because i got high

I really didn't get high.. but because some of my friends have, is the reason I choose to write my Classical Argument on why marijuana should not be legalized. On the day of class when we had to bring in 3 topics we would be interested in writing our argument on I wrote down why marijuana should not be legalized kind of as a joke. When I got to class I told Anton my ideas he said he was going to write his on why it should be legalized, so we decided to battle and see whose paper got the better grade. Although he backed out of the battle ( i think he was afraid of losing) I stuck to my idea and when a good friend of mine told me that last year he wrote a paper on pro-marijuana, that was conformation to stick with my topic.

Sadly, I know a lot of people who do, and have smoked weed. I was surrounded by it all the time in high school. The days when some of my friends would come to class high it was sad to watch them. They were no fun, they would sleep the whole time, not do any work and their grades would drop. Two of my very good friends who are still my very good friends today, have gotten in a lot of trouble for being under the influence and possession of marijuana. They have both spent a night in the slammer and one even went to rehab. All of that just for the feeling of getting high. Stupid if you ask me.

One thing I have a sure knowledge of after writing this paper, getting high really isn't as cool as people, music, and movies etc. make it seem to be. live above the influence!
