It's so exciting to be part 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: of the cannabis industry. Joe, let us know what's going down. Well, 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: we want to thank everybody for listening to the podcast 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: Anabis Talk. When I want on the I Heart radio app, 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And before 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: we get into the show, I want to ask you 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: all something. If you could spend millions or even billions 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: of dollars on research for cannabis, like, where would you 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: start and what brings this up? Is? Canada was just 25 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: given forty billion dollars in grants, right and the American 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: cannabis industry was left out, of course of the loop 27 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: for the research grants and credits who knows why, But 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: not in Canada, where the government is utilizing everything from analytics, 29 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: slabs too, whatever they can do, to the ability to 30 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: research and come up with novel treatment ideas. So my 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: question is what would you focus on if you could 32 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: do it? And why? Let's start with you, little brother, 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: Mark Wasser, and what would you focus on if you 34 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: could spend millions or billions of dollars on research? You know, 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: I would have to say right now, focus on how cannabis, CBD, 36 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: thh C, whatever the case may be, can fight the 37 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: coronavirus because there are people out there who who believe it. 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean, we know one Kyle Turley, and I don't 39 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: see how that's going down the wrong road. Because we 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: have our indocannabinoid system, which helps with the immune system. 41 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: And we know that using cannabis in all forms and 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: whether it has th HC or CBD helps the indocannabinoid system. 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: So that's where I think, UH, money like that should 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: go into specific research for this. Right now, they're looking 45 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: to do a vaccine, they're looking to figure out what's 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: going on with this this virus. A lot of money 47 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: should be spent pouring into Hey, cannabis can help defeat this. 48 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: That's at one point, I remember your big brother saying 49 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: that cannabis can cure the coronavirus. If that's not the 50 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: words that came out of his mouth at one point, 51 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: how do you feel about that? Now say that? Well? 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: How about this? How about this? There's been a recent 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: article from the time Aims of Israel. Now Israel has 54 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: been testing cannabis for years and they and right now 55 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: at the so and so Medical Center I can't pronounce 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: it's Hebrew, UH, will begin administering medical cannabis to coronavirus 57 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: patients in moderate condition as part of an experimental treatment. 58 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: How's that. I think what we need to do is 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: put forty billion dollars into the research that is being 60 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: done in other countries already. So I mean it's I 61 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: think studying it as a immune booster, studying it as 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: a cure for cancer. I think it needs to be 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: studied and test done and try. You can focus on 64 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: one though, and I agree with everything you're saying that 65 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: I can't give you one. I got you know it 66 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: can never give you one exactly. I know it's so 67 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: hard to do. And don't look get me wrong, I 68 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: agree with you, but just for the sake of one 69 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: thing said he would do it for, which is beautiful 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: right now. It's perfect time and of course, and maybe 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: a good say, but no one disagrees with you. You don't. 72 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: You don't understand what I'm saying. What I'm saying is 73 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: that you tested for the If you tested for the coronavirus, 74 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: you're testing it and the testing is gonna show a 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: lot of different things. I'm not a scientist or biologist 76 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: or or you know whatever the these people do that 77 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: they're just a stone rocket scientists kind of people you know, 78 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: that are doing the testing. So I want to they 79 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: break it down to test it, to test it for 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: one thing, it's gonna be good for other things. That's 81 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: my point. Are you running for Congress? You're I object 82 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: to uh this word stoner that you just threw out there. 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: This is this this is our third episode. And if 84 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: you're gonna do that, you gotta say successful stoner. So Mark, 85 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna Mark. You gave a great answer for 86 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: the coronavirus. Is where you want your research? Your brother's 87 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,799 Speaker 1: tap dancing on everything. He can't give an exact answer. Blue, 88 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: What would you use the money on if you could 89 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: do research of it? Definitely I would use the research 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: money for cancer. Um. It's been a long, long struggle 91 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: with cancer. Um. I believe that there's been a lot 92 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: of testing out there from people themselves that have said, 93 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: you know, it helps with cancer and so many different 94 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: from skin cancer to lung cancers to you know, um, 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: you know wherever it's at. And and I you know, 96 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: my father passed away of cancer. So I think I 97 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: would step right into the cancer market. Yeah. And personally 98 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: I'd like to go to the pain management, haven't Weight 99 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: loss loss would be great as well, um as I've 100 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: heard it work. But every time when I was stone, 101 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I wanted wanted to eat more food and have Yeah, 102 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: have you looked at me lately. Have you seen me lately? 