1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: He's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBSY, Boston's new radio.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, Dan Watkins. As we

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: move into our third hour of this evening, my name

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: is Dan Ray. We're talking about cab cafes here in

5
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: Massachusetts for people who want to smoke and im vibe

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: in marijuana activity. Cannabis cafes here in Massachusetts. And I

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: believe that the Cannabis Control Commission will probably vote on

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: this and formalize it as early as tomorrow, which is

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: why we're talking about it. I think it is a

10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: fade de complee, but I think it's important to talk about.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: I hope you would agree, and we'll continue with our conversation.

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: Let me go next to Steve out in Fort Devons Hi. Steve, welcome,

13
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 2: youre next to the Nightside.

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 3: Hey Dan, thanks for having me here. I appreciate always

15
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: good to chat with you all. When we talk about

16
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 3: smoking stone high, those are terms from way back sixties seventies, right.

17
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: What happens You get into a different level of consciousness

18
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: when you smoke or edibles for that matter. Like the

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: woman you had on earlier, she didn't like people that smoked.

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: But if people took edibles in a less a milligram

21
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: or whatever. It changed you in a different way. You

22
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: get on a different level of consciousness. And that's what

23
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: it's about. Just like the gentleman who drives, you know,

24
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: he goes a ton, he's on a different level of consciousness.

25
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 3: That's it, you know, So let me ask you this.

26
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: You know a lot about this. He didn't want to

27
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: answer my questions or didn't feel he could do. You

28
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: think that his when he's driving under the influence of

29
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: whatever he's under, that his reactions are as quick and

30
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: he is as alert as if he was Yeah.

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 3: I think yeah, because he's more aware of his surroundings

32
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: because you're more in touch.

33
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: So, okay, so you're saying just all right, no, just

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: understand that. What you're saying is that if everybody was

35
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: using edibles or smoking or whatever, the roads would actually

36
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: be safer.

37
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, hold on. It depends on the amount.

38
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 3: Like edibles are certain milligrams, so many milligrams. Okay, so

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: smoke and I don't know how many milligrams would be

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: in that. But if you're in a lower milligram, you're

41
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: on a different level of consciousness, right, You're more aware

42
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: of your surroundings. You're in touch with nature. You know,

43
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: you're just well if you're.

44
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: In touch with nature. Look, Steve, if you're in touch

45
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: with nature, I understand what you're saying, you would not

46
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: be able to get into a car accident. But my

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: question is, right, is there a similar level of alcohol

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: which would put me in touch with nature? I'm a

49
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: beer drinker in a one drinker. Is there a similar

50
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: level of alcohol which would which would allow me to

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: to be in touch with nature and actually drive safe

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: under the influence of the right influence of alcohol.

53
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Zero point three?

54
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so zero point three. So now I don't think you.

55
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: Really mean I don't think you mean.

56
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: I don't think you mean zero point three. I think

57
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: that probably you mean point zero three.

58
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: Yeah. Point zero three.

59
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, zero point three would make you so much so

60
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: drunk as this you couldn't find your way out of

61
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: your car.

62
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: You definitely be on a different level of consciousness then yeah, yeah,

63
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: you'd be unconscious. No, but uh, but I did wanna

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 3: go back to uh like that research and how do

65
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: we find out? You know where to find out is Jamaica?

66
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: So the raw Safaris?

67
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: Oh for you?

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 3: And if they're available to and they're willing to do that.

69
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: You would find out all the research you wanted, because

70
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: let's face it, this plant has been on this planet

71
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 3: for eons, you know, and it's been introduced. They had

72
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 3: from the fifties. They stopped it out.

73
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: By the way, I can add one I can, Steve.

74
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: I can add one factoid for your argument, which I

75
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: think is important to add, and that is, prior to

76
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: nineteen hundred, there were no motor vehicle accidents involving marijuana.

77
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: It's interesting, they were absolutely true.

78
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: That's statistic. By the way, many people are stunned by that,

79
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: But there were no motor vehicle accidents prior to nineteen

80
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: hundred that were that involved marijuana.

81
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 3: Is another factor.

82
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: Because cobs were not invented, Steve, I'm pulling your.

