Super Short Summary

Reefer Madness by Eric Schlosser examines the underground economy of the United States through three pillars: the prohibition and criminalization of marijuana, the exploitation of undocumented immigrant labor in agriculture, and the history and economic impact of the pornography industry. Schlosser explores themes of criminal justice, drug culture, economic corruption, and labor exploitation, arguing for reforms and greater transparency within these sectors. This book discusses sensitive topics such as drug-related incarceration, immigrant labor abuse, and the porn industry.
