I 171 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: I find in my work as a producer, it's it's 172 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: different hats that you wear, and it becomes about the 173 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: project and and about the stars and making sure that 174 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: you bring out their excellence and it's not about you 175 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: and my creativity.

Don't lie, folks, 223 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: These are facts. These things are stuff that are like, Wow, 224 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: this is what's happening in Arizona. Less than two months. 225 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: This total includes more than one point three million in 226 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: taxes on medical marijuana sales and more than two hundred 227 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: and twenty six thousand dollars in taxes on recreational cannabis. Now, 228 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: according to the data from the Arizona Department of Revenue, 229 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: the state also collects an exercise tax on cannabis as 230 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: well as a transaction privilege tax, which is the TPT, 231 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: bringing the estimated total taxes collected so far this year 232 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: to more than two mile and dollars. Is that for 233 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: just that's given the both right, So, during the month 234 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: of February, Arizona dispensaries sold more than two fourteen thousand 235 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: pounds ounces of medicals. Are nut pounds ounces of medical products, yeah, 236 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: including cannabis, flower edibles, and concentrates. Detailed data about dispensary 237 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: sales for recreational marijuana are not available. That right there, 238 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: you guys. I put a question mark there for myself 239 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: because listen to this line right here, because I want 240 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: your guys opinion. Right So, they say two fourteen total 241 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: ounces of medical marijuana products, including cannabis, flower edibles, and concentrate. 242 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: Detailed data about dispensary sales for recreational marijuana notable. I'm 243 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: just reading the story. And here here's my point. I 244 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: heard my point of this before you do in your hair, 245 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry to interrupt you doing your hair today, 246 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: but your thoughts on this Isn't it crazy though that 247 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: this data is not there? And my point is, I 248 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: think the data should be there. Why because liquor store 249 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: data is there, Grocery stores data there. Grocery stores, how 250 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: many how panters you sell? How many crackers did you sell? 251 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: How many sodas did you sell? My point is when 252 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: I seen that, it made me say, this is where 253 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: the cannabis game needs to step up when it comes 254 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: to reporting, re doing the research doing it. Needs to 255 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: step your game ups. This is exactly why I tell 256 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: you Federal is gonna come in and change them, because 257 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: it's Federal. Guess what I'm not calling listen, I'm not 258 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: saying that there's not a lot of great operators. I'm 259 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: just saying there's a lot of gray areas and they 260 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: need to be cleaned up and and so as soon 261 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: as they do. And I'm not gonna do it. I'm 262 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: just the messenger of what I believe. This is just 263 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: what I believe. Federal is gonna come in and there's 264 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: gonna be big box stores, and operating and transportation is 265 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: gonna be Pinnacle Amazon. They're gonna step right in right well. 266 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: And what needs to happen to when and it goes 267 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: federal and I think it already needs to happen now, 268 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: is reporting all this stuff? You guys? One of the 269 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: guys that he's a spokesperson, Holly Partner from DHS. He says, 270 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: since this information is not reported to the departments, we 271 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: will not be able to produce reports for adult use 272 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: sales and data. And in my opinion, when I look 273 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: at this, I say that's bullshit. I say this is 274 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: a lack of concentration focus, and in my opinion, it 275 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: also makes the cannabis industry look bad. It's because you're 276 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: not keeping it up to the par of the rest 277 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: of the world. That needs to be up to part 278 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: for everything. If you want to go federally legal, let's 279 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: have everything in order. Everything needs to be reported to 280 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: the last pre role, to the last you know, dining 281 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: bag that they're selling, and all this ship needs to 282 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: be there. No. I read an article too that was 283 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: talking about that's where the cigarettes and the alcohol companies 284 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: and pharmaceutical companies are going to be jumping on this 285 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: because they are going to want to set the standards 286 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: because they can't control it right now. And it's like, 287 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: why are we going to allow them to set the standard. 