More and more states are legalizing marijuana in some form.
Moreover, a majority of the U.S. population is in favor of the drug
for recreational use. In the Weeds looks at how our society has
become more permissive in the past 150 years—even though
marijuana is still considered a Schedule I drug by the American
government. Sociologists Clayton Mosher and Scott Akins take
a deep dive into marijuana policy reform, looking at the
incremental developments and the historical, legal, social, and
political implications of these changes. They investigate the
effects, medicinal applications, and possible harms of marijuana.
In the Weeds also considers arguments that youth will be heavy
users of legalized cannabis, and shows how “weed” is demonized
by exaggerations of the drug’s risks and claims of its lack of
medicinal value. Mosher and Akins end their timely and insightful
book by tracing the distinct paths to the legalization of
recreational marijuana in the United States and other countries as
well as discussing what the future of marijuana law holds.
