Upon a first look at its cover, this book may seem like a hippie’s guide to weed smoking. However, upon reading its title and dipping into its contents, Whoa Dude! Think on these things before getting too deep into smoking weed by Kevin G. Becker Ph.D. is a highly informative caveat that you need to heed if you ever consider smoking weed for recreational purposes or if you are simply concerned about its long-term effects. As a sourcebook, it is not limited to providing information about peer-reviewed scientific evidence of the harmful effects of weed, but it also sheds light on that common misconception about weed never hurting anybody. It is not your typical ‘not-another-anti-marijuana’ guidebook, but rather a well-researched and open-minded look at what you need to consider before you even dare to flirt with Cannabis sativa.

As a concerned scientist, brother, and father, Kevin G. Becker Ph.D. hits all the right notes in his efforts to curb misinformed societal attitudes on cannabis use. While the Internet is teeming with information about marijuana use, not all of it is reliable, and you can easily fall into the trap of misinformation. Becker applies the rule of ‘show, don’t tell’ by showing you research-based facts that hopefully will help you come up with a sound decision at the end. It does not tell you to avoid weed at all costs, for such dense cautionary bidding does not help you exercise careful assessment that is necessary for an issue that puts your well-being on the betting table. As the legalization of marijuana largely contributes to the common belief that weed is safe, Whoa Dude! provides that much-needed vigilance in letting you know as much as possible about what you put in your body. It is an honest discussion that similarly advises how marijuana research is an ongoing process. The author lets you rethink if those who are pushing for the rapid commercialization of weed have your best interests at heart. This is the sourcebook that you need to be truly informed on the subject.
