Durante siglos, la humanidad ha conocido y utilizado una misma planta bajo múltiples nombres, usos y significados. Sin embargo, en algún momento de la historia, uno de esos nombres cambió radicalmente la percepción que el mundo tenía de ella.Aldo García propone una investigación histórica y documental que desmonta una de las confusiones más extendidas sobre la planta Cannabis sativa L.: la supuesta diferencia esencial entre «cáñamo» y «marihuana». A través de fuentes clásicas, textos científicos, documentos médicos y registros históricos que se remontan desde la antigua Grecia y China hasta la era moderna, demuestra que «cáñamo» fue durante milenios el nombre universal de la planta, independientemente de sus usos textiles, medicinales o psicoactivos.Con una mirada crítica y rigurosa, García nos invita a cuestionar las narrativas establecidas y a redescubrir la historia real de una de las plantas más importantes de la civilización humana.Cáñamo: el verdadero nombre de la marihuana es una investigación sobre cómo las palabras pueden cambiar la historia de una planta… y la forma en que la sociedad la comprende.
