Marijuana LegalizationThania Aquino

I chose marijuana legalization as my topic because there have been a lot of studies being done on people with disabilities or illnesses and showing that medicinal marijuana has helped reduce side eects, maintain pain and relax the user from the stress pain causes.

12 sketches

The 6 sub-sections I chose were tax revenue, mental health, physical health, voting, chemicals and intake. For each of my sub sections, I chose symbol and index (symbol being something thats learned and icon being something that resembles the word).

Signs with Connotations

Final Sign SetFor the first sign, I feel like its in between index and symbol since its an indicator of medicinal marijuana but the snakes are a sign you have to learn to understand what its for. The second sign is symbol because you have to learn about how much tax revenue marijuana will bring. The final sign is also a symbol because you have to learn that medicinal marijuana can be placed into capsule form. I went for the detailed approach because you really have to go into detail about the sicknesses and disabilities medicinal marijuana can help.
