00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 5: I grew up born and raised New Jersey. I was

80
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 5: born in Pumpton Lakes, Northern New Jersey, left for a

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: little bit to go to college, came back and have

82
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 5: it left since. I've traveled for work, but home base

83
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 5: has always been New Jersey.

84
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: Where'd you go to college?

85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: I went to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

86
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: Nice And what was your hold on? Biology? Major?

87
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: Was that you or what was your major psychology?

88
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 3: Psychology? Okay?

89
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 4: And is the hardest job you ever had? The mother

90
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: of three? Or is it the dispensary or was it psychology?

91
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 5: Well, let me tell you before opening Blue Oak, I

92
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 5: would say being a mother of three age frump everything,

93
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: but working with the state and the municipalities to get

94
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 5: through all of the legalities and the regulations has been

95
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 5: a very long journey. Worthwhile, but definitely up there. It's

96
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 5: my fourth child and.

97
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 4: As you say, your fourth child and basically make it

98
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: sound like the hardest one to deal with with all

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: the regulations you have.

100
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: To go through. Tell us why you had this fourth child.

101
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 4: Where does the love for cannabis come that made you

102
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: open a company with a very cool name, by the way,

103
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 4: Blue Oak, and the name itself where it comes from?

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: So please tell us that story.

105
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 5: Sure, I've always had a connection to help and wellness.

106
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: I was raised by a single mother three children, and

107
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 5: my mother had some health ailments, and so I was

108
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 5: at a very young age. I was introduced to the

109
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 5: pharmaceutical industry via my mother and lots of different medical professionals,

110
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 5: and so I was always even long before the Internet,

111
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: I'm forty seven years old, I was networking and looking

112
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: into resources for how I could help my mother heel

113
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 5: and she has epilepsy, she had lung cancer, rheumatoid arthritis.

114
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: She was in a car accident at crushed her spine,

115
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 5: so she had mobility issues that led to debilitating pain

116
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: and depression. So as a young child, I learned about

117
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: health and the human body and wellness, and there wasn't

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 5: a lot in the eighties and nineties to really look

119
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 5: into because we didn't have the access to the information

120
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 5: we knew about marijuana then. But I was always looking

121
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 5: into even just healthcare practitioners that could assess my mother

122
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 5: with her health and wellness journey. So it started very

123
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 5: early for me, and I did some experimenting myself in

124
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: high school and college. And I'll be honest, it wasn't

125
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: a good experience with cannabis back then because I I don't,

126
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,799
Speaker 5: I wasn't set up for success to really understand and

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: and take in the true benefits of cannabis.

128
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: I don't.

129
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 5: I didn't know what I was smoking, I didn't know

130
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 5: how to smoke. I was with the wrong people. It was,

131
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 5: you know, very undercover because it was this hush hush

132
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 5: illegal thing, and.

133
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: And and that's how that feeling and right, that's a

134
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: tough feeling, terrible feeling.

135
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: It is, you know, it's you as you say, now, let.

136
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: Me say this, it's a terrible feeling that that you

137
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: know that it's legal now or not, you know that

138
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: it's okay saying did it right?

139
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 4: And the feeling that we had to do and had

140
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 4: to deal with people looking at us, treating us, smelling us,

141
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: and judging us and people still.

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: Do Yeah it's legal, Yeah, it's it's it's crazy.

143
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: It's funny because you know, what what you're doing essentially

144
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: is is the same work we're doing.

145
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: And it's awesome.

146
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean, we're we're trying to help normalize it for

147
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: and for for a just cause the United States has

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: made it, you know, medicinal for a reason and and

149
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: I and I could stand with that. So so you know,

150
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: has this been you know, why the why a dispensary?

151
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: Though?

152
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Like why why did you come in and make it

153
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: that you know, you know, for you, for you and

154
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: your family.

