Each week on Hempresent, Vivian McPeak-widely known as the Hemposapien and the founder of Seattle Hempfest-creates a space where conversation about cannabis is rooted in substance and history, not just headlines.

The tone is informed and passionate, reflecting decades of advocacy. Tune in for a weekly dose of perspective that challenges stereotypes and explores the multifaceted role of cannabis in our world, all guided by a voice that has been part of the movement's foundation.
