Congratulations to my client, Sabrina Fendrick, for publishing her book, "Tokin' Female," and getting great reviews!

"Tokin’ Female" is a raw, unfiltered memoir that pulls back the curtain on the nation’s oldest pot lobby, and the movement during one of the most transformative times in modern cannabis law reform history. Step with Sabrina as she goes from D.C.’s political trenches to California’s booming cannabis markets—witness the sacrifices, triumphs, and resilience of the NORML women who ignited a revolution inside the ma*****na movement.
