This a true story. The time line from 1965 to its ending as 2022 begins. It documents the experience of a young warrior growing old as a different kind of combatant and his adventure from Boston to the Caribbean, Rhode Island, Vietnam, Hawaii, California, the Indian Ocean, Ohio, Virginia, and Florida.
For Country and Cannabis is a love story; a glimpse into the rigors of a navy career; and a look at a legal, social, and financial war waged over an herb. This is a five-decade-long history that teaches the reader of government lies, malfeasance, and injustice to groups of US citizens and individuals who wanted the option of using therapeutic cannabis as part of their treatment protocols.
Almost all of the folks in the book are real and dead. This is a bit of what they did and how. For Country and Cannabis ensures that what remains only now with me, and a small shrinking cabal of advocates, is shared with you. Most of this is as true as I can recall these decades later.
