Marijuana legalization
When we talk about legalizing marijuana, there are many economic, health, and social issues to analyze. This text separates the legalization in two. One is the economic and the other is the social part.
When talking about economic, we have to know that the battle on marijuana is a very expensive one. On the other way we have to know that the price of a unit of marijuana is $8.60 on the street while its cost of production is only $1.70. In a free market, a $7 profit for a unit of marijuana would not last for long.This would make that dealers dissapear.
On the other hand, in the social aspect, he thinks that our kids shouldnt grow with that freedom of doing what ever they wan`t.
In my opinion I think that the legalization is going to be something good to the economy but a very bad thing in the social aspect that is the most important thing.

A big lie (Number 11)
It was the year 2003 and I was in my junior year in high school. The classes were finishing and I had to sit for five exams.
I wanted to go on holidays with my friends but I knew that if I told my mom that I had to sit for five exams she would not want me to go.
I usually don`t lie to my mon but this time was different, I NEEDED to go on holidays with my friends.
When I arrived that day to my house I looked at her and told that I only had to sit for one exam so she told me that there was no problem and that I could go with my friends.
But one week later she misteriously found out that I wasn`t telling the true.
I couldn`t go on holidays with my friends and I had to spend the holidays studying day and night.
That was the biggest and worst lie I ever told.

Paula
It was a nice day to go out with my friends so I called Jhon and we set up everything to go to "The Abasto", Jhon`s favourite place.
He picked me up at eleven and we went to this pub called "Oswald". We started drinking and a gorgeous lady asked my name.
-Felipe and yours?- I told her
-My name is Paula- she said
We dance all night till dawn like two wild beast, until she asked me to take her to her house so I agreed.
We arrived to her house, she kiss me and told me that we will soon meet.
I woke up the other day with a terrible hangover and went to my car to look for my cigarretes and I found her jacket so I decided to take it to her house.
I couldn`t remember very well until I saw this little chapel and everything came back to my head. I continue driving and finally I arrived to her house.
I knock on the door and a lady asked me.
-What do you want??- She asked me very angry.
-Sorry I just wanted to give this to Paula- I said her showing her jacket.
The lady suddenly turn into white and told me that Paula was dead for more than 10 years.
-Lady I`m sorry but that is impossible. I have been with her last night and she forgot this jacket in my car.-
She started crying and told me that she was wearing that same jacket the day she died.
Ten years passed since this event and I still have nigthmares with Paula and her jacket
THE END
