Colorado creates new jobs and equity in 47 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: the cannabis industry with a new office. What does that mean? Well, 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: Colorado was launching a new Cannabis Business Office, which aims 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: you create economic opportunities and local jobs in the state's 50 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: cannabis industry. Which is kind of normal and we figure that, 51 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: but more and more is great, right, especially around the 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: cannabis industry. The office was established through the Senate Bill 53 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: twenty one DASH one eleven under the Colorado Office of 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: Economic Development and International Trade. It will grant loans to 55 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: social equity licenses dispensary owners who qualit A five for 56 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: a state program that aims to increase diversity in the 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: cannabis industry. It will also award grant money to those 58 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: owners to support job creation and innovation. Now, people eligible 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: for social Equity licenses include Colorado residents who haven't owned 60 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: a marijuana business and those who have either lived in 61 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the state recognized opportunity zone quote unquote opportunity zone for 62 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: at least fifteen years. The pool also extends to people 63 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: who live in a household making less than half of 64 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: the state medium income, are members of families that have 65 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: faced judicial repercussions for cannabis offensive. Denver is trying to 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: make up for six years of inequality of the cannabis marketplace, 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: which is a good throwback. I like on people what 68 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: people are doing in many parts of life, to be 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: quite honest with you, about making up let alone this country, 70 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: of looking at other things that they've done wrong and 71 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: bringing them up and addressing them. It's just address some folks. 72 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: I have no problem with talking about these things, and 73 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why people do either, like Jet Denver 74 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: making up for six years of inequality. Initial funding comes 75 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: from a four million dollar transfer from the marijuana Tax 76 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: cash Fund. Now, though some of all tax revenue collected 77 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: from the cannabis sales featured, Legislative sessions may choose to 78 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: appropriate more money from the cash fund towards the office. 79 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: The new office will be headed by Tristan Watkins, who 80 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: formerly worked as a chief science officer of Boulder based 81 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: dispensary liquid mode, which I like that too. They got 82 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: somebody from the cannabis industry that was working there that's 83 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: kind of good, not just an outside of his good 84 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: with money, numbers and this and that. Although I don't 85 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: mind someone that's good with numbers, but somebody that's good 86 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: with numbers in the cannabis space, now that's a double win, right, Like, 87 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: there's people that are good with numbers in the cannabis space, 88 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: let's try to get this for them too. The Cannabis 89 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: Business Offers will provide novel and ambitious programs and provide 90 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: more equality opportunities in the cannabis industry, said Walkins. As 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: the office expands, we are confident it will further solidified 92 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: Colorado as the leader in the nation's cannabis industry. Since 93 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: legalization and recreational use of cannabis in two thousand twelve, 94 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: the state has taken steps to foster equality in the industry, 95 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: but for black and Latino populations, who have been disproportionately 96 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: impacted by cannabis laws before legalization, progress is obviously slow. 97 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: I say obviously, I made that word up because that's 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: just how it feels in my book. Uh, A new 99 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: State report found that black and Latino populations are still 100 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 1: arrested at a higher rate than white piers. The arrest 101 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: rate for black people remain more than double that of whites. 102 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: So if you act like and you're listening, going this 103 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: social equity is it? Come on, come on, you guys. 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: It's really like a two dollar bill. You don't see 105 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: it often. And if you don't see it off when 106 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: you're just blind to the fact because they're out there, 107 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: sometimes it doesn't affect people. And so you know, it's 108 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: like out of mind, out of site. You know, you 109 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: don't you don't see it happening. You don't really believe 110 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,479 Speaker 1: it's happening. You think it's poor me syndrome. And then 111 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 1: you you don't unless you've done the due diligence, like 112 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: you just read into you know, and then you start 113 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: looking at state by state by state, country by country 114 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: that this is a freaking you know, pandemic, you know 115 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: what I mean of happening, and it's been happening. It's 116 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: very hard to to associate with it or understand with it. 117 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: It's like saying, why don't I need to get COVID uh, 118 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: you know, a test or or a vaccination. If I've 119 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: never had it, I'm you know, I'm I'm good, you know, 120 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: I get it. So it's a very difficult thing to 121 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: to overlook when you're a minority one, and to know 122 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: when when you're not the minority. It's even more so 123 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: when you're the wife folk going is it true? Is 124 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: it real? Because you don't see everything, you're just easier 125 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: to overlook. That's what I'm say. And I actually heard 126 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: from a lot of white folks even more recently, going, 127 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: but but look at us, but we this, and we that, 128 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: and I did that, and I did yeah, And I'm sorry. 129 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: But when you look at the majority, and you look 130 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: at these numbers, and you look at what's going on 131 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: in society, I'm sorry that that happened to you. You 132 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: were one of a few that got screwed in that scenario. 