I think that there should be no classes on Fridays for all students at the University of South Carolina. Friday is the worse day of the week for college students, even worse than mondays because we're already thinking about the weekend especially if it's a game like Clemson. All friday classes should be eliminated and we should only have class monday through thursday.
If we didn't have class on fridays that could mean for more work during the other days which would be even worse. You would have to cram all your classes and hw for those four days which could end up hurting the students rather than helping.

The problem that i am discussing is the legalization of medical marijuana.
* first perspective is the patients that use and benefit from using medicinal marijuana
*second and third perspectives are the doctors who either are for prescribing marijuana or those who are not.
* fourth perspective is the general public in America and my own stand on the issue.
I believe that the federal government shouldn't have a say in the state laws as long as its being observed carefully by state officials and is not being cultivated for profit.

I changed my essay a lot after my peer review. I noticed i did come off a little too bias on one side of the argument and i didn't notice it until after. I stated my view on the argument but i did not expand on it like i did in the first draft. I also changed the organization of how it was written and switched and reworded a few paragraphs to make it much easier to understand.

This article speaks about the benefits of using medical marijuana with patients who have symptoms such as anxiety, pain, or insomnia. 15 states have already passed the law allowing the use of the drug and more are discussing the issue in making it legal in their state. The article is a little bias to the legalization of medical marijuana and discusses why physicians recommend medical marijuana.
Abraham Nussbaum. "Journal of General Internal Medicine. 2011. Academic Search Premier
This journal is discussing the importance of the patient/physician relationship. It is very important for the two to have a good relationship but there is a concern about the use of medical marijuana because of the little known medical facts about the drug. This article can be used to help discuss how some people believe some doctors are just giving out medical licenses without the proper diagnoses.
Harold Kalant. "The Medical Use of Cannabis." 1999. God and Science.Org
This book speaks about the Medical use of Cannabis and all its benefits. It also discusses the effects of the drug and debates if it is addictive or not. I can use this to help back up my argument about how Medical Marijuana can benefit more than hurt ones body.
John Hoeffel. "Medical Marijuana Advocates sue to halt dispensary closings." 2011. La times
This article is speaks about dispensaries which are the legal stores for buying medical marijuana. The federal government is cracking down on dispensaries in California trying to shut them down for breaking federal law. Even though they signed an agreement not to step in with patients who followed state law.
Erin Walkinshaw. Marijuana Dispensaries propose self regulation. 2011. Academic Search Premier

Donald P. Tashkin. "Healh Concerns: What are the Medical Danges of Marijuana use."Effects of Marijuana and its Immune Defense.
This article describes what doctors have found out about medical marijuana. The benefits and the effects on the immune system. It gives facts and opinions of doctors about what they believe about marijuana having medical use. Doctor Tashkin leads to believe that Marijuana should not have a medical purpose at this time being because of the very little known knowledge about the drug.
Alan C Ogborne. "Self-reported medical use of marijuana: a survey of the general population." 2000 Ecmaj.ca
This is a Canadian Article that discusses how few studies that people with aids/hiv have similar effects from marijuana.

Topic Proposal
Antoine Parris
The topic I chose to write about is if medical marijuana should be legal in all 50 states. This has been a major issue across America for year and is now being taken more seriously. There’s the side that thinks that the Marijuana has no medical use and the side that believes it does. There are facts that back up each side which make it a very interesting argument.
This issue is a major debate between politicians, law enforcement, and people that are very ill who actually need the drug. Some politicians are trying to make it legal in their state while others are not. The law enforcement mainly wants to keep everything how it is while the sick people are fighting for it and for many it is to keep them alive.
Personally I believe that it should be legal in all states because there are sick people all over the United States that could benefit from the use of medical marijuana.
