Marijuana
No Customer Reviews
According to the foreword, the books in the Compact Research: Drugs series "focus on three types of information: objective single-author narratives, opinion-based primary source quotations, and facts and statistics." What this translates to on the page is an overview of the topic and an in-depth chapter-by-chapter discussion of the points raised in the overview. Marijuana looks at questions such as whether marijuana is a dangerous drug, whether it should be legalized, and the most pressing dilemma: Should the drug be readily available for medical use? The narrative is filled with so many qualifiers ("many people believe"; "some people say") that it seems to envelop all sides of the debate. Meanwhile, statements like "some people believe [Bob] Marley's marijuana use contributed to the brain cancer that killed him" add to the vagueness. Still, there is a lot to think about here, especially for readers who may have a personal or academic interest.
