Series
Scope and Contents
This series consists of legal documents (testimonies, opinions, orders, and summaries) of several criminal cases involving prosecution of individuals for possession of marijuana. Called upon for his taxonomic expertise, Cronquist supplied information on the analysis and history of Cannabis taxonomy; he held that the genus consists of only one species, Cannabis sativa. There is also correspondence with Ernest Small, a Canadian colleague and expert on Cannabis taxonomy and its legal dimensions in American society.
