Overview

The Quiet Blossom is a nonfiction story about the subculture that formed around the medical marijuana industry in Northern California. It documents a unique time and place in American history that is actively impacting society today. The book is a personal narrative that tells the story of one young man's experiences over nearly a decade in the rapidly changing Cannabis industry. Embedded within the story, lies a cultural exploration of a budding young culture with its own set of ideas and values. Through unusual events and unusual characters, the story paints a picture of the lifestyle and the conflicts generated by the black market industry.

This is an important document about the influence that the events in Northern California and Southern Oregon are having on American society, politics, and future generations, and indeed the rest of the world. It is a lighthearted narrative built with amusing anecdotes of a life around marijuana, but intertwined with the human experiences, a more serious vein discuses social protest and a changing paradigm. There is far more happening in the remote valleys of the California wilderness than just a few renegades hoping for easy money. Away from the eyes of the parent society, hundreds of thousands of disenchanted youth have gathered to explore a different lifestyle and to generate the foundation for an alternative existence. As the debate over the legality of marijuana continues to inspire passion around the world, The Quiet Blossom takes a deeper look at the protest inherent to the cannabis industry.