133 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: But overall, in the big blanket of white folk, Black folk, 134 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: Latin folk, Asian folks, the minorities, not the whites, are 135 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: getting got more. Period, Craig, What don't you expay with that? 136 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: Even with your experience in your office of people coming in, 137 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: it's will happen, minorities coming in way more ill happening. 138 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: It still happens, right, I mean, I'm not far off 139 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: this statements this No, it's still mean it's it's it 140 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: could be up to four or five times more likely 141 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: that a minority is going to get a case for 142 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: cannabis or any other crime for that matter, over a 143 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: white person. Let's ask you. I mean from from an 144 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: attorney's point of view, right, that is that is having 145 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: um that has had cases. I mean, do are the 146 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: majority of your cases minorities or are they? Are they Caucasians? 147 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: What are they about the years over the years of cannabis. 148 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: Probably you're you're probably looking at a majority our minorities. Absolutely, 149 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the the facts are there. There's there should 150 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: be no debate because there's been study after study, and 151 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: not even studies, just the numbers where they compilate from 152 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: all the arrest it's just the numbers alone are out 153 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: there that same minorities are getting hit harder kind of 154 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: cannabis crimes. It's always been that way and that I 155 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: mean and they say that that's going back to Anslinger 156 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: back in the thirties when it was set up to 157 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: specifically target minorities. Well, I'll tell you one of the 158 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: one of of things that that is, you know, blatantly 159 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: in my face. And you know, when I was young, 160 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: I dressed differently. You know, I wore a lot bigger clothes. 161 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 1: I had my head shaved. Um. You know, if I 162 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: have tattoos, and I talked a little differently, you know, 163 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: And I'll share with you.

But I think 170 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: the fun part is is that there again, there again 171 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: goes that Caucasian thinking that they don't do anything wrong. 172 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, When they do, they just 173 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: don't get caught. But you know, I'm saying, but but, but, 174 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: I mean the thought behind that is is that there's 175 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: a lot of racial profiling. And what I mean by 176 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: that is I would walk up to in events, I 177 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: would walk into a show and right away I'd have security, 178 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: the cops and everybody else looking at me like, hey, 179 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: what did you do wrong? You know, And realistically I'm thinking, well, ship, 180 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: I didn't do anything, Why are they Why are they 181 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: sweating me? And for years I didn't understand why they 182 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: were sweating me, and and and and even in my 183 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: vehicles in my town. If it's like, you know what 184 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: of driving around in my car, people you know, Copple 185 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: pull next to me, look at me, and then all 186 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: of a sudden he hits his brakes and gets behind 187 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: me and pulls me over. And I'm like, why did 188 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: you pull me over? And this is it? Sayesn't seem 189 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: now we know. I think there's a lot more education 190 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: with what the poplars that law do, the mr checkpoints 191 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: and the film always filming the police and and and 192 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: seeing it the cops being recorded and caught on tape 193 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: treating minorities and different folks. Uh, unfairly. It's it's easier 194 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: to to to see it now. But back when I 195 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: was young, you know, it was normal for them to 196 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: just hit the brake, skip behind us and light us 197 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: up and pull us all out of the car and 198 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: dive through all our ship, illegal search us, and then 199 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: take us to jail for something stupid like hey, well 200 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: you know I'm taking new deal for a ticket that 201 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, you had it ten years ago with whatever, 202 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: and you're like, what are you talking about, Like, I 203 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: don't even know if find out it's been paid for, 204 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: and you know you're just getting a whole week in 205 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: jail for the ships and giggles, you know. Yeah, No, 206 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: there's definitely been that profile and going on forever. I 207 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: mean I think it's been known forever. The numbers have 208 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: always been the same with this disproportionately impact on on 209 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: the minority community. Or maybe it's trouble now instead of 210 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: triple and quadruple like it was before, because it would 211 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: be probably it's still the same Joe that Wunfortunately, it's 212 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: still the same and until we change the mind and 213 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: the education of law enforcement, it's not gonna and not 214 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: only law enforcement, just of everyone. These Karen's out there, 215 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: these Craigs out there, you know the titles that people 216 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: get for acting like you're like all right through the 217 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: Craig name, Lucky, I wasn't sitting next to you. Just 218 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: say gotta change, and God willing, they will buy us. 219 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: You know what, Kick yourself once for me, Just kick 220 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: yourself and think that was a good smack for my craig. Okay, 221 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: being a Craig. But everything this world would be a 222 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: better place, Craig. And it's when people do more of 223 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: what you and your brother are doing, which is standing 224 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: up for the minorities, because there's nothing better than two 225 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: older Jewish men standing up for the rights and teaching 226 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: people everyone their rights. Where a lot of people say 227 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: that wouldn't work for us because are black, and you know, 228 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: you're educating forest. It's like when it's like when Mark 229 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: and Craig, you know, go to an event with Snoop 230 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: Dogg and don't bring us because we're minorities.

