00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: it all right now. But we'll get to that, but

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: we we definitely have some cannabis news for you guys,

40
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: And I want to start off, I know Mark you

41
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: have some stuff, and I'm sure Blue you have some

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: making waves stuff. But I mean you call it making waves,

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: call it go green, call it cannabis news. It's just

44
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: not when cannabis goes bad. But High Times announces Hemp

45
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Cup twenty one, the People's Choice Awards, going down March

46
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: one through the fifth for submissions March twelve. The judge

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: kits are available sign up now, as High Times announced this, now,

48
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: this is kind of big, you guys in the aspect

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: of CBD is making a big, big splash in this

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: HEMP derived CBD brands can participate in the competition with

51
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: an entry fee of five dollars per entry. Competitors that

52
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: submit three to four entries will get one extra entry

53
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 1: for free, five to seven entries will get two more free,

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: eight to eleven entries will get three free entries, and

55
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: entrance with twelve or more paid inch trees will be

56
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: rewarded the five extra free entry. So it's crazy because

57
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: bottom line, when I really think of the High Times

58
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: Couple Award, I think of t E C right, But

59
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: with these they're sending these judge kits and this and

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: that I don't know how they're gonna I mean not,

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't legally mail out cannabis facts,

62
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, So unless they're going to

63
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: be hand delivering or you have to come and pick up,

64
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: which I don't know. I don't know if it's gonna

65
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: be more of a CBD thing, which I've read has

66
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: been more CBD products, which personally, I like, they're gonna

67
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: do CBD products in eight different categories, including hemp, flower

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: pre rolls, concentrate, bait, pins, edibles, taksters, capsules, topicals, and

69
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: pet products. So you know, I think they're gonna do

70
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: Joe is is. I mean, I would imagine that they're

71
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna have all the judges there and then all the

72
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: people voting or or you know, I mean, I'm I'm

73
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that some of the folks will be there, right,

74
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just gonna be a tight niche, you know,

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: not not so many people like as far as open

76
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: it's seen, it's gonna be a nationwide affair, right, allowing

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: consumers a chance to sample CBD products from brands across

78
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the United States. Judges kits are slated to be assembled

79
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: and distributed to consumer judges in March of of next year,

80
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: and the results of the competition revealed in May, so

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: people will start being able to try these products in March,

82
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: revealing the winners in May. From what I'm reading and

83
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing, it's more CBD products that they're leaning to.

84
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: And because of the time of the times for High Time,

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: like to play on words there, they can't get the

86
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: t HC stuff, so they're capitalizing on all this CBD products, which,

87
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: let's just face it, the CBD flower, as we talked

88
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: about on a previous podcast, Mark they're looking to figure

89
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: out how to regulate it more and how to distinguish

90
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: what is what because it is looking so good that

91
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: hip CBD flower is looking and smelling like one more

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be a virtual it's planned as

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: a virtual event. Well they're virtual kids that they're setting

94
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: out with the branded you know of course High Times

95
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: this and that. But they did not say when the

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: actual event. They said the results will be revealed in May,

97
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: not saying how yet, but you know, the judging kids

98
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be distributed in March, So when the when

99
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: the events were out there and we were going. I

100
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: kind of knew how the judging used to go, right,

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be we were judge. Yeah, we we did,

102
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: we did, we did judging. Did West Did West Coast

103
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: cure win that one? No, they West Coast here stopped

104
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: doing that ship long ago. They stopped doing it after

105
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: they won in Amsterdam. And then you know, things started

106
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: to change within those events, and how the biggest booths

107
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: seemed to always win. Well, you know, it was funny.

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: I remember watching that and I think that you know,

109
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: it was kind of like your biggest sponsor became the

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: biggest uh, the biggest wins and and and it was

111
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: weird because I think the people started noticing that, and

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: and not to take anything from those guys that did win,

113
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: because they certainly probably had some fantastic flowers, some fantastic

114
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: products and extracts and things of that nature. And there

115
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: was some small guys that won during those events as well.

116
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: So it wasn't you know, I wouldn't say all rigged,

117
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: but there was definitely some kind of you know, kudo

118
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: kudos and politics that was going on. But you know,

119
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: high times, it's such a stamp and a pillar in

120
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: our community for cannabis that you still gotta take your

121
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: hat off and you gotta you gotta wave at the

122
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: best men that for being out there. They've been out

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: the longest. I think they've been around since the seventies

124
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: or something like that, sixties or seventies. They've been around forever.

125
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: And you know who who else is has that kind

126
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: of a history in cannabis. I mean, you know, they're

127
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: they're it's hide times, you know, and like I said,

128
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: it's tempt derived. CBD brands can participate in the competition

129
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: with an entry fee of five per entry I mean

130
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: flower pre roll entries require two eight samples of one

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: or two grams each to be submitted. So it's gonna

132
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how they're you know, are they

133
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna take this for a while. But personally I like this.

134
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: I like the fact that they're going hard on the CBD,

135
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: which you know, hopefully these people that are doing this,

136
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: as you guys have alluded to in the past, it's

137
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: not gonna matter how big your display is, it's not

138
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: gonna matter how much you did. If people are getting

139
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: these judge kits and they start taking it and feel

140
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: like this cbeed Flower tastes amazing, makes me really relaxed

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: at night, makes me feel this, and that they'll be

142
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: able to say that because they're not gonna have that

143
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: influence right in front of them are at that event.

