MEDICAL MARIJUANA STUDY
This project was fueled by pure curiosity. As medical marijuana is a very big political topic right now, the question still stands: Should marijuana be legal? Through this project, I explored the history of cannabis, dispensaries, and patients. I looked very in depth from a patient’s perspective. I researched a few cases, and also completed a painting done through the perspective of a patient who has anxiety. I learned a lot about what makes the drug so therapeutic for some people, and I also learned how marijuana got the reputation it has today. Below is my final product, and some messy notes thrown in as well! I have done one interview (in a patient's perspective) and a write- up on Sanjay Gupta's weed documentary.

Below is the evolution of my art piece. This piece symbolizes the anxiety one might feel, and how cannabis relieves and engulfs your being, resulting in a calmer state of mind.
