Speaker 1: actually the judge order his done be taken away because

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,560

63
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: is the place to be. So we have an amazing

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: guest for you guys today. His name is Weldon Angelus, Right, Weldon,

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Weldon, how are you today? What's up? Man?

66
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me, no doubt man. So Weldon has

67
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: the Weldon the Weldon Project. It's to help people that

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: are currently incarcerated, right, and can you share that with

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: us a little bit? Yeah? So, Um, when I got obviously,

70
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: I did time in prison for cannabis myself, sir, thirteen

71
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: years on a fifty five year sentence for nine with

72
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: the cannabis. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, when I

73
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: got out, you know, because of President Obama's clemency program,

74
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: and I had a lot of people pulling for me,

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: like Cory Booker, Senator Mike Lee, the Koch brothers, even, um,

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: we're pushing for me. And I got out and I

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. I started working with the White

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: House and numerous senators and celebrities, and we got the

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: first criminal justice reform passed since nineteen seventy in the

80
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,919
Speaker 1: federal system. However, it didn't affect anyone in prison for

81
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: cannabis cases. So when after we passed out, you know,

82
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: we were celebrating the White House, I thought of my

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: friends who were in prison for operating a medical dispensary

84
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: in California who got twenty two years, and so I

85
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: launched the Weldon Project And our first initiative is Mission Green,

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: and Mission Green is dedicated solely to the freedom of

87
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: people in prison for cannabis. Wow. Congratulations, And I've seen

88
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: your story. You've been on like several news like you've

89
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: been on national news stuff as well. Right, I've heard

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: this story before. Yeah, I hear what you're doing and doing.

91
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: How do you figure out who you're gonna help as

92
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: far as it's only cannabis, or if it's cannabis and

93
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: they had method fetamines and a gun, how do you

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: narrow that down? Well, so, right now we're focused on

95
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: purely cannabis cases because we feel like they're the low

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: hanging fruit, and especially with this president, it's not as

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: easy getting clemency as it was under Obama, and so

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: we're trying to narrow it down to like the easiest

99
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: group of people. Like we got a guy named Luke

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: who was just operating a medical dispensary in Modesto two

101
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. He was indicted following state law. He

102
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: didn't commit any other crimes. He got twenty two years.

103
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: And so we're looking for people that fit this criteria

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: and we're taking him to the President. I have a

105
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: relationship with the White House, and we're asking for clemency

106
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: for this category. And we believe this will send a

107
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: message to Congress that they need broader reform to affect

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: other people who who may not have such compelling cases.

109
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: Now do you find that that you know you're getting?

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can't move the ball fast enough, right,

111
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, but it's it's a such a slow process.

112
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: Or is this a process that's Have you guys been

113
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: successful yet, you know, with obviously getting people like yourself out?

114
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean we we got the guy

115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned his named Luke Scarmazzo. We were able to

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: get his cod defining out. Ricardo Montez. They had the

117
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: same case and we I filed their clemency petitions to

118
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: the President. One was granted, one was denied. And so

119
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: it's that random selection, you know that that we're trying

120
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: to to to change because you know, right now, the

121
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: people who are deciding these cases are the prosecutors. And

122
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: so this president, you know, despite what people may think

123
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: of him, he created a clemency committee that takes the

124
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: discretion from the Department of Justice, who's the one that

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: put us there in the first place, and putting in

126
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: a group of thirteen individuals who are some formally incarcerated,

127
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: uh and people who are in politics and different areas,

128
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: and they are bypassing the d o J and deciding

129
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: these cases directly. And so I believe things will start

130
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: speeding up. Now. I love hearing that about Donald Trump,

131
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: to tell you the truth, and I'm not a fan.

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna front and Accrackham, but I love hearing

133
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: you share a good story because I want to hear

134
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: more good stories about this dude. Why I'm happy to

135
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: hear that. Why Why did the committee do they make

136
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: any decision or say why they let one guy off?

