Rise of Cannabis Called Authentic and Extraordinarily Human is now available online from Amazon for only $2.95 during this promotion.

Rise of Cannabis, a lively travelogue compiled from years of notebook entries, is just starting to appear as Gonzo journalism makes a comeback in mainstream journalism. The first reviews are in, and they’re good.

The story follows Gonzo from the beginning in Bayside, Queens, to the current time. Rubman captures the thrill of access along with the gray areas: street deals, underground rules, and the trafficking of happiness.

The story begins in New York and ends in Los Angeles. With trips and visits to Egypt, Lima, and Boston.

Mitch Rubman received a master’s in clinical psychology from Antioch University and a BA in Planetary and Space Sciences from Boston University. He currently has 9 titles on Amazon, 5 of which are American English series. The others are screenplays, Rock Stars in Space, The Maelstrom Whirlpool, Escape from Lima, and The Meter Maid.

The reviewer adds that the journey feels authentic, confusing, and extraordinarily human—an honest story. The Rise of Cannabis and the Decline in Civilization is available everywhere.
