A de-mythologizing and scientifically based reassessment of the cannabis debate that dispels prevailing clichés and allows for a more objective formation of opinion. This book brings the common arguments of the opponents of cannabis reform to the point and shows: The objections of reform opponents are not based on facts, but on myths.

Especially for the upcoming votes in Switzerland and the controversial cannabis liberalization in Europe, this book is particularly important: as a sound argumentation aid and as an objective contribution to the discussion.
