PEACE News & Views Ep89 with guesy Steven Kravetz

Siir Steveo & Kim Cooper chat with author Steven Karavetz about his book, A Marijuana Man- A Dealers Diary

Steven Kravetz describes himself as a storyteller. He says "all my life it never occurred to me to write them down, until 1994 when one of my stories won first place at the State Fair of Texas Tall Tale contest." This book started as an idea in the back of his mind in 1983, but "too much real life got in the way" and Steven couldn't find the time to put pencil to paper. It was a promise to his mate of almost 30 years that finally got the story told. As she pointed out," this is our past and now you can make our future, so get off your ass and finish it." With that Steven did it, he finally found the time.
"The mythical story of Max Gold begins in the early sixties against the background of various progressive political movements, Civil Rights, Equal Rights, the war in Viet Nam and the growing movement that spread nationwide on college campuses, the Brotherhood of Smoke, cannabis smoke that is. And Max was at the proverbial right place at the right time, with enough chutzpah and entrepreneurial ambition to become a Marijuana Man. The young student realizes the economic potential of the magic green weed. First selling two-dollar joints then 5-dollar match boxes, then the ounce, and the lid was to be his bread and butter. Until fate moved him to the big time of tonnage. Along the way he juggles having a legitimate business and a personal life. .Max must struggle with deep moral issues as his journey forces him to face betrayal, arrest, and even death. Fnd yourself a comfortable place to sit or lay, light up if you’re a mind to and journey back in time when gas was cheap, love free, and the of best rock and roll that was ever born. This is Max's story but maybe a little bit yours."
