LISTEN NOW Wherever You Get Your Podcasts

Great Moments in Weed History w/ Bean is a podcast that delves deep into humanity's 10,000+ year relationship with cannabis (a.k.a. "marijuana") to find the humor, heart, and historical importance of this very special plant. In each episode, co-hosts Abdullah Saeed and David Bienenstock take on a different great moment and highlight a new culture hero, covering everything from the night Willie Nelson smoked a joint on the roof of the White House to Maya Angelou’s life-changing first time getting stoned, Carl Sagan’s weed-fueled scientific epiphanies, and the compelling evidence that Jesus performed healing miracles by infusing THC into his Holy Anointing Oil. Once aligned with the biggest brands in cannabis media, the hosts and real-life close friends have chosen to produce this podcast fully independently, as the first venture of a new media platform dedicated to the cannabis community and its creators, free from corporate control. Every level of support meaningfully goes towards producing the podcast and allows us to focus our energies on creating the best possible show. Patreons also gain exclusive access to lots of behind the scenes content, including a weekly video sesh called "the Secret Sesh."
