Freedom of expression is a right that relates to the legalization of marijuana. Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are ways some people express their emotions in life today. Although this example is privilege, people associate using theses substances as a right that they have. People who use marijuana deserve this “right” as well as people who use other harmful substances. Using marijuana correlates to the first amendment as does alcohol and tobacco. However not everyone agrees that this is a right people should have. The government is obviously a group of people who disagree that using marijuana should be a right. Government expresses their feelings about marijuana by enforcing the laws put into place which punish people who use and possess the substance.

- Originally from Wimberley, TX, I am now located in Thousand Oaks, CA, where I’m attending Cal Lutheran. I’m a Criminal Justice major and enjoy listening to music and participating in all types of water sports. I am very passionate about protecting our civil liberties as U.S. Citizens. I believe government should not have the right to regulate what we ingest in our bodies, as long as there are no negative effects towards others in doing so. I advocate the Legalization of Marijuana for both medicinal and recreational use.