144
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: So kind of like where this is going to be

145
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: honest with you, Yeah, gets more, gets gets it out

146
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: there more and maybe open and opening people's eyes up

00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: a little more to all the benefits and you know,

148
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: with a big name behind it like that, I agree

149
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: with you, Joe, it's a good thing. And all products

150

00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: out there and you're a CBD brand and we have

156
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: several that we mess with, to be honest with you

157
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: as we say this, and I know Blue you're a

158
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: part of that interview with us with eating hemp, I

159
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: would love to see how eating hemp competes against cats

160
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: like this, because I really liked everything that eating Hemp

161
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: was doing from the ground up out of New York. Again,

162
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: I think that Eating Hemp is a is a pioneer

163
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: company for for the East Coast. You know, it's one

164
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: of those companies that you know, it's gonna be here

165
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: for a long time, providing quality product. It's not a

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: fly by night company. These guys have a legitimate, uh

167
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: backbone to stand on. They help write the legislation for

168
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: New York, they're constantly in the in the industry. They

169
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: have farms that they're working with, they're they're they're creating

170
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: new products. So they're very innovative. Um, this is something

171
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: that you know a lot of these companies don't do.

172
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: And and these guys have actually again brought the East

173
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: Coast on the map and uh in our building the

174
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: hemp the hemp world, I mean, the hemp world is

175
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: aside from just the flower that we smoke and that

176
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: we utilize for concentrates, the hemp world is is, I

177
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: mean questionably gonna be bigger, you know, because there's rope,

178
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: there's there's clothing, there's papers. Yeah, and the by products

179
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: from it all, you know, are ridiculous. So and and

180
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: so the mark it's gonna expand. And I just see

181
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of people have been diving

182
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: into you know, cannabis or just the flower of the extracts,

183
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: the edibles, um. But you know the people that are

184
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: stepping into that hemp game. It's a big, big, you

185
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: know industry, and it's going to continue to be big

186
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: and eating Hamp's one of those guys I feel is

187
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna gonna stick around for for a long time. Yeah.

188
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: I hope they get involved in this because I'm curious

189
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: to see how they evolved. Question do you both real quick?

190
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Kind of out of left field as I was hearing

191
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: you talk, and it made me think of this blue

192
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 1: from a conversation last night with my mother in law. Um,

193
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: my mother in law lives in Kansas. Right, we all

194
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: know that Kansas is not one of the green friendly states, right,

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: so they did not approve for medical or anything else.

196
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: But and I think I'm gonna answer this myself by saying,

197
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,119
Speaker 1: but CBD is federally legal across the board. But CBD

198
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: is still with as we just read, has the hemp

199
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: in it. So my point is is it because CBED

200
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: is legal everywhere that they're able to sell CBD in

201
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: Wichita without the state being green like that? And passing

202
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: those votes. Mark blue thoughts because my mother in law

203
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: said she sees CBD stores in Wichita, which made me think,

204
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, Kansas was one of those states that

205
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: didn't approve it for medical are for medicinal but is

206
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: that only for th HC greater than point zero three?

207
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: Let me let me address something real quick because a

208
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know this, but hemp grows wild

209
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: in in in uh out there. Yeah. I mean literally,

210
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: my wife, my mother in law is grown it out

211
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: of her hair right now. It's so crazy. And actually

212
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: and there she is. She's welcome, check out, Arlene hi

213
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: Arleane No. So um, you know, it grows. It grows

214
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: wild out there on the side of the road, you know.

215
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: And I want to share that that you know, it

216
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: is legal in all the states to to probably sell it,

217
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: because it's not, but but to the three we could

218
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: sell it and offer you correct to sell it, you know,

219
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: but to grow it and to to possess it it

220
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: might not be. So you know, a lot of times

221
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: people don't understand that. You know, something can be legal

222
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: or illegal to sell but or or to have on you,

223
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: but it's not illegal to consume it. So they could

224
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: sell it though Bright Mark because of the point zero

225
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: three factors under that. That's the that's the skipping point.

226
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: Can you step to the mic or get on your

227
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: ladder and get a little poster because I don't know

228
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: if you're too short for the mic. I don't know

229
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: what happened, but you sound like you're like in the

230
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: office next door. Okay, how's that a lot better? Thank you?

231
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: I think your notes you're not real. Dive into something.

232
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: I want to dive into something. You know, there's twelve

233
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: there's twelve companies and events that you need to know about,

234
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,320

239
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: I knew you're gonna go on a rant with something

240
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: because I felt your vibes. Okay, just rant without you know,

241
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: capital rapid. Well, you know, let's just put it down

242
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: in a boat and and call it a mid January present.

243
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: So listen, there's twelve. There's twelve companies that you should

244
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: know about that throw live events, right and in two

245
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: th No, in two thousand nineteen, right in two thousand nineteen.

246
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about these events and I kind

247
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: of want to think, you know about where your guys

248
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: thoughts are, you know, are they coming back this year?

