Mills is even-handed in raising questions about the motives and methods of witnesses on all sides of the argument. - London Review of Books
Mills's conclusions are salutary in the current cannabis debate. - London Review of Books
An excellent account of the changing perceptions of a substance that has once again become the focus of attention ... a judicious mix of serious analysis and interesting anecdotes that shed light on the ongoing colourful career of cannabis - Zaheer Baber, Times Literary Supplement
