Have you ever wondered why Vermont doesn't allow any drugs let alone marijuana, but in Colorado marijuana is legalized?

In Colorado marijuana became legalized in 2012 in the 64th Constitutional Amendment.You have to be 21 years or older in order to buy or sell it, and you can only use it on private property.
In certain towns or communities they can vote if that drug can be legal in their town.
In some towns people were aloud to open up a medical marijuana store which in my opinion is terrible because people can take abuse on the owners and tell them the fake amount they need/ want.
In Vermont drugs are not legal period. If you were to ever be caught with drugs you would be charged with automatic possession of that substance and would go to trial to prove their innocence and then to jail.

For Example In Colchester, VT these two men were coming out of a wooded area with two large backpacks. The officers had noticed so they checked it out and turns out they found over 6.5 pounds of marijuana in their possession. Soon after 44 year old Nam Le and 47 year old Frank Owen. were charged of felony possession of marijuana. This took place near Roosevelt Highway on Wednesday 9/24/14.
Another Example of punishment to possessing drugs is that an Ascutney man named Marshall Grange's home was raided on Friday and the police found heroin, cash and drug paraphernalia. This event had occurred 12 hours before his home had got raided and before this event he got convicted of felony of cocaine possession. He also contained heroin, cocaine and marijuana charges in Windsor County.
A reason to why our state doesn't legalize marijuana is because there would be to many risks with druggies and people who are willing to take advantage of others just for their benefit.
By not legalizing drugs it makes our economy a better place because we wont have to worry about over dosing as much as other states would have to.
I really liked how you contributed pictures into your blog with the information. I also like how you started it off with a question. I also like how you gave specific details about drugs. I also noticed your sources and i think that's a very good idea. I like how you write your blog because you do all different paragraphs instead of putting all the information in one huge paragraph. I feel like your idea is smart and really liked reading your work. I liked how you put detail in it and the whole thing in general was very good. Reading your blog has given me lots of ideas because it was really good. Good job
ReplyDeleteI liked how you started with a question and then you gave us the information to answer the question. I also liked how you added pictures to give us a visual of what you are writing. I think adding your sources is a good idea because if i wanted to do more research on this I could. Another thing i liked about your blog was that you did not just provide us with information, you gave us examples of things that have happened with marijuana in New Hampshire and Vermont.
