The burgeoning cannabis industry is getting a fresh spotlight with the debut of “High Science,” a show that delves into the innovative world of legal marijuana, the program, set to premiere on YouTube this November 27, is the brainchild of Scottsdale-based event promoter Ed Leclere, influenced by his personal experience with cannabis during his recovery from acoustic neuroma surgery, the show promises to be as much educational as it is entertaining, charting the lives and works of individuals who see the plant as more than just a means to get high, as reported by Phoenix New Times.
On a mission to showcase the vast potential and versatile application of marijuana, “High Science” presents a father-son duo, Rich Batenburg Jr. and Rick Batenburg III, who take viewers on a global tour through the cannabis industry, the show ranges from Arizona to international destinations like Australia and Jamaica, it features revered figures in cannabis cultivation and innovation, like Moe Asnani and Chip Boyden of iLAVA, and trailblazers like Yuri Downing, who secured one of the first grow licenses in Arizona, as detailed by Phoenix New Times.
Emmy Award-winning producer David McKillop, renowned for his work on reality TV staples like “Duck Dynasty,” has joined forces with Leclere as the show’s president and creative director, giving “High Science” the benefit of his storytelling expertise and industry knowledge, “He came out of retirement and the rest is history — here we are,” Leclere told Phoenix New Times, expressing his honor of having McKillop as a partner in this pioneering project on plant-based medicine and its significance in society.
According to a Phoenix.org interview with McKillop, the series is not just exploring the burgeoning business of cannabis but also delves into the profound, often emotional, stories of individuals whose lives have been transformed by the plant, with veterans finding solace for their PTSD and children with epilepsy finding a new lease on life, this emotional depth adds a layer of realism and authenticity to the series, differentiating it from traditional scripted reality television.
