Introduction: Jonathan Wall and the Absurdity of His Case
At 1:10 · chapter starts 1:00
Mariana van Zeller sets the scene with biting clarity: Jonathan Wall faced 10 years to life in a federal supermax in Baltimore for moving cannabis across state lines — the exact same substance available legally in Washington DC just 45 minutes away. She notes that while he sat in a cage, cannabis corporations were going public on stock exchanges, capturing the central irony of his story. Wall confirms he's still on probation and couldn't fly to Los Angeles for the interview. Mariana invites him to start at the beginning — growing up near Baltimore in Harford County.
