Drugs, Sex and Dirty Politics: One man's battle for Legalization against a corrupt system - Paperback

by Dalton Daniels (Author)

After the housing crash of 2008, people were broke with very few opportunities available.

Except for one.

A decade earlier, California passed the Compassionate Care Act, allowing residents to grow and cultivate marijuana plants for medicinal purposes. Inspired by the election of Barack Obama, who stated that pursuing medical patients and growers would be a waste of government resources, this was seen as the green light to otherwise law-abiding citizens to get involved in the marijuana industry. Thousands of would-be entrepreneurs and pot enthusiasts flocked to California to stake their claim on this "growing" industry.

Author Dalton Daniels decided to risk it all. He sold his home and invested his life savings in a small dispensary in Los Angeles. Soon his store, The Rainforest Collective, became a huge success and the talk of the town.

But the storm was coming.

The LA district attorney and city attorney demanded that Daniels shut down his operation or face criminal prosecution. Believing he was in the right, Daniels decided to mobilize an army of dispensary owners and attorneys, along with patients, to fight for our American rights. This fight put Daniels in the national spotlight and up against the forces of evil in our government as well as the Mexican drug cartels, who both wanted legalized marijuana to go "up in smoke."

Set in the backdrop of LA's steamy social scene, Drugs, Sex, and Dirty Politics is one man's story on the path to legalization that we enjoy today.
