Some fear it is a dangerous drug with addictive properties; to others still it is a legal anomaly and should be decriminalized. Whatever the viewpoint, and by whatever name it is known, cannabis—or marijuana, hashish, dope, pot, weed, grass, ganja—incites debate at every level, and the effect it has on the cultures and economics of every corner of the globe is undeniable.\n     \u003cbr\u003eIn this definitive study, Martin Booth crafts a tale of medical advance, religious enlightenment, political subterfuge and human rights; of law enforcement and custom officers, cunning smugglers, street pushers, gang warfare, writers, artists, musicians, and happy-go-lucky hippies and potheads.\n     \u003cbr\u003eBooth chronicles the fascinating and often mystifying process through which cannabis, a relatively harmless substance, became outlawed throughout the Western world, and the devastating effect such legislation has on the global economy. Above all, he demonstrates how the case for decriminalization remains one of the twenty-first century's hottest topics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n   \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"Amazingly informative and riveting . . . quite intoxicating.\" —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e (UK)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"Even-handed, adult and good-humoured . . . original and thought-provoking.\" —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Sunday Telegraph \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e(UK)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"Fascinating . . . a clear-headed and sustained case.\" —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e (UK)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\n     \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\"Well-researched.\" —\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gnomes like hummus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55477604057410,"sku":null,"price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0696\/5058\/files\/81UBtfNiUgL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785546703","url":"https:\/\/gnomeslikehummus.shop\/products\/cannabis-a-history","provider":"Gnomes like hummus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
