You could definitely see the cannabis talk 67 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: one on one bus out there um. And you know, 68 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: for me, I think that m J Biscon is one 69 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: of those things that you know, if you're a new 70 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: company and you're looking to drum up business, and sometimes 71 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: it's very difficult for people to put together the fifteen 72 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: or twenty grand that it takes to actually show up 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: to one of these shows. But it's super important that 74 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: you show up. And and the reason I say that 75 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: is because if you don't go, you don't have the 76 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: opportunity to strum up real business. You don't grow. Yeah. 77 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: It's so it's a great cliche. You don't go, you 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: don't grow. Yeah, it's true. And so when I when 79 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: I think about like m J Biscom and I think 80 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: about you know, trade shows. It's where you go to 81 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: meet other people in the industry one and two where 82 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: those buyers will show to buy your product, whether it's 83 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: a trimming company, a CBD company, a THC company, a 84 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 1: T shirt company, uh, you know, a poster company, for 85 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: God's sakes, And and and the reason I say that 86 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: is because a lot of these people they go, well, 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: I can't afford to go, and I go, you can't 88 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: afford not to go, like I I truly mean that, like, 89 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,119 Speaker 1: you can't afford not to go to these events. Because 90 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: if you can't strum up the ten ground worth of 91 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: business while you're at one of these events, when there's 92 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: twenty thousand people there that are all in the same 93 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: industry and they're walking by your booth and they're conversating 94 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: with you, then you have the wrong product maybe or 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: maybe you just don't have the right sales team, or 96 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: maybe you haven't tried hard enough. But if you don't 97 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: go to these events, guys, you don't grow. And I'm 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: sincere about going to m J Bisconic guys. I think 99 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: it's a huge opper tunity and that's who's making ways 100 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: and check all this out and more on cannabis talk 101 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: one on one.

Now, there's a 150 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: lot of excuses you can make, but sincerely, I think 151 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: it's worth going well, even if you're kind of curious, right. 152 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: I remember the first MJ bizcon I went to. I 153 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: was in awe with the manufacturing side of things that 154 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: I've seen at this place, meaning the big huge metal 155 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: abstraction pieces. I'm like, Wow, this is a fucking big 156 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: booth and you guys use this big stuff to make 157 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: this thing and you have it here. Wow, and it's 158 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: all set up well the security guys. So you know, 159 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: My point is you don't get to see these type 160 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: of things. When you just walk into a dispensary. You 161 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: see the finished result product, you don't see how it 162 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: gets done. So when you go to these type of 163 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: places you could actually see how it's manufacturing. Again. I mean, listen, 164 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: I I've seen security trucks. They're like, you know, full 165 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: on armorold trucks that that will transport cannabis across the 166 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: the state for you.

Which you can find 225 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: on the Nasdaq as CSC semi colon ce U r 226 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: A in April and a three million dollar cash and 227 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 1: stock deal to straighten its footprints in Europe while holding 228 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: its E M M A C investments. The Massachusetts based 229 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: company created cure Leaf International Holdings Limited on the island 230 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: of g u e r n s e y how 231 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: would you pronounce you? G u e r n s 232 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: e y Guernsey, Guernsey and the Island of Guernsey. Cure 233 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: Leaf International initial shipment to Israel included two strains of 234 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: dried flower. Now cure Leaf International is one of the 235 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: first companies to export to the Middle Eastern country under 236 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: the new regulatory regime. I love this story because you're 237 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: getting over a ton of medical cannabis in a spot 238 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: like Israel, where they've already pushed the anvil ope with 239 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: research already doing big things. Now. Granted, this is um 240 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: pure Leaf International, so it's not the cure leaf so 241 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: to speak, that's right here in Massachusetts and the States, 242 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: but it's part of the company. The big parent company 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: is still overseeing this. I love the fact that we're 244 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: getting some you know, American based company spending and doing 245 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: the right things, and getting these pharmaceutical companies involved, because, 246 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: as we mentioned in a previous podcast, the th c 247 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: O and this and that and these pills and those 248 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: pills and everything else. In my opinion, it's gonna come 249 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,359 Speaker 1: down to in the future as we look at cannabis 250 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: will always have those guys who want to smoke a 251 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: joint in a blunt, in a bongload. Don't get me wrong, 252 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: