32
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: you guys, Doctor Dina, a powerful advocate for mainstreaming medical cannabis.

33
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: I mean, she's done a podcast which was Cannabis Confidential

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: with Doctor Dina. She's beloved by hundreds and thousands of

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: Hollywood celebs and dignitaries everywhere. Doctor Dina decided to come

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: out of the green closet after an article from Snoop

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: Dogg in January of twenty thirteen an issue of GQ

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: magazine called the Lion Smoker Tonight and he basically calls

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: her out and doctor Dina, we're gonna hear so much

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: more about that story. And then, of course, for those

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: who don't know, doctor Dina's life was then used for

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: the basis for a hit show Weeds, Welcome to Cannabis

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: Talk one oh one, Doctor Dina, how are you?

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 8: I'm here, you guys. I'm sorry. It's been a technical,

45
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 8: technical day after all these years. I've been waiting for

46
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 8: years to be on the show, and I had to

47
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 8: wait till Quarantine.

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 3: We're going to have you at the studio.

49
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be a lot better when we're on

50
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: the studio. But before we get to you, doctor Diana,

51
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: I want to throw a question around the room and

52
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: I want your thoughts on it as well, because I

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a very important to get

54
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: everyone's opinion on this, and it's about the word cannabis

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: versus other words like weed, pop, marijuana, and the pop

56
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: brothers at law. I remember you guys educating me this

57
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: early on about the word cannabis, when I was saying

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: marijuana and this and that. And Mark, let's start with

59
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: you on your thoughts on why it's so important to

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: use the word cannabis.

61
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

62
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 9: Absolutely, and I think I'm probably the most vocal about it.

63
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 9: And I mean when I do stories and the cannabis

64
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 9: go bad stories. Every article I read, it usually says

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 9: marijuana and I change it to cannabis. And if you

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 9: go back in history to understand how this happened. Up

67
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 9: until nineteen ten, the word marijuana didn't exist in American culture.

68
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 9: It just it was not there. Then you had a

69
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 9: big rush of legal Mexicans coming immigrating to you the

70
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 9: United States from nineteen ten to nineteen twenty, and that's

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 9: when the idea of smoking cannabis really entered the mainstream

72
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 9: with the arrival of these immigrants, and so it started

73
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 9: taking some kind of negative light. And then in nineteen thirteen,

74
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 9: the first bill criminalizing cultivation, criminalizing the cultivation of what

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 9: they called loco weed loco weed, passed in California. And

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 9: you know that right there leads us into the Great

77
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 9: Depression where Americans were looking for somebody to blame, and

78
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 9: there was an influx of immigrants at that time with

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 9: the rise of suggestive jazz music, and many white Americans

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 9: began to treat cannabis as a foreign substance. And then

81
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 9: you had a guy named Harry and Slinger who started

82
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 9: using the word marijuana. Harry Anslinger was the first director

83
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 9: of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and right around nineteen thirty,

84
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 9: that's when movies were coming out. He used movie theaters

85
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 9: to spread his propaganda. He testified before Congress saying some

86
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 9: shocking things like, and I quote, marijuana is the most

87
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 9: violent causing drug in the history of mankind. Most marijuana

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:52,919
Speaker 9: smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos, and entertainers. Their satanic music,

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 9: jazz and swing result from marajuana usage.

90
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 4: And that's crazy, doctor, Now you know what I all

91
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 4: I could hear is Craig rolling a joint over there?

92
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 3: Is that is that? I love it?

93
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 4: You know, our producers like eating on the mic, you know,

94
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: like no one's eating.

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: I'm all, I'm like, look at my lip. Hey, that's okay.

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 4: It's part of the gig, right, So so you know what, Mark,

97
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: it's crazy that you bring that up because a lot

98
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 4: of people don't understand the history of why it was

99
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 4: called marijuana, you know, weed and all these you know

100
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 4: these things out there. I understand, you know, the stigma

101
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: that comes with it, and so for a lot of

102
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: years I said, hey, let's go smoke weed, or I would.

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 4: I would always talk about weed in a in a sense,

104
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 4: and I still use it. But the word marijuana, I

105
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 4: don't use it that often. I think I use it

106
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: when I was younger, But you know, I could agree

107
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: with you. I understand those stigmas now and I try

108
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: to use the word cannabis as much as possible.

