    Need a little help with a paper I'm writing

    The topic is should marijuana be legalized or not, why or why not? I just want to get yall's views on it for the good and bad sides of it.

    Should coke be legalized? Should acid be legalized? Should heroin be legalized?

    Seems like this paper is/has been written about 1,000,000 times now.

    I really don't see the point of the subject. If this is something YOU picked, I would choose a different subject and be more original. One that can have some substance and that people can be educated from.

    If this is a topic your school picked, I would drop-out and go to a different school.

    Yes, it should be. And with that said, I agree. This is a highly worn out subject and doing your paper on something else would serve you better.

    I started to write this paper in HS, but went with something else for above reasoning^,

    I was going to go off on a tangent about how cigarettes are worse for your health, and alcohol has caused 100% more automotive deaths than marajuana, (because there are no vehicular deaths on file that were caused by the driver being high.) you could go into the history of how marajuana came to be illegal through politics, etc

    I myself think it should be legalized. The money that the government will charge everyone for it would prolly get us out of debt.
    There is already a city that has a distribution facility there,
    the city was way behind on budget, so they took money from the weed tax. And i heard 17 million to balance budget!
    So there ya go!
    Alcohol and cigs are just as bad, but the sell that shit everyday!

    You need to choose a fairly unique angle on this beat to fucking death subject. Here let me help you get an A. People have argued this issue from a morals/tax revenue generating angle till the cows came home a died from the monotony of it all.

    Why not look at it from a religious angle? Many religions embrace mind altering substances. Separation of Church and State.
    You cannot call it a drug now can you as it exist in nature naturally. Does the Government ban its use because in reality they are banning stupid people? Should we then outlaw air?
    What I do in my house is my business is it not? What if I did not sell weed. Grew my own and only smoked on my property. What business is that of the Governments?

    Come at it from a left field perspective.

    Or come at it from the perspective of why it's a Schedule I narcotic when it's not physically addictive...

    If it was legalized it would encourage more (now bootlegers) to import yet more weed into the country without a tax stamp. Bootleg weed in a legalized environment would be a huge business. Bigger than today.

    Legalize it, tax the hell out of it, make it so expensive people cant afford it.............

    As far as religion goes, I dont think god gives a damn if something is legal or not. It is against his teaching to kill but hey we have had public executions and what not in the name of religion. God shmod.......

    I did not realize religion executed people. Here I though it was The State. Juries and judges etc. Mans law.

    Shit yeah. Tax it like alcohol, lower other people's taxes some. I wouldn't be affected if they leagalize it. (Don't smoke it. Don't care if others do, you don't rob others when you need more, like when on crack.)

    Read up on this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Stroup

    He and I inhaled together back when I was in college and he was a guest speaker. He knows more about this argument than all of us put together.

    It is one thing to write a paper about a topic but establishing credibility and a basis for your subject will usually earn a better grade than just having your own opinion. Make sure to use properly format your footnotes.
