43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: Great sitting here chatting with you guys. So it's just

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: amazing how you're just a quad factor of the you know,

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: business space, let alone cannabis because I say the quad

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: with the skateboard in there, there's nothing like growing up

47
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: smoking sweed and growing on the skateboards. Are you probably

48
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: skateboarding before you even smoked weed, as most kids probably did.

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: But I want to go back to early Craig days.

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: Uh did? First off, did you grow up in the

51
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: Humboldt County area? Now? I grew up just a little

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: bit north of Atlanta, and then right when I turned eighteen,

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: I came out to California because of skateboarding. And then

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: uh so I came to San Francisco and then quickly

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: learned about Humboldt and I was like, well skateboarding and

56
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: we sign there and so match made in exactly. So

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Humble. What's the first company that

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: you opened up? As you have a grow, you have

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: a dispensary, you have a distribution, walk us through that. Yeah,

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: the first company was a Satory Movement, which is still around,

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: but that was our skateboard wheel brand that we started.

62
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: But we also started making hemp clothing when we started

63
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: that company in so I started making hemp clothing at

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: that time, late late and uh just brought that from

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the East coast, actually started in Athens, Georgia and brought

66
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: that up to Humble where we were able to tap

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: into the you know, it was mostly indoor home residential

68
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 1: grows back then, but also there was really good opportunity

69
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: with economic development being such a small area, so I

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: was able to get a loan. I was only twenty

71
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: one years old at the time, so I was able

72
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: to get a loan through the economic development and growing

73
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: a little two to four lighter and stepping that up

74
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: over those years. But um, it all started kind of

75
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: with the skateboarding and the hemp clothing. Craig, did you

76
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: pay the loan back? I did for another loan with

77
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: the same agency last week. So you were you were

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: a young kid when you were getting into all these

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: business ventures, I can only imagine that there was a

80
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 1: lot of legal procedures and legal matters that you needed

81
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: to tackle. How did you handle that with getting attorneys?

82
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: How many attorneys did you go through? Well, honestly, I

83
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: went and bought a no Low book on forming a

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean I actually did that that first company. Actually

85
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I actually had the time, and I was young and

86
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: read and uh form that corporation had run through a

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: few attorneys, but I pretty much de fit it all

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: on my own back then. I have a lot more

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: attorneys now these days, I bet, I bet you do. Well?

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: You have you now? Were you ever concerned with the

91
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: criminal side or the crimes federally that you were actually

92
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: were committing committing? It's true. I mean there's you know,

93
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: the Feds are out there, the Feds just what are they? Just? Uh?

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: The lawsuit right with California and yeah, the d o

95
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: J served the BCC with subpoenas for information on licensed

96
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: entities including manifests and all kinds of good stuff. How

97
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: do you feel about that? How did you feel about

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: it in the beginning, knowing that you were going into

99
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: that realm. Well, I knew It was part of the

100
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: part of the play. You know, you gotta take the chances.

101
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: You gotta be smart, you gotta have a couple of

102
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: different burner phones. You're really careful about how you operate allegedly,

103
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: you know still when I drive on looking every which

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: way every time, setting cruise control, just being really cautious

105
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: about how you operate. Um. But you don't really get

106
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: too far if you don't push the envelopes. So you

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: had to push those envelopes, and uh lucky. I only

108
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: went to jail a few times for really short period.

109
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: That's what I was. We would get caught. You get

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: caught slipping every once in a while. I mean, back

111
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: the day before regulations. We would tell people when they

112
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: came in and wanted to start a cannabis business. You know,

113
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: they thought it was all easy, and we actually had

114
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: a as. I had a mom from Coda to Kaza

115
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: come in one time. She wanted to start delivery service,

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: and she thought it was gonna be super simple, And

117
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: I said, I'll tell you what. Stand ups, turn around,

118
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: put your hands behind your back, and we put cuffs

119
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: on you. Because that's what it is now. It's a

120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: crime first defended later back before regulations and she promptly

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: and she promptly ran out of the office. So yeah,

122
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: back then we was yet one foot in the felony

123
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: door before regulations hit. Um, now you gotta sleep a

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: little easier, cost a little more more attorneys on staff,

125
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,559
Speaker 1: but in the regulatory process at least you're most likely

126
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: not gonna get hit by the Feds. Although there's still there,

127
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: there's still no protection. There's still no protection right now.

