The literature suggested that there was not enough research on the topic in terms of finding out the root cause of patients taking marijuana, even if they had medication. What was discovered in the literature was also the theory that there were other contributing outside factors such as genetics and family history. Patients that were also mentally healthy were having the same effects when taking marijuana. What the literature also spoke about was distinguishing between actual ...

9-2) Beer and marijuana are substitute goods, i.e. when the demand for one goes up, it is expected that the demand for the other is likely to go down, as most people would consume either of the two products. When marijuana gets legalized, the distributors would fear that their sales would decline. So beer distributors are likely to oppose the legislation regarding legalizing marijuana. On the other hand, snack food and marijuana are generally considered to be complementary products, i.e. the demand for one of them increases the demand for the other. This way, when marijuana gets legalized, snack ...

Discovery documentary explains how the drugs affect person’s body by conducting the series of experiments to test coordination, concentration stress-resilience and strength, as well as general health condition of regular drug users.

In today's political climate, much discussion centers around the facts of marijuana policy in national discussions and debates. On the one hand are the scientific and medical policy discussion which consider continuously whether marijuana is in fact detrimental to your health or whether there are some if any benefits.

One of the most significant issues in the U.S. today is the systemic policies that have led to the U.S. having the largest prison population in the world. A disproportionate number of socioeconomically marginalized citizens are incarcerated and subjected to discriminatory practices by law enforcement and the justice department. The consequences are wide-reaching and inseparable, cutting across political, social, and cultural lines. In order to identify the roots of these interconnected phenomena, one needs to both understand the historical struggle of marginalized groups in the U.S. as well as follow the money. Socioeconomic discrimination, voter suppression, for-profit policing practices, ...

Abstract

In constant search for additional pleasure or expansion of consciousness, people were chewing random leaves and cooking magical brews that made them more powerful and invulnerable.

How, according to Michelle Alexander, has the American Supreme Court “eviscerated” the Fourth Amendment, which protects citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures? What examples does she give? CH2 According to Alexander, the American Supreme Court has eviscerated the Fourth Amendment due to the adoption of spatiality in the war against drugs. Alexander reiterates the evisceration of the Fourth Amendment due to legal espionages and conspiracies in the war against drugs where the war is inclined on racial lines. For example, Alexander attributes this practice to the incidences of stop-and –frisk operations, especially in the poor communities. Other examples presented ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications. Those who argue for the use of the drug are typically of the mind that marijuana does far more good than harm, citing research that leans more towards the benefits stemming from its use a pain reliever. On the other side, those who argue vehemently against the drug do so for the same reason, bringing up studies and, at times, propaganda that incites viewers to realize just what cost ...

Increased globalization processes are the basis for the expansion of international organizations and their influence zone. Globalization can ...

1. Discretionary enforcement refers to the decision by a law enforcement officer not to administer a power, that is within their right and authority to do, based on their judgment and analysis of the situation (Tieger, 1971).

Alternatively, selective enforcement refers to the decision by a law enforcement officer to administer a power, that is within his right and authority, against ...

Political Policy in the USA and its impact (Marijuana)

Introduction Although there are various polices and theories that have been formulated and implemented in relation to marijuana usage, evidence available suggest that the current removal of the prohibition of the possession of marijuana does not increase its usage amongst the citizens. Apparently, these prohibitions are more harmful than they were thought before. For instance, studies have shown that legalizing marijuana does not increase its usage. In 1973, around 13 USA states enacted versions of laws that led to the decriminalization of marijuana in their states. In each of these states, marijuana users did not have to face jail ...

Currently, alcoholism represents one of the widespread addictions. The long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol are characterized by the phenomena of tolerance and dependence. Tolerance occurs when a set of liver enzymes is produced after a prolonged drinking, which assist in metabolizing alcohol. As a result, alcohol is broken down faster and the person has to increase alcohol amounts in order to attain the same amount of intoxication. Tolerance is the most critical long-term physiological effects of addiction to alcohol. This is so because it produces a false sense of security in the people addicted to alcohol.

