TPM Episode 486: Bob Landers, Snow Farmer

Bob Landers is a lifelong snowboarder, an underground entrepreneur, a cannabis expert, and a dear friend of mine for almost 40 years.  He's also a professional guide-but I don't disclose any information about what or where on the podcast. What I do is take you on BTS tour of what it was like to be a big-time Colorado cannabis grower, seller, and ski bum in the pre legal era of marijuana.  On the podcast we talk about privilege, snowboarding, a passion for weed, Dead Tour, meeting the right connections, the business, and the wild west of legal weed. Bob sure can tell a story, and this podcast is instantly one of my favorites.  Bob Landers Show Notes: 4:00: High School, weed, snowboarding in the 80's,  dropping out of college, and Dead Tour 22:00: Elan Skis:  Over 75 years of innovation that makes you better. 23:00: Vail, back to school, the real world, The Man, trouble, secret rooms, The Gangula, search and rescue, 40:30: Outdoor Research: The best is designed and tested in teh PNW and beyond 42:00: That guy, the business, legalization, finding the perfect strain, and the wild west of legal weed 63:00: Inappropriate Questions with Matt Shannon
