In 1973, aged 17, Gerald Taylor left his New Zealand home and didn't return for four years. The story of what happened in between isJesus Weed- a tale of travel, lapsed Catholicism, chess, and the strongest marijuana mankind has ever known. A good-looking, adventurous young lad, Gerald is driven by a lust for adventure, women and life. Launching himself onto the hippie trail, he travels to Thailand where he encounters Jesus Weed for the first time. This is enough for him to come up with his own personal mission statement, dedicating himself to: 'The study and use of marijuana in all its myriad forms.
