00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: one on one is the place to be. So we

64
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: have an amazing guest for you guys today. His name

65
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: is Weldon Angelus, Right, Weldon, Welcome to the show. Weldon,

66
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: how are you today? What's up? Man? Thanks for having me,

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: no doubt man. So Weldon, how's the Weldon The Weldon Project?

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: It's to help people that are currently incarcerated, right, and

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: can you share that with us a little bit? Yeah? So, Um,

70
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: when I got obviously, I did time in prison for

71
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: cannabis myself, sir, thirteen years on a fifty five year

72
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: sentence for nine with the cannabis. And you know what

73
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah, when I got out, you know, because

74
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: of President Obama's clemency program, and I had a lot

75
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: of people pulling for me, like Cory Booker, Senator Mike Lee,

76
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: the Koch brothers even, um, we're pushing for me. And

77
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: I got out and I hit the ground running. I

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: started working with the White House and numerous senators and celebrities,

79
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: and we got the first criminal justice reform passed since

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy in the federal system. However, it didn't affect

81
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: anyone in prison for cannabis cases. So when after we

82
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: passed out, you know, we were celebrating the White House,

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I thought of my friends who were in prison for

84
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: operating a medical dispensary in California who got twenty two years,

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: and so I launched the Weldon Project and our first

86
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: initiative is Mission Green, and Mission Green is dedicated solely

87
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: to the freedom of people in prison for cannabis. Wow. Congratulations,

88
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: And I've seen your story. You've been on like several

89
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: news like you've been on national news stuff as well. Right,

90
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: I've heard this story before. Yeah, I hear what you're

91
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: doing and doing. How do you figure out who you're

92
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: gonna help as far as it is only cannabis, or

93
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: if it's cannabis and they had method fetamines and a gun,

94
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: how do you narrow that down? Well, so, right now

95
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: we're focused on purely cannabis cases because we feel like

96
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: they're the low hanging fruit, and especially with this president,

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: it's not as easy getting clemency as it was under Obama,

98
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: and so we're trying to narrow it down to like

99
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: the easiest group of people, Like we got a guy

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: named Luke who was just operating a medical dispensary in

101
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: Modesto two thousand and eight. He was indicted following state law.

102
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: He didn't commit any other crimes. He got twenty two years.

103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: And so we're looking for people that fit this criteria

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: and we're taking him to the President. I have a

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: relationship with the White House, and we're asking for clemency

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: for this category. And we believe this will send a

107
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: message to Congress that they need broader reform to affect

108
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: other people who may not have such compelling cases. Now

109
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: do you find that that you know you're getting? I mean,

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: I guess you can't move the ball fast enough, right,

111
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's it's a such a small process.

112
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: Or is this a process that's Have you guys been

113
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: successful yet, you know, with obviously getting people like yourself out?

114
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean we we got the guy

115
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned his named Luke Scarmazzo. We were able to

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: get his code defining out Ricardo Montez. They had the

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: same case, and we I filed their clemency petitions to

118
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: the President. One was granted, one was denied. And so

119
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: it's that random selection, you know that that we're trying

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: to to to change because you know, right now, the

121
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: people who are deciding these cases are the prosecutors. And

122
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: so this president, you know, despite what people may think

123
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: of him, he created a clemency committee that takes the

124
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: discretion from the Department of Justice, who's the one that

125
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: put us there in the first place, and putting in

126
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: a group of thirteen individuals who are some formally incarcerated,

127
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: uh and people who are in politics and different areas,

128
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: and they are bypassing the d o J and deciding

129
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: these cases directly. And so I believe things will start

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: speeding up now. I love hearing that about Donald Trump,

131
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: to tell you the truth, and I'm not a fan.

132
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna front and Accrackham, but I love hearing

133
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: you share a good story because I want to hear

134
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: more good stories about this dude. Why I'm happy to

135
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: hear that. Why Why did the committee do they make

136
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: any decision or say why they let one guy off?

