Hold on, hold on, hold on the 74 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 5: entourage effect. Yeah. 75 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: Nice. 76 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: So the whole point of these flavors that we developed 77 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: was to get that entourage. You know, a lot of people, 78 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 4: you know, don't really understand the difference between disolate and 79 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 4: live resident and live rosen obviously, but when it comes 80 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: down to it, you're you're getting a little bit less 81 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: THHC from live resin as opposed to dissolate because the 82 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: distillation process you basically extract you know, as much of 83 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 4: the THHC as you possibly can. Now with the live resonant, 84 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: especially our live resin, we have that full entourage effect 85 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 4: with all the natural terpenes because the live resin, you know, 86 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 4: when you process it, you're the whole point of it 87 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 4: is to kind of get that full plant feel and 88 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 4: that's what that that whole plant high is like, and 89 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: that's why it's so different and so much more enjoyable, 90 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: at least in our opinion. 91 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: Right of course it yours that this is how we 92 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: feel about it. Yeah, I'm sure that's what people are 93 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 2: telling you as well too. 94 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I know. We've had a lot of great 95 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: responses from it. People seem to love it. Every single 96 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 4: every single live Cannabis show we go to it, it's 97 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: we've got lines people trying to get that. 98 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: What are those differences, Connor, you said from the three 99 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: from the live raw and the why is this so differently? 100 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 4: Just just a quick explanation. It's it's different types of 101 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 4: yielding h So just a brief understanding. So disolate is 102 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: like the act that the full process is extracting nothing 103 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: but the THHC in that process because it's such a 104 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 4: large process and destroying the efficacy of the rest of 105 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: the plant. You're only extracting the THHC at that point, 106 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 4: or or you know, dis pieces of other plant matter. 107 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 4: The epustry whole process right live resin, however, is the 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 4: process of taking live cannabis, flash freezing it and then 109 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: extracting it after it's been flash frozen. And the reason 110 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 4: they do that is you get more. You get, like 111 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: I said, the whole entourage effect. You get every single 112 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 4: cannabinoid that's coming from that full plant, as opposed to 113 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: the disolation process where you destroy pretty much most of 114 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 4: the plant. Now, the live rosin, you can't even really 115 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 4: lump the live rosin in because it's it's such a a. 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 5: Very niche but delicious product, but it's. 117 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 4: You know, the yield on it is so much smaller 118 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: than say something like live resin or you disolate. So 119 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 4: that middle ground of resin is kind of where we 120 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 4: want to sit because we feel like we can get 121 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 4: that full effect as well as kind of showcase our 122 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 4: ability to kind of encapsulate every single one of these 123 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: flavors as well as the the I guess our our 124 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 4: our main mixologists called it a Frankenstein of creating these 125 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: these uh these profiles right here and rehomogenizing the entire 126 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: strain back into itself as a live resin extract. 127 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 3: So you guys are all live resin. 128 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 4: Well except for our vapes. Our vapes are distillate. So 129 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,559 Speaker 4: this right here is a lotlve resin. 130 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: But and this is the big thing that's taken off. 131 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 2: Now you guys are in California and. 132 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 4: Oklahoma, right right, So I mean to to kind of harp. 133 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 4: We've we've kind of nailed it on both front. So 134 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: we wanted to have the budget disalate. The budget Dissolate 135 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 4: is not really an effective budget at this point because 136 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: it's the flavor that we're able to produce because we've 137 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 4: been so ingrained with flavor for so long, hence the black. 138 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: You know, we come from the vapes, so we come 139 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 4: from the vape industry. We know what we're doing when 140 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: it comes down to mixing flavors, especially with distillate. So 141 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 4: I can guarantee you if you get a taste of 142 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: any of our vapes and you compare it to say, 143 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 4: you know, someone that's been around almost as long as us, 144 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: maybe a little even longer, you'll see a very significant 145 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 4: difference in the actual flavor profiles. You'll get like a 146 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: full robust puff at each time, as opposed to you know, 147 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 4: some smaller or cheaper you know, Disolate or I guess 148 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 4: smaller companies that have are still kind of working out 149 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 4: those kinks when it comes down to creating those flavors 150 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 4: because it's not an easy feet to come. You know, 151 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 4: take like literal bland displat and just so everyone knows, 152 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: when you extract dislate, it is completely bland. You don't 153 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 4: have any essence of flavor. Everything is added after the fact, 154 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 4: So you get botanical terpenes and you get cannabis drive terpenes. 155 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: Now in California, I saw my ADHDC. 156 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 3: No, I like it.
