With the rush to legalize marijuana, it has been lost in the haze that marijuana is a psychoactive drug. A drug that can lead to serious health problems, in some people. Most vulnerable are adolescents, young adults, and pregnant women, but heavy or chronic use of Weed can also lead to dependence and health complications for people at all ages. The scientific evidence clearly shows effects of Cannabis and Cannabis products on Cognition, Memory, and IQ as well as influencing Psychosis, Anxiety, Depression, Cardiovascular problems, and other health and behavioral problems. This book leads you directly to the science of Marijuana and the deleterious effects on your health.

There is a fire raging across A merica and around the world. It is an unstoppable grass fire; the legalization of recreational marijuana. A s of this writing, it seems inevitable that cannabis legalization will happen in many states and in many countries. The flames are driven by the failed war on drugs, the desire to remedy decades of unfair marijuana related incarceration, a growing medical marijuana industry, and by the enormous profits to be made in the recreational marijuana market. Clouded by all the smoke and noise is the clear scientific evidence that long term use of marijuana and cannabis products can be harmful to the health and well being of many individuals, especially adolescents and youn g adults.
My motivation for writing this book is first as a brother and father and second as a scientist. I have seen the effects of weed on my immediate and extended family and friends. A s a scientist, it is strangely discordant that the public, legislative, and individual belief that marijuana is safe flies in the face of a great deal of scientific evidence that marijuana can cause significant harm to your health and in your life. I hope you will learn some things. I know I did. I hope it will light a small fire in you as you think about it, discuss these issues among friends and family, and decide your own path forward.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife Bonnie for her support and patience in general and through the process of writing this book. I would also like to thank my sons Henry and Will for their interesting life experiences and conversations on t he topic.
Special thanks to Katherine Peterson Ph.D. of the National Eye Institute, Marquis Vawter Ph.D. of the University of California at Irvine, Tanya Barrett Ph.D. of the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Philip Lee Ph.D. of the National Institute on Child Health and Human Development, Bronwen Martin Ph.D. of the University of A ntwerp, and Stuart Maudsley Ph.D of the University of A ntwerp for their helpful and insightful reviews and comments. I would also like to thank Marco Balpiero, Inez Thompson, Henry Gruber and Michael Gilliom for their years of kindness and support for my brother.
For all the Marks in the world,
and for all their families
Who Is This Book For?
This book is for you. If you smoke weed or use cannabis products. You are going to spend a lot of money and time with weed; shouldnt you know more about it? What it could be doing to you r health?
It is for you if you are young, your friends are smoking weed, and you have questions about the health risks of weed. Is it safe? How much is too much? What are the long term effects?
It is also for you, if you are a parent, brother, sister, or a friend of someone who uses weed and are concerned about their welfare.
It is for you if you are just curious and wish to get a direct line to the scientific basis of one of the major controversies of our time.
What Is This Book A bout (and Not A bout)?
The main goal of this book is to take on two common opinions in the public sphere that are just not true. The first is, weed never hurt anybody, and the second is, we dont really know, there arent a lot of scientific studies on the effects of weed. Well, there is an overwhelming amount of published peer-reviewed scientific evidence that weed causes harm in some peoplenot everybodyand that it has the potential to affect your health and well being. Science is a journey, there is always more to be uncovered. But, if you think there is not a lot of science about the health risks of weedheres your chance to le arn more.
This is a sourcebook about marijuana. The focus is on science, in particular, the many scientific studies on the harm that using marijuana may cause you and your friends. A nd for you to really understand, and delve deeper into why weed may be harmful, there is a reference section at the end of the book. That section contains the papers I have used to prepare this book. A nd I want you to be able to read these pa pers too.
