When I'm staring at 60 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: it right now, it's it's it's it's player, you know, 61 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: it's really well put together, and a lot of people 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: we we had a conversation. Obviously we're getting ready to 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: do the World Series of Cannabis, right, and you know, 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: we believe packaging is part of the whole thing, right 65 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: because if you're gonna judge someone's brand, you shouldn't just 66 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: talk about their flower. You should talk about how they present, 67 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: how they you know, their logo looks, everything about it, 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: you know. And I think a lot of people they 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: usually do the blind you know, judging kids and stuff. 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: But we decided let's put all the brands out there 71 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: and let people really stand. Some people are gonna be 72 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: biased and go, oh, I just like this brand because 73 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: that's what they smoke every day, so no matter what, 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: they're gonna take it. But there's also people that are 75 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna be very optimistic and go, wow, this is dope. 76 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: I love their tree, I love the the graphics, and 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: I love the cannabis. I love the way it's packaged, 78 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: and and that's a part of the experience, you know. 79 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: So I think you guys have a great experience, first 80 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: of all, And congratulations on that, you know, thank you, 81 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: thank you very much.

My first business was retail furniture stores, 172 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: so learning the ropes. Then in my early twenties, just 173 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: understanding business. I literally had like four grand and a 174 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: couple of friends had a couple of a little bit 175 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: more money. I don't even know why they give us 176 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: the least. The four ground was cool. Yeah, you're like 177 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: that a lot, and we were going for it, you know, um, 178 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: not knowing nothing, just just uh bulletproof belief in ourselves, 179 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: you know. And so we went for it and just 180 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: learned that business. And then I moved into real estate 181 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: and you know, on the really estate side. Um, you know, 182 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: I really love the investing, buying, fixing and selling houses. 183 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: That led to opening you know, a real estate broker's 184 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: office with you know, fifty agents to an escrow office 185 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: and um, and then also simultaneously doing the cannabis business 186 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 1: as well. Prop So, but yeah, definitely a hum and 187 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: so I think just a little by a little like 188 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: really understanding, especially when you get into the license side. It's, um, 189 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot more really to think about, 190 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to overhead things like that. You know, 191 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: um we you know, we we made the move and 192 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: decided to open our cultivation facilities out and you know, 193 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: the low desert i e. Rants are much cheaper out there, 194 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter where you grow this cannabis, you know, 195 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: because it's gonna be shipped to a distro anyway. So 196 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: it's really looking at the numbers, like there's a lot 197 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: that goes into it, and especially in this market right now, 198 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 1: to be able to survive it used to be super easy. Yeah, 199 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: everybody's making money, it's all good. Now you've got to 200 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: be really efficient, you know, and integrated. Integrated, Yeah, I 201 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: think that's one of you guys, is probably your best assets. 202 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: I mean, when you guys said, you know, we're growing 203 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: and then we decided to build a brand, and then 204 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: you're like, but now we have dispensaries and you start 205 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: thinking of that, You're like, Okay, they've got the fully 206 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: integrated right and to to an extent, I mean, I'm 207 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: sure you guys don't have extraction labs yet but maybe 208 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: you thought about it right or you found really good 209 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: partners that can help you. But you know, again, to 210 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: actually navigate through that, like you've got to be a 211 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: very educated person. You have to have mentors that can 212 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: help educate you and attorneys that you could trust. Um, 213 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: you know. And and I again, I love educating the 214 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: market and for for people out there listening because I 215 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: think it's it's so important to to be able to 216 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: look at it and go, this ain't no geek off 217 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: the street.

