"One grain of hashish makes you a wise man, too much grain makes you a donkey," says a Persian proverb, and Helge Timmerberg can subscribe to that. After 50 years of regular use, he can neither glorify nor demonize cannabis.

Buchcover Helge Timmerberg: Joint Adventure. Eine Reise in die Welt des Cannabis
LOGO Literatur LIVE
Helge Timmerberg just describes quite honestly when a joint helps him and when it hurts him - and why that's no one's business but himself.
"I'm not going to let habitual drinkers ban me from smoking weed." The veteran of the war on marijuana prohibition has now toured the countries that have already legalized cannabis. In this book, he explains what everyone can expect when pragmatism triumphs over the raised finger in Germany for a change.
Helge Timmerberg, born in 1952, is one of the most innovative journalists and travel writers in Germany. In the 1980s he brought New Journalism from the USA to Germany and thus has a whole generation of pop authors on his conscience. »Tigers don't eat yogis« was his first bestseller, »The Red Olivetti«, »Streets of the Living« and »Lecko mio. Turning seventy” were his last ones to date.
"Joint Adventure", 256 pages, will be published on August 31, 2023 by Piper Verlag
