Hemp: An Incredible Story
A plant that has been accompanying mankind in its history for thousands of years (i.e. forever), but that for about a century has become the object of attention of all the police forces of the world.
A boy who encounters this plant and its products, when they are shrouded in that illicit aura that attracts and repels, but that does not always make one think. Two stories that intertwine, because while the boy grows and with him his awareness, curiosity also develops as to why those prohibitions, why that plant is banned from agriculture, industry, pharmacopoeia, sectors in which it had resided for centuries. So the author, in parallel with his path that led him first to found a website with the aim of stimulating discussion towards policies of liberalization of the plant, and then to create and direct Dolce Vita, an Italian magazine on hemp culture and “alternative lifestyles”, tells us the tormented story of the most controversial plant in the history of our civilization, looking for new questions and obtaining some significant answers.
Two truly incredible stories: that of Matteo, who from his university desks, abandoned in a hurry, has become an entrepreneur in the field of communication; and that of Hemp which, with extreme effort but equal strength, is re-emerging from the limbo of illegality in many parts of the world…A “green revolution” that has a solid cultural background, well beyond the so-called recreational use, narrated in an exemplary manner by one of its protagonists.
