The Marijuana Dilemma and the Army of the Seventies

Abstract

Marijuana continues to rise in popularity, especially among the youth of our nation. Legalization at this time seems rather remote, however, a dilemma exists today with the millions of Americans ignoring the law and using marijuana to varying degrees. The paper addresses the current issues surrounding the myth and symbology of marijuana and recommends ways to minimize its use by soldiers. Data were gathered primarily from the various US Government agencies which are concerned with drug abuse and narcotic control.
