And that's fun, you know, but 428 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 1: but I think different. But when you get like, you know, 429 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: down to let's say a um, you know veteran. You 430 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: know a lot of these veterans are using the product 431 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: because they need it. You know, this is not and 432 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: and and there's a great amount of them they probably 433 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 1: use it just to be because recreational or adult uth 434 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 1: go ahead and go ahead, and there's not there's nothing 435 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: wrong with it because and if there is, and then 436 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: there's something wrong with all of us going home and 437 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: having a drink too, right, you know. And that's where 438 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, if you start to think, you 439 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: know for a second that all of us, you know, 440 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: we're not you know, you're human and that you're perfect. 441 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Well that's different to but but going into it is 442 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: is that we were kind of in this. You know, 443 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: we went to canadamad we got to see this, um, 444 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: you know, this event and it was just like everybody 445 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: there was about the science and about the health benefits 446 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: and they have nothing to do with you know, any 447 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: kind of like hands. And I feel that way about 448 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: a lot of veterans. So I think this is super important. 449 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: And it sounds like Todd hopefully is doing the same 450 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: thing over there in good old Kansas. It's just true, Todd. 451 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: Could we say that you're putting together an event like that? Yeah, 452 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, I think we're at a really unique moment 453 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: in time, and I'm actually in a unique geographic position, 454 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: you know, living in Kansas City, Missouri. Um, you know, 455 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 1: I get to see the world as a US Army veteran, 456 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: a West Point graduate, former diplomat, and medical cannabis patient. However, 457 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: when I crossed the street from Kansas City, Missouri into 458 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City, Kansas, I'm immediately a criminal. And uh, you know, 459 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: I like to point that out as this major dichotomy 460 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: and a representation of what canvas prohibition looks like for 461 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: a veteran in in in the Midwest, but also point 462 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: out the opportunity that is here and trying to draw 463 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: the attention of the Department of Defense as well as 464 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: the Veterans Administration as to the opportunity to conduct observational research. 465 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: As you know, thousands of veterans are beginning to transition 466 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: from pharmaceutical medications or more tradition types of therapies into 467 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: medical cannabis and really capture the feedback and and follow 468 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: this story and be a part of a conversation, which 469 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: is a major thing that I'm trying to do. Uh 470 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: in the Kansas City area. Uh. You know, I I 471 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: retired in twenty eighteen, and I chose in sixteen to 472 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: to move to Kansas City, UM from my previous duty 473 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: stations in Europe. And I did it because Missouri was 474 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: moving towards medical cannabis regulation. Uh. They were trying to 475 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: get on the ballot in twenty sixteen and they failed 476 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: by about twenty six signatures, and uh, inen we finally 477 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: got it over the line. I was able to be 478 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: an activist in the community, and I'm very proud of 479 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: that and continue activism. Um. And we got it over 480 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: the line. In Missouri, we have a really exceptional medical 481 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: cannabis program with a huge list of qualifying conditions, super 482 00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: low tax rate, access all over the state. And uh, 483 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to draw the attention of the 484 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: Department of Defense to this place as a potential platform 485 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: upon which to conduct some observational research and again, you know, 486 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: be a part of hosting a continuous conversation about medical 487 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: cannabis and veterans and eventually active duty military. UM.

We have four branches of 517 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: our military. Correct, you guys are representing two of them. 518 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 1: It's fair to say you represent half of the military. Correct, 519 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: have two on a higher level? Correct? Now that being said, 520 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: do the other branches meaning Air, Force and Navy agree 521 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: from a high ranking standpoint as you guys and Brian, 522 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,479 Speaker 1: are you gonna bring high ranking Navy and Marines cats 523 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: to this program and that are speaking and preaching the 524 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,399 Speaker 1: same thing you guys are? You know? Absolutely, I have 525 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,640 Speaker 1: some kernels and a couple of generals that we will 526 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: be bringing on who are part of our nonprofit. But 527 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 1: I think, Todd, why don't you highlight the work that 528 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: we're all doing together at Veterans Action Council where we 529 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 1: all just kind of came together to check how each 530 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 1: other was doing in COVID and then grew into something 531 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: pretty massive awesome. Yeah. Absolutely, And of course I'll give 532 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 1: you a little bit of very vernacular guys that you 533 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: will run with. When two or more services are working together, 534 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: that's called a joint operation. So I think we really 535 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: give new meaning to that joint up, joint operation operation. Perfect. 