More truth twisting to add to the confusion
6 May 2003
Format:Paperback
This author's "technique" for determining the truth is to take two extremes, find the "middle ground" and proclaim that as the "truth".
Everyone seems to know that "two wrongs don't make a right", that is except for Dr. Dixon.
If you want to find out the truth about drugs, I certainly do not recommend this book.
If you can locate a copy, I recommend: Licit and Illicit Drugs; The Consumers Union Report. Buy a book based on facts, not opinions labeled as truths.
