O knihe

Millions of Americans have used marijuana at some point in their lives, yet it remains a substance shrouded by myth, misinformation, and mystery. Over the past decades, marijuana has become a remarkable social, economic, and even political force, with a surprising range of advocates and opponents. In Marijuana: A Short History, John Hudak, one of the best-known and most-cited experts on marijuana legalization, offers an up-to-date, cutting-edge look at how a plant with a tumultuous history has emerged from the shadows of counterculture and illegality.

Public policy toward marijuana, especially in the United States, is changing rapidly. This new edition of Marijuana: A Short History provides a brief yet compelling narrative of the racial, social, and cultural history of marijuana but also tells us how a once-vilified plant has been transformed into a mainstream issue. Focusing on politics, media, racial justice, government, and education, Hudak explains why public policy has changed, and what that change might mean for marijuana's future place in society.
