Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richard Jergenson-Cultural Historian & Protopipe Co-Founder 08/21/26
Q: So take us back to 1968 between the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Led Zeppelin and how you built this connection to this plant.
Richard explains how witnessing legendary acts and the evolving concert culture reinforced his awareness of cannabis within a broader counterculture movement, shaping personal beliefs about disruption, creativity, and the plant's role in community expression.
Kerry Hurley - NorCal Weed Gal 09/04/26
Q: How did the shift from prohibition-era enforcement to legalization actually unfold on the ground in Trinity and surrounding counties?
Through a combination of archival research, FOIA requests, and conversations with longtime law enforcement and growers, which revealed how policy, enforcement, and local economies adapted over time.
Kerry Hurley - NorCal Weed Gal 09/04/26
Q: What sparked your interest in documenting Emerald Triangle cannabis history?
Her father being a history teacher and the habit of storytelling, plus early raids and the counterculture context inspired her to preserve these stories through writing and interviews.
Aaron Zeeman - Big Island Genetics 09/19/26
Q: What are some of the native or legacy Hawaiian genetics you've worked with or are preserving?
We've preserved lines like Kona Gold, Kauai Electric, Maui Waui, and Puna Butter, emphasizing landrace integrity, adaptation to the tropical sun, and the historical connections that shaped these varieties across the islands.
Aaron Zeeman - Big Island Genetics 09/19/26
Q: Can you paint a picture of where you are and what the environment is like on the island?
I'm in Hawaii on the Big Island, surrounded by volcanic landscape, and the climate supports year-round growth with many microclimates, including hot lava activity and tropical weather, which deeply informs how people grow and select strains.