128
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: The only protection is for medical and they're trying to

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: extend that to adult use, which the House of Representatives

130
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: have passed UH an amendment to extend that protection to

131
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: all state sanctioned cannabis businesses. But like you did last year,

132
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: it's gonna probably sieve until the the Senate would have

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: done it already. The Senate is not going to do

134
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: it in a million years until this November. If it

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: flips Democrat, I think we're gonna see the doors open

136
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: up and the Feds take action because the Democrats have

137
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: already done that at the House level. Now the Senate

138
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: has to get involved, and if they both agree, it

139
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what Biden fucking thinks, it's gonna happen. What

140
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: was it like that first time you were arrested. You

141
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: mentioned you did some jail, got caught a couple of times.

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: To tell us about the first the first incident of

143
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: how'd your charity dealing with the cops? You used, that's

144
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: a good story. Actually, so is October sometimes right around

145
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: a friend's birthday. And so I only knew Arcade to

146
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: city of the city and Humble to San Francisco is

147
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: living in San Francisco at the time. Um, so I

148
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: had a connection up in Humble. You know, I was

149
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: barely twenty. I don't even know if I was twenty,

150
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: but anyway, I would get a friend that was twenty

151
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: five to rent me a car for a day for

152
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: a twenty four hour period, jet up to Humble, grab

153
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: two pounds, jet back, do my thing, break it up,

154
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: and you know, get something to smoke out of it

155
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: and make a little money. So one day I was

156
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: I had a friend from out a state who had

157
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: Georgia place. He's like, yeah, I'll take you up there.

158
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: So we went. I stuffed the sleeping bag in the trunk,

159
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: got the two pounds, and uh, we go on our

160
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: way head and south. Of course, you know we had dreadlocks.

161
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: I was just sleep in the back seat. My friends

162
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: are smoking weed while driving, and like, oh man, that's

163
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: not good. Anyway, we got pulled over and like just

164
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: south of Yukaia and Mendocino County, which I had no

165
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: idea what was what. I was just on the one

166
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: on one we get pulled over for going six miles

167
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: over the speed limit. Was pulled over. Was those dreads

168
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: the booms soon as they pulled us or it was

169
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: like I smell it in the car and so you know,

170
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: I took responsibility for that, and uh, they brought me

171
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: into Yukaya. It was I think a Friday. I think

172
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: I had like three dollars to my name at that time,

173
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: so I was locked up. They let me out after

174
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: the three day or whatever um and gave me a

175
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: a court date. And so I didn't have a medical

176
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: card at the moment, so I went right back to

177
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: the Bay Area. Gotten the point with Todd with Dr

178
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Todd mick Aria, who was kind of one of the

179
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: legendary first kind of doctors that was issuing scripts that

180
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, California Medical Board tried to take his license

181
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: and everything. So it was all in those early days.

182
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: So I got my script through him and wound up retroactively.

183
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: The court accepted the the two fifteen, and um, I

184
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: wounded up getting the case dropped only up north, and

185
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: it only happens up so I got lucky there. And

186
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: then in two thousand four I got pulled over in

187
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Orange County, and I was a little bit of a

188
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: different scenario. But eventually, after five court dates, my two

189
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: fifteen got me out of that one too. If that

190
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: one I forgot to ask for my pounds back, that's

191
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: when I wasn't gonna mess with it. Right after the

192
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: second one, I was like, damn yeah. But even then,

193
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: even even then, you got charged it to the game.

194
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: Get yeah, you charge you, you charge it to the game. Um,

195
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: But depending if you had your paperwork, we'll see how

196
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: under to fifteen. If if you had individually, it might

197
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: be hard to get that back you could. But if

198
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: you were under you know, operating a cooperative collectively properly,

199
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: like we did with my kid the second time, when

200
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: we got the felonies dismissed, we were able to walk

201
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: out of the cops station with all his weed, hash money, phones.

