This was recorded at the New International Bookshop at Trades Hall in Melbourne on 18 October 2012.\n \nDr Jiggens also describes the previous titles in his 'Trilogy' Marijuana Australiana and The Killer Cop and the Murder of Donald McKay. Throughout his talk, John carefully contrasts the two very separate histories of hemp and marijuana and raises some compelling yet contentious ideas around the erroneous classifications of cannabis sativa (hemp) and cannabis indica (marijuana).\n \nIf you're in Australia and want to join the fight for drug law reform, then why not join the HEMP party and Help End Marijuana Prohibition!?
