Craft Weed: Family Farming and the Future of the Marijuana Industry is a 2018 MIT Press book by Ryan Stoa. In it, he argues for an American cannabis industry that looks more like the craft beer industry,[1] and less like "Big Marijuana" equivalent of Anheuser-Busch.[2] The author is an associate professor of law at Concordia University School of Law in Boise, Idaho.[3]
Reception[edit]
A review in The Times Literary Supplement said the book author's "expertise is undeniable" but "some of his deeper trawls through legislature slow an otherwise intriguing narrative".[4] Another review found merit in Stoa's advocacy for agricultural law reform around craft cannabis, to include an appellation system for cannabis parallel to that of the American Viticultural Areas (AVAs).[5]
