I moved to Mexico City a few years later. I have had a very unique experience of being able to see the world of cannabis — and cannabis prohibition in particular — on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Seeing how it works on an international level inspired me to share it with young leaders and readers. The people I spoke with come from all over the Americas: Argentina, Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, the U.S. They all have different experiences with a certain role that cannabis plays in society. A 14-year-old from Buenos Aires who takes it medicinally. An auto shop worker in LA who was incarcerated on cannabis charges. An architect from Mexico who constructs using hemp-based materials. A former NBA player, Al Harrington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Al Harrington played for the Golden State Warriors when I was growing up. I never knew he was involved in the cannabis industry.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s special because he’s one of the only people in the book who is from the legal, commercial cannabis industry in the U.S. When I tapped people for this, I wanted to show different parts of the cannabis spectrum. I found that people in the legal cannabis industry didn’t want to be involved in a project geared towards young readers and education, or around cannabis policing or any of that. But Al understood what I was doing right away. We talked about what cannabis means to him and how it entered his life as a teenager, not as personal consumption, but how him and his friends were criminalized around cannabis. Cops would line them up and search them for drugs, which I think is sadly a common experience for Black and brown people around the world. He understood why young people could use more information about it and how cannabis impacts our personal health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13933921\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13933921\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-800x1067.jpeg\" alt=\"an NBA player stands next to his grandmother in a living room\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-1020x1360.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-160x213.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former NBA player, Al Harrington, is interviewed about cannabis in Donohue’s latest book. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Al Harrington)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Your book explores various perspectives on the cannabis spectrum throughout the Americas.

So much of it is about cannabis, but it’s also about prohibition. I wanted that point to come across about how prohibition isn’t linked to how dangerous drugs are. Most of the time it’s established as a tool of racism and classism, and leads to horrific violence which the power structures use to control very specific communities. This plant impacts all of us differently depending on who we are: our racial background, our neighborhoods, our gender, our social class, and so on. This book reminds us that we are all community members. We all use drugs in different ways for different purposes. I hope the book can be a starting point to talk about not just weed, but other issues impacting the lives of young people around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are some benefits of cannabis, and why should anyone who is against it consider softening their views on it as an illegal substance?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with a nursing professor at the University of British Columbia, and she interviewed hundreds of young people about drugs in their life. She uses educational resources to teach kids about drugs in a harm-reduction perspective, rather than the traditional binary of abstinence versus addiction. She underlines the fact that we’re all drug users. Humans have always been drug users. It will never be about eliminating drug use. Even drugs that are more “recreational” in nature, it’s about being in touch with our bodies and minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people looking to know about the health benefits of cannabis, there is a chapter about how its medicinal purposes can help to maintain a high quality of life. There are some conditions where people have used cannabis and it has proven to have dramatic results on improving their specific condition. There’s also a chapter in the book about the impacts of non-psychoactive cannabis in our lives. Hemp flour, hemp milk. There’s a lot of very positive examples of cannabis’ impact on a day-to-day basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13933919\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13933919\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"a woman who authored a book on cannabis stands behind cannabis plants\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caitlin Donohue, who has been reporting on drug and culture in the Americas for decades, is focused on young readers with her latest book, ‘Weed.’ \u003ccite>(Sandra Blow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The Bay Area has always been an informal hub for weed usage and distribution — dating back to the counter-cultural movements of the 1960s in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.

The queer community wanted to keep each other safe, and they weren’t necessarily concerned with cannabis being deemed illegal by the government.

The cops and the state wanted to turn public opinion against medical marijuana, but voters decided to do it anyway. It’s another example of why it’s important to look at how drug prohibition impacts specific communities and how it falls on different people’s backs, and that has happened in Bay Area culture and communities for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This book is geared towards young adults.

By covering up certain subjects it creates fear where there doesn’t need to be fear. When I was little, I had some D.A.R.E.-type of officer visit my classroom and I remember being so anxious and fearful for the rest of that day. I went straight home and waited for my mom. I told her about how bad drugs are and how people who do them are bad. Thank god my mom took the time to educate me on her own. When I inevitably tried weed, I didn’t have any paranoia or neurosis around it. It allowed me to develop a healthy relationship with cannabis — although I have had moments of problematic uses at times. But kids are capable.