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a cop out market and and 104 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: and part of your other reason is you don't want 105 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: to be in the house with your family, so you 106 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: do anything and everything to get out of there. So 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: by working out outside as a plus for you, good try. 108 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: But I work out only thirty minutes at a Joe. 109 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: That's all it takes. You. You can't even do that, 110 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: It's okay, It's okay, Mark, I definitely do three minutes today. 111 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with that. But our bodies are 112 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: different by all means. So my point is that I 113 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: would use alone exactly. I know why you're talking. We're 114 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: on the coronavirus, diets fired and the way you look 115 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: and a plus, yeah, I'm just a little overweight, it's okay, 116 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: and help me get my test done because I'm obedience 117 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: and have diabetes. So I was able to get my 118 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: DestinE out for you obedience. So my point is what 119 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: I would use my money on though, is for pain management, 120 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: meaning I'd like to be able to help people and 121 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: everybody in general, say, like, you know, if you have 122 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: a headache, if you have a shoulder pain, back ache, 123 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: kind of like what you take advil and tieing off 124 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: for same type of thing with an oil or you know, 125 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: they say smoke. This just some type of research that 126 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: gives better examples of how to use canvas rather than 127 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: you should just use it. We're all saying you can 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: use this for that, but give somebody the exact is 129 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: what a lot of people need out there and what's 130 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: gonna make them feel real comfortable and safe taking it. 131 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: So I think the more research we get is gonna 132 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: be great. And I love everybody's answers, and even yours, Craigs, 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: as you say a bunch of things, there's no denying it. 134 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: That's great. And I think Canada, with forty billion dollars 135 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: in grants to come up with some novel treatments as well. 136 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be awesome to see what comes 137 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: out of there. But before we get and dive into 138 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: the show, we've got a chance to catch up with 139 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Big Mike.

It's not really saving lives. What can we 161 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: do to save lives? And we said, well, face masks? 162 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: And we said okay, what kind of face masks?

I mean, 182 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: I said this earlier. You've been You've been at this 183 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: longer than a lot of our followers, and these millennials 184 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: have been alive. What have you seen change from then 185 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: until now? Oh? Man, that's you know like it. You 186 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: see the man you're all nervous and all this stuff, 187 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: and you try to keep your electric go low, doing 188 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: whatever you can, and you're just basically live a very 189 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, surreptitious life, and you don't have a lot 190 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: of contact with with a whole lot of folks. You 191 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: stay real close to a small group of people. Now 192 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: it's open, you can talk about it. We're talking about 193 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: its going on, and I got Heart radio mainstream. Now 194 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: it's I always tell the younger, the younger generation that 195 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: they don't really get it. Uh. I don't think they 196 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: appreciate that. When I was im I'm gonna be close 197 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: to fifty eight, and when I was sixteen years forty 198 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: something years ago, where I had, let alone, not being 199 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: in the growing part of it, in the industry part 200 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: of it. Back then I was a consumer where I 201 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: had to go to purchase my cannabis. Oh my god, 202 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: they have no idea, you know, even back in the 203 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: middle they had no idea when when stores were quasillegal. Um, 204 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: so this is just amazing that if I had thought 205 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: when I was sixteen fifteen, whenever I started it, there 206 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: would be a national holiday. Well not only that, you know, 207 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: one of the things that that I think that that 208 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: will we won't ever really get the feeling of is 209 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: is growing up and knowing that cannabis is just like 210 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: having a beer and it's not quite there, but it's 211 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: going there. And with our with our you know, um, 212 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: you know, philanthropist piss and and that's out there, you know, 213 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: putting in work and creating this you know, this whole uh, 214 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: you know, machines that were out there doing We're gonna 215 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: get it to that level to where it's just like 216 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: drinking alcohol or or you know, but even better, you know, 217 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: for much better, much better. And we've got like Chronic 218 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: Relief has got a big, big program going on the today. 219 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: They know Feeding America charity. I advise everybody to tune 220 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: into that and and help feed America. Again, cannabis is 221 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: feeding America. That was just great. Did you have any 222 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 1: ropes to jump over big mic for that? I mean, 223 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: you know, because so many people at certain points wouldn't 224 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: take money from the cannabis industry, and you're a company 225 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: with advanced nutrients that helps make plants grow. So you 226 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: make money not just off the cannabis industry, you make 227 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: it off people who want to grow tomatoes, you know whatever. 