Marijuana use is less harmful and risky than the use of alcohol, tobacco, and many nonprescription drugs. It is the safest (currently) illegal drug. Marijuana is much less addictive than tobacco or alcohol. This is one reason why most people that smoked it in the 70's were able to quit easily and not become addicts.\n\n2) Legalization of marijuana would cut down on crime. Because marijuana is illegal, it is difficult to manufacture, and is expensive, so addicts often have to turn to crime to sustain their habit. Legalization would drive the price down and alleviate this problem. Currently, much of the crime that goes on is a result of territory disputes between dealers. Legalization of marijuana would hurt organized crime as a whole. If marijuana was legal, the entire infrastructure of organized crime involved in its manufacturing and distribution would lose any reason for existence because marijuana would be legally produced and sold at a much cheaper price by legitimate companies. Police officers and suspected informants often face retribution by gangs and drug dealers. Legalization of marijuana would simply eliminate the need for dealers and put a stop to all this. Legalization would cut down on corruption in the law enforcement, the government. Officials will no longer be tempted into accepting bribes, and pocketing large amounts of drug money. \n\n3) Legalization would free up resources to fight legitimate crimes. It would end prison overcrowding, as many prisoners are sitting in jails for drug-related convictions. It would free up the court system and the police and allow them to concentrate on other crimes. Fighting marijuana-related "crimes" is costing us tax money. \n\n4) Legalizing marijuana would make it safer for users. One of the main reasons why marijuana is unsafe right now is because it isn't regulated, and its quality isn't monitored by anyone. When people buy marijuana, they don't know for sure what they're getting or where it's been.\n\n5) The government has no right to interfere with people's personal freedom as it is currently doing. Smoking marijuana only has the potential to hurt the health of the user. An individual should have the right to choose to use it. People are allowed to skydive, and drive cars. There are risks in those and many other activities, but the government isn't regulating them. Sure, smoking marijuana does put others at minimal risk through second hand smoke and the user's actions towards others, but this is also valid for alcohol and tobacco. This is why driving while stoned should remain illegal.

Be unique and let your writing speak for itself. Write a paper giving your opinion on a controversial matter or a hot topic in your school or community. Then either hang it up or pass it out at your school - campaigning with something like "Vote for me - School Journalist" or something similar to that.  Good Luck.

You can draw a picture of trees w/ grass and flowers, and the logo could be something like Don't litter it pollutes our flowers, trees and grass. But then I guess that wouldn't be good casue after so many years the earth decomposes trash. Oh well I hope that I helped give you some ideas for your paper. Good Luck!

Answering the question that was asked. That's a big one because many people only partly asnwer or don't even really answer it. No bs either. Don't babble just to fill more space. Being creative and throwing in a little humor doesn't hurt either. If you are writing a paper, be interested in your subject and do good research. It will show. Take a unique or unpopular angle and make a good argument for it. Follow a strict outline, so it's structured and makes sense.

There a lots of great ways to start this paper.  If I were writing it, I would probably start out with some interesting statistics and maybe even tell the story of Governor George Ryan (IL) commuting all the death sentences in Illinois before he left office a few years ago.  Or you could open with a couple of stories on both sides of the argument.  Good luck writing this.

Obviously, no one on Yahoo Answers went along on your school field trip, so, no one here can give you any specifics for your article.\n\nSo far as format is concerned, think of a snappy-sounding "headline" for your story. Buy a newspaper or two today and look at the way the articles in a real newspaper are set up. It's pretty much like a regular essay - there's a beginning, a middle, and an end (but not a "conclusion"-sounding one).\n\nNewspaper articles always stress the five things all people want to know - the who, the what, the where, the how, and the why. If you can cover all five of those points, you'll be able to compose a good article.\n\nMake sure it is neatly typed, is spell-checked, and contains proper sentence structure. If there are quotes from anybody, make sure to include proper punctuation. And last, but not least, learn your lesson about putting off assignments till the last minute. This will backfire almost every time. Good luck!

Good person to write about!!  I agree with everyone else's answers; Mark Twain captured life in the 1800s, the human spirit, and he did it with a brilliant sense of humor.  He used a lot of sarcasm, which most people your age can relate to!  Although his books are fictional, they are a great resource for learning about American history- people's accents, slang, and what they did for fun.\n\nGood luck w/ your paper, I'm sure it'll be great!