And then 233 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: we try and bring them along everything, and then they 234 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: don't bring us to stuff they're not. I don't like 235 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: it's a little racial profile. They're still a white It's 236 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: Cannabis Talk one oh one. We'll be right back after 237 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: this piece. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one. 238 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: Craig Washerman with Cannabis Talk News. Let us know what's 239 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: going down, bub and you know it's the Olympic Times, right. Oh. 240 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: I was reading up on this article regarding oh my God, 241 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 1: what's that shar Richardson got suspended for having THC in 242 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: her system. Don't remind me. That's horrible, Sean Kary Richardson. 243 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: Absolutely incredible. She's getting banned for a substance that is 244 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: legal in forty eight states in one form or another, 245 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: getting banned because instead of taking some type of uh 246 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: depressant antidepressant, she smoked a joint when she heard that 247 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: her birth mother died and she heard it from some 248 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: journal list or something like that, and it's just hit 249 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: her hard and uh and now she's not in the Olympics. 250 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: It's a cause, that's why she smoked that day. Wow, 251 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: you know, I'll take I hate to take the other side, 252 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: but I will. You know the rules, you know the rules, Yeah, 253 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: but they shouldn't know so so I mean, what's what's 254 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: so sad about that? Stapent Joe and I don't completely 255 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: disagree because the rules are the rules, right, But the 256 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: rules are stopping someone from taking a medication that has 257 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: proven that has not proven to have This is what 258 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: This is the funny part too. It has not proven 259 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: to be performance enhancing. Oh, it's not at all. You 260 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: can be wrong, if anything, if anything, if you were 261 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: one of the competitors, wouldn't you be going like, yeah, smoke, 262 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: but all alcohol joint, smoke whole joint before our race, 263 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: before our fight. I could play Devil's advocate to both 264 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: sides of this story, right, because here's the reality, is 265 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: the rules of the rules, and she, by no means, 266 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: in my opinion, should she have been eliminated one but 267 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: to play Devil's advocate and to to play the story out. 268 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: The X Games, which is brought to me by Kyle Turley, 269 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: has a higher level of th HC, which is an 270 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: Olympic sport Okay, that has higher they're they're governed by 271 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: the same bodies, has a higher level of th HC 272 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: that they could have in their system. Because these professional skateboarders, 273 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: surfers and stuff like that, old white folks Okay, all 274 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: smoke cannabis, the majority of them. So the levels of 275 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: their ability to be able to uh to smoke or 276 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: way higher. But yet hers and the same body governing 277 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: them for swimming is lower. And it kills me for that. 278 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: But on the other hand, you know, again playing Devil's 279 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: advocate saying hey, what about Japan though that says we 280 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: have a no tolerance for this ship where the games 281 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: are being held to China, where they hang your asked 282 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: for the for having cannabis, you know, or any other 283 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: drug for that matter, and so those and and this 284 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: is a worldwide sport we're talking about, so you have 285 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: to not think of like ship for us, it's almost 286 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: like this is crazy, this is impossible. But in the 287 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: rest of the world, no one gives no ships about 288 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: what we're doing over here or what's legal here, and 289 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: the rules are been in stone, and so it's it 290 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: would I would almost bet that if you know, if 291 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: it was a vote on the United States, we would 292 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: have kept her in. But it's a worldwide vote, so 293 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: even out of the fort it's the rule of the 294 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: governing body for the world, though you know what I mean, 295 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: not for the United States, you know. So it's like 296 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: the governing body that's that's um, you know, making the 297 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 1: choice to to test them and kick them out of 298 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: the sport is more much bigger than just the United States. 