How He Cracked the Code in Amsterdam at 19 and Became a Pioneer | Adam Dunn | Robertson Stash

We had Adam on for four hours and barely got through the first page of questions.
 
He told the full story: growing up bouncing between New York, Rhode Island, Chile, Jamaica, and California. The boats that kept catching fire. The wild story of how Doug stopped a van in the middle of the highway to get their money back. The glass history with Carl and Hans and the SNOB pipe line. The leaf blower he turned into a crowd-smoking device at the cup. And how a peyote ceremony in New Mexico got him to quit drinking at 48. This one is a piece of living cannabis history.
