'Marijuana is SAFER' book review

This book is a MUST Read for Everyone in America!

I finished reading the book "Marijuana is SAFER... So why are we driving people to drink?" for a second time just recently and literally I couldn't put the book down reading it a second time with a yellow highlighter in hand.


This book is Absolutely Fantastic! This should be a real eye opener for anyone who is still hypnotized by "Reefer Madness". This book Exposes the Lies, Racism and false propaganda that is responsible for much of today's crime and gang problems, responsible for the extreme petroleum era damage to our earth, and the ruining or ending the lives of 100's of Millions of People Worldwide.

The book is authored by 3 of the great minds on the subject of Prohibition today. Steve Fox MPP, Paul Armentano NORML'S Deputy Director and Mason Tvert of SAFER based here in beautiful Denver, Colorado. With a wonderful forward by Former Police Chef Norm Stamper now a Director with LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition)

This in-depth book is broke down into 3 parts...

Part One: The Choice: Marijuana vs. Alcohol
According to a study 90% of Americans have drank alcohol while 45% of Americans have smoked marijuana. Being that marijuana is still illegal, it is hard to come up with accurate numbers on users nation wide but in the study America came in, of course #1 in marijuana uses by adults world wide. Americans spend just over $130 billion a year on alcohol making it the number 1 way Americans alter there natural state. The marijuana industry in American alone tops an estimated $110 million and that's with $0.00 in advertising giving alcohol a run for its money.

Part Two: Choice, Interrupted
"Prohibition... goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." Abraham Lincoln (1809-65) 18 Dec. 1840, to Illinois House of Representatives

Part Three: Freedom to Choice
In this chapter they have an excellent vision of the future with a story of someone getting off a long hard day at the office, driving home stopping at the movie store then heading to the local marijuana store. A licensed and regulated business that sells locally grown cannabis by the gram to legal aged adults. Its a great vision of the future and I know after reading this book i am ready to fight for it as well. Are you?
