The Roll-up bonus episode: How cannabis helped Carlos Santana get “truly hip and wise”

Leafly PodcastsPublished on October 7, 2020

A true child of San Francisco, Carlos Santana grew up in the city and went on to create music that defined the California sound. Cannabis played a key role in his artistic and personal journey. Even today his image (seen here in a public mural) inspires San Franciscans to live lives of beauty and meaning. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)

In this bonus ep, Leafly’s David Downs talks with legendary musician Carlos Santana about music, cannabis, San Francisco, and Santana’s new cannabis brand, Mirayo.

As a child, Carlos Santana watched his mother use local cannabis herbs to make homemade topical salves. “Once I learned what I learned from mom, and then the things that I learned in the Haight-Ashbury from the Hippies, then I realized that there were two different frequencies on this planet: the frequency of self-deception; and the frequency of self-discovery,” he told Leafly.

Mirayo is the next step on his journey of self-discovery.

Carlos Santana: choose between “self-discovery or self-deception”
