Weed Rules

"Weed Rules is a highly entertaining and user-friendly guide to the complex world of cannabis policy. Jay Wexler combines compelling stories with data and legal analysis to make a persuasive case the way only a marijuana-law professor could. This book will change the cannabis debate."--Shaleen Title, former Commissioner, Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission, and founder, Parabola Center for Law and Policy "Weed Rules is an engaging, thoughtful, and accessible guide for anyone interested in reshaping marijuana policy."--Robert A. Mikos, author of Marijuana Law, Policy, and Authority "Wexler believes deeply in the potential of legal weed to improve the human condition--but he's also a keen realist about how legalization, if implemented wrong, can easily fail to achieve its central justice and welfare goals. 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 Can Legal Weed Win?: The Blunt Realities of Cannabis Economics
