RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that the legalizing of marijuana is moving from state to state because of its ability to make changes in how patients are treated with differing medical dosages for different ailments.
As to the coughing the body will readjust itself to allow the medicinal components to be absorbed and thereby allows a gradual cessation of coughing. Further I disagree that the usage of medical marijuana is deviant behavior because of the studies associated with it and it can't do harm if it is a solution or something used to assist medically.
Also, the leverage of disapproval is possibly more for prescription drugs than illegal substance because they are abusing the trust of their physician and agreement in accepting medicine.
Thank you.

RESPONSE TO CO-STUDENT
I agree that as marijuana is approved the more acceptable it will be. Especially if it can alleviate pain and anxiety and is used in various forms to make the intake and assimilation easier. I feel that with the case of chemotherapy and its negative affects of extreme nausea that marijuana is a godsend for those fighting to live. Although listed as an disadvantage in affecting the cells in bronchial passages it is more or less based on heavy usage and not on controlled dosages. If it is a legal sanction to use marijuana it still is not to be deemed deviant behavior but with the connotations of marijuana and its association as an illegal drug it will still be seen in an eerie perspective as deviance.
Also, I agree that those who take either prescription or illegal drugs are seen as disvalued people but those people need help reasserting themselves as people who have value and are equal and able to change and go in a different direction. As far as deviant sanctions it is rather different to assign when a person is more or less crying for help when they turn to any type of illegal substance or drugs to keep going.
Thank you.

Take a position on whether the use of medical marijuana should constitute deviant behavior. Provide a rationale to support your response.
Medical Marijuana
In its purpose is to serve as a medical assistant to help those in conditions that have been found to react favorably and benefit from its administering. Since its use is administered in several methods, e.g., liquid tinctures, vaporizing or smoking dried buds, eating cannabis edibles, taking capsules, using lozenges, dermal patches or oral or dermal spays, this reflects that a process of study has been done to study the possible help to those who are in daily pain, or anxiety levels that can be alleviated or the possible mobility and structural responses can be adjusted more easier if in a relaxed state.
Further as an assistant for those troubled with sleeping problems, chemotherapy, and eating disorders it is a medicinal product used to aid and not cause conflict in the body that would render a change in the systematic functioning of the person’s physicality. As such the using of medical marijuana for ailment purposes is not a status that can be or should be viewed as possible deviant behavior. Deviant behavior is behavior that is outside the norms of conduct and since medical marijuana is not used by the majority of the populace some may view its use as deviant because of marijuana connection to criminal behavior and its historical context of being an illegal drug. Therefore, since its use is for a physical or mental issue it should not be viewed as deviant behavior or an act of deviance.
Legalizing marijuana in United States in its own ability to assist with medical conditions should be a step that is possible. If studies reflect medical marijuana is truly effective in its use than the allowance would probably be approved. But in theory the illegal drug usage would probably still be a challenge because all the participants that utilize marijuana for play and enjoyment are not in the class of those who are ill and would be given medical marijuana under controlled circumstance by medical professionals. Therefore, the act of legality has no impact on the illegal trade itself because it is still a very lucrative pastimes for those who sell the product.
Watch the posted documentary and share your position on legalizing marijuana in the United States. Then, compare two (2) social attitudes towards abuse of illegal drugs vs. prescription drugs. Provide evidence to support your response.
Two social attitudes towards abuse of illegal drugs versus prescription drugs are similar and that is intolerance and judgmental views toward behavior that is viewed as unacceptable and looked as a danger to the person taking the drugs and the populace because of the addictive purpose that acts like a controlling unit when the addicted person is hooked.
As a spur, in relation to drug usage and distribution is seen as unacceptable behavior with intolerance by the United States with its war on drugs because it is viewed as a destructive force against our youth, median group, elderly and country and continually constitute making steps toward getting assistance and treatment for those troubled by addiction. As the youth, median and elderly are our future our role is to not partake or encourage use of illegal substances. Further, drugs act like a stimulus in that it encourages high levels of crime and desensitization towards all legal sanctions, rules and ethics of correct conduct and threaten the populace. Thereby, the target is to control the substances themselves or the behavior of the people involved in the corner of crime (users, dealers, importers).
In consequence, it appears that the act of sentencing should be changed and the rulings itself could possibly be more favorably on another possibility to earn relief from the infringement of laws by assigning a sentence to work off the time by equating the years penalized to mandatory time of volunteer time in a fair exchange.
Thank you.