228 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: So how difficult, Uh what did it used to be 229 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: compared to now? Now they're like, oh, you're helping Mike. Yeah, day, 230 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: day and night difference. And one of the reasons four 231 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: years ago when we started this, I didn't ask anybody. 232 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: We just we just went down to skid Row and 233 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: started handing out backpacks. And and now we're accepted and 234 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: you're not getting the pushback. Before, you know, city hall 235 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily want to, you know, talk about what we're 236 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: doing and stuff, and now they're more open to it 237 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: and seeing things and part in every city that has 238 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: allows cannabis, there's always some kind of charitable thing or 239 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: you gotta pay some kind of other tax and you 240 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: know that that's that's something that still has to be 241 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: addressed over taxation of Well, listen, let's talk about that. 242 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: What a what a look. The fastest way to kill 243 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: the black market would would be would be the guy 244 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: have a newsom to just say hey, listen, we're gonna 245 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: kill all the tax during the coronavirus on cannabis. And 246 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: the reason why I think that would be important is 247 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: because it's safe cannabis. Well, what are the big differences 248 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: between then and now? Way back then we were smoking 249 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: pesticides and heavy metals and micro toxins and all kinds 250 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: of stuff. Now we have clean product. Now people say, well, 251 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be smoking or whatever, but you can take 252 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: in edible. And here's the thing. Cannabis is way less 253 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: carcinogenic than than cigarettes are. And if you're gonna inhale 254 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: and people are gonna do it anyways, you know they're 255 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: not gonna stop at least use safe product, especially because 256 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: there's a respiratory problem with the coronavirus. Yeah, I mean 257 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: the state that I think the reason that it passed though, 258 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: it just mean, really, what amounts to a send tax 259 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: is what's happening to put They put too much on 260 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: too fast? Well, yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm not 261 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: a mathematician, I'm not an economist. Um, but wouldn't you 262 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: were wouldn't you rather get a little of a lot 263 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: or a lot of almost nothing? I mean, it just 264 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense to me, just the regular state sales 265 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: news tax would go up, like, you know, more than 266 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: a black market. It's exponentially growing right now, right now. 267 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: It's amazing. It's just like on fire right now because 268 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: people don't want to pay that extra tax. The fact 269 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: some much probably gonna come back on the screen and 270 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: pick up right now. I got my backpack, I got 271 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: my backpack ready to go. I'm I'm I'm ready. I'm 272 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: literally you know. So it's just crazy. There's still a 273 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: long way to go in this in this Cannada a space, 274 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: but at least we're here and we've got a long way. 275 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: And now we've launched our podcast, Cannabis Talk one on 276 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: one on the I Heart Radio app, Big Mike.

If you're not in that if you're not 381 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: in that area or that space, the growth space or whatnot, 382 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: then you might not know who he is. And especially 383 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: cultivators because all you here at the end of the 384 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: day is the name of a brand and it's out there, 385 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: or you see a face that's the face of the 386 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: brand and the cultivators. You know that without them, none 387 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: of it would be here, none of it. So sorry, 388 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: but but was your pops a cultivator? Did he actually 389 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: grow it as well? Absolutely? Yeah. My father grew cannabis, 390 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: taught me, you know, some of the tricks, and then 391 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: my brother picked it up. And my brother and I 392 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: kind of just went at it for a lot of years. Um, 393 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: you know, and back then we knew who George was 394 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: even in because he's been in like High Times articles 395 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: since we were kids, you know, and we've we've read 396 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 1: up on him and just heard all the good stories 397 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: about the guy. More than that, he's an advocate though, 398 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's been he's been pushing for people's attention 399 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 1: in cannabis for you know, over thirty years now, so 400 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: he's he's been around for a long time. Did you 401 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: learn anything from him for about cultivating? You know what? 402 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: I I Actually it's funny you say that, because there 403 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: was a thing, there's something called super cropping, and and um, 404 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: you know, I actually learned how to super crop from 405 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: one of one of his his YouTube videos years ago. 406 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: And I was just watching one of the videos and 407 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: and uh, kind of showed us how a super cropping. 