299 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: But this is actually interesting because I'm reading an article 300 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: here about Richardson, who publicly apologized for her use. She 301 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: got a minimum suspension of one month because she showed 302 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: that she did not take the drug with the intention 303 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: to gain any type of advantage. The maximum suspension we're 304 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: testing positive for THHC and one of the banned substances 305 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: is two years, so she literally got a month. One 306 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: month suspension unfortunately came at the time of the Olympics, 307 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: which knocked her out of it. Um. But it shows 308 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: because there's there's no you, there's no studies that it 309 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: enhances your ability to perform. There are some arguments which 310 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: could be you know, for some athletes more focused, well 311 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: not only more focused, right, you recover master, so if 312 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: you're swimming so much and after the fact enables but no, 313 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: and then so your recovery shorter, so you can go 314 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: harder sooner. So now your next race you're able to 315 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: go harder because you're recovery. Interesting, I'd like to see 316 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: one of these Olympic athletes who smoke, actually smoke a 317 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: whole blunt right before a race and see how and 318 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: see and see what happens. I don't know, that's what's 319 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: funny you say that, though, Craig, I don't think, uh, 320 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: a professional athlete would probably do that. Even the NBA 321 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: players have smoked, They've only a couple of them have 322 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: done in a couple of games that you know, I've 323 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: heard stories of beforehand. Maybe back in the day to 324 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: like your day growing up, they were drinking beers, there 325 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: were smoking joints, you know, especially baseball players. When you 326 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: look at it back in the day, they're pounding six 327 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: packs and then going to play a third base or 328 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: pitched that game. For God's sakes, way back in the day. 329 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: Who knows if they were smoking, but they were doing 330 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: lines in the NFL. It was a freaking mess back 331 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: in the days in those locker rooms before those games, 332 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: drinking beers, doing lines, smoking cigarettes, smoking joints, the whole nine, 333 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: and they're out there playing football. So it's the Olympics. 334 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: It is a ship scenario that happened. It's gonna be 335 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: interesting to see how the world reacts and if that changes. 336 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: Take love what Blue said, it's very racist when it 337 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: comes to the X Games having a higher potency level 338 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: that gets tested on. Let's at least raise the level 339 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: to that for starters are eliminated, because you're right, as 340 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,199 Speaker 1: far as it enhance her, it's just eliminated. But the 341 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: problem with eliminating it is there's so many other countries 342 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: that you could be killed for smoking it. Let alone, 343 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 1: you can now you could use it there at the Olympics. 344 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: I wonder how that's gonna work if you're from a 345 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 1: certain country and then you go there and you decide 346 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: to smoke weed with an American like you know, and 347 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: and back home and get killed. I think, what what 348 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: do you? What do you when you think of it, 349 00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: right and you go, you know, you have to play 350 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: the the the guys in Japan right, for them to 351 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: eliminate for the guys in China, for Russia, for them 352 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: to eliminate a US swimmer by saying, hey, you broke 353 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: the law, the rules. You know, it makes sense, you know, 354 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: because if I was in China and I was like, hey, 355 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: that's one less person we have to beat, right, you know. 356 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: And but here in the United States, we're fucking, you know, 357 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: in an outcry because we're like, this is bullshit. We 358 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: can't be mad at our own government and our own 359 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 1: people for this. This one. In my opinion, I think 360 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: this one has to go to the governing body that 361 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: controls Japan, Russians, the International Olympic Committee, right, which is 362 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: an international play. It's not it's not the US. And 363 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: so the US takes the hit, but you know one 364 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: at one time it wasn't even on the list of banned. Subtly, yeah, 365 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: I think it's only been um like uh eight or 366 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: ten years on cannabis is on, but mark in this 367 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: in this article, marijuana's inclusion as a band drug began 368 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: in Japan at the Naga Nagana Winter Olympics. Now in 369 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: Japan and it's happening again. However, Canadian this is interesting. 370 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: A little fun fact. The snowboarder Ross re Blagadia tested 371 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: positive for COVID after winning the sports first first gold medal. COVID. 