Summary:
Bennett was director of the National Drug Control policy under President George H.W. Bush. He offers strong societal and scientific arguments against the legalization of marijuana, in a call-to-action for the 46 states that know better than to support full legalization. Bennett and White provides a voice of reason for millions who have jumped on the legalization bandwagon because they haven't had access to the facts.
