From the Editor

I

know what you’re thinking. “Oh, of course a college newspaper is going to write about marijuana.

Kids these days, right?”

Yes, I admit it is a little cliché that a student newspaper writes about the “wonders of weed and how it should be legal, man.” But I assure you that is not what this issue is about.

With the gray area of legalization around the country — some states have legalized it recreationally, while others medicinally — it is difficult for anyone to understand the current status of marijuana.

That is why I believe it is important to take a good, hard look at what marijuana actually does. No assumptions, no biased reporting one way or the other, just the facts.

One reason it is difficult to understand these facts is because there has been so little research done on marijuana and the science behind the chemical compounds within it. More research is definitely needed, and currently more is being done thanks to the increasingly relaxed laws surrounding the plant.

The reason I say this is because there are so many articles citing studies that claim weed cures cancer. I can only cite one non-scientific, anecdotal personal experience that it does not — although I have seen some opposing research that MATTHEW looks promising.

STRISSEL My father battled cancer for two years and used marijuana to relieve his EDITOR-IN-CHIEF symptoms from chemotherapy, radiation treatment and brain surgery. While marijuana did help him be able to eat a meal without puking, as well as helped with the aches and pains throughout his entire body, marijuana did not stop the cancer from growing.

This is why I wanted to do an entire special issue on marijuana. Not to be “cool” or “edgy” when it comes to the stories we write in The Lumberjack. But to truly inform our readers of the facts and cut through all the nonsense and stigmas and false-claims surrounding the drug.

It is my hope that you, dear reader, will read these articles with an open mind regardless of your current personal opinion. Yes, we are students, but we are also professional journalists. We strive to tell the whole truth, whether it’s popular or not.

So please take what you read in this issue to heart, and you will be much more well informed on the facts of marijuana.

Medical Marijuana Still Highly controversial Owen Sexton

T

he Arizona House rejected a proposal March 21 that would have changed the language in the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act (AMMA) to include concentrates and edibles. Some law enforcement officials have begun confiscating concentrates from cardholders. A worker from Greenhouse of Flagstaff, a local medical dispensary, discovered this late last month.

While most counties in the state allow medical cardholders to have concentrates such as shatter, resin and hashish, authorities in Yavapai County have made arrests and prosecuted medical cardholders for having concentrates.

The Arizona Supreme Court is currently reviewing an appeal involving an arrest made last year of a cardholder in Yavapai County as reported by the Arizona Capitol Times.

Budtender Kelsey Roger, said cardholder, was visiting family on the reservation and driving back to Flagstaff with her daughter March 21 on Highway 89. After passing Gray Mountain, which is just south of Cameron, she noticed an unmarked black Dodge Challenger that started to follow her.

“Everyone before me was going around 80 or so, going over the speed limit,” Roger said. “I was keeping up but about a mile or two before I saw him, I did slow down.”

She stated she made eye contact with the driver and after she passed him, he pulled out, started following her and pulled her over after a couple of miles.

“He told me that he pulled me over because I had one of those suction cup iPhone chargers hanging from my window, as well as a scratch on it,” Roger said. “He was just saying it wasn’t supposed to be there.”

Roger told the officer she was headed back to Flagstaff for a doctor’s appointment, and he asked her and her daughter to step out of the car to perform a search. Roger had a wax pen in the cup holder of the car, which the officer saw. He then asked her if she was a medical marijuana cardholder.

During the search, the officer discovered several grams of different kinds of concentrates, an edible cookie and some gummy bears, two other pens, a couple of pre-rolled joints and an eighth of an ounce of marijuana bud.

Roger said she explained to the officer that she was not only a cardholder, but a licensed dispensary agent and was not over her legal allotment per the AMMA, which is 2.5 ounces.

The officer then asked her if she had smoked at

all that morning, which she replied she had not.

He then asked her to perform a sobriety test, which she submitted and passed.

Following the test, the officer informed Roger that she and her daughter were free to go and that’s where she said things got interesting.

According to Roger, the officer said to keep an eye out for a letter from the court. When she got in her car, she discovered he had not taken everything.

“He left all my edibles, and he even left a half gram of shatter and resin,” Roger said. “But he did take my Apex and two wax pens, a half gram of resin, a gram of terp sauce and a preroll.”

Roger did not get the officer’s name or badge number, but stated she has seen what she thinks is the same black Challenger patrolling Highway 89. She has yet to receive a letter concerning the stop and is still confused by the event.

Greenhouse Manager and Grower Ralph Lozania explained that confusion is a common theme when it comes to law enforcement and the Arizona Department of Health Services (DHS).

“Having worked four years back here now, we get inspected by the department of health twice a year,” Lozania said. “They come and check out the facility. But the thing that’s weird is that they treat it like a restaurant. They come in, check the sinks for hand soap and towels,

THE LUMBERJACK | JACKCENTRAL.ORG

they’ll look on the floor and if they see a smudge or grime, they get on their hands and knees and scrape it up, telling us to clean the floor.”

Lozania is concerned that the inspectors are not asking anything about the actual plants they grow and medicine they produce.

“They don’t ask about what we put into the plants, how healthy they are and what insecticides and herbicides are being used,” Lozania said. “They don’t look at the [fertilizer] ingredient list to make sure that we’re sending healthy medicine out to the public.”

With the DHS being the agency that screens AMMA applications and issues medical cards, Lozania believes they should at least be showing a little bit of interest into what is being produced for patients.

“It just strikes me as a little odd that they’re [DHS] the ones regulating it and they don’t know anything about it,” Lozania said.

Lozania also recalled a time when he was budtending and an officer came in asking about concentrates.

“An officer came in and asked the receptionist saying, ‘we’re having a hard time understanding what’s going on here,” Lozania said. “People are leaving your dispensary, we’re stopping them and they have this tar-like substance that they take from your packaging and place into their own silicone containers and we have no idea what it is. We’re arresting them Continued on Page 6

AU and the other Arizona public universities are in the process of finalizing tuition rates for the 2019 to 2020 academic year. Members of the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR), university presidents and other administrators met over video conference on April 5 to discuss various proposals.

President Rita Cheng spoke about NAU’s plan to slightly increase resident tuition for incoming students.

“Our proposed increase of 2.5% reflects the lowest percentage increase I have recommended since coming to NAU,” Cheng said.

ASNAU is in favor of this tuition proposal as President Dylan Graham also spoke during the video conference.

“We are extremely pleased with the lowest tuition increase since the beginning of the NAU Pledge Program,” Graham said.

“We thank President Cheng and her team for keeping our education attainable and affordable.”

Tuition rates will also remain the same for 98% of continuing undergraduate students on Flagstaff’s mountain campus. This is because of NAU’s Pledge Program, which guarantees tuition rates for four years.

NAU’s graduate students will also be impacted. According to a tuition proposal email, graduate students who are residents will pay $756 more in tuition, or 6.9%.

Furthermore, non-resident graduate students will be charged $1,674 more, roughly 7%.

Cheng cited student success and quality education as the driving forces behind NAU’s refined tuition model.

“NAU developed this tuition proposal around our goals for student success,” Cheng said. “We strive to enhance the high-quality education for our Lumberjacks.”

President Rita Cheng has also lessened and eliminated many fees. According to an email from NAU, this includes over 575 class fees in the past four years. Despite the eradication of many charges, NAU plans on increasing the Health and Learning Fee and the Green Fee. ABOR will meet April 11 to finalize the university’s tuition and fee proposals for the upcoming school year.