I moved to Mexico City a few years later. I have had a very unique experience of being able to see the world of cannabis — and cannabis prohibition in particular — on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Seeing how it works on an international level inspired me to share it with young leaders and readers. The people I spoke with come from all over the Americas: Argentina, Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, the U.S. They all have different experiences with a certain role that cannabis plays in society. A 14-year-old from Buenos Aires who takes it medicinally. An auto shop worker in LA who was incarcerated on cannabis charges. An architect from Mexico who constructs using hemp-based materials. A former NBA player, Al Harrington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Al Harrington played for the Golden State Warriors when I was growing up. I never knew he was involved in the cannabis industry.\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s special because he’s one of the only people in the book who is from the legal, commercial cannabis industry in the U.S. When I tapped people for this, I wanted to show different parts of the cannabis spectrum. I found that people in the legal cannabis industry didn’t want to be involved in a project geared towards young readers and education, or around cannabis policing or any of that. But Al understood what I was doing right away. We talked about what cannabis means to him and how it entered his life as a teenager, not as personal consumption, but how him and his friends were criminalized around cannabis. Cops would line them up and search them for drugs, which I think is sadly a common experience for Black and brown people around the world. He understood why young people could use more information about it and how cannabis impacts our personal health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13933921\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13933921\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-800x1067.jpeg\" alt=\"an NBA player stands next to his grandmother in a living room\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-800x1067.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-1020x1360.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-160x213.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue3.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former NBA player, Al Harrington, is interviewed about cannabis in Donohue’s latest book. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Al Harrington)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Your book explores various perspectives on the cannabis spectrum throughout the Americas. What’s a major takeaway you’ve had?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really wanted to make it clear in this book that even though we’re all talking about the same plant, it has different roles and levels of acceptance in other regions and countries. So much of it is about cannabis, but it’s also about prohibition. I wanted that point to come across about how prohibition isn’t linked to how dangerous drugs are. Most of the time it’s established as a tool of racism and classism, and leads to horrific violence which the power structures use to control very specific communities. This plant impacts all of us differently depending on who we are: our racial background, our neighborhoods, our gender, our social class, and so on. This book reminds us that we are all community members. We all use drugs in different ways for different purposes. I hope the book can be a starting point to talk about not just weed, but other issues impacting the lives of young people around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What are some benefits of cannabis, and why should anyone who is against it consider softening their views on it as an illegal substance?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spoke with a nursing professor at the University of British Columbia, and she interviewed hundreds of young people about drugs in their life. She uses educational resources to teach kids about drugs in a harm-reduction perspective, rather than the traditional binary of abstinence versus addiction. She underlines the fact that we’re all drug users. Humans have always been drug users. It will never be about eliminating drug use. Even drugs that are more “recreational” in nature, it’s about being in touch with our bodies and minds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For people looking to know about the health benefits of cannabis, there is a chapter about how its medicinal purposes can help to maintain a high quality of life. There are some conditions where people have used cannabis and it has proven to have dramatic results on improving their specific condition. There’s also a chapter in the book about the impacts of non-psychoactive cannabis in our lives. Hemp flour, hemp milk. There’s a lot of very positive examples of cannabis’ impact on a day-to-day basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13933919\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13933919\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-800x1200.jpg\" alt=\"a woman who authored a book on cannabis stands behind cannabis plants\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-1920x2880.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue1-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caitlin Donohue, who has been reporting on drug and culture in the Americas for decades, is focused on young readers with her latest book, ‘Weed.’ \u003ccite>(Sandra Blow)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>The Bay Area has always been an informal hub for weed usage and distribution — dating back to the counter-cultural movements of the 1960s in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.

In California it was an HIV/AIDS patient who really figured out how cannabis could help give appetites back, it helped with nausea. The queer community wanted to keep each other safe, and they weren’t necessarily concerned with cannabis being deemed illegal by the government. There was \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/style/article/How-San-Francisco-s-HIV-AIDS-warriors-paved-the-13826035.php#photo-17309624\">a famed HIV/AIDS patients cannabis club [activist Dennis Peron’s Cannabis Buyers’ Club]\u003c/a> that was raided very publicly during the run-up to Proposition 215 [the first medical marijuana legislation in the country]. The cops and the state wanted to turn public opinion against medical marijuana, but voters decided to do it anyway. It’s another example of why it’s important to look at how drug prohibition impacts specific communities and how it falls on different people’s backs, and that has happened in Bay Area culture and communities for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>This book is geared towards young adults.

By covering up certain subjects it creates fear where there doesn’t need to be fear. When I was little, I had some D.A.R.E.-type of officer visit my classroom and I remember being so anxious and fearful for the rest of that day. I went straight home and waited for my mom. I told her about how bad drugs are and how people who do them are bad. Thank god my mom took the time to educate me on her own. When I inevitably tried weed, I didn’t have any paranoia or neurosis around it. It allowed me to develop a healthy relationship with cannabis — although I have had moments of problematic uses at times. But kids are capable. What’s more is that we’re setting them up for real confusion, particularly around marijuana. Right now there is gourmet weed being marketed on every level and the cannabis industry in California is massive. So it’s really time to be giving young people more tools to work with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13933923\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13933923\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"a Peruvian family grows cannabis plants in a small green house\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/CDonohue5-1920x1440.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peruvian cannabis activist Ana Álvarez is interviewed about her collective, Buscando Esperanza. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Ana Álvarez and Buscando Esperanza)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Did you encounter any challenges while writing this book?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honestly, my challenge might start now.

There isn’t really one thing that I’m limited to doing. I bake, cook, make medicinal products, butter, oils, infusions. It all goes hand in hand and is made from scratch. There’s no limit to what I might make and I’m finding ways to merge things: the chicken and waffle taco, for example. It’s savory and sweet, and dabbles into all my interests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edibles also go organically with my treats. I’m intrigued by that industry.

