Racing prodigy Randy Lanier shot to stardom in the ‘80s at the Indy 500. Much of his career was self-funded — through a secret double life (THREAD) #SmokedPodcast
Randy served 27 years of a life sentence in federal prison. Prosecutors said he was America’s most prolific pot smuggler at the time. “There was no other smugglers bringing in the amount that we were at one time,” he said. #SmokedPodcast 
In our new podcast 'Smoked,' we explore Florida’s — and the nation’s — changing relationship with marijuana, and what happens to people like Randy, convicted in one era and freed in the next. #SmokedPodcast miamiherald.com/news/state/flo…
We talk to the people involved in making legal medical marijuana a reality in Florida, like @JohnMorganESQ #SmokedPodcast
We asked former medical marijuana lobbyist and current Florida Agriculture Commissioner @NikkiFried about next steps in a state that now takes a kinder view of the drug Randy once smuggled #SmokedPodcast
@nikkifried Now that Randy lives in a world where medical marijuana is legal in 33 states, his daughter has joined the budding industry #SmokedPodcast hrld.us/2jL6w1C