Man shot in the neck Trevor Skeen

A

n altercation took place between a police officer and an unidentified civilian, leading to an officerinvolved shooting in the 2100 block of East Route 66 shortly after 4 p.m. April 8.

According to a Flagstaff Police Department (FPD) media release, the conflict began when the subject refused to comply with an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

According to the release, the officer deployed pepper spray toward the subject, who was aggressive and threatening. The subject proceeded to retaliate with pepper spray of his own, which caused the officer’s eyesight to be badly impaired. The officer discharged his weapon once, and the bullet hit the suspect in the neck area.

The arresting officer and his backup provided first aid to the injured suspect on scene. Once paramedics arrived, the civilian was transported to the Flagstaff Medical Center for emergency medical treatment.

In addition, the officer involved sustained minor eye injuries.

The man survived the shooting and is being treated for his injuries at the Flagstaff Medical Center.

More information will be provided once it is available, as the investigation is ongoing.

More information will be released by CCSO as the investigation continues.

now for possession of narcotics.’”

A Greenhouse extractor went out to the police station and explained the process of creating concentrates, but according to Lozania, there is still an issue with officials educating themselves.

“It comes down to money, the state is making $150 per patient per year, and you have to pay it every year, so they’re content just to get the fee,” Lozania said. “And when it comes to the police, they just have so much on their plates that they already have to enforce, and when you actually have to study and take time to learn about it, I think that they’re just too busy.”

According to the DHS’ official medical dispensary checklist, which can be found online, inspectors should be asking about what is being used on the plants, as well as yield numbers.

However, according to Lozania, it seems like the DHS may be skipping certain parts on their dispensary checklist. He is concerned about this because of the number of people who actually use marijuana for medical purposes.

He wants people to be getting the best quality medicine possible.

“Coming into this business, as it was just starting, I didn’t know if it was just going to be people wanting to get high or actual patients, and it was patients,” Lozania said. “We have parents coming in to shop for their kids saying that it is a last resort, they didn’t want to come to this because of what they heard growing up, but there’s nothing else helping their child with seizures.”

Lozania also said that there are many older people who want to try marijuana to help them with issues they may be having.

“Elderly people come in saying the same thing, and also [are] complaining about bad side effects from pharmaceutical prescriptions, so they want to give marijuana a try and they end up becoming repeat customers,” Lozania said.

Lozania further stated that he expects recreational marijuana to be legalized in Arizona in 2020, meaning more dispensaries. This concerned him as he was worried the growth already occurring would be fueled even more in the market and lax regulation would only get worse.

“Seeing that it actually does provide medical benefits for people who need it, including kids, it proves to me this stuff works on a lot of levels with a lot of different people,” Lozania said.

The AMMA currently is still growing, and according to DHS’ most recent medical marijuana monthly report states there are 191,683 qualifying patients as of Feb. 2019.

This is a growth of over 30,000 patients from the 158,488 in February 2018.

CBD effects on dogs Teana Long

A

s the popularity of marijuana begins to rise nationally and locally, new uses the drug for pets have also come into light.

For many people, medical marijuana is used to help control their pain. However, the potential benefits of marijuana are not only applicable to people, but dogs as well.

According to an article written by chief veterinary officer, Dr. Jerry Klein, on the American Kennel Club (AKC) website, “There’s anecdotal evidence from dog owners suggesting it can treat pain, especially neuropathic pain, as well as helping to control seizures.”

The article also mentions many owners are beginning to experiment with CBD oil, also known as cannabidiol, to help manage their dog’s pain. “[CBD oil] does not contain delta-9tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that gives marijuana its psychoactive properties,” Klein stated on the website.

Additionally, most CBD oil comes from cannabis hemp, not actual marijuana.

Although the website stated there is no formal study on how CBD impacts dogs, scientists infer that it can help maintain balance in a dog’s body and keep it healthy. According to the website, dogs will not actually get high and instead will just feel relaxed and CBD oil for dogs is completely legal and safe for animal consumption.

On the website, Klein also stated that there is evidence from dog owners that CBD oil may also be able to treat a wide range of illnesses in dogs, such as pain, seizures and anxiety. Many dogs experience separation anxiety when their owners leave them for any amount of time.

Josh Weiss, the owner of a 6-year-old Jack Russell terrior, said his pet has struggled with anxiety for as long as he has owned him.

“His anxiety got so bad that he would sit and cry in the house whenever I left,” Weiss said. “I couldn’t take him to class and I couldn’t leave him home alone, I really did not know what to do.”

Weiss said to help his dog, someone recommended he use CBD oil treats. As a result, he saw instant change.

“I can leave the house and not worry that he is going to freak out,” Weiss said. “He likes the treats and they help him stay calm.

Weiss said that his Jack Russell has become like a new dog and that he sleeps better when he

has to leave the house.

Another student and dog owner who uses CBD oil treats is junior Rylee Halla. She uses these treats for her elderly dog, Sushi.

“When my veterinarian recommended CBD oil treats I thought he was crazy,” Halla said. “However, the change in my dog’s attitude has been insane.”

Halla’s dog is a 12-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi and his hips have begun to bother him. At first, Halla said she was skeptical, but the change in Sushi’s attitude has been remarkable.

“We tried several different options to help manage his pain, but nothing has worked as well as CBD treats,” Halla said. “It works for Sushi because he thinks he is just getting a yummy treat rather than medicine.”

CBD treats and oils can be found at a variety of places. Stores like Pet Club carry these CBD oil treats — they are also available online.

Also stated on the AKC website, when it comes to risks, specifically for dogs who consume CBD oil may experience dry mouth

THE LUMBERJACK | JACKCENTRAL.ORG

due to a decrease in saliva production, lowered blood pressure and drowsiness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to approve CBD oil for dogs. This means that there has not been much research on CBD oil for dogs and that a dosage limit has yet to be produced. As a result, the AKC recommends keeping a close eye on dogs who have been introduced to CBD oil and to start out with small dosages.

In order to get more information on CBD for animals, the AKC’s Canine Health Foundation is currently sponsoring a study at Colorado State University to see the effects of CBD oil on epileptic dogs. The study hopes to present useful data for dog owners and veterinarians.

As marijuana continues to become legal in more states, there may be more studies about the many ways marijuana can help humans and animals. CBD oil, depending on the animal, situation and condition, may aid in making their lives easier.

ore than 30 people showed up along West Historic Route 66 in front of City Hall April 4, calling on Attorney General William Barr to immediately release the report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible ties between President Trump during his 2016 campaign and Russia.

Flagstaff local Pat Smith wondered why Barr had not released the full report despite the presence of grand jury information.

“With both Nixon and Clinton we had the full reports released,” Smith said. “Grand Jury information and all.”

She went as far as to say the attorney general should be impeached.

“Barr should be impeached for abuse of power and obstruction of justice, other than that he’s a great guy,” Smith said.

One protester admitted to not being a local. Florida native Steve Reedberry had just helped his daughter and grandson move into town and heard about the protest. He felt the need to voice his discontent with Barr’s handling of the report.

“I think it’s ridiculous that we just spent two years and $25 million doing an investigation only to hand it back to Trump essentially,” Reedberry said. “The attorney general is a Trump puppet. He’s a political hack and he’s obviously hiding what’s really in the report.”

He further argued that the summary Barr released of the report was even being called out by investigators on Mueller’s team as reported

by The New York Times.

Local Bill Wade demanded that Congress be given the full report.