109
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: What would you call it blue when you were selling

110
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: packs back in the day, packs, I would call that backpack.

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: And Craig, I think you filled down a hole. So

112
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: we can't hear you right now. So unless you tap

113
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: your heels three times and come back from Kansas, I

114
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: don't know if any of us are really going to

115
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 2: hear you. Doctor Dina. Your thoughts on the word cannabis

116
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: and compared to marijuana, potweed, or anything else that's out there.

117
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 8: Well, I think we should going forward trying to use

118
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 8: the word cannabis because it's a little more respectful. There's

119
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 8: no racism attached to it. It's clean. However, I was

120
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 8: in a state in California where we passed a law

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 8: in nineteen ninety six for medical marijuana, and that changed

122
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 8: a lot of people's lives, and so I don't think

123
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 8: it's like something we need to really focus about worrying

124
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 8: about a word. I think that you should educate using

125
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 8: the right word, But I don't think it's something like,

126
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 8: oh my god, you call the brand marijuana, so it's

127
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 8: bad and it's.

128
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: True, like you said, and you were part of that

129
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: whole movement at that time, medical marijuana is a term

130
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: that was a great for so many patients that you

131
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: helped out, So to even use that term as a

132
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: bad one, they're looking at like the life saving term,

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: like literally save their lives, crazy cannabis. But some of

134
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: those other words sound good sometimes, like there's nothing like

135
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: saying that's some bomb ass weed, that's some killer killer.

136
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: You know, It's like sometimes it just flows off the tongue.

137
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: No, I think it's for the I think it's more

138
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: for the mainstream people that haven't really been exposed to

139
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 4: it to use the word cannabis, because when you start

140
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 4: using those other words and you start looking them up,

141
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 4: you start finding the negative that that attached to them,

142
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: And I think it's it's really for the newbies, you know,

143
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: getting them out there, because I mean, you know, if

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: doctor Gina's like, hey, you want to smoke some weed,

145
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, hell, yeah, you know, or you know, it's

146
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 4: not like I don't go, hey, you should correct your

147
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: your you know the way you said that.

148
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: It's really for the new people that are in the industry,

149
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: you know.

150
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: Good point blue. Matter of fact, doctor, do you know

151
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 2: what kind of weed you smoking right now?

152
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 8: I'm actually smoking some philifera number two. This is a

153
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 8: new strength, new brand that just came out. But I

154
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 8: wanted to just touch on Harry Anslinger calling it locoweed

155
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 8: was actually right. It's loco that this weed brings so

156
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 8: many amazing benefits right to so many people.

157
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: We're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about doctor

Speaker 2: Dina how she became the queen of cannabis. Let's take

Speaker 2: we got a special guest with us, doctor Dina. Sometimes

162
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: people call her the real Nancy Botwin. Of course she's

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: been everywhere that you've seen cannabis, from billboards to dispensary.

164
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Her website is Doctordina four twenty dot com. Doctor Dina,

165
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 2: it is so good to have you on this show

166
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: with us, and it's been a long time and a

167
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: long time coming. And I want you to take us

168
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: down a memory lane of how you even got started

169
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: in the cannabis game, because you know, we've for those

170
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: who don't know, the snoop gave me the name doctor Gina.

171
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: But how was it like for you to get in

172
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: cannabis before Snoop, take us back there.

173
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 8: Back in two thousand and two is when my friend

174
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 8: called me one day said that he had been diagnosed

175
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 8: with testicular cancer that had grown in his stomach, which

176
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 8: is actually quite rare. So he had this terrible tumor.

177
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 8: But it wasn't a stomach cancer. It was testicular cancer,

178
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 8: and you treat that very differently, especially when it's in

179
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 8: your stomach. So he was starting with a oral chemotherapy.

180
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 8: He was taking this for a few months, and he

181
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 8: was so sick at this point, he was throwing up

182
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 8: all day long. He could not hold down food. And

183
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 8: so he called me one day and said, I have

184
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 8: good news and bad news. The good news is I

185
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 8: met this beautiful woman. She's Swedish, and I didn't want

186
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 8: her to have to go back to Sweden, so we

187
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 8: got married. And then the bad news is I went

188
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 8: to go I get life insurance because I want to

189
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 8: take care of her, and they found cancer. And I've

190
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 8: been really not doing well and I'm at the point

191
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 8: where he wanted. He wanted to give up. He was done.

