SHOULD CANNABIS BE LEGALIZED?


Cannabis is gradually being decriminalized around the world. In Uruguay, it is completely legal; in the USA, various states, like California, are in the process of legalizing it but are they right to do so or are they taking the wrong approach? Is it the thin edge of the wedge, a slippery slope or was it long overdue? Do your research and decide. When you are ready, write an essay in which you state your opinion, justify it and refute counter arguments.

  1. Nice topic for a argumentative essay . Maybe I 'm narrow-minded, but it seems to me that cannibalism can't be allowed in no way.

  2. You may misunderstand the topic. It is about cannabis which is drug like weed or pot.
