Tobacco

The answer to your question Mr Corbin is no, tobacco should n0t be legal under any circumstances. Tobacco gets you addictive right from the start, which is just sick. If a person tries it once or twice they might do it for the rest of their lives. What if that person wasnt informed of the harms of tobacco, because all the warning says is something about causing harm to pregnant woman. Which is serious, but guys might read that and just make a stupid joke about them not being pregnant and then start smoking. Tobacco is the number 1 preventable cause of death and disease in our country. This should say something to the millions of smokers out there. I realize that many people born in the 60s and earlier did not know the risks of tobacco when they started smoking it, even my dad and mom didnt. Now the tobacco industry is making it alot harder to quit by putting very addictive materials into each cigarette. Sometimes when I'm annoyed with my parents and the amount that they smoke ill print out anything from the list of chemicals in tobacco, or the list of diseases and problems you can get from it and post them all over our house. This doesnt make my parents very happy, but atleast they know what theyre dealing with.
Now there are all kinds of act being put into place where you cannot smoke in a public place, i think this is a great idea and should be enforced everywhere. I always hated going to restuarants and smelling that nasty smoke, i think its much more enjoyable now without the smoking sections, because usually the only things dividing them were just a flimsy two inch wall, which is not effective enough for me.
So in general tobacco should be illegal, but im sure that congress isnt going to pass any act like that at this point in time, but ill be happy the day they do.

To young too be a dad, (and the wrong gender)

1. Guys feel pressure mainly from other guys to have sex. They talk about it everyday. In average men think of sex/women every 7seconds. Also they get it from movies. In the movie/tv business you hear the phrase "sex sells" because nowadays it really does. When guys go to see Transformers theyre not just going to see Optimis Prime, theyre also there to see Megan Fox.

2.Girls are pressured alot less from their friends than guys are. Girls dont care about sex as much as guys do also.
They feel the pressure from their boyfriends mostly. Like i said before, guys think about sex every 7 seconds, so if a girl is with her boyfriend for 2 hours, the guy thought about sex about 1,028 times. They also feel that they have to have sex with their boyfriends to keep their boyfriends interested, which if they have to do that, that guy is stupid.

3.When under the influence of alcohol/drugs girls and guys are more open to do things they usually wouldnt, including sex. The girl might be willing at the time, but its likely she wont remember it that way in the morning.

4.Actively is much better because that way people cant force you into doing anything you do not want to do. When it comes to someone asking you to have sex with them, you need to be able to make your own decision about it, not let the person pressure you into doing it. I make my own decisions, i do not let anyone tell me how to think.

Legalize Drugs, Yes or No?

The drug war in America has been raging on for many years, it is still a problem even though most of the counterculture children are adults now. That generation was looked at like one of the first heavy users of drugs across the nation. Since the 70's people have been trying to get marijuanna legalized all over the world. In some countries it is legal, but it is abundant everywhere. People feel that this drug isnt really a drug, because it is grown in nature, unlike meth and cocaine. Marijuanna is compared to alcohol because people feel they have the same consquences. If alcohol is legal, marijuanna should be also. You hear of thousands of deaths from drunk driving, but you do not hear of many from driving under the influence of marijuanna. Even though alcohol is limited to people over the age of 21 (atleast in the US) there is still many cases of underage drinking. Many people feel that marijuanna is a gateway drug, which in many cases it is. But other drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin are much more serious drugs than marijuanna.
You may become addicted to any of those 3 drugs on your first try, your body literally becomes dependent on them. This is a serious problem also associated with smoking/chewing tobacco. Even though tobacco doesnt for say get you "high" it is still a serious problem. Im sure there are drugs addicts all over the world thinking that if they can get addicted to cigarettes and its legal, they can get addicted to heroin and that should be legal also.
I feel that all the drugs that are illegal now, should stay illegal. Even though i wish it would stay that way, i feel that in my lifetime marijuanna will be legal in certain situations besides just in medicine. I think that alcohol should be considered to be illegal again, just like prohibition. But that caused such an uproar in the countr that im betting it will not happen again.

Environmental Pharmaceutical Pollution Blog

The earth has been contaminated by these sort of chemicals for decades, but it is just recently coming into the lime light. The types of chemicals being released are things like pestisides, flame retardents, personal care products and mostly pharmaceutical materials. In a study taken in 2002 done in bodies of water, mostly in lakes there were %10 ibuprofen, steriods/hormones were also 16% present in the water. This is a dangerous amount for the fish in the water, and the animals who drink out of the water. Also the same study, but now taken on land showed that wild geese are resistant to many perscription drugs because of the contamination.
These medicines are entered when people throw them in the trash, and flush them down the toilet. Waste water treatment centers do not treat medicinal compounds. So this usually gets passed back into water supplies.
A common drug that is put back into the environment is anti depressants. These anti depressants cause unnatural breeding cycles for many animals because it changes the amount of serotonin in their bodies, which regulates their breeding cycle. In humans if even small amounts are found in a pregnant womans bloodstream it maty cause her fetus to grow irregulary and cause many other problems.
So in conclusion these drugs should be managed by informing people on how to dispose of medicine properly and not let them contaminate the environment any further.
