In an earlier entry, I discussed an article about the booming California cannabis dispensaries. California is the leading state for legal Cannabis growth and distribution. In the article, At This School, It's Marijuana in Every Class by Tamar Lewin of the NY Times, marijuanna is seen as a possible solution to Michigan's economic depression. With distribution and growth now legal in the state, one developing school is taking full advantage of the situation. Of course there are limits to the state's flexibility. For example, one must be a certified recipient for medical marijuana and have designated provider. The school has been educating a very diverse group of people from various backgrounds on the science behind cannabis growth and preparation. This school is meant to produce a group of people who are capable of distributing Cannabis in a proper way. The school itself isn't any Harvard. In fact, it is limited to a few suburban houses, but the concept is intriguing to many people.
The article was decently written. The lead was catchy and entertaining while still fulfilling its informative purpose. The body contained sufficient detail about the school itself. However, there should have been more detail on the future of the school. How is enrollment? Will it be expanding? The ending was very rough. The last sentence was a quote by a student who said,"...And then I suddenly thought, hey, I really am going to grow medical marijuana.” Wow. Did the student give this statement stoned? The story wasn't very professional and the idea of the school didn't seem to be taken too seriously by the reporter.
