Marijuana

Chapter 3: Federalism, Chapter 4: Civil Liberties

Marijuana is illegal under federal law. However, in the past decade, many states have passed state-level laws that legalize marijuana in different ways. In some states, recreational marijuana is legal. In other states, it’s only legal if for medicinal purposes. In D.C., it’s legal to possess, grow, and use, but not sell. For this topic, look into at least one state’s marijuana law that permits marijuana in at least some circumstances (at least one state where pot is somewhat legal). You can look into multiple states. Focus on the effects of the policy change in that state and what it has to teach us about potential changes to national (federal) law. Try to focus on a specific topic in the news and be specific in what you’re talking about. Use quality news sources to inform yourself. You will not be graded on your personal opinions about marijuana but rather your knowledge of this issue and the current events surrounding it.
