Roger Roffman first discovered marijuana while serving as a U.S. Army officer in Vietnam. From these seemingly innocuous beginnings, Roffman has been fascinated by marijuana as a researcher, scholar, therapist, activist, and user. From lobbying in Washington, to talking to doctors and nurses in oncology wards, to watching his brother struggle with addiction, Roffman has experienced firsthand the layered and complex relationship Americans have with marijuana. As public attitudes about pot undergo rapid change, Roffman's Marijuana Nation (Pegasus) rises above punditry and rhetoric.
