Köp båda 2 för 661 krThis volume is well written and documented. It comes as a breath of fresh air amid a policy issue that is so often dealt with in an emotional and irrational way--a sane counterpoint to the emotional venting of the pharmaceutical Calvinists. Highly recommended. All levels. * Choice * A readable, reasonable, and well-documented history and analysis of a silly problem that richly deserves de-problemizing. * Future Survey * Rudolph Gerber, a judge, presents the case in favor of marijuana legalization, at least for medical use, citing a host of research studies, which he claims have been ignored for decades. His discussion of the history of the marijuana debate through presidential administrations since Kennedy is especially enlightening.[d]ebaters on the issue of medical use will find much ammunition in this book. * Library Media Connection *
