  • Join host Eli Harrington LIVE with Heady Vermont where we interview change-makers and catalysts in the northeastern cannabis community.
    This week, we've got one of our most special guests ever: Billy Greer, aka 'Billy the Kid'. Back in 1999, the Vermont-native Greer was convicted along with four other men of being part of a $1 billion international drug operation that unraveled in 1991 when barrels containing 54 tons of hashish worth $7 million were found floating in the St. Lawrence Seaway.
    Greer eventually served 19 years and 10 months total in prison in Canada and the U.S. and today lives back in his home state of Vermont -- as part of this Heady Vermont exclusive, we'll talk to Billy Greer about his role in Vermont cannabis history, and what he thinks about how cannabis is perceived today as it transitions from previously-illicit to presently-legal to commercial.
    Read more about Greer's case in a classic Seven Days interview by Peter Freyne (RIP): www.sevendaysv...
    This episode was presented by Green Leaf Central and directed by Shawn Cimonetti of Shawn Cimonetti Media LLC, Produced and Hosted by Eli Harrington, Location: JAM Creative Burlington, Vermont

      Now you going to brief synopsis of what it's like for a native that's got his hands in the dirt for 30 years watching these kids who got 456 successful Gardens under their belt absolute know-it-all Taco Ria don't even realize how obnoxious they're being and then when you don't want anything to do with them or you pull away from them they look at you like you're something wrong with you
