One of the privileges of being a weed tour guide is meeting people who changed history.

Jerry Munn isn’t just a cannasseur.  He’s not just one of the brilliant boutique cannabis farmers on one of the best Mendocino farms in The Emerald Triangle.. He was also one of the courageous outlaws who risked his freedom to bring medicine to those who vitally needed it when imbibing cannabis was still illegal in all 50 states.

How did you get started growing weed, and how long have you been growing?

I’ve been growing for over 30 years. I started some bag seeds in the 1980s. It was nearly impossible to get cannabis then. It was dangerous, too. I grew cannabis out of necessity to provide myself with quality medicine.
