Mary Jane

"It's for school," I retort as people pass by and see that on my screen is the research paper I am finishing for Chemistry, on marijuana.

I understand them. Marijuana, weed, whatever you want to call it is one of the most controversial topics in the recent history of politics and drugs. So controversial that in the upcoming elections many states will make breakthrough decisions on legalizing marijuana for recreational use. Raising the spirits of both medical users and culture enthusiasts across the U.S. But, as I do this project I notice that the simple divide between and pro and anti weed Americans is not as solid and straight as it seems.

At least, 1/3 of the population has tried it once or more times. This number suggests that even those who do not support it have tried it. Quite hypocritical if you ask me, but maybe it take some time to know if you don't like it. Regardless, this proves that marijuana has a diverse history that is still being developed.
