In the early morning of
September 5, 2002, heavily armed Drug Enforcement Administration
agents descended on a marijuana garden that served as a
medicinal and spiritual refuge for the sick and dying. The
controversial raid on the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana
kicks off journalist Peter Hecht‘s new book
Weed Land: Inside America’s Marijuana Epicenter and How Pot Went
Legit, which chronicles a transformative time in American
marijuana policy.
Pulitzer Prize winner Dale Maharidge calls Weed Land “essential
reading for anyone who is a fan of California’s most lucrative
agricultural product.”
Tune in tonight for a live discussion of this exciting new book,
which examines the latest clinical studies on the medical benefits
of cannabis, the exploding marijuana marketplace, and the
consequences of a federal crackdown on America’s largest marijuana
economy. The interview will stream live from our Los Angeles studio
on Reason TV on Wednesday, June 11 at 7PT/10ET. The video will
be available below and on the Reason TV
YouTube channel.
