Green Medicine by Keith Lemon

Green Medicineby Keith LemonA black DEA van turns into a suburban driveway at dusk. Children are riding bikes on the pavement; a neighbour sees what is coming and hurries inside. Agents take the front door with a battering ram.Inside, Dr. Lemon is at his desk with a medical book and a joint. Within minutes he is on the floor, then in a cell at Denmark State, being told by Warden Bishoff that he is now "a real life Revolutionist" — and being hit in the stomach for asking what his crime was.Written as a screenplay, Green Medicine plays out in scenes and dialogue, following a doctor who believed in a medicine the law had not caught up with, and what happens to a professional man when the state decides he is a criminal.A short, propulsive read for anyone interested in the collision between medicine, drug policy and incarceration.eBook (EPUB) · ISBN 9781622490653
