‘Governments should legalize the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana rather than criminalize or decriminalize it.’”

Matrix: Here is a matrix for this assignment. If you can construct a better matrix, use that one:

1. Sentence 1: define what criminalization by governments of the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana is.

2. Sentence 2: define what decriminalization by governments of the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana is.

3. Sentence 3: define what legalization by governments of the recreation use of small amounts of marijuana is.

4. Sentences 4-6: given your definitions of the three options governments have in terms of what they can do about the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana (sentences 1-3), present a reasoned response (argument) to the claim that governments should legalize the recreational use of small amounts of marijuana as opposed to criminalizing or decriminalizing it.

5. Sentence 7: summarize your paragraph in one sentence and exit gracefully from the paragraph.
