Wk 7 What legal issues concern you most

Well, as for my perspective of legal concern, Marijuana is a worldwide interest…well U.S interest. I believe that marijuana shouldn’t be legalized because it is better to get it from streets than to get it from the store. One its embarrassing to get from the store because you don’t want people eyeing you and staring at you saying you smoke marijuana, it’s not pleasant to for people to look at you like that, and another thing is that people aren’t going to be used to as fast enough to the legalization of marijuana because it used to be illegal. Second thing about legalizing marijuana is that it would have to be taxed, so something that used to cost on the streets which is about ten dollars or something (estimating from surveys) is now twenty dollars in the store plus tax which would cost about a whopping total of thirty six something dollars and I don’t think anybody would want that. Especially the drug dealers, they are one of the successful people on the streets….well kind of, but anyway if marijuana was legalized the drug dealers would totally be out of a job because weed (as they call it) is now legal. Next thing you know they wouldn’t have anything to turn to and their last resort is to get a gun and shoot people, and steal their money, or just rob a store out of cold blood, the possibilities are endless, only because they need something to do, to raise and keep the family they have, like I said earlier they totally would not have a reason to live anymore…well a reason for selling weed. Plus the crime rate would go up and no one would want that right? To end this engaging fun statement I say don’t legalize marijuana because it’s going to cause a worldwide pandemic like the swine flu.

Wk 6 EOC Illicit? What do you think?

What do I think about Illicit? Well, as for my perspective of Illicit it is not a good thing to do because you’re selling fake bags, clothes, drugs, DVD’s and more. You are taking away the companies that made those materials and selling it worth less than the profit. And I know those people who sells fake saying they need a job that will provide their family, which I can see in their point of view. I’ll say this when I went to the Philippines, there were a lot of black market that sells fake bags. And guess what I was one of the customers who bought a bag from them. I knew it was a fake bag but I could not afford to buy those expensive bags in America. I didn’t care it was fake to me as long I have a brand name bag that’s all that matter to me at the time.
By watching the video on Illicit, I was as shock on what I saw and heard. Now that I saw that video I’m very afraid that when I go to a foreign country and I go to a black market, I will be paranoid. I don’t want to get caught for something that I want to buy. Any who, throughout the video I was amazed to see how foreign people get transport to America. They really hide their way to get pass the border line it was crazy to see that. They are very desperate to go to America and I understand that, they want to have free life. Also hearing that some country does some illegal transport of kidneys, that is crazy. Understanding those people do for a living, is trying to make ends meets, but without any paper work or something saying you have the right to sell brand names is another thing.