536 00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: Go there, Todd, no play on words, but to explain 537 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: that actually over across the river from where I am, 538 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: just just fifteen minutes from from where I live, on 539 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 1: the other side of the Missouri River, is Fort Leavenworth, 540 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 1: which is really the center of army thought leadership. And 541 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 1: in the basement of that building of the Command of 542 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: General Staff College, UM is a is a place called 543 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 1: the Joint Pub. And you know, at one point, you know, 544 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: I hope the host you guys there for a reception 545 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: at the Joint Pub and uh and discussed the military 546 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 1: and cannabis, um, you know together. It is honestly, it 547 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: is the veteran voice that is going to break the 548 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: back of prohibition. Right, we all know kind of the 549 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: the re legalization of cannabis started almost immediately with the 550 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: prohibition of cannabis, or at least the naming of the 551 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,440 Speaker 1: War on drugs, right in nineteen seventy, when the War 552 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: on Drugs was proclaimed and normal was formed and activists 553 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: started to lift their voices and say this bullshit. Um, 554 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, this is this is when you know, we 555 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: really started the conversation. So since nineteen seventy, the re 556 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: legalization of cannabis has has had you know, deep imprint 557 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: from the veteran community. And you know, it started really 558 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: in nine in my home state of California as well, 559 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: when we legalized for for medical use, when veterans like 560 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 1: Jack Harror and UH and Dennis p Rohn and and 561 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: folks like that all banded together and got medical cannabis legalized. 562 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: And then, I would say historically in the two thousands, 563 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: when Charlotte Fighi and the concept of CBD came online 564 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: and people saw the doctors on CNN Sanjay Gupta saying 565 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: that you know, he was wrong about cannabis and it 566 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: does have medical benefit, it really started to change much 567 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: more rapidly. And now I believe that it's time for 568 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: the veteran voice to not just deliver kind of like 569 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: the killing blow to prohibition. What I like to point 570 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: out is that we have an opportunity to to to 571 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: really showcase in an opportunity for um, for the Department 572 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: of Defense, for the Veterans Administration, and for our society 573 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: because veterans are one element that permeate all across society. Uh. 574 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: But we have a moment where we can begin medical 575 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: cannabis research with purpose in mind, and that would be 576 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: to save the lives of thousands and thousands of veterans 577 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: across the country also positively in fact their families. Because 578 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: we all know very well Brian knows is very well 579 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: when a when a soldier or a marine is addicted 580 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: or suffering from something. Uh, it is the family as 581 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 1: a whole that really suffers the most. So we're certainly 582 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: very purpose driven about it. Um. As Brian was saying, 583 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, UM, I work with the Veterans Action Council. 584 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: We get on the phone at least once a week. 585 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: They're about three meetings a week that we have where 586 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: it's just veterans who are really in the in the 587 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,800 Speaker 1: activist community, as well as in the business community, the 588 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: research community. Basically, it's for any veteran they can they 589 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: can join and listen in and participate whenever they want. Um. 590 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: But this is a team of people who are getting 591 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: it done, and they've been getting it done since the 592 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: earliest days. Uh. It's it's started. It was started by 593 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: Etienne Fontaine, who is is the founder of the Berkeley 594 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: Patients Group and still you know, runs Berkeley Patients Group. 595 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: He's an Army veteran as well as a guy named 596 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: Michael Crowitz who hopefully have had on the show or 597 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: we will have on the show in the future, that 598 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: has been a an activist as Air Force veteran, and 599 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: he's gone so far as to write the language for 600 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: the u N World health or organizations. That was then 601 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: presented to the United Nations, which removed cannabis from the 602 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: schedule for at the u N level, which is their 603 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: list of most dangerous drugs. So it's removed from that, 604 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: opening up a world of research opportunities on a global scale. 605 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: And I'll leave with that because I think we should 606 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: go internationally. You know. You know, first of all, thank 607 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: you Todd again just for sharing that all with us. 608 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 1: It's so it's so important.

