Analyzing+sources

The prohibition source was most beneficial because it gave me a lot of examples for why making recreational drugs can be bad.

The prohibition source showed me that it is not always beneficial to ban recreational drugs because of the effects in violence, crime, and economy. I see my question in the same way, I found little arguments against legalization of marijuana. One source mentioned problems like self panic attacks, but that was really it.

I still need more information on the negative long term affects on marijuana. I will find strong sources, but to counter this argument I will use cigarettes for health, and alcohol for short term affects.

Marijuana is a drug commonly used for recreational purposes. Its benefits are negative unless used for medical pain. However, our Prohibition in the 1920’s shows that it is better to make it legal and place a high tax. The short term effects of marijuana are less dangerous than alcohol, i.e. car crashes.
