Pressestimmen
"Rudy Gerber's not the first judge to speak out against the drug war, and he won't be the last, but he makes a very special contribution with this fine book: a critical review of the nation's disastrous marijuana prohibition policy, informed both by twenty years on the bench and the distinctive role of Arizona in the drug policy reform politics of the past decade."-Ethan Nadelman, Executive Director Drug Policy Alliance
Kurzbeschreibung
This book is a frontal assault on the federal government's almost century-long campaign against marijuana in all its forms--cultivation, growing, selling, and recreational and medicinal use. Beginning with the anti-pot campaign of the first unofficial drug czar, Harry Anslinger, in the 1930s and continuing wiht only minor differences in emphasis through the recent Reagan, Clinton, and two Bush administrations, federal efforts to stamp out every form of marijuana use involve ignoring the independent reports of numerous federal commissions; supporting provably false claims about marijuana's effects; acquiescing to conservative law enforcement and religious groups' condemnatory agendas; generating a climate of fear in the electorate in order to cultivate messianic images for politicians; and ultimately governing in a way that does a disservice to all involved.

Don't Let The Title Turn You Away
26. Juli 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a superb look at the history and politics of cannabis laws in the U.S. Judge Gerber does a truly excellent job explaining that today's problems stem from illogical steps taken in the 1930s. He's got a real flair for telling stories, so it's a good read.
IT IS NOT A CALL TO SELL MARIJUANA AT THE GROCERY STORE! The book explains that keeping cannabis prohibited costs us all dearly. The money, time, law enforcement resources, judicial expenses, loss of civil rights, and prohibition-induced disrespect for the law is too much to pay just to claim that we're keeping 2/3 of Americans from trying marijuana. It's a reasoned and compelling argument for first legalizing medical cannabis (as 70% of Americans are willing to do!) and then considering the removal of criminal penalties for personal possession. If those steps do not create troubles, we can all evaluate if legalization seems worth it. What could be more reasonable?

Great Condition
4. Januar 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
Could not find a used copy cheaper so I had to buy this copy but I didn't save that much more. Book is in great condition but there is a crease on the front which I don't find acceptable for a NEW copy to have.
