⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Arrived faster than expected and well packaged. The ideas are old but land with surprising force today. The symbolism is layered and generous to patient readers. Deserves a place on any esoteric bookshelf.
DeAngelo effectively shatters the recreational myth by framing cannabis as essential for holistic wellness, drawing on his extensive dispensary leadership. The text successfully weaves biological science with legal critique and spiritual insight to propose a transformative paradigm. However, readers looking for dry, purely statistical policy analysis may find the spiritual undertones distracting or insufficiently rigorous. Similarly, those who strictly separate medical utility from recreational enjoyment might struggle with the book’s unified approach to the plant’s healing potential. It is not for those resistant to the idea of cannabis as a sacred tool, but it offers a compelling, integrated view for open-minded seekers.