What’s it like to run your business from two cities, and how do you balance that?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It works together, especially when it comes to business. Both places can be booming, but if one is doing better than the other, it gives me a chance to move around. I move where the money is. I initially got up to Portland after visiting a friend. I was making banana loafs at the time and thought it would be a good fit in Oregon after seeing someone already had theirs in store. Within six hours of me being there I was already smelling opportunities. We went around to different food carts and I noticed what was going on in the food scene. I felt like I had a chance to do something different and add to it all. I moved in after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My business is heavily based off \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/treatsbyb/\">my social media\u003c/a>. Being on a budget and trying to start a business, I was limited with resources, which made me more creative in the kitchen. A lot of my meals might’ve looked extravagant, but they were basic ingredients with a creative touch. Being in two places just helps me spread what I do, which I prefer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re focused on plant-based options and vegan ingredients. What are the benefits of veganism and how did you first get into it?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My good friend Lola has been vegan since high school. She pushed me in this direction. In 2014, I was on Facebook, and she posted a flyer about Vegan Street Fair in LA. I wanted to do it, so I reached out to the coordinators and got set up with that. From there I got accepted and paid my fee. I had never made anything vegan or plant-based in my life, but we’ve figured it out (laughs). I started small, but eventually was making stuff for events for thousands of people in my home kitchen. I’ve made over 2,000 vegan cupcakes in a week using my home oven. I’d go with a hundred cases of 12-count cupcakes to events. That’s a lot for one person in that type of kitchen. But I was passionate. Raspberry, banana, strawberry, green tea, coconut almond. I did it all through trial and error. That put knowledge in my belt for plant-based products. During that time, I started altering my own diet and went vegan myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everything really kicked off and I decided to do strictly plant-based when I moved to Portland. I got connected with Jewan, from \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsplantbasedpapi/?hl=en\">Plant Based Papi\u003c/a>, and started doing vegan desserts there. The product was softer, sweeter, more moist. It even looked and tasted better. Plant-based products are slightly more expensive, but they last longer. Oat milk can last for about two months. Dairy milk has a short shelf time. It expires faster. Even my butter and frostings, the consistency came out better. I didn’t even tell my customers initially and they were raving about it, so I eventually told them (laughs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.instagram.com/p/CeekmYMvDv3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You do lots of custom, one-off treats — like your Pink Champagne Geode Cake (pictured above). Describe some of your favorite items and clients. What makes your creations distinct?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two types of cakes I make: buttercream cakes (frosting) and fondant (fun 3D molds). A favorite client I make cakes for is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/galore/?hl=en\">Galore\u003c/a>. They’re based in LA. I got connected with them a few years ago, I just reached out and they were totally with it. They gave me free range. They’d throw parties and some celebrities would attend, and they’d ask me to make cakes with people’s names on it and stuff like that. I’d make them in the Bay and take them all the way to LA for a weekend. I’ve worked with outlets like BET. I also did something for \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/victoriamonet/?hl=en\">Victoria Monét\u003c/a>’s birthday after she worked with Ariana Grande, who attended. I made a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/505036545705530261/\">“Burn Book” cake\u003c/a> from Mean Girls and cupcakes that resembled Victoria’s work. I went to the party and met them both, and they were very happy with the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, I’ve also shipped cakes from Portland to the Bay. Shipping cakes is a thing (laughs). I wasn’t sure how to make it work at first. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/CTvbzYMJuAs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">This one cake took two full days\u003c/a>, hand painted, and I used an airbrush to incorporate pieces that reflected the person’s lifestyle. They wanted guns, money, an eightball, an ashtray and other symbols about where they’re from. They had recently lost a family member, so I added that as well. That’s about $1,000 total. With shipping, labor, ingredients. It’s not cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re heavily rooted in the Bay Area, having worked with local figures like Juan Toscano-Anderson before. What’s your connection to the culture here, beyond even just food?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan was a client. His mom’s 50th birthday was on June 1, and I was on my way to Portland that day. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTeobeAxNf/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D\">I finished the cake for his mom\u003c/a> right before leaving. She really loved that cake. Overall, I’ve just been around a lot of people here over the years. I used to do photography, so that helped me meet people in the scene. That got me out to shows for people like SchoolBoy Q, when I was working at Converse. I was shooting events and meeting people around the Bay. Shooting shows was a way for me to attend events on a different side of things. I’ve done 2 Chainz at Fox Theater, SZA in the City, Ab Soul, music festivals. It paid off because now I take all my own photos of the food. Staging, lighting, all that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13920855\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13920855\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Brea Gladney and her mother both stand in front of their home in San Leandro, while Brea holds one of her vegan fried chicken waffle tacos\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The baker and her mother stand in front of their home, where it all started for the Gladney 10 years ago. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What struggles do independent foodmakers like yourself face? Do you have advice for anyone interested in this profession?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My 10-year-anniversary is next year. I started this business at my mom’s house in San Leandro. I was talking to my best friend one day, thinking about doing an event in LA. I had no idea about anything. It was about $700 for the permits. That’s when I started to learn about the different types of permits you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as running a business, you need to get some things to get started, but it wasn’t that complicated. I needed a kitchen, and I found out that I don’t necessarily need all the extra stuff to start off. I share that with other bakers who wanna start. If you go to the health department, you can get started from your house. You can get a permit based on the products you make and income you get. Since then I’ve been doing this for a long time, just trial and error. Self taught. And with my mom as my biggest sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What events do you have coming up?

You can get things there that are [cannabis] infused, or not. I really appreciate that market. It’s very organized, a safe space and a lot of fun. It’s a community. We look out for each other, and it gives me a sort of home base outside of my home. Sometimes you have to be careful about letting everyone know where you’re at, especially as a woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honestly, my goal is to never open anything full-time; I do not like the public like that (laughs). I like creating products and putting it out on my own timeline. I do have cookies that are plant-based, and those are really shipping friendly. You can get things like that at any time. Or you can make requests, and that’s cool, and that’s where the custom orders come in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I love pop-ups, too.

