"A brisk and informative introduction to the case for decriminalizing drugs... [Busby] builds a convincing case that the current system is not working. Enriched by vibrant photographs and plenty of statistical and anecdotal evidence, this is an invigorating argument for rethinking humankind's relationship with mind-altering substances.-- ""Publishers Weekly"" A graphic-rich book whose title thesis is asked and answered in a cogent narrative... Tinged with plenty of nuance.-- ""Kirkus Reviews"""
