Deals with the interesting adventure of a unique secret in Anatolia, which is a scourge for some and opens the doors to other worlds for others. Gezer talks about the fight of cannabis with wine, the cause of "watery" drunkenness, who do not want to be dethroned in the face of the "dry" drunkenness it creates, and its becoming an invariable part of the rituals in the hands of dervishes who desire to reach God directly. A detailed, sophisticated and entertaining account of how it turned into a poison that is hostile to reason in the streets, an indispensable literary motif in the hands of poets and literati, an income in the eyes of opportunists, and the many efforts of the administration to prevent it, by intruding among people from all walks of life, while doctors are medicine in their hands. Cannabis, whose name today often evokes moral and illegal connotations, differs from the dangerous artificial pleasures created in test tubes of the last few centuries by its unique history woven with legends. Its hard-to-limit history is littered with numerous contradictory roles varying from hand to hand. Even today, with the wonders he has created [marijuana], in some he is a source of inspiration for the courage of the coward, the joy of the sorrowful, the lust of the impotent, and the inspiration of the unimaginative; in some the resistance of the misfits, the consolation of the vagabonds, the spiritual musclesin some the courage of the coward, the joy of the sorrowful, the lust of the impotent, the inspiration of the unimaginative; in some the resistance of the misfits, the consolation of the vagabonds, the spiritual musclesin some the courage of the coward, the joy of the sorrowful, the lust of the impotent, the inspiration of the unimaginative; in some the resistance of the misfits, the consolation of the vagabonds, the spiritual muscles the ecstasy of the weak; some are downright trouble
