"I did not inhale." Bill Clinton.
At the beginning of the 21st century, perceptions about cannabis have never been more blurred. A smokescreen of ignorance, opposing opinions and vested interest has created an intense world debate that has witnessed promises of Draconian crackdowns, arrests, medical approval, police officers calling for its decriminalisation and even an American President admitting to smoking a joint but not inhaling!
Highly informative and entertaining, 'This Is Cannabis' provides and authoritative and impartial account of the drug of its title. It reveals the facts behind the propaganda, charts its history from the first recorded use more than 2,700 years ago, examines its ever-changing relationship with international law and the establishment and discusses its place within human society and culture as both a medicinal option and pleasurable pastime.
