Summary: FALSE SCIENCE
Comment: Dr Nahas himself DISCREDITED the FALSE information in this book, why is it being sold, and for $115?? what a joke!

Its sad to see that the US federal governments various anti-drug agencies, still use this information today to LIE to society about marijuana. The War on Drugs is nothing but big business at the expence of human lives.

I am glad the other two comments here are saying the same.

Dr Lester Grinspoon wrote from an unbiased point of view. He didnt even try marijuana till after he wrote the book..

Summary: Save your money
Comment: Nahas has impressive credentials, but from all I've seen he practices very bogus scientific research. I think he operates like the red queen in "Alice in Wonderland:" guilty first, then make the evidence fit the verdict. His favorite authority to quote is frequently himself.

There are far better books about marijuna and medicine. "Marijuana, the Forbidden Medicine" by Dr. Lester Grinspoon is perhaps the classic. Also refer to the recent Institute of Medicine report. But give this book a pass.

Summary: Nahas's legacy: bias and bad science
Comment: Gabriel Nahas is a totally discredited marijuana commentator. He starts with his personal belief that marijuana is bad, and then finds or contrives "evidence" to support his position.

He has been pilloried and publicly discredited by many legitimate scientists.

Anybody who wants a thorough examination of marijuana's medical efficacy and possible side effects would do well to start with a book by Dr. Lester Grinspoon and the book titled "Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts," by Zimmer and Morgan.
