  • Ed Borg and Kyle Kushman
    May 16 2025

    Kyle Kushman and his longtime friend, Ed Borg reflect on 30+ years of growing history and culture. They share stories from the early outlaw days, trade hard-earned cultivation wisdom, and reveal how their community grew from an underground movement to a global phenomenon. This candid conversation blends practical grower tips with colorful tales, making it a treat for both home growers and cultural enthusiasts. They reminisce about sneaking 4:20 smoke sessions in the stairwell at High Times magazine back when public herb use was totally forbidden. They also recall the legendary pilgrimages to Amsterdam for the annual Cup events – a time when a tight-knit family of pioneers would reunite under the radar for the love of the plant. Beyond the nostalgia, the discussion covers how passion for cultivation has taken them across the world. A fateful offer from a Dutch coffee shop gave one guest the chance to move to Amsterdam and pursue his dreams openly. Meanwhile, Kyle describes leaving New York for California during the early medical era, finally able to grow freely under Prop 215 after years of hiding. Fast forward to today: they’re swapping notes on running a licensed farm in tropical Thailand, complete with inventive tricks like solar-powered lights to handle the short 12-hour daylight cycle! Even after decades, these veterans are still learning new tricks and staying humble. They admit that unexpected challenges can make a master grower feel like a beginner again – they’ve even looked up basic cloning tutorials online when things go sideways. On the flip side, they marvel at how much easier things are now compared to the old days of prohibition. Back then, you might plant four just to end up with one (accounting for thieves, pests, or the law), whereas today passionate growers can finally cultivate openly and abundantly. Through all these changes, one thing remains constant: their love for the craft (and the plant) keeps growing stronger.01:54 – Secret 4:20 Sessions07:59 – Amsterdam Life-Changing Move12:01 – Master Grower’s New Challenges25:21 – Generational Growing ShiftEnjoyed the chat?
