Speaker 1: say that right? Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Alex A Keino

00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: now you guys is the founder of the event four

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: twenty Hippie Hill. And not only that he has a

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: store out there in San Francisco that we're gonna get

28
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: all into and how he did all this and everything

29
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: about his store and everything else. But the four twenties

30
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: celebration at Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park is a

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: San Francisco tradition going back decades now. Hippie Hill is

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: known historically as being home with the Summer of Love,

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: the hippie movement and overall counterculture of the sixties and seventies,

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: even before we were born, hence the name. While those

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: days are over, the legacy continues and Alex is doing

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: his damping as four twenty lives on. Each year on

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: the twentieth of April, tens of thousands come together on

38
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: the Hill to celebrate cannabis and all its glory. It's

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: the largest organic gathering of its kind on the West coast.

40
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't until recently that the city has made efforts

41
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: and welcome sponsorship to bring infrastructure to the event that

42
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: Alex helped put together. And we're gonna hear how we

43
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: did all that now. Legendary musicians such as Janis Joplin, Jefferson, Airplane,

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: the Grateful Dead all played free shows during the Summer

45
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: of Love, which helped cement the area as a musical

46
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: and cultural hub. You guys. Since then, San Francisco has

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: continued to produce many talented artists and musicians. And on Thursday,

Speaker 1: about you. I didn't know it. Yeah. Yeah, it was

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,159

118
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: and you know, go to high school with these dudes.

119
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, well, you know, Cubert, Cubert went to bout

120
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: and so you know, we were just you know, uh

121
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: My went to westmore in Davy City and Apollo did.

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: But you know, we all just migrated to this one

123
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: area called um what is called again War Memorial. It

124
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: was like a just a rec center where we just

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: all gathered and everybody from San Francisco and all in

126
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: northern California. We just come and hang out with the

127
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: B boys and the break dancing and all that good stuff.

128
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: And so, you know, I was in the eighties, I

129
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: was like, you know, one day, the DJs are going

130
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: to take over the rock bands. They're gonna be as

131
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: big as rock bands. And people laughed at me. Man,

132
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: they were like the at the clubs, they're like, you know,

133
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: I'll book a DJ for doing your books, and you know,

134
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: they'll they'll DJ for six hours, right, And we're like, well,

135
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: the DJs I'm booking are performing, And so we were

136
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: calling the term, you know, the turntablists just like a

137
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: pianist or you know, so as a musician, and so

138
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: we're like, no, we're actually performing, not just playing records.

139
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: So that started liking, you know, in the late eighties.

140
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: And then at the end of the day, I was like,

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: you know what that's why I end up not being

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: a DJ. You know, I just felt that I had

143
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: the best DJs in the world, and my roommate end

144
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: up being a bastie boy, you know. Mixed Beast to Mike.

145
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: Oh he was your roommate. Yeah, he was my roommate.

146
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I mean we all like helped each other out. And

147
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: there was a time where like, you know, Mike would

148
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: like leave the house and like not come home and

149
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: be like I'm just gonna kick in. The end up

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: staying at my house. But you know how crazy is that?

151
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Like that, and then you link up with Kubert, who

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: becomes like and for those who don't know, these are big,

153
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: big DJs that were like the early days, winning all

154
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: these big DJ battles that were like the fair Grounds

155
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,040

156
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,040

157
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, exactly. I mean it was amazing. You know,

158
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: we would do the New Music Seven our battles in

159
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the early nineties, mixed Master to Mike. When the nineteen

160
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: ninety two battle, this was years ago, right, and you

161
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: know this is before you know, and then you know,

162
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: fast forward, you know, we meet the Boys, and I

163
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: remember him calling Mike d and MCA and all those

164
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: guys and scratching over their their their their answer machine,

165
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: and uh he would send them tapes and stuff like

166
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: that and end up you know. You know, one time

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: he went to go check him, check him out and

168
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: perform the BC Boys, and we hear this like, man,

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean that this this sound these this track sounds familiar,

170
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: like oh that mix sounds Familion. All of a sudden,

171
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: the BC Boys are playing mixmasters Mike's tape before they

172
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: got on stage, and I was like, holy shit, they're

173
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: actually fucking the you know what I mean. Yeah, So

174
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know what I mean,

175
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: you know, became a BC boy, but he was born

176
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: to be a BC boy. But that being said, yeah,

177
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: that kind of like gave me like the origins of

178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: me doing events because the guys wouldn't they wouldn't want

179
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,599
Speaker 1: to book us, and so I was like, you know what,

180
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do my own shows and I'm gonna have

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: them open up. And so you know, in ninety four

182
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: I booked Day Last Soul and you know, I had

183
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: them open up, you know, Cubert and m expected him,

184
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: Mike and dj Apollo. My motion was on that gig too.

185
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh good old mind. Yeah, yeah, I love that exactly.

