This course introduces students to the complex history of cannabis and aims to complicate common misconceptions about this “weed” / “medicine” / “menace.” The course traces the history of the criminalization of marijuana, as well as the move towards marijuana legalization for both medicinal and adult-use in the state of Colorado, the United States, and beyond.
