A revolutionary new book by Christopher Glenn Fichtner, M.D., a psychiatrist and former state mental health director, reframing the marijuana* debate in a new conversation on the public policy task of cannabis management.

"I read lots and lots of books about marijuana policy--it's part of my job--and I have to say that Cannabinomics is one of the most gratifying I've seen in a long time ... fresh and exceedingly well thought out ... if I had to choose a single title dealing with marijuana policy to give someone new to the conversation, I'd have to go with Cannabinomics."
