PATTERN OF ORGANIZATION: I’ve chosen the criteria satisfaction pattern of organization because I will be setting up criteria my audience will accept and then show them how my idea or product meets them.

AUDIENCE ANALYSIS: Well as most of us have probably heard around the news of the fuss going around to either legalize the growing and the use of the cannabis plant in the United States or to not legalize it. We should be all educated about what cannabis really

If I wanted to go on about the benefits and growing cannabis in the U.S.; I could continue with the benefit it would have on the economy from taxing it to giving Americans more legal jobs to choose from.

III. CONCLUSION: We have already come so far with the success of legalizing the production of cannabis. Marijuana is already legal to use recreationally in a few states including Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Colorado, and even D.C. as well as a hand full of states that have legalized it for medical patients, which includes Utah. Decriminalization of marijuana is happening in other states which are basically like getting a speeding ticket for possessing a small amount of marijuana for personal use. We need to stop looking at cannabis as a plant that produces a drug for stoners and potheads and start looking at it as a source for natural products. Cannabis helps use produce medicine, beauty products, food supplements, and fibers for durable materials. This is a positive thing and we need to realize how much this could truly benefit all of us as a community and as an economy.
