80
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: what made you come up with cannabis and dispensary? And

81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: are you from southern California? Are where do you come

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: up with this concept to open up the Higher Path collective? Um?

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm from the North Bay, so born in Santa Cruz

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: and also operated dispensaries out of San Francisco, UM which

85
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: was the Green Cross, okay UM. And so we were there,

86
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, since two thousand three and got to like talking,

87
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, in the government kind of place under Gavin Newsom.

88
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: He gave us some space into the Medical Marijuana Task Force,

89
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: which was nice kind of learning about one of the

90
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: ones that love him. You're like, okay, Gavin Newsom, that's

91
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: our guy. He helped us out. I don't know, a

92
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: coaster ride, right, is a roller coaster ride with the guy.

93
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: I think in some ways you can't ask him to

94
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: take care of all the problems of cannabis. There's a

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: lot of problems in California to begin with, but it

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: would be nice if he focused on us a little

97
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: bit more. But you know, it's like I can't have

98
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: wave a magic wand and I mean you could drop

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: it there. Hey, he knew a lot about the industry,

100
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: helped us like get to a place of where government

101
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: was really allowing us to speak and talk about best

102
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: business practices and how to grow weed better and and

103
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: train people inside San Francisco and how to do it.

104
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: And he gave us that spot. You know, we got

105
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 1: had we got to have gavels and sit inside city

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: hall and all of those things were just really important

107
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: for us to be liked. I remember sitting in city

108
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: hall in Los Angeles. You're talking about when they when

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: they were letting everybody coming into speeches and stuff. This

110
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,479
Speaker 1: was in San Francisco. San Francisco. Okay, cool, Yeah, But

111
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: you know I've also been here for ten years, you know,

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: doing the same thing that we did in kind of

113
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco. It's kind of like when I saw l

114
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: A just kind of had this wild wild West mentality

115
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: of who was going to be legal and who wasn't

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: coming down here and prop D just got open and

117
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: finding this dispensary and trying to build the kind of

118
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: the network around it was where the U c b

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: A came up. It's like we were all just looking

120
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: at what are we gonna do tomorrow? We have a

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: dispensary today and a prop d but we don't know

122
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: what that means, and and no one really did, and

123
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: so we really had to set rules to make you

124
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: had a pink um uh tr trc. I got one

125
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of my desk in there, dude like that. I used

126
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: to have a historical Oh yes, So you watch this

127
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: evolution change from even you know, early stages of San Francisco,

128
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: because there was spots in San Francisco are sexually Santa

129
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Cruz because I grew up in San Jose, where we

130
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: need to go to Santa Cruz. You can get weed

131
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: to Santa Cruz just I can get weed to San

132
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Francisco whether you're in the mission, you're on the hat.

133
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Are you're opening up a shop there? But you can

134
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: still get him on mission? Are they eight? You can

135
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: still get him portral Hill, you know, I mean you

136
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: just go to the cuts. You could always find anywhere

137
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. It feels like, but what led you

138
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: to opening up that in Francisco? Was it the Was

139
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: it the Santa Cruz treatment of cannabis that raising up

140
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: in that Santa Cruz area that gave you that foundation?

141
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: Because in my opinion as well Santa Cruz is one

142
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: of those humbld The areas of Humble Santa Cruz is

143
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: where the true pioneers. In my eyes and as I

144
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: vision cannabis in California, let alone I look at it,

145
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: I feel like it goes globally from those eras of

146
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: growers and people who learned things. Santa Cruz and Humble

147
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: are the two spots and how I envisioned, and that

148
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: could be wrong. Well, you understand how I envisioned. And

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: just to clarify that, joy what I think you're saying though,

150
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: and that's on the on the um, like the premium,

151
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: high level cush So when you say that, you're right,

152
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: you know exactly what quality indoor grows, You know what

153
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, greenhouse indoor grows, but but not like the

154
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: craziest smoke from areas like the best, yeah, best, That's

155
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: what exactly what I mean. Thank you for clarifying, because

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean the Mexican way that came over from the

157
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: and and and then the Canadians were shoveling it down

158
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: here to like like nobody's business, and then northern California

159
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: had the primo. That was how I That's how I

160
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying because that's good for And I'm

161
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: glad that you know exactly what I mean as well,

162
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: because then we're buddies, like brothers like that, we're like,

163
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: what Joe means is this? I think we had the

164
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: best trees and and landscape to be able to hide.

165
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: You look at Humboldt and you look at Santa Cruz.

166
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: We hid in the trees, were hidd in the mountains.

167
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: We had great son, we had great air, and it

168
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: gave you an opportunity to really create an infrastructure and

169
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: know that every year you were still going to be there.

170
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's what Humboldt in Santa Cruz really

171
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: gave the canvas industry with some stability by being able

172
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: to hide. Yeah, I love it. And did you hide

173
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: in those hills growing? Um? No, I was a kid

174
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: when I was in Santa CRUs. Maybe my dad was,

175
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 1: but I'm not really sure. Probably probably your dad probably did.

176
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: I used to go to visit northern California and I'd

177
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: literally walk in and like my friends would be, yeah,

178
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: let's go over here, and I'm like, oh, did you

179
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: guys got a mass of growing this house? And then

180
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: I look across the street and like looks like their

181
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: houses growing to it, Like, oh, they grow too, And

182
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: I'll be like, okay, let let's go check it out

183
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: and walk over there and like growing here and I'm like,

184
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: oh ship, and I'll be like, the whole fucking neighborhood's

185
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: growing and shoot growing. Yeah, everybody's growing fucking weed out here.

186
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: And it's true, like everybody's grows cannabis out there. You know,

187
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: It's like it was just I felt like it. Yeah.

188
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if everybody was, but I can think

189
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: of my neighborhoods, even in Santasy growing up, I had

190
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: about four neighbors that had a huge, big four plants,

191
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: if not more in their backyards in my four block,

192
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: big and everything. I mean that was my close friends.

193
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know everybody. I'm just saying those are

194
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: my close friends. Yeah, I'm just talking about the people,

195
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of people. At my point is

196
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: you're right everybodycause there's a lot of people. Is that

197
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: a fact or we're just making it up? No, I

198
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: mean you're one degree of separation from someone who grows weed.