155
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 5: I've always had a bit of a non traditional career

156
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: path and this would be no different. I knew that

157
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 5: I wanted my own business I had been entrepreneurial for

158
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 5: other people for a very long time, and I was

159
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 5: keeping a pulse on legalization in New Jersey with the

160
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 5: medical market, with legal you knowing that adult use was

161
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 5: coming up, I thought, how can I get into it?

162
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 5: And really the retail side of it, the dispensary side,

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 5: was the one that fit the best for me because

164
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 5: it was customer facing, community facing, and I could bring

165
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 5: the level of education that was missing being a woman

166
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 5: and a mom that had been going to other dispensaries

167
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: in other states feeling judged, feeling insecure walking into those dispensaries,

168
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: not having a clue what the products were, and not

169
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 5: being able to be allowed to have a conversation with

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 5: bud tenders, let alone others outside of the dispensaries because

171
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: I'm a How does a mom use cannabis like that?

172
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 5: What are you doing? What is wrong with you? You're

173
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 5: not a stoner? That's for those for stoners. All the

174
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 5: things that I heard. So I knew that going into

175
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: the industry, I needed to have a store because I

176
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: could I could plant my footing with getting that level

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 5: of education and awareness first obviously starting with awareness, expanding

178
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: that and bridging into education, and then collaborating within the

179
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 5: communities to really help move the industry forward and elevate it.

180
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: It's amazing that you're doing this out there, Danielle, out

216
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: there in New Jersey. I love hearing the foundation of

217
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: where it came from your story of the entrepreneur in

218
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: you and with the pharmaceutical background, but Blue hit it

219
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 4: on the head and I want to hear what are

220
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 4: you guys teaching over there right now?

221
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: Like I want to. I'm so curious.

222
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,599
Speaker 5: Taking a lead backwards. I knew that we needed to

223
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 5: start from the top with education, and it really started

224
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 5: with what is cannabis right? It's called so many different

225
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 5: things marijuana pot briefer, but that really focuses on the

226
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: THC component of cannabis and nothing really else that makes

227
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 5: up cannabis and what can make it so great for

228
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 5: health and wellness. So really helping the community understand what

229
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: cannabis is and what it's not and what it can do.

230
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: And then when you break that down looking at you know,

231
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 5: you eventually get to the products. Right. A lot of

232
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: people come in and they want to talk at the

233
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 5: product level, but before you can even get there, there's

234
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 5: so much more that needs to be known about it.

235
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 5: So I understanding the components of it. So what are

236
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 5: cannabinoids CBD and the like THHC, How are they different?

237
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 5: Have they worked together? How can you consume or ingest

238
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 5: or inhale cannabis? There's all different forms, and you know

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 5: then dosing and potency and you know, self titration, all

240
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 5: of these these you know, buzzwords, but really just having

241
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 5: a conversation of what is cannabis? Why, why would you

242
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 5: need it? What are some you know, concerns that you

243
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 5: have with health and wellness or maybe you socially you

244
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: just want to you know, enjoy yourself more so, really

245
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: it's it's it's starting from the top and then branching

246
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 5: down getting to the product level talking about brands, but

247
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 5: doing a lot of inroads before you even get there.

248
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: You know, it's good to know, you know, like listen

249
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: if if you're especially in a state that's just coming

250
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: on board, right, if you you've never walked in.

251
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 3: For some of us, it's it seems like it's as easy.

252
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: We know. It feels like our friends had to spend

253
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: through sometimes talk I used to go to home.

254
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 4: It was like, Oh, they had a lot of stuff

255
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 4: at their house. Yeah, having glass and everything. I don't know,

256
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 4: And I'm sure I laughed. I bet you had friends

257
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: like that too, right, Guys like us randomly have friends

258
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 4: that have a lot of warehouses. That's what friends that stupid.

259
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: We actually had this for a long time. So it's like,

260
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 4: but people in New Jersey are like, well, no, but

261
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: but it's new right, So so it's such a new

262
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 4: new space for a lot of people really, and and

263
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: it is important to get down to that grassroots and

264
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: and and break it down to a significant level all

265
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 4: the way to the to the highest.

