Marijuana law just creates criminals

      The article “Marijuana law just creates criminals” talks about how a majority of blacks and Latinos getting arrested because of how they be having the possession of marijuana. The article also talks about the consequences you can be at risk for if you sell or have the possession of marijuana. The article also talks about what would happened if the cops caught you.

   For example the text had stated, “The majority of whom were black and Latino at a considerable judicial and financial cost. Another example from the article is, “New York City spends about $75 million  every year on arresting people for recreational marijuana possession. Another example is, “A majority of these arrests happen only in certain neighborhoods. Indeed, compounding the injustice is the fact that 85% of the people arrested are black and Latino. Another example from the article is “Yet studies consistently show that younger and affluent whites use marijuana in equal if not greater. My last example is , “But what many people don’t know is that the state decriminalized this offense more than 30 year ago, making private possession of less than grams of marijuana a violation punishable by a $100 fine.”

   I think they should just make marijuana illegal because the cops is wasting their time on arresting these people, when they can just out their energy in something more meaningful. Also because more  people use marijuana now to day.  Some people also use the drug for medical reasons. I think they also should because more  people  wouldn’t  get arrested and everybody wouldn’t be sitting in jail.

        Will they ever illegalize marijuana in New York? Why wasn’t any white people getting arrested? Why only blacks and Latinos was getting arrested? Was these people also selling marijuana?
