Sinopsis de REEFER MADNESS: AND OTHER TALES FROM THE AMERICAN S UNDERGROUND
Eric Schlosser, the man who wiped the smile off the happy meal with Fast Food Nation, strips America bare … In this outrageous, irreverent, no-holds-barred odyssey into the US underworld, he looks beneath the country’s shiny, happy surface and uncovers what’s really made it so rich: porn, pot and illegal immigrants. Meet the cannabis crusaders who risk life imprisonment in a deranged government ‘war on drugs’ that punishes marijuana offences more harshly than murder. Take an uncensored look at the sex industry and its leading players, from feminist strippers to Reuben Sturman, the billionaire Walt Disney of porn. Enter the hidden world of the migrant workers who are ruthlessly exploited by big business fat cats. And discover how these dirty dealings, secret vices and underground economies are part of a global black market on which we all depend. Reefer Madness is a storming must-read for anyone who’s ever felt they’re not being told the whole story about where the real money is made, and a shockingly funny glimpse of a nation on the brink of insanity …
