The Roll-Up

Episode 20: Jim Carroll Is Our Drug Czar. That’s Weird.

This week: The new drug czar is not the author of The Basketball Diaries. In other news: BC Bud is going legal, Bernard Noble gets paroled, Don Cheadle hacks Washington’s track-n-trace system, and ‘Chuck the Sniffer’ gets caught holding 60 pounds. 

What, are you not familiar with the show? Every Friday, Leafly editors Bruce Barcott, Ben Adlin, and Dave Schmader dissect the week’s top stories in cannabis with analysis, arguments, jokes, and obscure cultural references.

The Roll-Up: It’s a news and culture podcast that hits the sweet spot between stoned and scholarly.
