In class, one of our deliberation topics is Medical Marijuana. This is something that has been legalized since 2011 in 16 states. The purpose for this is to allow people that need marijuana to possess it in small amounts for their medical conditions. Although more states are starting to legalize medical marijuana, this is still a gray area. Under Federal Laws, it is still illegal. So where does this leave college students that need to have it on campus? This is where some controversy comes in. Should medical marijuana be allowed on campuses and in dorms? If so, what forms of this substance are acceptable? Should it just be edibles, joints, or both?
My thoughts on this topic is that I feel it should be legal. If students are able to have it anywhere else and they are living on campus, it should be available to them. This is like an inhaler, if you have asthma you should have it by you at all times. For people that absolutely need this for like anxiety attacks or any other serious issues, this resource should be something that is available to them if they need it, not to their disadvantage.
