Fresh off receiving the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, Keith shares his decades-long journey advocating for marijuana reform, his memorable encounters with High Times founder Tom Forcade, and the pivotal role of Playboy and High Times in spreading the legalization message. Keith discusses the changing landscape of cannabis legalization, the ongoing challenges for federal reform, and reflects on his personal cannabis preferences — from rolling classic torpedo joints to steering clear of oils and vapes.
