I recently purchased the book you need.
|
|
|
|
_Marijuana Law_, by Richard Glen Boire. 1992, ISBN0-914171-62-3, 171 pp.,
|
|
with a foreword by Tony Serra (which is in itself a significant
|
|
reccomendation.)
|
|
|
|
I quote from that Foreword:
|
|
|
|
"I urge every marijuana smoker to turn [this book] into usable knowledge.
|
|
We must know the law to fight the law. We must fight fire with fire. We
|
|
must know the law to resist and defy injustice."
|
|
|
|
For those unfamiliar with his name, Tony Serra is a lawyer who has made
|
|
great strides in the defense of drug cases. The first statement in his
|
|
Foreword runs:
|
|
|
|
"We marijuana smokers in the U.S. are an oppressed category of citizens."
|
|
|
|
Earlier this year, he agreed to represent some friends of mine who had
|
|
been arrested after selling several hundred thousand doses of LSD to
|
|
undercover agents. When the San Francisco daily newspaper, _The
|
|
Chronicle_, interviewed him that week, he led off the interview by saying
|
|
that he felt that LSD and mushrooms were wonderful drugs, and he wished
|
|
he were on them right then.
|
|
|
|
I can't help feeling that we would be much better off if there were a
|
|
damn' sight more lawyers like Tony around.
