Pothead : My Life As a Marijuana Addict in the Age of Legal Weed by Neal Pollack

Neil Pollack, a journalist, novelist, family man, and Jeopardy champion is hired to do his “dream job” as a marijuana journalist in 2015, at the dawn of the age of legal weed. He proceeds to smoke, vape, and eat his way to oblivion, leading to terrible public meltdowns and other embarrassing behavior. After his mother dies, he spirals out of control, finally hitting bottom during a reckless two day gambling and drug-filled binge ending in a public crack-up at the 2017 World Series in Dodger Stadium. Three weeks later, he quit. Neil chronicles his recovery and a weed-free way of life going forward.
