Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know examines the inside story behind the headlines, containing accounts from Dr. Sabet’s time in the Obama administration to stunning revelations from whistleblowers speaking out for the first time. What it finds is how the marijuana industry is running rampant without proper oversight, leaving Americans’ health seriously at risk.
Smokescreen features interviews with industry insiders who reveal the hidden dangers of a product they had once worshipped, insights from a major underground-market dealer who admits that legalization is hastening the growth of the illicit drug trade, and the tragic stories of those who have suffered and died as a result of marijuana use, and in many cases, as a result of its mischaracterization. Readers will learn how power brokers worked behind the scenes to market marijuana as a miracle plant in order to help it gain widespread acceptance and to set the stage for the lucrative expansion of recreational pot.
A book several years in the making, filled with vivid characters and informed by hundreds of interviews and scores of confidential documents, Dr. Sabet’s Smokescreen lays bare the unvarnished truth about marijuana in America.
