Cannabis: Global Histories

This explores the global history of cannabis, examining its consumption, commerce, and control from the 19th century to the present. It highlights case studies from various regions including Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East, showing how Western colonialism influenced global cannabis policies. The rise of commercial interests in the plant has played a significant role in challenging established control systems, while the persistent demand for cannabis has shaped cultures and politics around the world. The collection also suggests that globalization may have been influenced by the migration of cannabis consumers, clandestine supply networks, and international cooperation on its regulation.