137
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: The same exact fact that for the committee that was

138
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: the d o JEW. The people that put you in

139
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: prison have the decision and whether or not you get

140
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: clemency because the presidents, they haven't traditionally granted clemency unless

141
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: the prosecutor stamped it right now. Trump took that away

142
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: from them and created an independent committee that will look

143
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: at these petitions, vote on him, and send him up

144
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: to the White House Council for approval. How many of

145
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: you presented under that format yet? If any, I mean

146
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: we present, they've passed already thirty and we're just waiting

147
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: on those to come down. Just in February, I went

148
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: to the White House and hand delivered a letter to

149
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: the President asking him to start commuting these individual cases

150
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: like Luke's. And right after that, a female who was

151
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: serving twenty years for cannabis. She had served fifteen years

152
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: and she was released. But then COVID hit us, and

153
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: so I believe that kind of slowed it down. But

154
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I do believe that we will see more cases coming.

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: And we're also working in the courts too. You know,

156
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: we passed some legislation that allowed judges to give these

157
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: cases a second look, and we're using Luke's as a

158
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: test case for that. We're talking to Weldon from the

159
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Weldon Project and he's making waves is Blue and this

160
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: guy is amazing what he's doing. Well, then, are you

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: a lawyer by any chance? As you served your one

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: of the thirteen years in prison? Did you get your

163
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: degree in prison? No? I got a lot of people

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: out of jail, though, and so you know, I just stay.

165
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: I had fifty five years, so I didn't know if

166
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I ever get now. So I buried myself in law

167
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: books and you know, and I got a lot of people.

168
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: I couldn't get myself out, but I was able to

169
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: create a coalition that eventually resulted in my release. Where

170
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: are you a local lawyer? But I'm good. Where are

171
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: you located at? What area? Salt Lake City, Utah? That's

172
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: beautiful what you're doing. And I'm just warning. I got

173
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: these two lawyers that I do a show with called

174
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: The Cannabis Talk one on one. I'm wondering if you

175
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: could teach them how to get people out of prison,

176
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: because they're real lawyers and can't do ship for people. Definitely,

177
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who he's talking to A strategies I

178
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: will not best. I'm not talking about you. Well, then,

179
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: why why do you think the president you know, uh

180
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: created that policy? Uh you know what, or allowed that

181
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: policy to pass? What what what do you think is thought

182
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: process was behind that? Each talk about the committee or

183
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: the or the first step act, the legislation, the committee.

184
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Will you know, he's not a typical politician, and typical

185
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: politicians look at things like will this affect my re election?

186
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Will this affect my legacy. Given that he's not a

187
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: typical politician, he doesn't care. He doesn't factor those into

188
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: his decision making. You know, he looks to the people pleaser.

189
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: And so a lot of people have taken this to

190
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: his attention and shown how injust this the system is.

191
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: Like Alice Marie Johnson, who Kim Kardashian successfully lobbied the

192
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: president to let out the pardon office denied her petition

193
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: like four times twice under Obama, once under a Bush

194
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: and once under Trump. And so you know, that was

195
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: evidence alone that this old grandmother who was in there

196
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: for a non violent drug offense should have been out

197
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: years ago, and she had a life sentence. So he

198
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: looked at it like, Okay, this system is messed up.

199
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Let's form our own committee and let's look at these ourselves.

200
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: And I think it's a good thing. Even if we

201
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: let out some of his his home boys or somebody

202
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: his affiliates, if we get out a lot of other people,

203
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: it's worth it. To me, No, no, I'll tell you

204
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: I agree, you know what if if it works and

205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: gets people out, But I disagree on his motives. His

206
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: motives I think are everybody has denied this. Lady Kim

207
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: Kardashians come to me, this is gonna look so good.

208
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: Look what I did. Now if that result that result

209
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: he's getting in this Donald Trump, if that results and

210
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: people getting out, then I really don't care what his

211
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: motive is. I don't really care. I think it's great

212
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: and if that's what it takes for him at this

213
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: point in time, at the place he is for him,

214
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: Politician Craig, I mean, I don't care. Was there too.

215
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: Obama would have been the same thing. Boma didn't let

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: her go either. But my point is everyone has Kim

217
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: didn't bring him to the table though, you know what

218
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean. Kim Kardashian walked up coming at you Kardashians. Man,

219
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: they're doing a great job. So so well then you know,

220
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: starting the Weldon project, obviously, I I would imagine you know,

221
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: in your doing fifty years, you know, thirteen years, you've

222
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: got a lot of time to think, right, So so

223
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: in that thirteen years period of time, did you create

224
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: it inside the tank or did you come out of

225
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: it come creating it? I mean, where where did it?