I'm like, yeah, 337 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: but I'm not you know, because I just gave it 338 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: to him. And the reason why it's because he moved 339 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: out there, started life out there, and we both went 340 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: out there and built it. Um. But part of my 341 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: contract that I heard, I can't I'm not allowed to 342 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: have any dispensaries or or you know, brands yet until 343 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: it's federally illegal or until they feel more safe. Um 344 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: so I could have a corporation that did whatever. But 345 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: you know, and it's a long story. Short is as 346 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, to to to put in 347 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 1: the footwork that you guys have done and have a footprint, 348 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: it takes a lot of energy and work. Do you 349 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: guys feel that like it's worth it right now for 350 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: you with the industry changing and all this stuff going on. Yeah, 351 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: I I definitely think it's worth it. You know. It 352 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 1: is a lot of work, and we're just two small 353 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 1: parts of it, you know, because there's a lot that 354 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: goes on, you know, in the background with other partners. Um. 355 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's definitely worth it because one we don't 356 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: have to worry about our door getting kicked in sure, 357 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: for sure. You know a lot of people talk about taxes, 358 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, but I always make the point of we've 359 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: been robbed a lot of times at your store now, 360 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no, of course in the day, 361 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: so you know what you feel my pain. Yeah, it's like, 362 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: there's your taxes because when they hit you and you 363 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 1: know they take a hunter two hundred thousand. Okay, there's 364 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: your taxes you would have paid anyway. So it's you know, 365 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: it's a give off. We're not worried about getting shut 366 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: down right but also right now because the market is 367 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,160 Speaker 1: so tough, it's really gonna come down to you like 368 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: who's the most efficient and lean, lean, who can survive? 369 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: Who has the dollar you know, a bucket square foot spots? 370 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, it's the operators and operators. You know. The 371 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: DCC has is shoot out some new regulations on some 372 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: taxi structures. Being that you are both on the cultivation 373 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: side and the retail side, what is your position on 374 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: essentially the transor of tax as an excise tax to 375 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: the retailer to the consumer. I mean on the cultivation side, 376 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: it's nice, right because I think the cultivation side needs 377 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: the most help, you know, because that's you know, they're 378 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: the ones that are really struggling, you know, the most, 379 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: especially with prices you know, basically cut in half for 380 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: the most part on our side, like literally in half. 381 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: Um so I think we needed the most help. And 382 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, on the retail side, it's what are we 383 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: gonna do? You know what do you what are your 384 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 1: theories on why? I mean, obviously there's a there's an 385 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: abundance right now? Right is it that? I mean? What? 386 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: Why is the why the market pop on us? You 387 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean? Because it popps, I mean bright 388 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: Covid it was, it was thriving through the roof. And 389 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: I also often look a minute, the guys that were 390 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: good spenders that didn't go out and start you know, 391 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: buying a new boat, you know and stuff like that. 392 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: They stayed real lean or just continue what they were doing, 393 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: didn't change much. I think probably should have some capital 394 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: to sustain themselves and kind of reorganize and get to 395 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: a point where they can model it right. But I 396 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,719 Speaker 1: think a lot of people thought this ride was never 397 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: gonna stop and was just gonna keep going. And I 398 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 1: do think it will happen again, like as as soon 399 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: as federal legalization comes. You know, two things are gonna happen. One, 400 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: in my opinion, is it's either going to go into mainstream. Costco, 401 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: Like a lot of people don't see that coming, but 402 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: I think Costco, you know, if you don't know um 403 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: uh Core Martin, Costco or two of the biggest tobacco 404 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: you know, distributors in the world. And for me, you know, 405 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: when we talk about you know, real distribution, like right now, 406 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: they've got us pigeonholed into distribution up and down the 407 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: coast or in the West Coast or wherever you're at California, 408 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: and you can't even go outside of state. So we 409 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 1: don't really know what the logistics look anyways. So in 410 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: order to actually fulfill that kind of logistics, you have 411 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: to use somebody like Costco that's already got the big 412 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: trucks that they're just piling it on so they can 413 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 1: minimize