And 659 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: so when you bring these cats on here like this 660 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: meant it really means the world to us because Todd, 661 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: everything that you're doing out there in Kansas City is 662 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 1: so important to the world for not only veterans, but 663 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 1: even non veterans. I have my in laws that live 664 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: out there in Wichita area, you know area. So I'm 665 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: out in the Kansas area, and as you said, you 666 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: can cross that state line and it's illegal. I mean, 667 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: you know, I mean you're you're gonna go, well, no, 668 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: it's not. And you gotta think of some of these 669 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: veterans who don't have access in the states that they're in. 670 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna have another guests here eventually who just did 671 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 1: some great breakthrough in Louisiana. But back to Blues point, 672 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 1: which is like really hits me to home. To me 673 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: is you know, we're a nation built on compromise, and 674 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: we got veteran groups kind of butting heads with each 675 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 1: other because they don't have a hundred percent agreement. You know, 676 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 1: we gotta look back and think about what we have 677 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: done for our country and what as veterans we can 678 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: do for our countries. Because people in Congress I can 679 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: walk up to and say, hey, you sent me to war, 680 00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: now it's your turn to fix me. They don't have 681 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: much they can fight back on that one. And that's 682 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: why it's great having people like Line and everyone on 683 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: our show. And you know, Todd, I wanted, I know 684 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:04,879 Speaker 1: you got a big event come up in November called 685 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: Hemp for Victories. Is another great opportunity for a bunch 686 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 1: of veterans to come together. I think it would be 687 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 1: great if you kind of tell the story of where 688 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 1: the Hemp for Victory came from and then what you 689 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: guys are hoping to accomplish at your conference. Yeah. Absolutely, 690 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: U so Him for Victory. If you know a bit 691 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: about the history of of cannabis prohibition in the United States, 692 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: In nineteen thirty seven, we prohibited cannabis, and in nineteen 693 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,360 Speaker 1: forty two, after the Second World War, be can and 694 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: we lost control of the Philippines, right, and you'll remember 695 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: another West Point grad leaving the Philippines in nineteen forty 696 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 1: two saying I shall return. Um, we lost access to him. Yes, 697 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 1: so yeah, exactly, exactly, Yeah, Mike McArthur back there. Um. Yeah. 698 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: So they created this program called Hemp for Victory, which 699 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: which basically taught farmers to grow cannabis again, to grow 700 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: hemp again for military purposes, because we needed it for 701 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: ropes for our for our ships, for clothing for webbing 702 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: and tents and things of that nature. So it was 703 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: the first time really that we uh, you know, re 704 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,719 Speaker 1: legalized cannabis for military purposes. And now I think we're 705 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: in a moment of real need. When we've got you know, 706 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: a significant suicide rate, we've got addiction rate and overdose 707 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: rates within the military and within the veteran community. We're 708 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 1: in a moment of real need, and I think it's 709 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: time that we re legalized cannabis again for for a 710 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,839 Speaker 1: very similar purpose, you know, to save the lives of veterans. 711 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: So we created this um foundation called the Himp for 712 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 1: Victory Foundation, which just became a five O one C three. 713 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: The first event that we had was in November, November 714 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 1: six of of of last year, after the Army Air 715 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,200 Speaker 1: Force Game in Dallas, Texas Army to beat the Air 716 00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: Force Academy. If you're if you're wondering, but let him know, Todd, 717 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 1: thank you, so and so and I get it. The game. 718 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: We hosted a party with about two d and fifty 719 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: veterans active duty military personnel. General officers, flag officers, senior 720 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: and ceohs came for this event to talk about cannabis 721 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: and we held it in Troy Aikman's bar. No way 722 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: in this building. Awesome, that's like a that's a right. 