186
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: So you know, that's how I got into the events.

187
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: It's basically, since no one gave us an opportunity to

188
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: perform or do our thing, I just started throwing my

189
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: own events and then putting them on And so you

190
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,640

198
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: a way, you know, hip hop, you know, paved a weight,

199
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: you know for us, and at the time, you know,

200
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the clubs didn't want

201
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 1: to even book hip hop. But you know that, you know,

202
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: that started my career and doing events, and then I

203
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: started doing like you know, I started a company called

204
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: Onco Marketing, So we started doing all the you know,

205
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400

209
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: at the eighteen Ballpark and you know in the parking lot,

210

211
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: Shout out to chang um really Union. But yeah, but anyways,

212
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: love story short. We you know started doing a lot

213
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: of events. But I came in on four twenty's because

214
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: back in a day, um, you know, we had so

215
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: many amazing I mean we still do. We have amazing,

216
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: amazing cultural events here in San Francisco, Garneval, you know, Chinatown, Um,

217
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: you know, Cherry Blossom Festival, North Beach Festival, UM, you

218
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: know Hate Street Um Festival. And so I became the

219
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: you know board member of the Hated Hate Asbury Street Bear.

220
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: So moving forward, you know, I was you know running

221
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: into you know, um every year Hippie Monday, rainy day.

222
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: I'd still go out there and be twenty thousand people

223
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: there out in the rain, you know, and people would

224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: come and celebrate like dah, And this is our culture

225
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: because you know, we were out there as kids, and

226
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't a thing. It was just a

227
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: thing for us to just to go do. And then um,

228
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it just became this phenomenon. Right,

229
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, people tends of thousands of people

230
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: started showing up. But there was this one event that

231
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: they had was called you know, you know, Halloween in

232
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: the Castro, and they had one hundred thousand plus people

233
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: out there'd be crazy. Yeah, I mean this is where

234
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: like I was mentioned, like the Exotic rodic Ball meets

235
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: Odd I remember going to those exotic garages were crazy

236
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: as well, exactly, And so it was just a mixture

237
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: of everything from the guys from the mission, guys from

238
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, um, you know, I mean everywhere. Everybody went

239
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: to the Castro to to to celebrate, and there was

240
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: like some you know, it was an unsanctioned event and

241
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: it actually there was there was a stabbing and unfortunately

242
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: there was some like fatal happened and the next year

243
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: they canceled it. And so what happened when I was

244
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: thinking about Hippie Hill is that there was no one

245
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: helping to build the infrastructure to make it safe and clean.

246
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: And there was one time there was you know, a

247
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: point where if you know, some guy shot a gun

248
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: or made a put a you know, let off a

249
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: firecracker or a barrel Obama or one of the things,

250
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 1: but made it made a stampede, and you know a

251
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: lot of people are like, you know, it was just

252
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: people gathering, and you know, it was like, you know,

253
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen to point where something's got someone's gonna

254
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: get injured, right and there was no infrastructure. So I

255
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, let's try to make it

256
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: safe and clean for all of us. You know, I

257
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: live four blocks away from from Golden Gate Park, UM,

258
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,359
Speaker 1: so local native right here in um in the neighborhood.

259
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: And so at the time, I was like, you know

260
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: what before they shut it down like Halloween, let's be

261
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: proactive as as from the neighborhood, you know. And so

262
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: I came in as a as a resident saying, hey,

263
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'll try to you know, what does it

264
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: take for us to keep this clean and safe and everything? Okay,

265
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: so let's uh, let's get a greener so we could

266
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, help help all the trash. Because it took

267
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: him a week for them to clean up the park

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: people there. Yeah, exactly, and so we were like, okay,

269
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: well go you know, we're the first guy. So like

270

Speaker 1: the garbage out instead of everything going to landfill. You know,

272
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: we you know, we got it recycled. And so we

273
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: got that plan together and we're like, okay, let's get

274

00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: change a narrative not just you know, celebration of the medicine,

383
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: but you know, keeping people aware of like our mental

384
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: health and how this is a medicine to us. This

385
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: is a celebration of medicine, regardless of we call it

386
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, recreational use or you know, adult use. It's

387
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: a medicine regardless, and so this is a great celebration.

388
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,280

Speaker 1: worked on the since two thousand and five, and it

394
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,440

409
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: and then I call it the core culture of it

410
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: because you got everything from the grower to the connoisseur,

411
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: right and then to the novice and to the city official,

412
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so with all these

413
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: city with the city officials, we you know, took us years,

414
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, to to train them or or or teach

415
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: them how important this this event is for the community

416
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,000

421
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: original hippies from back in the day in the sixties.