I'll always be there. But when cannabis explodes and takes 253 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: it to the fucking next level, it's gonna be the 254 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: medically induced cannabis that you're getting from the pharmaceutical, from 255 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: Costco's pharmacy, from CVS, from this and that, and you're 256 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: getting it in a pill form. And as I just 257 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: had to take a call from my doctor, I can't 258 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: wait for her to say, Joe, to get your BSL down. 259 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a new uh you know, blah 260 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: blah blah from purely for whatever is in the name 261 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: of the company is of a pill that's gonna be 262 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: cannabis infused to help with my BSL. This is literally 263 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: a true story. I literally had a call for my 264 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: doctor and I don't have to deal with that, and 265 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: my blood sugar levels high, and she she gave me 266 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: a new pill. Well, um, it hit over three hundred 267 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: and then I had to take She gave me another 268 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: little pillgram so I took that and she increased my 269 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: other one to give me the max level of that 270 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: which is then dropped it back down to the two hundred. 271 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: So good sign there, But I need to go see 272 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: an indo chronologist, which is a specialist on my body 273 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: to see how it reacts chronologists, it sounds like your 274 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: indocannabinoid system sounds like cannabis. Well yet, so my point 275 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,239 Speaker 1: is I cannot wait. As I used my own personal 276 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: experience that cancer doctor and chnologist, so that well they 277 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: used that as a cancer doctor as well. Because the 278 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: body is not react. Your body is not reacting right like, 279 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: so my kidneys aren't reacting and making penicillin. My body 280 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: is enhanced, my parents when they die at a young age. 281 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: And for me calling the doctors just to express some 282 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: sincere deep psychological issues that I'm going through right now 283 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: as as I'm forty nine and my mom died at 284 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: fifty two from diabetes complications, and ironically my blood sugar 285 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: level of spiking up over I'm going, Oh my god, 286 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: am I gonna die?

Well, Craig, 368 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: since you're the old guy and I just went with 369 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: my great story from Cure Leaf, I have another good 370 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: one with Tilray that I want to really talk about. 371 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: But maybe I'll say this story. Well, you know it's 372 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: even more interesting, Joe, is that you know all these 373 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: companies are starting starting to go public, right, Yeah, I 374 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: think it's great, right, But what we don't hear about 375 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: is the fifteen companies, the top fifteen cannabis startups that 376 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: withoutgoing public have raised three billion dollars with a B 377 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: with a B. Here's how I'm gonna go through them 378 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: real quick. There's a lot of reasons why people don't 379 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: want to go public. They can make their own decisions, 380 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 1: they have more Uh, the management team's freedom to make decisions. 381 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things they can do when they 382 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: remain private and they're able to go with equity funds UH, 383 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,919 Speaker 1: private held equity funds UM is what these companies are 384 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: starting to do. So here's just an example. Packs Lab 385 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: Packs p a X Labs five hundred forty one million dollars, 386 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 1: Parallel three fifty five million, Leaflank three hundred thirty nine million, 387 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: Duchy two hundred fifty three million, Privateier Holdings two hundred 388 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: twenty eight million, farmer Can two hundred six these companies 389 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: and I hate the million dollars ease. Okay, so that's 390 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: Bay Area. Can you tell us where these are located? 391 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: Or is that you know, I'm just reading off a list, 392 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 1: because it's really interesting at how these companies across the 393 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: border raised you know, between anywhere from fifty eight million 394 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: to five hundred million across these fifteen companies and it 395 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: comes back to about three billion in private equity. So 396 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: these companies don't have to raise money by going public. 397 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: You know, when you think about it, sometimes it's a 398 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: bigger good play. Actually it's it's in my opinion, well funk, 399 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: I don't really know enough to say my I'm about 400 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: to say it's gonna be a great big play because 401 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: if you go up, I mean, what will happen. What 402 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: happens is they're gonna get that other thing. Yeah, so 403 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: if you get big money and you get more money, 404 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: let's just face, what's gonna happen is they're they're gonna 405 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: be able to basically steer their own ship until they 406 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: actually want to go public and then have a higher valuation. 407 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 1: And once they go public, it could be you know, 408 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: this is three billion between all of them. It could 409 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: be three billion for one of these companies. Oh hands 410 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: market cappaval evaluations and stuff like that. We're with looking 411 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: at that research that you just read on some of 412 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: these companies. A few of them I've heard of without 413 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: a doubt. But are those mostly California based companies? No clue, 414 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: I doubt it. No. You know, some of these are Berlin. 