Alli Rising- Precis for Project #3


In the article “Blurred Boundaries: The Therapeutics and Politics of Medical Marijuana” (Feb 1,2012) J. Michael Bostwick, MD discusses that if medical marijuana is truly needed because it does not truly heal one that is in pain or sick but gives them a release from their pain or sickness. Bostwick supports his thesis by thoroughly explaining what medical marijuana is, the medical use it is for, dangers of use and the research results of using the drug. The purpose of this article is to prove to readers that it should not be used for medical reasons. In order to prove this he gives several reasons of why it is dangerous and results of studies that have been performed. The audience of Michael Bostwick’s article would be those who are sick and believe that medical marijuana would help them. It may make some feel better but it does not heal their illness.
