We talk about the science behind his new book, From Cancer to Cannabis, and how we may have been wrong about weed the whole time.
We also discuss how different varieties affect us, his journey from prison to AG Seed Co., the incredible people he met along the way, the problem with modern polyhybrid genetics, hype phenos, autoflowers, and what all of it means for preserving the plant long-term