415 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: Let's see, this is Berlin based. One of these is 416 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: let's see California. Some of these are multi state operators 417 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: where they have places in Colorado, California, Minnesota, Maryland, West Virginia. 418 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: UM let's see, you've got a couple that are straight 419 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: out of California. UM, let's see Holistic Industries, which got 420 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty six million is out of district of Columbia. Uh, 421 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: let's see. We have a couple other ones that farmer 422 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: can is in six U. S. States. Doesn't say I 423 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: I didn't go deeper look where their corporate offices are, 424 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: but uh, I would think most of these a multi stage. 425 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: Did you see that big story about Ease as eases 426 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: on this list? Did you catch the new story that 427 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: just broke, which one I hate? I brought this up 428 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: and now I'm gonna get into it and read it. 429 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: Damn it. I shouldn't have brought up because now I 430 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 1: gotta find it real quick and jump into it and 431 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: find the story. But it's worthy of doing it because 432 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: it's so big, and you just brought this up, and 433 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: Ease did something real big. So did Kevin Garnett that 434 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna bring up yet. Either I'll do it 435 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: or not. I have that story on Kevin Garnett right now, 436 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: do you have? But that's the one was one where 437 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: he teams up with weed maps marijuants. Isn't that so great? 438 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: There's so many good things there that that are just amazing. 439 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's It's about time. My brother and I 440 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 1: have been trying to destigmatize. Granted, I'm not as famous 441 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: as a kid as a kJ uh or as a 442 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Um actually was Kevin Durant. Is that what 443 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: you said? It is Katie, I said, Kadi's k it's Kevin. 444 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: You know what, doing your story? You wanna hear a 445 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: cool story about Kevin Durant. Would love to craig a 446 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. It might have been even longer 447 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: than that. My kids had their store shop in Newport 448 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 1: Beach at the time, so its god, we're looking at 449 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: probably ten years ago at least. And uh So there 450 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: we were hanging out at the store and they get 451 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: a call from one of their buddies. K d was 452 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: in town and uh he was doing some uh sea 453 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 1: doing out down in Newport Beach and he needed he 454 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: needed to get some ship. So my kid was gonna 455 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: meet him down there and bring a little care package. 456 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: And unfortunately it never materialized, but they were that close 457 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: to meeting them to give them a little under the 458 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: uh because my kid was known for his uh uh 459 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: you know, very low key with the you know uh 460 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: artists and and people like that. That were famous that 461 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 1: he didn't you know, he kept his mouth shut on 462 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: who he who he uh hooked up with in gifts 463 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: and who I guess and I guess in this day 464 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 1: and age, you say who he fucked with? Who he 465 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: fucked with? Our our if you're old and lurves listening 466 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: to us, who he dealed drugs too? Do you old 467 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: term with who you funk with? And the old term 468 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: is who you deal drugs too? You know what's interesting 469 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: in reading the article that I found, John, I don't 470 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: know I about you, but Michelle Roberts, the head of 471 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: the National NBA Players Association, also joined the board of 472 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: a major cannabis company, Cresco Labs, last year. So she's 473 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: saying that she's predicting that the NBA is gonna make 474 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: it full on legal or these players. What they're gonna 475 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: do is hopefully everything formally change the policy that they've 476 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: already put into place of no testing for cannabis and 477 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: make it an indefinite policy, not just a uh current 478 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: one like right now it's temporary. Right And as you mentioned, Ease, 479 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: and I said I'd find the story Ease cannabis delivery. 480 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: They acquired Green Dragon creating the nation's largest MSO delivery operation, 481 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: e's the country's largest cannabis delivery marketplace, and multi state 482 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: retail operator are Green Dragon. So that's the key thing too. 483 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: As you mentioned these other factors of these companies, Craig Washerman, 484 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 1: is that they're multi state operators. So Green Dragon falls 485 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: into that because once you become multi state operator, now 486 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,360 Speaker 1: you're really able to pull on that revenue. So green 487 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: you know what's getting ease. They're they're really able to 488 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: do that. Go ahead and say something. Well, what's interesting 489 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: on this list is leaf Link, which is which was 490 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: three hundred thirty nine million dollar raise they left.
