Medical marijuana isn’t a bad thing.
I guessed this was where the acting came in, or where I respectfully bowed to my opponent and let her know she was the better debater
Being the head of the debate club, I helped choose the subject that would go up for debate. One of the subjects for debate was medical marijuana. Was it a good thing, or a bad thing? I didn’t care either way, so I left the debaters to the pool. Everyone’s name was put into a hat and two names were pulled out to do the debate, with two others acting as their second. I was given medical marijuana and debated how it was a bad thing. I started doing a lot of research about the subject so I could give an objective point of view on the subject. Nothing I read was making me want to say that medical marijuana was a bad thing. I read about the efficacy of using medical marijuana to aid patients with cancer so they didn’t get sick while undergoing chemotherapy. Most of the patients who used medical marijuana maintained their weight and felt better. I read how medical marijuana was used to help with pain. It helped people suffering from PTSD. Medical marijuana even helped patients with restless leg syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and some neurological diseases. How was I going to say that medical marijuana wasn’t a good thing when I believed it was a good thing. I guessed this was where the acting came in, or where I respectfully bowed to my opponent and let her know she was the better debater. I could just see my debate coach looking at me like I was crazy. I was like a dog fighting for a bone when I was debating, but this time I was going to be the underdog.
