When it comes to stoner tech, it doesn’t get much more historic than the Proto Pipe. Invented in 1970 by an artist and self-taught machinist from Denver named Phil Jergenson, the Proto Pipe was essentially the first pipe explicitly designed with the cannabis consumer in mind. It’s a truly ingenious smoking device that’s loaded with so many different tools and features that it’s become known as the “Swiss Army knife of paraphernalia.”
In this episode of Cannthropology, host Bobby Black speaks with Phil Jergenson’s brother and partner, Richard Jergenson, who reveals the colorful history of how this iconic piece of paraphernalia came to be, how it evolved over the years, how others attempted to steal their idea and their company, and how it’s stood the test of time after half a century.
The World of Cannabis Museum Project presents: Cannthropology—the potcast that explores the history of cannabis culture one artifact and interview at a time. Hosted by World of Cannabis executive director and marijuana media icon Bobby Black.

The World of Cannabis Museum will showcase the influence of cannabis in art, music, film, news, medicine, and politics throughout the past century. From the early days of prohibition and "reefer madness," to its modern-day mainstream momentum and everything in between: from the legendary growers and breeders who created and propagated all of the iconic strains, to the smugglers who distributed them across the globe; from the activists who have fought for legalization, to the celebrities who have embraced it; from America’s headshops to Amsterdam’s coffeeshops; from the counterculture of the 1960s, the excesses of the '70s, and the Drug War hysteria of the '80s, to the rise of medical marijuana in the '90s and the march toward legalization and mainstream acceptance in the new millennium—all of this and more we plan to explore in this unprecedented exhibition.
