Cannabis: A History

by Martin Booth

About this title: To some it's antisocial anathema, to others it is a harmless way to relax, or provides relief from crippling pain.

"There were areas I wish he would have went more in depth with, like how the coffeehouse scene in Holland came into existance and other areas I wasn't as interested in, like hippy pop culture. Also he overemphasizes a lot of things that went on in Britain, which historicly isn't exactly the epicenter for Marijuana activity and culture. The author isn't a stoner, or at least doesn't come off as one, but he seems to be pro-Cannabis at least to the extent of showing the stupidity of the law enforcement witchhunts against what is more or less a harmless "drug". Overall a good general history of Cannabis."

""Cannabis is non-toxic. No deaths have been recorded from overdosing. Indeed, it has been suggested that it would take 800 joints to kill, coming from carbon monoxide rather than cannabinoid poisoning. By comparison 300 ml of vodka or 60 mg of nicotine would be lethal.""

"very very extensive history! of a plant i enjoy. it starts from ancient times, to tribal cultures, to literary circles in late 1800s, to early jazz, to the 60s counter culture, aslingers zealous campaign against it (hence the over-extreme paranoid stances of today) and beyond. he discusses uses for industrial applications and more so using as a mind altering substance. there are a lot of interesting details of usages by artists, writers, and musicians a lot of us love. how it was smuggled through time and hot spots of cultivation were covered well. took me a while to get through it, not because it's boring, but its extensive, in a good way. i finished with much more knowledge of the history and impact this plant has had on our world....which is probably more immense than people imagine."

"Contrary to what you might think, this book is kind of a snooze. I found the beginning, which was about the scientific aspects of cannabis, very interesting, but the historical part reminds me of history class. Which is a good reminder that just because something involves weed it's not always fun. Maybe I'll finish it some day..."
