In Charles Gillan post titled Blog Assignment 7, Gillan
discusses the legalization of marijuana. In this post it is clear that the
intended audience is those in favor of the legalization of marijuana. He starts
the article stating that there is much more positives, rather than negatives when
taking a look at marijuana itself, but unfortunately does not give examples which
I was eager to hear. I did like the example used when discussing how the taxes
of marijuana could be a great attribution to the United States. Lastly, Gillan
talks about how alcohol and cigarettes have been sold for years and are still
legal, whilst marijuana has been proven to bring many health benefits it still remains
illegal. I completely agree with this statement, I believe the fact could have been
expanded and brought about a conversation of just WHY marijuana is illegal
while things such as alcohol and tobacco products still remain on the market. In conclusion, Gillan’s post
titled “Blog Assignment 7” was a short, statement that shows his bias, and what
he stands for as far as legalization of marijuana goes. Gillan does a well job
of sticking with his side and stating his reasonings on why marijuana should be
legal. This post could be more appealing to audiences rather than just those in
favor if Charles would have took a look and went a little bit more in depth
when discussing just why marijuana is illegal. Blog Assignment 7 was a post
that had a passionate tone and a strong opinion that I agree with and enjoyed reading.