I felt like I had a chance to do something different and add to it all. I moved in after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My business is heavily based off \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/treatsbyb/\">my social media\u003c/a>. Being on a budget and trying to start a business, I was limited with resources, which made me more creative in the kitchen. A lot of my meals might’ve looked extravagant, but they were basic ingredients with a creative touch. Being in two places just helps me spread what I do, which I prefer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re focused on plant-based options and vegan ingredients. What are the benefits of veganism and how did you first get into it?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My good friend Lola has been vegan since high school. She pushed me in this direction. In 2014, I was on Facebook, and she posted a flyer about Vegan Street Fair in LA. I wanted to do it, so I reached out to the coordinators and got set up with that. From there I got accepted and paid my fee. I had never made anything vegan or plant-based in my life, but we’ve figured it out (laughs). I started small, but eventually was making stuff for events for thousands of people in my home kitchen. I’ve made over 2,000 vegan cupcakes in a week using my home oven. I’d go with a hundred cases of 12-count cupcakes to events. That’s a lot for one person in that type of kitchen. But I was passionate. Raspberry, banana, strawberry, green tea, coconut almond. I did it all through trial and error. That put knowledge in my belt for plant-based products. During that time, I started altering my own diet and went vegan myself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everything really kicked off and I decided to do strictly plant-based when I moved to Portland. I got connected with Jewan, from \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsplantbasedpapi/?hl=en\">Plant Based Papi\u003c/a>, and started doing vegan desserts there. The product was softer, sweeter, more moist. It even looked and tasted better. Plant-based products are slightly more expensive, but they last longer. Oat milk can last for about two months. Dairy milk has a short shelf time. It expires faster. Even my butter and frostings, the consistency came out better. I didn’t even tell my customers initially and they were raving about it, so I eventually told them (laughs).\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"instagramLink","attributes":{"named":{"instagramId":"CeekmYMvDv3"},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cb>You do lots of custom, one-off treats — like your Pink Champagne Geode Cake (pictured above).

What makes your creations distinct?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two types of cakes I make: buttercream cakes (frosting) and fondant (fun 3D molds). A favorite client I make cakes for is \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/galore/?hl=en\">Galore\u003c/a>. They’re based in LA. I got connected with them a few years ago, I just reached out and they were totally with it. They gave me free range. They’d throw parties and some celebrities would attend, and they’d ask me to make cakes with people’s names on it and stuff like that. I’d make them in the Bay and take them all the way to LA for a weekend. I’ve worked with outlets like BET. I also did something for \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/victoriamonet/?hl=en\">Victoria Monét\u003c/a>’s birthday after she worked with Ariana Grande, who attended. I made a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pinterest.com/pin/505036545705530261/\">“Burn Book” cake\u003c/a> from Mean Girls and cupcakes that resembled Victoria’s work. I went to the party and met them both, and they were very happy with the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, I’ve also shipped cakes from Portland to the Bay. Shipping cakes is a thing (laughs). I wasn’t sure how to make it work at first. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/reel/CTvbzYMJuAs/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">This one cake took two full days\u003c/a>, hand painted, and I used an airbrush to incorporate pieces that reflected the person’s lifestyle. They wanted guns, money, an eightball, an ashtray and other symbols about where they’re from. They had recently lost a family member, so I added that as well. That’s about $1,000 total. With shipping, labor, ingredients. It’s not cheap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’re heavily rooted in the Bay Area, having worked with local figures like Juan Toscano-Anderson before. What’s your connection to the culture here, beyond even just food?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan was a client. His mom’s 50th birthday was on June 1, and I was on my way to Portland that day. \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/ByTeobeAxNf/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D\">I finished the cake for his mom\u003c/a> right before leaving. She really loved that cake. Overall, I’ve just been around a lot of people here over the years. I used to do photography, so that helped me meet people in the scene. That got me out to shows for people like SchoolBoy Q, when I was working at Converse. I was shooting events and meeting people around the Bay. Shooting shows was a way for me to attend events on a different side of things. I’ve done 2 Chainz at Fox Theater, SZA in the City, Ab Soul, music festivals. It paid off because now I take all my own photos of the food. Staging, lighting, all that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13920855\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13920855\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Brea Gladney and her mother both stand in front of their home in San Leandro, while Brea holds one of her vegan fried chicken waffle tacos\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/10/treats-by-b_mom.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The baker and her mother stand in front of their home, where it all started for the Gladney 10 years ago. \u003ccite>(Alan Chazaro)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What struggles do independent foodmakers like yourself face?

I was talking to my best friend one day, thinking about doing an event in LA. I had no idea about anything. It was about $700 for the permits. That’s when I started to learn about the different types of permits you need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As far as running a business, you need to get some things to get started, but it wasn’t that complicated. I needed a kitchen, and I found out that I don’t necessarily need all the extra stuff to start off. I share that with other bakers who wanna start. If you go to the health department, you can get started from your house. You can get a permit based on the products you make and income you get. Since then I’ve been doing this for a long time, just trial and error. Self taught. And with my mom as my biggest sponsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>What events do you have coming up?

This framing was especially prominent in the ’80s and ’90s, when Tyson was at the height of his boxing powers. (Representatives for Mike Tyson did not respond to requests for comment.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the event in San Francisco, the media has covered Tyson for his “angry” interactions with fans, the first of which occurred April 21 aboard Tyson’s flight departing from San Francisco.

We just happen to have it on tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This incident is about more than just one word said by one man on one day. It’s a case study; a harsh, slap-to-the-face reminder that anti-Black racism is alive and very well, even in San Francisco.

Power coupled with ignorance is a terrible combination. It’s why everyone should strive to better understand the ways in which the n-word has been and continues to be weaponized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That word from the mouth of a white person is a reminder of the ideology used against our ancestors to justify the inhumane atrocities of chattel slavery. It was the word shouted in hate by white mobs as they lynched Black people without due process of law. It was the word ordinary Black folks heard through ringing ears as they were brutalized by police simply for demanding their right to vote. It was the word \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/buffalo-shooting-suspect-had-n-word-written-on-gun-2022-5\">painted onto the barrel of the Buffalo shooter’s gun\u003c/a>.

