I think this is a good topic. I will be interested to read on the information you have researched to see if this should indeed be used for medical purposes more often. I notice the only thing that you missed was to add your thesis statement on the outline. The information in our book shows to put the thesis statement on outline.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeanette! I must have missed that part. I will correct it this evening.
DeleteThis topic is an attention-grabber. I would have to see the actual facts to choose if marijuana should be used for medical purposes, but I was wondering if you do or not. I noticed in the discussion it sounds like you support it, that should be included in your thesis statement.
ReplyDeleteA few things to keep in mind as you are working through your draft is that you want your focus to be on only medical use and its benefits, correct? I don't think you should insert much about the ways in which marijuana can be used or its different forms. This is irrelevant. Also, I am not seeing a lot of opposition. You state one example of opposition, which is the government. This does not really offer a substantial connection to your claim.
ReplyDeleteAll good points. Thank you for the guidance!
ReplyDeleteThis is a topic I'm very interested in also. Though the government/DEA are the main opponents, in my opinion, you will probably find pockets of politicals, main stream medical providers and "clergy" who do not like this subject. Best of luck! I look forward to reading your essay..