249
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Will they ever come back? Or you know, will they

250
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: ever make it? Because you know, it's unfortunate we have

251
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: all these live companies and these live events that we

252
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: know about because we've been booked at them, and other

253
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: people know about them because they're popular events. But are

254
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: they coming back? Guys? So here's the big question. Dope Cup.

255
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: Are you guys familiar with the Dope Cup? The Dope

256
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Cup was a company from I think Dope magazine actually

257
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: launched off the Dope and Homi right, yeah, absolutely, and

258
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: and the Dope Cup was a big event and it

259
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: was a four twenty friendly event. Um, you know, where

260
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: you had vendors, music performers, you know, cannabis, uh, you know, entrepreneurs. Yeah,

261
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: David Tran put that together. Now, David doesn't own Dope anymore.

262
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: I believe High Times bought Dope out. But but you

263
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: know there's hardcore stowners at these events to you know,

264
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: the people that are trying to novice, you know, they

265
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: are trying to learn about it. Is the Dope Cup

266
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: coming back? And then we'll go into some of these

267
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: other ones. But I mean, Dope Cup was a pretty

268
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: big event. What do you guys think. I think they'll

269
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: all make their stab at it. Mark. I mean you

270
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: see somebody saying okay, especially if it was a successful

271
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: name and it was in a good area, say that

272
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: was in I don't know, California, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.

273
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: They have the Dope Cup. They physically went to Colorado, Colorado, Oregon,

274
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: and Washington. And I mean I think we were at

275
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: the California and the Washington one. I think we you know,

276
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: we were invited to go to Oregon in Colorado, but

277
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: we didn't make it. But I mean, you know, is

278
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: that is that Dope Cup coming back? In your guys opinion? Well,

279
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: if if if High Time swallowed it up, I don't

280
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be coming back. I think High Times

281
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: is gonna want to put all their concentration. Just as

282
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: Joe was talking about this Hemp, the Hemp, the Hemp

283
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: event that they're doing and moving into the Hemp c

284
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: B D, I don't know. I that makes me feel

285
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: like we're not going to see the Dope Cup. What

286
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: do you think, Joe? Well, and not only that, as

287
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: I as you say what I said and what I read,

288
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why I was even thinking

289
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: t C because it's the first nationwide High Times Hemp

290
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Cup People's Choice edition coming in. So I'm a boso

291
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: for previously stating why not I'm not gonna do that

292
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: when it clearly states Hemp Cup. And I'm just so

293
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: used to my eyes and brain thinking High Times Hemp Cup,

294
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: thinking th h C when it clearly states Hemp Cup.

295
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: So on my apologies to my earlier dialogue that was

296
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: alluding to, I don't know how they're gonna do this

297
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: when it's clearly how they're gonna do it because it's

298
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: all hemp. So that being Denmark, you're right, I think

299
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: with High Time swallowing it up. Actually I don't think

300
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: you are right. I think High Times might actually let

301
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: these other ones breathe a little bit because if you know,

302
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Dope Cup had some legs and David, you know, he

303
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: he had a good following that that that whole little

304
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: feel that that vibe was good. Why not capitalize on

305
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: doing more events. There's the counter of what you're thinking

306
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: is High Times swallowed him up. Note we're gonna just

307
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: crush it UFC. But I feel like they'll do it.

308
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: UFC is a motto of of looking at what you're

309
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: expressing the mark. How the UFC has bought other you know,

310
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: fighting companies and they just kind of push them under

311
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: and they don't let them have big events, and they

312
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: take that they buy him out to get rid of them. Yeah,

313
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: they take out the big fighters and they put all

314
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: the big fighters in UFC. You know. For me, you know,

315
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: we we we we go back. We go way back

316
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: with Tran and when he was creating Dope and when

317
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: it was first started. And I think with him gone,

318
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think there's gonna be something lacking.

319
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: That guy is a creative marketing genius. When it comes

320
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: to all these events and the things that he's touched

321
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: and had his name on, well, he's a multimillionaire now

322
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: probably and he's moved on. He's got something else going on.

323
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: I saw something on LinkedIn. I'll have to go back

324
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: and look. But he's got his hands into something else.

325
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: But I I I don't think we'll see dope. I

326
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: don't think we'll see it. So there's another one in

327
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: Michigan that was called the Hashbash. Now this wasn't you know,

328
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: something that I you know, you know, knew about. But

329
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: apparently it was accepted in nineteen seventy one inception, you know,

330
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: which means it's been around for a long time. Uh,

331
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: the legalization in Michigan growing um an adult use becoming

332
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: legal in two thousand eighteen. You know, they relaunched the

333
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: Hashbash in April and uh began you know, some some

334
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: new you know, groundwork and started working it. And here

335
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: again they come out in two thousand and eighteen and

336
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: then boo yah, you know, uh two thousand nineteen, you know,

337
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 1: probably we're getting ready to launch another one and then

338
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: stops again in its track in Now that's a company

339
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: that I didn't even wasn't even aware of, but you know,

340
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: they support advocacy cannabis. Uh, you know, UM conceptions, vendors,

341
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: music performers for its twenty friendly and award ceremonies. So

