Cover of The Rise of Cannabis and the Decline in Civilization by Mitch Rubman

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Great reviews are in for The Rise of Cannabis and the Decline in Civilization.

A very unique look at cannabis culture and amusing to read, it explores cannabis from the raw places people gather while using it and shares stories from New York, Los Angeles, and beyond.

One reader comments: “I was very curious about cannabis because the approach is entirely new to anything I’ve read on this topic. It felt real and also explains how the cannabis industry operates, even touching on stocks and crypto.”

Another review adds: “A very enjoyable read for sure. It shows cannabis and its world as a whole, giving readers a clear picture of the community and how it changes society.”

And another: “This is not a political discourse, but rather a lively travelogue compiled from years of notebook entries. I laughed at the great stories and the eccentric locals.”