137
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: The same exact fact for the committee that was the

138
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: d o J. Chew. The people that put you in

139
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: prison have the decision whether or not you get clemency

140
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: because the presidents, they haven't traditionally granted clemency unless the

141
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: prosecutor stamped it right now. Trump took that away from

142
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: them and created an independent committee that will look at

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: these petitions, vote on him, and send him up to

144
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: the White House Council for approval. How many of you

145
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: presented under that format yet? If any, I mean we present,

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: they've passed already thirty and we're just waiting on those

147
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: to come down. Just in February, I went to the

148
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: White House and hand delivered a letter to the President

149
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: asking him to start commuting these individual cases like Luke's.

150
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: And right after that, a female who was serving twenty

151
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: years for cannabis. She had served fifteen years and she

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: was released. But then COVID hit us, and so I

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: believe that kind of slowed it down. But I do

154
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: believe that we will see more cases coming. And we're

155
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: also working in the courts too. You know, we passed

156
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: some legislation that allowed judges to give these cases a

157
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: second look, and we're using Luke's as a test case

158
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: for that. We're talking to Weldon from the Weldon Project

159
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: and he's making waves is Blue and this guy is

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: amazing what he's doing. Well, then, are you a lawyer

161
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: by any chance? As you served your one of the

162
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: thirteen years in prison. Did you get your degree in prison? No?

163
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: I got a lot of people out of jail, though,

164
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: and so you know, I just stay. I had fifty

165
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: five years, so I didn't know if I was ever

166
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: get now. So I buried myself in law books and

167
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, and I got a lot of people. I

168
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: couldn't get myself out, but I was able to create

169
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: a coalition that eventually resulted in my release. Where are

170
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: you a a local lawyer? But I'm good. Where are you

171
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: located at? What area? Salt Lake City, Utah? That's beautiful

172
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: what you're doing. And I'm just warning. I got these

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: two lawyers that I do a show with called The

174
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: Cannabis Talk one on one. I'm wondering if you could

175
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: teach them how to get people out of prison, because

176
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: they're real lawyers and can't do ship for people. Definitely,

177
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: I'm not sure who he's talking to A strategies I

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: will not bested. I'm not talking about your Well, then,

179
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: why why do you think the president you know, uh

180
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: created that policy? Uh you know what, or allowed that

181
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: policy to pass? What what what do you think is thought

182
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: process was behind that? Each time? About the committee or

183
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: the or the first step Act, the legislation, the committee.

184
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: Will you know, he's not a typical politician, and typical

185
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: politicians look at things like will this affect my re election?

186
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: Will this affect my legacy. Given that he's not a

187
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: typical politician, he doesn't care. He doesn't factor those into

188
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: his decision making. You know, he looks to the people pleaser.

189
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: And so a lot of people have taken this to

190
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: his attention and shown how injust this the system is.

191
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: Like Alice Marie Johnson, who Kim Kardashian successfully lobbied the

192
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: president to let out. The pardon office denied her petition

193
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: like four times twice under Obama, once under a Bush

194
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: and once under Trump. And so you know, that was

195
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: evidence alone that this old grandmother who was in there

196
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: for a non violent drug offense should have been out

197
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: years ago, and she had a life sentence. So he

198
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: looked at it like, Okay, this system is messed up.

199
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Let's form our own committee and let's look at these ourselves.

200
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: And I think it's a good thing. Even if we

201
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: let out some of his his homeboys or some of

202
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: his affiliates, if we get out a lot of other people,

203
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: it's worth it to me. No, No, I'll tell you.

204
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: I agree, you know what if if it works and

205
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: gets people out, But I disagree on his motives. His

206
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: motives I think are everybody has denied this. Lady Kim

207
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: Kardashians come to me, this is gonna look so good.

208
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: Look what I did. Now, if that result that result

209
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: he's getting in this Donald Trump, if that results and

210
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: people getting out, then I really don't care what his

211
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: motive is. I don't really care. I think it's great

212
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: and if that's what it takes for him at this

213
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: point in time, at the place he is, for him,

214
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 1: Politician Craig, I mean, I don't care. Was there too.

215
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: Obama would have been the same thing. Boma didn't let

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: her go either. But my point is everyone has Kim

217
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: didn't bring him to the table though, you know what

218
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean. Kim Kardashian walked up coming at you. I Kardashians, man,

219
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: they're doing a great job. So so well then you know,

220
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: starting the Weldon project, obviously, I I would imagine you know,

221
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: in your doing fifty years, you know, thirteen years, you've

222
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: got a lot of time to think, right, So so

223
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: in that thirteen years period of time, did you create

224
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: it inside the tank or did you come out of it?

