What They're Saying

Critics Review

“In an industry crowded with wannabes and one-dimensional thinkers, Weed Empire is an in-depth look at how Adam simply outperformed other leaders, mastering investments, operations, and cannabis itself. His influence on legalization and the industry’s evolution remains unmatched.”
—Rob Kampia, Founder and former Executive Director, Marijuana Policy Project

Weed Empire is a riveting narrative about the wild rise and dramatic fall of one of the cannabis industry’s most remarkable companies. Adam Bierman delivers an edge-of-your-seat narrative that reads like a high-stakes thriller, propelling you through every twist and turn as you wonder what could possibly happen next.”
—Shawn Gold, Founder, Pilgrim Soul Creative

“A must-read for all visionaries, entrepreneurs, and rule breakers. Adam Bierman isn’t just a brilliant innovator but a superb storyteller. The journey he takes you on is as audacious as it is entertaining, and this book will leave you inspired to build, break rules, and create change.”
—Dan Murray-Serter, Host, Secret Leaders podcast, and Cofounder, Heights

“I love Adam’s why and the way he tells his story. He speaks the truth and now that I know the whole journey, I admire even more everything he’s created and achieved.”
—Joe Grande, Broadcaster and Radio Personality


“When I took on the campaign for medical cannabis in New York, I knew the challenge was as much about reshaping public perception as it was about changing policy … a battle that would require fearless, bold leaders. When I met Adam Bierman, I knew he was one of them: instinctively bold, brash, maybe a little crazy, but exactly the type of gladiator this movement needed. Weed Empire captures the pivotal moves in this fight.”
—Diane Savino, former New York State Senator