202
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: That's the best feeling in the world is getting it

203
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: out of the inevitable. That was awesome. Yeah, Craig, let

204
00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: me ask you this. I mean, you're operating real Craig, no, gently, yeah, Craig,

205
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, operating a square foot uh and up to

206
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: thirty four thousand square feet. I mean, what what kind

207
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: of staff do you employ to operate these kind of

208
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: a facility. I mean, you've got to have a ton

209
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: of people running around for you. And let's talk about

210
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: that or is it just you just out there? We

211
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: leave the hey month of cannabis. Um it's hard because

212
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: I have a management company that manages all of my

213
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: employees throughout the four or five different entities, three main

214
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: cannabis entities. UM So I have nearly a hundred and

215
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: thirties plus or minus employees on average. Right now. UM so,

216
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: we do have forty nine thousand square foot of outdoor cultivation.

217
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: That takes about a full time crew about twelve people

218
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: out there. And then July August when we're harvesting and

219
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: replanning for the second run like that, um we got

220
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: to bring in an additional ten to twelve people. And

221
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: then what really takes a lot of people is the

222
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: manufacturing of products. UM, you know, process thing into packaging,

223
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: getting stuff distribution ready. So so how many medium licenses

224
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: do you have? You're only allowed to have one medium license,

225
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: So I only have one medium license and then an

226
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: array of small LFE. That's what I meant, That's what

227
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: the ten and under. Yes, yes, so you must have

228
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: what twenty of those? No, I have one medium and

229
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: then sick small I believe you know, look telling not

230
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: in that particular property. If I get confused between the

231
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: county and the state, got got you tell our listeners

232
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: how difficult it is and how long it took you

233
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: to go through the process to get actually licensed. It's

234
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: extremely difficult. I mean really it starts with your local municipality,

235
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: so it's kind of depends on how hard and difficult

236
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: they make it. Um humble, you know, I would say

237
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: it was kind of the leader in the pack in

238
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: terms of opening up life insane, not a being easy,

239
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: but kind of catapulted me. And I was really licensing

240
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: um scheme was because the property that I had bought

241
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen had already been visited by

242
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 1: what they called the wet team, which was, you know,

243
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: an array of different agencies that were going to bus

244
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: cannabis projects. So they actually came out to this property

245
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: before I bought it and then gave us a list

246
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: of violations. So that had already started on all the

247
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: use aspects of it. So I was kind of, you know,

248
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to determine whether to go legal or not.

249
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: But I was like, well, I'm just gonna go all in.

250
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I see that people are making a living in Colorado.

251
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: It seems like there's opportunity, so not going for it.

252
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Not not as much in the old days, but you

253
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: still make money. Not like the old days though, No,

254
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: but you know it's you're not looking over your shoulder.

255
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: I like, I like being home and knowing that when

256
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: I hear a helicopter, I don't need to worry about

257
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: laying down and picking me up. We're talking to Craig

258
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: the Jetty out of Humble County is the CEO of

259
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: Talking Trees Farms, Tori Wellness, High Great Distribution, Creation, Skateboards.

260
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: I want to go back to when you went there

261
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: at twenty years old. How did that community because Humboldt

262
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: County man there, you know, it's like a good strong community,

263
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: let alone a cannabis you know community. How did you

264
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: get your in there? Because now you're growing your own farm,

265
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: you have a distribution center, you opened up a dispensary.

266
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: What was your in I mean, was it the guy

267
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: with dredge and just getting along with everybody? How did

268
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: you get accepted into the community, because now you're a

269
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: huge part of it and you're you know, employing a

270
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: lot of people out there. Yeah, I mean, I think

271
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: with the Hemp the Hemp Clothing Company definitely was a

272
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: big factor. You know, been up here and doing producing

273
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: products and most are hard to find, so the brand

274
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: SA Tory movement was pretty popular. And then, um, you know,

275
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: you're just being an area. You get to know people,

276
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: get to know the guys at the growth stores. You know,

277
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: it's a totally different world from when I first moved

278
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: here to now. I mean back in the day, you

279
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to park in the in the hydro store

280
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: parking lot. You would like send a friend in that

281
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: doing the work, you know, someone that because you always

282
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: felt like the cops were what you know, it was

283
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: it was exposure that you wanted to be careful of.

284
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: So um, you you know, even up until a few

285
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: years ago, mutual friends or you know, my kids teachers

286
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and stuff. It was all kind of still hush hush,

287
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: no one really knew what was going on. But now

288
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: that it's you know, all out in the open, at

289
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: least legally local state level, you know, now it's just

290
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: kind of an open book and like, here's what's here's

291
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: what's going on. You want a job, We're still hiring.

