Summary of Tell Your Children

By Paul Mani

Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence by Alex Berenson | Conversation Starters 

Tell your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence is an eye-opening report from former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson. In this book. Berenson reveals the undeniable link between marijuana use and mental illness. He reveals the epidemic of violence that is caused by drug use. The media has ignored and hidden these facts as the United States now rushes to legalize cannabis. To date, marijuana is legal for recreational use in nine states.
In a recent survey, a substantial number of Americans believe in the legalization of the drug for medical use. The advocates for this campaign argue that cannabis can actually help everyone from cancer patients to the war veterans. However, Alex Berenson argues that the campaign for the legalization of this drug has been solely built on myths. One of them is that America will fill its prisons when the government starts arresting for marijuana cases. Another is that most doctors think that using cannabis as medicine is a good medical breakthrough. Another myth is that cannabis is not only harmless but also beneficial for mental health. Alex Berenson’s enlightening report encompasses research from the London Institute, where scientists helped prove the link between cannabis and psychosis. It also covers the story about the inmate in the Colorado prison who is now serving a thirty-year sentence after he ate a THC-laced candy bar and eventually killed his wife. In Tell your Children, Alex Berenson sticks to the devastating facts. At a time when the United States is gripped by a huge drug epidemic, Tell your Children is that book that will make readers reconsider the risks of legalizing marijuana.