422
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,760

423
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320

424
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: gets on stage and does three homes and you know,

425
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,920

428
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: is our celebration for our plan. And now now we

429
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: try to change the narrative of us. Just as Stoner's

430
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: getting out there and just reckon the park and getting still. No,

431
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: we're responsible people, you know. I mean we got doctors

432
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: and nurses and lawyers and everybody walk up from you

433
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: know twenty you know it's twenty one now, so twenty

434
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: to seventy year old. You know what Swami's open seventy

435
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: plus years old of red you know. Um, But you

436
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: know it's just an amazing gathering of just people of

437
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: every everywhere. We're doing all kinds of cool shit. This year,

438
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: we got um. Last year we had the Aztec dancers

439
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: to come and bless the ceremony of the grass, right,

440
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: And so we're conscious of it, like you're saying, we're

441
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: trying to change a narrative, not just celebration, but with

442
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the celebration with intent and you know, having four twenty

443
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: where you know, we're blessed to have and be here.

444
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: But you know, we recognized that this is native land too,

445
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: remember that, right, And that's the best part when you

446
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: do that to the mother earth and we respect it

447
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: like this and you do stuff like that that touches

448
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: my heart. You know, I got my Indian fat. I'm

00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: I mean, shit, that's what it's about. I mean, I

453
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: love that. You're getting me goosebumps because this is what

454
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: we feel. I mean, this is what we believe. I mean,

455

00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: Park or any parking in Paris or anything like that.

461
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: But we take pride in it. And at the same

462
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: time we have that, you know. So that's why we

468
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: pretty pretty pretty cool. Just to let people know that,

00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you know, it's not just just your

00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: you as an individual, It's not just your brand. It's

471
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 1: a you know, it's it's freeing the weed, feeding the medicine.

472
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: At the same time acknowledging a celebration, how how this

473
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: one plant heals us right right and and and and

474
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, acknowledging who who who

475
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: came before us in our ancestors. There were there were,

476
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, and and and you know that that's that's

477
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: that's important, especially this time and age, because you know,

478
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: all this corporate stuff is happening with the with the

479
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: with the with this industry. But we've always got to

480
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: bring it down to like you know, it starts with

481
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 1: the plant, starts with the grower. It starts with the

482
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: love that they put into the plant when they grow this.

483
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: And that's why, I mean, you're smoking that good herb.

484
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: You feel the love and it's you know, I mean

485
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: that again. And we could go get really hippie on

486
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: this whole thing, but this is what we're about, you know,

487
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: and it's a good thing because you know, you're bringing

488
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Hippie Hill to twenty twenty three, and those traditions and

489
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: those roots are still there, Alex, especially in San Francisco.

490
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I haven't lived there in a minute. But

491
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, we grew up there and you still live

492
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: there and it's part of what it is. And then

493
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: you go and you look at this park that you're

494
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: doing that can people actually purchase cannabis there? I think

495
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: they can no matter what. But can we do it legally?

496
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: About that? You know, back in the day, you know,

497
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 1: we still do this to have our little baggages out there.

498
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: But now yeah, we now we have you know, uh,

499
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, tested in legal product and so we have

500
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 1: all the all the all the cool brands that are

501
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: actually all the brands that we're talking about from you know,

502
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: Erica Badu's new stream with Bernard Cookies that's gonna be

Speaker 1: sales now this will be our second year. That means, man,

507
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: if that's what people don't understand, Alex, that I just

508
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: take my hat off to you about because you know,

509
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: you look at parks as you mentioned New York in Paris,

510
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: and then you look at San Francisco Golden Gate Park,

511
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: like this park was built folks that are want to

512
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: learn some history, and it became bigger and better than

513
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: any other of these parks in the country. And it's

514
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: been more like he said, Like Alex said, the most

515
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: expensive grass there is, that's will Spit. And that being said,

516
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: you are now throwing the largest four twenty free event

517
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: in California, let alone possibly the world. There's gonna be

518
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: at least probably thirty thousand people there. It's arguable, you

519
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Let's see who does something. I

520
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: just talk to another gentleman that's doing something in Missouri.

521
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: They're having ten thousand people there, which is gonna. Burner's

00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: to this community out here, and these people can come

533
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: and get their medicine at a place that let's just

00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: to be able to do that is something that's just commendable. Yeah,

538
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I mean it's not just me,

539
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: but you know I help spirit it, but there's a

540
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: team behind it, you know. I mean a lot of

541
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: people rallied for it. Um, let me give you a

542
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: real story of what happened in twenty and eighteen. And

543
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: you know this was this was this was hidden under

544
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: the rug and not just hidden under the rug. But

545
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: you know we moved on from it. But um, prior

546
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: to prior to for us having sales, you know, people

547
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: would go out there and you know, bring their own

548
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: weed and all that good stuff. And I was like,

549
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, we need to give uh, you know, an

550
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: opportunity to these retailers that are new reach fillers and

551
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: a lot of these equity brands and equity retailers to

552
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: come and support the support the event and and give

