Since the 1930s, the United States has been waging a war on cannabis, using politics and propaganda to muddle our collective perception of this incredible plant. Yet in the past decade, our perspectives toward this complex herb have shifted, opening the door for a new understanding of weed.
Enter Joe Dolce, who journeys across the globe in a quest to understand the clouded past and bright future of weed. His travels take him on a tour of gardens and grow rooms, doctors' offices and dispensaries, and hospitals and homemade hash-making labs, as he explores the groundbreaking developments sparked by cultural acceptance. Along the way, he meets world-class researchers, entrepreneurs, historians, and cultural avatars who help him paint a clear-eyed portrait of the power of weed. In dispatches from Amsterdam, Israel, California, Colorado, and more, Dolce skillfully unfolds the odd history, emerging science, and massive economic potential behind this miraculous plant.
Brave New Weed offers a fresh take on the new world of cannabis and all the promise that this much-maligned plant holds. Enlightening, entertaining, and thought-provoking, Brave New Weed will surprise and educate advocates on both sides of the cannabis debate.