“This is a country of laws, and no one is above the law, not even the president,” Wade said. “Let’s let Congress look at the report.

Let’s let them be the ones who decide whether there is something to be concerned about for our country”.

The report is still sealed up at the justice department, and Barr has announced he is working with Mueller’s office on redactions to the report with a goal of a mid-April release to both Congress and the public, according to Time.

Weed creates unfair federalism caitlin burke

Stoners and squares in love

I

t is easier to incorporate someone’s lifestyle into anothers if they are similar to begin with. But differences inevitably show up. For example, sometimes one party of a relationship partakes in a certain recreational plant and the other does not.

This is a big difference. A lot can be inferred about someone based on if they smoke weed or not. And a lot of those inferences put stoners as being incompatible with squares.

Stoners tend to see squares as unable to relax, too concerned with how they are perceived and close minded. Squares tend to see stoners as lazy, irresponsible and blind to the consequences of their actions.

Even as people and society mature past these binary beliefs, these assumptions stick around in our subconscious. Even in Q a loving, long-term relationship between a REDMOND stoner and a square, it can be hard to move OP-ED WRITER past these assumptions.

The issue can bring up insecurities, especially for the square. It can make that person wonder if they are cool enough for their partner, or if their partner will eventually choose weed over them.

On the stoner’s end, they can be faced with judgment and a sense of moral righteousness from their partner. They might feel like they have to hide a part of their life. In the end, one partner smoking while the other does not is only one lifestyle difference — one of countless, that has to be reconciled with in order to make a relationship work. In my relationship, it has been harder reconciling our different beliefs on “Family Guy” than on smoking pot.

This issue can be treated just like any other major difference. Both individuals should respect the choices of their partner. If they do not, there really is no point in continuing the relationship.

The stoner should respect their partner’s choice to not smoke and should never pressure them into it. Generally, you should never pressure your partner into doing anything they are uncomfortable with. If you ask your partner if they want to smoke and they decline, drop it. Do not try to convince them or continue to ask them. Just respect their decision and trust that if they change their mind, they will tell you.

Squares should respect their partner’s choice to smoke.

Understand that they have already weighed the costs and made their choice. If a square does not want their partner to smoke around them, they should say so and the couple should work together to set up boundaries. Because my partner and I have talked about and worked through our different beliefs on weed, we have a stronger relationship. It is just as good, if not better than if we were the same.

So, go talk about your true feelings and then go blaze it.

t’s sometimes easy to forget that weed is federally illegal in the United States, given that legalized CBD-infused products have increased in popularity throughout recent years.

Especially on a college campus like NAU, getting high off of a variety of weed products is seen as a nonchalant pastime despite the possible outcome of being arrested.

This casual attitude toward states like California or Colorado, which threw the federal outlaw of marijuana out the door.

It’s strange how federalism can work like that.

U.S. federal law deems weed “for any purpose” against the law since 1970 with the implementation of the Controlled Substances Act. But clearly, this hasn’t stopped states such as California and Colorado from legalizing marijuana.

As of 2019, 10 out of the 50 states in the U.S. have decided that federal control over the use of weed is not as important as the increased interest from its local state constituents.

The growing trend of decriminalized recreational marijuana is great, but it raises some questions about the effectiveness of the federalist system that the U.S. depends on. It’s pretty apparent that if federalism were not in place, states wouldn’t have even been able to create their own weed laws based on what their residents wanted.

My intention isn’t to bash the entire system of the U.S. federalism because it generally works well in most cases.

The issue with federalism is that it gets in the way of people who rely on medical marijuana to relieve debilitating chronic pain and are stuck in a state like Texas, where it is strictly illegal because of law created almost 50 years ago.

Yet, people in Los Angeles and Las Vegas are able to brag on Instagram about munching on THC gummy worms while also hitting a wax pen with gelato-flavored THC, just for the fun of it.

Creating a disparity between people who need marijuana for very valid medical purposes and people who live in one of the richest regions in the country and buy a copious amount of edibles when they’re

bored is a problem of federalism.

Weed’s divisive impact on the country’s government system has showcased federalism’s shortcomings.

I’m all for states having a voice, but the current situation of having medical and recreational marijuana legal in only a certain handful of states has created an unfair, location-based bias around the availability of weed’s beneficial properties.

Along with the location-based bias, authorities take the criminalization of weed extremely seriously in the states where it is illegal, even if that state is a 30-minute drive from a recreationally legalized state.

The U.S.’s obsession with regulating a drug that is less harmful than alcohol in the remaining 40 illegal states almost feels like one is living in a totally separate country compared to the attitude around weed in the states in which it has been legalized.

I understand that government authorities are just doing their job by upholding the law, but it is a little ridiculous to think that it can be totally fine to smoke weed just across state lines and be imprisoned for it on the other side.

This issue gets even more frustrating when taking racial bias into account for the criminalization of weed.

Personally, it infuriates me to think that “Despite roughly equal usage rates, Blacks are 3.73 times more likely than whites to be arrested for marijuana” according to ACLU.org.

Yet, if that person had been in any of the 10 legalized states, they wouldn’t have been arrested. How is that fair?

The U.S. is a funny country.

This polarizing difference is why there is an issue in the effectiveness of federalism when it comes to weed.

Throughout the early 20th we have it all. Weed is often a century, weed criminalization was enforced political issue, which is annoying when we’re so based on stereotypes. It goes without saying that people of color were treated as caricatures and close to having it fully legalized.

While we live in the blissful ignorance of dehumanized for much of American history.

When our government holds derogatory medical cards and weed shops, we forget that connotations of people of color, this prejudice weed hasn’t always been so carefree.

On June 18, 1971, the War on Drugs seeps into legislation. The conversation around began. This initiative started under the Nixon the War on Drugs usually focuses on Black administration and it was aimed to target the people, but Latinos are also disproportionately growing heroin epidemic and illegal drug trade affected.

The rhetoric about drugs in the U.S., in the United States. However, to even today, is racial. quote a 2011 Global Commission During his 2016 on Drug Policy report, “The presidential campaign, Donald War on Drugs has failed.”

Trump infamously said, Once Ronald Reagan “[Mexican immigrants tightened the reins on the are] bringing drugs.

They don’t even try to keep it quiet.

The War on Drugs grew into somewhat of a one cares that I smoke weed because I am a race war. It allowed police to target minorities in White woman.

Whether the War on Drugs is to they are simply arrested for things White people fully blame or not, discrepancies in drug charges get away with.

So, next time you roll up, remember it’s not among races are present. Weed has always been dangerous for specific groups of minorities, yet that simple for some.

Editors note: This story is written under an alias to protect the writer

here I am, left hand in a bag of barbecue-flavored Lays, right hand aimlessly scrolling through Hulu trying to find something mindless enough to watch.

I barely even notice my untidy T-shirt or that my hair hasn’t been brushed in what looks like days.

Who am I? Well, I’m the lazy stoner.

Perhaps the most common stereotype for weed smokers is the lazy stoner who sits around all day doing nothing but smoking doobies and eating Ho Ho’s — or in my case, an entire pan of cornbread.

Like with any stereotype, there are stoners who fit this narrative and those who do not.

The idea that smoking weed destroys all ambitions and turns you into some lazy sack of potatoes is part of the reason that marijuana is so frowned upon in our society, and specifically, our state.

Part of the reason this stereotype is so common is because of the intense relaxation that marijuana can give you. Certain strains, specifically indica strains, can make you feel extremely at peace and calm — something that can often lead to spending the whole day in bed or on the couch.

