In the article "Marijuana law just creates sriminals--CNN.com", they talk about people being arrested for the possession of marijuana.
    The article includes amny details and quotes that suooprt this. More than 50,000 pewople in 2011 were arrested in New York City for possessing small amounts of marijuana. The majority of whom were black and Latino--at a coniderable judical and finacial cost. New York City spends about $75 million every year on arresting people for recreational marijuana possession. A majority of these arrest happen only in certain neighborhoods. Indeed, compounding the injustice is the fact that 85% of the people arresred are black and Latino. Yet studies consistently show that younger and affluent whites use marijuana in equal if not greater numbers. The dcamage to police and community relations cannot be overstated. We should stop needlessly criminalizing tens of thousands of yourng people for doing the same thing.
     I think that they have a reasonable reason for why they arrest people for doing what they do. I think they should take the marijuana off the streets. It would be better because less things would be happening.
   This article reminded me of another article I was reading. They both were about getting rid of marijuana and the consiquences.
   This article made me think about all the things that do happen. Marijuana should just be banned period.
   I want to know how they made out with getting rid of marijuana.
