Option 1

 * Article title: Removal of cannabis from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act
 * Article Evaluation:
 * - the content is relevant to my topic (cannabis schedule I drug)
 * - talk page raises the concern that this article argues for a pro-cannabis agenda, however given the topic of the article I think the the information is neutral
 * - could use more information about how cannabis came to be a schedule I drug
 * - claims have citations and links work
 * - the citations I checked are reliable
 * - I believe the article does target equity gaps by giving voice to those in favor of the removal of cannabis as a schedule I drug, maybe too much so? It might be more useful to neutralize the tone of the article a bit more so that readers with differing viewpoints feel more inclined to read it all the way through.

Option 2

 * Article title Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction
 * Article Evaluation
 * - the content is relevant
 * - article is short, thus information is limited, not enough info about my topic to stand alone, maybe along with another article this article would be helpful
 * - article is neutral
 * - citations are reliable
 * - article does not tackle equity gap
 * - talk page raises the concern of inconsistencies between the information shared and current state laws, important to consider

Option 3

 * Article title War on drugs
 * Article Evaluation
 * - the content in the article is relevant to the topic, in the broader view, it could be helpful to use another article in support of this one
 * - it is written neutrally, talk page critiques there is too much information about the effects the war on drugs has on the black community, I do not know that I entirely agree that this makes the article not neutral.
 * - Claims have citations and the links work, the citations are reliable and easy to access
 * - the article surely tackles equity gaps both in the content of the article and the sources draw upon MinialuceRuiz (talk) 10:06, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
