Summary

On this episode, Kennedy sits down with former NFL Running Back, Heisman winner, and medical cannabis advocate Ricky Williams for a conversation about his football career and cannabis lifestyle brand "Highsman." Ricky explains that after he was banned from the NFL for testing positive for marijuana in 2003, he spent his time studying Ayurvedic medicine, yoga, and astrology which inspired him to pursue alternative healing. He later shares that he is grateful for the shift we've seen in culture regarding the stigma put on cannabis and THC products, as they can be used for overall well-being.
