by Fritz Allhoff (Editor); Dale Jacquette (Editor); Foreword by Rick Cusick


From the publisher

The debate on the status and legality of cannabis continues to gain momentum. Here, personal anecdotes combined with academic and scientific reports combine to sharpen some of the fascinating philosophical issues associated with cannabis use.

  • A frank, professionally informed and playful discussion of cannabis usage in relation to philosophical inquiry
  • Considers the meaning of a 'high', the morality of smoking marijuana for pleasure, the slippery slope to more dangerous drugs, and the human drive to alter our consciousness
  • Not only incorporates contributions from philosophers, psychologists, sociologists or legal, pharmacological, and medical experts, but also non-academics associated with the cultivation, distribution, and sale of cannabis
  • Brings together an international team of writers from the United States, Canada, UK, Finland, Switzerland, South Africa, and New Zealand

CANNABIS PHILOSOPHY FOR EVERYONE

A hazy student phase? A harmless way to relax? An effective form of pain relief? Or a dangerous and addictive narcotic? The debate on the status and legality of cannabis continues to rage on. Here, personal anecdotes, combined with academic and scientific reports, wrestle with some of the fascinating issues associated with cannabis use. In these pages, philosophers, psychologists, and medical experts (some of whom may even enjoy the occasional spliff) try to understand:

  • What exactly does it mean to get high?
  • Is it immoral to smoke marijuana for pleasure?
  • Is cannabis the start of the slippery road to other, more dangerous drugs?
  • Is altering our consciousness a basic human need?
  • What is the morality or immorality of cannabis prohibition laws?

Cannabis - Philosophy for Everyone offers frank, professionally informed, and often humorous discussions on the gourmandise and ethical, social, and political dimensions of this psychoactive and outlawed drug.
