Weed Rules argues that it's time for states to abandon their grudging tolerance approach to legal weed and to embrace careful exuberance. In this thorough and witty book, law professor Jay Wexler invites policy makers to responsibly embrace the enormous benefits of cannabis, including the joy and euphoria it brings to those who use it.     The grudging tolerance approach has led to restrictions that are too strict in some caseslimiting how and where cannabis can be used, cultivated, marketed, and soldand far too loose in others, allowing employers and police to discriminate against users. 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, Weed Rule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Policy options for cannabis regulation are complicated in states where laws on medical or recreational use conflict with federal laws on the possession, transport, or sale of cannabis. Wexler develops a framework for evaluating different economic and legal policies according to how well they serve ten different values, including public health, revenue maximization, and equity. . . .
