I’m super excited to release my second book, "Cannabis vs. Marijuana: Language, Landscape and Context," and I'm grateful to the almost 100 professionals who are quoted in it. Without them, I could not have completed such a project.
The book examines the influence of language on societal perceptions, explores the historical and cultural complexities of cannabis terminology, reassures readers about the facts, and dispels myths, leaving them inspired to take part in the ongoing dialogue.
Here’s what industry professionals are saying about it:
”A trailblazing work at a crucial juncture. This book sparks the essential dialogue needed to reshape our language, challenge stereotypes, and build a more inclusive and informed future for cannabis."
― Dale Sky Jones, Executive Chancellor of Oaksterdam University
“Years of misinformation about cannabis is reflected in the colorful but misleading “dope” vocabulary. Shedding the War on Drugs requires new and positive terminology. Paleschuck’s work demonstrates how you can make the transition with ease.”
― Jorge Cervantes, Author, The Cannabis Encyclopedia
"In the world of cannabis semantics, the battle between 'Adult-Use' and 'Recreational' rages on, a clash of connotations that mirrors the complexity of the plant itself. 'Adult-Use' speaks to autonomy, a choice made from a place of maturity and agency. In contrast, 'Recreational' might inadvertently belittle the profound experiences and wellness pursuits that cannabis can inspire. As we weigh these words, let's remember that language not only labels but also shapes attitudes. It's vital to have books like 'Cannabis vs Marijuana' and authors like David Paleschuck to help untangle these thorny issues and illuminate the path toward a more nuanced conversation."
― Jordan Isenstadt, SVP, Marino. PR
"At last, 'Cannabis vs. Marijuana' tackles the linguistic divide that has long hindered the cannabis industry. This book is essential reading for everyone in the field as it lights the path to a more informed, inclusive, and scientifically grounded discourse. To normalize this remarkable plant, we must speak a language understood not only by industry insiders and consumers but also by researchers, scientists, and politicians."
― Christian Gray, Partner, Atlas Consulting Inc.
"Cannabis vs Marijuana: Language, Landscape and Context" isn't just a book—it's a catalyst for change in the ongoing conversation about cannabis.
