Hello
Juanluis Zepeda is a recent graduate from Texas State University with a bachelor’s degree in general studies with focuses in three disciplines; criminal justice, sociology, and business administration.
My Story
His capstone project involved the creation of a research-driven essay titled Racial Disparity Exacerbated by Texas Cannabis Laws. With the help of interviews conducted with local advocates, criminal law attorneys, and the dean of students office at Texas State University, Juanluis constructed the Texas Cannabis Student Guidebook.
This guidebook was developed to be used by Texas State University students to help clarify mistruths around cannabis and its relation to racial discrimination. It will also inform students about essential information to know when faced with this issue.
As a Mexican American and student at Texas State University, Juanluis feels passionate about this issue. He wants to create change that will help mitigate the effects of cannabis possession in Texas.
