Description

Cannabis An American History by Box Brown is a thought-provoking graphic novel that explores the complex and often contentious history of cannabis in America. From its introduction to Mexico in 1518, through its spread to the US via immigrant labour, to its subsequent demonisation as a "vice" targeting minority groups, this book offers a rich and persuasive account of a plant with thousands of years of use by humanity. The graphic novel sheds light on how propaganda campaigns, spearheaded by legislators and the press, whipped up fear among the public, leading to cannabis being classified as a Schedule 1 substance alongside heroin. Brown's expertly crafted narrative provides a nuanced understanding of this troubled history, one that is both entertaining and enlightening. Through its engaging storytelling, Cannabis An American History invites readers to consider the complex social and cultural factors that have shaped America's relationship with cannabis.
