Directions
Think of something that is currently classified as illegal in the United States. Now, consider what would happen if that was no longer illegal.
What are the possible consequences? Be creative and don’t take the easy way out. For example, marijuana is not the best example here as many states are taking steps to legalize or decriminalize marijuana usage.
Be sure you include research to support your posts. For example, what do other countries do? How does public policy differ?
How might it impact institutions in society: law enforcement, prisons, education, communities, the environment, etc.
Your paper should address how this change might impact individuals based on their race, class, and/or gender.
