Zimmer, Lynn and Morgan, John. Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts: A Review Of The Scientific Evidence. New York: The Drug Policy Alliance. 1997, 241 pages.


From the Foreward

Marijuana Myths - 75 x 112Marijuana 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.

You can order Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts by   clicking here. French,  RussianGermanItalian and Czech translations are also available.

Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts provides reliable information about marijuana's effects on people. This book is for everyone interested in the drug itself, and for everyone concerned about people who use it.  It is for parents and adolescents, for school counselors and police officers, for drug treatment specialists and drug policy reformers. It is for people who love marijuana and people who hate it.

"The first in-depth examination of all the government's major claims about pot… a welcome document that will be useful in a policy debate that has often been colored by hysteria."
-- Jann Wenner, Rolling Stone Magazine

"This is the most accurate book on the effects of marijuana that has appeared to date."
-- Andrew Weil, MD, Author of Spontaneous Healing and 8 Weeks to Optimum Health

"An impressive attack on much of the mythology around marijuana."
-- Michael Farrell, M.D., British Medical Journal
