interview - 3

This interview I conducted on a person who had served with the Houston police department. This interview gave me some interesting information but also a lot to think about. What he said was that when he saw the effects of pot on people it was similar to alcohol such as getting addicted to it and he speculates that if it were to become legal the problems that you would see with it would be very very similar to issues with alcohol such as driving while under the influence of it and he also says that the only real problems with it is because its illegal he expanded by saying that people not only  have to worry about being arrested because of it but because its not regulated taxed or anything they don't have to abide by any regulations so they can do what ever they want to do to it  he also said that some people will just sell you crushed dark green leaves and it looks exactly like it but also he said that you don't know what conditions the pot has been kept in when you buy it such as it could have been kept in formaldehyde and when you smoke that it isn't good for your lungs at all. He also said that he said that marijuana was a waste and still is a waste of the polices time and effort and that it wasn't actually that big of a problem like other drugs such as cocaine meth etc he added to this with the comment of "I never had been called to a persons house who had been smoking pot and had a problem" he only had problems when there was people selling it and he also had problems when people were on something else. The next comment surprised me he said that he would rather have prohibition of alcohol back and have pot legal because you can tell when someones high but its harder to see if  someone is drunk because there are four types of drunk and people who are drunk can be unpredictable but someone who's stoned you know that they are just going to sit there and cooperate with you because they don't have a care in the world.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
