                              Marijuana Reconsidered

      Ann Landers once said, “The naked truth is better than the best-dressed lie.” Marijuana is a drug made from the dried leaves and flowering parts of the hemp plant. It is one of the most strictly classified illegal drugs in the United States. David Smith mentions “In the late 1930s the Federal Narcotics Bureau spearheaded on all-out attack on marijuana…as a result marijuana was mislabeled a narcotic and very strict legal penalties were imposed on those who used or sold the drug” (Smith, 1). This research will discuss marijuana in terms of medical marijuana, Charlotte’s Web, and legalization.
