Martin A. Lee traces the dramatic social history of marijuana from its origins to its emergence in the 1960s as a defining force in a culture war that has never ceased. Lee describes how the illicit marijuana subculture overcame government opposition and morphed into a dynamic, multibillion-dollar industry. In 1996, Lee, an award-winning investigative journalist, draws attention to underreported scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping the therapeutic landscape. By mining the plant's rich pharmacopoeia, medical researchers have developed promising treatments for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic pain, and many other conditions that are beyond the reach of conventional cures. Colorful, illuminating, and at times irreverent, this is a fascinating read for recreational users and patients, students and doctors, musicians and accountants, Baby Boomers and their kids, and anyone who has ever wondered about the secret life of this ubiquitous herb. Martin Lee is the author of three previous books, including Acid Dreams (with co-author Bruce Shlain) and The Beast Reawakens. He is the cofounder and director of Project CBD, an educational service that reports on developments in cannabis science and therapeutics. Martin Lee is also an investigative journalist whose articles have appeared in Rolling Stone, The Nation and other magazines, He is the winner of four Hopwood Awards. Advance Praise for Smoke Signals "Smoke Signals is an important, serious-minded look at the role cannabis has played in American history. It tackles the hard issues of marijuana prohibition with keen insight and righteous indignation. I agree with Lee's central premise that our marijuana laws are draconian. Every American should read this landmark book!" — Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at "A ripping read, thoroughly researched, Smoke Signals will help inform the current debate and hopefully hasten the demise of prohibition." — David Bronner, CEO, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps
Praise for Acid Dreams "Engaging throughout . . . at once entertaining and disturbing." — "An engrossing account of a period . . . when a tiny psychoactive molecule affected almost every aspect of Western life." — William S. Burroughs "A generalist's history that should replace all others." — "Recounts some of the most bizarre incidents in the history of U.S. intelligence." — The "An important historical synthesis of the spread and effects of a drug that served as a central metaphor for an era." — John Sayles MORE ABOUT == Martin A. Lee is an American author and activist who has written books and articles on far-right movements, terrorism, media issues, and drug politics. Lee has an undergraduate degree in philosophy from the He has been a guest teacher-in-residence at the Lee was a co-founder of the media watch group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), a group formed in 1986 to combat corporate and establishment media bias. He was the first full-time editor of FAIR's magazine Extra!, and later served as the publication's publisher. Lee's first book, Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD and the Sixties Rebellion (co-authored with Bruce Shlain), was published in 1985 by Grove Press. Covering LSD's use by both the counterculture of the 1960s and by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in mind control experiments, the book was called by the San Francisco Chronicle "a generalist's history that should replace all others." Lee's second book, Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media (co-authored with Norman Solomon), was both a distillation and expansion of his work with FAIR. Published in 1990 by Lyle Stuart, The Washington Post called the book "a worthy addition to the library of any student of American news media, social structure and political science." Lee's third book, The Beast Reawakens, an in-depth examination of the resurgence of fascism, was published by Little, Brown in 1997; a revised paperback edition was issued by Routledge in 2000. Calling it a "compelling, intelligent investigation which reads more like a thriller than a history lesson," Publishers Weekly said it "contributes much toward understanding the politics of hatred." The New York Times Book Review described it as "a vivid survey of fascist resurgence."