83
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: Leg, damn Also off, I just want to put this

84
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: one out there. What no one has ever gotten into

85
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: a fight when there's you know, uh, smoking or taking

86
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: edibles or whichever. No, they mellow, they're happy, you know, uh.

87
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: And and that's it. When you're drinking alcohol, forget the

88
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 3: gloves are off. You know that the sas rone comes

89
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: out the liquid muscles.

90
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: Right, what do you let me ask you this, Can

91
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: I ask you a question? What do you do for

92
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: a living? Which? What do you do? What do you

93
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: do for work?

94
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: Uh? So I'm in uh in the environmental industry with

95
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: lead poison kids. Uh so abatement in the lead abatement industry.

96
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 3: So uh, pretty.

97
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: Much you go into you go into a house and

98
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: you de lad the house pretty much?

99
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, pretty far? Yeah, yeah, pretty much.

100
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: Do you do that while well, do you do that

101
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: while under the influencer?

102
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 3: No? No, because I don't know Dan See, I'll tell

103
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: you I've tried it, and and that's why I say

104
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 3: I get on a different level.

105
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is, if you're if you're very

106
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: confident in this this intoxican okay. And it seemed to

107
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: me that if you're telling me that you're at a

108
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: different level, a higher level or whatever, and you're better

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: driving your car when you're under a certain amount of it,

110
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: I assume that in your work you probably would be

111
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: a better.

112
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 4: Definitely, So why don't you smoke it?

113
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 2: Why don't you smoke it or ingested at that proper

114
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: level all day?

115
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 3: You wouldn't smoke it. I wouldn't smoke it. I would

116
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 3: take an edible with anything.

117
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 2: Why don't you do that? Then you're.

118
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: Thinking different I'll stop thinking differently, and I'll start thinking

119
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 3: about other things, and you think on a different level.

120
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: But what I'm say you're telling me, Steve, think what you're.

121
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 3: Saying, I could focus. Yeah, you're telling me. I haven't

122
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: tried it. You're gonna give me your influence of me.

123
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: Now I'm gonna try. Yeah.

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: No, what I'm saying is if you truly believe what

125
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: you're telling me, and I'm not sure you don't. If

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: you do, uh, And that that this is controllable for people,

127
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: and that people can take it at just this perfect level,

128
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: and that makes them better drivers in their automobiles. Uh,

129
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: and maybe would make you better at your job. That's

130
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: all I'm That's all I'm asking. And by the way,

131
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: keep that statistic the next time you call in mind,

132
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: prior to nineteen hundred, they never was an automobile accident

133
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: involving the overuse of marijuana.

134
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: I know that. Yeah, all right, all right, than one

135
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: other question? One other question, all right, regod, And you've

136
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: brought up psilocybin.

137
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: All right, No, I haven't brought up psilocybin.

138
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 5: And I'll leave.

139
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned LC keep that door open. That's common.

140
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let me tell you something. I'm sure that

141
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: it's all coming down the road because the people who

142
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: are advocates of that, and by the you know, it

143
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: looks I am not an advocate of it. You understand that.

144
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: Okay, Now I understand that. I know. I respect everyone

145
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: in their theirs and everything else, and that doesn't mean

146
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: I don't like you just because you have something different.

147
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 3: I still I love you. Dan. You're a good man.

149
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: and uh, you know, just because you know you might

150
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: differ with everyone else, everyone else does.

151
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: There's no one like different with everyone else on everything.

152
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter. Yeah, don't feel bad. Okay, thanks Steve.

00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: all I'm trying to do is reason with people, and

158
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 2: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Six one seven, two, five,

159
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 2: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty.

160
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: But all you potheads out there, just remember, because that's

161
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: a fact. There were no there was never an automobile

162
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: casualty involving the use of marijuana prior to nineteen hundred.

163
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: A Night's Side after.

171
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: a different viewpoint than you. I want to know what

00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: your thought is. What are you thinking on this one?

173
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 6: Bob?

174
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 5: I don't I don't like when marijuana period. I don't

175
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: like drinking period. Anything to just to affect your kind inabilities,

176
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 5: It's all rubbish. I'm not a favorite favor of having

177
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: restaurants or coffee marijuana shops we can sit down and smoke.

