THE indispensable cannabis primer!!

Seriously, this book should be in EVERY health class in the nation... at the VERY least, in EVERY responsible parent and grandparent's home.

EVERY person in this land should know and understand the contents of this short book that is PACKED with the FACTS about Marijuana.

It even contains a section that dispels the myths!

Great Book, a MUST read for ALL!!!

A cosy little book about the life of Cannabis.

Its pretty much a pure pro and feelgood story, but I'm glad it put at least some light on the possible harms in use on an underdeveloped (age <-25) brain.

There is a huge pro marijuana wave riding the seven seas nowadays, and those fighting for legalization and decriminalzation can't let the potential harms be shed from light - that could really harm the progress.

Short and interesting, I didn't like the layout- and there was no ToC on my Kindle.