226
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: Where was it birth? And then you know who's involved

227
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: with you in it? Now? Are you solo? How's that

228
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: working out? Yeah? No, Actually I created when I got

229
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: out of jail. You know, I didn't know I would

230
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: be getting out when I did, and it was sort

231
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: of sudden. And so when I got out, you know,

232
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I started producing the documentary. You know, that was the

233
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: first thing we did, just to kind of raise awareness.

234
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: And then I ended up at the White House and

235
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: meeting with doing panels with Corey Booker and Mike Lee

236
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: and the Koch brothers. I felt like I should use

237
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: my influence and my connections to effect change. And so,

238
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, one of my former partners in the music industry,

239
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: Big Hollis Um, worked with me to create this nonprofit.

240
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: And we have other people involved in this, including celebrities

241
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: and athletes and political figures, and you know, we're trying

242
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: to take this to the next level. And for instance,

243
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: recently we just welcomed Stormy Simon the Formacy of High

244
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Times to to the team, and so you know, we're

245
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: really excited and we're growing and especially right now with

246
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 1: everything that's coming out, Like we really need to push

247
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: this and we're trying to get the industry behind us

248
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: because we could do a lot with the connections that

249
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: we have. You know, we we we like Stormy Simon's

250
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: we just great. We just had her on the show recently,

251
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: so that's a you know, a great move for you

252
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: guys as well. Um, she's also gonna be running for

253
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: something in office out there in Idaho. Yeah yeah, yeah,

254
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: so to change because you know, we have a medical

255
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: marijuana law out here and it's crap. Like we had

256
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: a ballot initie that was amazing and the legislature tore

257
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: it up. And I think that's part of the motivation

258
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: for wanting to run the office here. So let's talk

259
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: about some of the celebrities have got behind you, because

260
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: I know, suit Dog, there's I mean, there's a ton

261

Speaker 1: a ton of people, even had former Governor Gary Johnson

266
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: and a bunch of Republicans, and so we have a

267
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: long list of these celebrities that have been supporting us

268
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: and supporting our letters to the president and supporting our nigatives.

313
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: tough to get them all. And so we're gonna pick

00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: can support ourselves. But we do take donations and there

353
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,399

00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: not Craig because Craig walking and still be lost. What helping?

460
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: You know What's funny though, And I want you guys,

461
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: and I know it's just fire and you hate it,

462
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: but to really sit back and think how many folks

463
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: are in there just for cannabis, and I mean in

464
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: there for prison were this dude, It just it just

465
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: it just makes me freak out. For nine hundred dollars

466
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: or the cannabis. For years, he was giving fifty That's

467
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He was giving fifty five and he served.

468
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: But that that's Salt Lake City for you though there

469
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: right so you no, no, no, it's not Salt Lake City.

00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: his friends who had a dispensary in Modesto. It's back

472
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: in oh wait, they were still rating dispensaries even though

473
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: they were legal under California law at the federal level,

474
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: it was not a defense. You couldn't use the state

475
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: laws as a defense at the federal level. So people

476
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: were still getting put in federal prisons due to marijuana

560
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: doctor saying you know what the gas is? No, I

561
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 1: don't know. That's why you can smokes games. You don't

562
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: know what? Yeah, why don't we're basking about doctors. We're

563
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: talking about well, because he's sitting here going to the

564
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: doctors earlier. The guy's grabbing his stomach like he's got

565
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: punched to the guys, and I'm worried about it. I

566
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 1: don't shake that. But you know what, there's no time

567
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: for that. We got work to do, so there's pretty time. Man.

568
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, he's talking about gas like he's smoking yas well.

569
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: I hope you're good. I got something to bring up

570
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: to you, guys, and I want your take on this now.

571
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: A group of sixteen experts baked to you. They're putting

572
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: together like a Kaiser perman esca right, so like a

573
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: pharmaceutic with not a pharmas hospital style. But he's putting

574
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,360
Speaker 1: together a federal agency and they're recommending that primary doctors

575
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: screen their patients for unhealthy drug use. Makes sense, right?