723 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: He's an icon. And what it did is it kind of, 724 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: you know, fired up the veteran community within Texas to 725 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,160 Speaker 1: try to push for further medical cannabis legalization and and 726 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: in Texas. He's a a big cowboy quarterback to Yeah, 727 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: I'll give him credit for what he's doing. But I'm 728 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: an Eagles fans. I'm no my boy, but I like 729 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: to work he's doing now, so I'm good with it. 730 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: He's trying to out about the veterans. That's all that matter. 731 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: That's all that now. Was this at West Point too 732 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: when they did all this? No? No, no, this was 733 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: this was in Dallas. Oh, the game was at Dallas 734 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: at the Jerry's work. Jerry's World is dope. I've actually 735 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: been to Jerry's World one time for a Cowboys Raider 736 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,239 Speaker 1: game on Thanksgiving, and for me, it was one of 737 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: those magical moments. And I think they should always have 738 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,279 Speaker 1: the games like that where the Navy Versity Army at 739 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 1: a big venue you ready for us that I think 740 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: they should tour around the country meaning Stanford, meaning the 741 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 1: Colosseum here in California, meaning Oregon at the Ducks, you 742 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Pac Tanson. Then go to the 743 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 1: big schools all across the country, because I think it's 744 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,400 Speaker 1: one of those things, the two big rivals, you know, 745 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: Navy and Air Force. Let's go. Yeah, well, do mix 746 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: it up a little bit. I know they Philadelphia, it's 747 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 1: like the neutral area where they usually play it. And 748 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,520 Speaker 1: then sometimes they'll play at the Giant State of New 749 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 1: York near West Point, and they'll play down in Baltimore 750 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: or Annapolis where enabled in Washington. I get it. I 751 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,280 Speaker 1: feel like everything's out there on the East Coast because 752 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: of all the military and the government is where it's at. 753 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: I really wish that they would do that around the 754 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: country though. But you want to hear a crazy story 755 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: about Hemp for Victory and Todd correct me if I'm wrong. 756 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 1: So Jack harrera knew of this thing called Hemp for 757 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: Victory video we put out in World War Two. On 758 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: Todd's point today, Hey, we need to grow hemp and 759 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: all that stuff. After World War Two ended, it was 760 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 1: like poop poop, poop food moose gone never existed. So 761 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,840 Speaker 1: he actually went Jack Harreyor to the Library of Congress, 762 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: and I heard his son Dan Rayer tell his story 763 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 1: looking all over for it. They're like, it's not here, 764 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: it's not here. He's like, well, what's behind that door. 765 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: They're like, oh, that's where old fire things went. We 766 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: put it back there. He literally found a video of 767 00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: HEMP for Victory where it's like promoting it and doing everything. 768 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: So the government literally needed for a time a war. 769 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: They're like, never happened, Let's not talk about it. How 770 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: in the closets? Yes, Like the last door Jack Herrera 771 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,200 Speaker 1: looked in, Bang, there it was. There's some legends in 772 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 1: the game that you really have no idea. Who are 773 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: doing what? Todd, I'm so curious, as you know, how 774 00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: did you even find cannabis being in the military like that, 775 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 1: being such a high ranked army guy. Were you in 776 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: the army just like cutting in the left and going 777 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: to get high, really and then telling all your you know, 778 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,000 Speaker 1: army guys, hey, don't smoke weed. I'm just doing it, 779 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,799 Speaker 1: And how did you get involved? Yeah, it's I think 780 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting story. It's a little bit unique. 781 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 1: So I was an armor off officer first when I 782 00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 1: graduated West point. I was a tank manager, you know, 783 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: at a tank platoon, and then a scout platoon, and 784 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: then I commanded a cavalry troop UM in Germany, right uh. 785 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,240 Speaker 1: And after that, though, I became what's called a foreign 786 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 1: area officer, which is an officer that the army trains 787 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:46,839 Speaker 1: to focus on particular regions. We learned language, we learn 788 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: uh you know, we do a master's degree in international 789 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 1: security affairs focused on that region, and then we do 790 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: time in the country, um, and we provide strategic advice 791 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 1: to our general officers, to are diplomats, the ambassadors and 792 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: things of that nature. I was the Army attache in Bosnia. 793 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: I had been the defense attashe in Slovenia, and at 794 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: one point I was the liaison officer to the French Army. 795 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,240 Speaker 1: So I lived in Paris for two years. From there, 796 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,799 Speaker 1: I was deployed to Afghanistan to work for a marine. Right. 