178
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 5: I don't know what Ryland I guess is legalized. We

179
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 5: I guess I'm dead set against this supposed vote tomorrow

180
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 5: that's gonna legalize.

181
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's gonna what effect Rhode Island this is.

182
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: This is a cannabis vote in Massachusetts. So I'm sure

183
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: that if.

184
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: They o.

185
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: Hello, I'm here. I was just trying to engage in

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: a conversation with you and saying that if they vote

187
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: this way in Massachusetts, I'm sure Rhode Island won't be

188
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: far behind.

189
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: I'm not so sure. Okay, they didn't legalize gambling, Well,

190
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 5: it probably did before Massachusetts. Maybe you're right.

191
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's at least one casino I'm aware of down there.

192
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: I have no idea.

193
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a few in Massachusetts too.

194
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: Well, that's true. No, no, no, no, yeah, we got wet.

195
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: They were the first.

196
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: You're right, that's okay, that's that's not a problem.

197
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: I mean, as far as.

198
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 2: Now normal. Normally, Bob, you and I are kind of

199
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: on the opposite side politically, but in this one, I

200
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: think we're kind of similar. So we found out.

201
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 5: You're saying it's all right, there's no accidents of course

202
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 5: with the marijuana before nineteen hundred. No, I mean, how

203
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 5: many cars were on the road then, Well.

204
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 2: Of course you got the joke. I'm not sure Steve

205
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: got the joke initially. I mean, everybody pulls these statistics

206
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: out of their head. You know, the fellow that called

207
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: last Hour and said that he's a better driver when

208
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,119
Speaker 2: he's under the influence of marijuana.

209
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: Yes, a joke.

210
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: I don't buy that. And then Steve was kind of

211
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: agreeing with him on that. So I just wanted to

212
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: point out a fact that's true. There were no automobiles

213
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: before nineteen hundred either, and there were no and I'm

214
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: sure someone out there, some I'm you know, someone who's

215
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: half stone tonight is going to.

216
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 7: Say, Man, I heard it on the radio. The guy,

217
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 7: the dude in the radio told me that that there

218
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 7: were no accidents before nineteen hundred, so the radio it

219
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 7: must be right.

220
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, Bob, you were so perfect almost to

221
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: the end that but we've got to put you in

222
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: the water. Good night, all right, that was just a

223
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: little slip of the tongue at the end.

224
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 6: There.

225
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: Dave is in New Hampshire. Dave, welcome back next next

226
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,720

Speaker 8: Thanks for the tote bag.

00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: By the way, all right, what do you think of it?

229
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: Great?

230
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 8: It worked out good.

231
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: Pretty good quality, isn't it. That's that is a that

232

Speaker 2: is a strong canvas tote bag. The people at at

Speaker 2: College Hype do a great job of their products.

234
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

235
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 8: I went and got it out of the post office

236
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 8: and I just happened to be going shopping, so it

237
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 8: came in handy with all the other ones I got.

238
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 2: Excellent. Well, use it proudly in New Hampshire, okay, and

239
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: as long as it had you, you know, I appreciate

240
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: your endorsement. I'm glad that we sent it to you,

241
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: and I hope that some of our listeners will go

242
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: to night gear dot com and check it out. It's

243
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: a great Christmas gift, easy relative. You know, it's not expensive.

244
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: They're not expensive, but they're really good quality. What's your

245
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 2: take on the topic we're talking about tonight, Dave, Well,

246
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: I I don't.

247
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 8: Care one way or the other whether they have it

248
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 8: or they don't.

249
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: You know.

250
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 8: Oh, by the way, just so you know, they do

251
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 8: have tests for marijuana. Because I've worked on federal jobs.

252
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 8: They can have a yearine test, and they can also

253
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 8: tell you if you smoked a month ago or two

254
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 8: months ago. They can tell by cutting your hair when

255
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 8: you had when you were stoned or had marijuana.

256
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: Right. The test that I'm talking about is the test

257
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: that a police officer is able to invoke at the

258
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 2: side of a road. Then I help that it's you know,

259
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be doing urine tests on the side

260
00:13:58,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 2: of the road.

261
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

262
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: I don't think even that blood alcohol content tests would work.

