this is the first ep we have a guest telling ME whats going on with the story. A nice change :)

Known for running one of the largest black market grow operations in U.S. history, the Cornbread Mafia has become a mythic crew within cannabis culture and the legacy of prohibition. early homegrown pot farmers were a ragtag collection of hippies, Vietnam vets, criminals, stoners, and businessmen; they got the “mafia” moniker due to their outlaw spirit rather than Italian tradition. They were a rebel syndicate, of sorts, and referred to marijuana as “cornbread” to throw off authorities. This is their story.

with guest Jim Higdon (@jimhigdon). Jim wrote the literal book on the Corn Bread Mafia (available on amazon) and now runs a cbd company called @cornbreadhemp (on IG) and cornbreadhemp.com. So if you wanna take a literally chill pill, and listen to this banger, head on over to Cornbreadhemp.com and get you some CBD BABY!
