Reviews

In an era where atheists seem to get more air time than theists, it's delightful to see a scholarly work approach the delicate interplay between cannabis and religion. Here's a thorough, informative, readable look at a complex history that's bound to surprise even the most informed scholars and entertain everyone. I promise that any reader will have at least one myth disputed and finish the book thinking about religious freedom, cannabis, and society in a whole new way. It's not just for fans of the plant or theologians; anyone who cares about our rights should read this book. -- Mitch Earleywine, University at Albany