576
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: I want to see if somebody has heroin in their system,

577
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: maybe a little meth and fhetamines. But why are they

578
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: considering putting cannabis as an unhealthy drug in there when

579
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: tobacco and are not being accepted. It's a group of

580
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: sixty team U S. Department of Health and Human Services,

581
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: the US exactly so I can get into all the

582
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: big details that why that's no, not the individuals, but

583
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: who's putting it on? Yes, that's it right, US Department

584
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: of Health and Humans something that I want to I

585
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: think it might be contradicted because I do believe that

586
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: they do. They ask you every time you go see

587
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: that do you drink and do you smoke? Well? No,

588
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: you know what's fucked up? Is? I mean, you know

589
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: what six in California explain a little more please. Prop

590
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: sixty five is the initiative. Is the proposition that the

591
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: law that says you have to list everything that could

592
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: kill you on a you know the what is it?

593
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: The vapors at the gas station can be harmful. You're

594
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: in McDonald's and it says something about whatever vapors DINSDA

595
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: from the thing. They added cannabis. Cannabis is on the

596
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: list as it could kill you. What did they say,

597
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: what's the reason smoking could be harmful to your real

598
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: you know what? That's anything could be harmful to your health,

599
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: not not one, not one other drug or chemical that's

600
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: listed in Prop sixty can actually help you. Cannabis can

601
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: help you. How it has to be on that. I'm

602
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: not saying that they're just they're just categorizing it in

603
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: the bad chemical you know, in the bad chemical batch. Yeah,

604
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: they're just adding adding, you know, shipped to the shame.

605
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: So so I think what it comes to though, Craig, though,

606
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: is that when you can bust cannabis and the smoke,

607
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, the actual action of smoking, which is probably

608
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: the most harmful way to to ingest cannabis is by

609
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: a straight smoking it. Um, is why they're doing it,

610
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: and it's just safety, you know. I would say, you know,

611
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the end of the world, um,

612
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: but I certainly do think they should have more of

613
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: a information on there about Although when you say what

614
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: you just said, Craig, and more information Blue, I'm actually

615
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: switching and converting a little bit because I'm thinking going,

616
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: if anybody smokes that inflames their lungs, period, there's no

617
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 1: question about what they're smoking. It inflames the lungs period. Now,

618
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: what I'm smoking may help some other things, but I'm

619
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: still inflaming my lungs while I'm smoking something that's helping

620
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: something else and might even help my lungs later as well.

621
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: The point to the moral is if it inflames the

622
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: lungs and could cause harm, which is more research that

623
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: we need to prove this. I think they're going off

624
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 1: of maybe that theory alone, because show me the death

625
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: of the man woman that died from smoking weed. It's

626
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: probably there, sugar warning, big old thing. Go on. If

627
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: this creates diabetes, creates losing your limbs, creates on there,

628
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: that's a great that's a great point. Donalds, isn't on there?

629
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: You fat obese to keep They're not on there? I mean,

630
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: you're you're right. I I would actually question that night

631
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I think we should sue him

632
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: for to day. I think we should do a class

633
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: action lawsuit for not being on there. It's just spearheaded.

634
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: It's a good point. Can we do to counterback, Like, dude,

635
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: why why can't you? You can? You can do whatever

636
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: you want? Is it the us? Do whatever? You mean? Yeah? Yeah,

637
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: just ask them all for a hunter grant and just

638
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: go after it. The US, you know what, the way

639
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: we do things some words, we go yeah, yeah, yeah,

640
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: let's do it, and then you lose. We would say,

641
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna lose, but if you want to do it,

642
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: I'll take the money. That's how you do That's how

643
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: we do it. You would do for you your Puerto

644
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: Rican brother here, No, because you're probably gonna lose. Why why? Why?

645
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's sugar. I don't know. If we talk

646
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: about this, there's other things that you guys can be

647
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: putting tags on white cannabis. Where's the proof? Where's the proof?

648
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: That's what I mean? The proof? Do we do the meat?

649
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: Do we sue the state? You look at that old

650
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: lady from Wendy's. I don't know who you'd do. I

651
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: really don't know. I don't know you wouldn't you see

652
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: the US Department of Health and Human Services called the

653
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: US Providence Services Task in California TF. It's like, who

654
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: the are these exactly? That's what it sounds like. You know,

655
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: well listen, I mean you know, but I bet you

656
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: if you put candy in cannabis, they're gonna make you

657
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: put all those tags on it. But if you make

658
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: candy with you know, sugar, the candy now will kill

659
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: you because it has cannabis and the sugar in it.

