My Most-Wanted Marijuana Mom by David Michael McNelis Pdf

"You are about to enter a world of drug smuggling, drug greed, and drug murder." With those words, the West Palm Beach assistant DA began the 1986 murder trial of Judy "Haas" McNelis. The only woman on the U.S. Federal Marshal's 15 Most-Wanted List, she gained infamy as head of the "Haas Organization," a reputed $267 million per year marijuana empire. But before her jet-set lifestyle as a drug "queen-pin," Haas was simply a divorcee with two young children and a penchant for growing pot. David McNelis' candid memoir recounts his life with a brash, free-spirited mother determined to achieve success in the male-dominated world of international narcotics smuggling. A studious kid striving for normalcy, McNelis is thrust into an extraordinary adventure where dealers, smugglers, daredevil pilots, federal agents, hitmen, and even an accused KGB spy all become part of "normal" life.

Home Baked by Alia Volz Pdf

A blazingly funny, heartfelt memoir from the daughter of the larger-than-life woman who ran Sticky Fingers Brownies, an underground bakery that distributed thousands of marijuana brownies per month and helped provide medical marijuana to AIDS patients in San Francisco--for fans of Armistead Maupin and Patricia Lockwood During the '70s in San Francisco, Alia's mother ran the underground Sticky Fingers Brownies, delivering upwards of 10,000 illegal marijuana edibles per month throughout the circus-like atmosphere of a city in the throes of major change. She exchanged psychic readings with Alia's future father, and thereafter had a partner in business and life. Decades before cannabusiness went mainstream, when marijuana was as illicit as heroin, they ingeniously hid themselves in plain sight, parading through town--and through the scenes and upheavals of the day, from Gay Liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple--in bright and elaborate outfits, the goods wrapped in hand-designed packaging and tucked into Alia's stroller. But the stars were not aligned forever and, after leaving the city and a shoulda-seen-it-coming divorce, Alia and her mom returned to San Francisco in the mid-80s, this time using Sticky Fingers' distribution channels to provide medical marijuana to friends and former customers now suffering the depredations of AIDS. Exhilarating, laugh-out-loud funny, and heartbreaking,Home Bakedcelebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family, taking us through love, loss, and finding home.

Smokescreen by Kevin A. Sabet Pdf

From the leading authority on marijuana—a man who has served as White House advisor on drugs to three different administrations and who NBC News once called “the prodigy of drug politics"—comes the remarkable and shocking exposé about how 21st century pot, today’s new and highly potent form of the drug, is on the rise, spreading rapidly across America by an industry intent on putting rising profits over public health. Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn't Want You to Know examines the inside story behind the headlines, containing accounts from 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. Included are interviews with industry insiders who reveal the hidden dangers of a product they had once worshipped. Also contained in these pages are insights from a major underground-market dealer who admits that legalization is hastening the growth of the illicit drug trade. And more to the heart of the issue are 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. The author of this compelling first-person narrative leading the national fight against the legalization of cannabis through his nonprofit, Smart Approaches to Marijuana (aka SAM) is Kevin Sabet. As a policy advisor to everyone from county health commissioners to Pope Francis, and a frequent public speaker on television, radio and through other media outlets, his analysis is consistently relied upon by those who recognize what’s at stake as marijuana lobbyists downplay the risks of massive commercialization. A book several years in the making, filled with vivid characters and informed by hundreds of interviews and scores of confidential documents, Sabet's Smokescreen lays bare the unvarnished truth about marijuana in America.

Sue and Lou never had any fears or doubts about raising their three children. They were not like their parents. They welcomed the teenage years. They knew their kids might experiment with drugs and alcohol, just like they had. So they talked with their kids about their own experiences they had as teenagers. As a family they were very close. They took their kids camping to Glamis, the desert, the beach and the Colorado River. They went to Big Bear every winter and they golfed almost every weekend as a family. By the time their youngest was in high school, their oldest was already 24 and their middle child was 19. Their youngest would always tell them not to worry, that he would never be like his older brother and sister. Young Adam had witnessed all the trying times his parents had with his two older siblings; alcohol, drugs, house parties, and pre-marital sex. Adam's friends always came over to the house and Sue and Lou knew them all. They were all good kids. But when Adam told his mom he had smoked marijuana, it was not like when the older siblings had experimented with it. Sue and Lou would quickly discover he was using it to escape from the hurt and pain he felt after his first love broke up with him. But what Sue and Lou didn't know was that their worst nightmare was growing in their youngest son. Without having a true understanding of addiction, this family will go through a hell they could have never imagined. In order to keep from having a breakdown Sue started writing about how this all started. It all began with a story Adam wrote in his Freshman English class titled “The Day I told my Mom I Smoke Pot”.

Complicated Lives by Vera Lopez Pdf

Complicated Lives focuses on the lives of sixty-five drug-using girls in the juvenile justice system (living in group homes, a residential treatment center, and a youth correctional facility) who grew up in families characterized by parental drug use, violence, and child maltreatment. Vera Lopez situates girls’ relationships with parents who fail to live up to idealized parenting norms and examines how these relationships change over time, and ultimately contribute to the girls’ future drug use and involvement in the justice system. While Lopez’s subjects express concerns and doubt in their chances for success, Lopez provides an optimistic prescription for reform and improvement of the lives of these young women and presents a number of suggestions ranging from enhanced cultural competency training for all juvenile justice professionals to developing stronger collaborations between youth and adult serving systems and agencies.

Be Still and Know by Stuart H. Schwartz Pdf

Are you ready to live your best life? To harness the loving power of God's Spirit, regardless of the physical and emotional circumstances you face? No matter how high the mountain you have to climb, let the empowering mystery of one of the most transformative psalms in the Bible provide hope in seemingly hopeless situations. Praying Psalm 46 provides support and wisdom for meeting the challenges of the stinkin' stuff of this world. It is the path to an extraordinarily powerful personal relationship with the Spirit, as told by Sharon, an ordinary woman facing the last stage of a terminal illness. Power and discernment begins with "Be still and know that I am God." This wife and mother used the last six weeks of life to show the path opened by the sustaining power of God's word, and the wonder of a personal relationship with the Spirit. Spiritual strength and wisdom makes even the most daunting of challenges surmountable. In the beyond-natural stillness flowing from the psalm, the mystery and application of all of the Bible are unlocked.

Keep It Real by Kaishau Carr Pdf

Keep It Real is a novel about the true events of Lexus and Malik. It is the tell all saga, the deep things Malik did not tell you. There are similar events in this book to Malik's version but it goes a little deeper and into more detail; for instance, Malik did not tell you what type of man he is with his women, the abuse, and the forbidden secrets he hid about his sexuality, and the cold hearted nature he has towards his children, the compulsive lies, and the deceit, and how he really has a condescending hate towards women. It all started out in a small town in the East Coast. I grew up in a small suburban area and was not exposed to too much of the outside world. My curiosity took me into the negative life style that I experienced when I walked in my own path at an early age before I was ready to even experience life. That was a long horrible path of secrets, deceit, abuse and human behaviors that I have never imagined. Some never find there way back but thanks to the Most High , I did not stray too far away and all was not lost. Today I encourage women and others in abusive, and difficult relationships and situations that they are not alone and there is help, and you don't have to stay in these nonproductive situations. You have to see it for what it is and elevate your mind and the rest will follow.
