In Marijuana Law, Richard explains marijuana laws and how they can impact upon citizens rights. He describes how people have been arrested and prosecuted and how to increase privacy protections and reduce exposure to arrest. OVER 30 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. REGULARLY SMOKE marijuana. Approximately 400,000 defendants each year are charged with the use, possession , sale , or cultivation of marijuana. Marijuana Law describes how people can reduce the probability of arrest and defend themselves from prosecution if arrested.
This book is very thorough. Especially worth mentioning is the eloquently worded preface, in which Boire likens the government's banning of marijuana to the government's banning of a particular book. (Reminds me of the Pakistan fiasco over Salman Rushdie's "The Satanic Verses" back in the late 1980's.) He then concludes, "My mind is my own." Wow! That gave me the chills.
A great guide book to the laws concerning marijuana

This book is completely necessary in today's world. Because propaganda and ignorance still prevail, any legalization of this God-sent drug probably won't happen in the near future. This book tells you what you need to know in order to privately use marijuana and...not get caught! It tells you the rights that you do and do not have concerning search and seizure, police conduct, drug tests, etc., etc. This is a must have!
A wonderfully written guide to the law!

This book was wonderfully written. It is divided into accessible chapters so you can read any chapter without missing the point. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the law, especially those who use drugs or would like to know their rights.
