//__Should Marijuana be Legalized?__//
For my research paper I wanted to make arguments for the legalization of marijuana. I do not use the drug, so for me I wanted to emphasize that I do not condone usage, but instead I wanted to keep an economic and criminal perspective on the issue. For my research I began using the Academic Search Database for articles in the topic. I searched for California’s law, dangers of marijuana, and views on the drug. Finally, and most importantly I searched for information on the Prohibition, because I knew I wanted to directly compare modern outlawing of marijuana to the 1920’s Prohibition on alcohol.

After finding sources I wrote out a zero draft where I copied and pasted quotes that I wanted to use. I would then start writing a paragraph on that topic and build up to using the quote. Writing with a zero draft on this paper helped me a lot because I knew the order I wanted to put everything in, and it was easier to flow. I believe that this was the best route to take, because I had many points to make and I needed to keep things in order.