288 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: It's too late. So so, because we're not living up 289 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: to the standards in the cannabis instry, that's in the liquor, 290 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,119 Speaker 1: of the alcohol, the tobacco, I mean, everything they're doing it. 291 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: You've got to live up to those standards, and especially 292 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: in those departments. I mean, you know food as well. 293 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: I mean they're all everything. You're looking at McDonald's. You 294 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: know exactly how many fucking French sides they sold. You 295 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: go to any story, you guys. Everything is reported. So nonetheless, 296 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: the amount of taxes collected on recreational cannabis represents a 297 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: multimillion dollar markets and according to the Dmitri down in 298 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: the marijuana industry trade Associations, So, I mean that's the 299 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: name of the association, Mark I wanted to change it. 300 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: Arizona expects to see adult use cannabis sales increase as 301 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: more dispensaries begin serving their recreational market. Now given tree 302 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: dispensaries in Phoenix, it's a big spot out there, right 303 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: they hired nineteen new employees for one shop. Here's what 304 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: I'm also going to get into from that stopper, from 305 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: this comment right there, all the work and preparation have 306 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: been worth the reaction from the shop customers once again 307 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: giving tree dispensaries out in Phoenix. Nineteen new, nineteen new employees. 308 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: That's one dispensary, folks, hear me now, believe me later 309 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: how this changes the economy. One dispensary just hired nineteen 310 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: new from what they're hiring that what they already have, 311 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: that's nineteen new people making money. The companies are making money. 312 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: So here's another aspect of a different direction I'm going 313 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: in this. Why it's going greenis because more people can 314 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 1: make money when there's more dispensaries being opened. And we 315 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 1: look at this and in Arizona's slow right now, they're 316 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: not allowing all the licenses to pop. It just happened recently, 317 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: just you know what I'm saying. So for the adult use, yes, 318 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: the medical dispensaries have been there, but if we have 319 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: more of them, like quote unquote liquor stores, and to 320 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: back up what I said, that they can start holding 321 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: their accountability higher. Because even for the taxes. Let's fix 322 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 1: that and make it lower. But but report so, I'm 323 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna I agree with all of it, but I also 324 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: don't want to forget the reality of the legacy market, 325 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: the people that have taken all these years to actually 326 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: build it to the point that it's at now. And 327 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: maybe they haven't got every single thing together, but we 328 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: get it to the And I've been saying this for 329 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: for years. If you go back, this is R and 330 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: D for the federal government. They're watching everybody make all 331 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: their mistakes BB and then they go and go, well, 332 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: you look pretty good. Let's just fix a few things 333 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: here and tighten me up, and you look pretty good, 334 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: you know. And these massive box stores are gonna come 335 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: in swallow these really good operators up. And that's the 336 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: next level of the game. And to be honest with you, 337 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 1: the next level operators the legacy off you know, the 338 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: guys that are that close are gonna go, you're right, 339 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: me too, let's go. And the guys that weren't are 340 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: gonna miss it, and they're gonna complain. And and I 341 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: just feel that that's and I'm not upset at that 342 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: because I think there's a lot of legacy market operators 343 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: that are kicking ass, and I think they are, and 344 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: they've they've helped it and they put it on their back, 345 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: and once again, hats off to that too. But if 346 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna go federally legal, I mean, you're not buying 347 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,640 Speaker 1: fucking moonshine off of fucking you know, Mark Carnes anymore 348 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: back in his jeep. You know what I mean, You're 349 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: not doing that. I'm just saying it ain't something like, hey, 350 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: we're doing that's gonna end the legacy. Sometimes I'm doing that, 351 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: but from that, I mean, I use the real name 352 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: of a person we know. But my point, I'm trying 353 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: to use a hypothetical. People aren't doing that anymore because 354 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: the game has gotten to be affordable, realistic, trackable, everything else. 355 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: Because the alcohol game is very similar to this cannabis game. 356 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: The whole way it happened it was illegal. You're similar 357 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: at all? What are you talk to? Horrible analogy the 358 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: moonshiners the legacy market. Yeah, I mean it's almost one 359 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: of the same, and and and you know it's just 360 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: a different error. The prohibition of alcohol only lasted a 361 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: couple of years. But is it not similar it's not similar, 362 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: because why then, why has why has the prohibition against 363 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: cannabis still here? Because they still need to hold on. 364 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: The prohibition was only a couple of years. But how 365 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 1: long have they been been smuggling moonshine forever? I mean 366 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: they've been. That's never going to stop. It's completely hold completely. 