Weed, Inc.: The Truth About THC, the Pot Lobby, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry

by Ben Cort Author

The author of this book has worked in the drug and alcohol addiction treatment field for over a decade as an administrator and consultant, and he is passionate about the intersection of substance abuse recovery and public policy. Most recently, he was a vocal participant in the movement against the legalization of marijuana. He fought against Colorado's Amendment 64, which legalized the use and sale of THC, and since the passage of that amendment he has devoted himself to demystifying the nefarious workings of the commercial marijuana industry, as he understands it. His book takes on the THC lobby and critiques the lack of federal oversight for the rapidly-growing marijuana economy, citing everything from the increasing percentage of THC in the average joint to pesticide use and energy consumption in marijuana cultivation. Check it out for an anti-legalization perspective on the complex and ongoing nationwide debates on legalized weed.
