High Ones is dead! Long live High Ones!
While YouTube’s most “stoned” channel was breaking audience records, major audiovisual production companies from Europe and America managed to shut it down. Armed with the power of a multinational corporation, censorship took less than two minutes.
But High Ones isn’t backing down. The team has worked on a new version, free of the flaws that could have caused its closure. Today, the show returns with a first teaser featuring the incomparable Alkpote and the legendary Roi Heenok. In a discussion about cannabis legalization, Roi Heenok delivers a tone that is nothing short of stratospheric and entirely unique.
Roi Heenok and his unconventional take on cannabis legalization
Gérald Darmanin, a former top cop in France, has been appointed Minister of Justice. His first official act was to declare an all-out war on drug traffickers, prioritizing the isolation of major dealers in prisons. As a result, in France, the debate over legalization has been pushed aside.
While cannabis is being progressively legalized in some American states, in the Netherlands (a favorite destination for French teens seeking “weed tourism”), and even in Spain, in France, a series of tragedies in urban neighborhoods has led the Ministry to adopt a tougher stance. Yet, before Jospin’s presidential defeat in 2002, which allowed the late Jean-Marie Le Pen to reach the second round for the first time, the subject was beginning to gain some traction. But things didn’t go as planned.
In the show’s excerpt, when Alkpote asks Roi Heenok about legalization, he offers a mind-blowing response, staying true to his unmistakable style:
“If they share the money with the kids who brought the culture, those who ended up incarcerated and had their belongings seized — like the BMWs, the M2s, the M3s, or the Mercedes AMGs — then I salute them. But if they don’t share it with the ‘inmates’, the real whites, and the authentic stuff rooted in their wardrobes, that’s a whole different story.”
However, given the current situation, drugs are likely to remain in the streets for a long time to come.
