Well, 77 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, people still say cannabis is legal, and as 78 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: we know, it is not legal. It is not fully 79 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: legal by any means. I'm sure people have heard about 80 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: out here in San Diego County, San Bernardino County in California. UH, 81 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: they've had this thing called Operation hammer Strike, and there's 82 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: about god almost a dozen cities in the High Desert. 83 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: We've got loose Certain Valley, twenty nine Palms, Joshua Tree, Lander's, 84 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: Johnson Valley, Rancho Coca, among the Newberry Springs, Running Springs, Colton, Hispiria, Victorville, 85 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: Phalan and l Maurrage. Sheriff's Deputies of San Bernardino County 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: and the Sheriff's Department Marijuana Enforcement Team served twenty two 87 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: search warrants. They shut down fifty six greenhouses. They literally 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: shut them down and eradicated him in the words they used. 89 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: They also arrested thirty three suspects. Investigators seats fourteen thousand, 90 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: a hundred thirteen cannabis plants, four thousand pounds of process marijuana, 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: eight guns, nine thousand, five hundring grams of concentrated cannabis, 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: and over three hundred and fifty thousand in cash. They 93 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: closed down all of these. The investigators say they actually 94 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: also mitigated an electrical bypass, a marijuani delivery service and 95 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: extraction lab. The UH, all black mark. This is all 96 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: illegal processing, all illegal all those and all those spots 97 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: were illegal. So they're really I mean, this might be 98 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they've already started this, but there was a 99 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: lawsuit not that long ago against the Department of Cannabis Control, 100 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 1: suing them saying, you're not doing enough for the legal operators, 101 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: You're not cut cracking down enough on the illicit market. 102 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: You're you're killing us, you're not letting us flourish. Yet 103 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: we're still competing with the illicit market, and there was 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: a lawsuit over it. I'm not sure the status of 105 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: it or if they ramped up these uh investigations in 106 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: order to respond to the complaint that they're not doing enough. 107 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: But they are doing I mean, they're really cracking down. 108 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: And it's interesting though that he is a little bit 109 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: of when mayor when when cannabis goes bad. The suspects 110 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: were cited are booked on charges of cultivation of cannabis 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: over six plants. That's a misdemeanor, possession for sale, misdemeanor, 112 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: illegal water discharged, felony manufacturing the controlled substance, felony, attempted murder, 113 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: and conspiracy attempted murder. This article doesn't indicate why that 114 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: charge came from, but they did find guns. They might 115 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: have found a gun that was tied to some card 116 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: of a crime. Who knows. But if you're out there 117 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: and you're not doing it legally, it's time is coming. 118 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 1: Enforcement is ramping up, and uh it's just a matter 119 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: of time before they start shutting down more and more 120 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: and more. Um, it's still not a dent in the 121 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: illicit market. If he asked me, Um, it's huge. California 122 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: is so big. The black market is still ten times 123 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: the amount of the legal market in terms of sales. 124 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: And uh so, yeah, it's it's still going on out there, 125 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: and people are still getting busted left and right, and 126 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: they're facing serious charges. And it's so much money that 127 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: somebody put up for a whole a bunch of illegal 128 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: actions there. I mean, to have all that millions of 129 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: dollars and all that. I mean. You know what's sad too, 130 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: is I'm looking at this picture here in this article 131 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: and it shows this just beautiful greenhouse with beautiful plants, 132 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: and they had to eradicate them. They had to get 133 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: rid of them. Now. Unfortunately, unlike you know, we used 134 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: to have these arguments Joe about testing, right, and that 135 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: I've been testing, you know, I've been smoking for forty 136 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: something years and never had an issue with testing. I 137 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: never had an issue with cannabis or with what it's 138 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: grown with. And I think back in the day, other 139 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: than maybe a few bad players, everybody was pretty on 140 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: the up and up and used didn't use any bad substances. Nowadays, 141 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: these guys are using ship and crap and pesticides that 142 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: normally will not be passed through on the legal side. 143 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: And with the proliferation of that proliferation of things such 144 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: as you know, tainted UH cannabis or fenton All laced 145 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: cannabis if in fact it's actually I don't know how 146 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: you lace it with fenton Al. But I did hear 147 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: a story which we can talk about next time, but 148 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: they had the laced fentan All story was a guy 149 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: went into the hospital with a fenton Al overdose and 150 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: he happened to be happen to have cannabis in a system, 151 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: so therefore they assumed it was cannabis lace sent, which 152 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: we're not so sure it was the way that the 153 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: story laid out. So, but but when you do go 154 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: to the licensed legal stores, you're gonna get that protection 155 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: from all those types of pesticides and bad things.

