Weed Rules: Blazing the Way to a Just and Joyful Marijuana Policy is a 2023 book by Jay Wexler, published by University of California Press.
The book argues that states which have legalized cannabis should adopt a "careful exuberance" approach to regulating the drug rather than the "grudging tolerance" they typically use now. Wexler suggests that a commitment to equity and joy should guide cannabis policy.[1] One of the critiques outlined by the book of the "grudging tolerance" status quo as of its publication, is restrictions on cannabis advertising.[2]
Reception
[edit]A review in the journal The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs found the book to be an "interesting and engaging" introduction to cannabis policy reform.[3]
