God on High (eBook, PDF)

Religion, Cannabis, and the Quest for Legitimacy

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

God on High examines cannabis-based religious groups in Canada and the United States. These religious groups are on the rise as cannabis use is further decriminalized or legalized. In examining these groups, Laurie Cozad explores the triangular relationships between cannabis, religion, and the law, and the ways in which the shifting discourse of medical science impacts this trio.
