My main reflection on the medical marijuana campaign is that students have the capacity to initiate real change. |
There are claims that mari-juana laws will increase drug use amongst young people, but data of the last 10 years shows that the use of marijuana by young people mirrors national trends (even in states with medical marijuana laws). |
This is really an issue of compassion for people in need. If that wasn't the cause, I don't think the Senate would have overridden the governor's veto. This is a situation of tremendous political will and that comes from a place of compassion. |
