I think you should do it because if these people are smart they will listen and learn. It sounds like a very valid topic for you to present, and one that would be very interesting to listen to you present. Ask first though. If you're worried about losing respect in the eyes of your teacher think of it this way, if hes willing to discount valid information that could help people just because the topic is unpopular than he isnt as great as you think.

Go for it, you did reserch, and it's not like your lying about it. THC is just a chemical, and if they can't see that then give them the finger.:S4:
Once I gave a presentation of the benefits of using Ketamine (Special K) for neonates with respiratory ailments and it went over pretty good, minus the hand gestures my friends were giving me from the back row during the presentation..
If you feel comfortable presenting it, go for it. If not, a suggestion would be to google "Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors" which is cutting edge treatment for cancer. New therepeutics for cancer. It has relevance and is new technology. Just hope no one else chose this topic. Good luck.
GO FOR IT!!! Have tons of research to back your claims- there is bound to be at least one kid who still buys the DARE propaganda. You will need to convince that kid with hard science. Here's a site for you, be sure to go toward the right to find the past issues-Lots of good stuff! Marijuana Research: Benefits, Cancer, Effects, Uses, Addiction One thing that REALLY gripes me is that the government has known that cannabis fights cancer since 1987The piece was called "Cannabinoids Induce Incomplete Maturation of Cultured Human Leukemia Cells" 1987, how many people have died of leukemia since then???? Good luck in your presentation! - Granny

id do it, youre probably least likely to be judged among educated people.
So im sitting in class today thinking about how im going to ask this guy about such an unsure subject... then all of a sudden..
he starts talkin about marijuana! saying if it were just legal, people could make a free enterprise out of it....people could grow it and sell it and the government could tax it.
Problem solved... im gonna ask him about my paper this week
FLAT OUT DO IT! I have many times. Hehe who cares what people think, give em some education. Then at the end you can be like "and after all this, it really gives ya a good buzz" hehehe
