07.09: Too High to Fail: Cannabis and the New Green Economic Revolution

2013-06-20 02:35:24| Powells Books Events Calendar

Doug Fine, author of Farewell, My Subaru, offers an in-depth look at the legal cannabis industry and how the "new green economy" is shaping our country in Too High to Fail (Gotham). The nation's economy is in trouble, but one cash crop has the potential to turn it around: cannabis. ABC News reports that the underground cannabis industry produces $35.8 billion in annual revenues. But, thanks to Nixon and the War on Drugs, marijuana is still synonymous with heroin at the federal level, even though it has won mainstream acceptance. Too High to Fail is an objectively (if humorously) reported account of how one plant can change the shape of our country: culturally, politically, and economically. It is a wild ride that includes college tuitions paid with cash, cannabis-friendly sheriffs, and access to the world of the emerging legitimate, taxpaying "ganjapreneur."
