POT LUCK: CULTURE, FOOD AND THE MARIJUANA EFFECT
Abstract
marijuana as a psychoactive substance that engages with food
and the act of eating in very complex and discursive ways. This
study conducts numerous interviews that demonstrate that.
frequently, marijuana is not the countercultural drug it is
commonly supposed to be if analysed in its relations to food habits and the act of consumption. It also brings to light the
surprising ways in which marijuana affects attitudes towards
certain kinds of foods. thereby open up a space for a kind of
psycho geographical tourism within the self.
