Which topic would you write about & opinions needed?
I have to write a research essay for my AP English class. This is the first one I've ever written so I'm not sure which topic would be best.
I have narrowed it down to:
Abortion with the subtopics of:
- should girls under the age of 18 have to have parental consent before having an abortion?
- is abortion morally wrong or right?
- should abortion be legal?
OR
The legalization of marijuana.
Which sounds more interesting? Also, add some opinions of your own please? I'd love to know what the general public feels about each of these topics.
My other choice was illegal aliens & I don't find that interesting at all. /:

LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA.
Here are good reasons as to why:
-It can be used as a medicine. (Muscle pains, cancer, ect.)
-It would be regulated by the government and put dealers out of business.
-It would be harder for minors to get ahold of.
-You cannot overdose on Marijuana unless it is laced.
(Which it wouldn't be if it was regulated)
or if you smoke three times your body weight in thirty minutes.
(Which is impossible, because you would pass out first.)
-Marijuana is not addictive.
-It can help control mental disorders like anxiety, depression, A.D.H.D., and insomnia.
-It is less dangerous and harmful than legal prescription drugs, tobacco, and alcohol.
-There are more people in jail for Marijuana than actual criminals.
-People will still use Marijuana whether or not it is legal.
-Native Americans and other cultural groups used Marijuana as a spiritual and religious blessing.
-It does not make anyone violent, angry, or destructive.
-The government would make so much money if they taxed it.
-Hemp can be used for so many things, and it's cheaper than using other man-made products.
-It is a natural plant.
-Marijuana can inspire people to use their creativity to levels they could not while sober.
-Marijuana can help you connect with nature, other people, and even yourself.
-I believe crime would go down and there would be more peace in America.
Source(s): I do smoke a lot of Marijuana and believe it should be legalized, for the reasons I listed above. - .Lv 710 years ago
Legalization of marijuana has some good political arguments and facts.
Abortion to me always gets too far into the question of morality, which is subjective.

The abortion one sounds more interesting because a lot of people go through that. If I were to read it I would want to know how abortion works, statistics, and several experiences of real people going through abortion. Good luck on your paper!

marijuana. personally, i don't care if it becomes legal or not, seeing as i don't use it. but if it happened to become legal it wouldn't make a difference to me.