199
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 1: That's why it's like, you know, sometimes it's hard to

200
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: run a retail up there because everyone has access to

201
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: it with their friends or family or close relative. Um,

202
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: when you're in Los Angeles, that's six degrees of separation,

203
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: is true. Um knowing where a grower is because you know,

204
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: so of the indoor stuff days pretty under under the radar.

205
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: But when you have a big farm, you've got to

206
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: have like trimmers and people come and people making food.

207
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: It was like a whole community you had to have.

208
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: And when you came out here in Los Angeles, I

209
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: believe it was two when you first came out here

210
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: opening up. Um, that's when I opened the higher Path. Yeah.

211
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: And when you did that, why Sherman Oaks, Why is

212
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: it the first location? I looked at seventy locations before

213
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: I moved that license there because it was like, you know,

214
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: I have an economics background, that's my degree, and so

215
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: looking at where the expansion was going to be, I

216
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: looked across the street of this one spot, and there

217
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: was in brand new Ralphs that was going to be

218
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: built in two or three years with three parking spots

219
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: right off of the Hollywood Hills, which is you know,

220
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: upper middle class and so trying to find a way

221
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: to get outside of just like how many O g

222
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: cushes can you carry in Los Angeles. I come from

223
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: Northern California, where high end sativas were what we sold

224
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: the most of, and I came here and it's like wow,

225
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: people don't understand the difference. And so I really wanted

226
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,080
Speaker 1: to kind of attract a different demographic. So you know,

227
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: we have Ariana here sitting in the audience. She was

228
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: my second employee at the Higher Path and she's been

229
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: with us now for over six years. And knowing that

230
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to kind of appeal to more of a

231
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: female demographic. All of my managers were all female. And

232
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: this isn't like girls and booty shorts, this is like

233
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: powerful women, intelligent. I mean, you really want to attract

234
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: and give someone some comfort. And so if you walk

235
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: into a shop and you see a girl in booty shows,

236
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're really going to ask all

237
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: these real questions. These girls still do look good and

238
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: booty shorts that they were in them, by the way,

239
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: So you can't just say that, I see what you're saying.

240
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: That what you're saying, he didn't go after that. Look,

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: you know it's the same for us. Listen, we have integrated.

242
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: We don't wear that blue and I can all day

243
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: I look good at and we shave each other, so

244
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: we both know that we're gonna look good if we warm.

245
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: So just to give an insight, but we don't do it,

246
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: and he's right, no. But I'm saying, is that is

247
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: that we never really sold sex as far as trying

248
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: to grow our comp me either, you know what I mean,

249
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: We didn't. We didn't, you know, build just talking one

250
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: on one on on on hot you know, models and

251
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: stuff like hosts. Definitely not hot host Look at us,

252
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah we have we both have faces for radio. So

253
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: I think what it is is there's a time and

254
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: a place for all of that. And I think there

255
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: was an underserved market for for females to feel like

256
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: they could go into a shop and talk about their

257
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: menstrual crams, talk about anxiety, talk about things that they

258
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: felt comfortable in doing instead of having their boyfriend or

259
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: their husband go buy them weed. They want to come

260
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: into a spot that felt comfortable. And so it was

261
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: like a spa like atmosphere. It was supposed to be enticing.

262
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: You know. We did burn candles, we did have the

263
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: things that were there to really make it comfortable essential

264
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: things that are essential for the women, that make everybody

265
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: feel good. Who doesn't like the smell of a good oil. Yeah,

266
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: but they were like, this is back when it was

267
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,719
Speaker 1: still a trap, you know what I mean, and was

268
00:12:50,040 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: felt and that it was tough blow. You're right, but

269
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: it's not to take a risk like that is risky.

270
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: It took it took almost a couple of years to

271
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: even get some market share because we stood out so

272
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: much that people are like, why would I send my

273
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: girlfriend to go pick up weed? I gotta be protective

274
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: And so then it was like, wait a second, I'm

275
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: the bread winder, I'm the head of the household, like,

276
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: and as a female is like, I want a place

277
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: to feel comfortable in And it was really important to

278
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: kind of create that space because it really wasn't here

279
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: for us. And where exactly are you guys at in

280
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: Sherman Oaks right there? So I mean essentially, you know, you're, you're,

281
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: you're thought processes is to cater to you know, more

282
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: of you know, just anybody. Right. So, because a lot

283
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: of the I think the thought process to cannabis right

284
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: now has been you know, from the beginning, I'm talking

285
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: two thousands seventeen. Right, going back would be more like

286
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: tough guys security at the door straight, you know what

287
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like watch out, someone's in a robbus. Because

288
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: there was a lot more going on back then, and

289
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: then so your your guys model was coming, like, you know,

290
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: let's just have more of a like a zen, you know,

291
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: a nice vibe where you could come in and get

292
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: some real good education, have a nice sense. I feel

293
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: like you're in a clean store and get some good

294
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: information from you know, the people that you're working with,

295
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: instead of meeting the security guard at the door and

296
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: going like damn, I'm not sure if the next guy

297
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: is going to rob me or if I'm buying weed

298
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: from him? Right, I said, right? Is that what it

299
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: sounds true? It was an underserved market that still was smoking.

300
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I was still it was still like part of the industry.

301
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: They just were represented very well and so it was

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: a good. God remember that day though, Like I used

303
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: to go in stores like damn, dude, this is a

304
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: this is a legit store because I just spoke to

305
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: legit right now, Yeah, this one's a legit like damn,

306
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, and I was, you know, I felt that

307
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: exact same way you know many times in stores, so

308
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: I know what you mean by you know. It's almost

309
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: a joke that you use the other day blue, which

310
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: I find to be funny, which is people are gonna

311
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: build new dispensaries that look like trap shops. And it's

312
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: funny that you said that dog but it's a model,

313
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: but you just pinpointed a mottel that's gonna be Do

314
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: we need to go back to making our legit shop

315
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: feel like a trap shop. We need to go a

316
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: little bit back. They are all so fancy, and then

317
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: some of them are booze, like Jared did going, Oh,

318
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna go all the style, but all the lotions

319
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: and dreams and ship you know what I mean. When

320
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: he comes to the high pad, don't slip on the

321
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: grease because we're greasy up in this bud. We're doing

322
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: a nice and smooth which is nice though, because I

323
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: love that whole concept. I mean, we had what's his

324
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: name from Medman here he started that whole Adam came

325
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: how he came up with that look, and that's that's

326
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: great and what you're doing right there, and it's funny

327
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: because you're right here. Damn, you're off the Boulevard. Dog,

328
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: you're by Tye Ship. But my boy Christian Corbyn's restaurant.

