<span style="font-weight: bold;">Marijuana, Inc.</span><br>
<span style="font-style: italic;">Inside America's Pot
Industry</span><br>
Premieres Thursday, January 22nd on <a
href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/28281668/" target="_blank">CNBC</a><br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">ABOUT THE SHOW</span><br>
Host Trish Regan focuses primarily on Northern California, what she
calls "ground zero for marijuana."<br>
<br>
Trish Regan interviews medical cultivators, tours Oaksterdam, surveys "Mexican grows" in the mountains
and, in the most impressive segment, profiles former smuggler Bruce
Perlowin.<br>
<br>
Bruce Perlowin imported more then 100 tons of Colombian Gold
into San Francisco via fishing boats in the late '70s and early 80s.
"We saw ourselves as modern-day swashbucklers," Perlowin explains. He
made millions of dollar before getting nabbed by the FBI and spending
nine years in jail.<br>
<br>
In the NoCal segments, Mendocino is characterized as the "wild wild
West," where more than 60% of the county's economy is marijuana-based.
Regan allows for plenty of voices here, from hardened growers to weary
cops to one family that decides to move way after a grow house next
door burns down.<br>
<br>
During a copter ride over Lake County, Regan asks the pilot if they're
winning the war on marijuana. "No, we're not winning," he says blunty.
"The people that are winning are the people up here who are sustaining
a marijuana culture and that's basically what we have."<br>