408 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: And then from that point, you know, we've had friends 409 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: and experimenting. Is that was that like Superman? Superman? Yeah, 410 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: over it what a super cropping? So essentially, when when 411 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: you when the plants growing and it starts to grow 412 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: as branches, you know, we would crack uh one of 413 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: the branches so that it would it would actually break 414 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: it and then it would create a not there. And 415 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: what would happen is it was it would allow all 416 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: the water being pulled from the roots to head towards 417 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: that not and then it would that not would become 418 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: pretty big and it would create more flower at the 419 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: end of it because the more water and the food 420 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: can get to the flower. I'm just come planting. Yeah, 421 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: I've I've got big I Hey, i got big Mike 422 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: startup kid over here. I've used advanced nutrients for years 423 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know the big bud and all 424 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: the big bloom and all the different products they have 425 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: are pretty amazing guys. So that there it is the 426 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: Nazi's making ways. Craig tell us what's going on in 427 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: cannabis news. All right, let's get straight to it. I'm 428 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: gonna follow up real quick on a story before I 429 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: get the one, get to the one that I want 430 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: to discuss today. Remember I talked about that case in 431 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,920 Speaker 1: Massachusetts where the governor shut down all the adult use 432 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: shops but not the medical shops. Well, guess what the 433 00:22:55,359 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 1: adult use shops lost. Yeah, basically based on it. It 434 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: makes a little sense. You're taking the coronavirus seriously because 435 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: you can only be a citizen of Massachusetts in order 436 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: to get your medical card. So if you if the 437 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: adult use, people can come in from other states to 438 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 1: go to an adult adult use shop. So if you 439 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 1: have to get you have to have a medical card, 440 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: which means you need to be a citizen of that state. Therefore, 441 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 1: it's gonna limit the amount of people coming into buy cannabis. 442 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: And that's actually what happened, and that's why they lost. 443 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: Onto the next door the logic there where why wouldn't 444 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: you want to make more money from everyone coming in. 445 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: It's about the coronavirus, Joe, It's about the coronavirus. More 446 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: more important is that California cannabis distributors are setting up 447 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: a network to share info on firms that pay bills 448 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: and don't pay bills. They're creating a blacklist. And this 449 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: is while some distributors are actually closing right now. They're 450 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: looking you're looking at over get this number in receivables. 451 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: Everybody know what receivables are. What a business is owed? 452 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: Hundred million dollars easily, easily a hundred million dollars in 453 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: receivables feoplet companies. That's total. That's total. That's because that's 454 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: everyone that can't be one company. And and what that 455 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,679 Speaker 1: and what that's doing is it's causing companies like the 456 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: Sonora based Pacific Expediters they just had to close their doors. 457 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: They had to close their doors and they have an 458 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 1: outstanding debt of at least a half a million dollars 459 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: for the startup of the company. And this is due 460 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: to people not paying their bills. And also they indicate 461 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: the CEO indicated that it's also based on the ridiculous 462 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: overregulation and how hard it is for any cannabis business 463 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: to be profitable. This might be good, you know, Craig 464 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: that that the taxes and things like that that are 465 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: owed aren't be and paid because it will show if 466 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: there's multiple people, uh, you know, not paying them. It's 467 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: gonna come to a point where they're gonna realize that 468 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: they've overtaxed it. Well, I'm not I'm not sure. I mean, 469 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: that's that's not a of the problem. I mean, it's 470 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: a huge, huge part of the problem is the over 471 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: taxation and regulatory costs. But it's also I mean, so 472 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: imagine the overregulation, taxation and regulatory costs coupled with not 473 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: getting paid, right, I mean, I mean, it's it's just ridiculous. So, 474 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: I mean, I just thought that was interesting, uh, to 475 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: hear that that, you know, And it's funny too because 476 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: they must be they must be getting legal information which 477 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: I haven't looked into regarding you know, they're gonna put 478 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: people on blast and they're gonna create a they're gonna 479 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: create a they're gonna create a blacklist that says don't 480 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: buy from them, they're not gonna pay. Well, they just 481 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: haven't paid s chertain bills. But can they do that legally? 482 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: And put I I have not, I have not looked 483 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: into that, and I'm sure they're specialists in that area. 484 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 1: It would be a form of defamation. I mean, we're 485 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: we're right, we don't do that kind of truth is 486 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: the defense. Truth is a defense. So hey, you don't 487 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: pay your bills. Hey that guy didn't pay my bills. 488 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: You know. But there are there are privy around collections 489 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: and collection agencies, and there are certain law federal collections accidents. 