Justice Ogbonnaya Mr. Bolivar Composition 10 29 November 2016 In 1929, the head of the Department of Prohibition wrongly outlawed marijuana because his department was being heavily funded with nothing to do after the prohibition of all alcohol-related products had ended in a failure. So that his funding wouldn’t get taken away, he tried to find something for his department to ban and outlaw. The unlucky winner was marijuana. He fabricated false claims against the drug even though he previously…

As the minds of Americans open wider and marijuana laws loosen up, new methods of smoking are appearing everywhere. One of the more popular of these methods is dabbing. Dabbing is the inhalation of vapor from super-concentrated cannabis. As the popularity of dabbing increases so does the market that surrounds it. A plethora of dabbing products is hitting the shelves of head shops everywhere. It just may be the future of smoking. THE BEGINNING OF DABBING AND MEDICAL MARIJUANA 2012 saw the…

Afroman's 2000 hit, Because I Got High, should be banned from UC Santa Cruz, as its main message is to smoke marijuana, which breaks school policy. Implemented on January 1, 2014, all UC campuses became smoke & tobacco free campuses, along with any UC owned properties. There is a large amount of influence to break this policy through social media and music. Throughout the song, Afroman mentions skipping obligations because he smoked pot and got high. This happened to him because pot releases…

“Thus, the controversy about the Moral Majority arises not only from its views, but from its name – which, in the minds of many, seems to imply that only one set of public policies is moral and only one majority can possibly be right” – Edward Kennedy. The world we live in today is full of people of different ethics, cultures, and mentalities. When there is an issue and there are different responses or points of view towards it, it is a controversy. In most parts of the world, different mindsets…

I'm a moderate psychedelic user. I've had a large number of LSD trips at both low and high doses, a few non-breakthrough DMT experiences, one 25C-NBOMe trip, and one 20mg metocin (4-HO-MET) trip before this experience. My friend S wanted to try metocin as her first 'strong' psychedelic. She smoked weed and drank alcohol, but hasn't used any other drugs before. We figured it would be a good idea since metocin doesn't have a very deep headspace and is generally easier to handle than acid, for…

Reclassifying Marijuana as a Non-Deviant Substance Marijuana has gone in and out of vogue for the past hundred years in the United States. The concept of marijuana legalization has been the subject of ongoing debate since the early 1930’s. While medical marijuana is now available in twenty-three states, is decriminalized in multiple states, and is legal for recreational purposes in four states, marijuana is still viewed as a deviant substance. However, marijuana should be legalized because of…

Lucifers lettuce, pot, weed, grass, reefer, Mary Jane, and hemp. These are just a few of the over 100 names for the drug most commonly known as marijuana. Marijuana has been a very controversial topic in the United States lately. This is because the US is on a path to possible legalization in the relatively near future. Some states have already legalized it and many have legalized it for solely medicinal use. In many senses, the public view on marijuana is very distorted by the news and…

Cannabis has really been in the spotlight lately, because of the wide spread argument about how cannabis should or shouldn’t be legalized. Looking at the current legalization polices, there are already four states that have legalized cannabis for medical reasons and recreational reasons. There are also several other states that have legalized cannabis for medical reasons only. The one problem that could be possibly stopping New Mexico from making cannabis legal for medical and or recreational…
