A Smuggler's Daughter Tells All

About this episode

Rainbow Valentine shares her experiences growing up as the daughter of psychedelic pioneers involved in a cross-country weed distribution ring.

Rainbow Valentine is the creator behind Disorganized Crime: Smuggler’s Daughter, a first-person podcast series that explores her life growing up as the offspring of two psych*delic pioneers—as she calls them—who together operated a cross-country w--d distribution ring while living a life fully immersed in hippies, seekers, and counterculture luminaries. After digging into our GMIWH interview, be sure to check out Rainbow’s own podcasts, not just Disorganized Crime: Smuggler’s Daughter about her own family, but also her in-depth audio documentary about Wavy Gravy (American Prankster), and her latest series Psychedelic Women. - Disorganized Crime: Smuggler’s Daughter - American Prankster - Psychedelic Women PATREON Please ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠support Great Moments in Weed HIstory on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