192
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 8: He didn't want to sort my computer wants to restart. No,

193
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 8: he wanted to give up. He called me because my

194
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 8: ex at the time was a gun collector, and he

195
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 8: figured that I would be able to get a pistol

196
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 8: and give it to him so he could.

197
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: Oh, no problem, Yeah, geez.

198
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 8: It was insane. So he had about fifty thousand dollars

199
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 8: in his bank account and he would rather just leave

200
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 8: it to her. He didn't want to have to like

201
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 8: leave her with nothing and bills and suffer more. He

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 8: just wanted to end it. That to me was the

203
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 8: most horrific call I've ever gotten in my life. And

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 8: so I went to talk to a couple friends, and

205
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 8: my friends all said the same thing. He needs to

206
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 8: smoke some weed. I'm like, you, guys, weed is not

207
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 8: the answer for everything. You're a bunch of stoners. They're like, no,

208
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 8: you understand. He's in the news man, there's doctors doing this.

209
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 8: I'm like, okay, fine, you know what, He'll get high,

210
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 8: he'll be happy, maybe it'll work great. So I went

211
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 8: over and I brought a joint. I lit it, I

212
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 8: stuck it in his mouth. His wife freaked out and said,

213
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 8: in Sweden, we get deported. So she left the house

214
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 8: and sat her car down the street. Oh, I got

215
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 8: her husband stoned. He stopped throwing up. He was literally

216
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 8: just dry heaving the whole time I was there. Until

217
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 8: he smoked, and within twenty minutes his stomach grumbled. He

218
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 8: was hungry, and she's his wife, came back. She made

219
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 8: him some food. He held his food down that night.

220
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 8: He kept smoking the joint. He'd put it out and

221
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 8: take a couple of puffs, but it lasted him till

222
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 8: the next day. The next day called me and said,

223
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 8: I need more. I have hope.

224
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 3: Wow.

225
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 8: And so that was when I really realized, Okay, we've

226
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 8: got to do something. And his wife was afraid he

227
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 8: was she was gonna go to jail, and he was

228
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 8: and with cancer. So I had to find this doctor.

229
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 8: And I knew doctors were writing RECs, but no one

230
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: in Sokol, right, So I had to find one in

231
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 8: San Francisco. I drove him up there. He got his

232
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 8: wreck and everything was gravy. After that, I decided to

233
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 8: open up a doctor's office. I brought that doctor down

234
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 8: to La a couple days a week, and then I realized,

235
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 8: after about two weeks of being open, every person that

236
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 8: would come in would turn me and say, on their

237
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 8: way out, so where do we get our weed? Right, Well,

238
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 8: it's kind of awkward. So I went to city council

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 8: and I asked them and they said, you know what,

240
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 8: we can't give you permission, but go right ahead.

241
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: No, that's all I'd like you.

242
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 8: Just do it until there's a situation.

243
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 6: That's is that wes Halidy where you are now, Yeah,

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 6: that's awesome, you know that.

245
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: Is the first location. And then after that thirteen more

246
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: popped up or how many more?

247
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 8: We opened thirty six with two, so by two thousand

248
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 8: and five we had thirty six. We sold them that

249
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,479
Speaker 8: it was stupid.

250
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 4: You know, Dina, when when you actually, you know, invited

251
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: us down to your your Soho store. You know, I

252
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: remember walking in it was so new and you were

253
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 4: still building it, you know, and it still felt like

254
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 4: you know, it still felt like it was I think

255
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: it was what was it?

256
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: Soho? Is that the one that we were at?

257
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 8: We the West Hollywood.

258
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, yes, we my apologies.

259
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 8: We had a few shops in West Hollywood.

260
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm bad, and.

261
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 8: I get bored of them that we were remodeled. It was.

262
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 7: What was that?

263
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: What were you saying you were remodeling that at the time,

264
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 4: but it was so it was so long ago. It

265
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 4: was when it was still very very new to the

266
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 4: licensed dispensaries and things of that nature. So you know,

267
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: it was nice to see though a woman owned cannabis store.

268
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 4: That was you know, something happened in that in that market,

269
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 4: you know.

270
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 6: And that's and that what's it interesting though, That's where

271
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 6: you diverge from Nancy Botwin, is that everything you've done

272
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 6: has been legal with with cooperatives collectives under the laws

273
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 6: as they existed then, as opposed to the portrayal that

274
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 6: happened subsequent to the pilot.