225
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: Come creating it? I mean, where where did it? Where

226
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: was it birth? And then you know who's involved with

227
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: you in it? Now? Are you solo? How's that working out? Yeah? No,

228
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Actually I created when I got out of jail. You know,

229
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know I would be getting out when I did,

230
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: and it was sort of sudden. And so when I

231
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: got out, you know, I started producing the documentary. You know,

232
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: that was the first thing we did, just to kind

233
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: of raise awareness. And then I ended up at the

234
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: White House and meeting with doing panels with Corey Booker

235
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: and Mike Lee and the Koch brothers. I felt like

236
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: I should use my influence and my connections to effect change.

237
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: And so, you know, one of my former partners in

238
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: the music industry, Big Hollis Um, worked with me to

239
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: create this nonprofit. And we have other people involved in this,

240
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: including celebrities and athletes and political figures, and you know,

241
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to take this to the next level. And

242
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: for instance, recently we just welcomed Stormy Simon the Formacy

243
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: of High Times to to the team, and so, you know,

244
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: we're really excited that we're growing, and especially right now

245
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: with everything that's coming out, like we really need to

246
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: push this and we're trying to get the industry behind

247
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 1: us because we could do a lot with the connections

248
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: that we have. You know, we we we like Stormy

249
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: Simon's we just great. We just had her on the

250
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: show recently, so that's a you know, a great move

251
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 1: for you guys as well. Um, she's also gonna be

252
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: running for something in the office out there in Idaho. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

253
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: so to change because you know, we have a medical

254
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: marijuana law out here and it's crap. Like we had

255
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: a ballot initie that was amazing and the legislature tore

256
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: it up. And I think that's part of the motivation

257
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: for wanting to run the office here. So let's talk

258
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: about some of the celebrities have got behind you, because

259
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I know, suit Dog, there's I mean, there's a ton

Speaker 1: So we want to have our own products that we

351
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: can support ourselves. But we do take donations and there

352
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,479

00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: but to really sit back and think how many folks

00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: or the cannabis. For years, he was giving fifty That's

466
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He was giving fifty five and he served.

467
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,160

Speaker 1: It's back in oh wait, they were still rating dispensaries

472
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: even though they were legal under California law. At the

473
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: federal level, it was not a defense. You couldn't use

474
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: the state laws as a defense at the federal level.

475
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: So people were still getting put in federal prisons due

00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: back after this. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one oh

553
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: one where Greg Washerman sits next to me with the

554
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: most mass that we've ever had. I was when I

555
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: got a lot I got you know what, I've got

556
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: the jet fuel. I said, you can leaves, man, you

557
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: don't want to leave. I've got the gas all day

558
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: all the doctor saying, you know what the gas is? No,

559
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's why you can smoke as games.

560
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: You don't know what? Yeah, why don't we're basking about doctors.

561
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: We're talking about well, because he's sitting here going to

562
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: the doctors earlier. The guy's grabbing his stomach like he's

563
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: got punched to the guns. And I'm worried about it.

564
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: I don't shake that. But you know what, there's no

565
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: time for that. We got work to do. So there's

566
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: pert time. Man. You know he's talking about gas like

567
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: he's smoking gas. Well, I hope you're looking on. I

568
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: got something to bring up to you, guys, and I

569
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: want your take on this now. A group of sixteen

570
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: experts baked to you. They're putting together like a Kaiser

571
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: permanentc right, so like a pharmaceutic not a pharmer hospital style.

572
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: But he's putting together a federal agency and they're recommending

573
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: that primary term doctors screened their patients for unhealthy drug use.

574
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: Makes sense, right? I want to see if somebody has

575
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: heroin in their system, maybe a little meth and fhetamines.

576
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: But why are they considering putting cannabis as an unhealthy

577
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: drug in there when tobacco and are not being accepted.