Can you help me? Do you do anything more? 188 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: Like is there anything that you do as the person 189 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: or you just go straight into lawyer mode and let 190 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: me help you defend this and see how less of 191 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: a thing I can get for you, or is there 192 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: anything like what the funk were you thinking? Dog? You 193 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: did all that? You spent all these millions of dollars, 194 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: like like, oh the world, dad, you know what, you 195 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: don't judge. We don't don't balance that, we don't we 196 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: don't judge. I mean you know, no, you don't. And 197 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: and it's hard because someone comes in and gets hit 198 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: with charges. It's too late to what the funk are 199 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: you doing? When people come in and tell us are 200 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: doing something like, we tell them you should not be 201 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: doing that, stop, shut down, And as an attorney, that's 202 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: our obligation is to tell you that you're committing crimes 203 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be doing that. Don't do it. And 204 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: that's if they get to us before. If they get 205 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:06,079 Speaker 1: to us afterwards, it's Hey, it's like the defense attorneys 206 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: who represent murderers and rapists. I mean, I personally wouldn't 207 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: go that far. I just I don't think I can 208 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: handle it personally. But there's those who stick to the 209 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: The mantra is we you don't ask them if they're guilty. 210 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Did you shut the funk up? Did the cops have 211 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: probable cause? Did the cops procedure correct? Because if it's 212 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 1: not correct, then we possibly can get you off on 213 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: something under procedural rules, under unreasonable search and seizure, or 214 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: the warrant wasn't specific enough for or there wasn't factual 215 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: enough for the warrant to be based on. Um. We 216 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 1: attack things that way, and that's to protect everybody, not 217 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: just the guy who came in who may or may 218 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: not be guilty, but that protects everybody's rights by making 219 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: sure law enforcement doesn't correctly.

And I did a whole 232 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: bunch of research and was able to come up with 233 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: an opinion letter that they put in all their wholesale 234 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: packaging UH so that big box stores or chain stores 235 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: can read this and say, okay, it's UH.

