JUST SAY YES may be the first marijuana memoir ever published: a look at a life through a cannabis lens. As someone who has smoked weed almost every day for 50 years, author Catherine Hiller has produced an entertaining and positive narrative about long-term cannabis use: "Weed is the spine of this memoir, as drink is the center of so many others." Hiller describes climbing filthy tenement stairs in NYC to get her bi-monthly supply, giving advice about grass to an octogenarian couple, going to the Burning Man festival, filming Paul Bowles, smoking pot in the Caribbean, interviewing John Updike about marijuana, and being among the film crew at Woodstock. With ruthless honesty, she observes weed's effect upon every aspect of her life: marriage, motherhood, friendship, work and sex.