266
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: Level that you can perform on to educate, because at

267
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: one point right, someone walks in and they don't even

268
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: know what a gram of weed is or cannabis or

269
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: or what what it does.

270
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 3: And you know what a churpene is, what a you know,

271
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: paper is, what is a joy for? Like, I agree,

272
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: the one on one is just so important.

273
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: So so when you start getting into some of those

274
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: details and then understanding you know how much to consume,

275
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: right you start talking about edibles, you know, people people

276
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 2: you know that that in edibles, if they don't know

277
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 2: what they're about to take in, they can hate this

278
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: for the rest of their life and think this is

279
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: a terrible thing.

280
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

281
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, people take them and and you know, you take

282
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: thirty fifty one hundred milligrams and some people take a

283
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: thousand milligrams, so you have to know your dose, you know,

284
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 2: walking into this. So I could agree with you on

285
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: a lot of that. You know, what kind of products

286
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: do you currently have in your store?

287
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 5: We carry all categories, all categories, so flowers king people

288
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 5: are always coming in asking for flour. And we're starting

289
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 5: to get independence on our shelves in New Jersey, which

290
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: is great edibles And within edibles, you have gummies, we

291
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: have chocolates. Now we have concentrates, tinctures, vapes, free rolls.

292
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 5: We have topicals which has been really great and you know,

293
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: helping people stack so people that have localized pain using

294
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 5: a topic goal that doesn't have any psychoactivity but has

295
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 5: the healing benefits of cannabinoids with including THHC and then

296
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: smoking or taking edibles. And we have a very large

297
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 5: community that is into edibles, which is great and it's

298
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 5: a lot of the suburban parents, especially the moms. I'm

299
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: an edible girl, and edibles are wonderful when you know

300
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 5: what they are, know what they can do, know how

301
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 5: to dose them properly. You know, there's a level of

302
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 5: social responsibility there to learn about yourself.

303
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, it really is about learning about yourself. And

304
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: what's the demographic of the age group that you currently have.

305
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: Going through there? I mean, is it younger? Older? I'm curious.

306
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 5: Sure, it's a mix. I mean we get twenty year old,

307
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 5: you know, in their twenties, twenty one and up of

308
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 5: course needs to be, but a lot of thirty to

309
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 5: sixty year olds come through. Because now we're able to

310
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: talk about it right now, it's you know, no different

311
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: than walking into a bar and asking for a Moscow

312
00:15:53,640 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 5: mule or a margarita or glass of Pinutgriggio different. Yeah.

313
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: I alwaysh I could walk into the bar and go, hey,

00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I've never been, but I'm imagining that's how

00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 4: it is in Amsterdam, right, I mean, God, Daniel, you

318
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: were just there in Amsterdam. Wasn't it like that where

319
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 4: you can walk up? Both you hurt your backs together?

320
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: Both you guys are walking with sore backs. Geez, dude,

321
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: I can't see my brother's walking like this.

322
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: You guys, I just socked my pants, Joe. You know

323
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: I'm still stuck in that time?

324
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 5: Both?

325
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: Do you guys have Hey? Can you the only thing

326
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: we saw is your sag? But can you just walk

327
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: up and order a joint aut in Amsterdam and say

328
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: I want that?

329
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

330
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: Right? Okay? Deli style Reley style? Yea out there?

331
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: Are you guys still on Deli style yourself? And do

332
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 2: you know what deli stele is? Where you open jars?

333
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: You just open the jar? And are you still giving

334
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 2: too out of a jar? Or most of your stuff

335
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: in package bags?

336
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: It's all in New Jersey. It's all packaging deli style.

337
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 5: So that's another thing, is even just the regulation. So

338
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: we have a lot of people come in that have

339
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 5: been shopping and dispensaries in Massachusetts or out in California

340
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 5: and Colorado, and the types of products are similar, and

341
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 5: we're starting to get brands that are you know, recognized

342
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: various states. But the regulations, you know, I can't have

343
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 5: blast jars of flower out for people to smell. It's

344
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 5: illegal in New Jersey to have that, but yet in

345
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 5: Massachusetts you can do that. And so even just educating

346
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 5: on the regulation piece of it.