342
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: they do pretty much the same thing as a lot

343
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: of these guys. But you know, I did never really

344
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: heard of it, but I think some of these smaller

345
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: companies like Hashbash, and I'm gonna kind of kind of

346
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: flipped through some of them. Um National Cannabis Festival, which

347
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: is out of Washington, d C. UM the Cultivation Classic,

348
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: which is out of Portland, Oregon. Um the High Times

349
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Cannabis Cup. You know, I'm gonna stop there for a

350
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: second because you know, obviously the Cannabis Cup is coming back,

351
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: but it's the Hemp Cup, right, so for right, but

352
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: I I can almost guarantee the High Times Cannabis Cup

353
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: is gonna come back. Um one, hand down, hands down

354
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: for that one. Yeah, They're they're not going anywhere again.

355
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: It's like one of those companies that I think it's

356
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: too big. They're not gonna they're not they're affected by uh,

357
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: this whole COVID thing, but they're not gonna stop a

358
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Mile High for twenty festival. Now that's a big festival. Um,

359
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: you know out of Colorado. As you get the Mile

360
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: High Um, and again you know this is you know

361
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: something that's the twenty one oder event. But they didn't

362
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: throw an event in two thousand nineteen, you know, which

363
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: was kind of weird because as they they've usually had them,

364
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: but they had people like Little Wayne show up previously

365
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Little John. Uh. They've had, you know, massive amounts of

366
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: artists show up to their events, and they really put

367
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: on a full spectrum show and a lot of people,

368
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people come from all over

369
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: the world to show up to this. I mean I

370
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: remember Davin Granty was getting booked, or the pop Brothers

371
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: at Law. There's I mean, you've got all your social

372
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: media influencers that are in this that end up getting him.

373
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: I love you. You just mentioned the two oldest probably

374
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: influencers that are out there. I didn't say Craig. I

375
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: said the Brothers at Law. Not not the Craig brother

376
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: at Law. Um. You know, the Boston Freedom Rally is

377
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: a pretty big event. Hemp Fest uh is pretty big

378
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: as well. Sense Nights is for the magazine Sency magazine.

379
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: M J Biscon Now we all know about m J Biscon,

380
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: a massive event and you know a lot of people

381
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: think just in Vegas, but no, MJ Biscon is in

382
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, New Orleans, Toronto, Europe, in London and Mark

383
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean, you know Copenhagen there there in

384
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: a lot of different places and this is more of

385
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: a conference vendor education, business to business networking. So for

386
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: this this company, Hemcom, there's twenty seven thousand attendees. Now

387
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: if you don't think that they're hurting from that, I

388
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: mean this is their bread and butter. You know, you've

389
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: got a company like you know, uh m J Biscon

390
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: that has twenty seven thousand people showing up to to

391
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: be there that are all I'm not saying all eighty

392
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,479
Speaker 1: percent of them are more mainly business to business, you know,

393
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: they're they're eighty percent of them are are you know,

394
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: business to business And and you don't get a lot

395
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: of the the stoners friendly guys there. You get more

396
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: of the entrepreneurs, the people that have made the business industry,

397
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: that have these massive boost and they're putting on this

398
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: uh m J Biscon. And I heard I just heard

399
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: they did an online series. What do you think about

400
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: the online segment of m J Biscon. I didn't even

401
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: catch wind of it until I think the the like

402
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: two days before it was happening. Here are you gonna

403
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: be attending m J biscons you know, um, you know

404
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: virtual you know deal. But I mean, is that something

405
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: that that that is coming back? Is m J Biscon

406
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: gonna be back? Are they going to throw conventions again?

407
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: I think so absolutely. Everything's gonna come back once, you know,

408
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: once it all opens up, it's it's all gonna come back.

409
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: The question is going to be why I shouldn't say all,

410
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: because quite you know, some of them are gonna be

411
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: out of business, you know, right, there's there's businesses that

412
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: are not going to recover from a year of pretty

413
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: much not being able to operate. So I it's gonna

414
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: be interesting to see which which of the bigger players

415
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: are able to you know, some of them, we saw

416
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of them transform to virtual

417
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: events like canon Con and weed Con. You know, they

418
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: they they transferred the virtual events that what I understand,

419
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: did okay, but nothing can replace being there in person.

420
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: And as much as I'd like all of them to

421
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: be back, I do think m j BI bis Con

422
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: will will be back. I think they'll be able to

423
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: muster it up and manage through it. I actually agree

424
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: with you Mark and the difference about m j BIZ

425
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: can on a lot of these other ones. You get

426
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: to actually go there and see these big factories. I

427
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: remember when we were there the last time, when we

428
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: met some cats from Colorado that make these big machines,

429
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: and they have their big machines displayed. They're out on

430
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: you know, the floor where if you're coming from somewhere

431
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: else and you want to buy a machine from Colorado,

432
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: now you don't have to fly to Colorado. See twenty

433
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: of these people in Vegas are in Denmark or wherever

434
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: you go to the event because it's a central spot

435
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 1: for the cannabis industry to do, to look at product

436
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: that you may want to buy for your whatever it

437
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: is you're making sure, porch blowing, whatever it is. Right,

438
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: So I truly believe that this will sustain and last.

