Sinsemilla Bootlegger depicts the Grow Revolution of the 1980s in the Emerald Triangle, complete with federal agents, spooks, smugglers, and the new herbalists that risk it all to grow the very best bud in the world.
Paul Kalman was born in Oakland, CA in the late-fifties where he was raised by parents of Russian and Jewish descent. His parents were deeply involved in the movements for social justice, the union movement, civil rights and the peace movement, so he was taught from an early age to question authority and be an independent thinker. It was this free-thinking attitude that led him to drop out of his first year of college and take to the road with a rock band. At eighteen, he began transporting and providing sound for East Bay music groups playing in local nightclubs. The next 20 years were spent on the road and in the studio. An avid marijuana connoisseur of 40 years, Kalman's quest have led him into some of the most remote outdoor gorilla and clandestine indoor grows from their outlaw days to the high-tech present. Living in Oakland, the pot capital of the world, and working in the music business has given Kalman unique insights into the inner workings of the domestic marijuana trade. Sinsemilla Bootlegger reveals a "slice of life" of the intriguing history of indoor marijuana cultivation.
