I Told The Ultimate Corporate Weed Bro to STFU
Fed up with finance d-bags enshitifying everything? Well, I can't stop them from trying to take over weed too, but I did just tell one of the worst offenders to hit the bricks, only with much more colorful language. Adam Bierman—co-founder and former CEO of a massive cannabis dispensary chain called Medmen—was originally pitched to me by his publicist, upon publication of his new book Weed Empire: How I Battled Gangsters, Investment Banks, and the Department of Justice to Build the Cannabis Industry in America. Now, to steal a phrase, that’s a book title so full of crap there’s a colon right in the middle of it. For a more honest take on the MedMen saga I recommend this 2020 deep dive from Politico. Anyway, our interview ended kinda abruptly, but maybe you'll find it cathartic to hear me tell this guy to STFU. I also explain why he deserved it and more. And yes, Medmen is the company that was ruthlessly parodied on South Park. PATREON Please support Great Moments in Weed HIstory on Patreon.
