TAMING CANNABIS
Intoxicating Histories
Series Editors: Virginia Berridge (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), Erika Dyck (University of Saskatchewan), and Noelle Plack (Newman UniversityBirmingham)
Whether on the street, off the shelf, or over the pharmacy counter, interactions with drugs and alcohol are shaped by contested ideas about addiction, healing, pleasure, and vice and their social dimensions. Books in this series explore how people around the world have consumed, created, traded, and regulated psychoactive substances throughout history. The series connects research on legal and illegal drugs and alcohol with diverse areas of historical inquiry, including the histories of medicine, pharmacy, consumption, trade, law, social policy, and popular culture. Its reach is global and includes scholarship on all periods. Intoxicating Histories aims to link these different pasts as well as to inform the present by providing a firmer grasp on contemporary debates and policy issues. We welcome books, whether scholarly monographs or shorter texts for a broad audience focusing on a particular phenomenon or substance, that alter the state of knowledge.

Acknowledgments
Umberto Eco once argued that what we become depends on what our fathers teach us at odd moments, when they arent trying to teach us. While it pains me to admit, this book grew out of one such odd moment with my father. Sometime in my youth during a visit to Chuck E. Cheeses, my father, an avid reader of military histories, told me a factoid that meant little to me then. Without prompting and likely in response to my requests for more pizza or quarters, he told me that the famed French general, Napoleon Bonaparte, passed the first laws against marijuana in modern history in the early 1800s.
