Kait Gets Lit

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I love working in the publishing industry because it connects me to so many amazing publishing professionals and authors. One such place I greatly adore is Seal Press, a feminist publisher in California. After my profile of Erika Lust appeared on Bustle, I had the opportunity to interview another of their authors, Cheri Sicard. Cheri’s new book Mary Jane: The Marijuana Handbook for Women came out earlier this month. It’s a fun read that provides everything a novice could want to learn, from the laws surrounding cannabis, to baking with it, to the myriad pop culture references to it. When I interviewed her, the conversation took a very interesting and very political turn. Sicard is a passionate advocate and believes that marijuana prohibition is a civil liberties issue, specifically one that should be taken up by women.
