"As a child of the 80s and 90s, my memories of High Times magazine are primarily of close-up images of crystalline purple and green buds and endless, mundane discussions of strain crossing and preferred lightbulb arrangement. Little did I know at the time that the magazine was founded by a Forrest Gump-ian character who found himself involved in one way or another in nearly every major political and cultural event of the Hippie era. Frenemy of the Yippies, protégé of the White Panthers, alternative press magnate, provocateur, drug trafficker, and possible Fed, Thomas King Forçade’s life was one strange trip and this new biography is a blast." --Ian Hetzner, PT Librarian, Main
