Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT MARIJUANA AND HOW DO WE KNOW IT? Marijuana is the most frequently consumed illicit drug worldwide, with over 158.8 million users, according to the UN. Responding to public pressure, the US federal government is likely to legalize recreational marijuana within the next few years. With increasing numbers of people using cannabis both medically and recreationally there are many looming questions that only science can answer. These include:
- What's likely to happen, both good and bad, if the US legalizes marijuana?
- What are some simple, science-based rules to separate fact from fiction and to help guide policy in the highly contentious marijuana debate?
- Exactly what is cannabis doing in the brain that gets us high? A journey through THC neuroscience
- Does cannabis really have medical benefits - what's the evidence?
- To what extent does cannabis impair driving?
- Can smoking marijuana in adolescence affect IQ or risk for developing schizophrenia?
- Is marijuana safe to use during pregnancy?