But Illinois, dude, look 258 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: at this number right here. And when we hear these numbers, 259 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: this is what really pisses the opperty to truth because 260 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: numbers don't lie, you know, I mean, all this anecdotal 261 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: evidence that we talked about, it's not as real is 262 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: we like to think it is. Numbers don't live. And 263 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: here's some numbers for you guys. That's going green. And 264 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: it's crazy. Illinois benefits more from cannabis than alcohol. The 265 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: marijuana tax outpaced liquor by almost a hundred million dollars 266 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: in now over the past year, eleanor took Illinois took 267 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: more tax dollars from cannabis receipts than alcohol, according to 268 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: the Marijuana Moment reports. In one recreational cannabis taxes in 269 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: the Prairie state exceeded liquors by more than a hundred million. 270 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: This is crazy, you guys for the first time in 271 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: February and kept that pace up the whole year. This 272 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: is amazing to me to think of what's going on 273 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: out there. You know, Illinois legalized the sale of cannabis 274 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: and two thousand and fifteen and expanded legalization of the 275 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: recreational market the general public beginning in so this is 276 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: a year in on the whole expanding legalization to really 277 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: beat it, though by that is just baffling to me, Craig. 278 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean, since then, cannabis sales in Illinois sword smashing 279 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: records practically every month, with recreational cannabis sales officially exceeding 280 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: one billion dollars in one. Last month, November was the 281 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: ninth consecutive month that recreational cannabis sales surpassed a hundred 282 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: million in the state, and the state despite the two 283 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: point one decline from October and five point six percent 284 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: from all from the all time high of a hundred 285 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: and twenty eight million in July. Fourth of July, boy, 286 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: they were high as a kite out there doing it 287 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: real big. The state sold roughly six hundred seventy million 288 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: in cannabis and twenty and took in two hundred five 289 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: point four million in tax revenue according to the Marijuana Moments. 290 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: The state data shows that from January to November, and 291 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: Illinois made about three eighty seven million in cannabis tax 292 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: dollars compared to two d million from liquor sales. When 293 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: other states and everybody sees this, Craig. I know we've 294 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: said this before. They are for the week, not only 295 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: how thirsty it is, you haven't brother. Um, it's just 296 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: baffling to me that other states won't see this, Kansas, 297 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Look at this Nebraska and say, 298 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: what are we doing? Texas? What are you guys waiting for? 299 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: Montana just went online? Yeah, I mean, don't get me wrong, 300 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: They're coming around, right, I mean, and then we look 301 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: at what Colorado was doing all this other stuff. But 302 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: I just get upset because these numbers, Craig, they don't lie. 303 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: You can lift these up. This is what people are paying. 304 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: It's not a matter of um, it's like you're gonna 305 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: get out, um, a matter of like, oh, I wonder 306 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: how well it's doing. I wonder this. I wonder that 307 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: it's like, no, it's doing this. And look what the 308 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: states doing. These are facts, this is what's killing it. 309 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: And at what point and what level does the rest 310 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: of the country go. I think our politicians are dumb, 311 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: deaf and blind at the federal level. They got their 312 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: head in the sand. And uh, you know it's interesting 313 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: you bring that up because I was discussing with someone 314 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: the other day, how there's a Republican senator who's bringing 315 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: forth a legalization bill at the federal level that's actually 316 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: better than any Democratic one that I've seen. Really, instead 317 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: of instead of attended exercise tax, it's a three percent 318 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: tax locked in for ten years. It's less governmental regulation. 319 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: Let the states decide. The only downside is they don't 320 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 1: have any social ethics compared in it, which really sucks. 321 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: But like everything else in this space, we've had to 322 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: take baby steps. So what do they say that you 323 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: throw out the baby with the dishwater or one of 324 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: the what's that? What's that statement? Go? So, if we 325 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: can get the federal legalization to come in, no federal regulations, 326 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: all state regulations of three percent as opposed to a 327 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: ten percent sliding scale up at the Democrats one, I mean, 328 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't we want to go with the one that has 329 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: the lower, less regulations and lower taxes. It would be 330 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: the smart thing. And for me, I don't care if 331 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: it's Republican Democrat. I don't either. If Hey, you come 332 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 1: up with a better idea, I'm all for it. Yeah, 333 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: let's do it. And it's not and it's not even 334 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: a matter of like, oh, we need to do this 335 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: for this party of that? Well how about happy? Well know, 336 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: how about this? We're not going to support it because 337 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: they don't have social equity in it. That part I 338 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: have happen in there right now to get everything at once, 339 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: and as you get older, like me, you learn you 340 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: necessarily can't get everything at once. And you know when 341 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: I hear that, Bill Craig, just take me back to 342 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: the minority getting fucked again. You're