The Roll-Up

Bonus Episode: NFL Great Ricky Williams Talks Cannabis & Healing

Bonus content: Heisman Trophy winner and Pro Bowl running back Ricky Williams joins The Roll-Up to talk about cannabis, his football career, and his new life as a cannabis industry entrepreneur.

“Sitting on a stage, sharing my story for the first time, was extremely healing and cathartic. Standing up for my cannabis use, saying there might be something positive in this, it seemed to inspire people. The more I spoke at cannabis conferences and met people, the more I realized: There’s something here.”

What’s this show? Every Friday, Leafly editors Bruce Barcott, Ben Adlin, and Dave Schmader dissect the week’s top stories in cannabis with analysis, arguments, jokes, and obscure cultural references.

The Roll-Up: It’s a news and culture podcast, slightly elevated.
