Praise for this book

"Pot is hot and, as Nick Johnson points out, it has been in the West for more than 100 years. Grass Roots isn't the most colorful tale of cannabis connoisseurs, but Johnson's extensive research and immaculate blend of scholarly research and short character sketches overcome this singular shortcoming...Johnson has set out to give readers the first history of cannabis from an agricultural perspective."