292
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy that, I mean, well, we're still trying

293
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: to change the stigma of people who smoke and stoner

294
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: mentality and all that stuff. I mean, it's still is

295
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: amazing to the degree that it is now acceptable when

296
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: you say, yeah, I'm in the cannabis space. I mean,

297
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: people don't really blink twice like they used to. Oh yeah,

298
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: it's cool now oh yeah. I mean I have landlords

299
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: that seven years ago like no, wait, we won't rent

300
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: to a cannabis business, But now you know, they're renting

301
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: to me, and they're all about it, and they're actually

302
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: starting their own cannabis businesses. So you've definitely seen a

303
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: lot a cultural shift from eve men, more conservative people

304
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: that are seeing an opportunity. Um, but you know, it's changing.

305
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: Golden glitter isn't all they're either they think they think

306
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: it's easy money, but I like I like when people

307
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: getting near to cannabis and like, oh, I'm gonna get

308
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: in this and make a bunch of money. I'm like,

309
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: good luck, government's taking it all, you know. I mean

310
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: we when we tell people that when they come in

311
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: for consultations, it's like, hey, this is not you know,

312
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: this isn't what you think it is, and it's not

313
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: the green rush anymore. And we can talk about that

314
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: a little more when we get back from this break.

315
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Welcome back. So Craig, it's just crazy with

316
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: this dude, to which Craig, but both Craigs are crazy,

317
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: but this guy Craig was crazier to start all that

318
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: stuff out there and humble like that. I mean I

319
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: was smart of you Blue, Like Blue, I mean, sending

320
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: people to go buy stuff you couldn't go to the

321
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: hydroponic scort. I bet that was simil because Blue grew

322
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: up with his dad growing we'd I bet it's very

323
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: similar for you too. Well you know those dad, you

324
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: know the big hunter gallon, you know, uh bags or whatever.

325
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: You'd fill it. But you're soiled back in the day

326
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: out there in your hoop houses and whatnot. And you know,

327
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: we we we One time we got a call from

328
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: somebody that said, hey, your your place is gonna get

329
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: raided on Monday. And then we're like this, this is

330
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon. You know, We've got I think it was

331
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: eight hundred of these you know, five hundred gallon bags

332
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: or whatever they were, and we were like what, we

333
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: gotta move all these, you know, And and literally we

334
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: started on Friday. Obviously like we got first of all,

335
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: we left the moment they said that, everybody's yeah, we

336
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: all left. And then, you know, Friday afternoon after I'm

337
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: sweating and you know, trying to figure out what was

338
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. To get these plants, we gotta go grab everything.

339
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: That's all the money. So so we're up in the

340
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: hills and everybody's like, yo, dude, you know the cops

341
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,479
Speaker 1: are down there. They're always, you know, pulling everybody down

342
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: with trucks. So if you had a big truck come

343
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: from the hill, you were like a target, you know.

344
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: So I'm like, well, we're gonna get steak bead trucks,

345
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: you know. So we literally got those open steakbad trucks

346
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: and just put tarps over them so it looked like

347
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: it was open like an open truck, and like you're

348
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: not gonna pull, You're not gonna stuff, you know, eight

349
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 1: hundred trees and you know, in these huge things and

350
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: we had to we had to get forklifts and and

351
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: like you know, it was manpower for days. We moved

352
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: them all. We lost half the damn crop. You know.

353
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: But I understand your stories. I'm sure you had some.

354
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know. One of the things that was

355
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: intriguing me is is some of your long term goals

356
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: of the worm castings and composts and stuff like that,

357
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, creating your own stews. You know, I'm sure

358
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: you're you're you're deep into that. What are your thoughts

359
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: on that, uh, in terms of like the feeding and

360
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: bringing composts and stuff like creating your own your own

361
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: compost and things like that. Is that that that's one

362
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: of your next steps? Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to

363
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: get to a scale we're actually producing like our own

364
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: worm castings and stuff like that. But you know, one

365
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: step at a time. But we definitely uh produce all

366
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: organic um. We use this global soil amendments and then

367
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: pretty much use dry powder products. I try to stay

368
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: away from the bottles as much as possible to in

369
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: terms of you could just stack up container fulls of

370
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: empty bottles freezing liquid nutrients. So you two growers talking

371
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: to each other in another language. You know this work.

