TAKING A LOOK AT MARIJUANA & IMMIGRATION
My TMCC classes are presenting their final argument papers in
class. So far they have split on whether or not to add an
extra year of science and math in Washoe County high schools, have
supported embryonic stem cell research, and have supported
legalization of marijuana.
Indeed the most entertaining presentation came from a
self-proclaimed "pot head," who, through the course of
the semester, has waxed from barely coherent to sharply
insightful. He had done some "street research" for
his paper and found that the price of pot in Reno is very close to
the price of gold: $280 an ounce. ( I am taking his word for
it, but gold has risen to around $450 an ounce. )
Of course the fine for misdemeanor marijuana possession ( under an
ounce ) is also quite high: $300. He thought his point was
that he is tired of paying $300 fines.
