YOU DON’T REMEMBER STICKY FINGERS

S.F. Weekly talked to author Alia Volz about her new memoir, “Home Baked: My Mom, Marijuana and the Stoning of San Francisco.

  • Volz’s mother Meridy Volz ran Sticky Fingers, a brownie operation, from the late 1970’s until the late 1990’s. It prefigured the MED activism which accompanied the AIDS crisis.

Do you miss this?

“In those days,” Volz says, “the community aspect was extremely strong. A transaction could stretch for hours because there was this very community-oriented, social aspect to it all. You were friends with your dealer. You hung out. There was a scene and a subculture around it.”