797 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: So this for you, Brian, for a marine. My whole journey, 798 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 1: the whole thing was kicked off by one question from 799 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: a four star marine, a guy named General John Allen, 800 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 1: who is now the head of the Brookings Institution. I 801 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: was serving as a special advisor to him. On on 802 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:43,760 Speaker 1: his staff, helping him prepare for meetings with any foreign 803 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 1: dignitary UM, president's, prime minister's chiefs of defense and really 804 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: got to watch as this incredibly smart man executed global 805 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: geopolitical strategy. UM. He said, I want you guys to 806 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 1: figure out a way to create an industry for Afghanistan 807 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: using the resources that they have. And so and then 808 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 1: often like they got three things. You know, They've got 809 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: opium and we really had no use for that. They 810 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 1: had really rare minerals, and China bought all the rights 811 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 1: to them. And then they had tons and tons of 812 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: innabis that had increased tenfolds since our arrival in two 813 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,359 Speaker 1: thousand and one. UM, and so I said, well, why 814 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,319 Speaker 1: don't you transition them over to a hemp industry right 815 00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: with food fuel, fiber to smart smart medicine almost too 816 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,600 Speaker 1: smart thing better than rice that they try to push on, like, hey, 817 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: go grow some rice. You know how hard that is. 818 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I'm not gonna work. Um. Yeah, and so, 819 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,680 Speaker 1: knowing that they already know how to grow this plant, 820 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,959 Speaker 1: and the fact that you know the plant would also 821 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,040 Speaker 1: cross pollen. They with high th HC cannabis and and 822 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, that would garner less profit and a prohibition 823 00:42:56,680 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 1: market was an extra bonus. But you know, they I 824 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: thought it was genius. They thought I was chech and 825 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: Chong I was. I was just hooked on the subject 826 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 1: because I saw the impact of prohibition after a while 827 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 1: impacting four main things, right, um, and the re legalization 828 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: really being able to impact these four three things or 829 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,080 Speaker 1: four things, uh, meaning social justice and fairness overall. You 830 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: know the fact that we human beings in a cage 831 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,880 Speaker 1: for a plant that is so therapeutically active, and it's like, 832 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, saving saving people's lives across the board is 833 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. There are economic impacts along. Uh. There are 834 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: economic impacts that are created both on an individual level 835 00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,680 Speaker 1: for business owners all the way to a national level. 836 00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: If you look at Canada or you know, or or US, 837 00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, there's a multibillion dollar industry. Uh, sustainability impacts 838 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,320 Speaker 1: that are taking place, and so much to be learned 839 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 1: there as we try to grow as plant really efficiently 840 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: and really effectively, and then finally major impacts on health 841 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 1: and wellness. And so when I kind of renze started 842 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 1: recognizing that and that the United States was changing very 843 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 1: very rapidly in Europe, where I was living, had started 844 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,840 Speaker 1: to change rapidly. I was I was just hooked. I 845 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,320 Speaker 1: knew that there was a major paradigm shift taking place 846 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 1: and that I wanted to be a part of the conversation. 847 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: And because I was listening to veterans who were saying 848 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,799 Speaker 1: that cannabis was saving their lives. Yet whenever I brought 849 00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 1: it up in polite conversation while in uniform, I got 850 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 1: some sort of a pop pun or a giggle or 851 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: something like that. So now you know, my mission is 852 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 1: really to set the stage, to set conditions for a 853 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:50,759 Speaker 1: conversation of cannabis and veterans and how the v A 854 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: and the d D could lead that research and lead 855 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 1: us into the future the way the military has done 856 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, Todd, I'm kind of 857 00:44:57,840 --> 00:44:59,880 Speaker 1: blown away by what you just said, because we were 858 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: probably in Afghanistan around the same time, like a two 859 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: thousand twelve. I know, General Allen had the command of 860 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: the battle space then, and I remember two things. They 861 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 1: kept saying, Hey, we want all these people to go 862 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:11,120 Speaker 1: out and grow rice, and we're like, do you know, 863 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:18,960 Speaker 1: how do you really serious about coming back and sarcastic. 