Well, I feel bad repping this on Yahoo!, but Google Scholar is pretty good in terms of a free, public source: http://scholar.google.com/
What might work best for you though is to check out the resources available at your school’s library. They probably have subscriptions to all sorts of different scholarly journals. I’m sure if you do a search in some of the Biology ones you should be able to find what you need. Don’t hesitate to ask a librarian though. They are college educated in the art of research, and they can really point you in the right direction.

Simply list all the beneficial uses for mj.
Compare cigarettes and mj:
Although both have carcinogenic ingredients mj has tumor inhibiting capabilities so the carcinogens are counter acted. Studies have proved cannabis slows and prevents the growth of cancers. As well as that pot smokers are no more likely to develop cancer then non smokers. This really nixes the idea that weed is the same or worse the cigs.
Do a search on this:
How many people does marijuana kill every year?
you’ll find your answer is zero.
Cant say the same for cigarettes.
You will find the more you read that the reason it is called unsafe is because the government says so, not because it is. The facts are all over, just read up on the benefits compare it to alcohol and even compare it to legal pharmies. Dont forget those have bad side effects, and suprise, mj doesn’t share them.
