Episode: 041 - Resurrecting the Skunk: The 1987 Skunk #1 Lives Again

In this must-hear episode, we’re joined by Charles Stockstill—U.S. National Guard Soldier, certified ganjier, and outspoken cannabis advocate—who pulls up with breaking news that sends shockwaves through cannabis history. Charles breaks down the rediscovery of one of the most infamous strains ever to bless the culture: the original 1987 Skunk #1, brought back to life by Minerva Medicinals.

Charles shares the wild backstory of how Kirk stumbled upon the long-lost Skunk #1 seeds during a clean-out of a foreclosed house in Maine, uncovering a true genetic time capsule. Against all odds, those seeds were preserved, popped, and cultivated—reviving the loud, unmistakable skunk that helped define an era of cannabis.

From genetic preservation and strain authenticity to the cultural impact of Skunk #1 and why this resurrection matters today, this episode is a deep dive into legacy cannabis, modern stewardship, and the passion it takes to protect the plant’s true history. If you care about real genetics, real stories, and real skunk—this one’s for you.
