If marijuana is relatively harmless, why is it illegal? In Marijuana: Not Guilty As Charged, veteran journalist David R. Ford explains how the federal government has perpetrated a systematic campaign of deception regarding marijuana that began in the 1930s. Why were U.S. legislators, professionals, and the general public duped into outlawing this relatively harmless plant ¾ along with hemp, its versatile nonintoxicating cousin? Why was marijuana placed in the same category as heroin? Were these deceptions and inconsistencies designed to protect multinational corporations from a plant that cannot be patented? Marijuana: Not Guilty As Charged explains all this ¾ and more!
