The Secret Sesh vs. Corporate Weed

The Secret Sesh vs. Corporate Weed

Author: David Bienenstock August 10, 2022 Duration: 46:39
For ten years, the Secret Sesh in Los Angeles has brought together true OGs from all walks of life to see, smell, smoke and celebrate their favorite plant. What began as a clandestine cannabis farmer's market—held in garages and back lots—has since grown into a stadium-sized weedy realm unto itself. At the center of it all: Our guest this week, podcaster and comedian Adam Ill, who takes on a journey from his early days as a stoner skater in "the late 1900s" to his role today as master of ceremonies at the now legal—and no longer secret—Secret Sesh. Also, check out Abdullah's 2019 report on the Secret Sesh for KCRW radio in LA.
