Identify for Which Claims, If Any, Support Has Been Given

Essay

Identify for which claims, if any, support has been given in the following passage; and state in your own words the reasons that have been offered for these claims.
"I don't know whether to be amused or annoyed. The U.S. government spends millions of dollars rounding up herb farmers. Ridiculous! Deaths from alcohol abuse are overwhelming. Surely this is a bigger problem. I doubt even a single death from smoking pot and driving has been reported. And the idea that smoking pot leads to heroin is nonsense. Anyone who is going to become an addict will do so regardless of what they have around."
