A Teenage Weed Bust Planted a Seed of Resistance ( feat. cartoonist Brian "Box" Brown)

Like many lifelong weed activists, Brian "Box" Brown’s radicalization began with a youthful arrest.

His form of resistance? Brian is an acclaimed comics artist, whose works include Cannabis: The Illegalization of Weed in America, a comprehensive, book-length graphic novel tracing the history of cannabis prohibition all the way back to the 19th Century. 

He currently publishes a weekly syndicated column called Legalization Nation that tracks the high and lows of the new legal industry. With a heavy focus on exposing how corporate cannabis is pushing around small farmers and legacy operators.