This framing was especially prominent in the ’80s and ’90s, when Tyson was at the height of his boxing powers. (Representatives for Mike Tyson did not respond to requests for comment.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the event in San Francisco, the media has covered Tyson for his “angry” interactions with fans, the first of which occurred April 21 aboard Tyson’s flight departing from San Francisco. A fellow passenger \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/04/21/mike-tyson-punches-passenger-airplane-tmz/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">repeatedly harassed Tyson\u003c/a>, according to reports, which led the former boxer to punch the man multiple times. (Authorities declined to file charges against Tyson for the incident.) On May 3, a fan in Las Vegas \u003ca href=\"https://www.al.com/sports/2022/05/mike-tyson-has-another-angry-interaction-with-fan-when-woman-appears-to-try-to-pick-his-nose.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">attempted to stick their finger up Tyson’s nose\u003c/a>, which prompted an annoyed reaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnes’ behavior—throwing things at Tyson while he is on stage attempting to give a speech—is in this same category of fans going too far. Many people, it seems, feel entitled to violate Tyson’s personal space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyson is not perfect. He has done some reprehensible things. But to portray him as a brute is a reductionist and racist point of view of a complicated man. Regardless of one’s image or status, no one deserves to be called a racist slur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13913381\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 480px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13913381\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-1020x1530.jpg\" alt=\"A middle-aged white man holds a bag of marijuana and a large joint, dressed in a marijuana-themed suit and bucket hat covered in leaves.\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-1020x1530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-800x1200.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-160x240.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/05/20220420_MikeBarnes-10.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mike Barnes poses for a portrait in a gaudy marijuana-themed costume at the 420 Hippie Hill event on Apr. 20, 2022 in San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Amaya Edwards)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The So-Called ‘Progressive’ Bay Area\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Barnes’ comments should not only make us interrogate one dimensional views of Mike Tyson, but it should also make us think critically about how we view race relations in the Bay Area. Often, the Bay is hailed as a racially enlightened, progressive haven where everyone is respectful of each other’s identities, culture and humanity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a Black person in this country, living in a “progressive” place does not mean a reprieve from the smothering presence of racism; it just means your suffocation happens in the shadows. Our experience encountering anti-Black hate speech is not an isolated one. We just happen to have it on tape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This incident is about more than just one word said by one man on one day. It’s a case study; a harsh, slap-to-the-face reminder that anti-Black racism is alive and very well, even in San Francisco. Barnes weaponized the power he holds as a white man in this country to disarm and dehumanize both Tyson and ourselves—a microcosm of the racial power dynamic inherent in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11905492","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Taking the Power Back\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Black people must get through each day with a cloud over our heads, knowing that as our proximity to whiteness increases, so does the likelihood that we may be the victim of racism. Power coupled with ignorance is a terrible combination. It’s why everyone should strive to better understand the ways in which the n-word has been and continues to be weaponized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That word from the mouth of a white person is a reminder of the ideology used against our ancestors to justify the inhumane atrocities of chattel slavery. It was the word shouted in hate by white mobs as they lynched Black people without due process of law. It was the word ordinary Black folks heard through ringing ears as they were brutalized by police simply for demanding their right to vote. It was the word \u003ca href=\"https://www.businessinsider.com/buffalo-shooting-suspect-had-n-word-written-on-gun-2022-5\">painted onto the barrel of the Buffalo shooter’s gun\u003c/a>. A white person saying the n-word is a reminder of the things that have been denied to us; the ways we have been treated as subhuman; how we have been forced to make a way out of no way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, in that grand tradition of those who came before us, we are attempting to create something proactive out of a negative experience.

Across 87 minutes, Oriol effectively breaks down the great number of cultural and legal barriers that could have prevented B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs from becoming global stars with record sales exceeding 20 million. And he does it from a uniquely personal perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the Los Angeles group managed to get out from being under gang affiliations, and the danger that posed. (B-Real recounts getting shot in the back by rival gang members in the 1980s.) Second, they had to wheedle their way into a hip-hop scene sorely lacking in Latino representation. (Cypress Hill was the first Latino rap group to go platinum.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third, they had to stay out of jail while publicly flouting anti-marijuana laws all over the world. (Much is made here of the fact that Cypress Hill were one of the first artists to openly and enthusiastically smoke weed on stage nightly, including during a now-infamous appearance on \u003cem>SNL\u003c/em> that \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/U3CJ4AO5-p4?t=169\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">earned them a lifetime ban\u003c/a> from the show.) Fourth, they needed to transcend genres. A major source of their success in the 1990s was winning over crowds at alternative rock festivals like Lollapalooza and the UK’s Reading Festival. (They warmly recall their time on the road with Nirvana and Hole here.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezoTkEIivrY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> explains exactly how Cypress Hill smoothly scaled all those hurdles. And the trio’s combination of savvy, tenacity, talent and plain old-fashioned good luck is fairly remarkable to behold. One particularly delightful portion features DJ Muggs admitting he’d never heard the word “concept” until Def Jam’s Bill Stephney told him Cypress Hill needed one. Muggs went home, pondered it, then told his friends: “Y’all gotta be the Cheech and Chong of this motherfucka.” (Stoners will be thrilled to hear that the weed movie legends do show up for a bizarre interview.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain nuggets in the documentary seem tailor-made to delight hardcore fans—particularly some early demos, recorded before B-Real had landed on the nasal delivery that gave Cypress Hill their unmistakable sound. But casual viewers will enjoy it as a story about triumphing over odds, and one that also happens to come with some hilarious anecdotes. (The night Sen Dog took too many mushrooms and got into a fight with a hat someone threw onstage is worth a viewing alone.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13906331']That’s not to say the documentary doesn’t take some liberties. The narrative that Cypress Hill were underdogs because they were from the West Coast doesn’t hold up to even casual scrutiny. And there’s an unchecked assertion by one commentator here that Cypress Hill is the biggest selling hip-hop group of all time. They’re not—the Beastie Boys are. (The story of Cypress Hill luring away the Beasties’ percussionist Eric Bobo in the ’90s is told in some depth here, so knowledge of the New York trio’s success shouldn’t be news to Oriol.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it’s impossible to finish watching \u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> without a heightened respect for Cypress Hill. Not just because they took Southern California Latino culture to a worldwide audience, but because they made it look easy when it patently wasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> is also a reminder that when Cypress Hill was calling for the legalization of cannabis 30 years ago, it wasn’t just a schtick. They constantly advocated for the proposal at a time when—nearly three decades of reggae anthems like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QkVTx2d88\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Tosh’s “Legalize It”\u003c/a> aside—such a prospect still felt impossible. That B-Real owns a chain of dispensaries now (see: \u003ca href=\"https://drgreenthumbsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Greenthumb’s\u003c/a> in San Francisco’s Mission District) is a major vindication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The documentary closes with a juxtaposition that drives home the heart of the movie. Shortly after seeing Cypress Hill receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—the first hip-hop group to do so—the credits roll with a section dedicated to the plethora of their friends who didn’t make it. That these three misfits from South Gate did defies almost all of the odds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>‘Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain’ premieres Wednesday, April 20, at 8pm on Showtime. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sho.com/titles/3509312/cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Premiering on 4/20, the film shows Cypress Hill overcoming tough odds to achieve success and massive cultural impact.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1705006972,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":true,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":15,"wordCount":877},"headData":{"title":"New Cypress Hill Documentary 'Insane in the Brain' Chronicles a Blazing Triumph | KQED","description":"Premiering on 4/20, the film shows Cypress Hill overcoming tough odds to achieve success and massive cultural impact.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"Article","headline":"New Cypress Hill Documentary 'Insane in the Brain' Chronicles a Blazing Triumph","datePublished":"2022-04-15T13:00:13.000Z","dateModified":"2024-01-11T21:02:52.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}},"sticky":false,"templateType":"standard","featuredImageType":"standard","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","path":"/arts/13911949/cypress-hill-documentary-showtime-insane-in-the-brain-estevan-oriol","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>If you come to \u003cem>Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> expecting weed smoke, raucous live footage and a gritty back story—congratulations!

