If Grass Makes You Lazy and Stupid,
How Did Dave Ford Get Rich and Smart?


How does a kid get expelled from his high school – and then elected student body president? 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?

If you ask Dave Ford, he’ll tell you he owes much of it to pot. Yes, marijuana. Cannabis. The “killer weed” that the government insists turns people into potheads – unproductive drones. The author has interacted with thousands of respected men and women who use cannabis for creativity, medicine, fun, and sexual enhancement, with no hangover or negative effects. Dave strips away the lies of the scaremongers and tells the world how this relatively harmless herb has also brought him health, creativity, passion, and prosperity.
Dave shares with you the hard evidence he has gathered over a lifetime that, far from being a curse, cannabis is nothing less than a miracle plant. The government’s message is: “Don’t confuse us with the facts; we’ve made up our mind.” If you agree with them, don’t read Good Medicine, Great Sex! to be convinced. Read what is predicted to be a national best seller to find out...

Why I wrote this book:

We have some 75,000, mostly young people in prison. Most of whom were honest, hard-working, tax paying American's. Not one non-violent person in possession of cannabis should ever have been incarcerated. Many who have been given years in prison, have lost their wives. Lost their car. Their homes. Their life savings for attorney fees and fines. Incarcerated mother's have lost their children. When released, both the men and women they are felons. They can't vote. Jobs are hard to impossible to find. The federal government corruption and outright lies that put them in prison must stop.

Reviews

Adults will find David R. Ford’s Good Medicine, Great Sex! as engrossing as youngsters find the Harry Potter books. Dave’s fascinating life confirms my own discovery: if you think you need Viagra, you haven’t tried cannabis!


- Keith Stroup, founder and executive director of NORML
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws




Good Medicine, Great Sex! not only pursues the author’s eloquent struggle against the politically motivated and totally unjust war on marijuana, it also delves deeply and honestly into his own life.
Ford’s life as a creative entrepreneur, intrepid broadcaster, enthusiastic lover, devoted husband, loving father, courageous cancer survivor, and fearless activist demonstrates that the case against marijuana is nonsense, that cannabis eases pain, enhances joy, and furthers success.

- William Chapin, Pulitzer Prize nominee
