  Outlaw Patients is a raw, darkly funny, and fiercely honest memoir about trying to survive in a system that wasn’t built to help. Medical marijuana patient and longtime activist Russell Barth takes listeners inside the chaotic, painful, often absurd world of Canadian cannabis policy — and the strange place where medicine, bureaucracy, and rebellion overlap. 
  Living with severe chronic pain, epilepsy in the family, and a medical system that seemed determined to say “no,” Russell and his wife Christine found themselves pushed into becoming accidental outlaws. Their fight for legal access, basic dignity, and the right to treat illness without fear became a years-long battle with doctors, regulators, cops, politicians, and the judgement of the public. 
  Told with razor-sharp wit, emotional precision, and an unshakeable refusal to sugarcoat anything, Outlaw Patients exposes the hypocrisy of a “compassionate” system that forces sick people to become legal experts, advocates, and sometimes fugitives just to get through the week. 
  This is a memoir about pain, love, stubbornness, activism, and the incredible cost of trying to stay alive in a world that keeps moving the goalposts. At turns heartbreaking, infuriating, and laugh-out-loud strange, it’s a story for anyone who’s ever been dismissed, underestimated, or pushed too far — and decided to push back.

  A NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICESixty years after the publication of his first novel, Cat Man, Edward Hogland is publishing his twenty-fifth book at the age of eighty-three. This capstone novel, set in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, introduces Press, a stockbroker going blind. Press has lost his job and his wife and is trying to figure out his next move, holed up in his Vermont cabin surrounded by a hippy commune, drug runners, farmers-gone-bust, blood-thirsty auctioneers, and general ne'er-do-wells. Solace and purpose come from the unlikeliest sources as he learns to navigate his new landscape without sight. Hoagland, himself, is going blind, and through this evocative, unsentimental novel, we experience the world closing in around Press, the rising panic of uncertainty, the isolation of exile, the increasing dependence upon the kindness of strangers, and a whole new appreciation of the world just beyond sight.
