What is a good topic for an argumentative essay?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was thinking "Do the benefits of medical marijuana justify its legality?" but would I start the essay off with that or as an actual claim? like "Using medical marijuana does not justify its legality." or "The effects of medical marijuana justify its legality." ?

Or do you think "Americans should eliminate the regular consumption of fast food because the fast food diet leads to preventable and expensive health issues, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.” is that too broad?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

When you say start off, you mean the first sentence of your first paragraph, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Thatʻs the hook, youʻll want that sentence, your first sentence, to draw attention

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

To be honest, I think medical marijuana is an excellent topic. Itʻs something, I, myself find interesting. Just today, I was watching youtube and came across an ad, that was "for" marijuana, in the sense of, it was in favor for having medical marijuana. It showed people using it, how it was like a revolution of sorts. They had people who had trauma, and showed how they felt better when using the drug. With all the controversy, I think it would make an excellent topic :)

What grade are you in, might I ask?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whether advertisements are good for children or not

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

lol^ idk about that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am in 9th grade. What do you think would be a good hook for that?

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

First off, what stance would you take, regarding your thesis

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

Youʻre talking about medical marijuana, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, medical marijuana. I think I would say it is good to take/use for the terminally ill and illnesses like that but we should restrict its uses with other people. @ShadowLegendX
