Big Weed: An Entrepreneur's High-Stakes Adventures in the Budding Legal Marijuana Business by Christian Hageseth, Joseph D'Agnese
4.0
I received this book from St. Martin's Press for an honest review. The official release date is April 21st 2015
My toking days are long behind me, but I have always been a huge supporter of not only medicinal marijuana legalization, but also on a recreational level as well. When Colorado voters cleared the path for recreational use in 2014, it was a landmark moment in our country's history - a moment that millions longed to see. Christian Hageseth was at the forefront of this waging battle, running his marijuana dispensary Green Man and BIG WEED is the story of how all of this came to be and the hurdles that still need to be leapt over to legalize weed in the entire country.
Chris is a businessman that lead a couple of different businesses to success before losing it all on his last venture which in turn, lead him to jump bong first into the medical marijuana business in 2009 to partake in what has came to be known as a Ganjapreneur.
He describes in great detail all of the obstacles, hardships, failures, successes and joys along the way. His Green Man business started in 2009 as a two person team; himself and a grower, and in 2015 has grown into a multi-million dollar company with several employees and two Cannabis Cup awards under their belt: the highest honor in the industry!
If you're like me and interested in what is happening out there in the mountains of Colorado and the changes that are underway throughout America where ol' Mary Jane is concerned, this is a great book to read! Chris isn't blind to the fact that there are MANY things that still need to happen for this plant to become the next nationwide industry boom, but the footwork is being laid, the foundations are being set and in BIG WEED, he explains exactly and plainly what has been done and what still needs to be done. This was a very educating read and I give it 4/5
