The Scientific Study of Marihuana is an . . .

". . . important collection of research papers (some of them Abel's own) on the psychological, physiological, and social effects of marijuana. . . . A charming essay by Baudelaire introduces the collection. . . . fascinating reading."
-- Library Journal

"Material which otherwise is rather widely scattered, has been brought together in a readable and informative way. . . . The book would be very useful for general reading for one who wants to be informed about the ancillary aspects; the enlightened layman may derive much value in reading the book."
-- Choice

. . . a good overview of the subject."