329
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: You know, my boy Christian, that's my dog right there.

330
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: And I see that you're right down the street from

331
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: his Japanese restaurant Blue. We gotta go to this Japanese restaurant.

332
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: And he's such a player. He's the one that Dr

333
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Jared was taking. Yeah, he's over there. That that's with

334
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: all these people, he said, of course right now. This

335
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: is the thing audience about Terry, which is dope. He's

336
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: in the valley where all the celebrities are too. So

337
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: this is a location that is funny to think if

338
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: you're listening in a different country and you're listening to

339
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: the States, all these cats here with us. When I

340
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: say all these cats, Mason and Theresa, probably Mason and

341
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Theresa more deal with the celebrity aspect of life that

342
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: probably walk in and out of that. Can you guys

343
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: can say the story. We've got Michael Jackson coming through

344
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: trust me there justin Bieber had that happen. I know,

345
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: I've cleared him out. And that's what's so dope. To

346
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: go back to what you did, Jared is picking a location.

347
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, you're right off the Buletvard and just buy

348
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: more park. You're by everything, you're by, You're by all

349
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: the hotspots. I just realized your location right now. And

350
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: that's why I'm saying this's going dude, I see exactly

351
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: where you're rats prime prime, prime spots. And we had

352
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: to start with eight square feet and you know we're

353
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: ten thousand square feet now. So the fact that we

354
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: were able to kind of help this like a little

355
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: the growth. We start moving out, your neighbors like move

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: out or you guys got a new locations. No, we stay.

357
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: We stayed in the same spot. I think what happened

358
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: was all the neighbors started realizing we were a real

359
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,959
Speaker 1: business and we were trying to help the community, and

360
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: we would go and donate time and money and energy

361
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: to our community. And I lived like less than a

362
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: half a block away on Dickens, which was in an

363
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: apartment for six years, like within walking distance. So when

364
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: I walked out and went shopping and went to eat,

365
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: it was all the same people who were shopping at

366
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: the store. And so when you notice each other and

367
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: you realize that you're kind of supporting the same community,

368
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: it really does kind of change things and you have

369
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: to get involved. Like one of the things that you know,

370
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: when we were we had an education platform for cannabis.

371
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: We were helping people, you know, launch stores and figure

372
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: out how to get involved. Like you know, at first

373
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,239
Speaker 1: think and you, dude, get involved in your city. I

374
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: deal with the people that really are operating in your

375
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,479
Speaker 1: freaking city, because a lot of people they forget that, right,

376
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: they just go, I'm gonna go talk to my friend.

377
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna tell me how to do this and tell

378
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: me how It's like, like, go deal with the people

379
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: of the city that are asked them what's going on

380
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: about what you're trying to do, because that's just gonna

381
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: give you the bass. Like you're not gonna just go

382
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: your friends not gonna give you the magical information. The

383
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: city you're trying to go open up death store at

384
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: they have regulations and you know, the state has regulations.

385
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: You have to you know, go through that model and

386
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like your other company, what was it called,

387
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: the helps people do that U c b A. Right.

411
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: because I want to touch on that with Blue just

412
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: mentioned a minute ago before we went out with with

413
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the U c b A. How did you. I love

414
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: how you're working together with a bunch of license retail

415
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 1: dispensary owners operate. That's because, in my opinion, I remember

416
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: going to a meeting once and down in Los Angeles,

417
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: and help me remember that. I went to many a

418
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: meetings and probably it's probably clock I think it was.

419
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 1: It was for that one block. Is that what it is?

420
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: It was a clock that I went to the meeting.

421
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: I think you're right. So my point is I remember

422
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: an organization and that's exactly might have been with it. No,

423
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I remember because I went there and I

424
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: spoke there about processing and talked to a bunch of

425
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: dispensary owners. But my point behind that was I loved

426
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: seeing the dispense three owners get together and unionized, come

427
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: together because that's what they need to do. And the

428
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: biggest complaint was getting the police to acknowledge these fucking

429
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: dispensing matter because they're going out to everybody. And I

430
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: this was even before I met Blue, right, this is

431
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: before I was a part of the show. And I

432
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: remember going to these DOCTA meetings, I think it was

433
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: your right with DOCTA or whatever it was LACA and

434
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: hearing the complaints from these folks of the biggest gripe

435
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: was a legal dispensaries and the cops aren't spending the

436
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: money to go over there. They're coming after us anyways

437
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: and doing it. So you, at my point is to

438
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: this organization that you helped create, is it because of

439
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: that or how does this even come about? Because I'm

440
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: so interested. U c b A is needed, not only needed,

441
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: I believe it needs to be a union a alcohol

442
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: like like that with you for Budweiser and this, and

443
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: that there needs to be more than just what we

444
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: have now for the owners in my opinion, So I

445
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:57,719
Speaker 1: like that you're doing the U c b A. How

446
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: does it come about? Um mullen prop to you around

447
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: we just had something called limited immunity. We didn't even

448
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: have a license, and so you know we were going

449
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: to transition into a legal, licensed state run like cannabis company.

450
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: There was only a hundred and thirty five property compliant

451
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: locations and there was a thousand illegal dispensaries and we

452
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: were paying six percent tax and no one else was,

453
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: and so we're trying to find where is going to

454
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: be the balance, and this group got together so that

455
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: we could write UM an ordinance. So we got together

456
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: and we wrote Measure m UM and so that went

457
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: on the ballot of sixteen and got an eight one

458
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: percent voter approval, which actually ushered in the new legal

459
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: era in Los Angeles where we're licensed and and kind

460
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: of regulated. So we got together mostly because we say,

461
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: we who's we used to have a firehouse? Yeah? Yeah,

462
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: that was my license. So I sold that to z

463
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: Um and then he you know, went and did his thing.

464
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 1: You know what that was no reflection firehouse Atopher right,

465
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: that's not me. Yeah, but but so I know exactly

466
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: like the what you guys are going we're going through, right,

467
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: because again I had that pig freaking piece of paper

468
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: that I thought, you know, it was like, oh yeah,

469
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get ready. No, we got rated, we

470
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: got shut down. And then he was showing them to me.

