The High Society : What Happened When the Country Finally Went to Pot

By Mort Gerberg

Book Overview

From the new introduction: One of the prevalent characteristics of the turbulent, society-changing 1960s was marijuana. It was seemingly ubiquitous, though usually covert because it was illegal - which only made it more attractive as a contemporary "subject," on the lips of many, so to speak - and therefore perfect material for humor. My (cartooning) interest in marijuana heightened in 1972 when a magazine story speculated that legalization was imminent. I considered drawing another cartoon spread, but my "what-if" ideas kept spreading, and resulted in this satire, which, when I reread it last year, looked like a rough draft for the legalization movement that's now growing nationwide.