347
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, I'm sorry, No, I was just gonna say.

348
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 5: And just the conversion over too, from medical to adult

349
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 5: use has been confusing to a lot of people, a

350
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 5: lot of consumers.

351
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: It is.

352
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, I'll show you some of

353
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 2: the and the the the solutions they have for that

354
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: here localized and I'm sure maybe you've seen them, like

355
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: the little buttonszy get to push on them, have you, guys,

356
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: and they're kind of locked inside of a jar. To

357
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: have you showed that to you know, anybody, to try

358
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: and get that that switched.

359
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: Over in your county or your town, or your or

360
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: your state, you know, there's.

361
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 5: A lot of conversations I have. I'm very close with

362
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 5: my compliance off are with the State. I communicate with

363
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 5: her on a regular basis. I actually just had a

364
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 5: zoom a few weeks ago with now the former executive

365
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 5: director of the CRC, the Cannabis Regulatory Commission, Jeff Brown,

366
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 5: who just stepped down. So yes, I so education piece

367
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 5: from a cannabis standpoint in the community and within my

368
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 5: dispensary is one piece. Advocacy is another piece, and.

369
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: Then education to the state is another piece. Because you know, I,

370
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: let's be honest, I think when the state, you know,

371
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: gets involved there, they're they're they're generally hiring people that

372
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: are you know, not as you know, well versed, well

373
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: versed in cannabis. So but you know, so they're they're

374
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: they're taking on a role that they're learning, you know

375
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 2: about as well.

376
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 3: Damn near everybody else is to that's doing their fucking job.

377
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, every job, even if you're taking after them,

378
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: you're still.

379
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 3: Learning that job too. How funny is that?

380
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 5: The thing?

381
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: Like, well, here's the best analogy, which is it's an

382
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: airplane being built in area and it's still happening right now.

383
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: Like because I mean, as you say that, I can say.

384
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: Well, not only there is, but they're bringing a job

385
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 3: that they don't really know either, so who really knows.

386
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 4: It's all really still coming together, like you know, like

387
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 4: like peanut butter and jelly. It's like we're trying to

388
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 4: put this together and trying to figure out which, you know,

389
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 4: cannabinoids are gonna work best and which they're gonna work out.

390
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: We're building a plane, we literally are.

391
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: And it's so awesome to see you doing this out

392
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: there because Graul, I mean, I love the fact that

393
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 4: you're doing this as a mother, right, and that's just

394
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 4: a mother of three, because the the look of that alone,

395
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like just imagine three kids

396
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 4: and there's some beautiful lady like this that just looks

397
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 4: like this.

398
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 3: I just love that whole vibe.

Speaker 3: Actually we know. And I am a soccer dad and

Speaker 3: so I get that. You know.

404
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: My point is, you have all this big stuff that

405
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: you're doing, which is awesome. I want to take one

406
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 4: step back real quick before we go to break and

407
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: give me the story of Harvey Weinstein and you what

408
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 4: is this background history story in the pharmaceutical game and

409
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 4: a high profile client.

410
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: By the name of Blue Harvey Weinstein.

411
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I again going back, I had a non

412
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 5: traditional career background. I started out and as a management

413
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 5: consultant at a college. Didn't want a typical desk job.

414
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 5: I wanted diversity in the work and I wanted to

415
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 5: be doing different projects. So did that for a while

416
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 5: in the pharma industry, and then I fell into personal assisting,

417
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 5: literally fell into it. A former manager of mine from

418
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 5: corporate and told me about a staffing agent in New

419
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 5: York City that always had cool jobs for people at

420
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 5: a business background, and I reached out, and I landed

421
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: a spot with an actor and learned about, you know,

422
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 5: how to run some one's life behind the scenes, and

423
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 5: so I eventually, you know, got a position working for

424
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 5: Harvey Weinstein as his personal assistant. He had just launched

425
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 5: the Weinstein Company, and Georgina Chapman had just launched Marquesa

426
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 5: and they were dating, and I was Harvey's personal assistant.