553
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: clean tests of product. But in twenty and eighteen, we

554
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: had a we had a fetan al scare. We had

555
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: about twelve to sixteen overdoses from fettan all from from

556
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: edibles from brownies that were given away, and man, you

557
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: know it scared me. I mean we were all scared

558
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: because you know, within an hour forty five minutes, there

559
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: was twelve people that are just like, hold on, my

560
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: name's on this one now, like no, exactly. I mean

561
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: before we even got into this, this whole thing of

562
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: of meet us going into and taking over and helping

563
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: being the ambassadors to to help run the event or

564
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: put our stamp on it. You know, people talk to us,

565
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, in the industry, we're like, Alex, you're crazy,

566
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: what are you doing you you know someone's going to

567
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: hurt themselves and you know it's over for you, and

568
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: you're like, it's a normal figure that homies need to

569
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: talk about, Like, dude, what's that liability? Absolutely? Absolutely, and

570
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: so we came in. But I'd be believed in the

571
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: in the cultural event. We believed in it, we believed

572
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: in the people. We believed that it needed to be stated,

573
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: it needed to be free, it needed to be you

574
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: know what I mean um and still be offered to

575
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: the patients. But loustry short you know with that with

576
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: that particular year, you know, someone sabotage and gave us,

577
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: gave patients edibles that were you know, untested and full

578
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: event on, you know. But what you know, the civil

579
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: lining to the cloud was our infrastructure for our emergency

580
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: plan worked, and we proved it out and we proved

581
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: to the city that if it if it wasn't for

582
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: us and the great people that were are part of

583
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: our team and the e mts and ambulances on site

584
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: that we paid for, which we got sponsorship to pay for,

585
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: if they weren't there, we wouldn't have saved those lives.

586
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: And so we were actually the first guy's ground zero

587
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: um to push the legislation to get legal sales in

588
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 1: our events in San Francisco. And so that year London

589
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: became mayor and her aid because ed Lee died the

590
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: previous mayor died, London breed our district supervisors. She was

591
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,959
Speaker 1: the president of the district, I mean of all the supervisors.

592
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: She became the mayor and her aid Valley Brown, which

593
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to give a shout out to her. She

594
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: actually sat down with me and I said, Alex, we

595
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: can't have this happen again. I'm like, you're right, but

596
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: if we had legal sales of tested product, you know

597
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, this wouldn't happen. They would have been

598
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: an option, you know what I mean. And we want

599
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: to give people, you know, the adoption to get clean,

600
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: tested product. So we pushed the you know, we pushed

601
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: the legislation and then you know, by the time you know,

602
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: we got it approved, and we got all the city

603
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: departments locked in and they approved, from health department to

604
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: the DPT, to the fire department, to the police department,

605
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, public works, everybody across the board to sign

606
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: off on it. And so we started the pilot program

607
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: for events in cannabis. And so what happened after you

608
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: got approved the next year, We're like, okay, we're gonna

609
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 1: be the first one to do sales, but all the

610
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 1: city departments didn't have the regulations locked in yet, and

611
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,760

00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: their flowers right for the best, you know, for all

662
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: the work they've done for the whole year. And you know,

663
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: I always looked up to Tim as like, you know,

664
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: Tim is one of the guys, like he's like one

665
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: of the how can I say, he's like Bill Graham

666
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: of weed right, that's I mean, you know, Tim, Tim,

667
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: Tim has been doing it for for several years now,

668
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: in you know, decades, and so you know, and of

669
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: course when it wasn't cool and illegal, big time, big time,

670
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and of course you know, you know,

671
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: they push the envelope and you know, they gave us inspiration.

672
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: Um and if it was it was it was us

673
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: going up northcause Hippie Hill has been going around already, right,

674
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: but to have a real event where there's actually performances

675
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 1: that you know, we're really sanctioned and all that good

676
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: stuff and and their infrastructure, what they brought up up north.

677
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: It was really inspiring where what Hippie Hill can be

678
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: because you know, Hippie Hills is just a consumption event.

679
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: But now we're doing sales now, but having that b

680
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: to be and be able to support all those farmers

681
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: up there. I just love those guys, you know, Taylor,

682
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: and you know again, you know, there's so many good

683
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,320
Speaker 1: events out there, but it's Taylor right there on my

684
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: show set and behind me. Ironically, Oh wow, how random

685
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 1: is that? I used to picture. My media gave me

686
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: this picture and I wish I could this interview next time.

687
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: We'll do another interview after this, you know what I mean,

688
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: I'll come down to this, to the to the set.

689
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, Taylor, they're they're they're amazing. I don't

690
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: know what they're giving me. They're like, Alex Man, we

691
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: appreciate you, um, because you know, we were trying to

692
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: support them in any way they can. And I told

693
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 1: them were I'm open arms, I'm open phone, open ear,

694
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: whatever they need from us. If they need me to

695
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: come and you know, come come help them out out

696
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: in their farm I'm down to do it. But I

697
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: love those guys. I mean, they're they're really a strong

698
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: group of people that we adore because it's just fun.

