Why people recommend it
Tell Your Children by Alex Berenson is a nonfiction book that examines the potential connection between heavy marijuana use and severe mental health issues, including psychosis and schizophrenia. Emily Jashinsky recommended the book on Breaking Points while discussing marijuana-induced mental breaks, pointing to Berenson's work to support her assertions. Joe Rogan has also frequently discussed and recommended the publication on The Joe Rogan Experience, mentioning it across multiple episodes with guests like Tulsi Gabbard, Josh Dubin, Derek, and Alex Berenson himself, praising the author for addressing the risks of high-dose THC and highlighting instances of individuals experiencing schizophrenic episodes. Megyn Kelly introduced Berenson on The Megyn Kelly Show by highlighting his background as an independent journalist and author of the book. During the appearance, Berenson discussed the 2019 release of his work, noting that it faced intense pushback from the political left upon publication, and he remarked that the intervening seven years have only brought forth mounting evidence supporting his initial claims regarding cannabis and psychological vulnerability. Rogan echoed these sentiments in various conversations, emphasizing that the author's exploration of the subject matter is an important resource that people need to be aware of regarding the potential negative effects of marijuana use.
