Bryan \u201cTow Down'' Theriot had a thriving music career in 2000 and a major label record deal with Elektra Records. His debut video, \u201cCountry Rap Tune\u201d featuring H.A.W.K. and Big Pokey was a hit.\xa0 Around the same time, he started a grow operation to provide \u2018refreshments\u2019 in his H-Town studio and it quickly turned a profit.

Since Cannabis legalization was some time away, he unfortunately served over 7 years.\xa0 During time served, he came up with an idea of how to\xa0 give back to his community to others incarcerated due to cannabis possession. In 2021 Bryan got together with legendary graphic artist Mike Frost and the duo founded Dope Heads.\xa0 Digital art trendsetter, Johnny Kash, joined the team to complete the vision.

The team will donate a substantial amount of the net earnings from Dope Heads NFTs to organizations designed to help non-violent drug offenders and their families.\xa0\xa0


The first \u2013 the idea for The Dopey Foundation sprung from the Dopey Podcast.\xa0 The podcast\u2019s mission has been to create a space for addicts that deals with addiction and recovery in a non judgmental way that helps to end the stigma of prison and drug addiction and develops community. Much of the community has had occasion in their lives to interact with the legal system.\xa0 A nonprofit organization under IRS Code section 501(c)(3), is currently being formed with a mission to support addicts and alcoholics in their struggles.\xa0

Dope Heads\u2019 partnership with Houston based non-profit, Legends and Legacies is unique and offers direct aid to his Houston community.\xa0 \xa0Legends and Legacies, supports children who have experienced parental addiction and incarceration. The money donated will be used to hire staff to do the training our organization provides \u2013 everything these kids miss out on.