263
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 6: Uh.

264
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: But but there's just nothing that's easy. They pull you

265
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 2: over and you're high on marijuana. I don't think that

266
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: they can go into court and say based upon you

267
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: know our knowledge. They they can, they can talk about

268
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: their observations, but the defense lawyers will jump up and say,

269
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: did you take any test on Dave. They're gonna say, no,

270
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: is there any test that you can take on No.

271
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: If they grab me and I'm drunk as a skunk

272
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: and and I'm blown up, you know a point one four,

273
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 2: they can introduce that into evidence, and that has probated

274
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: value in court in it just about in any state

275
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: in the Union as far as I know.

276
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, they yeah, the I know they check your eyes.

277
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 8: I don't know what they can tell by your eyes,

278
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 8: but I know they I can't do it. You know

279
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 8: the sobriety tests they give you where you walk one

280
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 8: point in front of the other, and I I can't

281
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 8: even do those things when I'm straight.

282
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: Well, I got to tell you there's a lot of people.

283
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: As you get older, it becomes more difficult. I could,

284
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: I could, I could do those when I was younger easily,

285
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: but I wake up in the morning and you try

286
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: to do one of those. Sometimes all of us have

287
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: problems as you get older. We have problems with balance

288
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: and and anyone any police officer who's giving that test

289
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: to someone who's under the age of fifty, I think

290
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 2: they know they're going to fail. So I agree with you. Yeah,

291
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: absolutely right. Try try this at home, but be careful

292
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: so you don't fall down.

293
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

294
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 8: I have another little story that I went to bunker

295
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 8: Hill College and then I went to Birmingham State. Yep,

296
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 8: I had. I graduated with high honors out of bunque

297
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 8: Hills Yep. You know whatever they coat, whatever they called it.

298
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 8: That I had. I had a party. My father was

299
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 8: in the house, and I had a CoP's wife. She

00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 8: made she made brownish with mariwana. I put him on

301
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 8: the table, put him on the table, and I had

302
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 8: two loves that wasigns and some other stuff. My father

303
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 8: was there just to make sure we stopped, we didn't

304
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 8: wreck his house and stuff, which we didn't. We were

00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 8: laughed so hot in my life. He was so mellow.

307
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 8: It was funny.

308
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I believe me that that can be

309
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: very powerful. And uh and I like brownies. I prefer

310
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360

Speaker 2: one more in here before the break, let me go

329
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: to Clarence and mass be Clarence. We only got a

330
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: couple of minutes before the news, but I'll be happy

331
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 2: to hold you over. You go right ahead, sir, so.

332
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: Dan, thanks for having me on. What were the break

333
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: So when you go to a bar, right, don't you

334
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: need to have a designated driver to get you home?

335
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 2: Well, they always say friends don't let friends drive drunk,

336
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: and there are a lot of people who have become

337
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 2: more conscious of that, and there were people who will

338
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: volunteer when they're going out with a group of people

339
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 2: and say, hey, tonight, I'm going to be the one

340
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 2: that doesn't drink because I'm driving. And maybe next week.

341
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: You know, if you me and a couple of other

342
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: guys go out next week, you're the designated driver.

343
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, just like the collar before you conscious, you're conscious

344
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: to know that I cannot drive. If you're drunk, you're

345
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: gonna drive. I'm glad you brought that up.

346
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, well again, I think that it's dangerous. You know,

347
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: do most people do? Most normal sized people. You're able

348
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 2: to have a beer with dinner at a restaurant and

349
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: over a couple of hours, can you drive home? I

350
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: think you can because they allow you to drive under

351
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 2: point zero eight.

352
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 3: Correct, as long as you have something in your system.

353
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 2: Right, and also your system washes out with beer, and

354
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: particularly with you know, with light beer. Okay, I will

355
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: admit that I can occasionally if I go out, if

356
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm driving, I'm very careful. I'll have I'll have one

357
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: beer and I'll wait to get home and have a

358
00:18:55,359 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: couple more once i'm home. But yeah, and part of

359
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 2: that is I really am fearful that you go out

360
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: some night and you imbibe too much and you just

361
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: have a fender bender and all of a sudden your

362
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: names in the paper.

