In a world built to silence both women and weed, Tokin' Female: Women, Weed, and the War on Prohibition shatters expectations. This isn't just a memoir; it's Sabrina Fendrick’s raw, unflinching journey from diplomat's daughter to unapologetic national organizer for America's oldest cannabis advocacy group, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Set against the escalating clash of state and federal marijuana laws in the pivotal late 2000s and early 2010s, this coming-of-age memoir offers a rare, insider's look into the legalization movement's most transformative decade to date. However, the fight wasn't just against prohibition. Tokin' Female lays bare a high-stakes, two-front war: the battle to legalize marijuana, and the relentless struggle against the entrenched sexism endemic to the very movement itself. With wit, vulnerability, and unflinching political clarity, the author recounts her sudden, meteoric rise to national leadership within a movement strangled by patriarchy, fueled by rebellion, and ultimately reshaped by grassroots power. Blending deeply personal storytelling with incisive political analysis, Tokin' Female doesn’t just chronicle history—it dismantles the myth of effortless progress. It asks what it truly means to lead: as a woman reclaiming her voice, as an activist demanding justice, and as someone who refuses to be defined by the world around her—choosing instead to define herself on her own terms. REVIEWS “Fendrick's place as a pioneer in cannabis is secure, and with this book [Tokin’ Female], more people will learn about her compelling, ground-breaking work.”- Steve Bloom, Former High Times editor and publisher of CelebStoner. “What Fendrick created from a cultural absence, with so few resources at her disposal, was remarkable. Tokin’ Female is a must-read for anyone who works in cannabis policy or who is interested in social movements and (gender) identity. It’s very much a coming-of-age story set in a wildly-changing American policy landscape. I highly recommend it.” - Keith Saunders, PhD, Sociologist and former member of the NORML Board of Directors. “ Tokin’ Female illuminates the power of grassroots organizing, the importance of female leadership in shaping social movements, and the unwavering determination required to dismantle deeply entrenched systems of oppression.” -Lulu Cohen, LCM Media for The Other Magazine.
