Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Social System, Social Structure, Class, Social Stratification, grade: 85%, The Open University, course: DD308, language: English, abstract: This essay critically explores how the Medicalization of Marijuana is transforming the conduct of individuals and social worlds in contemporary North America, and argues that marijuana is being deregulated for capital gain in which the state is gaining a potent form of social control. Social control will be used as the power to have a particular set of definitions of the world realized in both spirit (laws, moral codes, customs, habits) and through conduct. This RQ shows the structure/agency debate that sociologist Alan Dawe (1970) refers to this dualism as the 'two sociologies'. That is one concerned with structure and structural constraint the other with individual action and agency.
