My second idea would be to do a report on the effects of marijuana on the human body. I would focus on both permanent effects and the effects it has on you while you are intoxicated. I don't know much about marijuana, but it is something i would like to learn more about. I find the way drugs and alcohol effect the human body and mind very interesting.
The third topic that i was thinking about using for the research paper would be gun control and the right to bear arms. I would like to research this topic, because i am a hunter and care a lot about my right to bear arms and protect myself.