439
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: The hard part that I think of, though, is are

440
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 1: these companies structured to sustain and go? Meaning what if

441
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: they had a huge overhead, what if they had a

442
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: big building that they're paying for? Of course they did,

443
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean last year, and then they went under. How

444
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: My point is, I don't think m J Biscon is

445
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: that company that went under, because they're still out there

446
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: sending out stuff. Well, you know, companies can't hang. I

447
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: want to share it to you guys, how naive people are.

448
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is is is and

449
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: it didn't dawn on me until until you know, just

450
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: the other day. I mean, someone comes up to me

451
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: and they go, you know, I mean, you know, I

452
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: I and and it was kind of like a blow

453
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: and I was like, dude, what country are you in,

454
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: like right now? But what world are you? What planet

455
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: are you on? But he comes in and he was here,

456
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 1: and then he left, and then he got he gets

457
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: on the phone me and I'm I'm literally in the

458
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: drive through. I think I was talking to you, Joe,

459
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: and then you and I hung up. And this guy

460
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: he gets on and he goes, hey, man, you know,

461
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: there's so many things that I feel like you guys

462
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: are just missing and and and don't have and don't

463
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: do and and I'm like, okay, well what is it?

464
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 1: And he goes, well, you know, like, why aren't you

465
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: doing you know, live remotes at dispensaries right now? And

466
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: and why aren't you guys, you know, you know, doing

467
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: these events and and what's going on? And I'm like,

468
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, listening to him, and and he had so

469
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,239
Speaker 1: much to say of all the things that we you know,

470
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: we all obviously do every year, and I was just like, dude,

471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: are you not like here on the same planet with us,

472
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 1: Like do you not realize that, you know, you know,

473
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 1: COVID has stopped all that. And he's like, no, but

474
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: you guys could be out doing events. I could book

475
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: you for this, you know, this dispensary right now. And

476
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, percent, let's go. No, but I know we

477
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: we need the extra code you know we have. But

478
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: what I what I explained to him as I said, listen,

479
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: we have a responsibility. No, we have a responsibility, you guys.

480
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: You know why we're not doing these events. We have

481
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: a responsibility to want our listeners, to our fans and

482
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: to other people to not throw an event. Just like

483
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: when we were talking about throwing a New Year's party

484
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: Cannabis Talk one on one event. We were like, yeah,

485
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna throw a bash and go out and have

486
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: a lot of fun, support and give back to our community.

487
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: But but it was like, but wait a second, if

488
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: one person gets sick there and spreads that, Hey, I

489
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: went to Cannabis Talk one on one event and I

490
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: got sick and I think it was Mark Walshman from

491
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: the Pop Brothers have got me sick? Yeah, all of

492
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, now you know, we're getting slammed in in

493
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: the in the media, we're getting pushed around, we're possibly

494
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: losing deals. I mean, who wants to deal with that.

495
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 1: So it's not that we can't do these events. It's

496
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: not that we can't go out and do them. We can.

497
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: We certainly can do backyard boogies. We could do you

498
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: know events, We can go to festivals and they're still

499
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: still kind of going on, but not as big as

500
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: they were. And but it's the responsibility that you carry

501
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: being in our position that we have to kind of

502
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: slow down and go, wait a minute, we can't go

503
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: out and do these events. We can't go push an

504
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 1: event really hard right now because again, safety is always

505
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: the number one. And if we we go out and

506
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: do that and we find that somebody gets sick and

507
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: we're promoting this event, next thing, you know, we're in

508
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: the press getting slammed again saying hey, you know, these

509
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: guys were you know, negligent and out there just you know,

510
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 1: getting people sick. You know what I mean, It's not

511
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: worth it for your image. And I think that's why

512
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these events aren't still just moving forward.

513
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, even Florida right now has been contacting US.

514
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Texas is contacting us saying hey, hotels are open, we

515
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: have events, space open, come through an event, Let's do something.

516
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: Guess what if we decide to do something like that

517
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: at this time, right now, with the rise of what's

518
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: going on, it's like slapping the world in the face. Dude,

519
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: it's not and and if and God willing, nothing would happen.

520
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: And for those that are doing it, all the best

521
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: to you know, for those who are doing it, you're idiots.

522
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: And stop because all of you guys say that because

523
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching the news last I forget who it is.

524
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: But somebody was out there talking about him Caroline with

525
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 1: no mask on in the valley in l A and

526
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: one of these big actor guys or whatever, and just

527
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: going out there and being ignorant to the fact of

528
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, I can feel like, oh, it's COVID. I

529
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: don't need to work. If you go out in public

530
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: and you're in a public area where there's a lot

531
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: of people gathering, you need to put on a fucking mask. Guys.

532
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: It's not enough, like are don't go? And if you don't,

533
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: and if you want to be there and you choose

534
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: to and you're not in a mask, that's fine, But

535
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: let it be at a home and you're behind closed

536
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: doors with your personal people. But when you're out and

537
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: about like that, you have a due diligence to this

538
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: country in the fellow mankind, and my opinion as well.