367 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: They're saying the couple of years that were pivotal, that 368 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: we heard about in the court systems that actually made 369 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: it real. You're not talking about the real life story 370 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: of the people that lived it all the way, just 371 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: like the cannabis market. So for us, because we're in it, 372 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: it seems like it's been uh years, it has because 373 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: it has, but that the public that season is only 374 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: going to see a five year span exactly, so just 375 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: like they did for them, exactly because again, thank you 376 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: for seeing that. It's still different. Face j what about you. 377 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: It's completely different. It's different because one was completely like 378 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: lied to everything about it was like demonized, So it 379 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: didn't wasn't it was about exactly hold on, No, no, 380 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: it's different. One of them was pointed at, lied to, 381 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: meaning that that cannabis was bad, and they were both 382 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: the devil. Hold on, hold on, no, no, but but 383 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: but listen though, but then they were also saying, but 384 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: they were saying alcohol is bad, right, but they legalized alcohol, 385 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: and alcohol is worse for you than cannabis. And so 386 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 1: it never really it just was never even a given 387 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: a fair shot. So too, even for the comparables, it's 388 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: not even in this it's like it's I understand that. 389 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: I understand that, but I do understand the lengthy of 390 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: the both of the two. They're very similar in structure. 391 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: One of them was built first, and and it's kind 392 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: of weird that that one was built before the other. 393 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: This either way, Arizona is making a lot of money 394 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: in taxes. People need to open it up. There's jobs 395 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: that are open nup could change. I'm Joe Grande. That's 396 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: your go Grimo. When we come back, Mark Washerman stepping 397 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: in for the little brother with some cannabis news that 398 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: take a hit, get lit and sit back and enjoy 399 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: cannabis talk one oh one with Martin bro there's that 400 00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:02,439 Speaker 1: law Blue and Lejonette is here and Joe is just 401 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: gonna go take a piss, but that's what he does. 402 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: I've got cannabis news because my big brother is still 403 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas from March madness, and now we have 404 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: New Mexico stalling on legal cannabis. New Mexico has not 405 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: moved any closer to fully legalizing adult use cannabis as 406 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: a Senate panel has decided to pull discussions at the 407 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: last minute. Initially, a hearing was scheduled for this past Sunday, 408 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: but the topic has now been pulled and won't be 409 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: discussed at this time. There isn't even a new day, 410 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: probably due to the fact that the Senate is finding 411 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,439 Speaker 1: it hard to agree on issues like taxation, pardoning, and 412 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: expungement and licensing, issues that often hold up cannabis industries. Initially, Blue, 413 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: what do you think Do you think New Mexico is 414 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: ever gonna let it happen? Yes, I do. I just 415 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: think that they're there's such a crucial place because they're 416 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: so close to the borders, you know, and there's a 417 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: lot of traffic going through there, you know what I mean. 418 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: And I think they're they're more concerned about deeper issues 419 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: than really just the actual production of cannabis over there, right, 420 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: And so the I mean, it's it's a rough it's 421 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: it's it can be rough in that area, and it 422 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,479 Speaker 1: also has a lot of colleges, so I mean, you know, 423 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 1: that's my opinion. It's very stressful for the advocate. The 424 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: New Mexico's governor wants to go ahead and get the 425 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: legalization under way and only gave state senators this week 426 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: to approve legislation. So we'll see what happens at the 427 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: end of the week and if New Mexico is actually 428 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: going to allow for adult use. Joe's back. How do 429 00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: you feel just about a half a pound? You know what. 430 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: The what is sad though, Mark, is that you know, 431 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: New Mexico, I mean, you know, they probably need it, 432 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: just like every other state. And the worst part is 433 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: there's probably people a lot of people getting charged still, 434 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, when you think about it, people are getting 435 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: charged out there. Can you start the story over? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 436 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: you go listen to the podcast. Thanks. Give him a recap, though, Mark, 437 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: you know New Mexico stalling the senators there, the governor 438 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: wants it. It's just more bs. Well, it's kind of 439 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: like New York right now to New York's kind of 440 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: stalling on it and New York's really trying to push it. 441 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: Cuomo wants something else to go good for him besides 442 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the old homes that he messed up on. So he 443 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: needs to make that happen as well as New York, 444 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: New Mexico. Make it happen, folks. All Right, So here's 445 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: some more news posing a question, Well, cannabis use affect 446 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: your chances of getting hired. And we get messages and 447 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: calls every day about this from people I use medical 448 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: cannabis and can I get fired? And unfortunately, cannabis use 449 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: can still disqualify you from getting hired, even in states 450 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: with fully legal adult use in medicinal cannabis. I got 451 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: a question for you, Mark, a good friend of mine, ironically, 452 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: the guy that you answered a question for me the 453 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: other day when I called you with his father in law. Um, 454 00:25:55,200 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: he's a truck driver and he's had he's had so 455 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: many freaking operations back, leg, knee, you know. So he 456 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 1: and he's you know, personal thing without I never said 457 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 1: his name. So he was almost he was taking a 458 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: lot of pills, bikes and this and that almost wrote 459 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: his marriage. And now he's just like thugging it out 460 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: in a lot of pain, barely doing anvils right. And 461 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: he's and and he's a good friend of my growup 462 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 1: with them a little kid, and he doesn't want to 463 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: take the white devils, right, So he's like, I don't 464 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: want to take them pills. So he's like, joke, should 465 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: I do some CBD? And I go, dog, I think 466 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, CBD can't come up because you're a truck 467 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: driver and you have that different class license. I don't 468 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: know if you can't go. And this is the advice 469 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: I gave him. So I want to ask you a 470 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: couple of questions. Was this decent advice? What can he 471 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 1: do moving forward? Which was I go, maybe, first off, 472 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: get your medical marijuana card, even though you're not using 473 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: it yet, even your truck driver cannabis card. Get their card. 474 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: Then go to HR and say can I use CBD? 475 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: First off? See what they say, get it all in writing, 476 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: do it in the email. And then and if they 477 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: say yes, can I use cb D with the little 478 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: thing it? See what they say. That was my recommendations 479 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: in my in my offer. And I absolutely go to 480 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 1: his employer. And you know, because people are getting fired 481 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: and a truck driver the laws, you can't you know, 482 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: answer to the d O T. But transportation. Let me 483 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: add something that's super important though, is that if you 484 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: get it from just any geek off the street, there's 485 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: a good chance it's hot, which means hot. Cb D 486 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: means it has more than three percent of the actual THC, 487 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: which will make your piss test or whatever. Point three 488 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: though could possibly show up as well correct. So if 489 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: you took, if you took, I told him not to 490 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: take any dude, you can't take any jell you know, no, yeah, 491 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,400 Speaker 1: you got it. I mean it's true. But if you're 492 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: taking if you took a whole thing of THHC gummies 493 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,719 Speaker 1: right and they all had point zero three, you know 494 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: you're you took over the limit that are telling you 495 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: to take. All of a sudden, you're getting the same 496 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: effects as a high as a high because you took 497 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: a lot of the little ones. But and like for 498 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: me and my buddy and for those who are out 499 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: there and you have those jobs, like I told my buddy, 500 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: you're just asked out like you can't take anything. And 501 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: if you can't really do CBD, because it could pop 502 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: up on your test if you randomly get tested and 503 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: you still can do hemp and he yes, well no 504 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: hemp derived CBD. Yeah, they're still there's still there's still 505 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 1: danger of those levels of th HC. There's still dangers 506 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: that you just make sure that there's no in it. 507 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: When you get hempteride, there's no th C whatsoever. You 508 