427
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 5: And then I worked for Georgina with Marquesa as her

428
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: personal and her executive assistant, and I was with them

429
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: for a number of years, so.

430
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 4: You were living in the LA Beverly Hills or New York,

431
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: New York.

432
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 5: I was in New York, and I traveled a lot

433
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: to LA for events, but they were both based in

434
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: New York and Harvey obviously was by coastal with his company.

435
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: I could stay there forever with that one, because like,

436
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,560

00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 5: the best jobs I've ever had because I got to

503
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: I asked you a question, how you would deal with

504
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 4: a parent that looks at you and.

505
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 3: Kicked up him? Or has that happened? But I or

506
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 3: has that happened? Yeah? How did you handle it?

507
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 5: Surprisingly? It has not. I can't. I don't ask questions

508
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 5: behind my back. But no, Actually, to the contrary, people

509
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 5: have used me and asked.

510
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: Me, so, so what would you say because you know

511
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: they're saying it behind your back?

512
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 3: Well real quick, so here's your chance to respond to them. Yeah.

513
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Now, you know, it's funny to say that because I

514
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 2: think you know he's saying as like you know, when

515
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: I was coaching, and I know he's actively involved with

516
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: his kids. But you know, like you have parents that

517
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 2: come up and they're like, oh, you know, are you

518
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: going to get the kids high? Or you know, they

519
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: they say, well, they say they say ignorant things, and

520
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: you're just like, look at them, like come on, like

521
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: you know, like are.

522
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: You kidding me right now? You know, you're not gonna

523
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 3: give them all gummies right now?

524
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 2: But but then but then five minutes later though, five

525
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: minutes later, you know, or five days later, they're asking you, hey,

526
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: where can I get some? And I'm like, what are

527
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 2: you talking about? Like you weren't you the same personnel?

528
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 2: I was just kidding with you. I was just checking,

529
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: you know, I was like, okay, you know, but it's interesting.

530
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: It's that that that's still happening in our society, but

531
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: you know, and it's and it's amongst even our our

532
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: peers that are actually smoking as well. They're still hiding

533
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: it that you know, they're not doing it because of

534
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 2: the corporate world and.

535
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: They're judgmental, but humans.

536
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 2: But they're having a too martini lunch or whatever, and

537
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: and it's a bump on the weekends, and it's and

538
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: it's a ritual and it's a ritual, you know. So

539
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 2: it's it's just interesting. I think he was trying to

540
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: get your opinion on that. Uh yeah, So how do

541
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: you address it? If somebody would.

542
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 5: Sure it's it's actually a great conversation starter. I came

543
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 5: into this industry knowing that it was gonna be somewhat polarizing,

544
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 5: and the further away I am from someone else, the

545
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 5: better for me. The more in roads I can make,

546
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 5: the more I can make them wear and then hopefully

547
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 5: educate them. I'm not looking to convert everyone into cannabis users,

548
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 5: but I am here to make sure that the right

549
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 5: information is out there and that cannabis is respected because

550
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 5: it is not the devil's lettuces. Everyone you know that

551
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 5: has you know, negativity associated with it as it's it's

552
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 5: been branded. So parents actually in my circle and in

553
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 5: my home community and in my store community have been

554
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 5: so incredibly supportive. They have been so appreciative that I've

555
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,479
Speaker 5: opened a store like Blue Oak. I do have a

556
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 5: private consule room in there in the store that was

557
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 5: unique to just medical dispensaries for a while. I have

558
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 5: curbside discreete pickup. I'm gonna start home delivery. So really

559
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: it's parents coming up to me and asking me what

560
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 5: you know they are trying about sleep and pain and

561
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 5: what can I do to help them? And and also

562
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: some people come up to me and ask me, how

563
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 5: do I have a conversation with my teenager who I

564
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 5: know is using cannabis. I know that you won't sell it,

565
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: it's twenty one and older, but can you help me

566
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 5: understand what it is because I'm.

