Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's it's the nineties and Marin County, California. Saturdays, my dad would take me to this baseball field. All these guys my dad played with were our family friends. I just found out that of these folks were pot dealers or pot smugglers, or drug smugglers or growers. They all worked in the pot industry in the seventies and eighties, which was a big deal. You know, it was illegal, and so was my dad. Just a hot producer. Tip when you blow your nose, put some space between the storytelling and the nose blowing so I can Hello. I'm Rainbow Valentine. And for the past year, my dad has been coming clean to me about his decades long career as a big time pot smuggler. And by big time, I mean pretty big time. I think it was my dad and mom had to live a double life. What is active school board members, doting parents to three kids, and the other is outlaws? Like my parents had a secret room like the movies. Yeah, there's a real sacred room. Kick out a book when you took out a screw driver. Now, my dad wasn't the most organized criminal. He once lost half a million dollars buried in the backyard. It was pretty stressful. I couldn't find at least a half a million in cash. He also literally had to launder money. He once put more than a hundred thousand dollars in our dryer. Can't just dump it in the dryer, so I put them in sick. My dad was tremendously successful, and he smuggled during the War on drugs, a war that made people like my dad and his smuggling colleagues public enemy number one. Public Enemy number one is drug abuse, marijuana, the burning weed when its roots in Hell. My parents and they're smuggling associates are finally breaking their silence about growing up during the psychedelic Revolution in the sixties and entering into the life of outlaws in a world that had nothing but contempt for them. Together, we're going to find out how my dad was a pot smuggler for twenty two years and at what cost. I'm Rainbow Valentine for my Heart Media and School of Humans.
