Hello everyone,

I was recently assigned a debate topic on marijuana but I have no idea how to approach it. I would like any inputs from a "marijuana seller" stakeholder perspective please and the seller's overall characteristics. That way, I know how to further debate using this perspective.

Stakeholder: marijuana sellers
Here are the following questions:

  1. What are the basic characteristics of your stakeholder?
  2. What is their interest in the policy (motivation)?
  3. Where do they stand on the issue?
  4. What are the primary benefits/concerns of legalization from your stakeholder’s perspective?
  5. Are there additional facts that would strengthen or support your perspective but that are missing at this time?
  6. What is their political power?
  7. If you were to rank them where would you place them in the following table:

As a veteran of more than one college debate class I have another objection to your post. Every time I've been assigned a debate topic I was given the subject and the position to be argued. You don't say you are for or against anything. You just want information. Here's a news flash -- pot dealers are secretive anti-government types that don't like meaningless curiosity about their livelihood. Try asking those questions in certain bars and expect a quick escort to the parking lot. BigSteve.
