Ed Rosenthal has always used his real name, it isn’t pseudonym that an anonymous author or advocate hides behind. This sort of open defiance is a good example of the steadfast and political nature exhibited by this cannabis royalty. Ed has managed to stay relevant through many waves, bumps, and turns in what is now referred to as the Cannabis Industry. He is an author of over 30 books, spanning four decades, detailing the cultivation of cannabis, cannabis history and also the emerging art of producing concentrates. Even the casual readers of cannabis magazines will remember his “Ask Ed” column in High Times Magazine throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Ed Rosenthal has been an important figure in the advancement of cannabis knowledge and legalization and at the age of 77, he shows no signs or interest of slowing down anytime soon. It was our pleasure in speaking with Ed Rosenthal and highlighting his well deserved place in Dope History.