(Much is made here of the fact that Cypress Hill were one of the first artists to openly and enthusiastically smoke weed on stage nightly, including during a now-infamous appearance on \u003cem>SNL\u003c/em> that \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/U3CJ4AO5-p4?t=169\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">earned them a lifetime ban\u003c/a> from the show.) Fourth, they needed to transcend genres. A major source of their success in the 1990s was winning over crowds at alternative rock festivals like Lollapalooza and the UK’s Reading Festival. (They warmly recall their time on the road with Nirvana and Hole here.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ezoTkEIivrY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ezoTkEIivrY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> explains exactly how Cypress Hill smoothly scaled all those hurdles. And the trio’s combination of savvy, tenacity, talent and plain old-fashioned good luck is fairly remarkable to behold. One particularly delightful portion features DJ Muggs admitting he’d never heard the word “concept” until Def Jam’s Bill Stephney told him Cypress Hill needed one. Muggs went home, pondered it, then told his friends: “Y’all gotta be the Cheech and Chong of this motherfucka.” (Stoners will be thrilled to hear that the weed movie legends do show up for a bizarre interview.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certain nuggets in the documentary seem tailor-made to delight hardcore fans—particularly some early demos, recorded before B-Real had landed on the nasal delivery that gave Cypress Hill their unmistakable sound. But casual viewers will enjoy it as a story about triumphing over odds, and one that also happens to come with some hilarious anecdotes. (The night Sen Dog took too many mushrooms and got into a fight with a hat someone threw onstage is worth a viewing alone.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13906331","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>That’s not to say the documentary doesn’t take some liberties. The narrative that Cypress Hill were underdogs because they were from the West Coast doesn’t hold up to even casual scrutiny. And there’s an unchecked assertion by one commentator here that Cypress Hill is the biggest selling hip-hop group of all time. They’re not—the Beastie Boys are. (The story of Cypress Hill luring away the Beasties’ percussionist Eric Bobo in the ’90s is told in some depth here, so knowledge of the New York trio’s success shouldn’t be news to Oriol.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, it’s impossible to finish watching \u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> without a heightened respect for Cypress Hill. Not just because they took Southern California Latino culture to a worldwide audience, but because they made it look easy when it patently wasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Insane in the Brain\u003c/em> is also a reminder that when Cypress Hill was calling for the legalization of cannabis 30 years ago, it wasn’t just a schtick. They constantly advocated for the proposal at a time when—nearly three decades of reggae anthems like \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6QkVTx2d88\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Tosh’s “Legalize It”\u003c/a> aside—such a prospect still felt impossible. That B-Real owns a chain of dispensaries now (see: \u003ca href=\"https://drgreenthumbsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dr. Greenthumb’s\u003c/a> in San Francisco’s Mission District) is a major vindication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The documentary closes with a juxtaposition that drives home the heart of the movie. Shortly after seeing Cypress Hill receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame—the first hip-hop group to do so—the credits roll with a section dedicated to the plethora of their friends who didn’t make it. That these three misfits from South Gate did defies almost all of the odds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-800x78.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>‘Cypress Hill: Insane in the Brain’ premieres Wednesday, April 20, at 8pm on Showtime. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sho.com/titles/3509312/cypress-hill-insane-in-the-brain\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/13911949/cypress-hill-documentary-showtime-insane-in-the-brain-estevan-oriol","authors":["11242"],"categories":["arts_1","arts_69","arts_75","arts_990"],"tags":["arts_8054","arts_5665","arts_3077","arts_13672","arts_10342","arts_10278","arts_831","arts_3078","arts_8404","arts_585"],"featImg":"arts_13911959","label":"arts"},"arts_13910331":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_13910331","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"13910331","score":null,"sort":[1646996404000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"rightnowish-chaney-turner-cannabis-commission-oakland","title":"Up In Smoke: Cannabis, Crime and Creating Equity","publishDate":1646996404,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Up In Smoke: Cannabis, Crime and Creating Equity | KQED","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC5960840567\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A storm’s been brewing over legal cannabis in Oakland.

