BACK COVER COPY: Curt Stocker began smoking pot in October 1966, more than a year before he went to Vietnam. In this memoir, he shares a true account of his service fighting for America. Considering all the pot he smoked, he understands why some people may find it amazing that he's able to remember that time. Ironically, the DuPont Corp. became one of the main proponents of antimarijuana legislation because it sought to stamp out the hemp industry. The company's motivation was the immense profit it would reap by switching everybody over from hemp rope and canvas sails to DuPont's newly invented synthetics such as nylon rope and rayon fabrics. The bald-faced lies its executives invented about hemp were totally off the charts. Vietnam exposed many young Americans to marijuana who otherwise would have never found it. Because of this, the author believes that the war may be the single most important factor in today's looming marijuana legalization. Unfortunately, there are still people want to continue the War on Drugs and put people in jail on marijuana charges. It is time to end the federal marijuana prohibition.
