Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence Audiobook (Free)

In “a brilliant antidote to all the…false narratives about container” (American Thinker), an award-winning author and former New York Times reporter reveals the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness, and a concealed epidemic of assault due to the medication—information the media have ignored as america rushes to legalize cannabis.

Recreational marijuana is currently legal in 9 states. Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer victims. But legalization continues to be about Tell YOUR KIDS: THE REALITY About Cannabis, Mental Disease, and Violence built on common myths—that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors wish to make use of cannabis as medicine; that it could somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it’s beneficial for mental wellness. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a previous New York Instances reporter, explodes those misconceptions, explaining that almost no one is in prison for marijuana; a tiny portion of doctors write many authorizations for medical weed, mostly for people who have already used; and cannabis use is associated with opiate and cocaine make use of. Primarily, THC—the chemical in marijuana in charge of the medication’s high—can cause psychotic episodes.

“Alex Berenson includes a reporter’s tenacity, a novelist’s imagination, and an outsider’s knack for asking intemperate questions” (Malcom Gladwell, THE BRAND NEW Yorker), while he ranges from the London institute that’s home towards the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis connect to the Colorado jail where a guy now serves a thirty-year word after taking in a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they’re devastating.

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