578
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: It's a group of sixty the team, the US Department

579
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services, the US exactly so I

580
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: can get into all the big details that why that's no,

581
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: not the individuals, but who's putting it on. Yes, that's

582
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: it right, the US Department of Health and Humans something

583
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: that I want to I think it might be contradicted

584
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: because I do believe that they do. They ask you

585
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: every time you go see that, do you drink and

586
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: do you smoke? Well? No, you know what's fucked up? Is?

587
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what six in California explain a

588
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: little more please. Prop sixty five is the initiative, is

589
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: the proposition that the law that says you have to

590
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: list everything that could kill you on a you know

591
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: the what is it? The vapors at the gas station

592
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: can be harmful. You're in McDonald's and it says something

593
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: about whatever vapors in the soda from the thing they

594
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: added cannabis. Cannabis is on the list. As it could

595
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: kill you. What did they say, what's the reason smoking

596
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: could be harmful to your real you know what? That's

597
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: anything could be harmful to your health, not not one,

598
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: not one other drug or chemical that's listed in Prop

599
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: sixty can actually help you. Cannabis can help you. How

600
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: it has to be on that. I'm not saying that

601
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: they're just they're just categorizing it in the bad chemical

602
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, in the bad chemical batch. Yeah, they're just

603
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: adding adding, you know, shipped to the shame. So so

604
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: I think what it comes to though, Craig, though, is

605
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: that when you can bust cannabis and the smoke, you know,

606
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: the actual action of smoking, which is probably the most

607
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: harmful way to to ingest cannabis is by a straight

608
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: smoking it. Um. Is why they're doing it, and it's

609
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: just safety, you know. I would say, you know, I

610
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's the end of the world, um, but

611
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: I certainly do think they should have more of a

612
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: information on there about Although when you say what you

613
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: just said, Craig, and more information Blue, I'm actually switching

614
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: and converting a little bit because I'm thinking going if

615
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: anybody smokes that inflames their lungs, period. There's no question

616
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: about what they're smoking. It inflames the lungs. Period. Now

617
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: what I'm smoking may help some other things, but I'm

618
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 1: still inflaming my lungs while I'm smoking something that's helping

619
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 1: something else and might even help my lungs later as well.

620
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: The point to the moral is if it inflames the

621
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: lungs and could cause harm, which is more research that

622
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: we need to prove this. I think they're going off

623
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: of maybe that theory alone, because show me the death

624
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: of the man woman that died from smoking weed. But

625
00:30:54,800 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: it's probably there sugar sugar warnings. I'm big old thing

626
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: on this creates diabetes, creates losing your limbs, creates on there.

627
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: That's a great that's a great point. Donalds isn't on there?

628
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: You fat obese to keep They're not on there? I mean,

629
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: you're you're right. I I would actually question that night

630
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know. I think we should sue him

631
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: for to day. I think we should do a class

632
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: action lawsuit for not being on there. It's just spearheaded.

633
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: It's a good point. Can we counterback, like, dude, why

634
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: why can't you? You can you can do whatever you want.

635
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: Is the US to do whatever? Yeah, yeah, just ask

636
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: them all for a hundred grant and just go after it.

637
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: The US, you know what, the way we do things

638
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: some words, we go yeah, yeah, yeah, let's do it,

639
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 1: and then you lose. We would say, you're probably gonna lose,

640
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: but if you want to do it, I'll take the money.

641
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: That's how you do. That's how we do it. You

642
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: would do for you your Puerto Rican brother here, No,

643
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: because you're probably gonna lose. Why why why? I mean

644
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: it's sugar. I don't know. It's talk about this. There's

645
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: other things that you guys can be putting tags on

646
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: white cannabis. Where's the proof? Where's the proof? That's what

647
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean? The proof do we do? Do we sue

648
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: the state? You look at that old lady from Wendy's.

649
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know who you do. I really don't know.

