We have highlighted five of the most interesting research updates at ProCon.org in the last few weeks.
Those
five updates include a resource on the cost of an average college
tuition v. median income, the legalization of medical marijuana in
Maryland, information on medical marijuana and glaucoma, a gallery of prescription drug advertisements from the 1800s to 2012, as well as top pro and con quotes on the debate surrounding whether or not the US should continue its drone strikes abroad.