567
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: Smell it, because I smell I smell it at home.

568
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: I want to know. You know, it's interesting. I think

569
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 3: that you know.

570
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 2: And this is my advice to parents out there, because

571
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 2: I love the conversation. You know, I think you should

572
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: talk to them about it straight up and just be honest.

573
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 2: And if you've used it, be honest with them, if

574
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 2: you have smelt it on them, be honest with them.

575
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: If you are suspecting them of doing any kind of

576
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: drugs and having sex or anything that they need to

577
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: learn about, be honest with them. You know, it's so

578
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: honest with them that they're willing to tell you, because

579
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: I think they'll be able to read that inside.

580
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: Of and out of you. You know, if you're lying,

581
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: because they know you too, they probably know you.

582
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: I will go further and say, just like it's sucking

583
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 4: eggs and alcohol. I mean, yes, I tried eggs and

584
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 4: I even had him in fucking yeah. Have you even

585
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: had a beer and I've had a shot at the

586
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 4: quila and I spoke to you, yeah whatever, Yeah, yeah,

587
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: this is what we do in life.

588
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 3: It happens. It's it's like not a thing. In my

589
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: opinion that even sex doesn't need to be like that. Yeah. Yes,

590
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: when we want to sit down with the talk normal

591
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: and just have a conversation like this. Yeah.

592
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: I just said that to my son about that nine.

593
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 4: I'm like you we are you ready, We'll talk about

594
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 4: It's a great thing. Everything should be talked about normally.

595
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we think asking about it because that means he

596
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: was it was it was ready, motherfucker.

597
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: I was.

598
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: He said something about something and I said to him,

599
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: when we get there, are like, you know me, we

600
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 4: don't need to like talk about that type of stuff.

601
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: I think it was a song or something he said,

602
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: rays work, you know, he said it was. It was

603
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,200

604
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,720

00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 4: the place, talk me through it, please real quick. Yeah,

741
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 4: because I don't know if you're on a mobile camera,

742
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 4: but I don't think we could see it, but at

743
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 4: least verbally walk me through and give the listeners that

744
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 4: are listening a verbal walk through this place.

745
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 5: Sure, it's not a standalone store, so you walk in.

746
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 5: It's somewhat of a medical arts building. So we have

747
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 5: an eye doctor and an eyeeshop. So you walk in

748
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 5: and there to the left and the right, you walk

749
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 5: down a somewhat of a hallway and you come into

750
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 5: the waiting room a blue oak. That right in front

751
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 5: of you is this preserved moss wall that I designed

752
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 5: with a company named Urban Strong from the Brooklyn Navy Yard,

753
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 5: and it's three different types of actual moss. So it's

754
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 5: real moth preserved from Toronto, Canada, and in the middle

755
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 5: is a big wood logo piece that says Blue Oak Dispensary.

756
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 5: I really wanted to bring those earth natural elements in

757
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 5: to help define the waiting room area. And so there's

758
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 5: a bench in a kiosk and table where my staff

759
00:36:56,280 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: sit to check people in very inviting space, very calming.

760
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 5: You walk into our sales area through a doorway and

761
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 5: it's uh kind of uh elevated element elements of nature.

762
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,760
Speaker 5: So we've got quarts and we've got lots of natural

763
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 5: wood and you know, gray neutral palettes with some black

764
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 5: or hardware straw lighting, and there's really it's about there.

765
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 5: You don't have. I don't have kiosks that people walk

766
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 5: up and use like in many dispensaries. I want my

767
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 5: staff to be communicating with every customer that comes in.

768
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 5: If there's customers, you know, being spoken with, then there

769
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 5: isn't a spot at the sales counter. There is a

770
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 5: kiosk where somebody can browse the menu, but they're not

771
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 5: going to shop from a kiosk in in Blue Oak.

