Marijuana and Federal Law
This is the title of a paper I'm writing in my American Government class, outlining and proposing a possible solution to the discrepancies in the laws of Marijuana on a state and federal level. In a nutshell, the laws go as follows:
Marijuana is a Schedule I substance as deemed by the Controlled Substances Act(CSA). By these standards, it has a high risk of abuse and no medical value. It is illegal on the federal level.
On the state level, fourteen states have made laws that allow the use of marijuana as a medicine. The possession of small amounts for use in this manner has been decriminalized--the individule will not be fined or incarcerated so long as they have a doctor's perscription.
And that, my friends, has been my life for the past week. I've been writing this paper in the APA Citation style, and I need 2000 words. So far I have 958, and I'm tired of writing in all this academic filler shit!
*Deep Breath* Sorry about that. I needed to vent a little.
Unfortunately, I'm having a tough time in this class--a combination of this paper, a lot of homework, and a complete ass for a teacher are making my head spin. Also, this class is lecture based, and he continues talking as I'm writing notes...he's a hard teacher, and he comes across so nice!
So, once I get this bastard done (circa 11/5) I'll be fine, and then I can start my paper for my favorite class--Sociology!
In the next paper I need to explore the various theories behind the JFK assassination. This one should get interesting.
But now I need to get back to being a champion for all the pot-smokers out there. Odd, considering that I don't smoke pot.
