Über diesen Titel

A sacred herb. A stoner joke. A billion-dollar industry. A criminal offense. Cannabis has worn a thousand masks — medicine, menace, miracle, meme — depending on the era, the culture, and who was holding the power. In High Society, JJ delivers a sharp, surprising, and deeply human history of the plant that refuses to stay in one box. From ancient rituals in India and burial rites in Scythian tombs to jazz clubs, sweat lodges, courtrooms, and dispensary chains, this book follows weed's journey through the world's empires, religions, revolutions, and contradictions. You'll see how cannabis became a scapegoat, a culture, a war, and a market — often all at once. This isn't a stoner memoir or a medical manual. It's a civilizational walkthrough, packed with untold stories, suppressed histories, and a clear-eyed look at how a plant got caught in the machinery of control, capitalism, and culture.