471
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: It's like, why are we getting hit? Why are we

472
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: getting readed? There was no kind of It's like, you

473
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: guys were paying our taxes, you told us to do this,

474
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: Like we're doing everything protection everything. The police are like,

475
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: we don't give a funk what you think. Get your

476
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: ship going, Like what, that's not what they say. And

477
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: I talked to Chuck all there, and Chuck said that

478
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: everything good. And I talked to Larry and Larry said

479
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 1: like breathe, you know, like get it up, wrap it up,

480
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: and I'm taking all this from you. So that just happens. Also,

481
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: so how many people all together, Jared are in this

482
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: U C B A. And can't anybody else be a

483
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: part of it? Can people come and unite? Can people

484
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 1: come together? What is this organizization about? Yeah, the organization

485
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: is two thirds retailers and one third other license types.

486
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 1: And we did that to make sure that we didn't

487
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: fall into the same problem Glock fell into. I was

488
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: trying to represent every every license type became an arguing

489
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: match inside of the own organization. So I made sure

490
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: this organization with centric around retailers because they didn't seem

491
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: to have like a central group to communicate from. And

492
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: when I got here, everyone to be their own island.

493
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: As a as a retailer, they're always like, you know,

494
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: I got all this intellectual property is always like my precious.

495
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: It's like you know, so no one wanted to communicate

496
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: with each other. So this was an opportunity to say,

497
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: what's good business practices. We need to fund, you know,

498
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: writing an ordinance. It cost us one point six million

499
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: dollars to just get this ordinance done. You know, you

500
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: gotta get a hundred thousand signatures in l A to

501
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: even to even put an ordinance on the ballot. So

502
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: it was expensive, and I had to get these groups together,

503
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: like lawyers and everybody was there, and then trying to

504
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: get cannabis dollars into an election it was also difficult,

505
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: and you had to have a third party hold the

506
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: bank account so like. So it was a lot. But

507
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen people kind of got it started, and

508
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: we kind of started U C B A, and then

509
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: it expanded up to about eighty people inside Los Angeles

510
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: and then we wrote that at ordinance. And once that

511
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: ordinance was on the ballot, it was pretty easy from

512
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: there to start communicating directly to city council because they

513
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: saw that we can raise funds, we can write an ordinance.

514
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: We are legally bound to each other. We want you

515
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: to be legally bound to us. Because that little piece

516
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: of paper didn't stop the police. But when we finally

517
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: started getting laws and started banning together, then we said,

518
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: you know, the city attorney, give us a list of

519
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: all who's legal. So then a list of a hundred

520
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: and thirty five property compliant locations come out. And then

521
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: when you were on that list, you showed that to

522
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: the police. City attorney said, we're on this list. Get

523
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: the funk out. Isn't it funny to have to go

524
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: through that process of doing everything right and then stilling

525
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: having to prove it when you're like, dude, I'm doing

526
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: everything right, to have to now go the next step

527
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: of you guys write it down with right now, and

528
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: then even that, well, what's that? Because these cops don't

529
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 1: really know what that is yet. They hadn't seeing it.

530
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: They gotta look at it like, okay, am I taking

531
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: this for true value was at a real stance. An

532
00:25:54,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about it because going around last name, the

533
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: first time you look at your name, come, you definitely

534
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: heard that one. Uh. And then hello, my name is

535
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: Mason Miller and I'm one of the director of education.

536
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: Here's our license please start. Yeah, let's go there. Director

537
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: of education. How does that become Mason? How do you

538
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: become the director of education? Is that because you showed

539
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: them pictures of you stone at the age of eight

540
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: class of experience. Yeah, I have the rap. I am

541
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: the educator here, sir, I grew up planet ten years old,

542
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: start a spelling a date. I can do this all

543
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: here we go. No, seriously, how does one become the

544
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: director of education? Well, I had a lot of help.

545
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: I had a lot of help from our colleagues. Actually, Ari,

546
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: who Jared mentioned, has been my mentor since I started,

547
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: uh shortly after they opened the shop. So I've been

548
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: in with the company for about six years now, and um,

549
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: pretty much I don't like the guy. Yeah, you know,

550
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: we can stay out of it once in a whist,

551
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: just check it absolutely sign it's a good side, you know.

552
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: And that's actually worth mentioning because I feel like in

553
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: this industry it's important to note that the owner of

554
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: a dispensary has so much compassion for his employees and

555
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: and their staff, which isn't said very often for a dispensary.

556
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Uh So some of you don't even know the owner,

557
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: that's very true. And some of the owners don't ever

558
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: want to come out and talk and speak up. There's

559
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: only there's only a few like Sasha is one of

560
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: the sausa and his brother. You you know Sasha and

561
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: his brother what what are they d M what are

562
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: they m? D D? Nice guys. My point is my

563
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: point behind that is ready for this is you remind

564
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: me of them and we really love them. So that's

565
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 1: why I bring him off. I don't know that all

566
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: these guys better yet, I don't know. We love them

567
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: and take out they eat sauces, take us to go

568
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: eat you sponsor in the show, yet we don't love

569
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: me Sasha's sponsors from parties. Hey, but still I got

570
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: front though. I still like the higher everything. I like

571
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: the location as a look, I like the website, and

572
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: I'm liking education. How did you get How does the

573
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: director of Education come about? Sure? Well, to be honest

574
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: with you, we actually created the role entirely from based

575
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: based off the need of education, and uh, starting so

576
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: far back from my experience there and being pretty much

577
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: only medicinal. I mean we obviously people have their med

578
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: cars come in for recreational purposes, but the majority of

579
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: our patients actually came in for medical of course, which

580
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: is the real one. Which like when Blue started his dispensary.

581
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: He really wanted to help cancer patients. Of course he

582
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: was hustling, but then he got into this whole medical aspect. Granted,

583
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, he's started looking up a lot of people,

584
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: so that type of aspect, which I acknowledge and see

585
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: that you were doing that at the beginning of this

586
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: as well, with you, Jared as the CEO. That's how

587
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: you started this company, and that's why as well as

588
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: the passion that I love what you guys are doing there.

589
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't just opening up this dispensary, you know, cash grabbed.

