[Video Podcast] Defying Bad Laws in the Black Hills

High Times’ Outlaw Series is where the people who lived through the real cannabis underground tell their own stories. In this new episode, host Holly Crawford talks with South Dakota’s longtime rabble-rouser, Bob Newland—a ranch kid turned renegade who pivoted into full-tilt cannabis and hemp advocacy.

Bob traces the moments that lit his fuse, from founding SoDak NORML days to organizing the Hemp Hoe Down and standing with Pine Ridge leaders as federal agencies mowed down sovereign hemp fields.

Then it gets personal: close calls, courtroom whiplash, and the naked hypocrisy of officials who partied in private and punished in public. Bob unpacks why “legalization” hasn’t fixed much at all, how fear kept good people silent, and what real spine looks like in hostile territory.

It’s a sharp, funny, unfiltered ride through the Black Hills—part history lesson, part call to action.