However, this doesn’t mean that smoking weed in general makes you lazy.

From my experience, it is very possible to smoke weed recreationally and still handle all of your responsibilities and priorities. Smoking weed doesn’t have to interfere with your job or your classes. And the truth is, it won’t, unless you let it.

The way weed affects your productivity depends on you and your motives as a person.

If you smoke a joint with the intentions of being lazy and doing nothing but watching MTV all day, then that’s probably what you’ll do, and your productivity will be compromised.

But on the other hand, if you smoke a little bit while also keeping in mind that you have other responsibilities to take care of that day, it probably won’t get in the way of your other priorities.

It really comes down to two things: your own personal motivation and, obviously, your strain of choice.

As long as you are able to motivate yourself, even when high, weed really shouldn’t hinder your daily life. However, some strains can make it nearly impossible for you to get up and do something, especially depending on your tolerance and how much you’ve smoked.

I wouldn’t recommend sitting around smoking a blunt filled with some heavy indica strain on a day when you have tons of homework or a big presentation to do.

Instead, save it for a day when you have less responsibilities and really can dedicate a whole day to binge watching some mediocre TV show.

Keeping an eye on the strain you’re smoking can help you to know if that smoke sesh will hinder your ability to be productive later on.

So, while smoking cannabis does have the potential to make you feel tired and demotivated, it doesn’t have to make you feel that way. And for most weed smokers, that really isn’t the case.

There are plenty of people out there who can go about their day-to-day life while still smoking weed recreationally. The two things are not mutually exclusive, and continuing to push this idea that stoners cannot be productive or ambitious human beings is harmful to people who sometimes just want to roll up and smoke a J. Smoking weed doesn’t determine your work ethic. It’s possible to have good weed and good work ethic — just ask my straight As.

Students go through tremendous amounts of stress and once their schoolwork is done it is best to find a way to relax from a hectic day. Marijuana, through consumption, can help students relax and will not cause them to worry about whatever was causing them to feel stressed from the day.

There could be the argument that students will not be using marijuana for the correct reasons and could sell it to other students but honestly, students will always find a way to access marijuana. This is the same for underage students getting alcohol.

Students who have been prescribed marijuana for medical reasons will use it for whatever their doctor instructed them to use it for.

NAU can take note from other countries and states where marijuana is legal and does not cause many issues. In the Netherlands, marijuana can be purchased from designated stores and it does not require a prescription from a doctor. The only requirement is whoever is purchasing it has to be 18 or older and it cannot be consumed or smoked in public.

In Arizona, marijuana cannot be purchased for recreational use but it can be purchased for medical use. Medical marijuana is what I think students who experience anxiety from schoolwork need.

NAU should weigh the risk factors of marijuana and see how it can possibly lower alcohol use. Somewhere in the future, I predict marijuana will become legal throughout the United States and universities will have to comply with the changing laws.

own south in Tucson, two UA students are being charged with misdemeanors for protesting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection campus visit last March.

Border Protection was invited to their campus on behalf of the UA Criminal Justice Association student club to give a presentation.

If interested students want to learn about a future career in Customs and Border Protection, then they are entitled to that.

However, the unannounced campus visit is extremely insensitive in this political climate due to the DACA students at the Tucson campus of UA, which is only 60 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Students should be notified in advance of Border Patrol visits to campus,” a letter from the Associated Students of UA said. “And there should be an understanding that the ‘mere presence’ of Border Patrol on campus can negatively affect DACA and undocumented communities.”

Along with the issue of insensitivity that this brings, the charges against two students who defended the DACA perspective are completely unreasonable.

The Arizona Republic article that recounts the event states that UA President Robert Robbins said the protest represented a

CBD offers healing without the high Paige Arvizu

annabidiol, also known as CBD, is a non-psychoactive derivative of cannabis that has found its way into many consumer oils, creams, candies and drinks.

Many of its users claim the chemical helps relieve pain, stress, sleeplessness and a number of other ailments.

According to an article from CBS News, CBD is primarily sold online and is extracted from specially grown cannabis plants. CBD is rendered from a plant called hemp, which was recently legalized in late December 2018.

Hemp was reclassified under federal law as a low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) yielding form of cannabis and cannot

24

contain more than 0.3%. THC is the active ingredient in marijuana that gets users high.

Senior James Megley said he has developed a fascination for CBD and its potential uses. Megley saw a lucrative opportunity in the chemical and began selling it to online customers late last year.

“I started Persistent Health, which is a distributor of pure CBD,” Megley said. “I’ve been selling for a couple of months now.”

Megley said his parents were the ones who introduced him to the potential benefits of CBD. He said his mother is a nutritionist and recommended CBD to many of her patients even before the chemical was legalized in the United States.

“If someone has an ailment

THE LUMBERJACK | JACKCENTRAL.ORG

like post-traumatic stress disorder or depression, there’s only so much that can be done for them on a physiological level,” Megley said. “So, when my mom would run into cases like that, she’d recommend CBD supplements under the table.”

Megley said he’s seen many people benefit from using CBD as opposed to prescription drugs to alleviate certain conditions. He mentioned David Wells, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, as one example.

“A lot of athletes use CBD for chronic pain,” Megley said. “I did a podcast with New York Yankees pitcher David Wells who had experienced shoulder pain because he’s a left-hand pitcher. His shoulder pain was nearly unbearable after 40 or

50 years of playing ball, so he went onto prescription drugs to numb the pain. We got him off of those by introducing CBD fluid.”

Some users claim CBD can even work as a dual-action solvent. Megley said one of his friends used it for multiple issues and found relief in all areas.

“One of my friends uses CBD for anxiety and depression, and it’s helped her a ton,” Megley said. “She also uses it for her pain. A lot of ailments aren’t singular. When you’re able to kill two birds with one stone with something like CBD — which has practically no side effects — it’s empowering.”

Freshman Ashley Scholz said she started using CBD last year after a doctor in alternative medicine

recommended it to her. She said she uses it to help alleviate her anxiety and symptoms of a disease called hyperthyroidism, which can cause accelerated metabolism and severe weight loss in humans, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“My whole life I’ve struggled with chronic illness, specifically Hashimoto’s disease, a severe form of hyperthyroidism,” Scholz said. “I was willing to try anything that could potentially assist in relieving my symptoms.”

Scholz said CBD has affected her life in a positive way, and that she has never experienced negative side effects from using it. However, she is concerned about the purity of the product.

“The biggest difference I’ve

FEATURES

noticed when using CBD is a significant calming effect,” Scholz said. “It really helps with my anxiety, stress and panic attacks. I’ve seen no drawbacks with using CBD. Not once have I had a bad experience with it.

Many CBD oils are cut with other oils, meaning that we are not getting the most out of the product.”

Megley said CBD is versatile and can be ingested in a variety of ways.

“It mixes right into whatever beverage I have,” Megley said. “It’s super versatile.”

Scholz said her favorite CBD tincture comes in liquid form and packaged in a dripper bottle. She said she applies the liquid directly onto her tongue.

“My go-to CBD product is called Suthe,” Scholz said. “I typically use two drops on my tongue each day, which is one full dosage.”.

Senior Olivia Emele said she uses CBD products to ease her back pain. Emele started using CBD as an alternative to ibuprofen and other

over-the-counter painkillers.

“I would rather use CBD as a painkiller than put something into my body that needs to be processed through my liver,” Emele said. “I started using CBD for neck pain. It was also really helpful in relieving pain from my coccyx (tailbone), which I broke during a snowboarding accident in my sophomore year.”

