Answer 2

How about Alfonse Capone?

Answer 3

Write about Harry J Anslinger.. He was the one responsible for criminalizing cannabis. It would be a great topic to write about because most people don't know the whole background story of why cannabis is illegal today. There is much to be written about and researched.