590
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: I didn't feel that reading everything and seeing everything and

591
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: not the multi state operating yet because you're just a

592
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: big multi state money grab and just trying to do

593
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: your thing. So I really appreciate an acknowledge and see

594
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: what you guys are doing. That being said, so you're teaching.

595
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: Does this teaching go from you teaching the staff, are

00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: teaching the customers that come in? Are both? It's actually both. Yeah,

597
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: We've really primarily focused on educating our staff the best

598
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: that we can and with the products and UH and

599
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,479
Speaker 1: the science behind it, so we can also educate our

600
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: customers and our patients to um so does your staff

601
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,160

Speaker 1: something we are striving for. A lot of people don't

615
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: know this about me, but I rolled out an education

616
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: platform in twenty nine states for the cannabis industry. So

617
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: it's attention medical marijuana entrepreneurs. I interest make an extra

618
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: cast in Blo Medical Marillana Business. Hi. I'm Christopher Right.

619
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: I ran my commercials, I ran educational seminars and I

620
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: and I and I launched it in twenty nine states

621
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: and then during COVID, you know, completely got crushed because

622
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: we're doing live events and and and sometimes in four

623
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: states every week, you know, so like I'd be in Texas, California,

624
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: start the Florida. Yeah it's super spreader. It wasn't super spreader,

625
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, zam. But but we would have those events

626
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: and and we we did very very well. Um and

627
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: in fact, it was you know, part of my exiting

628
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: from the stores, right doing even but it's just part

629
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: of the cannabis industry that I'm saying. Is another what

630
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying is is you're educating right to me what

631
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: you know when you're been alive. There's so much more

632
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: education dealing with people direct, right than than through through

633
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: a video. Right. This is why I asked, because even

634
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: through some people are very good at video by the way,

635
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, so hypnotizing that it's just unrealistic,

636
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: which is a it's a it's a you know, talent

637
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: in its own But and then didn't standing in front

638
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: of people and teaching is also a talent. So I I,

639
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: you know, I want to see I want to see

640
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: your live. You know. It's funny I say, I like live,

641
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: but I also like the avenue of being able to

642
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,479
Speaker 1: watch on my own time. So maybe a live recording

643
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: of a class when people are asking questions that might

644
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: work good for me too, And it does. It does.

645
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: The order you get, the more it seems like because

646
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: you know, now the younger actually and still learning is

647
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: my point, you know what I mean that? But are

648
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: you learning though? Joe? Pushing and learning that two different things,

649
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: but it's still kind of comes out. So what's your

650
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: favorite part of the education? Um? You know that that

651
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: you have. Well, I've I've really been able to appreciate

672
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: they're learning. What I'm then kind of by reward words

673
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: to is actually the reward our staff has by helping

674
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,480

676
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: And you know it could be just as well. I

677
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: say easy, but I mean I don't know if you've gone,

678
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, a week without sleeping it and it sucks

679

681
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: but you know when they tell you like because of

682
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: what you gave me or the information you gave me,

683
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: or the confidence he gave me in taking this product,

684
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 1: I have now been able to sleep for the first

685
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: time ever. I mean even just that, I mean that's

686
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: on the anxiety right. Just hearing any of those stories

687
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: on god shots. At my point, I call those god

688
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,160

691
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,000

Speaker 1: like somebody that doesn't understand cannabis, doesn't unders down our industry.

694
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,280

00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: I was on a contract with with Budweiser, and so um, yeah,

766
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: I was looking around and uh, in need, and I

767
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: was like, maybe I should apply to a dispensary. And

768
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: I just kind of laughed at myself because I figured,

769
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, if I was going to work for a

770
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: place like that, I would have to know a lot

771
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: already about cannabis. But the beautiful part about it is

772
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: that I was able to go in knowing not a

773
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: whole lot, and they taught me everything I know. So

774
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: but but knowing a whole lot is funny to say

775
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: that about cannabis because a dispensary is also business, So

776
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: knowing a lot about business going into dispensary not knowing

777
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: cannabis is still a huge asset to the industry. Because

778
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 1: that's the problem a lot about this industry has had, Right,

779
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: It's so many cannabis knowledgeable folks about so much cannabis

780
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: when it really needs a lot of business folks who

781
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: knows business, who knows bud wise, who knows pharmaceuticals, who

782
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: knows grocery stores, who knows you those who's willing to

783
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: learn dress when the cannabis industry comes bigger, Right, Because

784
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: the cannabis industry is still growing and new, and the

785
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: laws are changing and Jared first hand seen and spending money. Listen,

786
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm in a lot of people don't know this,

787
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: but like I'm no um, you know whatever. I could

788
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: work on people's brains for a living right before I

789
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: came here. But when I decided to come to cannabis,

790
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: anyone holding in, I was gonna let him funk with

791
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: these three and like watching that, went oh boy, here

792
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna and I'm like wondering, in the team, maybe

793
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't know where he was a band or stopped

794
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: the freeway thing. What part of his story from going

795
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: to jail and doing that and selling dope was doing

796
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: story before he parted. I looked at the team, and

797
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 1: I've seen that look from Cal and Daniel. I couldn't

798
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: see Christians because the TV's blocking him. But other than that,

799
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: I was my goodness, we have to have fun on

800
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: the show. But it's funny, though, Teresa, because as you

801
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: say a statement like that, I don't ever want to

802
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,720
Speaker 1: hear that. Your up again, young lady, because golden talented.

