Educational graphic novel covering the history of cannabis in the Americas and how racism and misinformation was used to make a case for banning cannabis. Interesting that Mormons outlawed it in Utah after encountering it on mission trips to Mexico and now news is coming out medical cannabis may be legalized in Utah.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I like Brown's style. It is easy to follow and I like the artwork. Before reading this I didn't know a lot about the history of cannabis. It is interesting and relevant still today.

Box Brown turns over another piece of history to reveal it's secret history. I think I'd ready pretty much anything Box Brown produces. I loved Andre the Giant and got sucked in to Tetris. I wasn't sure that I'd like or appreciate Cannabis, but I was wrong. Brown's simple line drawing and matter-of-fact writing style make clear muddled history. I think this is a timely book, not just because there are recreational cannabis laws popping up on ballots across the country, but also because we're continually being faced with dissembling politicians trotting out "scientific facts" and "polls" to support whatever legislation they're being paid to support.
