This book shows how focusing on joy and community can lead us to an equitable marijuana policy in which minority communities, most harmed by the war on drugs, play a leading role in the industry. Centering pleasure and fun as legitimate policy goals, \u003ci\u003eWeed Rules\u003c\/i\u003e puts forth specific policies to advocate for a more just, sensible, and joyous post-legalization society.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeed Rules\u003c\/i\u003e is a highly entertaining and user-friendly guide to the complex world of cannabis policy.

This book casts light on several key policy flaws that have often been baked into legalization bills around America and helped keep legal weed from blossoming as hoped. Wexler proposes and enthusiastically defends a set of clear, practical policy alternatives that could help state and federal legalization achieve their higher goals of reducing human suffering and increasing human joy.\"--Robin Goldstein, coauthor of \u003ci\u003eCan Legal Weed Win?: The Blunt Realities of Cannabis Economics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Wexler\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Law at Boston University, a former law clerk to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg at the United States Supreme Court, and author of six previous books, including \u003ci\u003eOur Non-Christian Nation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Odd Clauses\u003c\/i\u003e, and the novel \u003ci\u003eTuttle in the Balance\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 06, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50728082604338,"sku":"9780520409613","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/1608\/0946\/files\/RqxKlbQ7um9780520409613.webp?v=1765551335","url":"https:\/\/deskinlawfirm.com\/products\/weed-rules-blazing-the-way-to-a-just-and-joyful-marijuana-policy-paperback","provider":"DLF Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
