What Are You Smoking? Episode 56: Ricky Williams on Cannabis, Wellness, and Astrology

Heisman Trophy winner. NFL Pro Bowler. Healer. Astrologer. Cannabis entrepreneur. Ricky Williams has been a lot of things in his life, and this week, he’s our guest on the What Are You Smoking? podcast.

Williams talks with our hosts, Will Hyde and Dante Jordan, about what his relationship with cannabis has looked like over the course of his life, and how it has evolved alongside his personal journey. You’ll hear how Williams’ training as a healer and herbalist has informed the development of his cannabis brand, Real Wellness, why he recommends learning more about astrology as a way to self-knowledge, and how making a run to Amsterdam to re-up for Lenny Kravitz’s tour bus taught him how to love Haze strains.
