Thembisa Waetjen | Cannabis Smoking in Colonial Geographies
Paper delivered at Intoxicating Spaces: Global and Comparative Perspectives (19–21 July 2021), an international conference organised by the HERA-funded research project Intoxicating Spaces: The Impact of New Intoxicants on Urban Spaces in Europe, 1600–1850. The event offered new perspectives on the relationship between intoxicants and spaces – social, material, and conceptual – since the sixteenth century, and on an international scale. It explored the spatial dimensions and dynamics of production, traffic, and consumption; how transplantations and flows of intoxicants can help us understand the nature of the global; and how international comparisons can illuminate practices and experiences within local, regional, national, and continental contexts.