772
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 5: They're going to actually have candid conversations about what it

773
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 5: is that they're looking for and it's with an actual

774
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 5: human being that knows about products and knows about cannabis.

775
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 5: And then if you place not or online, they're just

776
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 5: based down at the end of the counter where you

777
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 5: can pick up and go. You can hang out for

778
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 5: as little or as long as you want. No one's

779
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 5: brushing you out. You can make an appointment for a

780
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 5: private consult We have a really beautiful, comfortable UH consultation

781
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 5: room where you can have you know, upwards of a

782
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 5: half an hour if you want one on one conversation

783
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 5: that's more discreet. And that's about it.

784
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 3: That's that's our store.

785
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 5: We we have UH. We have niches in the walls

786
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 5: of all our brands and then within those we have

787
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 5: QR codes for every brand, so if you want to

788
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 5: learn about the brand, you can scan a QR code.

789
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 5: We have marketing, collateral and education material all throughout the

790
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 5: counters that you can take away. We have these amazing

791
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 5: posters that I got from gold Leaf that are all

792
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 5: about cannabis, education and how cannabis works in your body

793
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 5: that are on the walls that you know, are great

794
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 5: to look at and learn from while you're standing around.

795
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 5: We do a lot of pop ups with brands. We've

796
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 5: got a big social media presence. Our website is one

797
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 5: that has an education section. We have a lot of

798
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 5: very thoughtful blogs that isn't just about reading texts full

799
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 5: of information. It's a way to really kind of break

800
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 5: down different topics of cannabis in the privacy of your

801
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 5: own home. So we've really tried to give a full

802
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 5: experience to customers with information that they need right then

803
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 5: and there to buy a product, to information that they

804
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 5: can use and think about at home to decide how

805
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 5: they want to use cannabis again. And I will say

806
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 5: another thing that we do I think do really well

807
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 5: is we talk about when you do leave Blue Oak,

808
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 5: what do you do with the products aside from use them,

809
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 5: how do you store them and store them responsibly. We

810
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 5: sell lock boxes, you know, I talk about being a

811
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 5: parent and having children in your home and other people's

812
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: children in your home or even pets, and just make sure,

813
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 5: just like alcohol, you're going to lock it up because

814
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 5: it is a medicine. We also sell journals to make

815
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 5: sure that you know if you're new to say edibles,

816
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 5: and I have had people come in told me that

817
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,959
Speaker 5: they are afraid of edibles because of what they've heard

818
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 5: with overconsumption. And I talk about, you know, being in

819
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 5: control of your own journey, right, Every cannabis journey is unique.

820
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 5: Every product is going to hit you differently, different dosing

821
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,240
Speaker 5: than it is going to hit your or your husband

822
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 5: or wife. Journal write it down so you don't forget

823
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 5: about it, and then come in and talk to us

824
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: about it. So those are the things that you'll also

825
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 5: find in addition to the cannabis products of Blue Olk.

826
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: I love it, I really do. I think it's it's

827
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: awesome that you guys are out there listen. Is there

828
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: anything else that we want? You know, you want to

829
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: tell us before we let you get on out of here.

830
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 5: Just to have these conversations about cannabis. It's a great

831
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 5: starting point. Obviously we know about the stigma, we know

832
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 5: about the misconceptions, but it starts with a compation. And

833
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 5: don't be afraid to have those conversations because it really

834
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 5: is just about closing that gap. And I and and

835
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 5: and for those consumers out there that want to learn more,

836
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 5: there are dispensers that are doing it well with education.

837
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 5: I'm sure in every state, walk in, have a conversation.

838
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 5: If you don't feel comfortable. If you're not confident in

839
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 5: the information you're getting, you can leave and you can

840
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: find another dispensary. But don't look at cannabis as not

841
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,840
Speaker 5: being the right product possibly for your health and wellness journey,

842
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 5: because you are not finding the information you need. It

843
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 5: is out there and in the meantime, go to BLUEOAKNJ