your cost, right because people are like, oh, will 414 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: just be able to move it, and it's like no. 415 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: But the reason Costco is efficient is because they're packing 416 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: their trucks up with not one product, it's tons of products, right, 417 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 1: and they're all going to one central location. They're all 418 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: being held there. There's a whole machine there, Cormark the same. 419 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: I mean, they've got thousands of different products that they 420 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: distribute to all the liquor stores right, all the all 421 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: the gas stations. So I feel that once it becomes federal, 422 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna go into this uh you know distro that's 423 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: gonna be much larger and grander than the distrocs we have, 424 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: which will also affect all the distrocs we have, wiping 425 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: them out and then roll right into the rest of 426 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: the world and being in the stores where we can 427 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: all then thrive. Be if your brand can you know, 428 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: survive through the hump? Do you guys? What do you 429 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on it? I was gonna say, 430 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: I agree, probably the same thing. It's if we weren't 431 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 1: vertically integrated in some type of way, I would think 432 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: that we would probably feel a lot more of the 433 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: pain and everything that you're talking about. So I think 434 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: that us actually having quality product is going to help 435 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: with stain us as we move forward, once having the 436 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: branding and then to having actual quality product that has 437 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: the effect that works vers what everybody else of your 438 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: cultivation is being sold for your recas very small. I 439 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: mean it's small right now because you figure right now 440 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: there's right seven eight stores open, right which is that's 441 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: not a whole lot of volume compared to where our 442 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 1: cultivation facility to produce. When we come back, let's go 443 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: back to how how large its cultivation facilities are.

I 493 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: mean we'll see, let's see where the market takes us. 494 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: One um, so these next to the twenty thousand and 495 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: fourteen thousand is kind of like we'll see where it goes. 496 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: The one that we're building from the ground up, like 497 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: we don't have to commit to that, you know, because 498 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: we can literally build it and just flip the building. 499 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,880 Speaker 1: You know, she doesn't have to be an operation. Sure, 500 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: and it's a great deal just period. But do you 501 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: have the license is already approved? Everything which is fantastic, 502 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: which we've will discuss affair because there's something there's there's 503 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: there's always a buyer, you know, for you know, for anything, 504 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, especially now, you know. And it's interesting because 505 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: we have some friends that are building some massive facilities 506 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: and and we're like, you know, what is the exit forum? 507 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: You know, if if the market stays where it's at 508 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: right because it's such a scary market right now. And again, 509 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: if you're not super lean and you don't have low 510 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: pricing like you said, you guys have you know, dollar 511 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: square foot or some you know lower you know, whereas 512 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: if you're in Los Angeles right now, you're you're gonna be, 513 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, hating it right You're gonna have a lot 514 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: of people that are gonna lose their butts right now. 515 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: You can't rent in Los ange for dollar square foot 516 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: without cannabis right right. But I think that the big picture, though, 517 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: is is that those guys came in with a model 518 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: with the price much higher. Is that price coming back, 519 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: you guys, let's hope. So I don't see that coming 520 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: back anytime in the near future, you know from where 521 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 1: it was. Um, Why though, what's the flood about? How 522 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: do we how do we drop that, you know, I 523 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 1: mean what, I could give you a theory and then 524 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: they can give me their theory. That's that's what I 525 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: want to hear. So so what occurred was is licensing 526 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: began and a lot of the smaller operators were able 527 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: to get up and going, and so we had, you know, 528 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: essentially kind of a shortage on the market, but enough 529 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: to keep it stable at around two thousand dollars a pound. 