372 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: What you said, positive for COVID for cannabish you mean no? 373 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: He tested positive for cannabis after winning the snowboarding snowboarder 374 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: first gold medal. The sports first gold medal was the 375 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: first time it was it was in the Olympics. He 376 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: claimed it was a result of second hand smoke after 377 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: the listen to that. After losing his medal he had 378 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 1: it restored because the IOC, which is the Olympic International 379 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: Olympic Committee, did not include marijuana on its band list 380 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: at the time. In what year that now this guys 381 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: could become celebrity and a cannabis entrepreneurial figure. You know, 382 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts Mark, since you've joined us? I mean, 383 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: I know you've heard just a little bit, I mean 384 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: about this obviously we know ship, but I mean, what 385 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,360 Speaker 1: are you what are your thoughts on I'm right there. 386 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: It's ridiculous, you know, to come after somebody like that, 387 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: And I do think it's racially charged. Especially look at 388 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: that you that's here was white. But that snowboarder was 389 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: a white guy. But it wasn't in the Italian guidelined them. 390 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: He was Italian. Well here, here's the one thing we 391 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: were saying right before you came on, Mark, is that 392 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: you know there it's it's Japan, you know, where they 393 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: have no talance for cannabis. It's China where they have 394 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: no challenge. It's Russia where they have no tallenge, whereas 395 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 1: Israel and in other places they do. But the majority 396 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: of the rest of the world, you know, it hasn't 397 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: caught up to us. If you will, it's true. So 398 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: by playing Devil's advocate, you know, you gotta look at 399 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: it like you know, it's the international you know whatever, 400 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: it's just a ship show because they need to do 401 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 1: you realize that alcohol was at one point band also, 402 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: but that was removed from the list in two thousand eighteen. Ever, ever, 403 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 1: they weren't allowed to drink at all, or was another 404 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: in their system before or after? Well, yeah, that that 405 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: makes sense. I mean, I don't think an athlete should 406 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: be no, but now it's off the list. You don't 407 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: get tested for alcohol. Oh so you could have a 408 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: drink right before the fucking fight. You could do whatever 409 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: you want. You need. What it says is these countries 410 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: need more fucking education. Yes, this is that is very true. 411 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of a top One on one will be 412 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: right back after this. Take a hit, get lit, and 413 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy hand one oh one market Ka 414 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: Popper is that law with and Joe Grandin Right now? 415 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: Blue is gonna tell us who's making way.

Now. Through 427 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: this process, guys, of course, you know, um, we didn't 428 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: want to post anything that wasn't gonna be real, so 429 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: we started to try and gather as many facts as possible. 430 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: But what we did find out is that there was 431 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 1: some arrest made and people were going after the the 432 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: bodies that were there. I'm not sure at this point 433 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: that they were the d e A or the FBI. 434 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: The bodies that were there were looking for Delta eight 435 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: Delta ten because three weeks ago previously in Vegas they 436 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: banned and outlawed Delta eight and Delta ten and it 437 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: has to go through the same bureaus of of Cannabis 438 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: and it's been legally structured as the same laws of 439 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: Delta nine, which is THHC. Through this process though, guys, 440 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: that was uh a city council member that was walking 441 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 1: through the the event, and this is the story, okay, 442 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: this was told is that somebody gave them what was 443 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: what they thought was a CVD product, It was a 444 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: Delta eight product. Ended up getting them super lit. That 445 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: person at the end of the day went back contacted 446 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: everybody and their mother's they gotta warrant that evening. Okay, 447 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: that night they went went and got a warrant for 448 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: the convention center. The next morning they issued warrants to 449 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: individual booths that were at the show, and then they 450 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: were able to go through each and every individual's stuff 451 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,199 Speaker 1: and then tell them, hey, you need to cover all 452 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: your Delta eight and if they had more than a 453 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: certain amount, then they were finding people. Now, what was 454 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: ironic to myself and maybe Joe Grande, because we were 455 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: walking the show the following day after it got raided, 456 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: is that when we went through there, there was plenty 457 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: of Delta eight still on the floor. Hey, I mean people, Yeah, 458 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: people will still had a ton of Delta eight.

