Start with a provocative statement (not your thesis) that leads to your core arguments. That or "I like to party;....does/did too!"

Summarize either the situation of marijuana in the country right now or it's beginnings in the country, depending on what topic you will be discussing first.Runs_with_sciss0rs wrote:

I found a really nice quote that will kind of "hook" the reader into the essay.
"It is not the function of our Government to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function of the citizen to keep the Government from falling into error."
U.S. Supreme Court,
in American Communications Association v. Douds
I can relate that to legalizing marijuana in the intro, now I just need to get more details in there and I need a strong thesis to end it

Okay the real best way to start it off is to go through a brief history of marijuana and the criminalization thereof.
From there you can mention how the government spends millions of dollars casing marijuana and then how it isn't even as unhealthy as it is often thought, then make your thesis from there.

Words like "we" and "one" while pronouns, are acceptable.
Do not forget to introduce the quote first. Starting with a quote does work, but only if the reader knows the context before it's use. What I'm saying is you still need a sentence to introduce your theme, maybe 1/2 a sentence depending on how you work in the quote.Runs_with_sciss0rs wrote:

Actually thinking about it. In my philosophy A/S level exam, we were told to specifically start all our essays like that. I got 98/100 marks on one of them, so maybe if it was a philosophy essay, it would be goodDoctaStrangelove wrote:

Well I'd start off including something quick about what exactly Marijuana is, you know, get the simple relevant basics out of the way before tackling the topic at hand
