I'm a sociologist at Athabasca University where I coordinate,amongst other things, the introductory sociology courses (Sociology I and Sociology II). My current interests lie in the area of scholarly communication and pedagogy, the sociology of spirituality and religion, consciousness, and global transformation.
Great article! So easy to follow and appealing to the eye. It would be great to see more articles hiold this clarity.
Possibly illegal drug posession is seen as a factor in furthering illegal income by no income tax being paid on the income generated by the sale of these drugs.

Why do police pursue bank robbers? Shouldn’t that be the responsibility of the organsation they stole from?
Yes! very exciting right-brained Creativity! A manifestation motivated by creativity or does the creative thought only manifest when there is motivation present? Smoking marijuana enhances creative skills and right brain activity : )
I find it astounding that we see the facts and realize the absurdity of it all but yet it continues. Sociologists prove that our ‘public safety’forces and government originally designed for the people to protect their rights are the actual architects of the people’s demise and failings.
This is really great! I dig the the attempt to forge a dialog between academia and the rest of the world. From the sociological perspective these systematic injustices are so clear, its high time for a more approachable manifestation of quantitative statistics to be realized and made available.
