Topic #2: Do you think recreational marijuana should be legal or illegal? (Note: we are talking about personal use, NOT medical
use.)

Will give 50 points!!

Yes.

Explanation:

Marijuana is not only helpful for medical use, it also helps sleeping, improves appetite (munchies), and helps people struggling with depression and anxiety. its difficult to get a card for medical unless you have certain illnesses or impairments. Marijuana can be beneficial for a lot of people. (this is an opinionated answer, though Marijuana really does help with a lot.) Different people do have different experiences though.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
