From Booklist

Rubin's entertaining and provocative cultural history of pot recounts Robert Mitchum's famous 1948 reefer contretemps, significantly notes medical marijuana advocate Robert Randall (coauthor of Marijuana Rx ), and includes an earnest essay exploring industrial and other nonrecreational uses of the evil weed. A special place in the text, rather like one in Hades, is reserved for Harry J. Anslinger, "the government official most responsible for creating anti-marijuana hysteria in America." Heading the Federal Bureau of Narcotics 1930^-62, Anslinger spewed antimarijuana invective, some of which Rubin wryly repeats. With many illustrations, glib boxed features, and a snappy style, the book could be one of those casual-to-a-fault "for dummies" guidebooks. It contains a lot of information, delivered in the light and chatty manner of many antipot screeds. Notable for recalling how yellow journalism and demonization of certain social groups helped in the criminalization of marijuana and other drugs, it is definitely promarijuana, perhaps too much so for some to put in their intellectual freedom pipes and smoke. Mike Tribby

Synopsis

How does a society go from nearly decriminalizing cannabis in the 1970s to today, where adults are typically punished more severely for growing cannabis plants for their own consumption, than for violent crimes such as rape and arson? This book offers examples of how such a premise came true.

This book has just about everything you'd ever want to know about marijuana, and it's written in a "head-friendly" prose style that makes it an excellent diversion whilst indulging. The graphics, many quite lurid, harken back to a simpler (read: stupider) time that is thankfully past. Congratulations to Santa Monica Press for having the balls to print this outstanding tome!

Titanic Tribute To THC! 10. Februar 2000
Von Alex Icon
Format:Taschenbuch
At last, a book that "tells it like it is"! There is much to learn for even the most literary toker in this cluttered tome. Chock-full of historical and cultural matter, it contains much food for thought and a lot of droll laughs. A great gift for someone who would just as soon prefer you give them a bag of weed. This will last longer!

Thank you Mr. Rubin 9. Mai 2002

I enjoyed reading the book so much that I bought my very anti-pot parents a copy, and they even enjoyed it. This book is superbly written. Giving an in depth look at the history and culture surround this wonderful [plant], Mr. Rubin delivers a product that swept me away in its thoroughness and style. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. His facts are well laid out, with clear insight into the who, what, where and when. Mr. Rubin's book is even handed in its approach, not laying on a heavy pro-pot bias that other books do. I found this book refreshing, eye opening, and a total pleasure to read. I hope that you take the time to sit down and enjoy this book. Thank you to Mr. Rubin for teaching me so much, and making it so fun to learn it!