According to Learn Sativa University, an Orlando-based institution dedicated to teaching students about cannabis cultivation and medical use, there can be negative side effects to CBD usage. Fatigue, diarrhea and changes in appetite are a few of the cited examples.

Emele said she hasn’t experienced any of these symptoms. She sees negative stigmas surrounding the use of CBD as its major drawback.

“I think the only drawback is the stigma that comes with marijuana products,” Emele said. “Some people have negative social reactions toward CBD, so I don’t talk about using

it with people that I feel might be judgmental. I also get a little scared that it smells like marijuana, even though the smell is very mild. I don’t want people to think I have been smoking when I go to work or school.

I’m very careful about that.”

Emele said she uses a CBD shea butter product at least once a week or up to several times per day, if necessary. She said she’s found CBD products that pinpoint specific relief areas.

“I use a CBD whipped shea butter topically for joint pain, muscle tightness and menstrual cramps,” Emele said. “CBD is truly a lifesaver for cramps. I don’t even have to take Midol or ibuprofen.”

With controversy surrounding the legalization of marijuana in the U.S., it seems the benefits of CBD have the potential to sway public opinion on the plant. For now, students interested in learning about CBD and its uses can visit the Food and Drug Administration’s website.

Inconsistent regulations getting puff, puff, passed Ashley Lohmann

M

any Arizonans seek more clarity and consistency regarding cannabis legislation, as confusion surrounding the drug’s legality becomes increasingly prominent. Throughout legislative changes regarding the legality of marijuana, experts encourage the public to stay up to date on federal and state laws.

With several nearby states legalizing marijuana for recreational use, Arizonans speculate that full legality might be coming soon. Medical marijuana has been legal in Arizona since 2010, and with regulations of the drug for medicinal purposes constantly changing, Flagstaff resident Nicole Urbowicz said she thinks the state legislature does not have people’s best interest in mind.

“I think [the government] is just trying to get people in trouble,” Urbowicz said. “Or, they’re just trying to see if people actually follow through with enforcing and following their laws.”

NAU Police Department officer Breana Rintala said inconsistencies in cannabis laws and regulations stem from a lack of complete understanding for how the drug affects human behavior and performance. Rintala said the constant changes are confusing for both Arizona civilians and law enforcement. She also said even more confusion and instability accumulates when comparing laws in different states.

“We’re hoping these laws will all catch up and be on the same page,” Rintala said.

“It’s tricky for people possessing it because they might be told one thing in Colorado and something different in Arizona.”

According to an article in the Arizona Capitol Times, a proposal to add concentrates, edibles and resin to the list of medically legal cannabis products was rejected by the Arizona House of Representatives March 21. Failure to include these products in the language of the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act has brought their legality into question and exemplifies how cannabis laws are not only constantly changing in the state but are also highly specific and difficult to interpret.

While Arizona residents are encouraged by law enforcement to stay informed about these regulatory changes, medical marijuana dispensaries are responsible for staying one step ahead of the legislature and anticipating changes that are likely to occur. Douglas Daly, the attorney and general counsel for Greenhouse

of Flagstaff, said it’s crucial for dispensaries like Greenhouse to adhere to state ordinances — a task that has grown increasingly difficult due to ever-changing regulations.

Rintala said that because marijuana is a versatile plant and its uses and applications vary widely, members of the public are generally confused about laws regarding the substance.

Regardless, Rintala said NAU students must adhere to federal laws as well as the university’s Student Code of Conduct when on campus.

She said the code of conduct might introduce an additional layer of confusion for students as its rules differ from Arizona laws.

“It will be tricky if marijuana becomes recreationally legal in Arizona, because having marijuana on campus would still be a university Code of Conduct violation,” Rintala said.

Rintala urged students to read the Code of Conduct in order to avoid penalties due to a misunderstanding. She also said it’s important for Arizona residents as a whole to know what laws are currently in place so they can also maintain lawfulness.

“Another misconception might be that you can’t actually get a DUI from having THC in your system,” Rintala said. “You can actually

THE LUMBERJACK | JACKCENTRAL.ORG

get a DUI with any amount of THC in your system.”

According to Rintala, educating the public on the realities of common misconceptions regarding marijuana legality is paramount in keeping people out of prison. She warned students against incurring serious legal charges related to cannabis use, as doing so could greatly affect the future success of their careers.

“The major thing we are learning now and are trying to let students know is that if they smoke marijuana wax, they might be out of a job seven years from now,” Rintala said.

“Young people are often unaware of that. Let’s say someone smokes wax in their freshman year of college and ends up wanting to be a police officer. Now they can’t, because they’re stuck with a decision that’s seven years old.”

Long-term consequences of misunderstandings like these prompt citizens to push for greater clarity and consistency within the law. Daly said lawmakers need to understand how confusing cannabis legislation has become and how it’s affecting peoples’ lives in a negative way.

“There are people using marijuana to get off of opioids,” Daly said. “There are people who

have really chronic conditions. If legislators took the time to better understand medical marijuana, they could make more educated decisions.”

Daly said it’s important for the government to understand that marijuana is not criminal when used medicinally and that dispensaries aren’t inherently bad — many are there to help people. He also said dispensaries actually help lessen crime, contrary to what some people might think, because they suppress black market sales of marijuana in the communities where they are built.

“I think it’s better to regulate it than to allow for black market transactions to be made,” Daly said. “Regulating and taxing marijuana could be a far better and safer system.”

Urbowicz said legalization might happen sooner than some expect, because people seem to be gradually realizing that regulation might actually be safer and more economically feasible than prohibition.

“As young people begin to vote more, they’re going to have more of an opinion on marijuana than older generations did,” Urbowicz said. “They want different things for different reasons. I think it should become legal because we can get a lot of tax money from it.”

If Arizona does end up legalizing marijuana for recreational use, Daly said data from other legalized states could show what legalization might look like. Concerns for surges in underage use and instances of intoxicated driving can be assessed comparatively with statistics from nearby states.

Rintala said that if full legalization were to happen, there might be additional confusion among the public regarding when and where it’s OK to toke up.

“I think with legalization, you could see a lot of people get DUIs,” Rintala said. “We’ll have to make sure people know that they still can’t be driving under the influence of marijuana.

I think there’s a lot of different consequences with legalization, and that’s probably why the government is taking so long to figure out exactly what to do with it.”

Regardless of whether marijuana becomes recreationally legal in Arizona, experts encourage citizens to develop a complete understanding of the laws affecting their area so they can ensure their lives won’t be hindered by misunderstanding.

Untold stories with Aunty Mary Jane Tyler Day

I

f an individual smokes weed, the ways the plant affects the person can vary greatly. Some individuals may experience a good high and enjoy their time being dazed while others may not have the same happy effect. There are more and more movies and television shows that either show scenes of a crazy night of being high or make use of it for comedy, but the question of these depictions being true to real life still stands.

Some individuals consider their craziest time with grass being their first time using the drug. Senior Jarvin Singer remembers his first experience with Mary Jane and how it was sort of a roller coaster ride from start to finish. It all happened after

smoking a joint in a car ride his freshman year with three of his friends.

The group was heading back home in a Mini Cooper when it came time to get out of the car to go back to the dorms. There, Singer felt like he was paralyzed. He said he was stuck in his mind and he could not get out of the car. This led to his friend picking Singer up and helping him walk to the door.