right, You're right. So 343 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: so do you hold off and not pass anything which 344 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: would include Now I'm not even sure if if that 345 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: one included expudgements or not. Um, it may may not have, 346 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: but it didn't include the social equity component. Um. That 347 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: really isn't working out well in any city that has 348 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: social equity programs for the disproportionally impacted minorities. Uh, in 349 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: the cannabis space and all of the social equity programs 350 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: that I've seen, it really sucked difficult. I was saying, 351 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: how difficult is it to make that change later on 352 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: after afterwards? I mean, is it something that it's just 353 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: unlikely not to happen or is it that's a good question, 354 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, Um, yeah, I don't see why it can't 355 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: be addressed later. I mean, I think it should be 356 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: in there now. I mean, I agree there's no re 357 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: is and that shouldn't be in there. But that's when 358 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 1: you get into the goddamn politics. That's where the Republicans 359 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: come up with something that I think is really fair, 360 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,120 Speaker 1: except they don't have this. Democrats have this over here, 361 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: which I think sucks. What what which one are you 362 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: gonna go with the one that's gonna cost twenty five 363 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 1: percent exercise tax on top of the state taxes that's 364 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: gonna kill the industry? Or do you go that that 365 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: has a social equity component that might not even have teeth. 366 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: There's a lot of those programs don't have a lot 367 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: of teeth. They're getting preyed upon by big corporations coming 368 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: in and praying upon the social equity applicants can until 369 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 1: they start giving out licenses to social equity applicants, a 370 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: majority of those cannot afford to get into the system. 371 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: Even with the social equity programs, you still need the 372 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: funding and where does the funding come from? Big business 373 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 1: is gonna want to take over the social equity applicants business? 374 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: What's they're not supposed to do that They do backdoor 375 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: deals and they do this all the time. Well, that's 376 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: what scares me about this whole scenario. Right, lower the taxes, 377 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: it happens, and then what happens there big business comes in. 378 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: Which business, big business is gonna come either way. Right, 379 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: So we're already getting in it, yeah, right, like fights 380 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: are just spent, all this money, all everybody's getting in this. 381 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: That being said, it makes me a little more nervous 382 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: when they do this because it just fucks the person 383 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: that's been trying so hard, the minority equity, social equity 384 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: groups that have been trying to try and trying, and 385 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: they just get pushed out and it doesn't take Does 386 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: it take the ones out that are already in place? Right? No, 387 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what you're referring to. Meaning like if 388 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: a social equity group is already active and operational, I mean, 389 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,719 Speaker 1: I mean right now, the only social equity that the 390 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: state of California has they just now rolled out fee waivers, 391 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: certain fee waivers. That doesn't mean you're gonna get a 392 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: business because you don't have to pay the annual fee. 393 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: You still got to pay the hundred fifty MILLI dollars 394 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: to set up the business because of the high regulation. 395 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: You don't get a pass on that you just get 396 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: to not they waive some fee. So to me, it's 397 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: like a it's bullshit. It's a bullshit gesture. And at 398 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: the federal level, it's still leaving it up to the state, 399 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: leaving up to the state to decide the state rules 400 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: and which would include the social equity and they're saying, 401 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: leave that out of the feds. We want less federal regulation, 402 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: less federal interference. That's what most Republicans and most libertarians 403 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: and and the conservatives want, less governmental regulation. And that's 404 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: like what blue lights and eyelights, we all like, less 405 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: governmental intervention. So if we can take the best of both, 406 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: is where we what we should do. But I think 407 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: it's a matter of leaving it to the state to 408 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 1: decide those issues and leave the Feds out of it completely. 409 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: So them not having it in that bill at the 410 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: federal level, to me, it's still going to be a 411 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: state by state thing. So it's almost like you're giving 412 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: up nothing. Well, we'll see, I don't know it. It's 413 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: Illinois making so much money over this, and I don't 414 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: even know if they'll want to lower the taxes after 415 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: they're they're just crushing alcohol taxes going with I think 416 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: the difference though, Joe is I don't think there's many states. 417 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't be wrong. I have dived into the research 418 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: on this, but most states do not have the ellicit 419 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: market like waiting in California. It's just not it's not there. 420 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: They the existence of the massive elicit market that we 421 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: have here fuels and and is sent to the other 422 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: states where it's sold, and they just don't have the 423 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: infrastructure that the black market has here that they do 424 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: in other states. So I think those states aren't having 425 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: the same problem as California and competing with the illicit market. Yeah. Well, 426 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna hear how Craig ships 427 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: his weed out of state.

