Check out this children’s story, called “It’s Just a Plant.” I think it addresses marijuana prohibition pretty well, despite (as someone elsewhere pointed out) a bit of racial profiling that I’d rather not see there.
For the history of marijuana prohibition, here’s a good historical account. The rest of the FAQ is a pretty interesting read, too. Disclaimer at the top of the FAQ notwithstanding, I know that it has been translated into several languages, and I do not know of any document more detailed. If you do, by all means let me know; I’d love to read it.
Edit: Oh, heh. Read also what people are saying about the book, as well as the author’s response to a Congressional attack of “It’s Just a Plant.”
