I'm running out of stuff to write. My topic is why we should legalize medical marijuana. It's 5 pages, on my fourth and ran out of stuff to bs.

Stuff I got so far:
It's can help with anixiety, depression...
Safer than tobacco and yet it's illegal
That story where a woman lost an appeal to use marijuana to stay alive
Why politics shouldn't mix with medicine (working on this)

Any ideas?

legalization means it can be properly regulated as to prevent abuses from driving it underground

If the "naughtiness" of pot as a gateway drug is taken away, it will in theory reduce the number of hard drug users. And yes, if it is controlled and taxed, not only does that help our economy, it hurts illegal drug runners bringing it into the US along with coke and other, harder drugs.

Also, make all your periods size 14 font. It'll make a much bigger difference than you think, and it's very hard to detect.

Edited for spelling.

along the lines of paulxcook's suggestion, double space and shrink the margins

also compare it to alcohol which is legal and causes violent behavior compared to the useless laziness created by marijuana

Talk about the biology - the receptor THC interacts with, the normal ligands for the receptor.

Marajuana(MJ) is medically less harmful than alcohol or tobacco. It's impossible to OD from MJ.

For cancer patients undergoing chemo, this is good treatment. Chemo causes pain and loss of appetite. MJ would make them hungry while relieving pain so would help them recover.

Legalizing MJ would reduce crime because it would take a source of income away from drug dealers. After Prohibition, the money from alcohol was lost to gansters.

Regulating a drug that is already used freely would make it safer for the public. Amsterdam and other countries with legalized drugs prove its possible.

Laws regulating MJ would no longer be flaunted. Like Prohibition time, MJ is not strictly enforced because everyone does it. Law loses it's veracity by enforcing MJ laws. Law enforcement used for tracking down MJ can be used for tracking down real criminals.

A tax on MJ would generate a windfall of tax money that could be used for social programs.

Just find something that your teacher supports. Make BS arguments supporting it, but get an A anyways.

1. Medical reasons: pain relief, nausea, increased appetite, it's given to a few people WITH Federal scrips. 1/5 of the states have instituted Medical MJ programs already.
2. Economics: 2 parts
-there would be a huge relief on our legal systems. Why are we wasting all this money putting non-violent drug offenders(possession, etc) in prison. The only reason people sell it(and that's where violence gets involved) is because it's illegal, cheap, and people WANT it.
-in turn, it could be properly regulated: taxable, marketable, and safer for the american public. people would get what they pay for, not some crap chafe that is $25/oz just because that's all that's around.

that's all for now.

You could write about how some in some states the law is in confilct with fedreal law over legalization. That should be plently to write a 10 page paper on.

Don't use Times New Roman as your font. It was developed by the newspapers to fit the most number of words on a page. I prefer Brookman Old Style...standard serif MS font, looks close, but adds a decent amount of volume....probably ~1/2-3/4 of a page in your case.
