'The History of Weed' returns to Portland, OR on Sat. April 19th! My last show at Kickstand Comedy theater sold out well in advance, so plan ahead to celebrate 4/20-Eve with an hour of humor and history, followed by a sesh right outside the theater. https://t.co/MQEoZei6Uv

The DEA had a subscription to High Times when I worked there. We knew not to publish anything that could help them. We also read their publication "Microgram." Last tweet from this account. I'll update @gmiwhpodcast when there's new episodes of Great Moments in Weed History

Who should be the next interview on Great Moments in Weed History podcast? One catch: If you suggest a show we’ve already done, you have to listen to the episode. https://t.co/kRxj7pkvth

You started smoking weed when you were three? Yup, that's too young.
The age you begin smoking marijuana regularly is when your emotional development stops.

Making Great Moments in Weed History is definitely a labor of love. But there's also a beautiful community who support the podcast on Patreon. I get so much inspiration from knowing people dig the show enough to "throw in on that shit." Thanks Chris! https://t.co/2wjvKSL1ZX

Making a harvest trip through Humboldt w/ @DannyDanko will always rank among the greatest moments in my personal weed history.

Brian's ability to explain incredibly complex issues in the cannabis space in seven panels and 150 words is really mind-boggling, especially while many reporters covering it (myself included) have trouble explaining this stuff in 1,000 words.
