LM3

In this module of chapters 7 & 8, I have learned through the discussion postings that there is still much more needed discussion on the restrictions placed on drugs and alcohol. In my posting I made reference to the legalization of marijuana when compared to alcohol, which is already legal and more deadly. Yet in another posting a classmate insinuated that pregnant women shouldn’t be served alcohol in restaurants. This shows that the argument still goes from one end of the spectrum of extreme to the other. It begs the question, should there be more or less restrictions on drugs? If there are more restrictions, it could impose on certain individual rights and are they worth giving up to ensure the rest of society is responsible? Or should the responsibility be placed solely on themselves?  If we lessen the restrictions put in place already, can it help society? I feel that the restrictions imposed should be applied to the type of drug it is. And research on these drugs is necessary and I don’t feel that it should be as restricted among medical professionals to perform research. The next cure could be found anywhere.

I feel that I put in the needed effort for this module. I read the chapters and spaced out the time I spent on this class instead of doing it in one sitting. It took more time but my grade is better. I have quit my job and I’m not happy about it but I’m putting more effort into my classes and I hope to improve my grade before the end of the semester.
