Liner notes

This March 15, 2019 episode of The Adam Dunn Show is a true "boots on the ground" broadcast live from Spannabis 2019 in Barcelona. Recorded at the Tresor Social Club, Adam is joined by a rotating cast of cannabis royalty including Danny Danko, Ed Rosenthal, and Bobby Black. Live from Barcelona! We’re at the Tresor Social Club during Spannabis 2019 with a heavy-hitting panel. The "Guru of Ganja" Ed Rosenthal joins us to discuss his legendary legal battles, the transition from Yippie activism to industry mentorship, and the technical science of why you should never "cure" your cannabis in a jar. Danny Danko and Bobby Black break down the "Higher Way" of cannabis travel and the explosion of the Spanish social club model. We also dive into the future of automated "Robo-Crops," the myth of genetic stability in hype strains, and the reality of the 2019 hemp CBD "Unicorn."