699
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: Because as we talk on this show, we always give

700
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: props to the Bay Area for always pushing out the

701
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,240
Speaker 1: best cannabis and not only that. In my opinion, Alex,

702
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: you're down, dear damn near doing one of the best

703
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 1: events that there is out there, and you know, taking

704
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: an event to make it safe, especially for the community.

705
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: It's guys like you that you know, need to receive

706
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: awards like this. You need to be recognized like this

707
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: because it's not normal for somebody to say, I'm going

708
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: to spend my time effort, and time is money, and

709
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: then your money to put into something that your community

710
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 1: is going to benefit from. Because you're right, that culture

711
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: that's there is ridiculous, it's amazing. It's you know, you

712
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: got the Russians, you got the Armenians, you got the Filipinos,

713
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: you got the Blacks, you got the Mexicans. It's a

714
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,720
Speaker 1: mecca of people there, and they have all these little

715
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: pockets there right around the park. And then you got

716
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: the hippies and you got everybody's just I get chills

717
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 1: right now when I think about it, because it's not

718
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: easy to do something like that around an area that

719
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: some people will be like, well, who's going to do

720
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: this and who are you? And for you to be

721
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: the local that gets that support from that community, that

722
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 1: just says more words about you that aren't said than anything.

723
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: Because you had to work all the politicians. You had

724
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: to go in there and get in tight with the

725
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: mayor for God's sakes, that approves it. Supervisor. Yeah at

726
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: the time, but yeah, absolutely, you know, but yeah, I

727
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: appreciate the words, you know, I mean, there was there

728
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: was a lot of there was a lot of education

729
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: that that need needed within the city departments. Right and

730
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: again like we were, we were the uncontrollable event that

731
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: they dreaded every year. All this, you know, the the

732
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: parking situation, the traffic. You know, you're taking about thirty

733
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: forty thousand people out there in the park where there's

734
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: no infrastructure and so people are pissing the barten and

735
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: then walk and take a bus and getting now uber

736
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: and exactly. So yeah, you know, thank you for the words, man.

737
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,759

Speaker 1: make it happen. But there's a big team and a

745
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: lot of people behind this thing. And I can't even

746

Speaker 1: so are we. I'm sure we were at events together,

751
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,800

752
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,480

753
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: do a lot of interviews, and you know, it's so

754
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: comfortable to do an interview with you because you're run

755
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,440

00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: the plants always always merged, merged that good energy and

916
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: and and broke brand. Yeah, it's something I want to

917
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: mention that we kind of talked to off air, but

918
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: you've mentioned it a little bit here as well. You've

919
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: called it medicine, and you know on our show, well

920
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: you don't know if you know, but I told you I,

921
00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: me and Blue we like to call it medicine. I

922
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: like to look at the research and I want more research.

923
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: And I wanted to get to a point where you know,

924
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: you got a headache and your two hundred pounds, just

925
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: like you know, you need to take three advils, take

926
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 1: three pills with this amount of THC in it, and boom,

927
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: you're free of it. You know. So it's not just

928
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: a matter of smoking joints. Those who want to smoke

929
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: recreationally feel free, God bless. Don't get me wrong. I

930
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: just really look at this plant like it's real medicine

931
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 1: because I've seen it work anecdotally on so many people,

932
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:31,840
Speaker 1: from the cancers to the arthritis to the psychopanes of

933
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: wanting to commit suicide and doing better and everything else where.

934
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,439
Speaker 1: Did that love for you, because I know you look

935
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: at it that way too, come from well first and foremost, man.

936
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it wasn't for the plan in hip hop, man,

937
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here, you know. I mean, you know,

938
00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: during the you know, managing the guys and traveling the world.

939
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: I mean we rock start out, and you know we

940
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: got on heavy drugs. You did more most in a

941
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: little bit exactly. You know, at the end of the day,

942
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,000
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I was I was smoking a

943
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 1: pack of a pack and a half of new parts

944
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: every day. But what got me off sticking red? But yeah,

945
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,400
Speaker 1: got me off cigarettes? Or was me you know, trimming

946
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: my jack a rearer that I grew and took the

947
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: took the shake and rolled up a you know, twenty

948
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: of them, and so I said, fuck it, I'm not

949
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna buy those cigarettes no more. I'm just gonna smoke

950
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: my trim. So you know, as a as a smoker,

951
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 1: you always want that burn in your lungs. And you

952
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: know it's a social thing too when you're smoking or

953
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: you're stressed. So you know what got me off of tobacco, bro,

954
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: is that those those those those shape joints. Wow. And

955
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't finish it because it was so nasty. I mean,

956
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean it tasted bed in the tobacco though, you know,

957
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: but it got me up. I was smoking for fifteen

958
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: years and it got me stopped smoking brow and you know,

959
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 1: and then I started doing only bloods and then it

960
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: weeded me off of bloods, so I only smoke joints now.

