Deviance and Criminality Marijuana use represents a type of contested deviant behavior

I do not think marijuana use is a deviant act. However, I think of marijuana in the same way I think of cigarettes, I don't love the fact that people do it, I would rather they did not smoke, unlike cigarettes, I do not think it needs to be made illegal because it does have medicinal properties.

I have these feelings about marijuana because I know the facts. I know marijuana can be addictive, however not as addictive as tobacco or alcohol. I understand that smoking weed does come with health risks but smoking weed has never been definitively linked to a death.

Some of the most common arguments against marijuana are the fact that it is an addictive substance, it comes with numerous health risks, and consumption can lead to a form of psychosis,

Some arguments for marijuana legalization include it's medicinal properties and the fat that it is nearly impossible to overdose on marijuana. One would need to smoke 1500 lbs of marijuana in order to overdose. 

These perspectives are indicative of a pluralistic society because there are numerous groups with differing opinions on the subject of marijuana.

Labeling theory has a great influence on one’s personality. Yes, I have been negatively labeled. When believing something that is precious and valuable but practically it is threatened then negative labelings are happening. It creates great obstacles in sustainable development. Primary Deviance doing the majority of the people in society and have a minor effect on the social relationship and social status. In primary deviance, most people violate social rules and regulations. For example, smoking in a public place or recreation majurina is a crime legally but society's point of view is a normal and minor issue. It doesn't take into consideration seriously. In secondary Deviance, people behavior labeling or deviant in such a way that it majority impacts on social status and social relationship. It is broadly remarked as a crime. In secondary deviance, negative labeling can be caused by future disruptive behavior or such kind deviant behavior in secondary Deviance. I don't internalize such kind deviant behavior. May be temporary we show some deviant behavior with circumstances but never internalized or make it permanent. I reject the label that I received. The power of labeling is to develop social interaction and Language, symbol, make understand the root causes of negative or deviant behavior.
