| These might get you started: Marijuana Decriminalization Talking Points - NORML NORML's Marijuana Health Mythology - NORML There have been discussions about this topic in here, that might help you. If you do some research you'll find some strong arguements to make. |

| I also have a debate on marijuana coming up, but i am supposed to debate that it should STAY ILLEGAL, so i'm pretty much clueless,cause theres not many reasons you can say marijuana should be illegal, at least without lying..... I'm probably jut gonna go in thier and spew bullshit and lies, just to make a good debate even though im wrong...... Cause i don't wanna go in thier and say that if marijuana were legal people would get fat from munchies, that doesn't form a very strong argument...... this teacher is breaking my bawls.... theres littleraly hundereds of reasons it should be legal, now if youll excuse me ive to hit a bong and do some reading.....

| If you are debating for marijuana to stay illegal, I would say just use the information you can find. Such as how effective the war on drugs has been, or the tax dollars that are spent incarcerating nonviolent offenders(nd thank God they're off the streets). Or, I think the FDA has simply said there are better alternatives, not that it is a particularly harmful. Maybe point out that America is clearly a beacon of moral virtue in this evil world for our strict control of marijuana, whereas countries with legalized marijuana have much more crime and gun deaths per year(Hey, wait, I'm pretty sure that last bit isn't true). Like the guy above said, have fun with it. I would say so long as you present accurately the information you find you shouldn't get docked points. Even if you go a bit heavy on the sarcasm. |

| I got some. So goverments can keep putting money in their pockets. So we can keep the population down by putting about 800,000 people a year in jail. So we can use it as stepping stones for becoming a police state. And if she asks for positive reasons say there are none.And that falseified and baised studyies aren't reliable. |

| by legalizing marijuanna though it would kinda mean the end of dealers who don't grow themselves, legalizing marijuanna would massively refuel the economy because the government regulates commerce - meaning literally everything and it could quite possibly save our asses and at least push the US dollar back past the canadian |

I don't know how they do debate at your school. At mine we had to be fully prepared to debate on either side of an issue. I don't know how you can convincingly support either side unless you're fully versed in the arguments that the other side will present. It's a whole lot easier to defend your position when you know how the opposition will attack it.

We pretty much have groups of 2, one person to explain our side of the argument and to give reasons, the other person(me) cross examines the oppsites side argument, i am supposed to anticipate what the anti-legalization people's main points are, so i pretty much have to guess what theyll say in advance.......probably same old goverment bull(gateway theroy,Laced dangerous weed, weed makes you a lazy stoner ect.....) I got it tommorow right after lunch, so ill probably be stoned.......Ironic?perhaps.....but probably no.... | |
