On our next episode of the Canadian Potcast you'll discover how five kids and a Chevy Impala invented 420. You'll meet Thomas O’Neill, “The Butter Baron”. A former black market dealer in Toronto who went legit around legalization… or tried to. His business was immediately shut down for violating cannabis regulations at the time. Now he’s founded the CCTA, The Canadian Cannabis Tourism Alliance, a non-profit that advocates for better policy to allow for cannabis tourism businesses to flourish. Plus we go back to 1971 to discover the origins of “420”. The story involves the Grateful Dead, A Chevy Impala, and the US coast guard.
Guests
