Indian hemp and its products, marihuana and hashish - variously known as pot, weed, reefer, boo, tea, mezzo, hash, or the 'grass' of the title - is a much discussed and - perhaps - a greatly maligned herb.This volume (revised and up-dated for Penguin Books) offers a wide range of writings about this ancient plant, its remarkable products, and its long and varied history.Among the authors represented are Rabelais, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Aldous Huxley, Gerard de Nerval, Allen Ginsberg, C. G. Jung, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, Alan Watts, Lewis Carroll, William James, Anthony Storr, William Burroughs, and Paul Bowles.
