Speaker 4: Say, what's good, yo, yo, yo, how you guys doing.

26

Speaker 1: So?

27
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Daniel came up with some reconnaissance, some stories, some articles

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: in the cannabis world today. So let's just get right

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: into it. The first set of news we're gonna cover

30
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: is an Alaska man accused of scamming investors for over

31
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: six hundred thousand dollars. With the proposed cannabis theme park

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: now off the rip, that is quite the headline, you know,

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 2: I think just from hearing a cannabis theme park, that

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: could peak a lot of interest, don't you think, Daniel? Yeah?

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean I'm not I'm I'm a drinker as

36
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 5: well as a smoker. But at the same time, if

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 5: there's more cannabis use at a theme park, man, that

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: sounds more fun to me than anything. I'd rather smoke

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 5: some button than go on some roller coasters rather than

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 5: drink and fill all full throughout the day, you know

41
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: what I'm talking about?

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know, different horses for different courses. You can

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: go and do your thing. So it was proposed a

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 2: few years back, and let me get to the nitty

46
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: gritty of it. So, nearly two dozen investors were duped

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: by a salesman's wildly optimistic promise about a cannabis theme

48
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: park in Alaska. According to federal prosecutors, Brian Keith Cordy's

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: proposed cannabis theme park resort, dubbed a Bud and Breakfast,

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 2: caused twenty two people to invest thousands of dollars into

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: the venture. Prosecutors said investors were misled into believing the

52
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: resort would be located at a lodge Cordy had bought

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: along a highway near Salcha, about a thirty mile drive

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: southeast from Fairbanks in central Alaska, according to prosecutors. And so,

55
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 2: you know, I was reading a little bit more about

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 2: this and from the statement that Brian Cordy released, or

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: you know, it's just some of the reaction. It seems

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 2: as though he was sincere about, you know, actually making

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: a cannabis resort, which you know, you would want it

60
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: to be genuine.

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: However, you know.

62
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: He was due to a few things in life, such

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: as COVID disrupted some supply chain arrangements that he had

64
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: and among a few other, you know, regulatory issues in

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: the cannabis game. I think it was hard for him

66
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: to get going ultimately, and you know he was eventually

67
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: using the investments just.

68
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: To for you know, for personal use. I think.

69
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: So that's where you know, the the FEDS had to

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: come in and you know, and that's.

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 4: Where he went wrong, Connor, that's where he went wrong.

72
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 5: And no circumstances should he ever have used those funds

73
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 5: for personal gains, especially if it's like in its beginning

74
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 5: stages investors, you know, stuff like that. But it also

75
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: goes to show you that, you know, when these things happen,

76
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: not everybody's a scumbag. I'm sure you know Brian had

77
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 5: good intentions, was it Brian Cordy?

78
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: You said, yeah, Brian Cordy.

79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I imagine he had some good intentions. But uh,

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 5: just like in any business, you can't expect to win

81
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 5: all the time and you got to know what you're doing.

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: I think he had a good idea, but maybe his

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 5: business wasn't all the way there. Like that's why some

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 5: businesses have like a you know, the guy that could

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 5: brainstorm and come up with a million dollar plan, but

86
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 5: if he doesn't know how to execute. It doesn't have

87
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: the right team behind him. That's where he goes wrong.

88
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 5: And the next time someone may like face something like that,

89
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: they should just call a you know, blue Christopher Wright.

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: You know, he'll probably get you going.

91
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 5: On your feet with stuff like that because that's what

92
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 5: they do over at Master Mentors anyways.

93
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: So totally, totally, you know, there's I'm reading more information

94
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: on here, and its prosecutor said. Cordy and his wife, Candy.

95
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 2: Cordy persuaded investors to buy shares in their company, ice

96
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: Fog Holdings Limited Liability Corporation, which claimed it would transform

97
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: the Midway Lodge and a convenience store into a marijuana

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: theme park, complete with an on site cannabis grow operation.

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: To entice investors, Cordy falsely claimed that ice Fog was

100
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: already generating revenue through security service agreements and stood to

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: make millions in profits within the first few years, projecting

102
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: returns of more than thirty times the initial investments. According

103
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 2: to the court documents, Cordy pleaded guilty in January to

104
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: a single count of conspiracy to.

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: Commit wire fraud.

106
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: The Feds are saying that, you know, it was wildly

107
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: optimistic and in fact, the licensing and operations were never

108
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 2: pursued in good faith, and Cordy simply lived off investor

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: funds while continuing to lie to them.

110
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: Prosecutors rotents in the sentencing.

111
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 4: Damn so he was a scumbag. Oh damn well.

112
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 2: The defense argued that Cordy had genuinely wanted to start

113
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 2: the business and believe his plans, but faced numerous obstacles,

114
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 2: including supply chain issues and the COVID nineteen pandemic that

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: caused the venture to collapse. At least twenty two investors

116
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: were misled.

117
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: We will can, the.

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 2: US attorney Slaine Tucker said, we will continue to work

119
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: with law enforcement partners to pursue prosecutions against individuals who

120
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: choose to exploit unknowing victims through fraudulent, fraudulent means. So

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: obviously this this took place, you know, a couple of

122
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 2: years ago, and I'm sure it's taken a while to

123
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: go through the proceedings of this case, but you know,

124
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: it proofs in the pudding, I guess. I mean, you're

125
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: innocent until proven guilty. So you know, he's got to

126
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: he's got to fess up and pay that six hundred

127
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: six hundred racks bro.

128
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 5: He better, and honestly, I just hope, you know, my

129
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 5: heart goes out to the twenty two victims of this case.

