About this ebook
Addictionologist Ken Donaldson wrote A Deceptive Joint Venture: Some Marijuana Truths Others May Want Lie About to help people better understand the following: the level of usage in the U.S., what marijuana is and where it comes from, how it’s used and how it affects the brain, the rising potency level of marijuana, addiction to marijuana, marijuana treatment options, possible positive uses of marijuana and other impacts of marijuana use.
Many people today are defending the legalization of marijuana and, in doing so, are also condoning the use (and, perhaps unknowingly, abuse) of this substance that has many pitfalls, shortfalls and downfalls.
A Deceptive Joint Venture: Some Marijuana Truths Others May Want Lie About has been created to help the reader have a more comprehensive understanding of marijuana. This is NOT intended to support nor reject the idea of marijuana legalization, or the use of medical marijuana. This is simply to provide you with some facts, research and findings about marijuana use, abuse and addiction.
