Few plants divide opinion like cannabis. It has been treated as a medicine, a crime, a culture and now a fast-growing industry. London Real has spoken to a famous smuggler, a neuroscientist, entrepreneurs, fighters and filmmakers about it. These conversations cover the rise of CBD, the business of cannabis, prohibition and drug policy, and personal stories of using it. Laws differ by country, and the views shared are the guests’ own, not medical or legal advice. Every full interview is free to watch.
From Mr Nice author Howard Marks and Columbia University neuroscientist Dr Carl Hart to former Wall Street trader Teeka Tiwari, IGNITE founder Dan Bilzerian, six-time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates, 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu founder Eddie Bravo and author Graham Hancock: the debate over cannabis.
Teeka Tiwari, a former Wall Street trader turned cannabis industry expert, explains why he believes CBD can become a multi-billion dollar industry. Dan Bilzerian, the poker player and founder of the cannabis and CBD company IGNITE International, argues that pleasure is not the same as happiness. In The Setup he shares his philosophy on life, women and money. Dorian Yates, the six-time Mr Olympia, joins Brian Rose at Joe’s Smokers Club to talk about the culture of cannabis and what he sees as its medicinal value.
Howard Marks, the Welsh cannabis smuggler turned author known as Mr Nice, talked about smuggling, MI6, prison and drug law reform. He died in 2016, and London Real remembers him with this redux of his 2013 interview. Dr Carl Hart grew up believing drugs were the cause of his Miami neighbourhood’s problems. After the military and a career in neuroscience, he now argues for education over misinformation. Filmmaker Adam Scorgie examines how cannabis prohibition affects society in The Culture High, and Graham Hancock argues that sovereignty over your own body is the ultimate human right.
Eddie Bravo, founder of 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu, explains why he avoided marijuana for most of his life and now embraces it. Former UFC fighter Dan Hardy talks openly about his life and career, and in 2012 Dave Proctor discussed the pros and cons of drugs and why quitting smoking can take many attempts. Philosopher Yann Houdre talks about experimenting with marijuana, one of London Real’s earliest conversations on the subject.
