Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. U.S. Government Printing Office, U.S. Congress House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 1970. 114 pages. Wraps. First edition, first printing of the First Report on Marijuana; a study on its effect (and criminality) presented to the 91st Congress, and members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress called on Yale experts to testify on the dangers of the plant; some fifty years before they could disregard its findings in lieu of tax dollars. Book is about fine with one small textural scuff on rear. This testimony is a thoroughly enjoyable read, if for no other reason than the out-of-touch sensibilities of elected officials then, or the latent hypocrisy of modern-day ones. Near fine; rare. First report, first edition.
