Highlights: The Trippy History of Cannabis, tells the long, strange trip for cannabis. Along the way the wily weed has been deified and demonized to the point that it's hard to know where the truth ends and the marijuana myth begins. French poets ate it and established clubs in its honor. Jazz musicians smoked it and "saw God." Japanese artisans wove it into religious garments, and today lobbyists fight to use it medicinally. It's high time for Highlights, a book that looks at the cannabis carousel, and tries to figure out where we are and how we got here.
Highlights helps tell the story of the shifting social movements, public outcries, and media spectacles surrounding cannabis and its uses. Throughout the book, you'll find sidebars highlighting little-known facts and historical anecdotes, debunking cannabis myths and profiling famous tokers. The result is as lively and informative as it is entertaining.
