About MITHC |
We are a student group dedicated to the reform of marijuana policy. We support
the use of medical marijuana, its decriminalization and a common sense approach
to drug education.
Our goal is to make MIT students aware of the illegitimacies of the drug war
in hopes that education will result in a progression in drug policy. America
sentences hundreds of thousands of people every year for non-violent offenses
such as marijuana possession. Despite state rulings, the federal government
continues to oppress the rights of individuals going so far as to remove the
financial aid of students in need. Current drug policies are ill-conceived,
racist, and contributes to the corruption and privatization of prisons
nationwide. Because of these narrow views, a versatile plant is being
demonized and its industrial benefits are squandered at the expense of the
environment.
We seek to raise awareness of these issues though events on campus such as
festivals, baked sales, speakers, and an annual IAP class.
