Legalizing Recreational Marijuana: Another Pandora’s Box Opened?
Journal Title: Social Behavior Research and Practice – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
When I was an adolescent in the 1960’s, I remember Sergeant Joe Friday of the popular television program Dragnet, discussing all the deficits of marijuana and arresting people either for using or potentially selling marijuana. I remember his immortal line “I judge weed by the company it keeps”. Moreover, the popular television show Cops, which aired until 2013, further reinforced these ideals.
