Celebration: Alia Volz Book Signing

We partner with Evergreen San Francisco to celebrate a true SF Holiday, 420, with Alia Volz author of Home Baked: My Mom, Marijuana, and the Stoning of San Francisco. Look for the iconic Doggie Diner heads. 

During the 70s in San Francisco, Volz' mother ran the underground Sticky Fingers Brownies, delivering upwards of 10,000 illegal marijuana edibles per month throughout the circus-like atmosphere of a city in the throes of major change. She exchanged psychic readings with Volz' future father, and thereafter had a partner in business and life.

 Alia Volz is a homegrown San Franciscan. Her writing appears in The Best American Essays 2017, the New York Times, Tin House, Threepenny Review, Utne Reader, New England Review and the recent anthologies Dig If You Will the Picture: Writers Reflect on Prince and Golden State 2017: Best New Writing from California. She was runner-up of The Moth’s GrandSLAM Championship in 2014 and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. 

Volz' book, Home Baked: My Mom, Marijuana, and the Stoning of San Francisco, may be purchased at the event or at Green Apple Books. 

Evergreen San Francisco is a partnership with the San Francisco Cannabis Retailers Alliance, San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District, Another Planet Entertainment, California Music and Culture Association and the Golden Gate Restaurant Association, and was cultivated by a desire to share San Francisco’s rich history in the cannabis industry with the world at large.
