Bio
Author Kevin Stewart is no stranger to the world of backcountry cannabis production. Through friends and acquaintances he collected dozens of tales and anecdotes describing the trials and tribulations faced by marijuana growers in the years prior to legalization. Some funny, some sad, some tragic – taken together these stories form a realistic view of Northern California’s marijuana underground.
A child of the Sixties, Kevin brings unique insight to the colorful and complex issue of cannabis production through his fictionalized storytelling. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and a menagerie of rescued animals.
