The legalization of marijuana

T‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍he topic I choose is about the legalization/decriminalization of marijuana. I would like to see it become legal and decriminalized. An important component of scholarship is utilizing information from reliable sources to make informed statements and decisions about issues. The purpose of this assignment is to practice gathering information and assessing what it contributes to your understanding of an issue. To do this, select an article related to your chosen research topic and obtain an article published in a peer-reviewed journal article in the last five years. Examples of appropriate journals include the American Journal of Criminal Justice, the British Journal of Crimino‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍logy, Crime & Justice, Criminology & Criminal Justice, and the Journal of Criminal Justice. The article must feature some form of research that develops a better understanding of your issue—opinion papers and editorials do not qualify. Once you have identified and read your article, you are to write a one-page summary and critique of it. This should include a description of what the researchers were studying, how they went about gathering their data, what their findings were, the implications of those findings, and any problems or limitations with the research. At the top of your critique, provide your article reference in proper APA format. Example in attatchme‌‍‍‌‌‍‌‌‌‌‌‍‍‍‌‌‌‌‍nts
