From the Foreward
 Marijuana is by far the most commonly used illegal drug in the United States and in most other countries as well. More than seventy million Americans have tried marijuana, and more than twenty million have smoked it in the last year. The use of marijuana may decrease in years to come, as may the use of alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, and drugs such as Valium and prozac. But the use of marijuana, like the use of these other psychoactive drugs, is here to stay.