Our industry has experienced massive burglaries since 2020. During the summer of 2020, there were actions happening across the country in regards to George Floyd and the continued police violence against Black people and Black bodies. Some people used that opportunity to target cannabis operations: dispensaries, cultivation sites, delivery services, warehouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: The way that these burglaries happen is you have caravans of people that will roll up to a spot stealing whatever they can get their hands on: product, cash, electronics, whatever they could take, they took. Some have been more organized with people who actually have weapons. Some of these cannabis operations were targeted multiple times, and it hasn’t stopped. People don’t feel safe!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: And with your position as the chair of the Oakland Cannabis Regulatory Commission, what have you seen as a response both from stakeholders and from the police?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: The cannabis community is really frustrated. And so a lot of the frustration is the response time and also the lack of communication from OPD and the city when there is a violent burglary that has happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: … The police response should not be hours. If my home or my business has been burglarized I expect their response to be immediate, and the frustration is also because cannabis operators pay some of the highest taxes to the city of Oakland. It further harms equity and small operators who are trying to build a life and some type of wealth for them and their families. I’m specifically talking about women and POC and locally owned businesses. Those are the ones that we have to protect because they’re really hemorrhaging and people are desperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: Ok so, the folks working in the cannabis industry are historically anti-establishment, I mean they’ve been criminalized by the police, but now as people are strategizing on how to increase safety, and one of the option is to work with police… which is a major shift. How have you seen this play out?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: As someone who is a lifetime resident of Oakland and also someone who advocates against police violence…when we’re talking about keeping our communities safe, we have to take into account that we need more affordable housing, real affordable housing. We need jobs that pay above minimum wage. You know, people are trying to find ways to survive. And does that mean that people need to go and rob folks? No, but I can’t speak for people in certain situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: … One of the responses from OPD to operators was for them to hire armed security and to have them on the roof and shoot at people who are attempting to ya know burglarize their spaces. That’s not what we want. Ya know, the cannabis community is not calling for violence. I want to see better solutions around public safety other than just adding more police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: As someone who has historically advocated against over policing and police violence you’re now in a position where you are working with police to deal with the issues the cannabis industry is facing. I’m just wondering, how do you hold that tension?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Morally, it’s challenging [laughs] you know? But I also make sure that I use my position to get as much transparency and accountability when possible… During our November meeting, you know, we had OPD Chief Armstrong speak on the robberies and I’m also very grateful to have Commissioner Corder, Tracey Corder, who does abolitionist work… And it’s important to have a body of people who are not going to have all the same views, but we can respect each other’s views. And when it comes to police accountability, I feel that in general, we do a good job diverting any unnecessary funds… At the same time with this position, I just can’t make it about myself, and so during the last meeting, when there was a proposal of possibly of adding extra officers? Well, Chaney, the Oakland resident, I’m like, no, but there’s also business owners who are looking for them to do their work. And so if that does pass, if that does happen, we still need to make sure that they’re held accountable to the actual police work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What role does the issues around banking and having money on hand, how does that play a part into this discussion or does it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: It does somewhat… So for people to understand… Cannabis businesses have no access to banking like your traditional type businesses, and so usually there’s a lot of cash on hand and or you might have to use an ATM machine, get your cash and then pay for your medicine. And for years, ya know, advocates have been pushing for safe banking so that cannabis businesses can have less barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen (narration): To be clear: marijuana is still federally illegal. So in order to follow federal law, many banks don’t work with cannabis businesses… In California, this leads many small businesses to only work in cash. And there can be A LOT of cash on hand. Sometimes millions of dollars. Making them targets for theft or worse. \u003c/em>\u003cem>So it makes sense why folks are pushing for cannabis businesses to get access to banking. Recently federal legislators have been working on the SAFE Banking act and even though it’s got bipartisan support, it’s been unsuccessful in getting signed into law. But Chaney thinks Safe Banking won’t solve everything…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Robberies are happening with businesses in general. Louis Vuitton has access to banking. Nordstrom’s has access to banking and they’re still being robbed… And so I want people to understand that banking won’t stop robberies. Banking hasn’t stopped robberies for any industry… Do we need [banking]? Yes. But we also need to make sure that whatever passes through the Senate with SAFE Banking, that it’s still equitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Small businesses and Black people in general, I don’t care what business you’re in, already face discrimination when we’re going for small business loans and we need to make sure that when the safe banking does passed that it’s inclusive and equitable and not just catering to large corporate multi-state operators. They’re the ones that’s trying to go around the country and pretty much be the Walgreen’s of cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What is the remedy to this perfect storm that you’ve laid out of issues that small cannabis retail spots are facing right now?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: One of the things that we would like and we’ve seen a little bit since the Thanksgiving weekend robberies, there was communication that came from OPD. They had received information that there was possibly going to be an attempted robberies on New Year’s Eve. There was video footage of these caravans that was scoping out some potential spots, and so operators who caught that footage got on it, sent it over to OPD. OPD posted it on their social media. Emails went out…Those types of things are preventative. To my knowledge, there were no robberies that happened over the weekend of New Year’s Eve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: In regards to security, during our last commission meeting, there was a proposal of some funds because we do get funds from the state each year to strengthen our cannabis programs, asking for additional funds for some operations to have some security. Also, the funds to better fortified spaces. In my opinion You can only have so much security and police overtime, that’s not a long term solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: We’ve been talking about robberies of cannabis businesses in Oakland… but it’s more than that, what do you see as the bigger equity issue here?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: You know, if the robberies continue to happen, I think we’ll lose more equity businesses. You can only be robbed so many times like, you know, Blunts and Moore has been robbed multiple times. And for one, it’s not fair. It’s not fair for people, coming from these experiences and backgrounds, whether it’s being formerly incarcerated, you know, or just being poor, right, and working your way up to having an actual, you know, cannabis operation only for it to be burglarized and vandalized so many times… We need to find ways to keep these people hopeful. Because people are losing hope and if they lose hope, we’re going to lose businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: If I’m somebody that’s still is on the unlicensed market witnessing all this happening to people who made it, I’m like, Hell, nah. I’m not like, Nah, I’m stay over here trapping, doing my own thing and stay in my lane right here. We need to get rid of all of these barriers and find out ways to keep our community safe so that people can be encouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

