READY!
Um, I'm looking for research articles, not stoner flicks.
Discover the rest as the game progresses.
I hope this helps.

I wonder what would happen if marijuana became legal in America?
The impact it would have would be...interesting to see. I can't say much about its current situation however that hasn't been said before.

You might look at the effect of the "war on drugs" on constitutional liberties. The police can confiscate anything you own if they say it's related to drug trafficking, even if there's no proof. One of the other sources covers the racial angle.
I know, that's not exactly culture. One place to start might be the whole "reefer madness" period in the 1930s. Look up Harry Anslinger and how he helped whip up anti-narcotic propaganda. Before then drugs like marijuana and heroin were legal.
Then contrast the attitudes towards dope and booze, illegal and legal. Alcohol causes more damage, economic, medical, and emotional, so why isn't it illegal too? Why did prohibitions on narcotics get started just as it became obvious that a prohibition on alcohol was a monumental failure? Why not regulate marijuana (and collect taxes on it) the way we regulate alcohol?
This is a stretch, but you can tie the hip-hop culture to the war on drugs. If you live in a ghetto and can't find a real job, you have to sell drugs to survive. The cops are persecuting you, the other dealers are after you, life is grim and usually short.

Fobbing off research onto strangers on the internet. Great way to get info for a paper or greatest way?

'''But a judge denied his attempts to use that defense during the trial and argued there is no legislation that allows it. Mackenzie's last motion, filed Tuesday, made reference to a bill signed by Gov. Terry Branstad that legalized cannabis oil for the treatment of epileptic seizures.
"I'm flabbergasted the court ordered me to not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth," Mackenzie said after the verdict. "It's an abomination of justice."'''
Mackenzie testified instead that his wife did not participate in the growing operation. He later told the newspaper he felt he wasn't getting a fair trial, which had closing arguments Tuesday.

"They were not allowed to hear enough information," she said. "It was definitely a very controlled environment. It's pounded into your head that no matter what your feelings are, you're going to follow the law."
Poor guy. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place because the few legal treatments for his condition are stupid expensive and don't work very well.

Q&A: Is politics influencing marijuana research?

The law's the law. people have to violate it and be ready to fight in court if they feel it's not just.
I'm baaaaaaack
So, I have an eight page essay on Marijuana and American Culture due at the end of the semester. So far I'm having trouble finding sources, and I'd like to politely ask for help finding some.
You can also use this thread to discuss the effect of marijuana on popular culture too, if you like.
