Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization has been built on myths—that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is beneficial for mental health. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a former \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporter, explodes those myths, explaining that almost no one is in prison for marijuana; a tiny fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical marijuana, mostly for people who have already used; and marijuana use is linked to opiate and cocaine use. Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—can cause psychotic episodes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Alex Berenson has a reporter’s tenacity, a novelist’s imagination, and an outsider’s knack for asking intemperate questions” (Malcolm Gladwell, \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e), as he ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, \u003ci\u003eTell Your Children \u003c\/i\u003eis a “well-written treatise” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) that “takes a sledgehammer to the promised benefits of marijuana legalization, and cannabis enthusiasts are not going to like it one bit” (\u003ci\u003eMother Jones\u003c\/i\u003e).","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49347235348784,"sku":"BDcxau","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49347235381552,"sku":"10cxau","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/cxau-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773689510","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-cxau","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
