While I won’t attest to agreeing with every argument this book presents (some questionable interpretations of feminism in there, though I’m not above admitting my own defensiveness about the subject has skewed how I perceive critique of it), the arguments presented were a fascinating look at the morally charged and totally off base criminalization of sex and drugs in America. This book detailed the history of the human relationship with sex and drugs from ancient times until now and how that history morphed into our current interpretation of taboo subjects, pointing out over and over the hypocrisy and repetitive nature of the lies and propaganda pushed on American culture.

Especially interesting if you are a supporter of legalized SW and ending the War on Drugs.

TLDR; Time is a flat circle, everyone is a hypocrite, America’s war on drugs is racist AF (obviously), legalize everything
