As I said earlier, your paper needed a lot of work. Firstly, you did not use MLA at all, so I corrected that and also alphabetized the works cited. You were a bit repetitive, which I fixed as much as possible. Now to your argument: 1. I don't see why you even bring in the UN. Your paper really is about US policy. 2. I don't think you can classify marijuana and cocaine/heroin in the same category. I agree marijuana should be decriminalized, but most of the illegal, and violent, drug trade is in cocaine/heroin, which are VERY dangerous drugs and I can't see a case for decriminaliazing them. Marijuana is grown mostly domestically, but the drug cartels make their profit on cocaine/heroin. Do you seriously believe these should be available for purchase on the open market? Please think about it.
