Group K1: Substance Abuse: Marijuana

This website was made for Dr. White's Political Science Class 1101 at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The public policy issue our group researched was on substance abuse focusing on marijuana. There are many different substance abuse topics we could have potentially researched for this project: alcoholism, prescription drug addiction and many other illegal drugs; however, we decided to narrow the field and focus on one specific topic prevalent in American society today, marijuana. By navigating this site, you will find different research papers covering the history of the drug in America, an international look at marijuana use, a look specifically at the state of California, the economic issues dealing with marijuana, controversy surrounding medicinal marijuana use and finally a look into the War on Drugs and how it relates to marijuana, specifically.

Cheers!
