber in order to make stronger paper in the 1930’s but didn’t occur at the time because they couldn’t find a cheap way of separating the hemp. During the time while they were trying to find a cheap way to do so, a company found a cheaper way to make paper out of trees which made the paper whiter then hemp paper but weaker. This article also states that the US Constitution was even made out of hemp and because of that the Constitution has last over 300 years.
