“A Mexico City-based journalist’s conversational exploration of the social context, possible harms, and potential benefits of cannabis…Solid research and a global perspective create a useful approach focusing on harm reduction.”

— KIRKUS REVIEWS

“This book’s timing is perfect for our world. As we begin to see past the weeds (pun intended) to find sustainable solutions rooted in harm reduction for our youth, this is the book to share.”

— FELICIA CARBAJAL, community organizer and executive director of The Social Impact Center

“Caitlin Donohue's ‘Weed: Cannabis Culture in the Americas’ masterfully connects the dots between the ancient roots and modern implications and applications of cannabis, delivering an enlightening journey through diverse perspectives. With its star-studded insights and deeply knowledgeable authorship, it's an essential read for anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of cannabis culture.”

— JAVIER HASSE, drug reporter, co-founder/CEO of Spanish-language website El Planteo, Benzinga head of content

“Accessible, engaging and evidence based, ‘Weed’ provides an excellent overview of the political changes related to cannabis in the Americas and the personal stories that provide meaning and motivation to the global reform movement. Weaving data and history with the powerful voices of activists, patients, mothers, educators, academics and others connected to the (il)legal cannabis market, Caitlin Donohue takes us on a journey to understand the profound consequences of prohibition in our communities and explores social justice measures to repair those harms. A must-have for young people and other curious readers!”

— ZARA SNAPP, drug policy advocate and director of Mexico’s Instituto RIA
