My topic was highly speculative and based on people’s opinions, therefore not just plain facts. It was vital to find reliable and relevant sources which was important to the accuracy of the outcome.

    A "good" Google search is not the best idea, because there are sites that claim they know their stuff, but in actuality, their facts are either incorrect or made up. Their facts may in fact be correct, but for a different subject that their article is not even about. There are also many sites that can be changed and altered by anyone. There's so many websites that anyone can change because literally everyone has access to change the information to whatever they please, so you never know if the information is truly correct if anyone has permission to change the article. Which is why I look for credible sites with credible authors, companies, or even college sites that have articles for certain subjects. It can take me hours to find two or more credible sources, but that only depends on the topic I am writing…

And with so many states legalizing the medical use and two states legalizing it recreationally the future of marijuana appears to be a bright one. The amount of tax dollars marijuana would raise would be emense. If every state in the U.S. legalized marijuana we could cut out the national debt in just a few years if it took that long.…