There there was all 460 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: kinds of you know, um, you know, everybody had whatever 461 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: you had Delta eight, it was covered. Now people's boosts. 462 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: Apparently we're supposed to be shut down, but I didn't 463 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: see any empty spots where people look like their boots 464 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: were got down. Now, I got a lot of good 465 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: information from a lot of different people after walking the 466 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: floor of the following day, and I feel like there 467 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: was no raid. I feel like they dressed up some 468 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: really good people that the Champs did and in in 469 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: a in an act to not get fined because Champs 470 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: was supposed to get fifty fines for every single person 471 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: that had a Delta eight uh stickers or whatever. Didn't 472 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: somebody give a Delta eight gunny to the Attorney General, 473 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: which is what started it all. Well that's the story. Okay, 474 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: that's the story, but that's not have hasn't been proven yet, right, 475 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: So again, someone got the you know, the Attorney General 476 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: got a they thought it was a CBD gummy. They 477 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: ended up taking it. It was Delta eight. This is 478 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: the story that led up to Then that night they 479 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 1: came in. They did a whole sweep through all the 480 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: Delta eight places, anybody who had Delta eight. That next 481 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: morning they held the show for an hour while while 482 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: there was dogs and all kinds of people walking the floor, 483 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: which was assumed to be the d e A and 484 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: the FBI and the dogs walking around and all this 485 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: that the people from Champs were not allowing everybody to 486 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: come in. They were all supposed to come in at 487 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. They didn't get to come intil one o'clock. 488 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: And that twelve thirty one o'clock when they let everybody in, 489 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 1: they had people that appeared to be some kind of uh, 490 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: law enforcement standing at individual's booths saying you have to 491 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: black this stuff out or take it down. Black it out, 492 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: take it down. Somebody made a huge fuss about it. 493 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: That person that made a fuss about it ended up 494 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 1: one or two people got arrested because of, you know, 495 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: the the outrage that they're creating. And I don't know 496 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: who they were arrested by with it was law enforcement 497 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. And then but the following day, we're walking 498 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: the show and people were smoking joints as usual. There 499 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: was Delta A everywhere. Now they covered it on, you know, 500 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: on all their their banners and anywhere else that the 501 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: Delta the Delta logos were at. But as I walked 502 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: up and I've seen people booze, they still had Delta 503 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: eight there. So what was your thoughts on this, Joe? 504 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,719 Speaker 1: I thought it was weird that the state shut that 505 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: down such a last minute thing and then they still 506 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: hold this could mention. It sucks. I feel really bad 507 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: for the vendors that were there, and uh for those 508 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: that came as vendors didn't realize the state was just 509 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: cracking down like that. I do agree with rules or rules, 510 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: laws or laws. I'm one of those guys too, um 511 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: and I'm definitely one of those guys that likes to 512 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: ask for forgiveness rather than permission as well. So that 513 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: all being said, I may do the crime, do the time, 514 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: and I shut my mouth and do it type of guy, 515 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: which I have and done in the past. I'm not, 516 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, just one that just preaches an act like 517 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: oh but you know, I've done some ship and done 518 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: forty nine days in jail, and there it is. I'm 519 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: okay with it. So that being said, on this scenario, 520 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: of course they're supposed to bring it to the show. 521 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: Of course they're supposed to try to sell it to vendors. 522 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: And then they got righted and got caught. The good 523 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: thing is they didn't arrest people. They got the hand slap. 524 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: It's what's supposed to go down. You're not you know, 525 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: you're the law enforcement. You're supposed to put some law 526 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: in order. You're not gonna get away with this. But 527 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: nobody went to the bean tha. Nobody's making their free calls. 528 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: The eight lost law to get them out, So you know, 529 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: it's a good smack on the hand, it's a good scare. 530 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: It made a lot of press, It got on a 531 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: lot of websites, but in the big scheme of things, 532 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: they're just trying to keep law in order in Nevada 533 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: and good old Las Vegas. Is how I felt, and uh, 534 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: I can respect it, and I can respect those that 535 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: brought it and tried to push it as well, because 536 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't legal a fucking week ago, and then it's 537 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: legual like the week like's just come on, you know, yeah, 538 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: the Delta eight is ever changing landscape right now, what 539 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: I mean, And it's like, what is it legal? Is 540 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: not legal? Come on? Let me just bring it and 541 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:05,239 Speaker 1: see what I can do, because you're not gonna get 542 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: in trouble. Bring it across state lines. That's the other thing. 543 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: You can bring it from Texas. You can bring it 544 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: from wherever. We met a lot of folks from Texas there, 545 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 1: So you know what, keep shaking it, keep selling it, 546 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: and if they shut it down. It doesn't have the 547 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: high percentage of th HC. Keep doing your thing, but 548 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: it didn't really. I just felt bad for those folks 549 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: that did do it though. That being said, it's Cannabis 550 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: Talk one on one Blue.