530 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: And so when the licensing came out, we're out two 531 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a pound. Then the pandemic hit and it 532 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: shot up to about twenty eight hundred dollars a pound, 533 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: which was nice, that was And so once they saw 534 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: this type of capital, the real capital started the point 535 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: at this point because they're looking at the r y 536 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: s and they're seeing all kind of money be made. 537 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: In addition, a lot of the larger forms take a 538 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 1: lot longer to build out and come out, and so 539 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: what we had was a problem where all the large 540 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: guys turned on and this this money from the pandemic 541 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: has slowed down, and that's where this flood came from. 542 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: The issue is it's always going to correct itself because 543 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: it's all about dollars and cents along the way. Unfortunately, 544 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: there are just gonna be guys who don't make it, 545 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,360 Speaker 1: or I know a lot of people who said it 546 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: it costs me two inch points they open and so 547 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: they just turned off the doors. So it's going to 548 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: correct because nobody can sustain continuously at a loss, and um, 549 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: there will be a balance now to what level will 550 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: reach up to. It'll reach up to a stable level 551 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: fifteen to two thousand dollars again. But I see a 552 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: lot of the money leaving California, and a lot of 553 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: these guys decided not to fight, and now they're ending 554 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: up in New York and a bunch of newer markets, 555 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: which I think is a smart move for the time being. 556 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: And you know, because the markets over there are still thriving. 557 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean, their numbers haven't quite hit the floor like 558 00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: ours of their lower but it's still and it's gonna 559 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: go back to your analysis. Once it becomes federally legal, California, 560 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: just like Napa, Valley wines will be the most in 561 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: demand cannabis flour our products, and our our prices will 562 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: be up there. And you know, I don't know anybody 563 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: who wants to do Mexico weed or Iowa weed. Everybody 564 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 1: wants California weed. So once it opens up, I want it. 565 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: Once it opened federally, I think California will be the 566 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: primary beneficiary of that legalization. Now, a lot of states 567 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: might ban their own product to protect their own in 568 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: house growers, you know what I mean, where they said, 569 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 1: well we won't let that in. And then a lot 570 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 1: of states that don't want cultivation and all that stuff 571 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: in will pass some form of lutization allowing just products 572 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: to be imported without you know, internal growth and things 573 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: that nature. What do you think, dre No? I agree. Um. 574 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: I think that all of these big box companies is 575 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: what I call them, have came in and like you said, 576 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: they don't really know how to price or really survive 577 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: in this market. So this is just kind of temporary. 578 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 1: And then I think that the people that have been 579 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: before the market and the but that are in the 580 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: market now will be able to sustain just due to that. Yeah. 581 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: In fact, these are all new players that just came 582 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: and I feel like they're all experimenting. Well, I have 583 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 1: I have a theory. I think someone like I think 584 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: some big investors are willing because I had a conversation 585 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: with a group out of China Um and it's fairly 586 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: large group. They've got they've got you know, a lot 587 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: of cultivations and their hands and a lot of a 588 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: lot of retail stores. And they were in my office. 589 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: And this was probably I want to say five years ago, 590 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: four or five years ago, you know, maybe last give 591 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 1: three years whatever. It was right before the pandemic probably, 592 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: so whatever that was. And and he comes in, he goes, 593 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: he says, we're gonna, you know, break the market, right, 594 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, what do you plan on doing? 595 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 1: He says, we're gonna sell it for you know, I 596 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: think it was like get everything down to fifty cents. 597 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: It was fifty cents of Graham. That's what it was, right, 598 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: fifty cents of Graham. He said, we're gonna get it 599 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: down the fifty cents of Graham, and we're gonna take 600 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: a loss for five years on that whole fifty cent ground, 601 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: wipe everybody out of the industry, and then swallow all 602 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: of their assets while they're losing, and then come back 603 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: and restabilize the market. And this is like three years ago, 604 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: you know. And then you know, I mean, and it 605 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: was like fifth, and I was like fifty cents of Graham. 606 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: Yeah he was serious. He was serious, Oh he was 607 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: he was dead serious. And I didn't believe it. I 608 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: was like, ship man, come on, dude, like there's no way. 609 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: But the fact that that that's something that motivates you 610 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: or entices you to wipe out family farms and legacies 611 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: and small business I can't stand that that fact. I mean, 612 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to see a bunch of small businesses, 613 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: small people, everybody getting their little bike. I hate seeing 614 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 1: the wal martization of this industry. Well, but it's I 615 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: feel like like, you know, maybe that group is trying 616 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: to play this right now. Maybe they're the ones set 617 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 1: in that price because here they come with these larger farms. 