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: could buy it at a convenience stone, correct, that's why. 509 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: But what they're saying is is you have to have it, 510 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: I think from purchased it and get it from the 511 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: right person, because you might come to me, well, I 512 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: don't get it off. You don't know, you don't know 513 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: came from and you say, Chris, here you go, this 514 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: is you know all him? No, I wouldn't say that though, No, 515 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 1: I understand. But there are a lot of right now, 516 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: there's that's a good question, though, I wonder if how much. 517 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: And I'm following the logic hemp derived there is the USA, 518 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: what's the company over there, and it's not it's it's 519 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: got terpenes in cannabinoids, but it doesn't have the THC 520 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 1: or the psychoactive. There's there's full spectrum, guys, and there's 521 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: not full there's broad spectrum. Right so, so full spectrum 522 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 1: has the whole plant and the broad is going to 523 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: be only hemp derived. I guess you have a good 524 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: point there I like that good. You know what I'm 525 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: I just wanted. I thought you were talking about I 526 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: thought you were talking about um or are you're getting 527 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: it from? Well? No, but and then the worst part 528 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: for me is for him, like when I do the 529 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: hemp derived CBD, it just it just doesn't have that effect. Really, 530 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: are you taking skinny weed? I am, but I don't 531 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: feel like that helps with pain. No, but it doesn't help. 532 00:29:53,680 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't. You're must feel better. You're losing some weight 533 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: less pressure. Hey, look, let me let me, let me, 534 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: let me bring this. It's so it's irritating, this whole 535 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: conversation about people having to worry about their jobs. Two 536 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: out of three Americans support cannabis legalization, and according to 537 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: data from Simply Hired, more than fort of hiring managers 538 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: at mid sized companies and more than fifty at large 539 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 1: companies still say they test for cannabis in the job 540 00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:41,239 Speaker 1: application process. The anonymous survey, which included hiring managers at 541 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: more than seven hundred companies, gives valuable insight into how 542 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: companies truly view employees using cannabis. The majority of hiring 543 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: managers said a job applicant would be immediately disqualified after 544 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: testing positive for cannabis. What the what is this? He respond, 545 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: what is? And say, are you gonna be chargeable then 546 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: for the people that have seizures or all diabetes or 547 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: cancer or all these other things that they're using um 548 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: medical cannabis for. I'm gonna flip and go on the 549 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: other side and say, if I own a company and 550 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: that's the way I choose the higher, then that then 551 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: don't come up from it and listen, hold on, it's 552 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I mean, as as 553 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: I hear that, he do what I like it to 554 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: be the other way I would like it. There's a 555 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: lot of functionalities that have to work. The owner watch it. 556 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of functionalities that have to work for 557 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: that to actually work right. And let me explain, Like, 558 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: if you're a doctor, you would have to disclose it 559 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: I get high. If you're a brain surgeant, right, you'd 560 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: have to start disclosing that. So there has to be 561 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: a communication between the patient that's coming and saying, hey, 562 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: this doctor decides to smoke, he smokest cannabis and this 563 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 1: one doesn't. Because there's gonna be too many people that say, 564 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: wait a minute, dude, if there's brain surgery, you know, 565 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: what are you gonna? What do you you're gonna? I 566 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: don't want to this guy high. And then there's the 567 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: guys who are like, dude, I if he's high, that's great, 568 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: if he can handle it. So this is you know, 569 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: there's there's two types of parties right there, and so 570 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: I don't think the infrastructure is there. Just say that 571 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,960 Speaker 1: to support that actual action right to to roll it out, 572 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: just less rolling everybody can work. Yeah, I don't I 573 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: agree with that with you. Blue, you're classifying how can 574 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: you classify th HC in the CBD category? No? No, no, no, 575 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: they're testing for cannabis. But does that mean you're like, so, 576 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: if it's HEMP or CBD, then I'm I'm doomed to 577 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: work for you. Like that doesn't make sense. Now they're 578 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: looking for the th and so this is policy, right, 579 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: these are businesses policy. Now the same survey, seventy five 580 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: point of the managers say an employee would be fired 581 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: for smoking at work. Well, okay, that's that's fair. I 582 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: agree with that. Drinking at all, said an employee using 583 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: cannabis was fine as long as the company didn't know 584 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: about it. Think of it as a don't ask, don't 585 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: smoke on company property about every company, I mean ship. 586 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: They don't know if you're doing meth on the weekends. 