539
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: You know, if you don't want to be out, don't

540
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: be out. But if you are and you're gathering in

541
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: a public place, like you're referring to Blue, you gotta

542
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: mask up. And we're in the but you gotta remember,

543
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: you gotta remember your mask. That's that's it's still not

544
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: like a condom, you know, like a condom. Mask isn't

545
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: understand right now, the best thing to do is to stay,

546
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: not go, not go to these things. You know what

547
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm seeing I'm hearing actually from people that I know

548
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: who uh you know, Oh, it's it's not that bad.

549
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: It's it's even a hoax. And well that's what they

550
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: got it. They got touched and now you know, so

551
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's taking that for the people who don't

552
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: believe it, for them to finally get hit by it,

553
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: for them to realize, oh shout, I would and then

554
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: you I wish I would have done that. I wish

555
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: I would have done this. I shouldn't have been so stupid. Look,

556
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys, right, Like I I've always

557
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, if you're gonna get sick, you

558
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: know it's God was meant to you get sick. If

559
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna die, you're gonna die. If you're gonna make

560
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: it through, you're gonna make it through it, right. I

561
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: still kind of believe that. But I'll tell you what

562
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe is that if I walk into a

563
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 1: room and there's fifteen people there, and and I had

564
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: and and I don't want to wear a mask because

565
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: of my ego, because I care about what they think,

566
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: I care about what they feel. I care about how

567
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: they feel. I'm concerned that if I'm sick or if

568
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 1: they're sick, I might still get sick. I'm not, you know,

569
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: completely oblivious to it and going, oh, well, you know,

570
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't care what you think, and I'm not gonna

571
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: wear a mask. And you know, going back to what

572
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: you said, Joe, the poor athlete that was out there,

573
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: or the celebrity that was out there, he thought he

574
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: was Christmas carolling and doing a great job, and here

575
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: he is getting slammed and hammered for you know, Christmas Carolyn,

576
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have a mask. Well, you're right, he

577
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,239
Speaker 1: should have had a freaking mask on. And I think

578
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: he did it twice. I think he was doing it

579
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: to make the point of the masks. Oh, he was

580
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: actually going, yeah, he was going. He was on the

581
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: other side. He wasn't just like trying to do something

582
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,959
Speaker 1: nice and let me go spread cheer. He was got

583
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: a question. I got a question for you guys. Um,

584
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: you know Joe Biden has said once he takes office,

585
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: he's going to ask the United States citizens to mask

586
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: up for one days. How what kind of percented you?

587
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Not a mandate, he's just asking and recommending it, and

588
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: what what kind of percentage? Joe, Let's start with you

589
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: do you think we're gonna see in America? And I

590
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: think it would be the exact same. Those right now

591
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: who don't agree with it are doing exactly what I

592
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: just said, like the actor guy. Or let's just face it,

593
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the Trump supporters that are out there

594
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: that are this is a hoax, this is bullshit, they're

595
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna still feel the same way. I don't think it's

596
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: going to reflect a more number to say it's gone

597
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: now from seventy five to nine percent people wearing masks

598
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: when they go out. I think more people will be

599
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: potentially aware of it because it will be the President

600
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: of the United States sending out a request. But I

601
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: do not believe it will be more people. I believe

602
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: the people that are actively being proactive and non spreading

603
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: the virus are going to be the same ones that

604
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: do it. When it's when he's asked about Blue. You know,

605
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: when we come back, I'll give you my statement on that. Mark,

606
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: It's Cannabis Talk one on one. We'll be right back

607

00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: with Blue and Joe Grande and I want to give

610
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: a very special thank to Pitt Peanut and Elvis and

611
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: Jennifer were always taking care of the technical aspects of

612
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: this show. Now getting back to it, Blue, we were

613
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: just talking about it. What do you think about the

614
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: UH future president once he takes office January twenties, Biden

615
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: saying that he's going to ask the country to mask up.

616
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, I'll be honest, I don't think the president's

617
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: even going to UH take office. I think talk still,

618
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: you know, what's crazy. I looked up right now, like,

619
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: what the does he really believe that as some people

620
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: truly do? You know what you know here here's my

621
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: thought on guys. Um, you know, I would say that

622
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: there is going to be a massive blowback just because

623
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: of the politics involved, not even because whether or not

624
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: it has to do with the mass, which is unfortunate, right,

625
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, like like you know, we all know that

626
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: that I was you know, pro Trump and and you

627
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: know not not um, you know, getting too much into

628
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: the politics. I was just pro Trump for what he's

629
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: done for the finances of the company, not his own it.

630
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, we could all agree to disagree.

631
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: It's good and and I'm he's put the country in ruins. Yeah,

632
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: and I'm a big fan and and I'm a big

633
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: fan of ruining the country. No. Yeah, Now I'm a

634
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: big fan of of of Biden, you know, winning and

635
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: taking office. And I'm not one of those sore losers

636
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: just like oh my god and or over the top

637
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Mr Trump. Ee um, but I am sitting here going

638
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, I support our presidents. So when you know,

639
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: when he gets in office, I'm I'm gonna support Biden.