618 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: They're just dropping their prices, losing and losing and losing 619 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 1: for the next three or four years to see who 620 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: squeezes out. I mean, that's a possibility, and and I 621 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if there's big institution money behind There's 622 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: definitely big institution money behind him, but I mean behind 623 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: it with them like just followed suit and just like, oh, 624 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: let's take these losses. So they all have a theory 625 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: and I don't mean you would talk about they all 626 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 1: have a theory of doing that, like will sustain losses. 627 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: And those frontman's, those ceo, those mead men type of 628 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: guys can't come out there and tell you that. But 629 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: behind them are the guys who putting up the money. 630 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: And after a while they're go, okay, so what's this 631 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: business model? Five years? Heck you in your five years years? 632 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: And it goes back to being lean. Like you said 633 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: that word five six times. I have a farm too, 634 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: We have a grow. We started lean because we are 635 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: family self funding. We never you know, everything came from 636 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: hard earned and um, they don't know how to run lean. 637 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: They just it's not built into their model. You know, 638 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: I walked onto these farms. They're like fifty people managing 639 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: this guy, managing this guy, and and and that's just unsustainable. Yeah, 640 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I think a lot of it goes 641 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 1: into it when it is your own cash, right, because 642 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: it's the same thing from us. It's family, friends, no 643 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: outside investors, it's it's it's all of us. And uh 644 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: and when you put your own dough up, like you're 645 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: going to make sure that what you order, you need 646 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: not think the extra no extra employees, like nothing, you know, 647 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,440 Speaker 1: and it's just probably different mindset too, right, Yeah, yeah, 648 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: so what kind of product liness you got, Let's talk 649 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: about that for that. Yeah. So, I mean we're strictly 650 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: focusing on the Flower right now just because we feel 651 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: like that's where the industry really really needs us. UM. 652 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: So we're really in the Flower right now. And then 653 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: we're actually coming into our pre roles as well, So 654 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: we have an infused pre role coming out um, and 655 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: then we're working on our edibles as well. Let me 656 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: see that. Let me see that pre role. Is there 657 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 1: one in there? Is it? Just get the talk on 658 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: the mic? Well there you go. I want to see 659 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: the package. Yeah damn, okay, see I like to see. 660 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: You're good. Down to the tube. You know. That's Doe. 661 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: I like it a lot. So smells really good. What 662 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: is this? So here? That's process. So we actually have 663 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: an R and D facility out in l A. So 664 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: we spent this whole year. We went through probably a 665 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three different UM finals that we were 666 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 1: searching through and came down to about five or six hunted. 667 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: You guys hunted all on your own. So I feel 668 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: like That's the difference is that a lot of people 669 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: are just you know, taking stuff and renaming it. We're 670 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: actually going through the actual R and D process trying 671 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, not only what's selling, but 672 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, what will actually help us as well. You know, 673 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: was there any particular breeders that you chose from that 674 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: that you guys deployed. Yeah, we I mean, we have 675 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: our own breeders on our team and in house pheno 676 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 1: hunting exactly. That's incredible. That's incredible. Not a lot of 677 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: people willing to put that work in. Yeah, that's a 678 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: lot of work, a lot of time, just a lot 679 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: of misfighters, but it makes it makes a lot of sense. So, 680 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,319 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're I mean, if you're gonna find 681 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: the if you're going to create or be a part 682 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: of the best quality you know and have you know, 683 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 1: the right the right product that you want to put out, 684 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 1: you have to spend that time, you know, because a 685 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: lot of people are just you know, they're going for 686 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: what's hot. But I what I realized is that what's 687 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 1: hot today may not be hot tomorrow, and it changes 688 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,399 Speaker 1: very quickly, and it's like it's like what now now? 689 00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: Cush O G cushes back in you know, it's purpose, 690 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 1: and then it was this and then it's like and 691 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: