With his long, colorful dreadlocks, braided beard, hemp clothing, and home full of crystals, Marc Rossman — better known as Soma — comes across more like an Eastern guru than a Dutch seed merchant. That’s because this Amsterdam-based American ex-pat has devoted his life to the hippie lifestyle, new age spirituality, and the sacrament of cannabis — earning himself a reputation as one of the world's most beloved breeders. 

In another double-length episode of Cannthropology, host Bobby Black gets back in touch with his old friend Soma to ask him about his early life, his experiences with psychedelics, his move to the Netherlands, his reputation as a spiritualist, and how he became one of the most respected cannabis breeders.

The World of Cannabis Museum Project presents: Cannthropology—the potcast that explores the history of cannabis culture one artifact and interview at a time. Hosted by World of Cannabis executive director and marijuana media icon Bobby Black.