363
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: Correct, And like I said the caller before, you're more

364
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: conscious of like you know what, yeah, not tonight.

365
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

366
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 3: On the other hand, with the alcohol, yeah, let's go.

367
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 3: You know, many times that has happened and bad things

368
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: have happened because of it.

369
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: Oh, no, no question.

370
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 3: The other on the other end as well.

371
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: But I assume that there are people who would either

372
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 2: imbibe with alcohol or marijuana who put themselves in a

373
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: position whereby they are a danger to themselves and a

374
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 2: danger to others. And the question is, the argument always

375
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 2: is with the marijuana folks on recreation, well, you got

376
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 2: wine and beer and alcohol, why can't we have on marijuana?

377
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: And I understand that argument, but I don't know that

378
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: you want to put a layer of marijuana drivers out

379
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 2: there on top of the people who are already having

380
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: been partying and having alcohol and wine. It doesn't seem

381
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: to me to be a logical argument to say, well,

382
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 2: we know that alcohol and beer and wine when abuse

383
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: can cause problems, let's throw marijuana into the mix as well.

384
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 3: I think the people on the marijuana make a more

385
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 3: conscious effort to be like, yeah, you know what, here's

386
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 3: the keys.

387
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think that amongst any group of people,

388
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 2: you're going to have some people who are responsible and

389
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: some people who are irresponsible. That's my thought. Hey, Clarence,

390
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 2: I will I recall hearing from Is this your first

391
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: time calling the show?

392
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 5: Oh?

393
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 3: No, Clarence is called a number of times.

394
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'm going to have to remember Clarence. Then

395
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 2: Massbie's a beautiful place. Are you retired down there or

396
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 2: are you still working down in Masby? I think if

397
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 2: anybody who calls them the Cape, I always think they're retired.

398
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:58,640
Speaker 3: You know, Oh no, it's not Florida.

399
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: Well in the winter, it's not. That's for sure. That's

400
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 2: for sure. All right, Clarence, thanks for listening, Thanks for participating.

412
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 2: coming to Massachusetts and that very important vote on the

413
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 2: by the Cannabis Control Commission might actually be formalized as

414
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 2: early as tomorrow.

415
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: Night Side though with Dan Ray, I'MBZ Boston's news Radio.

416
00:21:54,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: We're talking about cannabis cafes, marijuana cafes coming to Massachusetts

417
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: in various forms. By the way, cafes associated with places

418
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: like yoga studios. Cafes basically just go down to a

419
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: local bar and have a couple of beers. You'll be

420
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: able to go down to the local cafe here in Massachusetts,

421
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 2: the cannabis cafe and smoke a joint or a couple

422
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: of joints or whatever you want. You have some gummies

423
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 2: or whatever, some maybe brownies. No, I mean this is

424
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: going to become the law in Massachusetts. The regulations will

425
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: be promulgated the Cannabis Control Commission and intends to take

426
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 2: the vote tomorrow. It has come along. It started with

427
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 2: medical marijuana, then recreational marijuana, but with limitations, and now

428
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 2: Katie bar the door. The horses have left the barn

429
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: and we're talking about it, which I think is interesting.

430
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 2: And we've had a variety of responses. Let me go

431
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: to Phil and Revere. See what Phil thinks. Phil, how

432
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,000

Speaker 4: It's Joe actually Joe.

434
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, right, you know that's Rob is gonna tell me? Well,

435
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 2: he said Joe, but I think you probably said Phil,

436
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: so Joe. No, you said Joe. Joe in Revere. Kind

437
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,840

Speaker 2: right ahead. We just lost him. Great, Okay, well that

439
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: was a solid call, Rob. Joe, please call back. Okay,

440
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 2: I was joking when you were on the air. Is

441
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: it if this is he calling back? Robert's put him

442
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: back on here because that was unfair to him. When

446
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,000

447
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 4: not going to come to my cafe. I already had

448
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 4: a night side being a made up and I was

449
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 4: going to serve you my finest tang. Okay, But chilled, Dan, chilled.

450
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 4: But people that don't smoke, Yeah, don't understand. I know

451
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 4: you don't smoke.

452
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: I don't so.

