Medical Marijuana

By Eddie Brooks

Proponents of medical marijuana argue that it can be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and other conditions. This anthology contains a collection of essays on topics relating to medical marijuana use. Written by respected authorities in their fields, they express contrasting opinions on the topics presented for discussion in each chapter. Disparate viewpoints of complex issues are encapsulated in each chapter with the use of a question-and-response format. Students are encouraged to see the validity of divergent opinions, so that they may understand the topic fully. Important facts, perfect for report writing, are dispersed throughout in eye-catching boxed insets.
