It is 8:25 p.m. on Wednesday at the Orange County Asian Pacific Islander Community Alliance second floor suite located on Garden Grove Blvd. Tonight is a workshop night in the light green and beige room where Project Motivate meets every week. The room is divided into two groups of fifteen of mentors, mentees, and volunteers.

The two groups anxiously listen and all eyes are on the guest speaker as he is to read a statement that the assigned groups are to either support or oppose. He states, “It is okay to legalize marijuana. Okay, you have a minute and a half to talk about it with your group.”

The groups hurriedly talk amongst one another trying to list reasons for their stand on the topic. All eyes are on the speaker from each group who bravely comes forward to voice his or her opinion to the rest.
