Higher Ground

Cannabis dependency tends to be underestimated — including by the people in its grip. Because the harm accumulates quietly, the decision to stop often comes without the dramatic catalyst of other addictions, and the process of quitting can feel oddly difficult to explain or justify. The writers in this collection do not feel the need to justify it.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the experience of cannabis dependency and the process of walking away from it: the point at which use shifted into something harder to control, the attempts to cut back, the anxiety and disrupted sleep that arrived when they stopped, and the ways they found to manage without something that had organized much of their daily life.

Who it's for

For those questioning their relationship with cannabis, those already trying to stop, and anyone who has felt their experience dismissed as not serious enough to warrant attention.
