All American Pot Smugglers Podcast

The All American Pot Smugglers pod cast series recalls thrilling close calls with plane mechanical failures, plane crashes and near misses with the law men in the 80's. After the hippie movement of the 60's, and the environmental movements of the 70's, a wild bunch of good ol' boys turned hippies turn to smuggling medicinal marijuana to fund their mission of saving the planet from man- made environmental destruction. Four men (of exceptional collective mind set) came together to advance science, travel on a spiritual journey and promote sustainable environmental practices-with the resources derived from illegal at the time medicinal marijuana importation. This was a principled group of smugglers. They refused to be lured by the potential riches of dealing with the cocaine cowboys (no guns no violence). Pot was their commodity of choice. All episodes are true stories. The main characters are Pety, JJ, Sugar Bear and Gyro, who have changed their names to protect the guilty. These are real experiences of a builder/former pilot, a Vietnam Veteran, a civil rights anti-Vietnam protester and a psychedelic engineer who take you on a journey with a wild sense of humor. It is not meant to inspire others to act outside the law but rather a retrospective look at an era that celebrated a "hippie culture" that will likely never be replicated again.
