So whilst doing homework at one Jpizzles house, I was complaining about how many of the pro-marijuana sites I had found were very . . . . illegitimate. He then went on to make the joke that they were all high when they wrote them, ((cleaver I know.)) or it was just an illegitimate argument to begin with.
I got mildly defensive and started with a counter argument when it hit me. . . Maybe I am too polarized to one side, at this point there really isn't any chance of going back, but I'm a little concerned about remaining neutral when it comes time for the persuasive paper.
Thus why I've been researching the con side of the argument so much, trying to see and understand the side I disagree with, but in turn I have a lot more anit-marijuana sites then I do pro, all of which I disagree with for one reason or another.
So now I need to gather more sources FOR the legalization of marijuana. . . But I don't want to re-acquaint myself with the ideas I believed in in the begging. Ugh. Struggle much?

Jordan,
I think it would be a good suggestion to just step back and maybe make a list of pros and cons -- or something along those lines. Just researching different sites might lead you to interpret evidence or just view one side of the argument. After reading a few of your blogs, I understand that you are having problems. I think it's really important that you just take a step back at least for now to write the expository draft.
Like Katie said make a list. It has helped me to that with my paper then when you actually go to write you have everything laid out for you, all you have to do is stick in the right statistic or quote in. Best of luck on this paper. I would be too biased to write a paper on that topic.