864 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 1: How about when he drusts so general this I'm like 865 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 1: hearing what they're in Afghanistan, like the big I've just 866 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: seen this big picture of like oh my god, my god. 867 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: So we're trying to say, like the go teach him 868 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,000 Speaker 1: how like grow rice for like that is so hard. 869 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: Literally it's called weed like in its third out. It's 870 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 1: gonna grow and then I'll never forget. So I had 871 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 1: I was in charge of the seventh Afghan Special Operations 872 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,279 Speaker 1: Battalion and they had this one officer come in, a 873 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 1: US Army officer, and he's like, I need a drug 874 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: test all your Afghans. And I'm like, okay, they all 875 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,799 Speaker 1: piste hot. And he's like, my god, what do we do? 876 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, what do you want to do. 877 00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: He's like, I think we need to shut down this program. 878 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, I'm gonna give you a number 879 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: two the Secretary of Defense in the president United Station 880 00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: to tell him we're shutting down the special Operations program 881 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: in Afghanistan. And he literally looked at me, went okay, 882 00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: and I'm like, Lieutenant, let's think about that. We're not 883 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: gonna do that. Ain't gonna happen. I'm like, it's part 884 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: of their culture. I just don't want them high on 885 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 1: duty if they're gonna do whatever whatever, you know. But 886 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: it's like, let's let's be realistic. So what Todd was 887 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: bringing to the table was a very realistic, common sense 888 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 1: idea that could have been profound for the economic stability 889 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 1: of that nation. And everyone called him Tommy Chong. Nice, 890 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: isn't that though? Now it's Tommy Chong? And now it's 891 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: a joke, like you said, west Point grad, who's not like, 892 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, west Point's not you know, even so it's 893 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 1: high Yeah, exactly, you don't just get But it's like 894 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: Yale's point to just make a joke of that. It's 895 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: it's just kind of it's it's not it's not. It's hypocrisy. 896 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 1: It is what it is. And it's ridiculous on top 897 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,239 Speaker 1: of propaganda ishue like you're doing all these things and 898 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: make it seem like what it's not because he's a 899 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 1: West Point grad in an army suit, he can't talk 900 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 1: about cannabis and it's sucking smirky. Well, one thing is this, 901 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,600 Speaker 1: we we got to remember this. Cannabis for over three 902 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: thousand years has been a medicine up until the last 903 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: seventy okay, and so we have to you know, sometimes 904 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,800 Speaker 1: think about people that are in their seventies and eighties, sixties, 905 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,720 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties and even you know, fifties. Quite frankly, 906 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: they've been trained because the last seventy years cannabis has 907 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: been illegal and demnified as you know, some kind of 908 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,399 Speaker 1: a drug and Medijuan ohs and and this and that 909 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: and three thousand years this has been a medicine. But 910 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,760 Speaker 1: in the last seventy years it started to really change 911 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,560 Speaker 1: because of the Cotton well, the Hirsh family and all 912 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: the stories that we've heard. So so again it's that 913 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,759 Speaker 1: language for seventy years that have made the crack, the 914 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,839 Speaker 1: jokes and and and and quite frankly, I've got it 915 00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: for many years, you know, from your family, neighborhood, me, 916 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:51,399 Speaker 1: even my own mother until she started realizing, until she's seen, 917 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,439 Speaker 1: you know, children that were sick, until she's her own brother. 918 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,839 Speaker 1: I'm sitting there with my with my mom going well, 919 00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: you know he has PTSD, right, he was in Vietnam, 920 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 1: And she goes, I never thought of that. I'm like, well, 921 00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: why do you think he locks his doors. Why do 922 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 1: you think he you know, he damned her because that's 923 00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: why he does. He doesn't even smoke. Well maybe that 924 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: will help different result, but here, but my uncle, so 925 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, he's so caught into like I've got to 926 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,880 Speaker 1: nail the door shut and or no this stuff. And 927 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 1: when I go to sleep, we've got a double lot. 928 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: And it's it's like, Mom, he has PTSD and she 929 00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,920 Speaker 1: she's over here talking about it like and I'm like, 930 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,640 Speaker 1: you don't get it, like and the onayson I get 931 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: is because we're in the cannabis industry and we're trying 932 00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:32,759 Speaker 1: to put the good word talk to Yeah, these men 933 00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: that have that have fought for our country and when 934 00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 1: women for that matter, and and you know, it's it's 935 00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: so important, you know. And and I think again the 936 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: key component is that it's been seventy years that this 937 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 1: plant has been you know, damn day uh a problem 938 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,440 Speaker 1: and three three three thousand years has it's been a 939 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: medicine prior to that, and it's just now coming back 940 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,919 Speaker 1: and and thank god it is so Yeah, and Todd 941 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 1: us we let you go here.
