520    "By the end of 2015, twenty-three states and the District 
       of Columbia had legalized recreational marijuana, and more
       states are likely to follow suit. Many doctors support the
       use of marijuana to treat a variety of ailments, including
       pain, muscle spasms, and nausea. And the recreational 
       marijuana industry is booming -- even major tobacco 
       companies are poised to get into the business. Yet long-
       term, scientific studies on the effectiveness and harmful 
       side effects of marijuana are still to come. And despite 
       state law, the US government criminalizes the cultivation,
       transportation, sale, and use of marijuana for any reason.
       In [this book], readers will meet real people such as the 
       Figi family of Denver, Colorado, who use a form of non-
       mind-altering marijuana to control their daughter's 
       seizures. Readers will also hear the voices of Americans 
       who are deeply concerned about the potential for marijuana
       abuse, especially among young people. Learn more about the
       patchwork of US and state marijuana laws, the medical 
       questions still to be resolved, and the social controversy
       surrounding marijuana that divides American citizens and 
       experts alike."--From book jacket.
