    Marijuana Is Safer, Updated and Expanded Edition

    Marijuana Is Safer

    So Why Are We Driving People to Drink?

    Marijuana Is Safer reaches for a broad audience, including people who have never used marijuana and may be skeptical about the authors' claims. The book includes a detailed introduction to the plant and its effects on the user, and it debunks some of the government's most frequently cited marijuana myths. For current and aspiring advocates of marijuana–law reform, as well as anyone else who is interested in what is becoming a major political battle at all levels of government, the authors spell out why the message that marijuana is safer than alcohol must be a prominent part of the public debate over legalization.
