Black Market
(Underground Economy) The illegal selling of banned products such as smuggled animals from different countries or human organs/ body parts.
The Black Market can be a bad thing for countries, the market can contain many illegal things from organs to animals. On the other hand the market can bring productivity to people and get them money to then use to help bolster an economy.But since the Black market contains many controversial things it is normally stopped by law enforcement.
Doping in Sports The use of PED's and other drugs that give an advantage. These can be in the form of HGH or other things such as steroids.
Doping in sports is a bad thing to almost all except the culprit, HGH can give an athlete an unfair advantage against others. The drugs promote healing and muscle growth that give more strength but can give side-effects such as weakened joints. Some may say it makes the game different and helps athletes heal faster, and some say that even if they are used it doesn't always create an effect that gives positive feedback and sometimes was never found in some people.
Medical Marijuana This is a controversial topic that is in many views. medical marijuana is used to help treat patients for glaucoma to help ease their pain.
Medical marijuana is a broad and very debated topic that creates protest for some. Some people can create a positive with this because of the pain numbing effects for glaucoma patients. Some may argue and say this will be abused because of the many people that just use it for the effects which can affect the surrounding people.

Why are you most interested in the topic of argument selected?
I am interested to this topic due to the wide variety of things sold. The black market deals in many things, animals, humans, organs, guns, drugs. The Black Market is a very wide market that can effect many economies and countries in a good or bad way. The good influence would be to bring extra money into the market which will lead to more growth in that areas economy. The negative influences would be the poaching of animals which will endanger them almost to extinction. Also it will bring illegal drugs and guns into countries which will create even more illegal distribution.

What cases can be made for or against X
The black market can be a way to introduce new money toward economies in debt. These forms of illegal trade may help a struggling economy but will also hurt what it is trading. The black market can contain a multitude of objects such as humans, body parts and/or organs,animals, and drugs to name a couple. These can be highly controversial and many want it to be stopped.
Doping in Sports
This is the use of PED's which are hormone injections or pills that help grow muscles at a rapid pace and heal them fast aswell. The use of these is seen as bad for sports because some players get an unfair advantage that others don't have. Some mat think its good due to an extra power in their bodies which can be more entertaining and make historic accomplishments less of a reach.
Medical Marijuana
This is a highly debated topic with a constant view of it being a bad thing. The medicinal values can help patients with glaucoma. These positives can be easily out weighted by the negatives. A major negative of this is it would create a want for the substance and also an easy way to obtain it.