640
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: You know, and and that's just because, you know, I

641
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: believe that we need to support whatever president is in

642
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: office at all times as a country. Um, you know,

643
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 1: even if they make the wrong decisions, we need to

644
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 1: stand behind it because we put him in office. That's

645
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: our fault for putting him in office. And if we don't,

646
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: then I think it shows weakness to the rest of

647
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: the countries. So going into the question though of you know,

648
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: if Biden ask everybody to put his mask on for

649
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: a hundred days, I'll put my mask on for a

650
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: hundred days. I have no problem with it. But I

651
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: think again, it's gonna be a political nightmare. I think

652
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: that all the Trump supporters are gonna say, screw you,

653
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: this is you know, and I think they're gonna go

654
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: the opposite, which is going to create more illnesses, more sicknesses.

655
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna it's gonna the numbers are gonna skyrocket. And

656
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: I think the numbers are already gonna skyrocket. I think

657
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: we haven't even seen the the end of this at all.

658
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: And even with the vaccines rolling out, I don't think

659
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be Hey, it's over, guys, No, No,

660
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: I don't. I think there's new strains of it being

661
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: you know, you know, constantly coming out. And I think

662
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: that there's gonna be a route awakening for the country.

663
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: And not until, not until people are affected themselves or

664
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: their loved ones, do they actually wake up. And I'll

665
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 1: give you the example. You know, I heard about my

666
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: buddy being in the hospital. I know he was sick,

667
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 1: he was very ill. Um younger guy, and this thing

668
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: has no rhymer reason that. This is what scares me

669
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: about this COVID is that it doesn't have a rhymer reason.

670
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh gosh, you're old, You're gonna die.

671
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: It's like, no, there there's taking out young people that

672
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: are healthy. It's taking out people that are you know,

673
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: that are dying and older. It's forcing people into retirement.

674
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: It's creating people to be afraid of their house. It's

675
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: creating health problems, meaning mental health is at all time high.

676
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Why because people are at home stressed out. I think

677
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: people are bene drinking. I think people are at home

678
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: using you know, drugs. I think this is creating a

679
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of mental issues because you start to panic. I mean,

680
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: I've got a friend of mine that won't leave his

681
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: freaking house and he hasn't left his house this whole

682
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 1: entire time, and unfortunately he has enough capital to stay home.

683
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: But there's plenty of people that don't have that that

684
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: have to go out. They are still freaking out. So

685
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: what I wear a mask? Absolutely, I still believe the

686
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: mask is something that you know, you have to be

687
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: able to to support for those who are in fear.

688
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't personally want to live in fear myself, So

689
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to sit here and wear a mask

690
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: every day in all the places that I you know,

691
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 1: you need to, But I do because I want to

692
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: respect my fellow Americans. You know that that's for me

693
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: is most important. If I walk into a room and

694
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's people in there, I put my

695
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 1: mask up, my mask up because I respect them. Um,

696
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 1: not because I think I need to wear it everywhere.

697
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think that it's uh, you know,

698
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 1: I don't think I think a condom works better than

699
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: the mask does. That might be so, But you know what,

700
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: I want to get into a little bit of news

701
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,279
Speaker 1: that we weren't able to get into the past couple

702
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: of shows, something real big that I don't think we've

703
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: actually touched on it happened last month. Your your condom

704
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: broke you you have another kid on the way, all right?

705
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: The the United Nations reclassified cannabis as a less dangerous drug. Yes,

706
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: very and this happened, uh, you know. Towards the end

707
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 1: of December, the United Nations Commission voted to remove cannabis

708
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: for medical use from a list of the most risky

709
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: narcotics such as heroin. So A United Nations commission last

710
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: month voted to remove cannabis for medicinal purposes from a

711
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: category of the world's most dangerous drugs, highly anticipated and

712
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: long delayed decision that could clear the way for an

713
00:37:55,640 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: expansion of massive cannabis research and medical you So. The

714
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: vote by the Commission for Narcotic Drugs, which is based

715
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: in Vienna and includes fifty three member states, considered to

716
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: considered a series of recommendations from the World Health Organization

717
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: on classifying cannabis and its derivatives, but attention centered on

718
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: a key recommendation to remove cannabis from the Schedule four

719
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: of the nineteen Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, where it

720
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: was listed alongside dangerous and highly addictive addictive opiates like heroin.

721
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: So look at this, guys, we're moving. We're moving into

722
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 1: the future. As an as for the United Nations, California,

723
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the United States, as far as I'm concerned,

724
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: we're lagging behind. You've got well, it's still going in

725
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: the right direction. Mark lagging a little bit, but it's

726
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: still going somewhere. It's not as a stagnant. It's not

727
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: not getting legal. There's only three states, for God's sakes,

728
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: and we just have a federal, federal, federal. But I mean,

729
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: it's still going in the right direction. Don't say it's not.

730
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: It's not going as fast as we'd like. Well, it's

731
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: it's going in that direction. But the the United Nation,

732
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: the rest of the world just said it's not. Why

733
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: didn't we do it the day after that? What's the

734
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: h I mean, well, I can't expect that when we

735
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: have an administration in and in a Congress and Senate

736
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: that can't even give its citizens money. They get six

737
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: and then you know, Blues buddy said that's not enough,

738
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,879
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board, which was very nice

739
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: of him to finally address the nation in a way

740
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: of helping out the poll. But you know, bottom line,

741
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I agree with you, but I still

742
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: look at it as we're going in the right direction.

