Why the Rush to Legalize Marijuana Is Harming America

By: William J. Bennett, Robert A. White

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

William J. Bennett, former director of the National Drug Control policy under President George H.W. Bush and bestselling author of The Book of Virtues, and co-author Robert White provide strong societal and scientific arguments against the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana, once considered worthy of condemnation, has in recent years become a "medicine," legalized fully in four states, with others expected to follow. But the dangers are clear. According to Bennett's research, more Americans are admitted to treatment facilities for marijuana use than for any other illegal drug. Studies have shown a link between marijuana use and abnormal brain structure and development. From William Bennett comes a call-to-action for the 46 states that know better than to support full legalization, and a voice of reason for millions who have jumped on the legalization bandwagon because they haven't had access to the facts.

Thorough

Thorough analysis of the research, policies and issues that surround this issue. I am certain pro-legalization advocates will take issue with every point. Clearly defines the dangers of this cultural trend.

GREAT SUBJECT TO LISTEN TO

Narrator did a great job. He was easy to listen to. Worth listening to in one sitting. I only took one break, but I was anxious to continue to learn more about the authors studies into Marijuana and it's unhealthy affects. If you are interested in the topic of Marijuana, I recommend this book. Particularly, if you are a parent raising a teenager.

Clear, Compelling, and Cautionary

An incredible amount of research, summarized in a concise package. Before reading this, I admit I was susceptible to many of the arguments they debunk. Looking forward to sharing the story with friends and family.
