About this title

Synopsis

Shares interviews with California marijuana growers and those opposed to marijuana, in which they discuss their lifestyles, the region, violence among growers, and the prospect of legalization

Reviews

Northern California's marijuana-growing population has received ample publicity in the last few years. Steve Chapple's Outlaws in Babylon ( LJ 8/84) was a very personal and favorable view of this subculture; Raphael's book is an attempt to look at pros and cons both. It consists of lengthy interviews with growers, lifelong area residents, law enforcers, and other people with special knowledge of the situation. The author gives some economic and social history of the region, thus furnishing a context for the rest of the book. The best thing about the book is its balance. Raphael lets people explain their own points of view, and the people he chooses are almost all sympathetic; therefore, most readers should finish this book with more insight into the problem.
