Summary:
"The cannabis industry exploded in Colorado in January of 2014. A few months later, Jackson Tilley stumbled his way through his college graduation and into an internship at O.penVAPE, a Denver-based vaporizer company. Neither the company nor Jackson himself could have predicted what was to come over the next few years. Billion-Dollar Dimebag is Tilley's firsthand account of the twenty-first century wild west--the new frontier of American industry. He traces the path of the booming company along with the cannabis sector itself, pulling back the curtain on a drug once demonized, but now welcomed as a bastion of progress. Along the way, he'll get sober, move to a hurricane zone, quit, un-quit, invent new ways to market an ancient product, and get a dog named Bobby Kennedy (not necessarily in that order)." -- Provided by publisher.
