Persuasive Essay Topic

Today in English Mr Potter allowed 3 people to go to the library for our persuasive essays. Honestly i didn't have a topic until about 3rd period today because I worked late last night, so i was thinking and i just had no idea what to write about. I had to ask my girl friend of what she thought i should write about, and she said i should write about something that has to do with the law that a lot of people would have an opinion on. Then my topic came to me. I'm writing my persuasive essay on the reasons why I think the United States of America SHOULD legalize Marijuana. Now i know what you are thinking "Wow this kid is a freaking pot head!" well I'm letting you know right now that i have never even seen this drug because of the fact that is illegal and i could be in very much trouble if I did associate myself with the drug. So actually today in English was quite interesting in the library because i have a lot of info on my topic... it should be that "A" paper that Mr potter has been talking about.
