An astounding first person account of the modern history of America's love-hate relationship with cannabis from four knowing perspectives. Firstly, as a young consumer, then an activist, abstinent researcher and not-so-tacit university professor. From no one else's writings can these unique viewpoints be gained.--Allenn St. Pierre, Executive Director, National Director of the Reform of Marijuana Laws
A terrific book that provides great insights into the complex issue that is cannabis. Professor Roffman's unique experiences with this drug are given voice with his usual thoughtful and engaging style. Roffman is a father of modern cannabis intervention research and his book is a must read.--Professor Jan Copeland, Director, National Cannabis Prevention and Information Center, University of New South Wales
Roger writes a compelling story. No matter what side of the marijuana debate you land on, you can appreciate how he arrived at his opinion on the matter. This is more than an argument for or against the legalization of marijuana, it's a detailed map of his personal journey and evolution on the topic. I have long respected Roger's willingingness to tell the whole story in his work. Reading this book helps me understand the thoughts, tears, steps and intention behind his position.--Frank Couch, LMFTA, CDP, NCACI, Executive Director, The Science And Management of Addictions
Dr. Roffman writes beautifully from multiple perspectives about his 40 year interest in marijuana policy -- the destructive impacts of our drug war on exploring young lives, the political struggles over policy changes, his own experimentation and dependency, and his research on marijuana addiction. A must-read for all seeking a saner approach to recreational drug use.--Robert W. Wood, M.D., Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Washington
Marijuana Nation was a totally engaging read! It vastly broadened my understanding of the history of marijuana within our culture. I especially appreciated the candidness with which Dr. Roffman described his personal experiences and opinions around marijuana. As a mother who grew up in the 60's and 70's and is now frantic about my teen son's heavy marijuana use, this book has given me a better perspective and knowledge that is helping me deal with his dependence. I think this is a book every parent should read.--Julie Campbell, youth substance abuse prevention activist, Seattle
For 45 years, Roffman has worn a multitude of hats, all related to his fascination with marijuana: the first to survey soldiers about their pot use in Vietnam, activist working to reform the laws, federally-funded marijuana dependence researcher, addiction therapist, drug educator, and - for a while - even a dealer who helped cancer patients learn about pot.It began in Vietnam where, as an Army officer in 1967, he questioned the prison terms meted out to soldiers who got high, while at every military base in the country booze was cheap and readily available.Roffman has experienced the layered and complex relationship Americans have with marijuana first-hand. His stories offer all too rare balanced insights about a drug that directly or indirectly has affected virtually all of us living in Marijuana Nation.