372
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: You talked about worm castings and calm. What what is?

373
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: You give me some definitions? Tell me what this means

374
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: in plain English. You know there's worms in the cannabis tequila.

375
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: It's food. Worm casting is basically worm poo, which is

376
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: a great uh, worm conditioner. And do you relax so

377
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: you can't eat any of the worm excrement? Go um?

378
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's great for the soil, it's great for

379
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: the plants. Helps nutrient uptake and then compost is you know,

380
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: how do you pick up literally walk around a little

381
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: little pooper scooper? No, really, you're all joking aside. I

382
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: think people want to know. We're gonna talk. We're gonna

383
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: talk in that little bit of a detail. I mean,

384
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: how does that, How does that happen? How do you

385
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: extract that? Put a little thing in there? Extract? I

386
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: mean if you if you create a bed in an environment,

387
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: the worms will just constantly be eating you know, natural material.

388
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: Some people feed them sawdust all kinds of different things

389
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: and then they'll just when you eat, you poop and

390
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: then you sift those those castings from the like the

391
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: dirt and material and then you can extract that or

392
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: you can just add it to your soil as as

393
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 1: is um. So there's many different ways you can work

394
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: with it. But as we're talking about and we're talking

395
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: about growing in plants and you have the talking trees farms,

396
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: that's where I'm sure you're using all this uh worm

397
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: poop at. What are some of the stranger and strands.

398
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: I know you're selling a Papa and Barkley, Papa selected

399
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of other companies. What are the big strands

400
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: that I see that big company brand and a great

401
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: looking logo behind you talking trees listen to and trees

402
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: grown and humble good byes. I like the logo behind you.

403
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: It has a good look. I mean, like, what are

404
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: your strands and what does that grow? Like? We have

405
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 1: over a hundred strains, so you know, we mainly pack

406
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: a d industribute to like over three stores, so we're

407
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: always trying to find a new strain, work with breeders

408
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: and final Hunt in particular cut. So right now, I

409
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: believe we have, you know, eight greenhouses. We have a

410
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: bed per strains have twenty four strains minimum on one

411
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: farm and then the adjacent farm different twenty four strains

412
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: or more. So we're always tribute to try all of them. Yeah,

413
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: I want to make sure they're good. Listen, you gotta

414
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: make sure you're gonna put it out a good product

415
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: out there. I will tell you, give me all one

416
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: d let me try them out with a with all

417
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: those strains. Uh, Graig, you've got you must have a

418
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: good intellectual property attorney. You're you're you're protecting the names

419
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: of those strains, and what kind of difficulties have you

420
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: had question maneuvering the the intellectual property aspect of all this. Yeah,

421
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: So I'm not too deep into like the breeding side

422
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: of it yet to most of the strains that we

423
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: do have aren't proprietary to us. Um, So I've really

424
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: gotten into that level of it just yet. But I

425
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: know there are people out there. Even a friend of mine,

426
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: you know, I thought I had a strain. Well, I

427
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: knew it was a name out there, so we're like, oh,

428
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: we got this strain. I get a call from my buddies,

429
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: like I'm like why is he calling me. He's like,

430
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: I gotta let you know, man, you're I got noticed

431
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: of trademarking for what trademark? You're stilling my ship? Craig?

432
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: What am I? What are you talking about? Oh? The strain?

433
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, we we trademarked it. It's ours, and I'm

434
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: just kind of laughing. I'm like, okay, well whatever, we'll

435
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: just call it something different. But I know you didn't

436
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: create that strain. He just came up with a name

437
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: and trade mark. Up until recent I think that's all

438
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: strains were the same bag of weed. Let's put this

439
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,199
Speaker 1: over here, those over there, and let's come up with

440
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,239
Speaker 1: some bitching names. Last night thing going on last night

441
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: My friends were making up new names for Oh, this

442
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: is called the I think we should call this, you know.

443
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: It's like this is called the hot ass. Yeah, come on,

444
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: kind of weed? Is that? What's been the number one

445
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: always get? I mean it's always good to get trademarks,

446
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: you know. So if we do start creating our own strains,

447
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: we definitely will trademark. And whether we enforce the trademark

448
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: or let it out and allow other people to grow it,

449
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of good marketing. Strategy to let

450
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: people grow it. Other people want to just hold and

451
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: possess things. That's not really my style. Is cool to

452
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: call someone and be like, hey, that thing you're trying

453
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: to put off, I have my name on it. Yeah, Craig,

454
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: what's the one that's gotten you the most? I would say, wins?

