GreenLeaf Sep 2020

6. What's the worst change you've seen?
The worst part about the Green Rush is definitely
the Greed. Corporate weed and Celebrity
opportunists taking advantage of the struggle
We were in and they did Nothing to help. That is
why I outed Oscar Winner Whoopi Goldberg as a
pothead to TMZ in 2011. These celebs start CBD
companies and grow operations yet never caring
about the incarcerated pot POW or Legalization.
Free the prisoners, then get rich.
7. Is there anything that concerns you
about the direction the industry is heading?
My concern about the industry is that there is no
loyalty. Money is the central focus and not the
Food, Fuel, Fiber, Medicine and Joy that Cannabis
brings. This plant is special among all others
on this planet and has been a major part of all of
humanity. Cannabis gives me a purpose.
8. What advice would you give someone
looking to step into the spotlight within the
cannabis culture?
My advice to anyone looking to get into the Cannabis
Spotlight so to Speak: Read The Emperor
Wears No Clothes. Know about the plant, it's
history and the modern players in the industry.
Social Media has become a vital tool to build a
following. Much to my surprise, Social Media Influencers
smoking weed on camera has become
a form of popular entertainment. I tell pot jokes in
front of live audiences so this perplexes me.
9. What are the 3 things you are most
proud of throughout your years of fighting
for the cause?
3 things I am most proud of in my many years in
420 comedy would be #1. Opening for comedy
idols Cheech and Chong and doing impressions
for them backstage at their request. The only other
comedian that has opened for them is Shelby
Chong. #2. Winning Season One of the Marijuana
Show (Amazon Prime) and getting an Investment
from King Of Quality Productions. I was an
underdog but my Cannabis themed Comicbook
idea proved to be the winner. I tried out for Last
Comic Standing, The Voice and Who wants to be
a Superhero. In 2014, this Reality Show, I won.
#3 Smoking Weed with Willie Nelson and talking
about the time I got to perform at The Buddha
Fest in LA with Him in 2011. He is beyond cool
and that was a magic moment.
10. What's next for the 420 Comic?
Lots of stuff in the works. New Comicbooks, An
Animated Series. Kushstock and Neon 420 Las
Vegas in April, Bringing The Dopest Show On
Earth to Portland in May, Oklahoma Cannabis
Expo in August and Wasteland Weekend in September.
BONUS:
--If you could only have one strain for
the rest of your life, what would it be?
One Strain? If I had to choose one strain it would
probably be an indica, Grandaddy Purps or Blueberry
Cheese.
--You mentioned that you were an animator
for some of the older cartoons.
What did you work on and where can
people see them? Cartoons?
I was an Animator for 18 years in LA, starting with
working for Stan Lee in 1990. My resume includes
X-Men, Batman, Iron Man, The Incredible
Hulk, The Fantastic Four: Sonic Underground, My
Little Pony and dozens more. These shows live
on every day on Disney Plus, DC Channel, Tubi,
Pluto and YouTube and I love that.
--What’s your go-to snack when you get
the munchies?
Go to Snack - Blueberry Pop-tarts can be enticing
but frankly I curb my appetite with pot like I did in
High School.
