Welcome

This is a short questionnaire to support my research project concerning the sociology of law.

Some sociologists believe that law is a reflection of our (society's) perspective and that ultimately we can control it but others disagree and believe the law no longer represents us and that we have no contribution to it.

With this in mind, this research will question the legality of marijuana and whether it still reflects the dominant view of society.

It doesn't matter what your opinion is, but it does need to be your personal opinion.

All results are anonymous and confidential.

Thankyou for your help,

Vicky
