This past week has been heavy on research. I have been filing through articles from all across the United States. I have been taking plenty of notes and marking important articles that I would like to model my own after. I am focusing primarily on the laws that have been established state by state. Right now, I am just trying to get organized with my research and find what the most important things to focus on are.
I am a little lost on what I should do next and how I should reach out to the specific legislators. I am hoping to wrap up my research in the early days of next week and begin searching for people to interview. I am trying to find a good angle for my story about legislature but I am not sure I can truly set my mind on one until i speak to them directly.
As far as Purdue NORML, they never reached out to me after my initial email. I would like to write an intense feature article on them specifically and follow a couple of them around for a few days just to see what their days consist of. I believe they could be very beneficial to our package and I think they should have a whole article dedicated to them because a big part of their lives are dedicated to marijuana legalization. I also believe that they would be good help for me to reach out to legislature. I believe they are working with people in the Senate and the House already.
