“My prayer for you is that you find the boldness described in Ephesians 3:12: ‘In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.’ There will come a time in each of our lives when we will need to call on Jesus with boldness and confidence. We have to be ready, for we may only have an instant to avert tragedy. If you have the courage to ‘make it right’ your life will be blessed beyond calculation.”

The Pot Plan: Louie B. Stumblin and the War on Drugs by Thomas Brent Andrews / With a foreword by Harley Sorensen / ISBN 0-9767056-0-5 / 562 pages / $29.95-paperback / Buy it here
“The best part about this story is its simplicity: The drug war must be stopped,” says Thomas Brent Andrews in The Pot Plan: Louie B. Stumblin and the War on Drugs. Determined to tell his painful tale of addiction and journalism and share the surprising
solution to his personal “vicious cycle,” Andrews quit the newspaper business and started writing. Several years later, he has been threatened by the police, has suffered symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, has missed journalism like an old friend – and through it all has remained sober. This is his remarkable story.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE POT PLAN
“In addition to defeating the War on Drugs, Andrews wants to come clean with the world in “The Pot Plan,” and he does so with absolute honesty, incredible descriptions and colorful language. Anybody who’s been in a similar situation will pick this book up and sympathize and remember what it was like to live in those dark ages.” – Will Jordan, High Times, November 2005
“A bold book.” – Radio newsman Dean Becker, Drug Truth Network
“He’s a very good writer. And he doesn’t spare himself at all.” – Dave Oliveria, The Spokesman-Review (from Huckleberries Online)
“Louie, I love the book. It’s a real page-turner and your descriptions are soooo gooooood!!!!!!” – Reader Connie C., Nashville, TN (via email)
“[The Pot Plan] rightfully rails against the abysmal failure we call the War on Drugs, while simultaneously describing one person’s unique solution to addiction and self-destruction.” – Michael Morrison, MichaelMorrison.com, June 2006
“I have your book in my office.” – Keith Stroup, Esq., founder of NORML (via email)
“The Pot Plan is a book of unrelenting passion. Brent Andrews poured his soul into it, completely absorbed, writing furiously, and coming up with several books in one.” – Harley Sorensen, in his foreword to The Pot Plan

READ READ READ the Andrews! If you have ever been/are/or know of a alcoholic/drug addict the “Pot Plan” is for you. This book is riveting. If you have read “A Piece of Cake” this is every bit as good. I was holding my breath through both biographical lives to see if either or them would make it out alive.
I have just started reading From “Humble Beginnings” that Franklin Andrews wrote/composed. Whereas Brent’s book is gut wrenching, his father writes with a pure honesty and sweetness of his life and observation of life in poems. A book of poetry is not the first book I would ever pick, but I opened this one and I read and read and read. Both books are well worth your time.