275
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 7: From what I'm reading is that is that kind of accurate.

276
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 8: I have a friend who is sort of like a

277
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 8: god brother, who I've known since preschool, who I don't

278
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 8: speak to anymore.

279
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I got that from you.

280
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 7: I got that from your page.

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 8: Yes, and his name is Andrew. Yes, so he's Andy,

282
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 8: and he's in prison for burning down another dispensaries building,

283
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 8: attempting to.

284
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 9: Burn We can see why you don't talk to him anymore.

285
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 9: I got a question for you. So, you know, back

286
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 9: back then, as my brother was saying, cooperatives collectives, that

287
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 9: was that was how to run. But back then it

288
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 9: was still a crime first and they could arrest you

289
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 9: and then you had to use that as a defense.

290
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 9: How were you Were you afraid? Were you scared of

291
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 9: getting arrested? Was it something that you might welcome? Did

292
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 9: it ever happen?

293
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 8: Really? Do I look like I was worried?

294
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 7: Mark?

295
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: Never?

296
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 7: Never?

00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 3: No?

298
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 8: I mean, come on, I've been raided by the fedes.

299
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 8: I will say connecting to this little conference might be

300
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 8: more difficult than getting raided by the.

301
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: Doing a remote broadcasting understand? Oh yeah, our producers sitting

302

00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:36,240

00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 9: And all their bs and guns and everything at sixteen?

315
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: Did you have a feeling it was coming because you

316
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: had to be blowing up? I mean, you have all

317
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: these shops, you're a woman, that's just the quit of cannabis.

318
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 8: So of course I'm wearing a weed shop. The first

319
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 8: thing I'm going to do is go make friends with

320
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 8: the local sheriffs, right, like, hello, you want to be

321
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 8: friends with them? And they were really nice. I told

322
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 8: them they could use my bathroom whenever they want. They

323
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 8: were like set, so I wasn't worried that they were

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 8: trying to get me. But the first raid, I got

325
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 8: heads up by a phone call from the West Hollywood

326
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 8: Sheriff's Department letting me know that it would go down.

327
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. When you do the right

328
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: things like that, good things are going to come back

329
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: to you because you're like, look, when I'm falling all

330
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: the rules upon and all the laws, I've done this,

331
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: I've went to the heads.

332
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 7: Up, better go ahead.

333
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 8: One of the detectives showed up at our store to

334
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 8: arrest my partner and I in front of all of

335
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 8: our employees before the FED showed up, and we didn't

336
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 8: understand what was going on because he's our friend, and

337
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 8: he put us in the car, so it takes our

338
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 8: calfs off and he goes, you fucking owe me. My

339
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 8: kids want to play.

340
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: Hell.

341
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, that is absolutely priceless.

342
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 9: You know, how long after that first raid did you

343
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 9: reopen up?

344
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 8: The warrant said fourteen days. I think we are probably

345
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 8: closed like three before we got antsy and just said

346
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 8: fuck it.

347
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was pretty much the attitude back then. That

348
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 6: was pretty much the attitude back in those days.

349
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was like you kind of waited out and

350
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 8: then everyone would say the warrant says fourteen days from

351
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 8: the day it sign But can they come back once

352
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 8: it's been issued? I don't think so so I don't know,

353
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 8: Like that was the whole arguments will they come back?

354
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: I don't know.

355
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 8: They got everything? What is there to come back?

356
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 6: And that's when we tell our clients we roll the dice.

357
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 6: Either wait before teen days or roll the dice.

358
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 7: Roll the dice.

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:02,840

Speaker 8: Yeah. I didn't tell them for a very long time.

372
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: How did they fire you out? And what was that like?

373
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: When they did?

374
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 5: They found out when they saw the show Weeds right.

375
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 3: Are the billboard?

376
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,520

Speaker 3: I think.

378
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 8: I told my mom if if she could go anywhere

379
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 8: on vacation with the family, where would she choose? And

380
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 8: she said Hawaii? And I said how much do you

381
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 8: think that would cost? And she gave me a number

382
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 8: her and I grabbed it that amount out of a

383
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 8: bag and he dropped it in front of her and said,

384
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 8: I'm in the weed business and we're fucking going away.

385
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 8: And my dad was like, what the hell is going on?

