Meet the Authors of Legal Marijuana: Perspectives on Public Benefits, Risks, and Policy Approaches, Joaquin Jay Gonzalez III and Mickey P. McGee.

Though legalization of marijuana for medicinal and adult use (a.k.a. “recreational”) is growing state by state and country by country, not everyone believes it to be a good idea.
