Summary

Tess and Claire sit down with co-founder of Drew Martin, Andrew Freeman, to discuss their favorite botanical joints. Andrew talks about both the challenges and joy of creating a brand in a space where not a lot of the LGBTQ community have been invited into it, and the history of cannabis specifically in the queer community from icons such as Harvey Milk championing for marijuana as medicine when the Ragaen administration ignored the HIV and AIDS crisis. Andrew debunks theories about sativa vs indica, (we were shocked) explains the intentional choices behind the botanical blends that their joints are infused with, and lucky for us, tells his love story with Drew. Enjoy this episode, please smoke responsibly, and happy pride!
