Marijuana law, a complex and evolving field, is explored in Marijuana Law in a Nutshell (2d ed. 2022). This concise and comprehensive guide is organized into three main sections: federal law, state law, and the legal status of marijuana.
Federal law: The Nutshell provides an in-depth analysis of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA), which categorizes marijuana as a Schedule I drug. It delves into the implications of marijuana's placement on this list for law enforcement, hemp and CBD research, international law, and constitutional challenges to the CSA. The book also explores whether state laws are preempted by the CSA, a crucial issue in the legal landscape.
State law: The Nutshell offers a comprehensive overview of marijuana laws across the 50 states. It covers traditional criminalization, decriminalization, medical marijuana states, and recreational marijuana states. Where marijuana use is illegal, the book explains the criminal law of marijuana, including sentencing, asset forfeitures, search and seizure, and pretextual stops. Where legal, it delves into marijuana activity and banking, employment, impaired driving, professional responsibility for lawyers, taxation, bankruptcy, and parental custody issues.
Medical and public policy arguments: The Nutshell includes a history of marijuana law and presents medical and public policy arguments for and against legalization. It investigates marijuana's place in American culture and social life, in world law, and how it compares to other potentially harmful substances, both legal and illegal. The book also assesses marijuana reform bills and provides an Appendix charting medical, recreational, and CBD legality by federal and state jurisdiction.
In conclusion, Marijuana Law in a Nutshell is a thorough summation of the key statutes, cases, policies, and law of marijuana. It is an invaluable resource for lawyers, policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex and ever-changing landscape of marijuana law.