It's just mind boggling 490 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: how much business is being done and and it's still 491 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: a federal fans in Montana props to you for for 492 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: taking that leap and doing what you need to do. 493 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: But I mean, when you look at what's going on 494 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: out there, Colorado was the first to do it. Here's 495 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: your story to just cap relies and jump on your 496 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: Montana story. Colorado cannabis sales set two point one nine 497 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: billion record in Montana's on its way. Maybe it won't 498 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,479 Speaker 1: do that big as soon. I mean, what what when 499 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 1: did it start? In um in Colorado? Was a two 500 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: thousand ninth whatever it was. It's been a couple of 501 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: years growing, but I mean when you look at this 502 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: should have been ten years at least in Colorado. Yeah. 503 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: So my point that's it's grown the near one point 504 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: seven five billion adult use and four forty two point 505 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: five million in medical cannabis sales. So it's still both markets, right, 506 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: which is the same thing in Montana's gonna have same 507 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: thing in California has the adult use figures represents a 508 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: increase over the two thousand nineteen total of one point 509 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: four one billion dollars. That's the big guys. With a boy, 510 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm not talking millions. Colorado is pulling in billions of dollars. 511 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 1: Colorado cultivators grew about one point to four million plants in. 512 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that again, the cultivators grew about one 513 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: point to four million plants. That's a whole lot of 514 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: plants in, which equivalent to about six hundred and sixty 515 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: two point three metric tons of consumer product. That is crazy. 516 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: The average price program for adult use of cannabis, however, 517 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: increased from three point nine nine and two thousand nineteen 518 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: to four point eight last year. I don't care, you guys, 519 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: just four dollars and eighty cents to grammars to great price. 520 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: You can't really beat that. That's what they're growing for it. 521 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: That's not what they're selling it for exactly. I don't 522 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: think that they gotta still put a little bit more 523 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: on that. The price program for medical cannabis also increased 524 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: to three dollars and eighty cents, the report says. The 525 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: MET reports suggests that the coronavirus pandemic, of course, increased 526 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: demand for both adult use and medical use as household spend. 527 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: That's way too cheap. That's that's dirt week hey. Either way, 528 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,959 Speaker 1: that I'm sure they're just in some of the earlier 529 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: prices of what it is. But Earlier this month, the 530 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: Colorado Department of Revenue release it's uh Average Market Rate 531 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: report for retail cannabis and found price decreasing across five 532 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: of the seven cannabis categories.

