- 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.
