Colorado authors will fill the bookshelves with pigskin, pot and more this autumnSeptember
If you've ever heard the "Marijuana is Safer than Alcohol" message
(and been intrigued by it), then Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are
We Driving People to Drink? (Chelsea Green Publishing,
$14.95/paperback, Sept. 15) might be just the book you've been seeking.
Mason Tvert, co-founder and executive director of Safer
Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), and a member of Denver's
Marijuana Policy Review Panel (appointed by Mayor John Hickenlooper),
has written a tome, along with Steve Fox and Paul Armentano, that
addresses why our nation has been pushed toward alcohol and away from
cannabis, and why law reform is needed.
