3. legalising marijuana presentation improved
Our concept is to make a documentary on whether Marijuana should be legalised for medicinal reasons. We will be interviewing someone who suffers from chronic back pain and see how marijuana affects them and if it is positive or negative. We will also be interviewing Peter Reynolds, who is President of CLEAR. CLEAR is an organisation that supports the cannabis law reform. We are also working on getting an interview with a political representative to see what the government think about this. In order to get information about how marijuana can influence the mind and body we are going to interview a scientist to see what their opinions are. We are also planning on interviewing an illegal drug dealer on how the legalisation of marijuana will affect his business. The target audience for this documentary will be anyone from 18 upwards as it will have some drug use featured in it.

We have made contact with two organisations who support the government reformation of cannabis: - Peter Reynolds, CLEAR - Jason Reed, LEAP We have also conducted various vox pops with people around college and the local area to see the public opinions. From these we have found that many people are for the legalisation of medicinal marijuana.
As our primary research suggested many people are supportive of the drug reform. We even found out that the Liberal Democrats want to legalise medicinal marijuana as they think it will bring down crime. There are also views that the legalisation of marijuana will lead to more people pretending to be ill in order to get it as you will need a prescription. There are also negative side effects of marijuana. The short term ones are: Sensory distortion Panic Anxiety Poor coordination of movement The long term effects are: Reduced resistance to common illnesses (colds, bronchitis, etc.) Suppression of the immune system Growth disorders Increase of abnormally structured cells in the body Reduction of male sex hormones Rapid destruction of lung fibers and lesions (injuries) to the brain could be permanent Study difficulties: reduced ability to learn and retain information Apathy, drowsiness, lack of motivation Personality and mood changes
The places we will be filming in will be: Someones house (the sufferer of back pain) A pod in college (the interviews with professionals) Outside sitting on a wall in Camden (drug dealer) A science lab in college (scientist) We will also be filming cutaways of a drug deal in a park and the backpain sufferer having a hard time getting around. There will also be footage from inside the Houses of Parliament of them discussing the Cannabis Law Reformation and a scientist doing research into marijuana in a science laboratory.
