Dear Friend, In an email to you last week, I briefly mentioned that a new coalition was being formed by billionaire Charles Koch to push for marijuana legalization in Washington. While this was but a brief mention, it should be incredibly alarming for those of us who truly care about promoting the facts on the harms of marijuana use and substance use overall. You see, Charles Koch is no stranger to sowing discord in the political arena. The Koch Brothers are known best for their political activity in spending millions of dollars to attack credible science, establishing doubt and confusion amongst the general public. But what may have flown under the radar is the fact that the Koch Brothers helped Big Tobacco attack science and try to convince the White House to abstain from filing a federal lawsuit against the tobacco industry. Two Koch-funded organizations, the Mercatus Center and Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) were documented by Phillip Morris as key allies for Big Tobacco in its effort to avoid being held accountable for the conspiracy to undermine research showing tobacco use to be harmful to public health. Flash forward to today, and this same network that has done the bidding of Big Tobacco in order to roll back commonsense regulations and help the industry avoid accountability is now working on behalf of Big Pot. We must fight back. Friend, exposing developments such as this are the reason I get out of bed each day. This is the reason I spent the last year speaking with industry whistleblowers and those who have experienced the harms of substance use in order to publish my new book, Smokescreen: What the Marijuana Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know. Big Pot is firmly following the playbook written by Big Tobacco and the first step is to ensure the general public remains in the dark to the reality of the situation. This is why it is imperative you read Smokescreen and share it with your family and friends. Smokescreen provides the greatest tool in your arsenal for pushing back on the marijuana and tobacco industry. It unveils the harms and underhanded tactics of the industry and provides you with some of the most recent data we have on the consequences of marijuana commercialization. We are less than a week out from the release of Smokescreen. Please take a second to pre-order your copy today and be among the first to read the book that Big Pot desperately wants to keep hidden and learn the truth that it wants to keep swept under the rug.