it's like damn like and I was kind of tripping 692 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: because I was like, what do you mean people aren't 693 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: buying O G no more? You know, I was like, 694 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: what do you mean? Like, how could you not want 695 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: to buy? And it didn't matter what it is. You 696 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: had to use the word at the end of it, 697 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: or you're wearing something that the O G this the 698 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,399 Speaker 1: OG that it had to be something olog And that's 699 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: the problem for guys like this who are breeding it 700 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: and and and pheno in it and then testing it 701 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: because you don't want the herm on you a whole, 702 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean all kinds of things. You know, by time 703 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,200 Speaker 1: you get it now everybody need to switch it out 704 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 1: on you. That's that's one of the reasons why it's 705 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: very difficult to do what they're doing. And I commend 706 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: you for that, Yeah, big time, big time. That's risk 707 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: you too, by Yeah, but marketing hype can change things up. 708 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: And here's the thing. If you're growing really bomb weed 709 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 1: and it's consistent, I believe in the end, what's the 710 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: quality marketing? You'll you'll remin it really it is you've 711 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 1: got to be in the people's face, you know, and 712 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, for us, we we're you know, 713 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,400 Speaker 1: I feel we're some of the best guerrilla marketing you 714 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: know agency in the in the industry for cannabis, you know, 715 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: because right now, it's very difficult to go buy a 716 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: TV at it's very difficult to run radio ads. And 717 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: if you are running radio ads, there's like very you 718 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: can't say, come on down to this place, you know, 719 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: And we've figured out work around, you know, like all 720 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: of us have kind of like you know, you know, 721 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: found our fair little tricks of how we can drive traffic. 722 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: But you know, as soon as they allow it, right 723 00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,399 Speaker 1: to be on mainstream radio, I think like our show 724 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: will blow up further. I mean, like right now, I 725 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: have a hard I mean, my heart has a hard 726 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,319 Speaker 1: time with you know, um adopting us, even though they've 727 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:29,239 Speaker 1: adopted us, right I mean, like we're we're we're like 728 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 1: their their step child that they kind of watch over 729 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 1: and go, hey, we love you guys. But it's like 730 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: and they're giving us commercials and they're and they're great partners, 731 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: by the way, But I think had if if with 732 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: our ratings, the numbers and everything else that we're doing. 733 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: If it was fully federally illegal, they'd be throwing festivals 734 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: behind us, they'd be And we're we're starting to talk 735 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: about it, you know. And and again, you know, it 736 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: seems like it's a long time. And for for me, 737 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: it's been like three years that we've been two and 738 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 1: a half years and we're having this conversation with them, 739 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: and it's they're opening up, right, They're starting to be 740 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: like okay, you know, and I think it's like they're 741 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: either getting gonna get risky and do it without being federalized, 742 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: or they're just waiting for that little switch and then 743 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,319 Speaker 1: go boom. We've already built a company, you know, they 744 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: have they have their their their pavement down. You know 745 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 1: that the structural is there. Now we can just blow 746 00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: them up to the roof. And I I'm in a 747 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: point where there's too many people not accepting us as 748 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: as a um uh culture that's already here. And and 749 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: but but I think half of the world's uneducated about it. 750 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,239 Speaker 1: So you know, I think you gets are doing a 751 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: great job. And and and what's the plan is the 752 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: plan to you know, continue opening stores, sell the company. 753 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: Is the plan to um, you know, just you know, 754 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: make it a family owned business for for life. What 755 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: is your guys overall gold you guys, have you thought 756 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 1: that far into it? Yeah, we have, and I think 757 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: right now the overall plan is to have twenty five 758 00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: stores opened by the end of next year, um our 759 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: cultivation facility, these and UM whenever that time is to 760 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,360 Speaker 1: sell the company. That's the goal pretty much. Probably possibly that, 761 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, now if you're tell on that right, 762 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: don't want to rock you know. I mean, if it 763 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: could be, hey, we're crushing it, everybody loves it. Let's 764 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: just keep it. But I think the play would be 765 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: to sell the company. When we come back, I want 766 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: to ask you where those companies are, where the stores 767 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: are at.

