discussion post on chemical dependency
Marijuana has been a focus in our country for many years. More recently states have been passing laws permitting marijuana for both medicinal and recreational purposes. There is a lot of conflicting information. As a social worker you should be informed of the laws and uses related to marijuana. You should be aware of the tenets of a biblical worldview and other professional literature related to the topic. Researching and discussing this topic can enhance engagement and advance a collaborative learning experience.
You will focus on the medicinal uses of marijuana and discuss the pros/cons with at least two of the medical/mental health diagnoses marijuana is prescribed to treat (cancer, epilepsy, arthritis, Parkinson’s to name a few). Please discuss the pros and cons as it relates to what is said in the professional literature, not from chemical treatment facilities or pro-marijuana interest groups. You must also include your personal perspective and the Christian worldview. You can choose to focus on the pros and cons of the legalization of recreational marijuana instead. Again, you should discuss the pros and cons as it relates to what is said in the professional literature, not from chemical treatment facilities or pro-marijuana interest groups. You must also include your personal perspective and the Christian worldview.
There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer for these discussions; therefore, you will not be graded on your opinion but on the academic quality of your support of and reflection on that opinion.
that is the direct assignment
