The Compassion Crew & Marijuana Mob vs. The Law is a coming of age toker tale of Jeremy “One Hit Kid” Wall and Tobin “Slight Stoner” Sanus. One Hit Kid is idealistic and naive while his chronically ill co-conspirator Slight Stoner chronicles and politics.

They’re influenced by aging hippie stoner activists The Greenies and The Darling Sisters, MS sufferer Debbie and her MILF old sister Denise.

Wall and Sanus organize smoke outs with The Marijuana Mob, open a hemp store to sell bongs, establish The Compassion Crew to help the sick get stoned and use burgeoning Internet technology to get the weedy word out.

Antagonist, back pained opiate pilling popping prosecutor Luigi Loathing inadvertently inspires Sanus and Wall to push the bonghitting boundaries when he busts The Greenies. Mike “Honey Oil” Hayes and Rev. Mike “Brother Doobie” Axel, who get extra harsh sentences, ignite our young pot smoking protagonists. They also encounter local political blow back from The Greenies founder Mike Head’s old lover turned politician June Calling.
