This summer, I’m working on crafting policy for the State of Colorado to support the industrial hemp supply chain. I also grew up in Boulder County, so Murphy’s story was close to home in several ways. I am more familiar with hemp fiber than CBD production, so it was interesting to learn about the CBD market during its boom and bust. As informative as it was, I was partially reading the book for work and the author sometimes came off as arrogant, so it’s not a 5 star review for me overall. That said, I still thought it was a great overview of the hemp industry and the narrative was compelling.

I LOVED Finn Murphy's last book, The Long Haul so, I was eager to pick this up and read it. Rocky Mountain High is the perfect book for everyone living in a state that has legalized. We all know someone who works in the industry and we've all heard the stories. It's got the perfect blend of master story-telling with some very funny moments (I laughed out LOUD at one point).

Another Tattered Cover purchase that I read while visiting Colorado! I was highly entertained and informed by this fast-paced and funny account of the author’s attempt at entering the Hemp Space when hemp was newly legalized in the state. I guess when you have almost unlimited funds, a story like this can be an interesting experience rather than a life-destroying calamity?