803
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Because I said, these guys wouldn't hire somebody who wasn't

804
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: talented like that was my initial thoughts, of course, And

805
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, and now that you're in the industry. I'm

806
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 1: so curious for the last three years being in the

807
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: cannabis industry in the space they're consulting and doing so

808
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: much business, because I feel like, hearing you say that statement,

809
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 1: you weren't quote unquote obviously you're open because you went

810
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 1: and looked at it, but it was almost like a

811
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: job like this a is a verse. I heard you

812
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: say right now when you're describing looking at that, So

813
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: you're almost looking like that, like that that's that industry

814
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 1: quote unquote with the air fingers in the air, because

815
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: that's how many soccer Mommy's looking at that, normal people,

816
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: Christians name it picked the group, Muslims picked the group

817
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: where that cannabis industry then Druggias. You had this tone

818
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: when you mentioned how you went to go look at this,

819
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: and that tone was a outside of the industry vibe

820
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: that I felt didn't know. You said I didn't know

821
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: about the industry, so fair to assume that you weren't

822
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: really and you came into it, and I'm sure now

823
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 1: it's a whole different look at my point behind what

824
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm getting, Yeah, I mean I didn't smoke when when

825
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: I first started, I still don't smoke a ton I

826
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: I do some. Thank you, Mason, Um, thank you for

827
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: teaching me the ways. I mean, I don't think you

828
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: to No, no, exactly no. When I say there was

829
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: a separation for for me, I think I was looking

830
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: at all different kinds of jobs at that time, and

831
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: I feel like you had to have some base knowledge

832
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 1: and you also had to be super trendy and like

833
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,560

Speaker 1: Is your is your you know almost there? You almost

848
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: made it. I had I had to jump back into

849
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,399
Speaker 1: this because I really think like that's a huge freaking jump, dude,

850
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: from Budweiser to cannabis industry, right, I mean and then

851
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: on you know, but is it and when you think

852
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 1: about that? Right? But it depends when she was as

853
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: the alcohol company. I was an admin. I was like

854
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: for trade marketing. So and that's what you're doing here though, right,

855
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: you're doing I mean she does it, you know, it's

856
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: more of a title. Honestly, I've developed a role with

857
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: Arium for virtual bud tending, so that's mostly what I do.

858
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm on live chat, I'm on phones, I'm talking education

859
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,040

00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 1: is just coherent, right, so even like, hey, can we

898
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: just share with each other what our messaging is so

899
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: that we're trying to just acknowledge in the same industry

900
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: that we're all trying to push the right well messages.

901
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: And again, here's our school, here's your little learn in

902
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: different ways, you know what I mean. So so having

903
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,919
Speaker 1: the ability to have multiple, you know, ways for people

904
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: to learn is it crucial, especially in cannabis right now.

905
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: We we've got so much like little time to do

906
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: the work that we really need to do for this country,

907
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: for the world, you know, and it's happens so much

908
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 1: bigger that it's so much bigger than the fast food

909
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: that you know that we a lot of people look

910
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: at the you know, the outer picture and go, oh wow,

911
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: this is great and I'm like, no, I guess have

912
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: no idea, Like we're putting messages into people's minds to

913
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 1: learn about this plant because it's so crucial that our

914
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: our children's children don't have to fight over a plant

915
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: that actually helps people exist on this planet. Like you know,

916
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: it gives people, you know, a million dollars to veterans

917
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: and of better terminally ill or disabled with our compassion program.

918
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: Where does that come from? Mason? Did you start that?

919
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: Or have to tell Jared we need to do something

920
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: nice and stop spending all the money on hair product

921
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 1: and GISs to convinced him and said, you're right, Jared said,

922
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: Jared said, fucking I'm gonna cut down on the hair

923
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: product and I'm gonna go to this and you guys

924
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 1: have been doing it for how long? Here we go, Joe, Uh, yeah, Well,

925
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 1: we actually our vendor department, UM kind of started it

926
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: as as kind of just a small little hey what

927
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: if we like kind of did this thing? And um

928
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: I had already been running the consultation program that we built,

929
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: and we kind of talked and said, hey, why don't

930
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: we kind of combine these to kind of make it

931
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: all in one thing. And since we did that. We've

932
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: been able to make it a seamless system and trained

933
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: other people in it, and um been able to get

934
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: back to our community. Well, anything we can do for

935
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: that too, or yeah, we can do for that. We're

936
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: here for you as an outlet, as a facility, as

937
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: a drop off, whatever you need to do. We want

938
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: to help support things like that. Off top pushed together.

939
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: And how's thing four was tough to get politically because

940
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: we were being taxed on products we were giving away,

941
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: and so SP thirty four gave us an opportunity to

942
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 1: give away products and not have to pay an exorbitent

943
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: tax on topax. So I'm paying to give Imagine all

944
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: the brands that gave us free product to give away

945
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: to this is this is half a million dollars products everyone.

946
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: This is how the industry was built. And unfortunately all

947
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 1: the regulations that kind of pushed out the compassion. We

948
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: had to create a lot to bring compassion back to compassion.

949
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: And it's amazing that if this guy was giving going

950
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: away couldn't get busted for going to help people that

951
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: are dying to kids. I used to like, I used

952
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: to the same concept. It's crazy, it was it was

953
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: weird because I I'm first to say like I came

954
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: in swinging, ready for the money, right, Like that was

955
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: my first I was young. I was like, I'm on wed.

956
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: My dad's I was cannabis and my dad was more like, Yo,

957
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: this is about our friends and making sure we all

958
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: have cannabis and it's it's so hard to find sometimes

959
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: and just having a safe place for our people to have,

960
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, weed. And I'm like, okay, cool, and I'm like, Dad,

961
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell dude, Oh my god, you know what? Yeah,

962
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, what do you like you're doing? Everybody

963
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: would tell me I'm doing too much, right, And then

964
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: it got to a point but but but without your

965
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: dad's house from him, yeah, give me that, know. So,

966
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: So the thing is that you start to think, like

967
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: in your mind right, like that's the right thing. And

968
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: then you start realizing that you meeting people that are

969
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: really going through cancer, they really have you know, major issues.

970
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 1: And the one that hit me the most was the aids.

971
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, the guy comes in my my dispenser and

972
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: he's like, you know, um, I forgot my wallet and

973
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: he's trying to leave. I'm going like, you know, in

974
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 1: my securities like you gotta go. You know, he kind

975
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: of looks sick, you know what I mean. I happened

976
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,800
Speaker 1: to be there and I was hardly over there and

977
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: the guy's literally walking out the door, and I'm like, dude,

978
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 1: why are you kicking this guy out? Like securities like

979
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: you gotta go. You don't have your money, it's time

980
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: to go, bro, And I'm looking at him like, dude,

981
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: that guy kind of does look sick, but he also

982
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,040
Speaker 1: looks like he could be on drugs, you know it,

983
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: And so, like, you know, it was kind of like

984
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: playing that role. And then I walked out the back

985
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hey, bro, like, you know what do

986
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,399
Speaker 1: you mean you you forgot your wall and you're sick?

