John Potash; author of "Drugs as a Weapon Against Us - CIA's Murdurous Targeting of SDS, Panthers, Hendrix, Lennon, Cobain, Tupac and Other Activists"

Potash has been featured on CSPAN's American History TV and has been interviewed on dozens of radio stations around the U.S. and abroad.

is
He has worked counseling people with mental health issues and addictions for over 25 years.
 
We chat about the "other" side of some of the more so called enlightening drugs like acid/lsd, weed and ecstasy. And the "war on" and supply chain of the harder drugs and what kind of role the big banks and CIA play in this. We also talk a bit about addiction and how there can be hope in recovery. Tupac's family history is quite coincidental and John's research uncovers some truly mind blowing facts, that we should not ignore. Read this tomb of research and come to your own conclusion.

The Grimerica Show is a long-form conversation series hosted by Darren and Graham that operates without a map, preferring to follow curiosity down whatever rabbit hole seems most compelling. This podcast exists in a space where documentary meets late-night talk radio, built on the idea that the most interesting perspectives are often found outside the mainstream. Episodes feature deep, casual dialogues with independent researchers, authors, and thinkers typically exploring the edges of accepted narratives. You’ll hear discussions that weave together spirituality, alternative interpretations of history, and the enduring mystery of UFOs, alongside examinations of consciousness, forgotten cultures, and societal structures. The approach is intentionally unscripted and open-ended, allowing guests to present complex or unconventional ideas without the constraints of a traditional editorial filter. The tone is more like a gathering of friends than a formal interview, resulting in a free-flowing exchange that can be both challenging and entertaining. For listeners tired of pre-packaged conclusions, The Grimerica Show offers a platform for speculative dialogue and raw inquiry. It’s built for anyone who prefers questions over answers and enjoys hearing a conversation unfold organically, with all its tangents and revelations intact. This is independent media driven by genuine interest, creating a consistently unpredictable listening experience.