453
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: People that don't smoke it totally against everything. Okay. I

454
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 4: do have anxiety, like some of your other callers. If

455
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: you smoke a certain strain, which is indica, it calms

456
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 4: you down.

457
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

458
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 4: I can honestly tell you if I smoke a joint

459
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 4: and I get in my car and I drive a

460
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: half hour later, I am not impaired, all right now,

461
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 4: you can. I know you have different feelings, different thoughts

462
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 4: on this. You've had a lot of callers telling you

463
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 4: these things.

464
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 3: Dan.

465
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 4: Do you have any friends that smoke?

466
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 2: But I have had friends over the years when I

467
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: was younger, but I got a.

468
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 4: Bus to college. I mean, you never smoked in college.

469
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: No, no, I.

473
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: me tell you my story. Okay, I guess I think

474
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 2: it's important. My dad was a World War Two veteran.

475
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 2: He smoked two packs of camels unfiltered every day. I

476
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: came to hate the smell of any smoke. Okay. He

477
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 2: went cold turkey in nineteen sixty four when the Surgeon

478
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: General's before it came on about the dangers of smoking,

479
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 2: and he went just cold turkey. Me it was he

480
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: threw them away, and I remember much.

481
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 4: What was he throwing frying pan?

482
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 9: Zaya?

483
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no.

484
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 8: No no.

485
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: But you know, look he was a tough minded individual. Okay.

486
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 2: He served two and a half years in the during

487
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 2: World War Two, and they will they he had willpower. Anyway.

488
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 2: The point is that I can remember being playing in

489
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 2: the Little League and these, these are these are memories

490
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: I have of driving. My dad was a cigarette smoker,

491
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 2: and the other coach smoked cigars stogies, and that combination

492
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: in uh in a in a car in April with

493
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,440

Speaker 2: So it's And also I wanted to play sports. I

496
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: played baseball and hockey in high school, in a little

497
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: bit in college, and that was my I I always

498
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: believe that smoking stunted growth. I had no interest in it.

499
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: I just didn't, Okay, So.

500
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 4: I didn't either until it just happened.

501
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: Okay. So now you you sound to me like you

502
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 2: have benefited from the medicinal aspects of this is what

00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: you're telling me.

504
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 4: I'm all right, Look, no, I ain't gonna lie to you.

505
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 4: When I was eighteen in high school, we all did it.

506
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 4: You know, it was part of the routine. But it

507
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: does calm me down. Like I have problems sleep and

508
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: I of anxiety. I smoke indica, which is a strain

509
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 4: that calms you down. And I put the Fox twenty

510
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 4: five weather on news on. I don't make the weather.

511
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 4: I fall asleep.

512
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this. Here's my question, and

513
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 2: it's an honest question, and you'll give me an honest answer.

514
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 2: If if you were to drive after you smoke marijuana,

515
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: do you think that your you would be as alert

516
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 2: and your reactions would be as quick if you had

517
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: not been under the effort.

518
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 4: I don't think at my age and what I do

519
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 4: and what I've been doing, it affects me at all.

520
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: If I look if I sat in a room for

521
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 4: four hours and smoke ten joints, of course it's gonna No,

522
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 4: I'm not.

523
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: Suggesting that I'm not. That would be a loaded question.

524
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: I'm not going to ask you a loaded it's a

525
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: loaded question. I'm asking you if you smoked, you know,

526
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 2: half a joint or whatever you've got in your carded drive. Hold,

527
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: do you think that your reactions would be? You know,

528
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, someone stops in front of you, someone veers,

529
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: you know, out of out of the lane into your lane.

530
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they're exactly the.

531
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 2: Same, fairy. That's fine.

532
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: And what I want to say is the person that

533
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: the person that works at Fidelity has two glasses three

534
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: glasses of wine before they go home, is more dangerous

535
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 4: than I am. Okay. And the person that's on their

536
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: cell phone dan, oh god, they're more dangerous than anybody. Okay.

537
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 4: So I'm just saying, you've gotten a lot of calls.

538
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 4: This could go on for hours, buddy, because you get

539
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: people calling you saying one thing a lot of people

540
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 4: negative because they don't smoke themselves.

