The Legalization of Marijuana

by Noel Merino (Editor)

Overview

The national debate over the legalization of marijuana is heating up as states begin to legalize its use for medicinal and recreational purposes. This volume deepens the discussion on marijuana; should it be legal or not? Does it help or harm users? Should medicinal use only be allowed? Answers to these questions will be debated for years to come, but this collection of essays, in a pro versus con sequence, will help readers make up their own minds now.

Editorial Reviews

Review: The Legalization of Marijuana "Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selections—by experts, policy makers, and concerned citizens—include complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers."—Booklist
