"description": "Engelstalig handboek over de zin en onzin van cannabis. Een geestverruimende reis\nwaarin alle aspecten van een van \u2019s werelds oudste cultuurgewassen aan de orde komen\nin een voor meerdere prijzen genomineerde uitgave.\nThe Devil\u2019s Lettuce is a free-format handbook that takes you on a mind-expanding trip\nthrough the life and times of cannabis. Allowing you to release yourself from misconceptions\nand fake news about a widely misunderstood plant, medicine, textile fibre and religious\nsacrament.\nCannabis is one of the world\u2019s oldest cultivated crops. It has powered much modern\ndevelopment, brought healing and recreation, and been used heavily as a religious and\nspiritual aid.\nThe history of cannabis has, for the most part, been mellow and calm. In more modern\ntimes that history has been troubled and agitated, when exploration, trade, war and politics\nbecame involved. In the last 100 years, cannabis experienced its most turbulent times, with\nits public perception, penalties for its production and applications, and fevered debates\nabout its legality around the world.\nToday, as society is re-examining the overlooked medical uses of cannabis, and is coming\ndown from a highly-charged discourse about criminalisation, and embracing legalisation,\nit is important that we properly understand what cannabis is, as well as its past, so we can\nembrace a better, fairer and safer future for a cannabis-infused world.\nThe Devil and his Lettuce, was nominated for multiple awards; the Melkweg Award\nannounced annually in Dutch Design Week, recognises \u201ca truly unique talent among DAE\u2019s\nBachelor graduates\u201d and a project that is \u201cboth highly original and full of potential,\u201d as\nwell as the Kick That Ass award from Maarten Bass, presented \u201cto a graduate of Design\nAcademy Eindhoven who has used the graduation year to make an authentic work -\nregardless of advice or assignments - within self-set frameworks\u201d.",