455
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you won the Emerald Cut first place. Pre roles,

456
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: you want at weed con, you want at high times.

457
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: Is that one strain that did it? Or was it

458
00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: a couple of different ones? Different strains? Really? Uh? You

459
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: know right now, one one strain that we really keep

460
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: in our rotation is that we got a really good

461
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: Skittles cut many years ago. And um, it's a hard

462
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: strain to come by that you're gonna get. You're gonna

463
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: get the profile trademark on that. One of the favorite

464
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: it is so good um strain. Even this year, the

465
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: Z money for so z money is a Skittles O

466
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: G Cross. That's a good one, you know. Speaking speaking

467
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: of different products lines, you must be getting ready for

468
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: a huge crop to come down right now. How much

469
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: products are you looking at actually developing this year? I mean,

470
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: you know, harvest time is here, baby, So we're just

471
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: right around the corner for pay day. You know, I

472
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: want to come visit you remember these times in life.

473
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what time it is. Bro. They're they're

474
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: getting ready right now that everybody's getting a couple undercover grows.

475
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 1: We don't know about you're just getting I don't want

476
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: to know. I've heard about mine all over the TV.

477
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: Were you talking about? Let me ask you a question

478
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: right now, I just ask go ahead. Now it's tough.

479
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we probably got about you know right now,

480
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: we're we're already harvesting quite a lot because we do

481
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: two runs of light deep in most of the gardens,

482
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: so we probably got over six pounds ready to process.

483
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: And that's that's the the bottleneck is getting a process,

484
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: especially right now with COVID and everything. We had to

485
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: lay off quite a bit of people at processing, and

486
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: now we have to do the social distancing, so we're

487
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: running into issues with and all the South American kind

488
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: of trimmigrants that you have to rely on to get

489
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: stuff done this time of the year aren't around. So

490
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: getting product to market, and I think we're seeing it

491
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: with other branches because I have a store and the

492
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: distribution is extremely challenging. This year, there's a lot less

493
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 1: people in the workforce. More people are making money on

494
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: unemployment than if they were working. So, yeah, are machine

495
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 1: you can only do such a good job. We don't

496
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: really go that route. So we'd like hand manicured for

497
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: our eight buds and uh, we're just waiting to get

498
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: trimmed to get out to market, but personal love by

499
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: next week. So you're saying later next week, I could

500
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: be smoking. There was a hundred jars that have been

501
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: promised to me earlier that we obviously negotiated during this conversation, right,

502
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: that's report. I just want to weed man, we're all

503
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: talking about it. It's like when you're talking about food.

504
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: For you, you're talking about food, you imagine that many

505
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: strains in front of your going, Oh my goodness, I

506
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: just like to see. My mouth is watering and I

507
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: want to put my lips around the ball immediately, don't

508
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Joe A muzzled muzzled Okay, thank you, what are you guys?

509
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: Because I just got totes and tots of sample bags

510
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: over here. Thank god they can. Thank god they allow samples. Huh,

511
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm not talking before before they actually allowed for the

512
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: sample and allowed a way to track the sample and

513
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: not get taxed on it. I mean, it was bullshit.

514
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: How long is it going to take us to tour

515
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: your whole facility? I mean if we come down and

516
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: at first of all, can we come down? Real? Question

517
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: two is can we if we tour the facility? You know,

518
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: how how long would it take us to tour all

519
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: of them? Are they all close enough to hit Hell? No,

520
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: you guys can't take a whole day. And I've anybody's welcome.

521
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: I actually just got an email right before we got

522
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: on this call that I have a surprise visit from

523
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: the c d F a tomorrow at one of my

524
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: awesome that's that's nice. But then again, I'm sure, I'm

525
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: sure you're in compliance for that. But seven different facilities

526
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: that are kind of spread out, so it would take

527
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: a whole day to see it. We got a weekend

528
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: to put aside. Let's go, boys, were ready. We're talking

529
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: to Craig the gently out of Humble County, and I

530
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: want to touch on high grade distribution. How many products

531
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: are you distributing? But let alone, how did you figure

532
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: let me start also creating my own distribution company that

533
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: can help distribute all my products. It's a brilliant fucking plan.

