Just Dope: A Leading Attorney's Personal Journey Inside the War on Drugs

By now, most everyone is familiar with the United States' "war on drugs," a multi-year attempt to criminalize drug possession and use, painting drugs a public enemy #1. Just Dope takes a look at the war on drugs from the perspective of Allison Margolin, the daughter of one of California's most infamous cannabis attorneys, and herself an attorney, drug user and activist. The book examines the history of drug use and prohibition in the US, the juxtaposition of "good" and "bad" drugs, and how these policies effect people.
