Kandice Hawes, a political science and public administration student, put what she learned in the classroom into motion to get an act on the No- vember ballot. Measure CC, which will be on the November ballot in Santa Ana, would replace the current ban on medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives. Marijuana is classified as a schedule one drug, grouped with other illicit drugs that are highly addictive and is considered a zero tolerance sub- stance on campus. Hawes was convicted of a misdemeanor for pos- session of marijuana, which disqualified her from receiving financial aid. She had to stop going to school and get a part time job while going to com- munity college. Now, Hawes is back at CSUF. After her experience with existing marijuana laws, Hawes drafted the measure with her lawyer, collected 13,000 signatures and $75,000 in cam- paign donations.