534
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: You just like capitalize on everything. But but what are

535
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: you pushing out? Yeah? Well, actually, uh high great distribution

536
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: was actually formed in two thousand four when I was

537
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: doing the skateboard business and clothing apparel for selling a

538
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: few of my other friends that have skateboard companies. We

539
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: started distributing for them around the world because that product

540
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: can distribute globally. Um. But once I started getting into

541
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: the cannabis space more and then transition the distribution comming

542
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: to being a Canadas distribution company. UM. So that was

543
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: a natural progression our sorry two thousand team. Um, once

544
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: we were getting all into the canvas permitting and it

545
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: just seemed like a natural progression into distributing and controlling

546
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: where your own products go. Do you only pushed out

547
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: your own products through there? Yea produced And also, h

548
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: you know, I have an agreement with space Jam gummies

549
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: and so we just do talking trees and the space

550
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 1: Jam gummy brand and it keeps us quite busy. It

551
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: is guys. We'll be right back after this break, you know.

552
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: Um actually I think I I've seen I met you.

553
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: It's some of the trade shows at some point and

554
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: um or some of your guys that were out there working,

555
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: and they they had the high grade. Uh the hats

556
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,719
Speaker 1: were those yours or was that another company, you know,

557
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: taking on your infringement. Um, I'm not sure. I'm serious

558
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: about that, because they were really high grade hats too.

559
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: They had a lot of a lot of quality going

560
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: on them, and they were like really stitched well. Um.

561
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: And and I remember they were giving them to me like, oh,

562
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: we're high grade out of the bay and I thought

563
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: it was a guy in his dad or something like that.

564
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: But maybe they're just biting on your They had a

565
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: little pin on them as well. I kind of started

566
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: googling right after this time. I mean, low key that

567
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: was me. I got them on deck right now, you know,

568
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm just playing. No, I did get those on and

569
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: I saw that the hats, they were good quality products.

570
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: And and you know, going into the skateboard thing, you know,

571
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: what were you selling just decks? Are you selling all

572
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: kinds of you know, wheels, accessories? Or was that just

573
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: an apparel line? What was it? I get a little

574
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: bit about the creation skateboards was the decks, and then

575
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: satory movement was theatri wheels, which is like the Earth thing,

576
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: the wheels, and then some clothing was like kind of

577
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: satory movement. Um notable thing there. I was the first

578
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: person to ever figure out how to recycle a skateboard wheel,

579
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: so we made wheels called the Real Life Recycled Wheel Program,

580
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. Nice long waist from long waist

581
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: from the clay that I had. Yeah, those were stone.

582
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: I actually probably was on the tail end. I was

583
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: on the tail end of the of the metal wheels

584
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: go back for I've actually never even skateboard ever. I

585
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: stood on a skateboard one time for a very fake

586
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: gas photo shoot and I was like, oh my god,

587
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: it's rolling, get me off, and then that was it.

588
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: As a kid, I used to love the skateboard and

589
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: my first one my dad made because that's how broke

590
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: we were meal. I'm just gonna get this two by

591
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: four and cut it for you and brinks and wheels

592
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: and us and broke it. I did break it, but

593
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, but it was fun. I wish I had

594
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: a good quality board from you, Craig said. I had

595
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: nothing but sucked up ankles from the scooters that I

596
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: could that we were in Ukraine's all scooters, so I'd

597
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: rather learn how to skateboard. Maybe my ankles would have

598
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: been shown. Were you a big skateboarder as well, Craig,

599
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: did you get in the pipes and did you try

600
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: to make a run for it for the X Games?

601
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: Mhm uh yeah. I was really big in skateboarding, but

602
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: not on that level like X Teams level now. I

603
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: was more just having fun in the streets. Just go

604
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: to hate Nashbury and get rid of whatever in your backpacks?

605
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: Were all the cops in there? Castro? He had to

606
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: he had to, He had to. He had to figure

607
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: out a way to move that money around, right, So

608
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, I I have a few scars. I got

609
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: one on my chin, Yeah, seven stitches in my chin,

610
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: and then my four had have a scar right here

611
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,280
