In this special episode of the Grow Weed at Home with Kyle Kushman podcast, we’re joined by cannabis legalization pioneer Keith Stroup, founder of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Fresh off receiving the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, Keith shares his decades-long journey advocating for marijuana reform, his memorable encounters with High Times founder Tom Forcade, and the pivotal role of Playboy and High Times in spreading the legalization message. Keith discusses the changing landscape of cannabis legalization, the ongoing challenges for federal reform, and reflects on his personal cannabis preferences — from rolling classic torpedo joints to steering clear of oils and vapes. He also offers insights into the future of cannabis acceptance, predicting that federal interference may be removed within 4 to 5 years, allowing states full autonomy in cannabis regulation. Tune in for an enlightening conversation filled with cannabis history, legalization updates, and Keith’s personal anecdotes, including creative highs from his stoned writing sessions! *Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this episode are those of the guest and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Homegrown Cannabis Co. or the Grow Weed at Home podcast.
