Crumb, appendix, bibliography. From Kirkus Reviews: "Stepanian's a hot shot California drug lawyer whose relentlessly hip prose doesn't interfere with a clear presentation of the law of search, seizure and arrest as it affects marijuana users. He starts from the premise that pot should not be a police problem, reiterating the old argument that lives and careers are being destroyed by disproportionate penalties for possession of the innocuous weed. He argues further that overzealous law enforcement not only violates Fourth Amendment proscriptions against unreasonable searches and seizures but our expectations of privacy. Unconstitutional drug raids can easily turn into illegal prying into other aspects of our lives. Stepanian's approach and style aren't calculated to win over anyone who isn't already convinced, so this has its chief value as a legal guide for pot smokers. In spite of occasional oversimplifications of the law, Stepanian makes conundrums like "probable cause" comprehensible to the altogether layman and provides practical advice about what to say to the policeman who stops the car or turns up on the doorstep -- sniffing."