“I don’t remember the walk back to the rooms, but [my friends] said it was the first time I saw snow,” Singer said. “I started to do snow angels and stuff.”

After having some fun in the snow, they reached the stairwell to get to the third floor. While making the journey up to the dorm room, he encountered other individuals along the way.

“We were going up the stairs and there was this couple that was coming down,” Singer said. “I said ‘Oh god, they can’t know I am high. Act normal.’ When they were coming down the stairs, I put up my hand to say hi and hit the girl’s boob on accident.”

Singer’s friend came to the rescue and explained the situation to the couple. After telling the couple that this was Singer’s first time being high, the couple understood and went their separate ways.

Singer had a difficult time getting into his room because he couldn’t fit his key into the door, but he and his friends made it to their dorms safely. Having a feeling of dry mouth from the whole ordeal, Singer wanted to get some water. He told his friends where he was going and went to the nearest drinking fountain.

While on his walk, he developed shutter vision. He described shutter vision as the world like pictures on a Post-it note that flips through rapidly.

“I went to go get some water and because of my shutter vision, it looked like it was coming out way faster then it was, so I started to drown in the fountain and my friend had to come and pull me out,” Singer said.

For the rest of the night, Singer crashed on his friend’s floor for two hours and then in his own

bed for 14 more hours to sleep off what was left.

Sophomore Brook Vaujin described a time that involved her 26-year-old brother Travis Vaujin. When he was in high school, Travis attended a party with a group of his friends where the drug was present.

“I think it was his first time,” Vaujin said. “That is probably why he freaked out and maybe [the weed] was laced with something.”

Vaujin said she does not know how much her brother smoked, but it did leave her a lasting impression of the drug. After he started smoking, something did not feel right to him.

“He started to hear voices,” Vaujin said. “He thought the devil started talking to him. He was so terrified and I guess the people in his apartment building were smoking weed, so he had to leave because the smell brought back the memories from that night.”

Senior Theodore Beamer may have not heard voices in his head, but he could have found himself arrested. Beamer has a lung condition, which prevented him from smoking with his friends but still decided to go along for the adventure. The plan was that he and a few of his friends were going to go to Slide Rock in Sedona to have a good time.

“They brought their gear with them and its all inside this backpack,” Beamer said. “During this time, it was the glass checks, so I had a backpack full of illicit material at the time.”

As they were hiking, the group got a glimpse of a park ranger stopping everybody that walked by and asking them to empty out their bags. During the process of glass checking, a person is asked to dump out everything in their bag so the ranger can see if they are carrying any glass due to the increased problem of broken glass at Slide Rock.

“Literally, it was this carnival of changing bags around, trying to hide the [glass],” Beamer said. “The one bag had so much gear that I was afraid it could get lost in the mix and sure enough, it did. There was potential jail time for everybody involved.”

Beamer said as the group was being inspected, the ranger did find a glass bottle. However, it was not the glass bottle containing the substance.

“What wound up happening was that we had another glass bottle that had sparkling cider in it and [the ranger] finds it and says, ‘you all have to leave,’” Beamer said.

The group was saved by the sparkling cider since the ranger did not have to search the bags any further. The group packed up the car and found some other place to hang out.

Using grass can help someone relax or even feel rebellious. Whatever the case may be, it can change one’s perspective of the world while being under the influence. Nothing makes a funny or crazy story worse than having it get out of hand.

The changing mindset on ganja Audrey Woods

M

arijuana use has been a controversial issue in the United States since the first federal cannabis act was signed in 1937, according to the Drug Policy Alliance. Since then, many have debated the safety and possible health benefits of the substance.

Such debates have lead to legal changes in many states regarding the use of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes.

Society’s acceptance of weed is still varied even in cities like Flagstaff, with many people holding a somewhat mixed view on it. The mainstream perception of pot has changed a lot over the years regarding medicinal uses, the methods of consumption, general understanding and overall acceptance.

Arizona is one of 33 states to have legalized medical marijuana, according to ProCon.org. This allows medical marijuana cardholders to purchase up to 2.5 ounces per week. CBD products have also become popular as it contains no, or extremely small amounts of THC, which is the psychoactive element of weed. Flagstaff resident Lisa Connor explained that she considers pot as a nontoxic substance because there have been no reports of overdoses from the drug.

“I think there are certainly medical benefits,” Connor said.

“Marijuana is a good alternative to pharmaceutical medicine, which is much more toxic.”

To get a medical marijuana card in Arizona, a patient must have cancer, Glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C, ALS, Crohn’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease or some form of chronic pain, according to Arizona Department of Health Services. While many people have benefited from the legalization of medical marijuana, some people believe there are patients who obtain a medical marijuana card when they don’t need such a substance.

Jan Barlow, a Flagstaff resident

Flagstaff resident Jan Barlow is concerned about friends and long-term users becoming lackadaisical, April 4.

Michael Patacsil| The Lumberjack

and long-time civil rights activist shared what she has noticed in her own life.

“I was really surprised to see places that sell it medicinally,” Barlow said. “I know some people who get cards because all of a sudden they’re in a great deal of pain, which didn’t happen overnight. Now they can go buy their pot.”

Many health benefits have been proven but there is still a great deal of controversy surrounding the side effects of consuming marijuana and whether they are worth using it.

One of these proven side effects is weed’s addictiveness. While pot is not considered inherently addictive like some other substances, it “can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction

in severe cases,” according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Flagstaff resident Casey Machula shared his personal experience.

“I actually became kind of addicted to marijuana for a period of my life,” Machula said. “For a while, after I quit I considered it unhealthy, but after it started getting legalized in different states and I had the opportunity to try it again, I realized I was no longer addicted to it and I could enjoy it casually.”

Another commonly feared side effect is a lack of motivation. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that marijuana can cause short-term memory loss, drowsiness and may cause long-term loss of IQ points after repeated use. While the long-term effects are less researched and commonly debated, some people

have noticed the effects in their personal relationships.

“My one concern that I have noticed is it will take the emphasis out of being proactive about generally anything in life,” Barlow said.

“Friends of mine who are long-term users do become lackadaisical and that is a personal concern of mine.

I have seen some of my friends who could have been more productive in life lose that edge.”

While people may agree that general laziness may occur from longterm use, many argue that this does not warrant it being a Schedule I drug in Arizona and should not be a felony charge. Long-standing laws cannot change overnight, but a conversation surrounding the effects of marijuana taking place within society is a significant change from 20 years ago.

Connor said she understands that back in the day there was more of an acceptance of ganja until Nixon declared a War on Drugs in 1971 and pot got lumped in. She explained pot became demonized during this time and although there is more acceptance now, there are still many scenarios when marijuana use is discouraged as it is still illegal under federal law. One of these scenarios is the workplace.

“Certain positions, such as safety-sensitive positions can be drug tested and that includes for marijuana,” Connor said. “In some ways in the workplace there is more of a radar for it, so I think it is less accepted in the workplace.”

Barlow said another perspective on marijuana is there is more discussion and slowly becoming more accepted within society. She said law enforcement is more regulated in how they handle weed-related issues and shared stories of how growing up in the deep south, police officers would use pot as a tactic to get people arrested. She said this was done as a way to arrest people that cops or society at the time were prejudiced against. As a lesbian woman, fighting for equal rights at various rallies in the ’80s, she often witnessed this unethical behavior.

“If they couldn’t get you for holding someone’s hand of the same gender they would plant pot in your car and they tried that with me one time,” Barlow said.