386
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 8: And my mom grabbed the money. It was like, Jerry,

387
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 8: we're going on.

388
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 7: That awesome.

389
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 6: Mom.

390
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: That sounds like in laws.

391
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 8: We're not so pleased if they found out from from

392
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 8: someone else. I didn't tell them.

393
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's funny. That sounds like my parents, my parents.

394
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 6: My boys actually take care of their grandparents, my parents

395
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 6: ridiculously due to their fortunate situation. And my mom's like, okay, yeah.

396
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: Now.

397
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: You know, have your parents ever smoked weed with you?

398
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 8: Then no, I take that back. I mean by accident,

399
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 8: because I bought my dad vapens and he's like, how

400
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 8: do you use it?

401
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: It to them?

402
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 8: But it wasn't like we were smoking right.

403
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 4: Right right, You're like, yeah, this is like so Dina,

404
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 4: you know, doctor Dina, let me ask you this. You know, what,

405
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 4: what do you how do you feel about the stores

406
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: that are operating illegally? Now, you know, knowing that you've

407
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 4: had to go through so much hard work, but at

408
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: the same time you've had to do it yourself.

409
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 3: So just want to get your views and opinions on that.

410
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 4: I know it's kind of a touchy subject sometimes, but

411
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 4: what do you think?

412
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 8: I just think the whole thing is unfair. I think

413
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 8: that you should be able to just open a dispensary

414
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 8: if you want to, but that's not the case. There

415
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 8: are laws, and we didn't have laws before. And it

416
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 8: was wonderful and beautiful and I loved it U and

417
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 8: I wish I had a time machine.

418
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 7: That would go right right right.

419
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 8: We don't have money. We're fucking stuck.

420
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 6: I mean when when I mean in the in the past,

421
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,199
Speaker 6: people could come into our office, you know, back in

422
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 6: the good old days, and for you know, ten twenty

423
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: thirty grand you get set up cooperative collective, get youll

424
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 6: make sure you have a patient agreement and all these

425
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 6: all the good stuff for your defense on a golden

426
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 6: platter if you do it right.

427
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 7: Every one of our clients got off. Yeah.

428
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And and now people come in and and it hasn't.

429
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 6: They come in and we say, they say, how much

430
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 6: is it gonna cost? It's like, well, don't even look

431
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: at it. You know, our our fees are minuscule compared

432
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 6: to the two hundred and fifty three hundred and fifty

433
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 6: five hundred thousand dollars you're gonna need to get started.

434
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 6: I mean, it's really unfortunate. And I can't believe, I

435
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 6: still can't believe the states got their heads so far

436
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 6: up their ass that they can't figure out that a

437
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 6: little bit of a shitload is a lot more than

438
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 6: a little of nothing or a lot a lot of nothing,

439
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 6: which is what they're getting now.

440
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 7: So you know they're gonna learn.

441
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, hopefully those bills that have been circulating

442
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 6: up there to drop the excise tax and wave the

443
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 6: cultivation fees some hopefully at some point someone's gonna listen.

444
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 8: Well, it's sad because the black market culture cultures me.

445
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 8: They hate on the legal shops.

446
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely, I mean we all grew up with the

447
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 6: other paull No, it's not. I mean we all grew

448
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 6: up with them. Yeah, I mean it's it's just those people.

449
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 6: You know, they're gonna keep doing it until they can't,

450
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 6: and the government isn't helping the legal stores compete with

451
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 6: them like they should be. So if they listen to me,

452
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 6: have them call me next time they want an opinion.

453
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: It would be nice if they did. Craig, doctor, do

454
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: you know we've been having a called Craig. It's no, No,

455
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,720

Speaker 6: Free market open a store, if you got crappy weeds,

457
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 6: shut you down. You don't need a fortress.

458
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 7: You don't need to.

459
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,120
Speaker 2: Leave the copy weed out there and just sell it cheap.

460
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 8: If they have cheap right fours a year, that's it, yeah, right,

461
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 8: right right, as opposed to upwards of one hundred and

462
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 8: twenty five thousand in advance on your guest made it

463
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,040

Speaker 7: No, it's horrible.

465
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,479
Speaker 8: It's it's like you have to get a million dollars

466
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 8: a year to pay for your license.

467
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 7: It's ridiculous. It's just absolutely.

468
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 8: Fa failure. And they don't in the federal government doesn't

469
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 8: acknowledge us at all, and ours are.