587 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: They don't know if you're sitting there getting drunk every 588 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: weekend where you're shipping your pants. Now they look at 589 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: smaller that They did the same survey for smaller businesses 590 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: with less than a hundred employees, forty three percent of 591 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: the hiring managers say they never test for cannabis. Smaller 592 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: companies seem more likely to accept positive results. So right now, though, 593 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 1: depending on who your employer is or whose job you're seeking, 594 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: there's no protection there if even if you have your 595 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: recommendation from a doctor, there is no protection. And it's well, 596 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: it's like you said, if if you're gonna go apply 597 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: for a job and you're you're calling us. We get 598 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: these calls almost every day. I'm gonna go apply for 599 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: a job and I use cannabis. What's what, what's gonna happen? 600 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,959 Speaker 1: I go, Well, if they could, they could fire you 601 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: or not hire you, just ask instead of going through it. 602 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: Just as be honest, Hey, I'm an a compatient I 603 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: use Is this against company policy? And then go get 604 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: a job somewhere else. Again that the infrastructure is not 605 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: quite there in my opinion, that's all. You know, it 606 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 1: is for some companies, right, And I think those companies 607 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: will actually actively say it's okay to smoke cannabis here. 608 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: And I think there's gonna be multiple that start to grow, 609 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: and as it grows, it will develop this beautiful flower 610 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: that will eventually explain the story. I just don't see 611 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:28,279 Speaker 1: it being there yet. Well, here's the problem. What it 612 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: says they have to stfu that's yes, I mean, why 613 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: go there, Pitt? You're right, I mean Pitch working out 614 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: of hospital overnights. And the reason you know, you know, 615 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 1: you know why I was asking earlier is because you 616 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: know he's a doctor and he works in the pit 617 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: over there. But what do you want to know? What? 618 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: What what sucks is if you're drunk at work. You're 619 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: drunk at work, and if you do something and you're drunk, 620 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: you're they're gonna know, they're gonna go test your blood 621 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,400 Speaker 1: is gonna be full of alcohol. If you do something 622 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,720 Speaker 1: at work that's a legitimate accident, It was just an accident. 623 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: You made it, your tripped, your fail, you knocked somebody over, 624 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: you knock something over, you hurt somebody an accident, and 625 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 1: then you end up hurting yourself and they go to 626 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: the hospital and they take your blood and there's cannabises 627 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: in it because you smoked a week ago. Correct, Now 628 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: you're getting fired. So I mean that's that's that's where 629 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: a really stuck. There's a slippery slope there right here. 630 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 1: So I sucked, but it's true, but it does suck. 631 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: But but let me be the defender real quick. If 632 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 1: you actually go to work, there's people that are gonna 633 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: go and just smoke and be cool. But there's the 634 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: guy that's gonna go, oh man and and wreck it. 635 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 1: But that's the same guy who's gonna drink. And I 636 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: asked this girl to day, did you hear me mention you? 637 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: And she goes, no, huh, yeah what And then she goes, 638 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just high. I can't remember, And I go, 639 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: what is that? What do you mean? I'm just high, 640 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: I can't remember, Like what is that? That is somebody 641 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 1: who smoked too much and shouldn't be smoking that much 642 00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 1: or using that much? But what do you think that 643 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 1: that's what that's like? That you might start, it's cool 644 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: to come to work high cool and they and they 645 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: don't realize that it is. And some people it is 646 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,439 Speaker 1: cool for them, and some people it ain't. But when 647 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: they use that as an excuse, sometimes it contradation. Never 648 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: be an excuse. I hate that too. I hate that too. 649 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: It's just like, what if I drink too much? Nike? Well, 650 00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: if I drink too much like a well, no, I 651 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:36,959 Speaker 1: drinking too much, it's actually you know, not night. Yeah, 652 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: you're you're you know, it's actually thirteen steps.
