"It's an amazing origin story about one man's fight against the establishment. Adam takes us on an amazing, tell-all journey of the new Wild West of hubris and greed while navigating a treacherous world, hoping to attract suburban moms, dads, and stoners alike," said Robert Friedman, CEO of Bungalow Media + Entertainment.

Once the most recognized brand in cannabis, the high profile rise and equally sensational fall of MedMen is an historic tale about the birth of an industry, and the behind-the-scenes realities of how marijuana transitioned from back alley to mainstream. The series is a story of ambition, activism, greed, and politics and will reveal how Bierman and his partners fought against the establishment to create a multi-billion-dollar industry.

"I'm excited to be able to share what it took to bring weed to Main Street America," said Bierman Co-founder and Former CEO of MedMen.
"Living at the intersection of criminality, politics, finance and pop culture; I dealt with gangsters, shakedowns, loan sharks and government corruption at the highest level. It's a dynamic story and the Bungalow teams' commitment to sharing the account with the world has been invigorating."
