Reefer Madness   (book)

Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market
Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market

Reefer Madness really makes you think. And not just about marijuana. That the black market has grown even as much as the most modest estimates assume is staggering. Black markets emerge on such a large scale when the laws or taxes they avoid are disregarded or considered unnecessary on a similar scale. "Let the punishment fit the crime." I agree wholeheartedly. Something is definitely wrong when someone can serve more time in prison for selling weed than for killing another human being. The two other topics covered, black market labor and pornography, are also very interesting.
