À propos de cet audio

 In “a brilliant antidote to all the…false narratives about pot” (American Thinker), an award-winning author and former New York Times reporter reveals the link between teenage marijuana use and mental illness, and a hidden epidemic of violence caused by the drug—facts the media have ignored as the United States rushes to legalize cannabis.

Recreational marijuana is now legal in nine states. Advocates argue cannabis can help everyone from veterans to cancer sufferers. But legalization has been built on myths—that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is beneficial for mental health. In this meticulously reported book, Alex Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, explodes those myths, explaining that almost no one is in prison for marijuana; a tiny fraction of doctors write most authorizations for medical marijuana, mostly for people who have already used; and marijuana use is linked to opiate and cocaine use. Most of all, THC—the chemical in marijuana responsible for the drug’s high—can cause psychotic episodes.

“Alex Berenson has a reporter’s tenacity, a novelist’s imagination, and an outsider’s knack for asking intemperate questions” (Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker), as he ranges from the London institute that is home to the scientists who helped prove the cannabis-psychosis link to the Colorado prison where a man now serves a thirty-year sentence after eating a THC-laced candy bar and killing his wife. He sticks to the facts, and they are devastating.

With the US already gripped by one drug epidemic, Tell Your Children is a “well-written treatise” (Publishers Weekly) that “takes a sledgehammer to the promised benefits of marijuana legalization, and cannabis enthusiasts are not going to like it one bit” (Mother Jones).

I began this book expecting more heat than light, opinion based on ideology and oversimplified case histories rather than objective evidence. In thirty years practicing addiction medicine in the trenches I’ve seen lots of horror stories treating more than my share of people suffering the short and longterm effects of cannabis. But I’m more interested in evidence than opinion, no matter how passionately held or articulately presented. Berenson surprised me. His past investigative journalism experience came through in his presentation of important published (peer reviewed) research findings that, even when I checked his facts, I found alarming. I had known of a causative link between cannabinoid use and psychosis, however I was unaware of the strength of the existing, published evidence nor the disturbing association of cannabinoid induced psychosis and violent crime. He goes on to explore and debunk many of the pro-legalization arguments that flooded the media leading up to major legislative changes.

Although this book is very important, there several reasons, I doubt it will significantly influence decision makers or the public. Despite not being written as a science paper with formal citations, endnotes and bibliography, it is data heavy, describing study after study making it, at times, heavy going. I also suspect it will attract the ire and some persuasive - if not exactly evidence-based - reaction op/ed essays from critics on behalf of the well financed Cannabis lobby.

In the final pages his new book, Homo Deus, Harrari explains that, during these times of data overload, censorship works through flooding people with irrelevant and confusing information. It is unfortunate but highly likely Berenson’s book will be lost in the tsunami of advertorials and infomercial misinformation praising the global benefits of cannabis. Too bad, as he provides important cautionary information for lawmakers for parents or for people thinking of ingesting marijuana or cannabinoid products. He also provides a solid framework for the basis of a future class action law suit against legislators and corporations who had access to this same information.
