the Plant
An intense and exciting new novel from Dan L Dudgeon!
Gas prices are ballooning ridiculously, the environment is turning to shit, the
Middle East crisis is escalating to biblical proportions, prohibition has brought
the War on Drugs to a head, and it seems global nuclear destruction is nigh.
Yeah, so what else is new?
The plot of the Plant reads like a CNN ticker... Set in the not-too-distant future,
Dan L Dudgeon seamlessly pieces together history, current events, and conjecture,
making the plot that much more plausible.
Smith, the disillusioned anti-hero, is dragged back from the jungles of South America
by his cannabis activist buddy from days
gone by to help him lead a new revolution
with the power of his mighty pen. A sweet love story is dispersed throughout between
our protagonist and Annalisa, an ex-goth, gung-ho ingénue of the pro-hemp rag
The H.E.L.P. Chronicles. She's no Mamakind, but I saw much of myself in her
eager-beaver attitude. - - Mamakind, Senior Editor, Skunk Magazine

"I love your story. It makes me feel good about all the work we've done... Thanks for writing it!

"Guaranteed to blow your mind!!
And Guaranteed to dramatically alter how you view
the battle against Cannabis Prohibition!!" *
|
"It's like the movie "Grass" and George Orwell's "1984"
twisted together with some cool characters and a very
sobering view of what we can expect out of the next decade!" *
|
|
"This book is great. Although the subject is mainly hemp activism,
the story is so gripping, and so current with the world situation
today, that it could be about anything and be an enjoyable read." *
|
"(the Plant) has something for everyone - action, politics
conspiracy, history, war, comedy, and even romance.
It would only disappoint someone that DIDN'T read it." *

Do you think you have read everything
about the benefits of the Cannabis plant?
Do you think you know what the next ten years holds
for the World? What direction Terrorism may take?
What a Meltdown in the Global Economy
could bring for the United States?
Have you imagined the future course of America
with continued Prohibition against Industrial Hemp?
With unabated dependency on Middle East oil?
A future with life-altering Climate Shift looming on the
horizon, and the threat of World War hovering over us?
You will, once you read the Plant!
the Plant is a gripping tale of the near future, on a global scale,
and follows the story of two friends - Johnson, the businessman,
and Smith, the dreamer, both staunch supporters of Marijuana and
Hemp legalization - who had founded an activist magazine in the 1990s.
Smith became disillusioned with the seemingly unwinnable struggle,
and disappointed with American society and its resistance to change,
even when it means dramatic improvements to the economy and
environment. He moves to Venezuela where he believes he can
spend the rest of his life in peace and quiet, living off the land,
and forgetting about the failing push toward a better world.
Meanwhile, his friend, Johnson, continues to fight against
insurmountable odds, adding a small team of bright, ambitious
go-getters to his cause. With growing global terrorism and a
near-World War at hand, federal and public fears due to
the confusion between Marijuana and Industrial Hemp, and
increasing and deadly opposition to the battles for Marijuana
law reform, they truly have their work cut out for them.
Nearly two decades later, Smith returns from the depths of seclusion
to discover that the world is nothing like what he left behind.
What has happened is not only shocking, but, for him, life-altering.
From the author, Dan L Dudgeon:
"The story within the Plant spans over twenty years, and encompasses
the recent past, the present, and the possibilities for the future.
And although the cultivation of Industrial Hemp as a natural resource
is not my only desire for the future of America, and inevitably the
entire planet, I feel it is a very significant one.
The question posed by the book is: Can one plant bring about all the
positive results promised by the research of the past, and the present
struggles of so many Hemp supporters? The answer is of course my
own personal perspective. But it is a great surprise, and you will
have to read it to find out!"
