Mexico, 1519 CE.

During the Spanish conquests Cortés introduced hemp farming as part of his violent colonial campaign. In secret, locals began cultivating the plant for consumption. It eventually made its way to the United States through the immigrant labor force where it was shared with black laborers. It doesn't take long for American lawmakers to decry cannabis as the vice of inferior races.

Enter an era of propaganda designed to feed a moral panic about the dangers of a plant that had been used by humanity for thousands of years. Cannabis was given a schedule I classification, which it shared with drugs like heroin. This opened the door for a so-called "war on drugs" that disproportionately targeted young black men, leaving hundreds of thousands in prison, many for minor infractions. With its roots in reefer madness and misleading studies into the effects of cannabis, America's complicated and racialized relationship with marijuana continues to this day.

In Cannabis, Box Brown delves deep into this troubling history and offers a rich, entertaining, and thoroughly researched graphic essay on the legacy of cannabis legislation in America.

    Love the Polite Elephant
    Format: Hardcover
    As parents you want your babies to have the best of books and of Everything. Polite Elephant came recommended by Mayim Bialik's vlog on YouTube. I am not for one to buy everything that is mentioned by celebrities in their videos, but this one was really special as it inculcates good practice and habits. I'm hoping our baby loves this book, although he does throughly enjoy looking at the Elephant tip his hat and smile.

    Good manners are missing from so many children's books these days - the Polite Elephant is exactly what it purports to be. A cute story where an elephant practices politeness and manners. My toddler loves it!

    Teaching Manners
    Format: Hardcover
    I love this sweet book that teaches a child manners in a gentle way. Polite Elephant is always kind and respectful. I loved reading this book to my own child years ago and have purchased it many times for others. Plus who doesn’t love Richard Scarry books?