961
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: But prior to that, like, I mean, it saved me. Um.

962
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I expressed it to you, but

963
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: I lost three of my aunts and my dad through cancer.

964
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm s and and and through and through

965
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: their end of of of of of their lives. Um.

966
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: You know, my dad was in the military, right, typical

967
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: Filipino dad. You know, he was, you know, thirty years

968
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: in the military in the Navy. So he was you know,

969
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: he was stationed you know, um, you know in one

970
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: hundreds point and you know on hundreds point was a

971
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: fucking cess pull of fucking you know, it's a it's

972
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 1: a it don't go past seven pm. Yeah, but dad, yeah,

973
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 1: but it's it was, but it's it was toxic that

974
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: the grounds in the in the bay right there was toxic.

975
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: So we don't know how we got cancer and all that.

976
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: But you know, my dad was a very you know,

977
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: I would i would hide all my weed stuff, and

978
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, he would catch me with some weed on

979
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: me and I'd blame my best friend of DJ Apolo

980
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: or something that's Apolo's weed, you know what I mean.

981
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, when when when

982
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: my dad was going through cancer, you know, and I

983
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: was like, hey man, this is a medicine. And he

984
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: was like he finally listened to me, and he was

985
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: like it gave him some. And then one day he

986
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: called me up and he said, hey, come back and

987
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: bring some more edibles. I was like, I'm getting goosemug.

988
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: Because the quality of life, it helped him, the quality

989
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 1: of life towards his end of his his you know,

990
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, he died of FuMB cancer. Right. But um,

991
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,280
Speaker 1: but you know, for him to be like the strict

992
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: militant army you know, I mean navy, you know, guy

993
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: to be like no drugs and no thing, for him

994
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 1: to be like, yo, sudden, can you come give me

995
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: some more medicine something. It was. It was touching. And

996
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 1: even my aunt, you know, she started taking taking a

997
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: cannabis for you know, when they're doing her chemo and

998
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But it was just an amazing, amazing

999
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: transition for them to understand and finally learned that, you know,

1000
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: it is a medicine because my dad didn't have no

1001
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 1: appetite you know when they're going through chemo, right, and

1002
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: so it would give them an appetite for him to

1003
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: eat again and and so he could survive the next

1004
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: day to the next day. But you know again, um, yeah,

1005
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: I lost you know, three of our loved ones, you know,

1006
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 1: to catch and there's multiple other people you've seen cannabis

1007
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: help people firsthand that are your immediate family members. You're like, dude,

1008
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: this is a real medicine for sure. One and again

1009
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: like I'm a testimonial for it too. Like if it

1010
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 1: wasn't for that, like I said, I mean, I'd be

1011
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: strung out on something or thing and you know, I

1012
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: could actually talk about it. People are like, oh, how

1013
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 1: can you easily talk about it because I could recovered, right, yeah,

1014
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: because you're like a lot of people don't talk about

1015
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: their their demons and you know, their their addictions. But

1016
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, you know, as a kid, you know, especially

1017
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: like you know, growing up and you know, as Generation X,

1018
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,359
Speaker 1: our generation, there was no such thing as mental health,

1019
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: like a awareness like you were push awareness that didn't exist.

1020
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: You had to just deal with the ship. And you know,

1021
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 1: when people are like, oh shit, you know this guy

1022
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,759
Speaker 1: Kim in suicide, you know, when you're fucking and then

1023
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 1: nineties some Kim in suicide, Like damn, that's weird. He

1024
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: was like, man, you just have to be strong. But

1025
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 1: in reality, man, like we were going through a lot

1026
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 1: of fucked up shit and honestly, man, that jointing, that

1027
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: that that good herb like saved us. You know, like

1028
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, and like you know, um

1029
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: and to this day, you know, even after this COVID thing,

1030
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: people are still messed up in the head. And you know,

1031
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: I think the medicine is just here to support and

1032
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: love us. You know, and you know, we just have

1033
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: to now. I just believe that the way I smoke

1034
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: now is not just getting high, but it's with intention.

1035
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: And you mentioned that in our last conversation, and you know,

1036
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it really touched me, you know

1037
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: when you told me about it, and like, you know,

1038
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: when I talk about people and doing it, like Alex Man,

1039
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: you're getting too hippie on me, and when they get older,

1040
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 1: like Alex Man, I smoked the joint I had meditated.

