Weed. Grass. Mary Jane. We all think we know what cannabis is and what we use it for. But do we?

In \u003cem\u003eBrave New Weed\u003c\/em\u003e, Joe Dolce travels the globe to \"tear down the cannabis closet\" and de-mystify this new frontier, seeking answers to the questions we didn't know we should ask. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDolce heads to a host of places, including Amsterdam, Israel, California, and Colorado, where he skillfully unfolds the odd, shocking, and wildly funny history of this complex plant.
