Hello there Durgs Discussion!
I am writing my Senior paper on legalization of Marijuana and could use some assistance!
It must be 6 pages long.
I've run out of ideas and have been stuck for some time as the paper currently is.
I've managed to cram this into 3 1/2 pages:
- How long it's been used
- It's different street names
- how only 14 states allow it for medical use
- It's medicinal value
- it's risks
- it's side effects
- Religions that used/use it
- What religion is the largest consumer
- The main chemical in the drug
- How easily it's accessed
- How much we can make from taxing the shit
- That it's not too addictive
- How alcohol is much worse than weed
- How we waste so much money holding people in jail for a petty crime such as possession of marijuana.
- How we waste so much money fighting against the illegal distribution of marijuana.
- How little inflation effects marijuana
If anyone has any suggestions/light information I would greatly appreciate the assistance.
Pfft you never post in here. and happen to be writing a paper about drugs and you think durgs discussion has info on that?
what do you think we do? use drugs?
brb smoking more
talk about its industrial uses, industrial hemp can be used for paper, ethanol gas, and as concrete. Its also more efficiently made into paper, and more environmentally friendly. You can have at least a page or more explaining how its better than current building materials, papers, and fuels.
A risk I know of; by way of experience in a relative. I'd say predisposing illnesses like schizophrenia, possibly bi polar and maybe some others can be uprooted earlier than they normally would have come about. I'm saying predispostion as in family line, my dad's side has quite the lineage of mental illness

explain that it isn't addictive but people with addictive personalities shed a bad light on it or the teen rehabs for weed, or any age but mostly teens because they have a bigger impact on the social media, are too leniant on the occupants accessing the facility because they just dont want jail time.
You could talk about the different forms it is taken in? I also remember seeing a documentary on marijuana that featured an israeli doctor who was testing using pure thc on subjects instead of medical marijuana because he viewed it as more accurate that way, you could try find out about him.
Yeah, i'm good on names and crap. I was just telling you what I talked about already.
It's incredibly easy to access
I could text a multitude of people who, if they don't already have it on hand, will willingly go at that moment to re-up on their supply. Even if they weren't planning on it till say wednesday or something.

Oh sorry I thought that list for some reason was what you wanted to ask about lol
Didn't even bother to read below the first line for some reason. Hence what my first post is like

you can use this as a source
But yeah I'm sure you could do at least a page or two alone on the rehab situation and the loads of ways you can actually do it. smoke it, bake it, vape it and loads more. Just drag it out somehow.

or he could you know not look like a pothead and talk about crime and drug policy.
just an idea.

oh and yeah, its less addictive than fucking caffeine, so i consider that not addictive at all, more like habit forming.
You don't need to be labeled a pothead to know this stuff.

or look like less of a pothead and talk about industrial hemp
you dont need to be but you will be if write 6 pages solely on use of marijuana, and depending on the teacher that might not fly too well.

its just that there is so much more than the medicinal and 'getting high' aspect to cannabis, and it always gets overlooked.
If it doesn't go well it'd be really subjective to not look at the composition and actual quality of the paper and just the fact that it's about weed it's bad. If it's an informative paper then that would be information to explain in said paper.
If it's a personal paper then yeah, probably not, but it sure seems like the purpose is to inform.
Plus it's a senior paper, I'm just assuming this is highschool, who cares just argue to the staff it was unjust or something.
or you could skip all that and talk about more informative and meaningful topics than 3 pages of different ways to get high
i said a page to two pages on two different subjects not 3 on just getting high.
Maybe talk about new potent varities of weed that have been linked to psychosis?

man you a busta, what's up with that link D:
[QUOTE=noahh;33564920]Maybe talk about new potent varities of weed that have been linked to psychosis?

But all that potent means is that you need less to get the same effects so it would be all weed that would be linked to psychosis.
It's only considered a gateway drug due to prohibiton, because drug dealers will offer different kinds of drugs to smokers to make more money, look at the prohibiton of alcohol.
You should be able to get most of your points from The Union and When We Grow. :v:
Just watch The Union:The Business Behind Getting High.
Everything you need to know is in that 104 minute documentary.
I'd talk about the uses the ancients came up with for weed. It was a cure-all with thousand and thousands of documents uses. There is a big bible of uses for weed, you can find it through google.

This should be enough to get me through the finish! If you would like to keep throwing ideas/suggestions at me, go ahead! I'll check up on this thread later.
SHOUT OUT TO Cpn Crunch21!
senior papers on marijuana are the worst papers to write. its equally as stupid as writing on abortion.
none of the legalization arguments are new or original. they know exactly how your paper will begin and end. every single one of your points have been discussed and rehashed for years and its simply boring and pathetic to read one of these as a teacher. discuss a topic that actually means something to you (not drugs..).
get creative please, your a senior. btw, title is really lame. Not trying to be a dick, but that's how it is.
