Hopefully no one will read this book. Nahas' research is not accurate and it pains me to think that anyone would believe this and would base their lives around this crap.If you read it, read it informed and don't beleive everything you read anyways.

Although I have not read the book I know that Gabriel G. Nahas is most famous/infamous for "proving" marijuana causes brain cell loss. His findings have influenced the decisions of politicians world wide to continue the criminalization of a drug used by humans freely for thousands of years. But his findings were absolutely untrue, they were one of the greatest examples of junk science in modern history. His experiments involved monkeys strapped down forced to inhale large quantities of marijuana smoke through a gas mask for longer than 5 minutes, starving the brain of oxygen.(1) His experiments proved that prolonged carbon monoxide exposure and oxygen starvation causes brain cell loss not marijuana use. Recent studies that compare heavy users of the marijuana and their none using peers have found no significant difference in basic function and no evidence of brain damage.(2) But if you want to buy this book for its humorously untrue content than go ahead, or maybe because you want to buy one of the greatest published hoaxs as a collectable item then go ahead as well. All I ask is that you treat this book as the work of fiction that it is.
