Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. OG Kush. Sour Diesel. Wax, shatter, and vapes. Marijuana has come a long way since its seedy days in the back parking lots of our culture. So has Howard S. Becker, the eminent sociologist, jazz musician, expert on deviant culture, and founding NORML board member. When he published Becoming a Marihuana User more than sixty years ago, hardly anyone paid attentionbecause few people smoked pot. Decades of Cheech and Chong films, Grateful Dead shows, and Cannabis Cups later, and its clearmarijuana isnt just an established commodity, its an entire culture. And thats just the thingBecker totally called it: pot has everything to do with culture. Its not a blight on culture, but a culture itselfin fact, youll see in this book the first use of the term users, rather than abusers or addicts. Come along on this short little studynow a famous timestamp in weed studiesand you will be astonished at how relevant it is to us today. Becker doesnt judge, but neither does he holler for legalization, tell you how to grow it in a hollowed-out dresser, or anything else like that for which there are plenty of other books you can buy. Instead, he looks at marijuana with a clear sociological lensas a substance that some people enjoy, and that some others have decided none of us should. From there he asks: so how do people decide to get high, and what kind of experience do they have as a result of being part of the marijuana world? What he discovers will bother some, especially those who proselytize the irrefutably stunning effects of the latest strain: chemistry isnt everythingthe important thing about pot is how we interact with it. We learn to be high. We learn to like it. And from there, we teach others, passing the pipe in a circle that begins to resemble a bona fide community, defined by shared norms, values, and definitions just like any other community. All throughout this book, youll see the intimate moments when this transformation takes place. Youll see people doing it for the first time and those with considerable experience. Youll see the early signs of the truths that have come to define the marijuana experience: that you probably wont get high at first, that you have to hold the hit in, and that there are other people here who are going to smoke that, too. Among Howard Becker s favorite quotes is one he coined management is a one-word oxymoron and another uttered by Ambrose Bierce I think I think, therefore I think I am. His distrust of authority and convention is already apparent from the first, and his belief that things (or facts ) don t carry their meaning on their faces, but are relative to an observer and the observer s community, comes through in the second. His reputation as a maverick was firmly established more than 60 years ago when he published, in The American Journal of Sociology, Becoming a Marihuana User. He gets fan mail about this piece even now, six decades later (e.g., from a British manager of a criminal justice/drug rehab center, who insists that his volunteers and new employees read the article, even though a good few years have past and patterns of drug use have greatly changed, [but] this chapter like the vast majority of your work remains relevant and highly useful ). Smoking marijuana, still against the law in most places, is therefore deviant, and instead of asking why do they break universally accepted rules, for Becker marijuana is simply a substance whose use someone has outlawed. The question of how a choice is made to use it thus becomes a focus of study. And so, smoking marijuana is an experience one learns to enjoy: The taste for such experience is a socially acquired one, not different in kind from acquired tastes f Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