470
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 6: Just like suck out, Yeah, suck You know what's funny

471
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 6: when people come to our office, I literally and I

472
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 6: sometimes might get shipped for this, but I try to

473
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 6: talk them out of it.

474
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 7: If you really want to be in the business, this

475
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 7: is this is all all the time.

476
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 8: But it's what do you have to lose, because you

477
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 8: will most likely lose it.

478
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not like the old days.

479
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 9: No, Well, you got to tell it like it is,

480
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 9: you know, tell it like it is. So, you know,

481
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 9: doctor Dina, you've done. There's so much about you and

482
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 9: the celebrity and the celebrities, but you do so much,

483
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 9: as we've already heard, just as you got into this

484
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 9: helping your friend with cancer, but launching pro programs, a

485
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 9: compassionate program to provide free medical cannabis to sick and needy.

486
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 9: You've got the freedom grow can do. Let's talk about

487
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 9: some of your charitable contributions in all of these accomplishments

488
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 9: that you're doing.

489
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 5: What set you off down that road to just help everybody.

490
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 8: Well, I think once you've been in the industry as

491
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 8: long as I have, you learn something, and it's a

492
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 8: little disturbing. Imagine a bunch of circles and they're all

493
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 8: within each other, rings within rings within rings. You start

494
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 8: in the industry, you're on the outside ring, and you

495
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 8: hear about the people in the middle who go to

496
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 8: jail for cannabis. And over time and the more people

497
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 8: you meet, you move the ring closer and closer and

498
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 8: closer until they become people you know, your friends, your family,

499
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 8: maybe you. And if you were to pick up my

500
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 8: dispensaries or my growths or my distribution like Dorothy and

501
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 8: the Wizard of Oz, and you lifted me up in

502
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 8: a tornado and dropped me off from freaking miss Missouri

503
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 8: or Mississippi or Kansas. Guess what, I'm going to jail

504
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 8: for the rest of my life. And just because other

505
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 8: people are in another like land for me, they shouldn't

506
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 8: do that. They shouldn't be in jail for the rest

507
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 8: of their life for for weed, for cannabis, for marijuana,

508
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 8: for pot, for whatever. The plant call it a fucking plant,

509
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 8: exactly right. So it's a peaceful plant that has medicinal

510
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 8: you know benefits to it that we haven't yet to

511
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 8: even learn.

512
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: We know.

513
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 8: It's amazing.

514
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 6: I mean what I always, what I love is that

515
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 6: you know there's this medical marijuana and people literally needed

516
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 6: to save their life and it can treat different things.

517
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 6: And then we say we have adult use, but that's bullshit.

518
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: There's no such thing. It's everybody is self medicating, period,

519
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 6: end of story. It's a beautiful plant, it's a beautiful

520
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 6: it's a beautiful thing, and and there's no such thing

521
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 6: as adult use. It's you're medicating yourself and it's a

522
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 6: wonderful way to do it.

523
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 7: That's all I believe.

524
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 8: I agree with Dennis Perone. Rest in peace, Dennis. Everyone

525
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 8: should know who Dennis Perone is. I hope you've lectured

526
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 8: about him in your previous shows. But Dennis is responsible

527
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:25,360
Speaker 8: for medical cannabis in California and therefore everywhere and legalization,

528
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 8: even even though he was against it adamantly, they were

529
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 8: trying to all uses medical use.

530
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 6: What what do you think about CCHI? It's not is

531
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 6: it even plausible? Is it even plausible?

532
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: Is that better? I explained to everybody with CCHI is Craig.

533
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 6: It's a it's a it's an initiative. It's a grassroots

534
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 6: initiative to basically treat cannabis as alcohol.

535
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 7: And it also.

536
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 6: Actually, instead of reducing the criminal codes like we have

537
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 6: now under sixty four, it gets rid of all the

538
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 6: marijuana criminal codes in the penal code and it basically

539
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 6: more of a free market in a nutshell?

540
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 7: Is that thousand dollars for a license? Is that accurate?

541
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 8: Pretty accurate? It just won't happen. They want the money.

542
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 5: It just want the control, right right right, money in

543
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 5: the control.

544
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 6: Though, what if the masses get behind it and it

545
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 6: could get put on the initiative? Do you think it'd

546
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 6: be worth trying to get I mean that would that

547
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 6: be better than sixty four?

