All of our lives we have heard marijuana is bad for us — the first step to drug addiction and life as a slacker — but it just isn't true! Over the last 75 years the Federal government has created a massive propaganda
blitz to discredit a natural medicine that has been used throughout the world for centuries. In 2009, the American Medical Association officially endorsed the medical value of cannabis, and 14 states have legalized medical
use with more legislation pending. Medical Marijuana 101 is a concise, accurate, and up-to-date resource for anyone interested in the healing powers of marijuana. Based on the comprehensive and best-selling
Medical Marijuana Handbook [see below], this "Cliff Notes" version can serve both as an introductory resource for those with little experience treating illness with marijuana and as a quick reference for the more
experienced user.

Dying to Get High: Marijuana as Medicine
Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb (August 2008; 272pp)
Marijuana as medicine has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing scientific evidence of its
therapeutic effects (relief of the nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from chronic and acute pain,
to name a few), the drug remains illegal under federal law.
In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the right to use
physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of
charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in 2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal
courts against the DEA.
Using as their stage this fascinating profile of one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader, complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling
interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs
from bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving
account of what is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical marijuana.
