DESCRIPTION:Litquake is proud to host the San Francisco launch of Bruce Barcott's 
 newest work, Weed the People. \n\n"Will the rest of the country follow 
 suit? To judge by Barcott's useful book, you'd do well not to bet against 
 it." -Kirkus Reviews\n\nWashington and Colorado have established the 
 world's first legal and state-regulated marijuana industries and, in doing 
 so, have carried out one of the most remarkable about-faces in American 
 history. Weed the People, the new book from TIME Books/Time Home 
 Entertainment, Inc., traces the history and legalization of marijuana in 
 the United States and investigates the question, "Have the past 75 years of 
 marijuana prohibition been wholly unnecessary, or are we deluding ourselves 
 about the harm we're about to unleash?"\n\nAuthor, journalist and cannabis 
 industry expert Bruce Barcott, a Guggenheim Fellow in nonfiction, 
 chronicles how marijuana is changing from a demonized drug to a medicine 
 and mild intoxicant. In 2012, Barcott reluctantly voted for legalization in 
 his home state of Washington; the next morning he wondered, "What have we 
 done?" Weed the People answers that question with an insightful and often 
 funny dive into the booming pot industry and a look at the legal, social, 
 cultural, and personal changes brought about by the changing status of the 
 world's most controversial plant.\n\nDaniel Duane is the author of seven 
 books, including the surf memoir Caught Inside, A Surfer's Year on the 
 California Coast. His journalism, appearing in Men's Journal, The New York 
 Times Magazine, Food & Wine, Bon Appetit, GQ, Esquire, Outside, and many 
 other publications, has won a National Magazine Award and been nominated 
 for a James Beard Award. He lives in San Francisco with his wife, the 
 writer Elizabeth Weil, and his two daughters.\n\nBook sales and signing to 
 follow.\n\n$5–15 suggested donation\n
