The book is great, and presents many facts supporting the re-legalization of marijuana – Which is exactly what we need. We don’t need it Legalized, we need it Relegalized. For thousands of year, Marijuana was entirely legal, it’s only in recent times that marijuana became outlawed. Remember, not Legalized, Re-Legalized

Although small this is a very valuable contribution to the debate over marijuana. There are so many lies and hysterical claims made by the other side and often the rebutals are clouded in a similar type of single mindedness. This book in an unemotianal way looks at the arguements and cleverly and clearly exposes them as either misconstrued, or simply wrong. The only thing missing is perhaps a more honest assesment of the damage marijuana can bring to individuals and communities. However, the standard of debate on many other issues would be well served by similar books like this one. It’s unlikely to convince and rabid anti-drug crusaders but if you’re open minded you’ll appreciate the author’s thorough research and clear disemballing of the issues.

This is one of those books that really helps when you have people that back you into a corner and ask questions like “If its so harmless, then why is it still illegal?” it goes through the issues that arise when a debate about the plant comes to surface such as:
*Our constitutional rights
*criminal innocents
*economic costs
*health effects
*hemp: industrial applications
*medical applications
*national security
*sociological apects
*Why it isn’t legal
I really enjoyed reading this book and learned a good deal from it. for those against legalization…DO YOUR RESEARCH FIRST, this book is an eye opener on the subject.
