Dennis Peron was San Francisco's biggest pot dealer. But when the AIDS epidemic swept through his community and personal life, Peron realized that marijuana is more than a good time—it’s medicine. In the wake of his lover’s death, Peron opened the Cannabis Buyers’ Club, a five-story dispensary complete with rainbow murals, drag shows, and doctors onsite. Law enforcement launched a multimillion dollar investigation into the club, but Peron had even larger aspirations, writing a landmark political initiative and leading the fight for change. Following the David and Goliath fight and life of Dennis Peron, JOIN THE CLUB uncovers the queer history of marijuana legalization in America.
