Opinions and Opposition: Week 1

My part of this new blog is to explore the “Opinions and Opposition” against Weed Culture and figure out why. I personally think that it’s interesting to form a hypothesis about the topic, do some research, interviews or polling and drawing a conclusion based on that topic.

This week, I decided to poll my Facebook friends, who are based mainly in Massachusetts, Maine, and Florida and ask the simple question of if they believe recreational marijuana should be legal or illegal. I also asked them to comment on their reasons for why.

My Hypothesis: Many of my Facebook friends are my age (23), and because of that, I believe that about 80%-90% will believe it should be legal. I do believe that about 10% will respond saying it should be illegal and most of those that do will be over the age of 40.

The Results:

Conclusion: After my poll ended, I was very surprised at the number of responses I received for illegal and who I got them from. Of the 38 responses, I received, 29 said Legal and 9 said Illegal. Many of the responses I will cover in more depth in future blogs, however, what I got most out of doing this was learning what members of my family thought of the issue. My Father and Sister both said Legal, while my Mother and Brother said Illegal. I would like to encourage our readers to talk to their family members and see what they believe. Having this simple conversation can teach you a lot about your family.
