legalizing pot = stressing me out

NeoTifa · 10-31-2007, 06:31 PM

im supposed to be writing this argumentative essay in english, and i was going to do legalizing marijuana. i dont do it, but i still think it should be legalized. i dont know which way to go with it, cuz he said just saying to legalizing it would be too broad and take way too much time. most people who write the paper for pot say legalize for medicinal use. i was thinking more crime control and bootlegging and stuff, but i guess the statistics are really against me.

and there was the religious aspect of it too (peace pipe

). could you guys maybe nudge me in the right direction? please? or write my paper for me

(just for you shlup)

In my experience, English teachers hate it when students choose to write about legalizing marijuana. I'm sure your teacher has read every possible angle on the subject and is bored to tears by it.

You're likely better off choosing a topic you're more certain on instead of having someone else establish an angle for you. What's the point of choosing your own topic if you want someone to dictate what you write?

Instead of writing that legalizing marijuana would help society, since the statistics you found say that crime and stuff like that isnt helped, you should make the topic that Making marijuana illegal infringes on the freedoms of US citizens, and therefore it should not have been made illegal in the first place.

Writing a draft would help, so that Eoffers can revise your ideas so far.

thats the point, i need to know what to write about. and 9/10th of the people are actually doing gay marriage.

we have a set list. i was thinking about harsher punishment for sexual preditors or censorship, but i thought the pot one would be better

censorship would probably be a better topic right now since we're having our first amendment rights removed daily.

Just use the angle that legalizing Marijuana will lower the crime rate which it will. There isn't much to counter that. Marijuana has almost no connection to violence. Alcohol is much more volatile.

well, i just got a stoner off the brink of suicide, and my paper is already pretty much late, so im just gonna do censorship. im kinda against marijuana in general now. sry

Are you sure it was the marijuana that made him suicidal?

Anyway, I think I would do censorship. Or Marijuana legalization.
