Marijuana is the most frequently consumed illicit drug worldwide. With increasing numbers of people using cannabis both medically and recreationally there are many looming questions that only science can answer. These include: What's likely to happen, both good and bad, if the US legalizes marijuana?; What are some simple, science-based rules to separate fact from fiction and to help guide policy in the highly contentious marijuana debate?; Exactly what is cannabis doing in the brain that gets us high?; Does cannabis really have medical benefits?; To what extent does cannabis impair driving?; Can smoking marijuana in adolescence affect IQ or risk for developing schizophrenia?; And is marijuana safe to use during pregnancy? These wide-ranging questions and many more are answered in "Weed Science: Cannabis Controversies and Challenges". -- From publisher's description.

"A native of Long Island, New York, Pete Young first grew cannabis on the roof of a friend's apartment building when he was fifteen years old. A fascination with marijuana cultivation quickly followed, with Young mastering techniques like HID lighting, water polymers, and genetics. Young moved to Canada in the late 1980s and soon began selling seeds out of the Great Canadian Hemporium in London, Ontario. After police raided the head shop he took part in one of the first constitutional challenges to Canada's drug laws. When he befriended a young man whose severe cystic fibrosis was aided by one thing only--marijuana consumption--Young began growing for medicinal users, and eventually became one of the biggest producers and distributors of illicit medical marijuana in Canada. Along the way he overcame every obstacle a guerilla grower faces, including crop theft, forest fire, police arrest, bankruptcy, home invasion, physical assault and, perhaps most intimidating of all, hungry male deer. In 2015, Young stepped onto the right side of the law when he co-founded and was named master grower at Indiva, a Health Canada-licensed producer of medical marijuana."--
