    I’ve learned so much about weed history thanks to bean since listening to them since 2018 and thanks for my sign copy of your book bean I enjoy listening to you and still enjoyed seeing you live in Portland Oregon in 2022 with Abdullah before he left and smoking with you all I still enjoyed listening to you bean always faithful to the show and tell everyone and listen to it with my sober friend who’s learning a lot

    Thanks Bean!
    I love the stories and reminders of the struggles and fights we have gone through for people to have the rights to medicate and enjoy this plant. Extra shout out for the episode about Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary. He was a close friend and mentor. The history of Xmas traditions is one I listen to yearly with my kids.

    No better podcast on Earth - about the plant that was brought to us by the Earth.
    These guys are the best. Insightful, smart, funny and cool. Tremendous storytellers and great interviewers, and unique guests. Listening to Bean talk reminds me of my high school, college and post college years down the shore. He just gets it and brings it every time. Stap in, hold on and countdown to burndown! Greg from NJ

    absolutely awful
    Everything about this podcast is awful 😣. Information provided isn’t accurate. The awful voice acting is Very abrasive . Dumbing Down of Cannabis brought to you by… this awful podcast.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE!
    Abdullah and Bean are awesome. I am a cannabis attorney and professor and a big cannabis and history nerd. Having had the pleasure of hanging with Bean, getting high and watching Shakespeare in the Park in the dead of NYC summer, I can say he is just as chill, hilarious, and knowledgeable as he is on air. Keep it up. My Favorite Podcast!

    Wonderful Informative Podcast!
    I never miss “Great Moments…”. I’ve been smoking pot since 1972 but I always learn something new from this podcast!

    Awesome episode
    I am glad to hear from a doctor that actually took the time to really see the medical benefits of cannabis rather then just towing the line. Gives me some hope

    Love this show!
    It is both funny and informative about the history of this herb. My love and respect for this plant has deepened immensely thanks to this podcast. Great stories, great interviews.

    Incredible and addicting
    Probably the best podcast out there. I’ve learned so much incredible information and the two hosts are a joy to listen to!
  • enough white hypocricy
    As dry as cottonmouth.
    I actually found myself cringing on behalf of their guests.
  • Aaron M Miller
    What’s the matter, you don’t like it?
    Abdullah and Bien teach me so much every week about my favorite plant: truths behind the movement, current politics surrounding legalization, heroes from the past and heroes of today supporting and uplifting each other despite all the global super powers putting them down; I could go on but I won’t, but I could. I liked the plant for a long time before discovering this podcast, but I don’t see myself burning one ever again without some knowledge or tip or funny anecdote popping into my head that I heard on this show. One day I’ll be able to put five on it and some more to get my signed copy of Bien’s book. Until then, I’ll keep spreading the word about the best shadow-banned podcast there is!

    Essential Cannabis Learning Made Fun
    I am hooked! Great Moments in Weed History kept me gripped. So much precious untold information is beautifully narrated and detailedly collected in the most fun way possible. You want to invite these guys over and become their best friends instantly.
  • Madame Zilch
    Serious Geek Candy!
    I don’t know how I fell so hard for these guys but if not for their minds on cannabis, probably wouldn’t have happened. It’s serious political history astonishment at its best and hardcore inspiration at its worst! Bingeworthy. Honey Smith Walls, Host Cannaba Verum Podcast

  • 23Hershel
    Great episode, great podcast
    The Lennon episode was so inspiring - thank you for your journalistic excellence, your humor and your heart. I have learned so much from Great Moments - how any harm caused by weed is the harm caused by those ignorant of its benefits and history who use this delightful plant to sow oppression and division. Thanks guys - keep it up!

    Very entertaining and informative, you will laugh, cry and love these podcast.
  • Josiahz21
    They were right
    Weed is a gateway drug. A gateway into another dimension. One where I realized that I was lied to about weed, and if I was lied to about that, what else was I lied to about? My history, religion, reality itself? What is real? Adults have a weird way of pretending like they know what they’re doing and talk about, but how much of that is a lie or willful ignorance? Everyone is different but even nonconformists tend to have a similar style. Man, at his core, is tribalistic. The lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. I’m glad I found this pack. 🐕
  • MicahB2Cool
    Super informative and entertaining podcast
    Loving this podcast for deep dives into particular moments and subcultures in weed history. I’ve learned so much about weed culture from this show… every episode tackles a new story and fleshes out some aspect of the long and complex history of human interaction with the plant. The two hosts play really well off each other, too… love the juxtaposition of facts, banter, and obvious good friendship between them.
  • lemonhazehaley
    love it!!

    Weed is medicine!
    Thanks guys! I found your show a month after I started smokin weed and it’s helped me appreciate cannabis so much more! Weed truly has changed my life for the better. I’ve struggled with my health for many years and the relief I feel because of cannabis is remarkable. I’m a happier, better connected and more loving person because of cannabis!

    Real info from real guys about a real cure
    Growing up in a country that has been hostile to a plant for a majority of my life had me brainwashed into believing a series of lies. Those lies are slowly diminishing thanks to podcasts like GMIWH. The media has also been critical of the role that weed plays, not only in society, but historically. Is it a coincidence that the US has been at its most sick, both physically and mentally, during cannabis prohibition? And pharmaceutical sales reach all time highs while curative medicine remains inaccessible to the masses. This podcast does a great job of providing a historical context to the subject and starts the much overdue dialogue about weed and its role in society through a relatable and entertaining tone.
