In “a brilliant antidote to all or any the…false narratives about container” (American Thinker), an award-winning author and former NY Times reporter reveals the link between teenage weed use and mental illness, and a concealed epidemic of violence due to the medication—facts the media have ignored as the United States rushes to legalize cannabis.

Recreational marijuana is now legal in nine states. Advocates claim cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization continues to be about Tell YOUR KIDS: THE REALITY About Cannabis, Mental Disease, and Violence built on common myths—that cannabis arrests fill up prisons; that a lot of doctors desire to make use of cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it’s good for mental wellness. In this meticulously reported publication, Alex Berenson, a former New York Occasions reporter, explodes those common myths, explaining that minimal one is in prison for marijuana; a little small fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical weed, mostly for people who have currently used; and cannabis use is associated with opiate and cocaine make use of. Primarily, THC—the chemical substance in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—could cause psychotic episodes.

“Alex Berenson has a reporter’s tenacity, a novelist’s imagination, and an outsider’s knack for asking intemperate queries” (Malcom Gladwell, THE BRAND NEW Yorker), seeing that he ranges through the London institute that’s home towards the researchers who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a guy now acts a thirty-year sentence after taking in a THC-laced bag of chips and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating.

With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, Tell YOUR KIDS is a “well-written treatise” (Publishers Weekly) that “takes a sledgehammer to the promised benefits of weed legalization, and cannabis enthusiasts are not going to enjoy it one bit” (Mother Jones).
