Cannabis: A Global History explores the abundant history, pharmacology and cultural significance of a controversial plant. From its origins as a food source in Southeast Asia, the book describes culinary cultures that have evolved around it over centuries, its spread across the Atlantic and its modern renaissance in cuisine. This book also investigates its mood-altering forms of consumption, from smoking to infused edibles and drinks. Richly illustrated, this timely volume offers a nuanced perspective on cannabis use throughout history.
Bradley J. Borougerdi is Professor of History at Tarrant County College in Arlington, Texas. He is the author of Commodifying Cannabis: A Cultural History of a Complex Plant in the Atlantic World (2018).
