Buckley
on
Marijuana
Myths
10/24/97
In an unusual move, conservative syndicated columnist (and executive
editor of National review magazine) dedicated an entire column last week
to a discussion of a new book, Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts" by
Lynn Zimmer, Ph.D. and Dr. John P. Morgan, M.D. The column urged parents,
teachers and especially lawmakers to read the book in order to become more
informed before attempting to set policy in this area. Also, the current
issue of Rolling Stone magazine (Oct. 20) features the book in its lead
editorial by editor Jann Wenner.
If you don't already own a copy of this scientifically sound and socially
relevant book, why the heck not? You can order it (it's $12.95) by calling
BookWorld at (800) 444-2524. Outside the US, call (941) 758-8094. The ISBN
# is 0- 9641568-4-9. Or, better yet, go on down to your local bookstore
and ask them to order it!
