“Buy Straw Hats in the Winter,”

March 31, 2016March 31, 2016

Bernard Baruch said, “because summer will surely come.”

“An absolutely stunning book. It will blow people away.” ―Elton John

“A drug policy reform book like no other. Many have studied, or conducted, the science surrounding the manifold ills of drug prohibition. But Hari puts it all into riveting story form, and humanizes it . . . lively, humorous, and poignant, it’s a compelling case for why the drug war must end, yesterday.” ―Norman Stamper, former Seattle police chief
