Don joins us to discuss his passion for cannabis and everything that paved the way to Sin City Seeds. Originating from one of the states with the harshest cannabis laws - he had previously worked to keep out of the public eye, even going by "D" for a time, so this episode felt particularly revelatory. This one should be intriguing to breeders because Don gives us a little background on the iconic staples of Sin City Seeds, some of the recent drops, and the exciting new crosses coming later this month.Song used in interview: Acrylic Dreams by The Magnetic Buzz
