Hemp: An Incredible Story by Matteo Gracis takes readers on a compelling journey through the misunderstood and often controversial history of hemp. This thought-provoking book intertwines two stories — one of personal awakening and another of cultural rediscovery.

As a young man fascinated by hemp’s mystique, Gracis begins a lifelong exploration into why a plant once vital to agriculture, medicine, and industry became criminalised. Through his journey from curious youth to founder of Dolce Vita, Italy’s leading magazine on hemp culture and alternative lifestyles, he unravels the contradictions and politics behind hemp’s prohibition.

This book explores:

• The ancient relationship between humanity and hemp
• The origins of global prohibition and misinformation
• Hemp’s essential roles in medicine, industry, and sustainability
• A new cultural movement toward re-acceptance

Gracis writes with passion and insight, blending history, journalism, and personal reflection to reveal hemp’s remarkable resilience and potential to reshape our world.
