The leading clinical expert on marijuana sifts through the myths about the drug to deliver an unbiased, comprehensive guide backed by scientific facts to give you the information you need to make informed decisions about marijuana.Marijuana has a long, colourful history dating back more than 2,000 years as the one of the most sought after, mood-altering substances in the world. Societal opinions about the drug have swayed dramatically over the years: It was a grave danger to society in the 1930s film Reefer Madness;, to a harmless recreational high in the '60s; and an addictive substance and gateway to such "hard" drugs as heroin today.The myths and misinformation about marijuana have only multiplied over the years as the controversy over legalization and medical marijuana grows. Kevin P. Hill provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the drug in this book. Through research-based historical, scientific, and medical information, Hill will help you sort through what you hear on the streets and in the media and cut straight to the facts.Whether you're a parent concerned about your child's use, someone with an illness considering medical marijuana as a treatment option, a user who has questions about its effect on your health, or just trying to make up your mind about legalization, this book will give you the most current and unbiased information you need to make informed decisions about marijuana.
