Why legalizing Marijuana is the way to go (By Daniel Aguilar)

-

Marijuana legalization has been a controversial topic for decades, but there are many potential benefits to legalizing this drug. Here are some of the key benefits:

Medical benefits: 

Marijuana has been found to have potential medical benefits, including treating chronic pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and nausea from chemotherapy. Legalization could make it easier for patients to access these treatments.

Reduced criminal activity: 

Legalizing marijuana can reduce the number of people being arrested and prosecuted for drug offenses, thus reducing the strain on the criminal justice system and reducing the number of people incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses.

Tax revenue and economic benefits: 

Legalization can provide a new source of tax revenue for governments, which can be used to fund education, healthcare, and other public services. Additionally, legalizing marijuana can create jobs and stimulate economic activity in the legal marijuana industry.

Consumer protection: 

Legalization can ensure that marijuana is regulated and tested for safety and purity, protecting consumers from potentially harmful contaminants.

Reduced use of other drugs: 

Some studies suggest that legalizing marijuana could lead to a reduction in the use of other drugs, as people may be less likely to turn to more dangerous substances if they have access to legal marijuana.

While there are some potential drawbacks and risks like possible health effects, the benefits of the legalization of cannabis are still being studied and debated. With more and more states legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it is clear that its outcomes are undeniable.

    In this case, the truth is that it makes me a topic of interest since we are using it both pharmaceutically and civilly and it would really be very useful in our daily lives.

Global Warming by Gabriel Navarrete

  Global Warming Global warming is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's average temperature increases due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, trap the sun's heat and retain it on Earth, causing the global temperature to rise. This rise in temperature has serious and often irreversible consequences for our planet. Melting glaciers and rising sea levels can inundate coastal areas and cause loss of habitats and biodiversity. In addition, rising temperatures can lead to droughts, forest fires and more intense storms, affecting food production and people's quality of life. Global warming is mainly caused by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It is important that we take steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and protect our planet. We can do this by adopting more sustainable lifestyle practices, such as using public transportation or bicycles, eat...
