Dave Ford has spent much of the last 60 years amassing evidence about marijuana and the federal government's heartless and relentless war against it. In Marijuana: Not Guilty As Charged he took apart the government's case against cannabis, piece by preposterous piece. In Good Medicine, Great Sex! he tells his own fascinating story, of how marijuana primed his creativity in a variety of enterprises, how it relieved the pain of loss and illness, how it enhanced an already exciting and rewarding life.
He also tells the stories of other cannabis users: of battered spouses finding that their mates stopped beating them when they switched from alcohol to pot, of artists finding that grass expands their creativity, of lovers finding that it enhances their pleasure and sense of intimacy, of ordinary people finding hangover-free relaxation at the end of a hard day's work.
He also tells us darker stories, of harmless people branded felons for the rest of their lives, of homes and life savings ripped away, of children torn from their parents' arms, of loving couples divorced, of careers ended or aborted before they've begun, of lives wasted, lives lost.
Good Medicine, Great Sex! is Dave's life story... but he tells it for Ralph Seely, who died in needless anguish, for Dennis Hunter, who faces a long prison sentence for the crime of compassion, for Robin Pratt, who was shot to death by a SWAT team in a raid that was based on drug-related allegations that turned out to be baseless - and he tells it for Carl Sagan, and Bing Crosby, and many other productive people, famous and ordinary, who have used pot happily all their adult lives, yet fear to admit it - and, finally, for you, and anyone else who wants to know: Why has this war gone on for so long, and how we can bring about peace?

This courageous book by a cancer survivor, and former broadcaster with CBS television in Hawaii, has convinced me that the government is lying about this herb. The author makes the medical value clear, and with excellent reference notes. Now I believe that no one should go to prison for having
cannabis in their possession. You will learn why the government and big business keep this virtually harmless plant illegal. Everyone should read this book who wants to know the true reason why this plant is kept illegal!
I loved this book. Dave Ford definitely knows how to grab people's attention. The title alone will probably attract many readers, but word-of-mouth and positive buzz will really launch "Good Medicine, Great Sex!" I think it will go on to even greater popularity than his previous work, "Marijuana: Not Guilty As Charged" (which I thoroughly enjoyed). Mr. Ford has always been way ahead of his time. Young people throughout the world share his opinions on the medical benefits of cannabis and its harmlessness for social use. I certainly will never think about it the same way! The U.S. government has conditioned us to think of marijuana as a narcotic as deadly and dangerous as heroine and cocaine. It should look to Europe for guidance. In The Netherlands, government-grown marijuana may be purchased in pharmacies for maladies ranging from glaucoma to cancer to AIDS-related illnesses. Britain, Belgium and Luxembourg are in the process of passing similar laws. I hope the U.S. will one day follow suit.
Mr. Ford's books have finally allowed me to think about cannabis objectively. Anyone who still believes the myth that marijuana is a narcotic with no medical value must read "Good Medicine, Great Sex!"!
