Pamela Black gives readers great insight into the cannabis use by Generation Jones, an often overlooked population in drug research. Using classic criminological theory, she skillfully shows the effects as well as the explanations for their use. For anyone interested in why their parents and grandparents use marijuana, this book offers the answers. -- Lisa Pasko, University of Denver