1041
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: I said, hey, man, and smoking this joint for with

1042
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: intent to like you know, clear my head and have

1043
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: a better day. And you're like, it fucking works. I'm like, yeah,

1044
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: it does many Like you know what I mean that

1045
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,279
Speaker 1: people don't realize, like that's cool to get high. But

1046
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: regardless of the recreational side of it. Man, you're smoking

1047
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: and you're you're taking in medicine. Yeah, I told you,

1048
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 1: I use it all for medicine. I don't just recreate.

1049
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I have this feeling, that feeling, this

1050
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,840
Speaker 1: is what I'm using. I'm just you know, it's not

1051
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: doctor recommended for this or that yet, but there's so

1052
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: much anecdotal proof of what it's doing, especially on the

1053
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: CBD side, and these creams and rubs and these nighttime

1054
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: make you sleepy. It's like, dude, it's better than popping

1055
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: all kinds of other pills exactly, brother. I mean, shit, man,

1056
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: the pharmaceutical thing, that's just another animal man or you

Speaker 1: you know, um and you know, you know, it's interesting

1059
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 1: like when we talk about Hippie Hill. You know, Hippie

1060
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: Hill was like the ground zero of mushrooms, ground zero

Speaker 1: of LSD, the ground zero of cannabis. Now right there too.

1072
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: That yeah, you know, call it what it is. It's

1073
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: just what it is. Just like telegraphing Berkeley. You go

1074
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: to telegraphing Berkeley, You're gonna be able to score whatever

1075
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: you want there too. Yep, exactly, you know what I mean.

1076
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,000
Speaker 1: It's like there's there's spots in the bay that if

1077
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, you know, yep, exactly know you're right. And

1078
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: Hippie Hill, man it again, it's like, you know, you know,

1079
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: we're blessed to just be be the ambassadors to help

1080
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 1: make sure that it's still around in this gathering of

1081
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: the celebration of the plant is there. But you know,

1082
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean there's so much history. I mean, if you

1083
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: walk around the every Sunday, there's a there's a drum

1084
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: circle and so people gather in the drums on Hippie Hill,

1085
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: and there's a crossroads of a path and right in

1086
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: the middle of the crossroad there's a pinion of a

1087
00:53:53,520 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: peace sign and it's been there forever like as long

1088
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: as I can remember. But right next to that, if

1089
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: you look down and in this you know, in the

1090
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: in in the early early spring, there's this tree that

1091
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: looks like with no no leaves or nothing, right like

1092
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: you know in the wintertime, you know, I mean it

1093
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: drops all its leaves, but it's the Janis Joplin tree. Yeah.

1094
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: So if you've noticed, if you come to Hippie Hill,

1095
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: we have it barricaded and all that stuff to save it.

1096
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: But there's so much rich, rich history. Like I said,

1097
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: you know, you mentioned earlier in the show, you know,

1098
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: Jefferson Airplane to you know, Janis Choplin to you know,

1099
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: Robin Williams. I mean, they all lived, They all you know,

1100
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: took their shoes off and took their socks off and

1101
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: grounded in that grass, you know what I mean, And

1102
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 1: and and and took in the medicine with intention, and

1103
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 1: gathered and play drums and you know, in that whole

1104
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: free love type of thing. It was. It was, it's

1105
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: all real, you know. And and so now you guys

1106
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 1: are doing pay per view. Man, how long and hard

1107
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 1: was that to get that going? Oh yeah, man, that's

1108
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: just another animal, right and so that shout outs to

1109
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: be BLK prime Um. So yeah, So basically what we

1110
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, where we will you know, because a lot

1111
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: of people don't have the opportunity to come to San Francisco,

1112
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 1: and especially especially people in the industry now for twenty

1113
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 1: and every locale is their. It's their celebration, right, it's

1114
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: their it's their New Year's Eve, it's their Christmas Eve,

1115
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: it's their you know, it's high hard. It's hard for

1116
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: people to leave their dispensary that's in la or somewhere

1117
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: else in Sacramento or even close by, to leave their

1118
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: store and be like, I can't go to Hippie Hill.

1119
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:30,399
Speaker 1: But now we'll be able to offer that opportunity where

1120
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: people could witness the you know what we've been doing,

1121
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: you know for years and for decades, you know, because

1122
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people, like I said, even like people

1123
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: that are in the Bay, you know, it's it's it's

1124
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:43,040
Speaker 1: the little trick to go out to Hippie Hill and

1125
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: deal with all these people. You know, tends out or

1126
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 1: gil Roy or your way East Bay. You're stocked in

1127
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: like you know, I mean, you don't want to come

1128
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: all the way maybe exactly, but if you do have

1129
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: an opportunity, it's it's a special thing. I think that

1130
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: any wheat smoker, one time in their life has to

1131
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: come to Hippie Hill. And for twenty well, I can't

1132
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 1: wait to be a part of it. Someday with you

1133
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:05,880

1134
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,840

1135
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,320
Speaker 1: get your ass in the studio and take it with

1154
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: just just excited about the movement on all these other

