How Legal Is Marijuana In The United States? Here’s Five Ways It Is!

Washington and Colorado in the United Sates were the first states to make marijuana a legal drug. Well, with the changes, restrictions and other things involving pot, marijuana isn’t exactly and completely legal in the United States. However, here are five things we’re pretty sure makes it legal to own pot in the United States.

 

1.    Over 21-years-old? You Could Buy Marijuana!

If you’re over 21, you could buy marijuana legally in government-regulated pot-shops in the country.

2.    Alaska, DC and Oregon Allows Smoking

As long as you don’t smoke it in public and the government irons out the troubles, you could smoke marijuana in these places without fearing the fuzz.

3.    Public Smoking of Marijuana is Not Allowed

4.    Medical Marijuana is different from recreational marijuana.

Medical Marijuana is actually legal in 23 US states.

5.    Employers Have The Right To Fire Cannabis Users

Despite laws helping marijuana become semi-legal, employers who find their employees smoking pot inside work premises or are quite sober from marijuana usage can still fire them at will. Of course, even if employees fail at a drug test due to marijuana, they could still get fired.

Why Would Uganda Want an Anti-Gay Law?

The issues of LGBTs have always made the front pages of newspapers and the headlines of television news networks. It is not because they are sellable, but they are the “major” type of minority in the world, a symbol of its oppression. Most people will view them and compare the treatment to them as of blacks during the slavery years of the western world. But then again, they are also human, and they deserve all the right to live in harmony and protected by law.

It may leave some to question why Uganda and other countries, including those with insurgents and rebellion, want to have a law that would restrict gays and lesbians from becoming a part of society in an official manner. Today, Uganda’s LGBT’s community is rejoicing because a law proposed by the Ugandan government itself the Ugandan laws have overturned.

LGBTs in Uganda had hidden away from the view of authorities and even their own “straight” colleagues because of the possible punishment that they can be jailed for life. The law was implemented for six months until the Ugandan courts have rejected the law on August 1.

The law imprisoned one for being gay.

There are many possible explanations as to why Uganda, and extremist groups want to abolish the appearance of LGBTs.

One is that it destroys tradition. Most extremists and fundamentalists are against western ideals and teachings because it destroys their respective identities.

The second part is that it is not part of a religious teaching. Islamist fighters and jihadists have stressed out this fact against the gays and lesbians in their community, whom they treat less than human in many instances.