No, but I can’t speak for people in certain situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: … One of the responses from OPD to operators was for them to hire armed security and to have them on the roof and shoot at people who are attempting to ya know burglarize their spaces. That’s not what we want. Ya know, the cannabis community is not calling for violence. I want to see better solutions around public safety other than just adding more police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: As someone who has historically advocated against over policing and police violence you’re now in a position where you are working with police to deal with the issues the cannabis industry is facing. I’m just wondering, how do you hold that tension?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Morally, it’s challenging [laughs] you know? But I also make sure that I use my position to get as much transparency and accountability when possible… During our November meeting, you know, we had OPD Chief Armstrong speak on the robberies and I’m also very grateful to have Commissioner Corder, Tracey Corder, who does abolitionist work… And it’s important to have a body of people who are not going to have all the same views, but we can respect each other’s views. And when it comes to police accountability, I feel that in general, we do a good job diverting any unnecessary funds… At the same time with this position, I just can’t make it about myself, and so during the last meeting, when there was a proposal of possibly of adding extra officers? Well, Chaney, the Oakland resident, I’m like, no, but there’s also business owners who are looking for them to do their work. And so if that does pass, if that does happen, we still need to make sure that they’re held accountable to the actual police work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What role does the issues around banking and having money on hand, how does that play a part into this discussion or does it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: It does somewhat… So for people to understand… Cannabis businesses have no access to banking like your traditional type businesses, and so usually there’s a lot of cash on hand and or you might have to use an ATM machine, get your cash and then pay for your medicine. And for years, ya know, advocates have been pushing for safe banking so that cannabis businesses can have less barriers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen (narration): To be clear: marijuana is still federally illegal. So in order to follow federal law, many banks don’t work with cannabis businesses… In California, this leads many small businesses to only work in cash. And there can be A LOT of cash on hand. Sometimes millions of dollars. Making them targets for theft or worse. \u003c/em>\u003cem>So it makes sense why folks are pushing for cannabis businesses to get access to banking. Recently federal legislators have been working on the SAFE Banking act and even though it’s got bipartisan support, it’s been unsuccessful in getting signed into law. But Chaney thinks Safe Banking won’t solve everything…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Robberies are happening with businesses in general. Louis Vuitton has access to banking. Nordstrom’s has access to banking and they’re still being robbed… And so I want people to understand that banking won’t stop robberies. Banking hasn’t stopped robberies for any industry… Do we need [banking]? Yes. But we also need to make sure that whatever passes through the Senate with SAFE Banking, that it’s still equitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: Small businesses and Black people in general, I don’t care what business you’re in, already face discrimination when we’re going for small business loans and we need to make sure that when the safe banking does passed that it’s inclusive and equitable and not just catering to large corporate multi-state operators. They’re the ones that’s trying to go around the country and pretty much be the Walgreen’s of cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: What is the remedy to this perfect storm that you’ve laid out of issues that small cannabis retail spots are facing right now?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: One of the things that we would like and we’ve seen a little bit since the Thanksgiving weekend robberies, there was communication that came from OPD. They had received information that there was possibly going to be an attempted robberies on New Year’s Eve. There was video footage of these caravans that was scoping out some potential spots, and so operators who caught that footage got on it, sent it over to OPD. OPD posted it on their social media. Emails went out…Those types of things are preventative. To my knowledge, there were no robberies that happened over the weekend of New Year’s Eve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: In regards to security, during our last commission meeting, there was a proposal of some funds because we do get funds from the state each year to strengthen our cannabis programs, asking for additional funds for some operations to have some security. Also, the funds to better fortified spaces. In my opinion You can only have so much security and police overtime, that’s not a long term solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Pen: We’ve been talking about robberies of cannabis businesses in Oakland… but it’s more than that, what do you see as the bigger equity issue here?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: You know, if the robberies continue to happen, I think we’ll lose more equity businesses. You can only be robbed so many times like, you know, Blunts and Moore has been robbed multiple times. And for one, it’s not fair. It’s not fair for people, coming from these experiences and backgrounds, whether it’s being formerly incarcerated, you know, or just being poor, right, and working your way up to having an actual, you know, cannabis operation only for it to be burglarized and vandalized so many times… We need to find ways to keep these people hopeful. Because people are losing hope and if they lose hope, we’re going to lose businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaney: If I’m somebody that’s still is on the unlicensed market witnessing all this happening to people who made it, I’m like, Hell, nah. I’m not like, Nah, I’m stay over here trapping, doing my own thing and stay in my lane right here. We need to get rid of all of these barriers and find out ways to keep our community safe so that people can be encouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.
