If you could smoke a joint with one historical figure, who would it be and why?
Madison Shockley
CEO
I would love to sit down and have a smoke session with Obama and talk to him about what it was like being the first black president. I would just want to hear stories about moments that were meaningful to him during this presidency.
Jeff Calegari
CEO
Robin Williams. He was probably one of the funniest men alive. I have a distinct memory of a friend of mine who worked at a gas station in Mill Valley back in the ‘80s, and Robin Williams and Christopher Reeves drove in a convertible red sports car. My friend took a picture of them, and they were laughing their asses off … high as a kite. I would have liked to have been in that car.
Nicolas Guarino
CEO
I would smoke a fat joint with Richard Milhous Nixon, but a couple of decades before he assumes any sort of position of power. That way, I’d see if there’s a way to change his mindset well before unforgivable mistakes were made.
Breanna Neff
Chief Food Scientist
Can I just say the Obamas as a collective? I would love to kick back and have a cipher with Barack + Michelle — chat with Barack about his yearly playlist selects (which are always on point even for a dad!). I don’t know if Michelle smokes but I bet she’ll drink a nice brelixi with me!
Kim Prince
CEO
Jacqueline Kennedy was an observer. She was private, educated, loved history and poetry, and was a book editor. It would have been a wonderful experience to enjoy cannabis with her in the library of her NYC apartment, across from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while learning about her unique perspective on overcoming obstacles in life.

I choose Mahatma Gandhi, and I’m envisioning a hypothetical scenario where sharing a joint with him could offer a pretty unique perspective. Engaging a session together might serve as a transcendent moment, bridging cultural and generational gaps. It could provide an opportunity to exchange ideas on peace, spirituality and the pursuit of justice in a relaxed setting, fostering a connection beyond historical context. Sharing a joint with Gandhi could symbolize a moment of unity and shared humanity, where diverse individuals come together to explore common ground and contemplate the complexities of life in a more informal and open-minded setting. Also, I bet we would laugh!
