Original:

Marijuana is an herb that is used both medicinally and recreationally. It has been used by humans for thousands of years for such purposes. In the 20^th century, many countries banned the drug. Recently, there has been an emergent movement to legalize it in the United States. Marijuana was banned in the United States with the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970. Under this act, marijuana is a schedule I drug (the most dangerous of the five schedules), along with heroine, ecstasy, magic mushrooms, and LSD. The surge started in 2010 with Proposition 19. This ballot referendum would have legalized possession and growth of marijuana in California. It didn’t pass, but it showed the growing movement to legalize pot. Recently, a revolutionary poll by Gallup showed that a plurality of Americans support the legalization of marijuana (Newport). Ironically, this consensus is not represented in Congress, with no congressmen coming out in support of marijuana. Even more biting, the President of the United States has admitted to smoking marijuana (Seelye). There is a stark contrast in the will of the American people and their representation in congress (Eckholm).

Revised:

Martin Luther King Jr. said that “One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” That is just what millions have done; they have disobeyed a marijuana laws that are unjust and unconstitutional.
