Research essay on legalizing marijuana

i have to write a research essay on legalizing marijuana. Since im not from the US.. i dont have to be specific about US government and its policies. I would really need some help regarding the thesis statement and the intro. I will be grateful to you guys for this help. Also if i could get some suggestions for some credible articles on this topic from where to quote some research?

Regards

P.S: the essay is due in 4 days so please help!!!

google, colorado legalizes marijuana, it should be the first hit

hmmm, it sounds really strange to me because in my countries it is illegal. However, I suggest you focus on two ideas

1. it does not cause addicted and not make people totally lose control
2. its medical value can be used as a kind of analgesics especially with soldiers

Hope it helpful for you !
