Natural Sciences 191CNS48 - FYS- Cannibis Connection

Recreational use of cannabis was approved by Massachusetts voters last year, while under Federal law, cannabis is still listed as a Schedule I drug, the most serious category of illegal substances. This course will examine whether we know enough to use/enjoy this plant safely, and what we should study further. Through studying cannabis research and ongoing controversies around legalization, students will be prompted to open-mindedly examine research-based evidence and think like a scientist.

Open to Natural Sciences Freshman with a declared major or on the Natural Sciences Exploratory Track.
