A classic work on real life cannabis use in rural Jamaica
This classic work has gained new significance with the release of the recommendations of the Jamaican Ganja Commission in August 2001. Rubin and Comitas give a chronology of cannabis usage and legislation, followed by a thorough study of how cannabis is used in rural communities, primarily by poorer sections of the population. They found little evidence of harmful effects as they described the informal social controls and customs that regulated its use more effectively than punitive laws ever could. A must read for everyone seeking a thorough understanding of cannabis and how best to control its use.

One of my three favorite conference proceedings of all time.
One of the few books going to the crypt w/me. A classic. Buy it in hardback to pass it on. Nuff said.
