We will focus on the legalization of marijuana specifically. We will explore how use patterns have changed over time, as well as the way people see this drug now that it is becoming more widely accepted. When legalizing a substance, one must take into account the effects this shift in policy will have on the perception of the substance, as well as how those in the community use the substance. We will look at marketing strategies and the impact marketing has on the community’s perceptions of marijuana.

Lastly, we will discuss awareness of the addiction potential of this substance, regardless of its legal status.
