Eden reveals his inspired opening—to lead readers through the science of getting high through the point of view of cannabinoid receptors, a decision inspired after reading David Grann’s Killers of the Flower Moon. He details expanding from a magazine article to a highly literary, narrative non-fiction book after conducting more than 200 in-person interviews. Eden discusses world-building through history, culture, and vernacular, maintaining objectivity and his meticulous outlining and use of storyboards to map out the story. If you’ve ever been curious how to work with massive chronologies and infiltrate a world unknown to you, Scott Eden will not only inspire you but leave you in awe, eager to read this masterpiece in investigative journalism. Listen, learn and marvel at the haunting spirit of cannabis.\n"}
