Getting to Know Brandon Rust, Life, Cannabis, Aliens, and Spirituality!

We had a great session here with Brandon Rust! Brandon is an expert grower and founder of Bokashi Earthworks. This guy knows his stuff when it comes to growing cannabis. He has been on the show before, and many other podcasts, and we always talk about cannabis. Brandon put a post on his Instagram recently that told us about some of his childhood and some of his life story, and I thought it would be great to get him on for an interview and go into more detail about it. So here we are!

We go down many rabbit holes here. From Brandon’s childhood, his family, to aliens, spirituality, religion, psychedelics and much more! It is a proper session where we get into the meat of many things. Roll a few fat ones for this one. I hope you enjoy the interview.