660
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: But they never said it when it had the sugar

661
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 1: in there, that you kill you because sugar is one

662
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: of the most addicting drugs in the world. Oh my god.

663
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 1: You look around, you look around, you look at all

664
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: the people that shoulda that you might be drinking right now.

665
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: Well they you know what it can change because I

666
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: don't do that area of the loss. I really didn't know,

667
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: but it just opped in my head that when they

668
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: probasically five came out, caffeine was on the list that

669
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: had to be disclosed Starbucks. I mean, there was a

670
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: huge backlash and they ended up taking that off the list. Wow, Craig,

671
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 1: So we do have a lawsuit? We do? We do?

672
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: I think we should take it to the Supreme Court.

673
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what though, Supreme Court,

674
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. No, we're gonna do it right

675
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: here today. We're gonna take a vote. Okay where the

676
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: court where the court comment? No, So the judge and

677
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: the jury are the people out there and they're gonna

678
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: call and leave a comment. Okay, give him that number, Joe.

679
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: It's really easy to call and leave a comment. The

680
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: phone number is eight hundred. That's eight leave a comment.

681
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: And if you've watched any of the shows recently, you'll

682
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: see how great Craig Washerman looks. Once he got his

683
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,760

Speaker 1: He looks like zz tops Gardner for a while. I

687
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: had that right here to I gotta throw something house

688
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: by you guys. And you know, as we talk about

689
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: money and suing a company a marijuana mso Justy buys

690
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 1: they're called justin. Excuse me, excuse me just she not justin.

691
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: My eyes are going bad ms oh JUSSI j U

692
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: s h I. Boys. They buy a facility in Pennsylvania

693
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: for thirty seven million dollars or cannabis. So it's just

694
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: goes to show me how that works. Well, you know what,

695
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna get you to the point,

696
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: Craig and I hear you, let's see how it works out.

697
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: At the point I want to make the people out

698
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: there is what Blue has been preaching from jump streets.

699
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: Start your fucking business, folks, if you're thinking about doing it.

700
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 1: This guy that started his business in Pennsylvania, guess what

701
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: he got for thirty seven million dollars. Wait a minute,

702
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I hate to be the old grumpy

703
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, Come with it. You always work at the details.

704
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,479
Speaker 1: But the devil's in the details. How much is cash

705
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: and how much a stock? Well, it doesn't think the

706
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: funds and the purchase. That's just he secured. So that

707
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: company secured fifteen point to five million in debt financial

708
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: that was led by insiders and existing shareholders. The accusation

709
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: involves a purchase of Pennsylvania Medical Medical Solutions, a licensed

710
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: medical maror wanna grower processor at a Scranton owned But

711
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't know. I'm trying. I wish I

712
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: would have known that answer, but I don't know. Bottom line,

713
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: it's a nine thousand square foot location cultivation, you know.

714
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: And my point to the story is, and why I

715
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: like to go green with something like this is I've

716
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: heard Blue preach this, teach this. We work with people,

717
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: we encourage people, and as you, Craig work with people

718
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: to start businesses, but say it that cost a lot

719
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: of money. And those who do guess what. I don't

720
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: think the business that this person sold cost to them

721
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollars to create. I could be wrong, No,

722
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

723
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: So my point four old and maybe my point and

724
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: world of the story is maybe a hunter gun you know,

725
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: way you never know n square footbil it is covered,

726
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: but it's in Pennsylvania. But no, he he all got them.

727
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: The guy that actually started man, not that started zero.

728
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: He might have followed money like Trump got involved today.

729
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 1: I'm not saying how many he's on an architect. He's

730
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: found a grower and he's put the pieces to the

731
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: plumy what's wrongs and other people but have been and

732
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: by the way, I see it right here at Craig.

733
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: Let me answer your question. Paying sixteen point three million

734
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: dollars in cash, paying three point eight million cellar notes

735
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: and eight percent interests with curing in four years, assume

736
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: a seventeen million dollar facility association of a long term opposition,

737
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: So that can we're looking at and you know what,

738
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm very good, Joe, thank you for clearing that up,

739
