Just started listing as of June 2025. Started from the beggining and I am only about 15 episodes in but these guys are hilarious. I started smoking about two years ago and have always been curious about the history behind weed. I am almost certain that my co workers think I am crazy because of how much laughing I do to myself because of these guys. Great podcast and keep up the amazing work!
