[Video Podcast] Why Big Corporations Fear Weed And Why Success Isn’t About Cool: Josh Kesselman Speaks Out

High Times is back in your ears.

Episode one of the new High Times With Josh Kesselman Podcast is here. RAW Rolling Papers founder and High Times publisher Josh Kesselman sits down with Jacob Karp, the mind behind Arizona’s first licensed solventless company, The Inventing Room. What follows is a trip through raids, risks and revelations, with plenty of laughs and lessons along the way.

Inside the Conversation

• The Corporate Gauntlet
  Josh explains the cycle every disruptor faces: first they try to buy you, then they copy you, then they sue you for something ridiculous like the size of a font.
• Who Fears Weed
  Pharma, alcohol, tobacco, even weapons companies. Josh breaks down why cannabis scares industries that thrive on pain and division.
• Lessons in Failure
  Jacob opens up about a terpene deal gone wrong. Josh remembers ignoring a product flaw for years. Mistakes that hurt but also made them sharper.
• The Tribe
  Cannabis is about community. About sharing knowledge by the fire. About independent media holding the line. High Times, Beard Bros, all the outlaws who refuse to fold.
• Joy vs Cool
  Josh tells the story of buying a Ferrari, feeling miserable, then trading horsepower for horses and finding real happiness in a Prius. Cool fades. Joy stays.
• The Two Trains
  How to build your dream without jumping off the job that feeds you. Work harder in the beginning, ride both trains, then step onto your own.

Why You Should Listen

This isn’t a podcast about hype. It’s about truth. It’s about the fight for culture, for independence, for joy. Josh and Jacob keep it raw, funny and honest. Perfect for anyone who knows this plant was built by dreamers and rebels, not suits.
