Legalization of Marijuana :
8 pages in length. Although the writer of this essay does not
necessarily endorse the use of marijuana, (s)he agrees with the
argument that it is politically-incorrect to outlaw it in the United
States. Very good points are made from the history of
marijuana's existence in the country as well as the similar case
of alcohol prohibition during the 1920's. The writer feels that
the FDA should regulate the drug so that smokers do not risk
using pot that is sneakily mixed with other substances. Medical
evidence of marijuana's comparatively mild effects is presented
and the report concludes that the negative impacts of marijuana's
ban are far worse than those that would prevail if it were
allowed to be sold openly and legally. Bibliography lists 4

An Argument for the Legalization of Marijuana # 2 :
A shorter, 5 page version of Marijle2.wps, in which the writer is
primarily concerned with the facts that : (1) there exists no solid
argument against the legalization of marijuana and (2)
outlawing the drug has created the same negative impacts that
alcohol prohibition did during the 1920's. It is agreed that
marijuana does indeed pose some seriously harmful side effects,
but that these are not necessarily any worse than those produced
by cigarette smoking-- a very legal activity (assumably because
of the industry's economic contribution, etc;) Bibliography lists

Jones of St. Paul, Minnesota found a cross burning in their yard.

specifically makes bias-motivated cross burning a crime. The