As the use of marijuana products becomes more common, so do people’s interactions with it along with how they feel about such products.

While some people like Barlow and Machula hope to see it legalized, taxed and regulated on a federal level, other people like Connor believe it is better only for medicinal uses.

No matter what an individual’s opinion is, the overall sale, use and acceptance of weed has undergone a rollercoaster of change since the first federal cannabis-related law was established over 80 years ago.

All use of marijuana is prohibited in NAU dorms, even if a student owns a medical marijuana card, April 7. Michael Patacsil | The Lumberjack

S

tudents using marijuana in their dorms is nothing new to university life. They may do it for a variety of reasons including relaxation, trouble sleeping, health issues or even just for fun. Although smoking kush may not be a big deal for some, it can still carry consequences on NAU’s campus.

Some students use pot on a daily basis at NAU, but they may not be aware of the consequences that can arise from using it in their dorms. According to NAU’s Student Code of Conduct, unauthorized use of marijuana is against the law and not permitted in residence halls, even if the student has a medical marijuana card. Any cannabis usage that occurs in the dorms or even around campus can result

in trouble with the NAU Police Department (NAUPD) or Flagstaff Police Department.

One form of university punishment is called a conduct meeting. According to the Office of Student Life, a conduct meeting is designed to allow the student to reflect and learn from their behavior, however, the meeting can also end in suspension or expulsion from the university.

Crystal-Shan DeLear said she often uses and keeps weed in her dorm, but she was caught once and had to attend a conduct meeting.

“I am a regular user of weed because it helps with my anxiety, but I got caught once smoking in my dorm,” DeLear said. “I was told I had to attend a conduct meeting because I got caught and I was really scared. The people I met with basically gave me a warning, but I also got a mark on my NAU record.”

Resident Assistants (RAs) are responsible for maintaining NAU’s Student Code of Conduct at the dorms for student residents.

THE LUMBERJACK | JACKCENTRAL.ORG

RA Aidan Colgan said it is his job as an RA to report any use, storage or odor of marijuana to NAUPD. Colgan also said it is standard policy to report it to the police and that it is best to let NAUPD handle it. He also added he doesn’t suppose the drug should be illegal, but it doesn’t have any place on a university campus.

“I have caught students with marijuana before, and I just reported it and had NAUPD respond,” Colgan said. “It is just easiest to call them and have them deal with it. I do also think that the university itself should have more say in what happens to the student rather than law enforcement.”

NAUPD Officer Matthew Popham said when they get a call regarding bud in dorms, there is a standard procedure NAUPD follows.

Popham said if a student answers the door when they make contact about a call, they will verify if there is reasonable suspicion to ask the students if they can search the room.

“If it’s a student’s first time getting talked to and we know for sure they have marijuana or have used marijuana in their dorm, we will usually give them a deferral instead of an arrest,” Popham said. “When we deal with repeat offenders, we will usually have to go through arresting them and giving them a citation. They will then have to appear in the Flagstaff Justice Court.”

Popham said oftentimes, students will just be honest with NAUPD about using or having pot in their dorm.

“If we do say we smell marijuana, students will oftentimes cooperate and admit to it and we will just go from there,” Popham said.

Even though some students will continue to use marijuana on NAU’s campus, there are still going to be issues that arise with the rules of the university, as well as the laws that are enforced

by NAUPD when it comes to marijuana usage and possession.

Paralyzed by prescriptions

W

e have seen the downfall of many athlete’s careers due to substance abuse. As marijuana inches its way toward complete legality a question is raised — are professional athletes allowed to indulge?

Alcohol is legal and if we saw Tom Brady having a celebratory drink after the Super Bowl, we would raise our glass for a cheers.

In every baseball clubhouse after the World Series, the winning team is drenched in champagne. We can’t help but giggle at the childish antics and wait for them to pop another bottle. Now, if a player rolled a celebratory joint, I don’t know what would be worse: How the league would punish him/her or how the fans and spectators would treat them.

MOLLY An article on WikiLeaf explains that the SMITH MLB quite frankly does not care about SPORTS EDITOR cannabis. Routine drug tests stop after the minor league level. If there is no suspicion of steroids no one is peeing in a cup in the major league.

Matt Barnes had a 14-year NBA career. He said on a podcast that all of his best games were won “medicated.” From the start of his career until the end, Barnes smoked before every game and does not seem to hold a single regret.

Something that we refuse to talk about is weed for medicinal purposes. Professional athletes are playing nearly every day during the regular season, whether it be practice, games or training. Their rest days are consumed with traveling and no one likes to sit on an uncomfortable bus or airplane.

These players are bound to feel an ache and pain. Trainers are handy but athletes are always expected to rebound and make an appearance at the next game. To work through these shoulder pains and knee injuries, they are prescribed painkillers that lead to addiction and drug problems.

A study conducted by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, found that from a sample of 644 former NFL players, 52% used prescription painkillers during their career. Of that same group, 71% admitted to the misuse of the prescription drugs.

If weed was legalized in professional sports, the opioid crisis could be lessened. Talented athletes and their careers are being thrown away because of addictions.

The secrecy of weed in sports needs to stop for athletes to get healthy. If marijuana was legalized, it does not mean that the entire team would pass a blunt in their stretching circle after practice. It merely means that those who feel they need a tension release and not an opioid addiction wouldn’t get shamed.

Sports fans hold players to such a high standard and watch a carousel of players drop in and out of leagues.

The ones dealing with their pains and stresses illegally by smoking weed are looked down on by the community. But the ones who are doing it “legally” are winning a prescription drug addiction and losing their careers.

S

tress and soreness have hindered the performance of athletes. Could there be an innovative solution to the pains that come from sports?

Words like fun, joy, exercise and play are commonly associated with sports.

Professional and recreational sports alike are undoubtedly one of the most wellliked activities among Americans and most people have played or watched them countless times throughout their lives.

Aside from the happiness sports provide, with it comes physical strain, especially for professional athletes. Being an athlete comes with the risk of injury, mental stress, physical soreness and many other feelings that are caused by playing a game. When these stresses arise, there are various ways to alleviate them. However, innovation beats history when it is done efficiently and creatively. People think of new ways to do things every year and when they are done right, the world is changed forever. For instance, Elon Musk has changed the way people travel by founding Tesla. Gasoline was once seen as the only way to power vehicles until innovation took place.

If Tesla was able to think of a more efficient and beneficial way to travel, why haven’t we been able to think of one to treat sports-related pain? Some people use marijuana as a relief from athletic pains and it could be an original solution. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the primary compounds of marijuana are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the mind-altering component that gives someone the “high” feeling — ­ although similiar to THC, CBD does not have a psychoactive component.

“After a game or a competition, if you smoke weed you physically don’t feel like you just played that game. You’re continuing your day in a different state of mind after that,” said freshman Marco Soto.

Soto was a swimmer and baseball player in high school. He has used marijuana to avoid previous muscle soreness and now skateboards casually

around campus. As a competitive swimmer he would get cramps in his calves. He attributes his marijuana use to the relief of his cramping.

“THC doesn’t literally numb physical pain and soreness, but it does take your mind off of it. Not thinking about the pain you are in pretty much makes it go away for some hours,” Soto said.

There has always been a negative connotation attached to marijuana. Since the average person’s childhood, they are warned of the pitfalls of smoking. The stereotype is that indulging in cannabis makes someone lazy and unmotivated.

