Marijuana by Noel Merino (Greenhaven Press 2012)(362.295) is from the "Introducing Issues With Opposing Viewpoints" series. It is well written and authoritative, and it presents the arguments both for and against legalization, decriminalization, and medical exemption in a concise format. This book will convince even the most hardheaded abolitionist that the time for complete legalization is past due in 21st century America. My rating: 7/10, finished 11/5/2012.
