Hunter S. Thompson's favorite weed is being brought back to life
Anita Thompson, the widow of the late “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” author, plans to launch a brand of recreational marijuana using weed from her husband’s personal stash. Thompson told the Aspen Times of Colorado that she had saved six strains smoked by her spouse after he died in 2005. She is now working with a cannabis company to grow those strains and sell them under the brand “Gonzo,” a nod to the experimental style of journalism pioneered by Hunter Thompson in the 1970s.
