LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - s4story -- Acclaimed author Maurice I. Crawford, known for his authoritative and analytical works on social and cultural issues, releases his latest hard-hitting book, Blunted: The Real Possible Effects of Blunts and Hybrid Marijuana Use. This eye-opening exposé takes a real look at the long-term psychological, physiological, and societal consequences of widespread blunt and hybrid marijuana consumption.

As hybrid marijuana strains with dangerously high THC levels flood the market, Blunted exposes the potential consequences—mental health crises, cognitive impairment, addiction, and the overlooked impact on communities.

Crawford explores the intersection of addiction, corporate interests, and public health while dissecting the actual cost of today's high-THC cannabis culture.

EXCERPT FROM BLUNTED

"Weed isn't what it used to be. The same plant that was once associated with peace and creativity has been genetically manipulated into something far more potent—something that is altering minds in ways we've yet to fully understand. The 'natural' argument no longer applies. Today's marijuana is stronger, more addictive, and marketed to the most vulnerable members of our society. The question isn't whether weed is harmful; the real question is—why aren't we talking about the harm it's already causing?" Maurice I. Crawford, Blunted