“I’ve never smoked, but I’ve always been told that smoking weed makes you lazy, is a gateway drug, and that you can

get addicted,” said sophomore intramural basketball player Jacob Hernanskey.

The three phrases that Hernanskey used to describe the general interpretation of cannabis are ones that are commonly told to the public.

According to the American Addiction Centers website, “Regular marijuana users are known to develop tolerance, dependence, and experience signs of withdrawal when they stop taking the drug.”

Without question, dependence on marijuana is a bad thing in terms of finance and self-sufficiency, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to being unproductive in one’s education or work.

“I am an active weed-smoker and have maintained a 3.75 GPA so far in college,” Bobby Rae Sirus said. “There is some truth behind weed making you lazy, but if you have self-control and know how to prioritize work over being high, you can get things done. You only get lazy when you’re high, which only lasts for a couple hours.”

Sirus added that he snowboards and works out each week and his marijuana use hasn’t slowed him down.

“I think people need to become more educated on marijuana. If people would learn that there are real benefits, then it could become more socially accepted,” Sirus said.

It could be argued that Sirus’ 3.75 GPA is something to be proud of. The common college student achieves a 3.15 according to prepscholar. com — let alone a student that actively smokes weed.

Sirus is excelling in school while balancing hobbies and exercise, all while smoking daily. If someone was told those things about a student, it would be assumed that the student does not smoke. The idea of cannabis making someone lazy may be totally dependent on the person.

Those who oppose marijuana use in athletics see it as a distraction, while the people in support of it view the drug as misunderstood.

If there was a greater education on the drug’s benefits, properties and risks, there could be a change in society’s perception of cannabis.

Keeping an open mind is a component to higher knowledge, and as the saying goes: knowledge is power. Although marijuana has a reputation of being destructive and detrimental, there could be enough health benefits to outweigh the alleged cons of the drug. There surely has not been enough debate and consideration to completely turn away from the good things that marijuana can provide. If a measurement study was done on the process of recovery on a group of athletes using cannabis for healing purposes versus athletes using more customary methods, the general public may be more open to discussion.

As medical professionals research the topic and make new discoveries, it is important to stay in the know individually. Stereotyping, false information, and biases can mislead and sway the judgment of society. It is crucial to confirm information that is spread on social media and other platforms of communication. Educated citizens will better address controversial issues and put the nation in safer hands overall.

When it comes to sports, marijuana remains a sticky situation. Whether you smoke for recreational or for medicinal purposes, it’s probably easiest to do so legally or not at all.

With marijuana being legal only to card holders in Arizona, it’s not easy being green.

Paintball club shows its colors Amber Neate

S

enior Wyatt Goddard knew it was going to be an exciting day. He and his paintball crew arrived in Peoria, Arizona, a hot, western desert after a two-hour road trip at the crack of dawn. He strapped on his helmet tight, loaded his weapon of destruction and headed out to the field. Goddard ducked, dodged and dived behind bunkers in a mad effort to stay in the game. Hot sweat dripped into his eyes, fogging his vision as he tried to catch his breath. He snuck out in to open range, the last sole survivor of his team. The odds were stacked high against him as 13 exhausted, determined opponents crowded him in. It was panic and survival mode. Fight or die.

Bass-filled techno music blasted through Goddard’s earphones as he took a deep breath and strategically called his shots. One by one he pelted 12 of the competitors and they dropped dead like flies. There was only one left. The referee was alarmed by Goddard’s advanced skill and eyeballed him sharply to make sure there was no unfair advantage. Players on the sideline were losing it. Bright orange and yellow goo exploded out of Goddard’s marker hitting the last victim in the chest. The opponent dropped to the grass, consumed by the agony of defeat while Goddard raised his hands high in victory. He dropped to his knees and laid in the grass, basking in the light of glory. It was Goddard versus the world and he conquered it.

“It was incredible, you get a dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline rush,” Goddard said.

Goddard has been treasurer of the NAU Paintball Club for three years. He developed his passion for paintball at the age of 13 when he and some of his middle school friends went out to shoot at a birthday party. Goddard joined the club his freshman year to meet new friends and participate in an outdoor sport. Since then, he has taken on a leadership role in the club and shared his knowledge and experience with new paintball enthusiasts.

There are currently five to six consistent members on the team. The club took a big hit last year when several members graduated and moved away. The club is limited to where they can practice in Flagstaff. They are not allowed to play on university property because a paintball marker is considered a weapon. There is a small hidden field deep within the forest on the outskirts of town where the club has built a course for practice. But for most events, they travel to Phoenix where they play at public

fields with other paintball enthusiasts.

“I love going out and I love the road trip with the guys down to Phoenix,” freshman club member Kyle Owens said. “I like meeting other people. The paintball community is a friendly community and they want everyone to have fun.”

The club recently attended Reclamation, an event in Tucson with nearly 250 paintball fanatics. Paintball battles can last 30 minutes to two hours. Sometimes there are bases set up where players can repair and reload equipment.

“I actually bought my gun from a guy I met at a paintball field,” Owens said. “I get happy when I play because when I shoot somebody and see them put their gun up and walk off the field, I’m helping my team. The adrenaline rush makes me want to keep doing it.”

Using a tool that looks like a weapon and the fear of being painfully pelted with paintballs deters some students from trying the sport.

“If a paintball hits your bare skin within a close range of 10 to 20 feet, you can get a welt but it’s not that bad. It’s just a little bit of a sting,” senior club president Tyson Urkov said.

“Most of the time you have your adrenaline pumping because you’re excited and running around. I hardly notice it unless it’s a really close-up shot.”

Regardless, paintball is intimidating and potentially dangerous.

“There’s a lot of people who don’t respect it. A paintball marker is a fire arm, it can do damage if you’re not careful,” Goddard said.

New members are educated about safety before they go out to shoot. Wearing a mask is mandatory 100% of the time players are on the field. Having a comfortable and good quality mask is a big factor in being able to duck, roll, dive and run quickly. Players should cover their marker with a barrel bag to prevent accidental shooting when they are not on the field.

The club provides paintball guns, air tanks, masks and paintballs. Students can participate wearing a helmet, long sleeved t-shirt and sweats but purchasing padded clothing is encouraged for added protection.

Sportsmanship, communication, and athleticism are important skills to be successful at paintball. Mental and physical agility as well as an ability to think strategically and make quick decisions comes in handy.

There are two different types of paintball: Speed ball and Rec ball. Speed ball is a more professional, competitive game that can be

very expensive at the advanced level. The professional league in the United States is called National Xball League. Recreational paint ball is more common and it’s the style practiced by the NAU Paintball Club. The team drives out to desert fields that look like little towns with big tires and obstacles to hide behind.

The rules are simple: Shoot out everyone you can on the opposing team and be the last one standing. Shots to the face are permitted because the mask is designed to take a hit.

However, once a player is shot, he or she is out. The game is based on an honor system and players are expected to call themselves out and quit when they are shot.

“The standard speed of a paintball is 290 to 300 feet per second,” Urkov said.

Shooting someone more than once is not allowed. In close range contact situations where players are 10 to 15 feet apart, the shooter asks the opponent to surrender before firing because close-up shots can be more painful.

“There’s nothing else quite like it — just running around and dodging and shooting other people out,” Urkov said. “Paintball is a unique sport and it’s a very niche sport that a lot of people haven’t been exposed to.

If you are looking for something different and outdoorsy, come meet some friendly students who find joy in slinging and splashing some paint. Club meetings are held every Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Room 2407 in the Health and Learning Center.
