What I decided to write about for my Research paper is based off of an argument in Michael Moore's documentary that we watched in class called, Where To Invade Next. This documentary had a lot of deeper meanings behind every country, area he visited. I chose to pay close attention to a particular scene when Moore was visiting Portugal and interviewed police officers and doctors and asked them all the same question. " If I had 25 joints on me right now I would not be arrested?"
I was enlightened when I listened intuitively and thought deeply into a conversation that Moore and a doctor that he interviewed in Portugal. The conversation they had was shocking to Moore and especially to his viewers. It made me believe that based on the doctor having a similar opinion it could make for a good research paper.
This paper is not to confuse everyone to smoke marijuana but, to understand the meaning behind why people do it and that no criminal activity is linked to it but, we as American citizens grew up to believe the opposite. I hope this paper sways your opinion a little, as it did me, there is much more to life and putting a criminal price on privacy and creativity is something to be ashamed of.
Before reading this paper I would like you to take a look at this video clip of the doctor admitting he is a "drug user", listen and form your own opinion from the drugs he considers.
