His travels take him on a tour of gardens and grow rooms, doctors’ offices and dispensaries, and hospitals and homemade hash-making labs, as he explores the groundbreaking developments sparked by growing cultural acceptance. Along the way, he meets world-class researchers, entrepreneurs, historians, and cultural avatars who help him paint a clear-eyed portrait of the power of weed. In dispatches from Amsterdam, Israel, California, Colorado, and more, Dolce skillfully unfolds the odd history, emerging science, and massive economic potential behind this miraculous plant.Brave New Weed offers a fresh take on the new world of cannabis and all the promise that this much-maligned plant holds.
