“A delightful book... a glimpse of what enlightened drug education could be.”
—Dr. Andrew Weil Author, founder of the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine
“I highly recommend this little book for students in D.A.R.E., other drug abuse prevention programs, and their teachers and parents. It’s a jewel.”
—Ethan Nadelmann Founder of the Drug Policy Alliance
“I do really wish that I had known about this book, and had given a copy to my son, long before I got busted. CNN is not the best way for your kid to find out... it was very hard on him and on my wife who had to explain it. Fortunately I have a genuine medical use for it and the paperwork to match ... it gave her a place to start but the book would have been better by far.”
—David Crosby Musician, Father