987
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: Because he mentioned like I'm not feeling well in this

988
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: to this and I was like, oh no. He's like,

989
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: no't worry about it. I'll go get my wall. I'll

990
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: be right back. And I'm like, no, but I'm asking you,

991
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 1: and he's like, yeah, I don't worry about it, I'll

992
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: be And I'm like, I'm asking you because I want

993
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: to donate cannabis to you, right, And I literally said

994
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: that to him. He's like he's like don't worry about it.

995
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: And he's like, and I'm like, bro, please, like let

996
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: me talk to you for a second. He's like, okay,

997
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: I got AIDS. And I was like speechless, just like okay,

998
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,799
Speaker 1: let's walk back to the store. And he's like, no, man,

999
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't need no handouts. I'm like, dude, these people

1000
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: are so strong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's amazing how many

1001
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: people come to the dispensary also enter that vulnerable and

1002
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: willing to say, hey, this is my life and you're

1003
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 1: just if you know, something like that that believes that

1004
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: you gotta look at them and just for them and

1005
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,080
Speaker 1: say shame on you because you don't really that. But

1006
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: that changed me forever. That changed my mindset forever, like

1007
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, towards the whole like yeah, this is about money,

1008
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 1: but because it was for me when at a young

1009
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: aid's like I'll be the first to say like, oh,

1010
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: I was like just all about money, just trying to

1011
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,839
Speaker 1: make money on Then then it changed me though, when

1012
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: when when I dealt with you know, Martin, that guy

1013
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: with his name was Martin and um, and that's when

1014
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: I started getting involved in really helping people and giving

1015
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 1: away from cannabis and and going to his he took

1016
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: me to those AIDS clinic. I ended up meeting everybody

1017
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 1: there and gave everybody free weed. And then I'm like,

1018
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: sign up for this and I'm gonna give you guys

1019
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 1: all free me and I just started giving away all

1020
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: this cannabis. Then I was like, holy sh it, like

1021
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm losing money too at But yeah, there was, yeah,

1022
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 1: but there was. But what I'm saying that that that

1023
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: led into, you know, the compassion side that I understand

1024
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: that you're you know that you're living well, that compassion

1025
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: side that the higher path is taking that so many

1026
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: others are are taking out there. And Jared, like you said,

1027
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: there's so many brands that are out there doing what

1028
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: you guys are doing as well. You were getting the

1029
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: recognition right now for that, but I I just want

1030
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: to even give you the opportunity right now to acknowledge

1031
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 1: if you with those brands that stick out in your

1032
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 1: head that have given because when I hear that, I go,

1033
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: that's dope. Absolutely. We have so many incredible sponsors. One

1034
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: of the best is Friendly Farms. UM. We actually had

1035
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 1: a personal rep from that company drive out to a

1036
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:18,360
Speaker 1: patient's house specifically to give him RSO for his prostate cancer,

1037
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: which is the only thing that's been helping him. Fantastic

1038
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: Care by Design and Cannon Craft have been huge supporters

1039
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: UM as so many, but like Bloom, we actually have

1040
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: had probably around sixty different brands donate products to our compassion.

1041
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you with a couple of pounds right now.

1042
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: He was like, funny, because like stories like this, I

1048
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: want to connect to you guys with like the Beard Bros.

1049
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,319

1050
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: friends of ours that we're all doing and pushing this

1051
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: same thing, right, And I love those guys because we're

1052
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,360
Speaker 1: all about when I say something like this, who's not

1053
00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: gonna feel the same way we are. You guys are

1054
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,320
Speaker 1: doing it for that reason. We're out here pushing it

1055
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: as a platform the run. They all feel the same

1056
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: way too, And I feel like that's the type of

1057
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: read sometimes and people need to see because that read

1058
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: needs to get to that soccer mom who thinks it's

1059
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 1: steal taboo. I mean that really needs to get to

1060
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 1: the dad, the principle or whoever, the congressman, that every

1061
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: person who's oh, you know what I mean. So those

1062
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: people need to hear how it's still and the way

1063
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: I look at it. It's funny because Jared and I

1064
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 1: were talking earlier, I too look at it strictly as medicine,

1065
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,240
Speaker 1: like I look at cannabis. I take it as medicine.

1066
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: I don't sit there and smoke joints or blunts are

1067
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 1: bungloads are dogs at all. I use it as medicines.

1068
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: I use oils, rubs, tinksters right now for pat Like

1069
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: in the last let me let me just say this Joe,

1070
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 1: just to kind of verify what Joe saying. I haven't

1071
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,359
Speaker 1: seen Joe smoke in my entire life until last thirty days,

1072
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: because he's been and it's not don't coach smoking flower.

1073
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm saying I haven't seen him take

1074
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: any drug in my entire life, and that's been because

1075
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: I have surgery and because I'm under other medications. Right now,

1076
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm choosing to go off of those medications and do

1077
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: minimal medications to be one hundred. I'm on oracles right

1078
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 1: now and using cannabis to help with my pain. Where

1079
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, for those who listen to no, I've been

1080
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: struggling with not struggling, but my whole emotional personal side

1081
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:33,320
Speaker 1: is like I'm sober, so I don't do it. So

1082
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 1: my point is I look at it as I'm using medicine.

1083
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: And that's what I think a lot of people really

1084
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: need to understand that it is well, even even the

1085
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: way we medicate too if even if we smoke it

1086
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 1: and nothing, and like you said, sometimes there's an abuse

1087
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: to that, but I feel like even if we're smoking

1088
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,760
Speaker 1: it or dabbing it, that's still absolutely medicinal. And don't

1089
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: get me wrong, don't get what I'm saying. For those

1090
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't I said, I don't you know what I'm saying.

1091
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm not judging anybody who does. And I'm not comparing

1092
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: myself to anybody. Hear walks yours mind's mind, and I'm

1093
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 1: sure my reasons and why my walk is my walk,

1094
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: but I'm not judging. I hang about Mark, well, everybody

1095
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: hang around dabbing in my car were in the car.