Were cultivation or well let's talk to Eachi. 786 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,399 Speaker 1: Well let's talk about cultivators real quick, because I think 787 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 1: you have less cultivations. Yeah, cultivation is let's be more. 788 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: There's there's two upper and operating. There's another two that 789 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: are in in production and build out. Got you in 790 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,840 Speaker 1: all in, Benny, except for the first one in Santa Cento. Okay, 791 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 1: got you that. That was the first break ground and 792 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: then possibly another one in Santa Cento. Like we said earlier, 793 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: with the ground up. But we'll see where the market 794 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: takes us and if there's a need for it. But 795 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: there's still a pivot moved there. That's you're definitely you're building, 796 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, So you know there's always 797 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 1: upside to that, right. Um? And then how many retail 798 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: stores are you guys?

So you got 824 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: about six of moping now you think approximately, and then 825 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,919 Speaker 1: and then by next year you plan to have about 826 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: twenty four, hopefully twenty five, hopefully all of them. I 827 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: believe there's probably another four right now that are about 828 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 1: to open. The really close yeah, really close. Aw're done 829 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: with the build outs. Yeah, I'm excited about Stanton because 830 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: we're next stor to you guys, you know, so you 831 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: know it'll be a hop, skip and a jump. We 832 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: could just roll over there and be like, Hey. The 833 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: thing about the Stanton facility as well is is it's 834 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:35,560 Speaker 1: uh not only is it retail, but there'll be a 835 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 1: ten thousand square foot cultivation there too. Yes, so to 836 00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,880 Speaker 1: be you know, farm to table if you will plant 837 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: science like right at that store, that's great. That we well, 838 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: that's and that's honestly, in my opinion, I think that's 839 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: the smartest movie people could go right right now, especially 840 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: with the market. I mean, if you're you know, and 841 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,720 Speaker 1: Stanton is not the you know that the most highest 842 00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: uh land value, right so, but I'm sure there was 843 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, there was a bubble going on, and we 844 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 1: all know that. And I remember the probably play on Monroe, 845 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:09,240 Speaker 1: which is right the next block over and that corner buildings. 846 00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: What I'm guessing because I've walked that facility and to 847 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: me it looked like the have you been in it? 848 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: The one that on the instand. Okay, so it's kind 849 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 1: of like a warehouse like this with minus this wall, 850 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: and then there's like a whole another office section up 851 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 1: in the front. And I was thinking, Okay, there's a 852 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: whole section for a grow and a whole section for 853 00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: a dispensary. I was thinking the same thing. I walked 854 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,400 Speaker 1: through the property, but you know, I was we were 855 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: right in the middle of COVID, although the pricing was 856 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 1: through the roof and everything was going on, I was 857 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: a little, you know, gunshy because I just looked at 858 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 1: it and was like, man, you know, I the the industry, 859 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 1: who knows what's gonna happened? Right with COVID going on 860 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: and stock markets crashing, and you know, your money is 861 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,520 Speaker 1: all tied up in the market and stuff, and you're 862 00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: just going, what do I do? You know? And I 863 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 1: just I went to all the meetings and I started 864 00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 1: looking at the properties and almost tied a bunch of 865 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,560 Speaker 1: them up. And then I just like, you know, let 866 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,399 Speaker 1: me just stay out this, let me sit the one out, 867 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,480 Speaker 1: you know, because COVID maybe, you know, just kind of 868 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,840 Speaker 1: back up from everything.

Um. 894 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: Same thing with the importing and actually you're having control 895 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: of the pricing of product versus bringing it in. So 896 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: some of those things are huge.

Like 996 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 1: it was just right a little. That's why they call 997 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:21,520 Speaker 1: it getting high. Yeah, Like I didn't see that cover, 998 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 1: but whoop, that's good for me. The first time I 999 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,520 Speaker 1: got high, I just felt I was going counterclockwise physically 1000 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: in the bed. Yeah. I still never forget that, yeah, 1001 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 1: because I never felt it again, you know, feel yeah, 1002 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:37,359 Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah.
