.... Possession of four ounces or more can result in jail time. One argument in favor of legalizing marijuana is its potential use as medicine. Many of the effects marijuana has on the mind and body are helpful in fighting several diseases. Marijuana has often been used to help cancer patients ease the pain of chemotherapy. It is also used against AIDS. Many AIDS patients have very little appetite. The effect marijuana has on people's hunger, commonly known as the “munchies”, helps these people to keep eating, so that their bodies stay stronger, and don't deteriorate as quickly. Marijuana is also helpful for people .....

.... be readily available at corner drug stores. These could be taxed heavily because the users will be assured of "clean drugs." Making drugs legal will reduce the great amounts of money spent on enforcement every year. Drug dealers and users are one step ahead on the enforcement process. If one drug lord is caught, another one will show up somewhere else. We cannot win. “In 1987, 10 billion dollars were spent alone just on enforcing drug laws. Drugs accounted for about 40 percent of all felony indictments in the New York City courts in 1989. This figure is quadruple what it was in 1985. . Forty percent of the people in federal pri .....

.... crimes. These crimes, even today, are still viewed as violent and should be punished with the highest degree of discipline available to achieve justice. After much public pressure, capital punishment was suspended on a trial run in 1967. This proved to be ineffective, because even though the law stipulated that crimes such as treason or the murder of law enforcement agents, were still to be subjected to the death penalty, the federal cabinet continued to commute those criminals from death to life sentences, hence the law was not being followed and justice was not being served. This soon was followed with capital punishm .....

.... the problem as feasible." This statement is ludicrous, it would not change society in the slightest other than we would now have higher taxes in order to support these individuals drug habit. These individuals would now have no reason to try and better themselves in society, which means they would continue to depend on the American public to support them. People that are on drugs have no respect for themselves much less anyone else. They have fallen to a very low point in their lives and do not have the strength or the knowledge of how to pick themselves up and out of the situation they are in. We must give them some hope that .....

.... cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking and reducing the consumption of illegal drugs. It has the following objectives: Eliminate the illegal use of drugs in both societies, especially among the youth. Increase the security along the common border, while maintaining full respect for each country’s sovereignty. Ensure that drug traffickers cannot evade justice in one country by fleeing to the other. Control the diversion of precursor chemicals and eliminate the production and consumption of methamphetamines. Pass and implement specific legislation to penalize money laundering and exchange informa .....

.... overcrowding. Funds are not available to build prisons fast enough to provide the needed space. Violent criminals are being paroled early or are having their sentences chopped to make space for drug users and dealers. Legalizing drugs would immediately relieve the pressure on the prison system, since there would no longer be "drug offenders" to incarcerate. And, since many drug users would no longer need to commit violent or property crime to pay for their habits, there would be fewer "drug" criminals to house. Instead of building more prisons, we could pocket the money and still be safer. As a consequence, all criminals have a .....

Agree to keep their weight in proportion to their height A violation of any the above conditions would be grounds for dismissal from the Police Department without the right of Union protection. After the six new Police Officers graduated from the Police Academy, they were assigned to various shifts. They were to be evaluated and inspected while on a one year probation period.

.... to the location, and gets information such as the victims name, address and general information about him or her, including the place of employment. The next important piece of information required is the VIN number from the vehicle, which is the vehicle identification number and/or the tag number. Without this information, the proof of owner is hard to determine. If this VIN number is not presented, the initialization of the report is incomplete. If the owner is not verified, the report will be filed as auto theft but it will not be entered in APB, DCI, neither will it be entered in NCIC terminals. These terminals allow .....

.... distilled liquor. Some people, including physicians and ministers, became concerned about the extent of alcohol use. They believed that drinking alcohol damaged people’s health and moral behavior, and promoted poverty. People concerned about alcohol use urged temperance- that is, the reduction or elimination of the use of alcoholic beverages. At first, supporters of temperance urged drinkers to drink only moderate amounts. But the supporters later became convinced that alcoholic beverages were addictive. In the 1820’s and 1830’s, the first temperance crusade reduced the average annual intake of pure alcohol per person .....

.... is that those using guns are getting younger. Boys are learning to live by the gun, and sort out their arguments with guns. In 1997, more than 27,000 young men between the ages of 12 and 15 were killed or injured by handguns. Television and films have helped to glorify the gun through the Westerns and police dramas where shots are fired in almost every scene. On the average, the American child sees 10,000 people die on TV shows, which diminishes the importance of human life and makes violence seem normal. Reducing the number of guns in private hands is crucial. In conclusion it seems that societies with few guns, have fewer murd .....
