Jose reminisces with Bobby about attending his wedding, his old Sirius show Contact High and getting high together back in NYC. Plus: Testament, tacos, tequila and more!

Well, it’s just one week before Election Day and America has some big decisions to make—not only between the lesser of two evils in the presidential race, but in nine states where the legalization of marijuana is on the ballot (five for recreational adult use, four for medical use). And while many of these measures are pretty straightforward, others (like Massachusetts’ Question 4 and California’s Prop 64) have created schism in the cannabis community. But fear not, dear Blackolytes—this week’s guest will help us help us sort out the pros and cons and make sense of it all. He is “Radical” Russ Belville—political columnist for High Times and the Huffington Post, and host of The Russ Belville Show on CannabisRadio.com.

In the final episode of Blazin’s first season, Bobby speaks with one of the most award winning cannabis breeders in the world today—Crockett of Crockett Family Farms. At its debut at the 2009 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, Crockett’s unique, citrusy strain Tangie won first place and proceeded to take the cannabis world by storm—winning award after award in the years that followed. Less than a decade later, Crockett’s family owned and operated company Crockett Family Farms have racked up nearly 100 different awards for their genetics...including two recent Concentrate Cup wins by Crockett’s son Brian. In the episode, Crockett discusses his partnership with DNA Genetics, his new strain set to dominate the market called Bob Ross, and the pride of working and succeeding alongside his family.

After leaving the NFL due to injuries, former New Orleans Saints tight end Boo Williams grew so depressed and disillusioned that he ultimately attempted suicide. But thanks to a brief stint in a recovery center—and with the help of cannabis—his life has made a 180 degree turn. Now, Boo devotes his life to helping others: he’s founded the Athletes Wellness Institute to assist other suffering players and educate them about the healing power of cannabis, as well as his own medical marijuana products BooBeary Kares under the brand BlackGhost Enterprises. On this week’s episode, Boo speaks about his efforts to change the NFL’s policy toward pot and how it helped save his life.

If you’ve seen the incredible 2001 film Blow starring Johnny Depp, then you’re already familiar with Bobby’s guest this week—the man the movie was based on, “Boston” George Jung. Perhaps the biggest and most infamous drug smuggler of of the 1970s and 80s, Jung was part of Pablo Escobar’s Medellin narco cartel that was responsible for importing over 85% of the cocaine in the country and lived a life of excitement and riches scarcely imaginable to the average person. But before he rose to the level of international “coke star,” Boston George was just a young pot smoker looking to make a buck. Now, after two decades, he is out of prison and telling his story without all of the Hollywood hooplah.
