#1,024 The Hidden War (Book & Reality) with John Nores

from The Ranch Podcast · host Matt Todd

John Nores is a retired Fish and Game warden in California, author of Hidden War, and is a national advocate and educator around illegal marijuana grow operations and our nation’s wild lands. There was a potential ballot initiative in Idaho that would have legalized some degree of marijuana in the state, and John very kindly drove from Montana to discuss the issues he saw destroy California’s environment, water ways, and communities over his multi-decade career as a result of illegal operations that only intensified once marijuana was legalized.
