We told you weed be back! This week we take some fat dabs, smoke a blunt, and talk about the origins of the American Police force! Here's a hint: It's very racist and very xenophobic. Around 30 minutes into it, we talk about the mysterious death of John Lang.

Check out our instagram to see the pictures for this week, and John Lang's youtube page for the videos we watched.

Breonna Taylor's birthday was on Friday. Click here to donate directly to her family's Gofundme and here for more BLM resources that you can donate to if you're able.
