Alyson Martin and Nushin Rashidian (Get this book) How, where and why the United States lost the "War on Drugs." The authors frame the book squarely in the recent passage of Colorado's Amendment 66 and Washington state's Initiative 502, both of which legalized the drug for recreational use during the 2012 elections, and the narrative opens on those victory ceremonies. Not as much fun as Cheech and Chong, but a piercing work of sociological reportage.--Kirkus
