Three Books, 'High Times', 'Cannabis Culture', 'Weed World'
Banned
KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 (Bernama) -- The Internal Security
Ministry has banned the publication and distribution of three
books written in English effective April 13.
The three books are `High Times' (published by Trans-High
Corporation, New York), `Cannabis Culture' (Avalon Sunsplash
Ltd, Canada) and `Weed World' (Coventry, England).
A statement from the ministry said Wednesday the books were
banned under the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984 -
Printing Presses and Publications (Control of Undesirable
Publications) Order.
The ban covered printing, importation, production, reproduction,
publication, sale or possession of the three books.
The statement said the ban was imposed as the books jeopardised
national security and morality.
