#54 | Magic King Brussels

We travel to the heart of Europe, Brussels, to visit the Magic King cannabis shop and meet its founders Gjino and Mateo. They tell us all about their vision, their passion for cannabis and their partnerships with renowned brands like Cookies, Green House, Krush Grinders and The Bulldog. In the news segment we discuss the European Web Survey on Drugs from EU drugs agency EMCDDA, cannabis reform in Thailand, a French decree banning the sale of CBD flowers and leaves and two recent studies exploring cannabis compounds in the fight against corona virus. And why did some colleagues of Gjino and Mateo get 90.000 euro from the police? Ed Rosenthal’s Big Book of Buds is highlighted in the history section; Derrick reads from a chapter about the Cannabis College in Amsterdam.