650
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. You wouldn't you see the US Department

651
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services called the US Providence Services

652
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: Task in California TF. It's like, who the exactly That's

653
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: what it sounds like. You know, well listen, I mean

654
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, but I bet you if you put candy

655
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: in cannabis they're gonna make you put all those tags

656
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 1: on it. But if you make candy with you know, sugar,

657
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: the candy now will kill you because it has cannabis

658
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: and the sugar in it. But they never said it

659
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: when it had the sugar in there, that you kill

660
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: you because sugar is one of the most addicting drugs

661
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: in the world. Oh my god. You look around, you

662
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: look around, you look at all the people that shoulda

663
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: that you might be drinking right now. Well they you

664
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: know what it can change because I don't do that

665
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: area of the loss. I really didn't know, but it

666
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: just popped in my head that when they probasically five

667
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: came out, caffeine was on the list that had to

668
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: be disclosed Starbucks. I mean, there was a huge backlash

669
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: and they ended up taking that off the list. Wow, Craig,

670
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: So we do have a lawsuit? We do? We do?

671
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: I think we should take it to the Supreme Court.

672
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I'll tell you what though, Supreme Court,

673
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:24,959
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. No, we're gonna do it right

674
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: here today. We're gonna take a vote. Okay where the

675
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: court where the court comment? No, So the judge and

676
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: the jury are the people out there, and they're gonna

677
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: call and leave a comment. Okay, give him that number, Joe.

678
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: It's really easy to call and leave a comment. The

679
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: phone number is eight hundred. That's eight leave a comment.

680
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: And if you've watched any of the shows recently, you'll

681
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: see how great Craig Washerman looks. Once he got his

687
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: you guys. And you know, as we talk about money

688
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: and suing a company a marijuana mso Justy buys they're

689
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: called justin. Excuse me, excuse me just she not justin

690
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: My eyes are going bad ms oh JUSSI j U

691
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: s h I boys. They buy a facility in Pennsylvania

692
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: for thirty seven million dollars or cannabis. So it's just

693
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: goes to show me how that works. Well, you know what,

694
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: this is what I'm gonna get you to the point, Craig,

695
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: and I hear you, Let's see how it works out.

696
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 1: At the point I want to make the people out

697
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: there is what Blue has been preaching from jump streets.

698
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: Start your fucking business, folks, if you're thinking about doing it.

699
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: This guy that started his business in Pennsylvania, guess what

700
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: he got for thirty seven million dollars. Wait a minute,

701
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. I hate to be the old grumpy

702
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: you know, Come with it. You always work in the details.

703
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: But the devil's in the details. How much is cash

704
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: and how much just stock? Well, it doesn't think the

705
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: funds and the purchase, that's just he secured. So that

706
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: company secured fifteen point to five million in debt financial

707
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: that was led by insiders and existing shareholders. The accusation

708
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: involves a purchase of Pennsylvania Medical Medical Solutions and licensed

709
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: Medical maror wanna grower processor at a Scranton owned But

710
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: you don't, I don't know. I'm trying. I wish I

711
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: would have known that answer, but I don't know. Bottom line,

712
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: it's a nine thousand square foot location cultivation, you know.

713
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: And my point to the story is, and why I

714
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,479
Speaker 1: like to go green with something like this is I've

715
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: heard Blue preach this, teach this. We work with people,

716
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: we encourage people, and as you Craig work with people

717
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: to start businesses, but say it that cost a lot

718
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: of money. And those who do guess what. I don't

719
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: think the business that this person sold cost to them

720
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: thirty seven million dollars to create. I could be wrong, No,

721
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.

722
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: So my point of bold and maybe my point and

723
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: world of the story is maybe a hunter gun you know,

724
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 1: way you never knows square footbild. It's in Pennsylvania. But no,

725
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 1: he he all got them. The guy that actually started

726
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: man not have started zero. He might have stowed money

727
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: like Trump got involved today. I'm not say he's on

728
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: an architect. He's found a grower and he's put the

729
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: pieces to the plub what's wrongs and other people? But man,

730
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,959
Speaker 1: and by the way, I see it right here at Craig,

731
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 1: let me answer your question. Paying sixteen point three million

732
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: dollars in cash, paying three point eight million cellar notes

733
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: and eight percent interest with suring in four years, assume

734
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: a seventeen million dollar facility association of a long term opposition,

735
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: So that can we're looking at right, and you know what,

736
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm very good, Joe, thank you for clearing that up. No, doubt.

737
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: I try to give you the research to trest you boys.

738
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 1: You know what's right, maretty And there it is, guys.
