First, you gotta think about 175 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: that ship before you can actually put it into motion, right, 176 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: So so I thought about it first, just like in 177 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: that article. I thought about all the stuff I was 178 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: gonna be doing when I got home. See what what what? 179 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 1: He didn't know? And he told me when when when 180 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: I got out of prison. When that we was riding 181 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: on the freeway. I was speaking at a meeting and 182 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: he came because he's writing another story about me. They 183 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: never published it, the one he was writing in yet. 184 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: But we're riding from the from the meeting and I 185 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: look over. He was like just like staring at me, 186 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: like really crazy, right, And I was like, damn, dude, 187 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? He's like, man, we're on the 188 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 1: one ten freeway. I said, h He said, man, that 189 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: you know when I did that last article on you, 190 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: thirty days later, you won your pill. I said, I 191 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: never paid attention to that I was just glad I 192 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: won that motherfucker. So many layers to your to your case. 193 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: Though this didn't get thick, It get thick. Yeah, yeah, 194 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: come on, come on, this didn't get real thick. Man. Um. 195 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: So I had already predicted that I was gonna be 196 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: telling politicians what to do. I was gonna be speaking 197 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: in universities. I don't even have a high school, to plumber. 198 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: If you go to my my school and you put 199 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: up my records, they're gonna say that retarded. They're probably 200 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: gonna say retarded, because that's how I felt when I 201 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: was at school, because I couldn't spill dug and it 202 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: and cat mhm. But then when I got to prison 203 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: and the Brothers was like, on the way out of here, 204 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: stud the law, I bury, my man, and you're putting 205 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: all your faith in that dude. You gave that little 206 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: money to okay, right who you worked for? And uh 207 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: after after they gave me that little tip, you know, 208 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: I see ship, I better know how to read. You know. 209 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: My partner made me some que cards. Two or three 210 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: weeks I was reading the newspaper and yeah, in prison, 211 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: and it just went from there. You know, when reading 212 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: law books from reading the newspaper to reading law books 213 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: interping in the law. But you know, like when anything, 214 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: if you stay on it constantly, if you constantly make 215 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: that show. So a lot of times we we we 216 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: we say we want stuff. Oh We're gonna do stuff, 217 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: but that ain't our real intention. You know, your real 218 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: intention is back here in the back of your head, like, yeah, 219 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw these motherfucker's curve and then I'm gonna 220 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: do what I really want to do, you know, and 221 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: and hopefully what you really want to do, you know, 222 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: is is is be successful. But you know sometimes you know, 223 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: we we we want to be successful, but in the 224 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: back of our mind we already said that I'm gonna 225 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: Dophine out. You know, I'm gonna drink my way out 226 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: of this ship and wenna eat my way out of it. 227 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,959 Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many ways that that people stop 228 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: their self from succeeding. You know. Uh, you know, I'm 229 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: doing boxing now too, I'm about to take over the boxing, 230 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: and ab would take that. With the weed, they all 231 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: wide open. Everybody ain't nobody gardener. So with boxing, they 232 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: gotta saying where boxers eat their way out of a title? 233 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: You know, one minute they great shape and fit, and 234 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they get a little 235 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: money started, ain't stopped running, you know, don't want to 236 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: train like they're supposed to, and then next time, you know, 237 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: get the loss. And that's the same way basically with 238 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: with with basic life. That if you're doing things that's 239 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: detrimental to the way that you're talking about going, then 240 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna take away from that that you're trying to accomplish. 241 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: And I just try not to do that to myself. 242 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: You know, let somebody else do it to me. It's okay. 243 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: It's better for them to do it to me than 244 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: me to do it to myself. Because they do it 245 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: to me, they can stop me while they there, but 246 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: once they leave, you know, I'm going right back to 247 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: the program. I'm gonna stick to the mission. So when 248 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: he was fifteen, and at that moment he inspired you 249 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: because you say you need to finished school, you just 250 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: want to scredit to right into it. Not a fifteen No, 251 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: I kept playing. I kept playing tennis because I was 252 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: under the impression that that then you can go pro, 253 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: and tennis you can't. You can you go pro in 254 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: tennis at like fourteen years old, if you got the 255 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: money right. So I was thinking that, you know, one morning, 256 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: I was just gonna wake up and explode. You know, 257 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: my game was gonna because and I ran experiments too. 258 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: And when I played tennis, like, I beat a dude 259 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: who was like a hundred and one in the world. 260 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: He was like Arthur Ashes right here and guy. And 261 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: he was from my neighborhood. But he was to come 262 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: and get me. Every time you come off serve, you 263 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: come get me. I I was his practice partner because 264 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: I did school, you know, everybody else being school, I 265 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: did fun that I ain't going to school to day. 266 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm hitting with corn Bread. So he would come and 267 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: get me. So I beat him one time. You know, 268 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: he went off on circus. So I tell my boy 269 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: and say, man, I want to work hard as hill 270 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and when corn when Cornbread 271 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: get back, I'm gonna be ready for him.