743
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: And I do wish that it would have happened an

744
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 1: hour after they made that suggestion. But you know it's

745
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: going in this vote in Georgia that happened. Obviously we're

746
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: recording this, and and the vote already happened, so we

747
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what direction it went. But you know,

748
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: once again, it goes back to make sure you go

749
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: out and vote. You know, I'll tell you that this

750
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: is it. Man. You know, the world has made its

751
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: stance on cannabis. It has made its stance. We we

752
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 1: have at this point, it doesn't even matter. I mean,

753
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: yes it you know, you're gonna catch people that are

754
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna go and still catch cases and whatnot. And but

755
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: I think the big question for for all, and I

756
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,479
Speaker 1: would be very conscious if you own a retail um

757
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: uh dispensary or a retail storefront that's in cannabis, what

758
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: happens when it does go federal? Does that mean Costco

759
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,800
Speaker 1: carries it and it's sold in every smoke shop and

760
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: every liquor store across the country? Point, you know what

761
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean? And if that hurts all these dispensaries that

762
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: spent every dime that they had to you know, go

763
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: there and all these people that got a dispensary because

764
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: they went to jail. That's a very very good point, Blue,

765
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:00,439
Speaker 1: It's all. It's already hurting people who went to jail

766
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: who can't get into this industry because of the way

767
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 1: they're freaking do it. We just the the city of

768
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: Lindsay and a couple other cities like the one like

769
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: Stamping and Fullerton they have in their in their application system.

770
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: Part of it is do you run already run a

771
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: licensed storefront somewhere, because if you do, you're gonna get

772
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: put ahead of people who didn't. That's just another lame

773
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: component that's gonna keep people out. Like sorry, So that's

774
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: already happening. People are already are already squeezed out because

775
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: of the way it's done. And you know, uh from

776
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: the world point of view, from a national point of view,

777
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: So you think you think that liquor stores, smoke shops,

778
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: and and convenience stores are going to sell cannabis here

779
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: in the future, Yeah, eventually, yes, I mean eventually it's

780
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: gonna be everywhere. You're gonna go into seven elevens. You're

781
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: gonna get You're gonna be able to get your crap,

784
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,759

785
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: my strong belief is that in in ten fifteen years, alcohol,

786
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: the alcohol companies are going to start going bankrupt. Well

828
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: the beginning. He changed it to just what you said,

829
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: marijuana to make it so hey, it's the minorities, it's

830
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: the Latinos, it's they're using it, they're bringing it in.

831
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: That was the Anslinger movement, so helped to uh further

832
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: stigmatize it, demonize it, make it look bad. Let's just

833
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: call it cannabis, guys, you know, all the white guys

834
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 1: I know just called it dope. So hey, hey, Blue,

835
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: you created this show, why didn't you call it marijuana?

836
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: One on one? You know. I'll tell you why, because

837
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: there is a stigma behind it and I'm very familiar

838
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: with it. And and when when when starting this show again,

839
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: we we wanted to come with education, motivation, entrepreneurship, you know,

840
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: leadership instead of just you know, hey, marijuana fund zone,

841
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because the cannabis and it

842
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: could go so many ways. I mean, don't get me wrong.

843
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: The fun side of me always want to come out

844
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: and and have fun with cannabis and smoke weed in

845
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: front of the camera and make and make jokes and

846
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: entertain you know, because entertainment, to me is what we do.

847
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: But on the other side of it, there was such

848
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: a void that needed to be filled in the cannabis

849
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: space of people that weren't giving out good information. And

850
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: so the information that was out there and still is

851
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: out there by the masses is is more of a

852
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: of you know, let's make fun of it, Let's smoke

853
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: a lot of weed, let's take a boon took, let's

854
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 1: hot box the room, let's you know, and and there's

855
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. I love the entertainment, I love

856
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: the message, um. But at the same time, there's just

857
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 1: not enough people out there that are giving good facts.

858
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: You know, they're talking about what what events are happening,

859
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: They're talking about you know, solid companies like Eating hamp

860
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 1: out of New York. There's not there's not enough of that.

861
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: And so I just thought, let's just come in and

862
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: be the best we can and grab the best attorneys

863
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: we can, grab the best Joe Grande we can, uh,

864
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: and let's put together this amazing show. Which feel pretty

865
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: good about that we've are accomplishing our goals on that. Well,

866
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I I have a challenge

867
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: for the two of you and probably going to be

868
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: the hardest for my brother as we go into this

869
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: new year. Maybe a new year's resolution that, you know,

870
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: let's all use that word cannabis. You know I've said

871
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: it before, you know, when I do my stories and

872
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: I go through these headlines and it's always marijuana, this

873
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: weed that, But I change it. I change the word

874
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:54,319
Speaker 1: to cannabis. And I think we should all use that

875
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: word to help spread the methods that you know, it

876
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: is the word that originated back in the eighteen hundred

877
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: before when it was completely legal, and let U call

878
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: it cannabis. Well, you know, I'm gonna go get some
