Download or read book Offbeat Marijuana written by Saul Rubin and published by Offbeat Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This decidedly lowbrow contribution to the literature on the marijuana debate is unimpressive in both textual and visual content; many photographs are printed in too-dark, low-contrast bandw (and, surprise, green), and many of their captions consist of such lame attempts at humor it's doubtful that they would be funny even under the influence. The body of the text itself also adopts this self-consciously "freewheeling" tone as it meanders through discussions of pot prohibition, medicinal use, and other uses of hemp.

But when she's forced to admit that she needs help, she reluctantly opens up her solitary life to allow her grand-niece Amber, practically a stranger, to move into Heronbrook to take care of her. Evie, who has been estranged from her sister's family for many years, vows to keep Amber at a distance so her secrets - and the truth of what happened at Heronbrook years ago - stay buried. Amber is initially preoccupied with the recent implosion of both her career and her love life, the details of which she's keeping to herself, but soon becomes very curious about the rift in her family. And when unsettling incidents begin to make Evie's secluded home feel less peaceful and more dangerously isolated, Amber starts to suspect that what happened to Evie wasn't an accident at all - and the person responsible still has Evie in their sights. But can Amber persuade Evie to confront the past and get to the truth before it's too late?

So she starts to get her affairs in order and writes a suicide note to her loving parents to explain it all . . .
