            In the article marijuana law just creates criminals by Hakeem Jeffries. This article is about how it might be against the law but it costs too much money to arrest everyone who is found with only a little amount of marijuana because it wastes less. This article includes opinions one states that “this is fundamentally unfair” by Hakeem Jeffries. Another quote says “a majority of an arrest happen in certain neighborhoods” also by: Hakeem Jeffries. I think everyone caught with a little amount of marijuana should not be arrested because it’s wasting money but I also think you should not   just be able to smoke marijuana because it can lead to heavier drugs that mess up your life.  This article reminds of a documentary on lifetime where a young boy was addicted to marijuana and smoked it for three years and he was in and out of rehab and know can’t get back to his normal self. This article made me think more deeply about the harms that marijuana causes and maybe marijuana should stay illegal because people should always be on point with what they’re doing. This article made me wonder about how much money is spent on things that’s not really important and marijuana is bigger issue than people think.