541
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: But let me ask you this question. Okay, when when,

542
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 2: and again this is an honest question, when medicinal marijuana

543
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: came along, I became convinced that they were people that

544
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 2: that benefited from it. Okay, oh yeah. Then and then

545
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: when the next step was let's uh, let's legalize it,

546
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: but you have to smoke it in the privacy of

547
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: your own home or whatever. You know, you can't. Now

548
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: we've gone one step beyond. We're going to have cannabis cafes.

549
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: Well, I think gets rid of a lot of bad

550
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 4: people that don't just sell weed. This selling kills the

551
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 4: selling cope there selling you know.

552
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: Oh so, so you you think that by legalizing marijuana

553
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: that's going to eliminate the cocaine dealers and the heroin

554
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: dealers and the fentanyl deal.

555
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 4: It takes business away from them.

556
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean no, I think the

557
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 2: marijuana smoker like you is real different because I don't

558
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: think that you're the sort of guy that would have

559
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: been dealing with fentil. I just think that you're too

560
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: intelligent that Okay, all right, I gotta run, Joe, Thanks

Speaker 9: Well, I'm going to get to the point, but I

578
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 9: just want to say first that tonight, and this is

579
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 9: relevant in a way, tonight is the night that Otis

580

Speaker 9: Redding died. He and he flew his plane right a

581

Speaker 9: mile and a half from my house. And now it

582
00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 9: was drizzly and it was foggy. But now that nineteen

583
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 9: sixty seven, and now we're talking about this, how do

584
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 9: we know that they were all tripping? Three or four

585
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 9: of them died, And I remember it clearly you're going.

586
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 9: You know, so you might say he, you know, flew

587
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 9: his plane to his death because he was un drugs.

588
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: I have no idea of that. I mean, you know,

589
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about it. I do see that

590
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: he died on December tenth, nineteen sixty seven, and sad

591
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: that you know, he passed away much too young. I remember,

592
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: you know, sitting on the dock by the.

593
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 3: Bay Bay all that.

594
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and yeah he was His next off was Madison, Wisconsin.

595
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 2: Were you in Wisconsin at that time?

596
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 9: Yes, I was laying right here and woke up in

597
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 9: the middle nine. I heard. I heard it all happen.

598
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 9: I'll never forget it.

599
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,480

601
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 9: Right.

602
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,680

603
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: it might have been weather difficulty. What's your thought on

604
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: cafe to cannabis cafes?

605
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 9: I want to say my thought is at this point,

606
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 9: I don't really being in Wisconsin, I don't think I

607
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 9: know anybody that doesn't drink except be down the street

608
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 9: because his mother. You know, it's just when you take drugs,

609
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 9: any drug or alcohol or anything. It's all subjective because

610
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 9: like I don't want to take a drug and I

611
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 9: might have a side effect, so I don't want to

612
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 9: get behind the wheel until I know what that drugs

613
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 9: would do to me.

614
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 4: Yep, you know.

615
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Well that's that's pretty much yef good how I

00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,240

00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 9: I mean, what a tragedy, I know, and I'm just

621
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 9: thinking about that.

622
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I suspect it probably was some sort of a

623
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 2: mechanical problem with the plane or something.

624
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 9: Well they say it was whether to that what you know,

625
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 9: nineteen sixty seven, everybody seemed to be doing drugs and everything,

626
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 9: But I just don't believe in getting behind the wheel.

627
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: We agreed, Yeah, we agree on that, Karen. You said that,

630
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 2: fa Thank you so much. Going to go from Karen

00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, right back, Hello Boston. I don't know. I

635
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 6: think you're opening I think you're opening up a can

636
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 6: of worms. Have a cafe, uh, just where people can

637
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 6: go and you know, smoke marijuana. I just don't think

638
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 6: that's a good idea. I know, in the state of

639
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 6: Ohio started out medical you know, that's that's all well

640
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 6: and good. Uh, and then you know they have their dispensaries.

641
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 6: But now we have recreational marijuana.

642
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 2: But do you have the cafes there or no? Are

643
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: we ahead of you on that?

644
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 6: No? No, not not yet. But I just don't you know,

645
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 6: but hey, you know, uh, it could spread. You know,

646
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 6: you never know.

