A review by thebibliophage
Big Weed: An Entrepreneur's High-Stakes Adventures in the Budding Legal Marijuana Business by Joseph D'Agnese, Christian Hageseth

informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

3.0

This is a fast listen. It's very business-focused, especially on the travails of start-ups. It's also what I'd call a vanity project. Hageseth spends plenty of time telling readers how smart and innovative he is. On the other hand, he's quick to remind us that his last business fell victim to the housing crash of 2008. All of the ins and outs of business building are interesting.

But what fascinated me was the details Hageseth shares about the cannabis industry, including how it's grown, how the strains are developed, and what matters most to medicinal users.

Glad to say that the author's audiobook narration is also quite good, which surprised me. All in all, worth my time but not a book that interests everyone.
