Summary: give me a break!
Review: First of all, let me make one thing quite clear: I am for the legalization of all drugs, I get really annoyed when people speak against marijuana, I am repulsed by the lies and propaganda that groups like DARE use against pot, and overall, I think pot is pretty cool--if you use it wisely. This book is a frivolous castle in the air. It presents all of the benefits, including some Ms Bello made up herself, and doesn't show you any of the downsides. In my experience, and in the experience of many of my friends, there are dangers as well as benefits regarding this plant. Marijuana is not some thing you can casually pick up and allow to fill your life; it can very easily take over your whole livelihood. In order to become a conscientious and responsible pot-smoker, you need to set limits for yourself, know when and when not to smoke, take up plenty of interests besides drugs, balance being "high" with being "normal", and above all, take the plant seriously! According to this book, smoking pot is like drinking water: 100% harmless, you can do it anytime you want and as much as you want, and without it, you're toast. ...This book automatically makes marijuana less safe than it would be otherwise! There are plenty of other books that will give a more balanced pro-and-con view of the old bhang! This is nothing but propaganda, equal and opposite to the propaganda used by DARE!

Summary: oh shut up!
Review: I found this book so over the top it was absurd. In one chapter it actually states that most people who try pot don't feel any difference at all and wonder what all the fuss is about. Give me break. I'm not anti marijuana, but I do feel there is a time and place to use it. The author seems to shove her opinion down your throat that all the cares in the world would be solved if people were to stay stoned as much as possible. Of course the economy as we know it would collapse but we would be too stoned to care. I thought the book would give a more factual account of the pros and cons I was dissappointed that it turned out to be such a fairy tale.

Summary: An excellent book backed up by fact and action.
Review: I thought I knew a lot about marijuana until I read this book. Joan Bello has not only written an excellent book, she is an active advocate.She is an in-take processor for a class action law suit against the Federal Government endorsing the medical use of marijuana. I have Glaucoma, and have been legally blind since 1993. I have had bad reactions to traditional medications. Marijuana may be able to help me save my remaining vision. This book has been well researched and documented. Joan Bello and the other contributors to the book really care about people. When is this country going to wake up. Are prisons are overflowing. We are letting out violent crimminals on the streets years early to make room for non violent drug offenders. I would like to thank joan and the attorneys behind the class action law suit. It is time to stand up and be counted.

Summary: Wish this book was available 20 years ago
Review: Joan Bello adresses feelings I have always had but I was not sure why. Now it makes a lot more sense. One big bonus in reading this book was I now try to pay a lot more attention to my inner self when I am in this higher state of consciousness as opposed to watching TV or something mundane like that. I try to expose myself to more stimulations than I use to. One other thing that I have noticed is I can really feel the depressing nature of alcohol way more than I use to. I have always had the feeling but I did not pay much attention to it. Now I find it really easy to tune into and it turns me off. This book is very interesting, a touch difficult to read in parts but in the end it improves your awareness of yourself and of this little beautiful plant that I have embraced for most of my life.

Summary: A MUST READ for all who use this miracle plant!
Review: Joan Bello is a very good friend and I helped in researching this book for her. Her wisdom of this plant and the way she expresses herself is honest, truthful and factual. Those in society who oppose this plant should be forced to write a book report on this brilliant work of truth! I am looking forward to the new updated edition coming out soon! I love you joan!

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This book tells the truth. The author was sentenced to 12 years in prison for her beliefs -- right here in Amerika (I wish that I had 1/3 the courage of this person). In her book, she tells how marijuana is a life saving plant and explains its actions on the human being in terms of physical, Psychological and spiritual dimensions. In her writings she explains how the medical dangers of marijuana are basicaly non-existant and that the spiritual aspects are what terrorize the the government(how true). Marijuana will become the wonder drug of the new millennium.

Summary: Politically Incorrect!
Review: Truth IS hard to find..but this little book is cram packed with a most haunting, unorthodox, and politically incorrect truth: The kind of truth you recognise when you hear it. My copy is dogeared and tattered from the hands of many awed readers. When they ask in amazement, "Marijuana' has benefits? Who would have known?" My answer? The US Government for one!
