Historic LoDo: Denver author Mason Tvert is the cofounder and executive director of Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) and the SAFER Voter Education Fund. He appears frequently in the news and travels the country promoting the “Marijuana Is Safer Than Alcohol” message, and he serves on the city's Marijuana Policy Review Panel appointed by Mayor John W. Hickenlooper. Tvert will discuss and sign his new book Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? ($14.95 Chelsea Green). “I have always maintained that the legalization of marijuana would lead to an overall drop in substance abuse in this country. In particular, the option of legal marijuana use, as an alternative to the death and violence associated with alcohol use, would be a welcome societal change. Surprisingly, though, there has never been a book dedicated to conveying this basic idea to the public. But with Marijuana is Safer, now there is.” –Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
