How does a man become a skillful journalist, a wildly popular broadcaster, a spellbinding public speaker, and a canny entrepreneur? Into this busy professional life, how does he manage to fit thousands of hours as a pilot, a record-breaking dive for science, years of tireless political activism – and hundreds of romantic adventures with beautiful women? How does he manage to survive a tidal wave, an earthquake, an erupting volcano, fire, cancer, and the tragic death of his soul mate? Dave Ford tells the reader that he owes much of it to his use of marijuana for over 55 years. Ford uses documentary evidence gathered over a lifetime, and his own life and the experiences of other happy and successful pot users, to make his case that, far from killing initiative, desire, and drive, marijuana can stimulate ingenuity, passion, and dedication. Includes 79 photos and interactions with movie stars.

Ford has made an electronic copy of his book available online. It can also be purchased from Bookworld or Amazon.