490 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: But mark mark mark you you you've done collection law. 491 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: Isn't it true? Isn't it true that the actual original 492 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: creditor can do things that are UM collection agency can't. Yes, well, 493 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: especially if it's a business. So there's different consumer protection 494 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: laws for the consumer when it comes to collection agencies. 495 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: But when it comes to a business you as as 496 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: a for instance, if if a collection agency hires an attorney, 497 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: they have to have go into court as a third 498 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: party creditor. And there's lots of different shoes and laws 499 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: that UH come with that. And these cannabis companies that 500 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: we actually had a cave. We actually were representing UH 501 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: in a civil action a client who was being sued 502 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: this was a few years ago before the regulations, who 503 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: was being sued for not alleged non payments of UHUD dollars, right, 504 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: and it was it was a bogus lawsuit and they 505 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: were spreading vicious rumors and lies around the community and ultimately, 506 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 1: you know, we got the case dismissed. But I digress 507 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,919 Speaker 1: into that. Just sorry about that, big, So like a 508 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: definition of whatever deformation of character because it's true they 509 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 1: do owe the money, so they couldn't sue for that, right, Well, yeah, 510 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: it would have to be under in looking at the article, 511 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: they're looking at privacy laws, different kind of privacy laws, 512 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: so that's what it would fall under. Something I want 513 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: to say, Craig, is this kind of reminds me of 514 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: you know, the guys in the industry and that were 515 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: black market that just didn't pay their bills in the day. 516 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 1: You know, you got people that are coming but you 517 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 1: know what, do you know what? You know what you 518 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: you you were in that we were all in that 519 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: gray area market back then, and it was cash on 520 00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: the barrelhead brother, it was cash upfront if you were 521 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: for most people, it was cash up front. If you 522 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: chose not to do that, then I think that was 523 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: the problem back then, if you chose not to take 524 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: the cast because it was it was all cash. This 525 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: is Craig, and that was your cannabis news. Great cannabis news, Craig. 526 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: What's going on? Mark?

His name is Joe. His name is Joe, 548 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: but I call him the round Mound of radio. Tell 549 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 1: us what's going green, Joe? Well, you guys, the parent 550 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: company of High Times Holding Corporation announces an acquisition of 551 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Humble to Heritage, Inc. And its subsidiaries Humbled Sun Growers 552 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: Guild and Grateful Eight LLLC. Now, this is a major 553 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: expansion into the cannabis growing and processing industry. It kind 554 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: of goes hand in hand blew with your guy George, 555 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: who's a grower out there. Maybe they'll higher George as 556 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: well to help them start growing. But with High Times 557 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: opening up to flagship retail stores in Las Vegas and 558 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, this is huge for them because you know, 559 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,479 Speaker 1: currently eleven states right now you can you know, have 560 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: recreational weed. But they're right now, I'm gonna get this brand. 561 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: And I believe once they have this type of brand 562 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: and by the cultivation from Humboldt out there, they're gonna 563 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: clean house. I mean, they should be able to make 564 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: an amazing product. As for those who don't know, the 565 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: Trifecta out in California, Humboldt County has been notoriously known 566 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: for making some of the best weed ever period because 567 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: of the way the weather is there and and it's 568 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: mostly grown outdoor and because of the weather. I believe 569 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: it's the weather because it's the mountains. Correct. I didn't 570 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: know you were a cultivator, Joe, Joe, I said, I 571 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: that's what I believe, Joe. Just so you know, that's 572 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: actually George Savantes is facility that they're purchasing. So well, 573 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Well, I wish you would have 574 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: said that in your segments so we could have understood it. 575 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: But you know, it's hard for you to ever explain anything. 576 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: So it's not my fault. I just made that up. 577 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: I just you know. But either way, I ke's such 578 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: a dope grower that what High Times is doing is 579 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,000 Speaker 1: buying in a great area for great growers. Now, the 580 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: funny thing about this that I find a little gray 581 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 1: is that, you know, High Times is known for their 582 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 1: big cups and this and that, and if they're gonna 583 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 1: start producing such great product, it feels funny if one 584 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: of their you know, subsidiary companies, that's one of their 585 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,239 Speaker 1: product lines is in their own cups and you know, 586 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: so that's the one like oh, this one wins, that 587 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: one wins, but it will be allowed. They're not going 588 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: to allow that. We would hope that, and you know, 589 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: but my thing is, I think it's brilliant for High 590 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: Times to jump into the game where they're they're opening 591 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: up stores anyways, and you gotta believe it. Why not 592 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: use your brand? Why not use your brand? And well, 593 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 1: here's what I'm confused about. They're a publicly traded company 594 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: at this point. They're purchasing a cannabis flower facility, which 595 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna end up showing revenues for. And that kind 596 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: of scares me because I'm not sure that they can 597 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: do that right now as a publicly traded company. Right, 598 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. We're not publicly. 