Ship went from three grand 536 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: to three hundred. How crazy is that, dude. I was 537 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: talking to people that couldn't even get rid of stuff, 538 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: and even in the illicit market the prices even went down. 539 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: Crazy as can be, people, because people are going holidays. 540 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 1: I'm sitting in corners here and people talk, what do 541 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: you need to buy? Craig. Let me know, well, generally 542 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 1: generally right now, guys, you know this time of the 543 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: year with you know, c October, you know, November, December, 544 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: the price always drops. But come you know February, March, April, 545 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: the price starts going way back up. Um. You know, 546 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: because the crops are harvesting the outdoor. A lot more 547 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: outdoor products are coming to the market, and the products 548 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 1: are getting better and better. So by having these outdoor products, 549 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: the price drops so much that people just start buying 550 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 1: what's available at the better price. Let's be honest, not 551 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: everybody wants to buy the top quality. In fact, you know, 552 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: I would say the majority of people in the world 553 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: want to buy just the mid middle ground, you know 554 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 1: what we would call why that's why most companies have 555 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: a whole line they have do you have to the 556 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: the mids and then the top shelf? Yeah, and then 557 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: there's there's the there's the connoissewers that are always gonna 558 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: sit there and only smoke top shelf. They won't even 559 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: consider smoke. You've got those who come in and say 560 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: give me well vodka and they get kempt check guy 561 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: or some ship like that. Or they say give me 562 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: great Goose or or Bilvedere, or you want to patrone 563 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: instead of whatever the fund is in their will. Um, 564 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: it's the same concept. You know, people, the businesses that 565 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: are doing well or hitting all the all the different 566 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: levels that people want, Yeah, they get them from everyone. 567 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: And I think it's important, you know, you have you 568 00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: have to know your market. Um and and and you 569 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 1: know a lot of times in the different you know, 570 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: the different people like you know, there's some people don't 571 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: ever want to smoke, you know, heavy duty, You know, 572 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't want to get too high. I 573 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: want to just get a little buzz. You know. Something 574 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: that I found interesting that's going on out there as 575 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: well in Colorado is that they just passed a new 576 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: bill that lawmakers did in November, and they said, starting 577 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: in January, new purchase limits for medical cannabis patients will 578 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,920 Speaker 1: take effect under a bill that I don't understand why 579 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: they would do that, especially when it's the medical patients, Like, 580 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: how can you tell unless unless unless, Joe, there was 581 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 1: limits and they're raising the limits for medical that right there, 582 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: crazy us turned mine to make me go very good, 583 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 1: because why would you limit you know, it could have 584 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: been an all encompassing limit per person. And now they're saying, okay, 585 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: if it's medical, like in California, you can basically buy 586 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: as much as you need, as much as you can 587 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: prove you can have as a medical patient. What have 588 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: you seen, Craig that somebody can get what are the 589 00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: high Like, oh my god, this person got away with 590 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: getting this. It's not getting away if you have a 591 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: medical condition. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, I don't want 592 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: to You could go you could go to a storefront 593 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: and buy five pounds, right there's no limit. Now, it 594 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: might get flagged. You may have to prove that down 595 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: the road. But I mean that's just an off the 596 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: scale example. But there's as a medical patient here in California, 597 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: you can buy five pounds right now. Yes, and legally 598 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: in California. What's the limit I can buy right now? 599 00:33:54,280 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 1: As adult use eight graham which is one ounce? Which 600 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: is what is that? That's there's sixteen ounces in a pound. 601 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: It's so funny to think why people would spend twenty 602 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: five bucks to get a medical card. Folks, you're in 603 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,479 Speaker 1: California or anywhere for that matter, dude. We've been telling people. 604 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: We've actually been telling people that in California anywhere else, 605 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:21,160 Speaker 1: the medical card comes with a bunch of extra protections 606 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: then just having a don't use. So if you had 607 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: your card before, you may as well get it again. 608 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: That way, you can carry in your car. I mean, 609 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: as much as you can medically prove. But the guidelines 610 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: that the police know is eight ounces of flower um 611 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: eight ounces of concentrate, so you can have up to 612 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: eight ounces. That's that's quite a bit of cannabis in 613 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: your vehicle. Um, but if you don't use and have 614 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 1: that much, you're fucked. You're getting a misdemeanor. You're getting 615 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 1: misdemeanor for possession. You're getting a misdemeanor most likely, even 616 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: if you had no intention of selling it, possession to 617 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: sell as well, even if you're sitting there smoking that 618 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 1: every day and you know this is all to the head. 619 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,800 Speaker 1: That part is just horrible, ye, I mean, there shouldn't 620 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: be any limit. I don't know why there's even a limit. 621 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: It's stupid, especially when you sit there and you look 622 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: at what you can go buy at Costco alcohol wise 623 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 1: right right, and you know, the only way you can 624 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,479 Speaker 1: die from weed white or one of the only ways 625 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: that I know of, is if ten pounds bail falls 626 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 1: on your head as you're walking by the farm.
