In the report book 'Du gröna nya världen' (You Green New World), author Johan Wicklén delves into the workings of legal cannabis use in California, providing an insightful perspective on the subject. The book is rich in knowledge and offers interesting insights into the cannabis culture, legislation, and its societal impacts in California, a state that has been at the forefront of cannabis legalization in the United States.

However, the reviewer Isabelle Ståhl points out a significant shortcoming in Wicklén's narrative: the lack of a conventional trip report. A trip report typically gives personal accounts of users' experiences with cannabis, which could add valuable personal context to the discussion. Ståhl argues that including these accounts would enhance the reader's understanding of the effects and experiences surrounding cannabis use.

The absence of such narratives raises questions about how comprehensive the book is in portraying the varied experiences of cannabis users. While the book serves its purpose as an informative guide about the legal landscape and cultural aspects of cannabis in California, it might not resonate with readers looking for a more personal exploration of the topic. The review suggests that future explorations of cannabis use might benefit from weaving in personal experiences alongside informative content.
