Marijuana (Drugs: The Straight Facts)

"Each holds about 120 pages of facts charting the history of drug usage, development, and social and health issues....All are highly recommended picks, offering lasting library lending value."

Drugs are everywhere--on our streets, in our homes, and in our schools--but straight facts about drugs are not. Drugs: The Straight Facts fills this void with candid discussions that emphasize a historical and scientific approach to learning about drugs, their use, and their effect on the user's health. Explore the history of marijuana throughout the ages, the neurochemical pathway of the psychoactive component of marijuana, and current trends and attitudes toward its use.