1155
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: retailers and brands. But you know, right now it's a

1156
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: it's a hard time for for cannabis, you know what

1157
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the markets, you know, and you know, you

1158
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: know how it is. It's overregulated and overtaxed. Oh yeah,

1159
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 1: it's so hard to go on out and have a

1160
00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: good time. Alex. We like to do with the high

1161
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: five with everybody that comes on the show. So I'm

1162
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: gonna ask you five simple questions. Question number one is

1163
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 1: how are you the first time you smoked cannabis and

1164
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: where'd you get it from? Okay, my first time I smoked,

1165
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: and I finally told my parents. But I was around navy,

1166
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 1: around seven years old. And my my I call him uncle,

1167
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: but he's like my cousin. But uncle Lloyd and my

1168
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,880
Speaker 1: cousin David. We're growing these massive fucking plants in their backyard.

1169
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: And I would go to their house and I would

1170
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: sneak out in their backyard and I would just pick

1171
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: on the leaves and pick on the you know, uncured

1172
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: but and I would put it in you know what

1173
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: I mean, and grab it and take it and I

1174
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: would just I would roll it into like in toilet paper.

1175
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: I would roll it in toilet paper. And that's the

1176
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: first time I ever smoked to join. I tried it.

1177
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: I put it in fucking toilet paper and I smoked

1178
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: it and I got high, and I was like, holy shit.

1179
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 1: But I watched my cousins. You were like, oh, you

1180
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: can't come in here. These the my cousin used to

1181
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 1: have you know these you know, the velvet posters with

1182
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: the blue lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So they had like

1183
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 1: earth wind and fire and all this, and I would

1184
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: sneak in his room and I'd be like, what are

1185
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: these seeds and stuff like that, and I would steal,

1186
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: you know, grab a joint from him. But that's the

1187
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: first time I actually joined. It was like, you know,

1188
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: him smoking it, and I didn't know what the papers were,

1189
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: so I was like it must be Yeah. So I

1190
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: was like seven years old. We're like, you know what

1191
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like just experiment and being a fucking idiot, right,

1192
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: but you know, so but then, you know, I hope

1193
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 1: that he didn't notice because I was eventually taking branches

1194
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: off of it, you know what I mean. And so

1195
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: it was like, you know, going to my cousin's house.

1196
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: But then, um, first time we actually copped, I was

1197
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 1: like about ten to eleven years old, and we used

1198
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,840
Speaker 1: to go to Hate Street. Ye back then we used

1199
00:59:11,840 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 1: to call it. They used to call an eighth a lid, right,

1200
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: like a copye lid. And you're like, oh, we're gonna

1201
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:19,840
Speaker 1: go cop a lid, and you know, you know, and

1202
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: so we would get and you know, we would get

1203
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five cent you know, hits of acid.

1204
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,640
Speaker 1: And so we would go and get like an ounce

1205
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: of you know, a brown weed and a little sheet

1206
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: of acid, maybe like fifteen hits or something, and we

1207
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: would cut them up in half and we'd sell them

1208
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: for a dollar each. We get it for twenty cents

1209
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: or twenty five cents, and then we would roll the

1210
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: joints and we would get it for like, I don't know, cheap,

1211
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: like five bucks, right, And then we would roll these

1212
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: joints and sell them for a dollar each, and we

1213
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: would make like twenty thirty bucks. And like for us,

1214
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 1: we're like twelve thirty years old, thirty bucks is like everything.

1215
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: And so that being said, yeah, it that was the

1216
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: first time I actually copped was on Haight Street going

01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 1: time back in the day before this is and this

1264
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: is another one before nine to eleven. So you know,

1265
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: before an Alam, we used to get on the plane

1266
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: and I was like feeding. I was, I think we're

1267
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: going to Europe or something, but you know, Kubert and

1268
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 1: mixed mess of waking them and I was like, man,

1269
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: I need to smoke a joint. But what it is

1270
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: that you know in the airplane, if you leave the

1271
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: sink and you put the drain down, there's a little

1272
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,640
Speaker 1: air that goes to sucks it in, So you leave

1273
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: it open. You take a joint, you light it, and

1274
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you leave it right there, and then when you blow out,

1275
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: you blow it out on the toilet because the door,

1276
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: the doorlet sucks out too, so you blow it out

1277
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 1: to the toilet. You leave the joint in the sync

1278
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: with the thing open. And you could take two three

1279
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 1: hits and be able to thing. So the airplane was

1280
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 1: my my one joints too. Wow, the ones back, yeah, bro,

1281

Speaker 1: I gut would like yeah, because they had vacuum rate

1282
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: for the for the air and so the toilets would

1283
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,600
Speaker 1: be vacuumto every time it plush, I just blow out

1284
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: the airplane. And probably that Jay Leno thing that's probably

1285
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:40,560
