Constable Rhone is making a risky argument about the amount of hydroponics marijuana suppliers in the Winnipeg market based on the beliefs that the marijuana business has low barriers to entry, high profit margins, and the means, or tools, needed to produce marijuana can be easily acquired. Thus, Constable Rhone concludes that there must be more suppliers undiscovered in Manitoba. Constable Rhone is also making an argument of possibility because the assumed probability may be drastically different from reality. Constable Rhone is assuming that there must be more marijuana suppliers because marijuana easy to produce and sell. However, the argument is still incorrect even if Constable Rhone is right about the facts on producing and selling marijuana.
First of all, by appealing to logos, Gecelovsky supports his major claim by providing statistical evidence. It is a significant way to effectively use appropriate statistics and research because they are able to make the information more believable and objective. Gecelovsky reveals that British Columbia is the primary source of the marijuana industry to its market in America. For example, according to CCJS (2004), there are 79 per 100000 people participate in the farming of marijuana in British Columbia (p.208). Hence, the total monetary value is extremely high. Statistics shows that the annual value is $6 million Canadian dollars, and it worths 5% of provincial GDP in British Columbia (Mulgrew 2006, p.208). Also, the exports of marijuana crops to America in BC is fairly large, owning to the fact that more than 90% of marijuan...
He argues against the “war on drugs” claim that President Richard M. Nixon made twenty-five years ago, adds ethos, logos, and pathos to defend his argument, and uses a toulmin argument style. Friedman does however include a fallacy, “Though most customers do not live in the inner cities, most sellers do” (569). After adding this sentence in his paragraph, he does not further explain this or adds how he knows this information. He includes ethos, pathos and logos to defend his argument.
ABSTRACT: In his Logic, Pierre Gassendi proposes that our inductive inferences lack the information we would need to be certain of the claims that they suggest. Not even deductivist inference can insure certainty about empirical claims because the experientially attained premises with which we adduce support for such claims are no greater than probable. While something is surely amiss in calling deductivist inference "probabilistic," it seems Gassendi has hit upon a now-familiar, sensible point—namely, the use of deductive reasoning in empirical contexts, while providing certain formal guarantees, does not insulate empirical arguments from judgment by the measure of belief which we invest in their premises. The more general point, which distinguishes Gassendi among his contemporaries, is that the strength shared by all empirical claims consists in the warrant from experience for those claims we introduce in their support.
...ke of argument - that marijuana has no medical value whatsoever, despite the fact that it has a several thousand year history of medical use and that a prescription drug is made from its primary active ingredient. Let's assume - for the sake of argument - that all these medical marijuana patients are just fooling themselves. Even in that case, what would we stand to gain as a society by punishing sick people and putting them through an already overloaded criminal justice system? Even if they are deluding themselves- what benefit is there to prosecuting sick people?"
I want to bring to your attention of what in my mind is the absolute epitome of excellent policing.
John Constable was an English painter who worked in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. While not highly regarded by his contemporaries, Constable is today regarded as one of the leading English painters of the era. He was a part of the Romanticism movement and is most remembered for his landscape paintings. His paintings were usually of his home and surroundings and did not dram

...ed that legalization does not result in the best possible outcome; instead the best solution would be decriminalization of marijuana and legalization of medical marijuana. This solution is not only more feasible than complete legalization but also can be argued to be the more ethical solution. This is because it encompasses most of the advantages to legalization while reducing many of the risks substantially. The changes we will see in the future regarding this issue will “be shaped by whether the various experiments with legalization, decriminalization, and medical marijuana are deemed successes or failures” (Dionne and Galston). The nature of ethics clearly shows that there is never a definite course of action that should be taken, but through deliberation and analysis using the ethical theories, one is able to produce the best solution given the circumstances.

Although humans are the only animals that reason, we do not follow probability theory, a normative model, very closely in our everyday reasoning. The conjunction fallacy is one of the major errors that humans commit when dealing with problems that involve probability. Exemplified by Linda the feminist bank teller, this problem occurs when we assume that a conjunction of two premises is more likely than one or more of the premises alone. According to probability, the conjunction of two premises can never be more probable than either of the premises alone. In the Linda problem, the subjects are given a brief biographical description of Linda, followed by several statements about Linda's current occupation or activities. The subjects are then asked to rank the statements in order of most likely to least likely. The majority of the subjects choose "Linda is a bank teller and a feminist" (T and F) as more likely than "Linda is a bank teller." (F) (Barron, pg. 138)
So once again I posture the question why is marijuana illegal if it is not more dangerous than substances that are legal? The American government's investment in the war on drugs spans the spectrum of governmental offices. But the main recipient of funds from the budget is the Drug Enforcement Agency, located in the Department of Justice. Before I start quoting budget allocations, I would like to ask the reader to make a small assumption. The budget does not make distinctions between fighting marijuana and fighting cocaine, heroine, etc. So I would ask that the reader assume marijuana accounts for five percent of the budget's drug prevention allocations.
However this theory of ‘intrinsic risk’ does have some inadequacies specifically in relation to a section 2B offence.
As you know, Marijuana is the most frequently used illegal drug in the U.S causing a huge controversy in today’s society. I think that in some ways not legalizing marijuana could hurt us and our country. I know that you, as a member of the CALM, feel very strongly on your opinion of legalizing marijuana. The CALM does make very convincing arguments about crime, youth, and health with the use of marijuana. While some of these arguments can be persuasive to many, I think that my following propositions on crime, health, and medicinal marijuana also provide a swaying argument.
