What is the truth about marijuana.

It is important to know because thirty-nine percent of teens believe marijuana use has no risks and more than half of high school seniors have tried it. Twenty-seven percent of teens say they can purchase marijuana in less that an hour. Clearly people should know the answer to the question: Is marijuana dangeros? Drug Wars - The New Marijuana is a wonderful and valuable tool to teach the truth about marijuana.

An in-depth interview with Eric Martin, one of the nation's leading authorities, reveals the properties and characteristics of the "new marijuana." Martin, Executive Director of the Addiction Counselor Certification Board for the State of Oregon, makes it simple by dispelling the myths about marijuana.

  • Is marijuana really natural?
  • Is smoking marijuana dangerous?

  • How have changes in growing techniques affected marijuana's potency?
  • How does marijuana affect your heart, lungs, brain and memory?
  • What is really meant by "getting high?"
