Unpolitically Correct: The Politics And Economics Of Governance invites readers to explore the cultural history and policy debates around cannabis in India.

Across India, the author travels from the Himalayan hamlet famed for its Malana Cream to the tropical landscapes of Kerala, profiling native cannabis strains that thrive in the wilderness alongside staple crops. The book weaves together stories of farmers, devotees, doctors, and policymakers to examine addiction, the shadowy realms of gangsters and suppliers, and the emerging therapeutic uses found in hospitals and clinics throughout the country.

Written with warmth, humor, and rigorous research, Unpolitically Correct offers both an entertaining journey and a thoughtful examination of governance and economics in a context that many find misunderstood.
