1. Dr. Schwabe - Social Problems Professor
I would like to interview Dr. Schwabe because she has an interesting view on how marijuana affects people. She shares the belief that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol, and essentially less harmful than peanut butter (because of high peanut allergies). She also knows people who smoke marijuana that are productive members of society.
2. John - Vice President of SSDP
John has great experience in the field of dealing with people who smoke marijuana. He has been to a National Conference where most people lobbying for change smoke marijuana. I've learned a lot from him about marijuana reform, and I think he would have a lot of information to provide.
3. Lauryn - President of SSDP
Lauryn is a potential candidate for Medical Marijuana, if she lived in a state where Medical Marijuana was allowed she would receive it. She has stomach problems which are soothed by marijuana. She would provide the non-recreational aspect of my paper.
4. Matthew - President of NORML
He would be great to interview because he is faced with stoner stereotypes on a daily basis. Being President of NORML comes with a certain social stigma. He would be perfect to interview because he could tell me first hand how these stereotypes affect him.
Questions:
1. What is the most popular "stoner stereotype" you have heard?
2. How do you think these stereotypes affect a person's view of marijuana?
3. What do you think about the D.A.R.E. program?
4. Have you ever smoked marijuana? If so, what were your SAT/ACT scores?
5. Do you know the dangers of alcohol to your body compared to those of marijuana?
6. How do you feel about the drug marijuana?
7. What do you think about anti-marijuana movies such as: Marihuana, Assassins of Youth, and Reefer Madness?
8. Have you seen the AbovetheInfluence Stoners in the Mist campain? What do you think about it?
9. Do you have any ideas for alternatives to the D.A.R.E. program?
10. Did you know that Bill Gates and Carl Sauer (the guy who calculated the temperature of Venus) smoke marijuana?

Could I get a copy of this when your done? Id love to read it. blk08@fsu.edu
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting to note the sucessful and popular people who have/still do smoke marijuana. I think the people you've chosen to interview are great because their opinion will be properly respected because of the intelligent manner in which they study and/or express their views about mariuana to the public. Your paper seems concise and well thought out and I appluad it. Adios.
