In this powerful episode of Tokes On NY, Ri sits down with author and cannabis icon Catherine Hiller, who’s been smoking weed daily for 60 years and has the stories to prove it.
Catherine shares the highs, risks, and radical honesty behind her book Just Say Yes, recently re-released with a new introduction by activist Steve DeAngelo. From dodging border patrols with a joint in her purse to attending the original Woodstock and watching NY’s legalization unfold in real-time — this conversation dives deep into plant culture, prohibition history, and the power of simply telling the truth.