599 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 1: I don't think they're publicly traded yet. They were they 600 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: were raising some kind of some class. I'm not a 601 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: stock person, so I don't know, but they were raising 602 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: some kind of stock certain stock class before they went public. Right, 603 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 1: So they're they're planning to go public and so and 604 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm a huge fan, first of all, 605 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 1: you right, and I don't know how a public or 606 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: a company that's going to go public can can carry 607 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: you know, federally illegal products like cannabis on lets unless 608 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: it's going public on the Canadian Stock Exchange. Yeah, they 609 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: were because they were selling stocks right remember for the 610 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: longest time, not to the but but they weren't in 611 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: the weed business. Then they were in the publication business 612 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: and event business. Well then now the parent company of 613 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: High Times corpse. So maybe they're using a subsidiary company 614 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: of hostubsidiary, subsidiary, sub a Joe subsidiary. You went to 615 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: college somehow, Yeah, I don't know how I have a degree, 616 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: but I do. I never had to say subsidiary to 617 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: get my degree. That's why subsidiary whatever, whatever, subsidiary whatever. 618 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: But the point is, that's a great observation though blue 619 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: and makes you wonder how they are going to do that. 620 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: I mean, because you're right, they can't as a company, 621 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,320 Speaker 1: especially here locally and the fifty United States do that 622 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: and and still make it because it's fairly traded. Know what, 623 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: I think. I think you might have hit it on 624 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: the nose with the mother company, you know what I mean? 625 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 1: So you know, I think they bypassed High Times and 626 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: they're actually using High Time. High Times does this, but 627 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: we do that and we're still kind of the umbrella 628 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: of all of it. So I'm assuming. I don't think 629 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: I've been doing it. I don't. I don't think the 630 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,560 Speaker 1: umbrella is gonna work. If anything that could be a 631 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: separate company altogether that they put together to use the 632 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: High Time brand that's not part of that might be 633 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: a licensing deal or something like that, because if if 634 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: they if they're traded on the US Stock Exchange, they can't, Yeah, 635 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: they can't, they can't. They can't do that looking on 636 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: the Canadian that why don't you do that and get 637 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: back to us? I shall, you know what I will. 638 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: And then High Times they what they send in the 639 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: big mission statement is their mission is kicked to connect 640 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 1: consumers to cannabis, not only the best access and experience, 641 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: but by making the best products available to our consumers 642 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: across the country and eventually the world. And that was 643 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,520 Speaker 1: Adam Levine, which is true. I mean, I think it's 644 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 1: we all know the brand. It's the most trusted brand 645 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 1: in my opinion, damn near. And they have a new CEO, 646 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: this lady named Stormy Simmons. I believe you guys know 647 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: Stormy Simon. She is a great lady. Yeah, yeah, and 648 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: then if you can, you know, pull out your great 649 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: Lady Carter. Maybe get her on the show one day, 650 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: that would be cool. You ask and you will receive. 651 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: With me, I receive. I'm Joe Grande at your go 652 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,279 Speaker 1: green moment, Mark Washerman, a k A little brother of 653 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: the world, flamous, influential part brothers at law. What's going 654 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: on in cannabis? We are famous? Maybe we're famous, but 655 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: we're not flames and famous.

What 702 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: did I say the headline man eate pot. Then you 703 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: have to read the story to get into the meth, 704 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: you know. But then that's always how it happens. You 705 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: see these big headlines about coke and drug busts, and 706 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,879 Speaker 1: then you always see the pot and then you see 707 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: all be good, and you know what, that stuff makes 708 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,359 Speaker 1: cannabis look bad?

So that's tampering with physical evidence. 714 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: Those are two felonies. So here's what happened. The police 715 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: stop Chadwell about nine pm for a broken break light. 716 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: And here's where we can teach people, right, Dinging, ding Ding, 717 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,759 Speaker 1: don't be driving with a broken head any light, that's right. 718 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: And eight of all drug bus start with a traffic stop. 719 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,359 Speaker 1: So which is why we are having the script memorized. 720 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,799 Speaker 1: We're telling people to memorize the script. I know we 721 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: went through it a little bit. Should we do it 722 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,439 Speaker 1: really quick?
