I read this book a couple years ago

I think it provides an good overview of the science claims made against cannabis and then argues against these claims, like the neurotoxin claim.

I hope this helps [5]

Edit: I guess this is the leading (and best selling) scholarly book on marijuana; it has been translated and published in seven languages to date.

I've tried that in the past, when i go from a 2-4 spliff a day habit to nil its full blown insomnia.

Being a dyslexic i absolutely hate reading novels. Factual books on the other hand i enjoy i'll see if there's any factual books on something that's interests me.

Hows this?

A couple of books I have read:
http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Marijuana-Look-Scientific-Evidence/dp/0195138937

http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Myths-Facts-Scientific-Evidence/dp/0964156849

these are completely neutral authors that compile evidence based research. the first book is better than the second (more current at least). they will report the negative effects - don't forget that there ARE negative effects. they also report on the safety and all of the benefits. i wouldn't expect a politician to even take a glance at them for a second though, scientific evidence is not what politicans care about.

Maybe you should try getting your family to actually read a book about the scientific research that's been done on marijuana?:

Good afternoon, sir.

First off, thanks for your open-minded approach to disciplining your son. Not enough parents do this.

Second, the bottom line is that marijuana isn't likely to harm your son. I'm sure tons of people on here will tell you this in various ways, citing various studies. That might be helpful, but if you are TRULY, GENUINELY interested in knowing the scientific literature on cannabis use, I would recommend to you (and ANYONE ELSE who wants to know about the consequences of cannabis use) that you buy a book entitled "Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts." It's a meta-analysis of all the scientific studies on marijuana, and it evaluates what all the research out there says in relation to various marijuana myths.

For example, there are chapters such as Marijuana and Memory, Marijuana and its effects on Motivation, Marijuana during pregnancy, etc. It takes a look at all the various forms that these arguments come (e.g., "Marijuana makes you lazy!" and looks at all the studies that exist that have tested that hypothesis. I read it in a Drugs and Society class in college when my professor recommended it and it's TOTALLY amazing and thorough. It's the best scientific compendium of knowledge about the effects of marijuana that I've ever come across (and I've done lots of searching and studying, both in academia and outside).

The book was discontinued a few years back, but you can find (lightly) used copies on book websites and amazon for - seriously - less than five or ten bucks (depending on how much you care about the book being used).

Here's the amazon link to buying the book. Seriously every cannabis user and person who wants to know the truth about the effects of marijuana should really consider buying this book:

tl;dr - Buy the book, "Marijuana Myths Marijuana Facts". It reviews all the charges and myths about marijuana by looking at all the contemporary studies that have evaluated the truthfulness of those myths.

Cheers and thanks again for being open-minded.
