Authors Seth Matlins and Eve Epstein write, "Know why cannabis is the most widely used illicit substance in the world? Because it's awesome, that's why." They then go on to explore the neurological, historical, physiological, psychological, sexual, cultural, and political world of weed. It turns out, as every stoner and enthusiast has learned, that smoking, vaping, or eating marijuana cues a release of dopamine in your system that boosts your receptivity to pleasure, whether in the form of music, sex, or, as the authors say, "Cool Ranch Doritos."
