Rocky Mountain High: A Tale of Boom and Bust in the New Wild West

After decades as a long-haul trucker, Finn Murphy came off the road and settled down in Boulder County, Colorado. Before long he noticed that his neighbors were madly seeking fortunes in "the hemp space"-the booming business of turning hemp plants into CBD products. The government had just legalized it, and Colorado was at the center of the boom. So Murphy decided to join them. He bought a hemp farm and figured he'd ride the wave to easy money. What could go wrong? As it turns out, pretty much everything. . . .Rocky Mountain High is Murphy's comic chronicle of a wild year: hiring an unruly army of workers, building drying sheds the size of football fields, and trying to find buyers in the Wild West of the hemp market. Told with Murphy's wit, keen eye for character, and sharp insights into the hardscrabble society around him,Rocky Mountain High is a masterful tale of an entrepreneur's misadventures.
