Marijuana is one of the best natural fibers in the world. It can be used to make paper much more efficiently than trees. It can be used to make methanol (a clean-burning alcohol fuel). While 700,000 people are arrested for marijuana possession per year, none die from marijuana use. Marijuana causes very limited health problems. Yet, tobacco, which kills 400,000 a year, and alcohol, which can cause severe liver damage and brain damage, are both legal. Neither have any beneficial use for society. Think about it for a minute, people. Don't let the government tell you what you can and can't do to

Curfews have no place in our legal systems. These are violations of our Constetutional Rights. They take away the parents right to deciede how to raise their children. And they take away the child's right to gather peacefully, and to travel. Many people think curfew are good, but it's just a way for the law to keep track of us. Curfews shouldn't exist in our legal system, and it should be left up to the parents to deciede what time they want their children home.

well, i think that the curfew is good, i mean for some it kinda stinks b/c if you just wanna go visit a friend or something you can't after 10p.m it kind of makes u feel more restricted and that what teens hate most is the feeling they can't do something. there probably gonna do it anyways.but to keep danger of the steets its a good idea.
