Marijuana and the Workplace : Interpreting Research on Complex Social Issues
Schwenk, Charles R and Rhodes, Susan L, Eds. Marijuana and the Workplace: Interpreting Research on Complex Social Issues. Westport, CT: Quorum Books. November 1999, 198 pages.
 If sound policy is to be made on the issue of marijuana in the workplace, all available empirical evidence about its impact on job performance should be utilized in the decision process. Although a substantial amount of relevant research has been done, the results published in journals in widely divergent fields, are not easily summarized and present no single, simple message for decision makers. Schwenk and Rhodes offer a unique review of this complex body of work and challenge the many highly publicized but scientifically unsound "mythical" numbers touted as supporting various policy options. The authors provide a clear and objective presentation to managers on how to evaluate the evidence for themselves and make sound decisions for their own organizations. Scrupulously unbiased in its choice of material, the book will be an essential resource for organizational and public policy makers, and for university students and their teachers.
