      By Cochran, Peter  Human Relations Media, inc
       c2013., Human Relations Media Call No: DVD 615    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "Many teens think that pot is harmless because some states have legalized marijuana for medical and/or recreational purposes. This fact-based program emphasizes that legality is not the same thing as safety and details the risks of marijuana on mental and physical health. Clinicians talk about how the vast majority of their patients have been addicted to marijuana, and recovering addicts themselves vividly describe their struggles with addiction. Their stories illustrate how marijuana has affected their school and family lives, their ability to drive a car, and their mental health. A scientist describes her research showing that marijuana use by teens causes decline in mental functioning and IQ. The program stresses that even in states that have legalized marijuana it is still illegal for anyone under 21, and it is still illegal at the federal level."--Cover.

       Call No: 613.8 NEL    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: In recent years, there has been a sea-change in the perception of marijuana in many countries. In some countries and U.S. states, it is now legal to use marijuana for medical and/or recreational purposes, while in others, using marijuana is still a serious crime. Despite the growing acceptance of marijuana in some countries, many young people have questions about marijuana, such as: What is marijuana? How is it consumed? What is medical marijuana? What is recreational marijuana? How has public opinion about the use of marijuana changed in the last few decades? Marijuana in Society provides the answers to these and many other questions. It will provide you with a better understanding of marijuana and the issues facing patients, government officials, and the public. You'll have the facts to decide what you believe and the facts to discuss it with others. Marijuana in Society is just one of five fascinating titles in the Marijuana Today series. Readers will learn about medical and recreational marijuana, the benefits and harmful effects of using marijuana, the various legal marijuana products that are now available, what supporters and opponents of marijuana legalization have to say, and much more.
