The resources you've shared with all of us are a real boost to my program. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the additional tips and references on understanding the perspectives of many people that are pro-legalization. I think many times people just aren't informed or perhaps they heard some information on television and assumed it was correct....

Dr. Paula Gordon, an instructor for Auburn University’s Outreach, is offering an inexpensive on-line course on marijuana that I think is beneficial to everyone engaged in the battle to save our kids and nation from this insidious drug. Given the problems we have with marijuana in California, I highly recommend this course for anyone seeking to improve their knowledge.

About Your Instructor: Paula D. Gordon, PhD
Dr. Gordon has been involved in the drug abuse prevention and drug policy fields for many decades. She is the author of a Guide to Ideas on Drug Abuse Policies and Programs and major contributor to a White Paper on the Drug Problem prepared for the Domestic Affairs Council Staff of the White House. Dr. Gordon later served as a full-time consultant in the Office of the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health and as the full-time staff person to the Federal Drug Abuse Prevention Coordinating Committee. She was a major contributor to the legislation that established the Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention in the Executive Office of the President. That Office was a precursor to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. Her many publications, reports, and presentations can be found at GordonDrugAbusePrevention.com.
Dr. Gordon has developed this course in an effort to help more fully inform parents, community and national drug prevention, intervention, and treatment and rehabilitation program organizers and service providers, government officials, as well as others in roles of responsibility, concerning the effects of marijuana and the substantial negative impacts its use is having on individuals, families, and society.
