A Marijuana Memoir
A non fiction book by

 
 
Just Say Yes, perhaps the first marijuana memoir ever published, is a positive account of long-term cannabis use. With ruthless honesty and deadpan humor, the author observes the effect of weed upon every aspect of her life: marriage, motherhood, friendship, work, sport, sex. As John Updike wrote about Hiller's short story collection, Skin, this is "good, brave and joyful writing."

"This funny, wry and very candid memoir purports to be a Confession of an American Pot-Smoker but is really a cultural/personal history of the past fifty years. The narrative progresses backward and not only the past, but innocence itself is recaptured."
- Phillip Lopate, Nonfiction Director, MFA Writing Program, Columbia University

"Likely to loosen up fellow smokers, while adding a personal take to the public discussion of cannabis." - Kirkus Reviews

"Brilliant, important, and beautifully written." - Betsy Prioleau, author of Seductress and Swoon
