CANCER . . . . . . or not. . . . . Rantblog.

I'm frustrated.
Frustrated that I've found so many legitimate sites that say marijuana can cause cancer. Frustrated that there are the same number of legitimate sites saying exactly the opposite. Frustrated every site has a counter, and they all make sense. And Frustrated I can't remember what vocab word means using the same word at the begging of a sentence.

I guess this can be good since I have to give both sides of the argument, but it also makes it REALLY FRICKIN HARD to make a well supported stance. My favorite argument is still the comparison between alcohol and marijuana, as in they are both bad, (( I think alcohol is worse. . . )) and so if one is legal, the other should be too. But I need better statistics on it. Blah. can't we all just get along?

Also, just out of sheer curiosity, what do people in the class think of this issue? Comment? I like opinions.

I have had the same problems with websites even though my topic is incredibly different. I have had so many websites that seem credible and say that animal testing doesn't help medical research, but I have also found websites that seem credible and say the exact opposite. It has been really difficult to find websites that I can use in my paper.