When 275 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: he graduated college, I think he was like two or 276 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: three in the in the nation. I'd beat all of 277 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: them because I put that kind of work in. But 278 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: I didn't keep that kind of work ethic up. You know, 279 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: I dropped back down after I accomplished my goal. You know, 280 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: my goal was the wrong goal.

But it's 413 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: a legal because you know when I when I got in, 414 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: I don't even been out, well I can like four years. 415 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: I've only been out like full four years. So I 416 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: was still like, you know, under that institutional thing, you know, 417 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: like I see them all over the corners and everything. 418 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: But I'm like, shit, I ain't got no license, you know. 419 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: And then also that that that's saying that you start 420 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: with weed and then you go to how harder drugs? 421 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: And I had to think about that, you know, with 422 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: ship I said, I started straight with cocaine first song. 423 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: That theory don't work with me, right, right, right. But 424 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: it was hard for me to go and go into 425 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: the business. You know. I wouldn't talk to a few 426 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: dudes that I respected from the game and asked their 427 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: opinion about it, you know what they thought, and I 428 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: would be it's crazy all three and gave me their 429 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: blessing and say, man, you're the right one, right right. 430 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: So here I am in the weed business. I love it. 431 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: And the faces of social equity, and let me tell 432 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: you a little bit about social equity. Talking. Social equity 433 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: started in California where we're going. And I'm kind of like, 434 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,239 Speaker 1: if you go google social equity, my picture might pop up, 435 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: but I ain't the one started it. They just pushed 436 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: me out of front and I took it. But social 437 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: equity is where we went to the state of California, 438 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: the city of Los Angeles, and we demanded that people 439 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: of color be allowed to participate in the marijuana in. 440 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: What we did is we got them to issue social equity. 441 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 1: So if the licensed normally would cast you five hundred 442 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: thousand with social equity, you can't get that same license 443 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: for five or ten thousand dollars. Because I hold, I 444 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: gotta say this, this needs to be saying.

Not The difference in 655 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: the in my case is that when I went to prison, 656 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: I got three strikes off one or one. I never 657 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: got out, so technically I had never been punished to prison. 658 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: They consider prison of punishment. So once you've been punished, 659 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: because I that's a strike, that's a strike, right, But 660 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: that didn't happen to me. So when I saw that, 661 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, they're gonna have to rewrite 662 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: their whole book. I'm going on. And then they all 663 00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 1: got twisted off of with their different states. I said, 664 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: the book don't say if they're different states. Now they 665 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 1: don't mention different states. This was the one thing they 666 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 1: mentioned was intervening arrest, which is got out of prison. 667 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,160 Speaker 1: I never got out. I never got out. There was 668 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:41,479 Speaker 1: no intervening arrest, and that killed the forum. The court 669 00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: stood on that, The Pelle courts stood on it. They 670 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 1: gotta be that intervening arrest. But they should have threw 671 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: my whole case out because my informer shouldn't even been 672 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: over here. Man.
