I like this a lot. I held the same opinion on the subject before I read this, but I had no idea it could be so well-supported. Hah, hah, hah, I love essays.

Airline pilots for example have been shown to suffer “significant deviation in simulated landings” 24 hours after smoking cannabis, whilst otherwise prepared (Loup, 1994).

I see you snuck some humor into the paper that's always good

I'd have to give your paper a "B+" (I only criticize because it's an academic exercise)

I know you had the word limit so it was tough to do just because of that - but it seems like maybe you could have mentioned the Opium trade in Asia and the Middle East as well as drug cartels in South America and the way that their governments stances on drugs have had economic reprucusions on the entire regions even reaching beyond their own borders. Like for a long period of time the productivity of the Chinese economy was brought down by what some experts estimated to be 50% becasue literally half of the poplation was addicted to Opium - people just sat around doing drugs until the government took a stance against it

I think that's bringing the morality into the argument without necessarily betraying the economic context of this assignment

or maybe you were told to stay exclusively in your region - and only to specific drugs

oh well, I'm not knocking the paper - it's very very good and I applaude you for enduring the whole process

especially on 4 hours sleep only bravo

I'm in awe - when I had to write papers I almost never followed the rules lol - I wrote my essays like I write my journal entrie, even peppering them with colourful language and rhetorics and foul language too- lol

good thing my teachers like me - you see I have a hard time with conformity and assimilation so I just subconciously would always rebel but why am i mentioning that? you have certainly not asked for all of this input -

also

My professors would tell me not to use this:
"I shall explore these looking at the current economic effects of prohibition, and discuss the consequences of varying degrees of legalisation on the budget, and social wellbeing."

Basically always try to avoid statements like "I will explain the fundamentals of quantum physics in this paper" - but maybe it's different where you are



is that ur first college paper? good job!

it must be THAT good