548
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 8: I'd I have to really research it to tell you that,

549
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 8: But I mean, anything's better than sixty four? Right?

550
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, we hear you. It's it's the bay. It's

551
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 7: actually the bane of our existence.

552
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: It's awful, doctor Gino. Do you think the FEDS will

553
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 2: ever legalize cannabis?

554
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 8: Well, listen if they listen to the judge in nineteen

555
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 8: eighty one whis his name Francis Young that he recommended

556
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 8: that this shouldn't be a schedule and What the hell

557
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 8: are you guys doing so right? I'm hoping that eventually, Yes,

558
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 8: I think the pressure is coming. Who knows what Trump

559
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,479
Speaker 8: might do just to get re elected. I'm hoping that

560
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 8: might be something that'll do.

561
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, well don't I definitely think he's gonna discuss it.

562
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: No, I think Trump will discuss.

563
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 6: He's gonna lie like he's gonna lie like he did

564
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 6: in his campaign where he's where where he said?

565
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 7: He said that he would leave it up to the states.

566
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 3: Hey, listen, I'm a Trump fan, so I don't appreciate it.

567
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 7: He literally said that. Go back and look, I'm just

568
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 7: I don't care what he.

569
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: Is about a second. Get off your cousin Trump for

570
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: a minute. Let me talk ask to doctor. Do you

571
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: know a question? What do you think or not?

572
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 3: What?

573
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: Who do you think has the best strain out there?

574
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 2: Where is the best weed coming from? You've been an

575
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: advocate for so many different brands and strains. Who do

576
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: you give your like thumbs up to? Like this right

577
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: here is nice?

578
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 8: Well, lately I've been smoking what I've been smoking, which

579
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 8: is I think is the best? Uh? Is a cross

580
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 8: between this new Philifera and Tiama lead?

581
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: Where's that out of.

582
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 8: I don't know.

583
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 7: The distributor.

584
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 2: Ditributor brings it.

585
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 8: This is great gift bag that was given to me.

586
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: There you go, that's the wrong nothing wrong with that.

587
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 2: Let me ask you to what is the strangest thing

588
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 2: that's happened to you since you became doctor Dina the

589
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: big old pop Queen. I mean, it's got to just

590
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: been life changing for many years, and I would think

591
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: that it's still consistently crazy, right, It's still consistently crazy.

592
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: It's it's a world because I'm a consultant. Also, I've

593
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 8: always been a consultant, business consultant, whatever it is that

594
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 8: you need in the cannabis space. So I started doing

595
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 8: a lot of TV and film and that's led me

596
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 8: to a lot of more interesting people as well, and

597
00:29:54,080 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 8: just living like learning and learning everything that's god and

598
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 8: the entertainment business is fascinating and it's so different from

599
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 8: the cannabis industry, but they really go hand in hand,

600
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 8: and just trying to figure out ways for them to

601
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 8: blend to me was just fascinating.

602
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 9: When you were consulting for shows like Mom and Sons

603
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 9: of Animals, Disjointed, You're known as and disjointed and actually.

604
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 8: Proud of that show, even though people hated it.

605
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 5: No, well, it's that show.

606
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 9: I understand the consulting aspect of it. But when we

607
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 9: talk about a show like Mom, I mean, I've seen it.

608
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 9: There was an episode where they ate marijuana cookies that

609
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 9: I mean.

610
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 8: Well, there was a dispensary that she walked into that's

611
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 8: been on set for the season, and so we built

612
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 8: out the dispensary. We decorate it, We make sure we

613
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 8: have the right products lined on the shelves and to

614
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 8: make it look real.

615
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 5: Now, I know, my brother really likes to know. What

616
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 5: was the consulting you did on Sons of Anarchy?

617
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, big fan, big fan.

618
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 8: But you know, it's really funny. So the creator, Kurt,

619
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 8: and I met through Charlie Hunnam and Charlie's a good

620
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 8: friend of mine, and so Kurt liked me, and I

621
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 8: think he just wanted me to hang around. So he

622
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 8: told me there was going to be a weed shop

623
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 8: and I need to build it. So we were working

624
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 8: on it, but they never used it. It was weird.

625
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 6: They just had his character, the character who ran that

626
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,600

Speaker 8: hundred dollars an eighth and the papers were like ten

645
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,560