1096
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, my point you do that, you know

1097
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: of my point by run. So when I'm afraid of dabbing,

1098
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: I don't dab. Don't don't put a dab in front

1099
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 1: of me. Dog. She did her first. You're like, you're

00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: places as well, so he would just give him the

1155
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: most knowledge. And I would love to hear Cash go

1156
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: through it and then come on and talk about right

1157
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: taking the clubhouse. Basically we like the legions like where

1158
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean of the legions like that, you

1159
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: should make it the private club. No, it's training for

1160
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: the internal staff and for people that come in that

1161
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: want to get education on the products. It's from what

1162
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: I understand what you do. Yeah, and and eventually when

1163
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: it's open to the public, it won't be probably that space,

1164
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: it will be our event space that we have also

1165
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: charge them um for education. Now for our staff it's

1166
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: almost a certification to go through the program, so that

1167
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: way they they're up to part. So it's not open

1190
00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: you the first time you spoke cannabis? And where'd you

1191
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: get it from? Jared Oh, I was thirteen, and we

1192
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: had taken a school trip to Washington, d C. And

1193
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: we were in the Smithsonian. We met this troop of

1194
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: girl Scouts who were also like there for a school trip,

1195
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: and we were in two hotels that were next to

1196
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: each other, right on the other side of the so

1197
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: I think the Washington Bridge. And so they invited us

1198
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 1: over for a party, the girl Scouts, and they said

1199
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: that they said, we're all on in the hotel room.

1200
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: The furthest away from our dead mother. And so they

1201
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,000
Speaker 1: all were going in the closet and I think, I'm

1202
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 1: thinking we're kissing. I'm thinking, so we go in the closets.

1203
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 1: Girl sparks this little bowl and I'm like, holy. So

1204
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: so my first time was in the closet and in

1205
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: Washington was the girl scout. Wow, that's a great story.

1206
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: I got pulled in a couple of closets of my

1207
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: chicks too, and it was scary, like when you're young

1208
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: and like, come on, You're like what like in the

1209
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 1: closets closes a lot of people in a lot of

1210
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: weird things. I don't know if we want to go

1211
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: closet stories, but let's just go to number two, number

1212
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: one to keep it moving. Before I started amazing, um,

1213
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 1: mine was actually I was always a musician singer, so

1214
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: I stopped. I tried not to smoke, but until I

1215
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 1: was about nineteen. I came back from college and my

1216
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: parents were hanging out with friends of theirs, and I

1217
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: had no idea, but um they interrupted my story or

1218
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 1: whatever I was talking about, and they were like, do

1219
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: you want to smoke this ball with us? The parents

1220
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:21,000
Speaker 1: did both my my my mom actually specifically, how old

1221
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: are you. It was nineteen Topeka and I was like, uh,

1222
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: that was my first time. My dad was like, ship

1223
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: got off the couch, came on the back. Didn't know.

1224
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,240
Speaker 1: It's like, well, I'm gonna take a hit of it too.

1225
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit it. And then my folks were like, well, yeah,

1226
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: we've actually been smoking every day of your life. You

1227
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: just never knew it. And you know, it sounds like

1228
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: a bad parent thing, but I don't know that. I

1229
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: don't know. They were great, man, great, isn't it amazing?

1230
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: It's just that the statement once again at you made

1231
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: it seems like that's whole fucking funny mental stigma that

1232
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,920
Speaker 1: we got to get over. That's the whole stigma that

1233
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 1: when I sit there, I go, no, I don't think.

1234
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: I think of my boys, the two dudes, Rick and

1235
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Ralph Goman is growing up as kids. Their parents should

1236
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: way out in right field, and I talked about playing

1237
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: since t ball all the way to high school with

1238
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: their parents always out in right field. Why because they smoke.

1239
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: But they were at their kids gay, at every freaky

1240
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: rich because all their names started with an orongergy mom

1241
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: and dad on there it's a kid. I was six

1242
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: years old playing my boy Ralph and Ricky was the

1243
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: older one. Ralph was a younger one played bassball since

1244
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: and their parents always sat in right field and smoked

1245
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 1: weird same loved them nicest folks, always the coolest and

1246
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: even till this day, even as a kid, never a

1247
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,919
Speaker 1: taboo of oh the road, road road as a mom

1248
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: and Randy was the Randy Road. It was never like

1249
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: and even I don't ever remember my parents ever saying, oh,

1250
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: then the gold made a smokers. Nobody ever did that. Yeah,

1251
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: but if if if Papa Dick was back there drinking

01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: the Bay Area? Oh yeah, that's sa Miss San Francisco several. Yeah, yeah,

1364
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: I've been to several Clinton shows. That's why I was

1365
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,080
Speaker 1: always jealous. Like, man, I've been sure that green room

1366
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: is amazing. I never green room there, but I smoked

1367
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 1: at his show, but never with him. So that's a

1368
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: good one. He's like, he's one of those legendaries, like

1369
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, just I agree, that's a nice one. Mason.

1370
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: What about you? Uh John Lennon, John Lennon singer. It's

1371
01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: a little little cliche, I would say, But man, why

1372
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,439
Speaker 1: what what is it about Lennon that you I would say, Actually,

1373
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: he's the one who kind of inspired my curiosity just

1374
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: in this whole culture when I was a kid listening

1375
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: to the Beatles and hearing his spirituality and how they

1376
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: all looked at the world and their open mindedness and psychedelics, man,

1377
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,559
Speaker 1: like the whole thing. I was just so captured by that. Well,

1378
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,880
Speaker 1: you pick such a guy from a big band like that.

1379
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: And you said earlier that you were an artist musician.

1380
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 1: Did you play instruments with sing or what did you do? Yeah?

1381
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,600
Speaker 1: I grew up playing guitar and singing, and uh, I

1382
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: kind of I play a variety different instruments now, but yeah,

1383
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: I do the guitar harmonica combo. That was the markis

1384
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 1: had that very the thing that she grabs if it's real.

1385
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: He's been in front of the goal. Check him out now,

1386
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: right in front of the higher path. He's gonna light

1387
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,720
Speaker 1: up a joint to see if it's real instead of

1388
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: bite the wooden nickels. I like that. What about you, Theresa?

1389
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Who would it be? Oh, it's kind of a toss up.

1390
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: I usually say William Shakespeare in these situations. But I

1391
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 1: love Shirley McClain the actress. She was spiritual before it

1392
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: was cool, and I feel like I know it. But yeah,

1393
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: she's been around forever. I mean I would have to

1394
01:10:21,280 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, I have to kind of think about it.

1395

Speaker 1: I've just i've seen her face, so the name, I

1396

1404
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: her about it, and I just think I'm sure she
