This  book demonstrates the negative consequences of marijuana should it be legalized in Vermont. It talks about tax revenues, consumption, public budgets and the consequences of marijuana use. This helps my argument because my essay is about why marijuana should be illegal. It will help me gain some knowledge outside of my perspective.

This e book illustrates the correlation between marihuana and individual’s mental health.  It goes to show how it affects psychotic disorders and then negative effects on the human brain. This will help me in my argument to show how marijuana can disrupt someone’s life and make it hard and ruin lives.
