We did an episode on hash, hash trafficking.

Most Americans don't know a lot about hash, actually.

So it's the first drug I tried and the first drug that any of my friends in Portugal tried.

And, you know, back then when I was a kid and trying hash for the first time, I always sort of wondered, where does this come from?

And we knew that it was Morocco.

Everybody knows that the majority of hash in the world comes from Morocco.

But now I thought, well, I'm the unique opportunity to actually go and try to figure out how it gets here.

And so we started in Portugal.

And I reached out to a bunch of my girlfriends in Portugal and said, hey, let's meet at this time in the rocks where we used to, like, hang out and hide and smoke hash.

And...

And we'll film a scene of us talking about while we're smoking.

So I actually smoked on camera for the first time, did drugs on camera.

Yeah, it's been decriminalized since 2001.

So completely legal to do.

Amazing success story.

HIV rates, incarceration.

Amazing.

All of it, yeah.

So what they did is, yeah, they decriminalized it.

Yeah.
