Former Hawaii CBS TV affiliate news man David R. Ford is recognized as the Father of the Movement to Legalize
Marijuana. Ford has invested much of his life educating the public that cannabis is not a dangerous drug and has proven medical value. Although now classified as a Schedule I drug, the same as heroin, Ford says the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has it all wrong and California voters may be able to make it right. This guest offers to pay the DEA one million dollars if the government can prove that marijuana has no medical value.
If it cannot, the federal government must agree to release all prisoners presently serving time for nonviolent marijuanarelated offenses and to cease arresting and charging others with such offenses. Ford debunks the pot myths when he reveals how:
• Patients successfully use marijuana to treat a variety of illnesses such as AIDS, glaucoma, MS, migraines and many other debilitating diseases.
• Some hard drug users were able to break their addiction with the help of marijuana.
• Marijuana could bring in up to $1 billion in state taxes in California.
• Marijuana brought him health (as a cancer survivor), creativity, increased sexual passion and prosperity.
• Marijuana should be reclassified to a Schedule III drug.
CREDENTIALS: Ford has interviewed dozens of nationally-recognized celebrities, and hundreds of medical and social users of cannabis. Ford is recognized nationally as an expert of marijuana. He is the author Marijuana: Not Guilty as Charged and Good Medicine, Great Sex! How Marijuana Brought Me Creativity, Passion, and Prosperity.
