College Culture- Rough Draft
Cannabis. Marijuana. Hemp. Weed. Pot. Dope. Grass. Mary Jane. Bud. Ganja. Reefer. Dank. The Devil’s Lettuce etc. One person may wonder, how can so many words mean one thing? But to a stoner, these words are used daily. Marijuana use is especially prevelant for the younger generation, namely college students.
According to the University of Michigan, who performed a study on marijuana use in colleges in the United States, marijuana use among full-time college students is at an all time high. In 2016, they reported that 39% of full-time college students had used cannabis at least once in the past year. Even more shocking, 4.9% of full-time college students indicated that they were daily or near daily users of the illegal drug. When comparing this statistic to the Morningside student body, that would mean about 65 students at Morningside are daily or near daily users of marijuana.
I have three interviews planned which will be the bulk of the paper. I’m still trying to figure out what to focus on.
