Episode 140 of the Karma Koala podcast reads like a Los Angeles 1940’s film noir plot but instead of development, big agriculture or capital infrastructure at the heart of this tragic story, it is now cannabis that sits at the heart of modern day southern Californian politics, business and power structures.
I talk with San Diego medical cannabis producer, Darryl Cotton, and listen and learn from his insights into the untimely death of skateboarder, surfer and medical cannabis license owner (twice over) Biker Sherlock
In my conversation with Darryl I immediately find myself thinking of Roman Polanski’s classic 1974 film Chinatown starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway.
Darryl, as a long term medical cannabis producer has always been aware of the issues surrounding cannabis laws and licensing in the state but it was the awful circumstances of Sherlock’s death that brought all these issues into a much sharper focus and his desire to both help the family left behind and change the way cannabis is done in California.
We talk about
The circumstances of Biker Sherlock’s death , inconclusive findings by the coroner and the inevitable dead ends his wife, a private investigator and Darryl have had to deal with whilst attempting to learn more about what happened to Biker.
Biker, Amy & Their 2 children
