Download or read book Cannabis Culture written by Patrick Matthews and published by Trafalgar Square. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What exactly happens when you get stoned? Why does your mouth dry up and why do you become so interested in food and sex? Why can some people work when they're stoned and others can't? What are the tobacco companies' plans for exploiting the potential legal market? How come there's so much cannabis found in prisons and how does it get there? Who brings it across national borders? CANNABISCULTURE answers all these questions and more. Thirty years after THE TIMES ran an advertisement calling the law against cannabis 'immoral in principle and unworkable in practice', the drug's legalisation has become a live political and social issue. But there is surprisingly little information available on the drug: from its medicinal properties to its function as a commodity which is traded on a global scale, its role in various religions to the many ways in which it can be cultivated and its effect on the body and mind.

Book excerpt: A history of one of the world?s most misunderstood, yet most admired plants In 1935, Popular Science magazine called hemp "the new billiondollar crop." Two years later, it was banned. Hemp is the world?s strongest natural fibre, and has been cultivated for 10,000 years. It was the main cash crop of New France, which was ordered by Louis XIV to grow hemp for rope for his navy. A Man of War used 60 tons of hemp rope for its rigging, including 25-inch-thick anchor cable. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp, and Benjamin Franklin owned a hemp mill. Levi Strauss jeans were made of hemp fibres in the 19th century. At the same time, hemp?s cousin, Cannabis sativa, was used as a cheap drug by many of the poorer people in the world, icluding a considerable number of African-Americans. Today, hemp is grown for food, used to make insulation in clothes and buildings, burned as fuel, made into medicine and distilled into oil for use in lotions, soap and cosmetics. In this fascinating study, veteran journalist Mark Bourrie explores the history of this controversial plant, including its ban by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, whose officials consider it a drug, rather than a utilitarian, cash crop. Chapters include information on everything from the history of hemp to the various uses of hemp to what the future might hold for this crop. (August 2003)

Download or read book A History of the Hemp Industry in Kentucky written by James F. Hopkins and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hard to believe that at one time burley tobacco was not the chief cash crop in Kentucky. Yet for more than half a century hemp dominated the state's agricultural production. James Hopkins surveys the hemp industry in Kentucky from its beginning through its complete demise at the end of World War II, describing the processes of seeding and harvesting the plant, and marketing manufactured goods made of the fiber. With debate presently raging over the legalization of industrial hemp, it is essential that an accurate portrait of this controversial resource be available. Although originally published in 1951, Hopkins's work remains remarkably current as hemp manufacturing today is little changed from the practices the author describes. This edition includes an updated bibliography of recent publications concerning the scientific, economic, and political facets of industrial hemp.

Book excerpt: Today, weed is en vogue and has evolved into a good-looking business. High on Design showcases the new brands, designs and creators behind this revolution. While cannabis is a recreational drug still strongly associated with Western subculture, it has recently become a huge industry. Over the past few years, consuming the herb and using its derivatives have become legal in several countries, and a wave of entrepreneurs has come through, looking to generate and bank on a new generation of consumers. Through insightful texts, High on Design reflects on the novel aesthetics, people, and trends of contemporary cannabis culture, and provides a wider view of the phenomenon. Addiction, crime, science, the marketing of weed as a booster of creativity and a medical aid, and the use of hemp in clothing are all considered.
