Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain High: A Tale of Boom and Bust in the New Wild West, by Finn Murphy This second book by the auther of Long Haul, which was about the long distance moving business, is about the culture of growing hemp in Colorado as it was legalized several years ago. The author is great at describing the details of the business and the pitfalls involved, the gold rush mentality around legalizing that sent things into the stratosphere. But also he is good at telling the bigger picture story of the history of hemp and the culture that develops around boom and bust economies.