647
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 2: I think I think it will. And I'm assuming from

648
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: what you're saying that you wouldn't be a fan of

649
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: cannabis cafes in Cleveland, door wherever.

650
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 6: No, no, I'm up here an actor.

651
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: No no, I no, no, no, I know that, But

652
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: I was trying to make it a literative cannabis cafes

653
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 2: in Cleveland.

654
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 6: No. And you know it has been my observation over

655
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 6: the years on people who publicly, even privately, uh, smoke marijuana.

656
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 6: H It puts them in a stupid and I don't

657
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 6: see really where they could successfully get behind the wheel

658
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 6: of a vehicle and control it.

659
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 2: Well, you've heard some of the callers tonight who are

660
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: convinced that they are better under the influence.

661
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, right right, Well that's yeah, I beg to differ

662
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 6: with them. This is a true fact of you know, observations,

663
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 6: what I've seen, and I know in my area there's

664
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 6: been a tremendous amount of hit skip accidents where the

665
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 6: perpetrators leave the scene of an accident, and I would

666
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 6: almost venture to guess that they, you know, are under

667
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 6: the influence one way or another. And they do stop

668
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 6: a lot of vehicles up in this area where they

669
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 6: have the occupants under the influence of marijuana. And that's

670
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 6: a no no, that's a no no.

671
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: But they'll keep keep doing it. Dallas. Always great to

672
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: hear your voice. Thanks for joining the conversation. How cold

673
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: is it in Ohio tonight? I'm assuming that you still

674
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 2: got some of that nasty cold stuff.

675
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 6: It got up to thirty seven was the highest today.

676
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 6: I don't know quite what the temperature is now, but

677
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 6: it's just it's a little bit lower.

678
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 2: Good yeah, good luck. Okay, we're going to get a

679
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 2: snowstorm this saying on Sundays, I suspect you might get

680
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: something before that.

681
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 6: Oh yes, just coming, just coming. Merry Christmas to you

682
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,320

Speaker 2: Merry Christmas to you and yours as well, Dallas, Thanks

684
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: my friend, talk soon.

685
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 3: VI.

686
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 2: Let me go next to Andrew and Rockland. Andrew, you're

687
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 2: gonna wrap the R I can always hold you over

688
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: if you haven't finished your thoughts.

689
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 10: I got two quick things then I hope all as

690
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 10: well with you. So I mean I could probably drink

691
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 10: a six pack maybe more and get from point A

692
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 10: to point B. Doesn't mean I should, doesn't mean it's legal. Uh,

693
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 10: And it doesn't mean that if a cop pulls me over,

694
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 10: he's not gonna know what I've been drinking. So the

695
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 10: same thing goes from marijuana.

696
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 5: Okay, you might think you're sober, but you know, definitely

697
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 5: not definitely sure As far as the cafes, go go ahead.

698
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 6: And open them.

699
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 10: But you opened up all these dispensaries. Where'd all the

700
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 10: tax money go?

701
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 6: When?

702
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: Not?

703
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 10: You know, our tax is not less like they said

704
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 10: they would be when they when they opened them.

705
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: What's going on?

706
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 6: You're gonna open these cafes?

707
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 10: What are you gonna do?

708
00:37:58,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 3: With the money we want to know.

709
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. Actually, there was a point in

710
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: time where I think, uh, some of the dispensers were

711
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: saying that there was too much tax money taken out

712
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: of them and they was coming into their profits.

713
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

714
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 2: And although they were happy to start, they weren't quite

715
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,240
Speaker 2: as happy. And uh they're hoping that maybe the taxes

716
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: would be let up. But you're right, I mean, we

717
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: we we're looking around. We're always looking around for revenue

718
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 2: here with Massachusetts.

719
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 5: We and that's the bottom line.

720
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 3: They're not going to open.

721
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 10: These cafes and distribute the tax money in the state

722
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 10: of Massachusetts. They're gonna end it illegally or or fraudulently

723
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 10: and line their pocket's not us. So you know, I'm

724
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 10: for it if it's legal and people are gonna you know, behave,

725
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 10: but you know it's not gonna happen.

726
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 2: So yeah, well that's a That's a big if, isn't it.

727
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: Andrew is always You're a great caller, and thanks for