Of all wars to have been conducted by the USA, the war on drugs is the least promising, with government and law enforcement agencies fighting it in a losing battle. When American authorities got it going some 4 decades ago, it was doomed to be a losing war for a number of reasons, of which one is a historic precedent never taken into consideration. It is well-documented that the only lesson we ever learn from history is that we do not learn any lessons from it at all. However, what America should learn is that conventional tools of mandatory bans and restrictions imposed ...

When we are in the passion of young age, everything that is prohibited becomes glamorous and attractive. The age craves independence, liberty and the freedom of choice. The more people tell youngsters to stay away from a specific person or action, the more they feel like getting to know it.

The primary diagnoses in Jon’s case are substance-related and addictive disorders, but he should also be assessed for impulse-control disorders. Although Jon reported experimenting with hallucinogens, he does not use them frequently and did not report using them within the past 12 months, so the most appropriate diagnoses based on the information provided are severe alcohol use disorder (303.90 [F10.20]) and mild cannabis use disorder (305.10 [F12.10]). Substance use is often a consequence of another root disorder, so additional diagnoses have to be explored (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The most appropriate diagnosis based on Jon’s background information would ...

In light of the Trayvon Martin Controversy, it seems again obvious to all that police enforce the law differently across the United States. Trayvon Martin’s only crime was being the wrong color, in the wrong place, at the wrong place. Unfortunately, in America that crime all too frequently carries vigilante justice, carried out by the very people who are supposed to prevent it. We see this as case after case first comes into media focus then fades as another takes its place. It now is a deeply embedded assumption that the circumstances, race and gender must be considered ...

Marijuana legalization is one of the polarizing issues in the United States and other countries of the world. Different people have different contradicting viewpoints on the issue with some arguing that marijuana is medicinal, others arguing that the country is losing a lot of money that would have otherwise been trapped through fees imposed on the trade. On the other hand, the opponents believe that, marijuana is an outlawed substance, which should not be allowed in the United States.

I think marijuana use is one of the biggest drug problems facing college students today. It is easy to obtain and does not have the stigma of other drugs such as cocaine, crack or methamphetamines. Students smoke marijuana for different reasons, and it is some of these reasons that need to be identified and analyzed. Some may think it is cool to smoke marijuana and some may do it because of peer pressure and their desire to fit in with the crowd. This drug has become socially acceptable in society, which has led to the increase of its use. ...

Ever since the police and related agencies within states and the Federal Government initiated mechanisms for keeping data on crime, it has become easier to deduce the trends in criminal behavior and hence channel resources as duly required in combating such crimes.

Question 1 We went up to the attic, into a long, low room under the eaves where I’ve squirreled away some boxes of old stuff; I dug into one box, and the first thing I hauled out was the very thing he wanted. A thigh-length leather vest covered with fringe and studded with silver, it dates from around 1967, a fanciful time in college-boy fashions. Like many boys, I grew up in nice clothes my mother bought, but was meanwhile admiring Roy Rogers, Sergeant Rock, the Cisco Kid, and other sharp dressers, so when I left home I was ...

Change is inevitable but it is always good to look at the bigger picture in order to visualize the aftermath of any action. Marijuana as a drug has moved from being one of the most abhorred drugs by both the citizenry and the authorities to a legally acceptable drug in the streets and drug stores. This then leads to the question whether this is right or wrong and how it is going to benefit the nation, families and the individual.

It does not really matter that the legalization is focused on marijuana for medical use or recreational use. The bottom line ...

In this essay, the legalization of marijuana will be supported, as marijuana does not conclusively cause any harmful effects, and it can severely diminish law enforcement expenses.

Introduction:

The use of marijuana in medical treatment has long been a hotly debated treatment method. Typically used to treat chronic pain, marijuana’s analgesic properties have been proven an effective form of pain management. However, stigmas surrounding recreational drug use have clouded the public’s view of marijuana leading to controversial policy changes and the banning of marijuana use, medical or otherwise in some states.

Thesis:

By looking at both the benefits of marijuana and its negative connotations, I endeavor to show that marijuana can have substantial benefits in medical treatment. Stereotypes and stigmas should be removed from this discussion instead ...
