Bona fide rap god B-Real of Cypress Hill doesn’t start with a light, CBD-rich sativa in the morning. For him—it’s “straight to that gas,” slang for pungent, high-THC chronic.

The weekly, scripted podcast’s guests this season include New York state Sen. Diane Savino, drag queen Laganja Estranja, and Mimicking Birds’ Adam Trachsel.
A ‘Fresh Air’ for cannabis, each potent Hash episode is co-hosted and produced by award-winning journalist and bestselling author David Downs and Max Savage Levenson (Pitchfork, NPR).Outta Gas?
Rapper B-Real helped set the tone of West Coast rap and hip-hop as a member of Cypress Hill. The platinum and multi-platinum-selling group will go down in history as a leader on cannabis law reform and culture. This fall B-Real launched the Dr. Greenthumb adult-use cannabis shop in Southern California, stocked it with his own line of INSANE cannabis products, released a new Cypress Hill record, Elephants on Acid, and continued his long-running web series B-Real.TV.
