The Connecticut state legislature should not legalize recreational marijuana because the drug will have harmful effects on the public health of residents.
In 2015, someone I knew became addicted to marijuana and I witnessed the ways the drug negatively impacted that person’s life. This experience prompted me to research the effects of marijuana extensively as a student at Central Connecticut State University.

BROCKTON I ve always instilled a sense of service into my students, Andrea Hurm said April 12.
When she came to Brockton s Trinity Catholic Academy in 2020 to teach middle school religion, one of the first things she wanted to know was what kind of service the school community conducted. After consulting the head of school, Dr. Jennifer Roy, and hearing how the coronavirus pandemic limited the types of activities that were possible, she decided to organize something that students, staff, and faculty could all safely participate in: a series of food drives held throughout the academic year.
