Who's Donnie?
Over 60 Years in the Making...
I'm thrilled to finally share my journey, a lifetime woven with the highs, the history, and the heart of cannabis culture. I’m Uncle Donnie, also known as Donald Pareira, and I’m here with 60+ years of cannabis stories, told one puff at a time.
I’ve walked beside legends, including the King of Pot himself. I’ve served as a Cannabis Light Worker, spreading knowledge, healing energy, and high vibes wherever the plant called me. The cannabis history I’ve held close for decades is rising like smoke — bold, true, and ready to be heard.
I’m finally ready to tell it all. From the underground days to modern legalization, this is my truth — unfiltered, unforgettable, and just getting started — and I’m bringing you along for the ride.
This is my rebirth. From the smoke, the Phoenix has risen. A second life. A new blaze. No filters.
Tune in to my new Potcast and video series, kicking off with a powerful conversation with James Loud, and many more pioneers to come. Trust me… You haven’t heard stories like these. The truth is coming. The journey is beginning. We’re just getting lit.
An outside view...
Donnie’s life is part outlaw tale, part spiritual memoir, and part hands-on masterclass in survival. With over 60 years of cannabis history, his journey is a captivating narrative that intertwines smuggling operations in the shadows of the Golden Gate with spiritual awakenings in Miami Beach meditation circles. Donnie, known as Uncle Donnie, has never followed the script.
Raised on rebellion and raw talent, he was schooled in the shadows of a changing cannabis world. A master craftsman, rebel soul, and maritime tactician, Donald Pareira’s journey spans six wild decades — and now he’s sharing it all on his Potcast. No filters. No regrets.
These stories aren't made up. Donnie has lived them. You’ll explore the untold legacy of a man who rolled with spirits and smuggled with saints. It's not to be missed!
