Introduction
Headings are 14 points, flush left, and boldfaced. Use initial
capitals. A good typeface for the heading is Arial, because it
holds bold facing well. To preserve hierarchy, allot three line
skips before the heading and two line skips after. In the
“Introduction,” make sure that you orient the audience with
sufficient background to understand what the problem is and
why the problem was addressed. In this format, you formally
reference the problem memo. A good test for this section is to
imagine how well it would orient you should you read it a year
from now. Also in the “Introduction,” be sure to state what the
topic includes and any limitations about the topic.
Indent all paragraphs. Also, you may place 6 points between
paragraphs, but do not place more—that would upset the special
hierarchy of the headings and subheadings. In addition, make
sure that you use the paragraph of the “Introduction” to map the
report. This mapping serves as a transition to the report's
middle.
Second Major Heading
Headings are 14 points, flush left, and boldfaced. Use initial
capitals. A good typeface for the heading is Arial, because it
holds bold facing well. To preserve hierarchy, allot three line

5. skips before the heading and two line skips after. At least one
paragraph should follow a heading before a subheading exists.
The typeface given here for the text portion of this report is
Times New Roman (on a Macintosh, Times would a comparable
choice). Book Antiqua would also be a professional choice,
especially for the single column format of a thesis. On a
Macintosh, comparable typefaces to Book Antiqua are New
Century Schoolbook and Palatino. In industry, the recommended
spacing for a report is single spacing.
First Subheading
Subheadings should be 12 points and boldfaced. Insert two line
skips before the sub-subheading and one line skip after. Use
initial capitals. Note that subheadings are typically listed in the
Table of Contents. Be conservative with subheadings in a
report. A report is often an argument and, as such, requires
series of uninterrupted paragraphs to state assertions and
present evidence for those assertions. For the length of report
that you have, avoid sub-subheadings, because they are often
unnecessary. Rather than having sub-subheadings, which would
be a third-level, have your paragraphs show the arrangement of
your ideas.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Second Subheading
If you have one sub-subheading, you must have a second.
Otherwise, the first sub-subheading has nothing to be parallel
with. Do not allow a heading or subheading to stand as a widow
line at the bottom of a page. If the situation occurs, force a line
break before the heading or subheading.
Third Heading
Headings are 14 points, flush left, and boldfaced. Use initial

6. capitals. A good typeface for the heading is Arial, because it
holds bold facing well. To preserve hierarchy, allot three line
skips before the heading and two line skips after. At least one
paragraph should follow a heading before a subheading exists.
Another formatting consideration concerns the incorporation of
figures and tables. Shown in Figure 1 is a common format that
serves reports well. Note that the word figure is not
abbreviated. In a single column document, such an abbreviation
makes no sense. A period is the powerful piece of punctuation—
its primary use is to end sentences. Do not dilute its power by
having it do menial tasks such as saving three letters from a
word that is short to begin with.
Following standard convention, the formal introduction of
Figure 1 occurred in the text before the figure appeared. In the
introduction of an illustration, using pointers such as below or
on the next page is undesired. Your technical reader knows
where the illustration is supposed to be placed—after the
paragraph that introduces it or on the next page if not enough
space exists below the paragraph. Note that you should not
break paragraphs in a Microsoft Word document to insert an
illustration. To distinguish the figure caption from the text, you
should place the figure caption in a smaller typeface, as was
done in Figure 1. Recommended for the line spacing of the
caption is single spacing. For the caption, a nice touch is to
place the name in the bold sans serif of the headings and have
the caption’s text in the serif typeface of the chapter’s text. As
is common in reports, the caption begins with a phrase and is
followed by a sentence (or two) that explains unusual details.
Tables are presented in a different fashion. For instance, Table
1 presents an example. The heading for the table goes above and
is 11 points. The heading is a single phrase. If there are unusual

7. details, those are explained in footnotes beneath the table. Note
each line skip above and below that separates each illustration
and its caption (or heading) from the text.

Illustrations in this appendix are labeled Figure A-1, Figure A-
2, Table A-1, Table A-2, and so forth. Note that each appendix
begins on a new page. Also note that each appendix should be
introduced somewhere in the text portion of the report.
Appendix B:
Title of Appendix B
Titles of appendices are 14 points, flush left, and boldfaced.
Use initial capitals. A good typeface for the heading is Arial,
because it holds bold facing well. To preserve hierarchy, allot
three line skips before the heading and two line skips after.
Illustrations in this appendix are labeled Figure B-1, Figure B-
2, Table B-1, Table B-2, and so forth. Note that each appendix
begins on a new page. Also note that each appendix should be

�Please indent all paragraphs. Do not follow the primitive
format of not indenting paragraphs and skipping a full line
between paragraphs. Every major book and journal publisher in
the world indents paragraphs. The no-indent format arose in the
1960s when the first word processors were developed—these
word processors could not indent paragraphs and therefore
authors had to resort to line skips. The no-indent format distorts
the line spacing awarded to headings and, when equations and
illustrations are present, makes it unclear where paragraphs end
and where they begin. If you want to skip a little space—say 3

14. pts—between paragraphs, that is fine, but be consistent
throughout the report.

Unit 3 Assignment: Outline
Introduction
The Controlled Substance Act is a federal U.S. drug policy
implemented in 190, which regulated the production,
importation, distribution and use of various narcotics,
hallucinogens, depressants and many other chemical substances.
In 1972, Marijuana was added in the list of schedule 1 drugs
(Boyd, Trumble & Hatalsky, 2014). The schedule 1 drugs
possess high potential for abuse. In 1996, voters of California
approved a Proposition 215 that allowed the Golden State to use
Marijuana for the medical purposes. After it, 28 more states, the
District Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam passed laws of similar
nature (Anderson, 2014).
Supporting Paragraph Topics
· Today 29 states, the Guam, District Columbia and Puerto Rico
has allowed the vehement public medical marijuana and
cannabis programs.
· The efforts that have been approved lately in the 18 states
allow the consumption of high Cannabis oil (CBD) and low
THC for the medical purposes in particular scenarios.

16. · According to the Gallup poll, more Americans reinforce the
legalization of marijuana instead of criminalizing it.
· In 2013, Marijuana was legalized in many more states along
with Washington and Colorado that enacted laws to
decriminalize it.
· I strongly bolster the legalization of marijuana, particularly
for the medical purposes.
· Marijuana is indeed not dreadful, in fact it has soothing
effects.
· Marijuana is effective in treatment. However, Marijuana is not
approved as medicine by the FDA (Boyd, Trumble & Hatalsky,
2014).
· The marijuana plant possesses chemicals that may treat a
variety of illness and provides soothing effects to the one
suffering from a painful illness.
· The demander of marijuana legislation are the citizens that in
take marijuana for different purposes. However, the suppliers
are legislators of this federal policy.
· The marijuana industry is the special interest group that is
reinforcing the federal campaign of Washington DC. Moreover,
there are police unions, alcohol and beer companies, private
prison corporations that are striving against the legalization of
Marijuana (Boyd, Trumble, & Hatalsky, 2014).
Conclusion
· The issue is expected to be discussed between the interest
groups in order to glean an efficient policy out of it. All the
demander and suppliers must put forth their recommendation in
a formal way and federal government after gaining the deep
empathy of all the recommendations made by different interest
groups the final legislation should be made taking care of each
interest group (Cherney, 2014).