130
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes things may seem like it's too good

131
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 5: to be true, and you just got to listen to

132
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: your heart, especially when it comes to your money, because

133
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people out here. Not everybody lives

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: in California has fucking zero in their bank account. A

135
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: lot of these people, especially out in the Midwest and

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: other places where it's not so expensive Connor, they got

137
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 5: life savings that they met might have you know, been

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: putting away two hundred three hundred bucks every check from

139
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: when they were little, and now they got all these

140
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 5: life savings, right, Yeah, and then they just go blow

141
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: it on some fucking ding dong things, you know, just

142
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: telling people, oh, yeah, you know what we're gonna win

143
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: with this business, and it's it all sounds good, but

144
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: sounds too good to be true.

145
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, And obviously it's a it's a learning experience for

146
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: everyone involved. You know, the people who invested are you know,

147
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: at least I hope they have a better understanding of

148
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: the cannabis industry and you know, how to be selective

149
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: with where you put your investments and everything. Obviously, this

150
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: guy garnered some trust within them, and that's ultimately the

151
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: hardest pill to swallow, I think, was that you know,

152
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: these twenty two investors trusted this guy with all, you know,

153
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: over six hundred thousand dollars in faith that he would

154
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: you know, make a return on it.

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: And he gave him a business plan.

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 5: But he must have been a good salesman or just

157
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 5: like maybe had something that like I just wouldn't trust

158
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 5: anybody just like that, but maybe maybe he had something

159
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 5: to well and he made him feel like you know,

160
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: they had a like, oh he could if it doesn't

161
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: work out, he could back it, you know.

162
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: Well yeah, and he had assets for for the whole

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: thing too, like he had bought the lodge.

00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: He you know, got this convenience.

165
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,800

231
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: the plant, so to speak. And we saw the headline

232
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: out of Texas that Austin PD finds fetanyhl laced cannabis

233
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,080

00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 4: Damn.

235
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: The Austin Police Department conducted a sting operation arrested a

236
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: man Thursday after he was allegedly found with both crack

237
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: cocaine and marijuana that tested positive for fentanyl. Police from

238
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: APDs Organized Crime Divisions Gang Suppression Unit honed in on

239
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: quote high narcotics trafficking locations end quote, where an undercover

240
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 2: officer went to purchase drugs. Per police documents, the operation

241
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 2: came amid an overdose surge that resulted in more than

242
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: seventy overdoses and multiple opioid related deaths in Austin.

243
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: That is bleak, Daniel, Yeah, that's bleak.

244
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 5: I agree, And uh, you know, it just goes to

245
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 5: show you like, first off, you know, we all know

246
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 5: that like a fetanol is like an opioid that's uh

247
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: man made and it's uh, it's very it's way stronger

248
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 5: than heroin. I just don't know what they're doing, Like

249
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: it makes sense if if people are trying to put

250
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: it into other drugs, but it doesn't make sense that.

251
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: They're doing that in the cannabis And no.

252
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: I just it's literally evil.

253
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 4: You think this is like maybe an assassination attempt.

254
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, I don't even know, Like I think about

255
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: it from the dealer's perspective, right, like these fools are

256
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: trying to make money. How like when you kill your clientele,

257
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: you're not gonna make any more money. And I'm just

258
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: thinking about that from you know, a dealer's perspective, Like

259
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: there's no morals in that really, but uh, or can they.

260
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 5: They could just be stupid and think like damn, I'm

261
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 5: gonna get these fools addicted to my weed. And then

262
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 5: they're gonna figure out every time they go smoke the

263
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 5: Homeboys weed and it.

264
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 4: Ain't hitting as much as you know as there, Yeah.

265
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: Exactly, And you know you gottah put in reference to

266
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: yourself the amount of fentanyl it takes to overdose, like

267
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: you're if you're I saw this one picture on social

268
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: media a while back and it was like, this is

269
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: the amount it takes to overdose. And they showed like

270
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: a little, very minuscule pile of fentanyl next to a

271
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: penny and it was about a tenth of the size

272
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: of a penny. And that's what it takes for you

273
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: to completely stop your heart an overdose. You know, it

274
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: is absolutely sad, and you know, you could be onto

275
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: something where they're trying to get their clients, you know,

276
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: either more addicted to their shit and they go and

277
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 2: try some new stuff, or they're trying to you know,

278
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: have an edge on the competitor by getting you know,

279
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: a different high on the bud. I don't know, but

280
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: either way, that shit's evil as fuck.

281
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, they should not be putting stuff like that into

282
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 5: such a plant that has medicinal value. And honestly, like

283
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: there's people trying cannabis every day. That's you know, like

284
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 5: our world is becoming more open minded when it comes

285
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: to this plant, this research stuff like that. Hopefully with

286
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: this new rescheduling business that's happening over in Washington, d C.

287
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 5: It's gonna open the floodgates for research to come in

288
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: so we could get some certified factual data for once, right,

289
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 5: But other than that, you know, they need to stop

290
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 5: doing this and find another way to you know, kill

291
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 5: your enemies because you know smoking, but ain't gonna do

292
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 5: it all right, No, yeah, be more creative underworld please.

293
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, fen and all like.

294
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: It's just you know, like I said, evil and it

295
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: gives an ill representation to the cannabis game, where you know,

296
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: you have people who may be ignorant to cannabis and

297
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: are seeing all of this news that it's gonna get rescheduled,

298
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: it's gonna be researched more. You know, you see all

299
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: these dispensaries coming out in the last ten years and

300
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: then bam, you see that news, that article, and you're

301
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: gonna be like, fuck, fuck smoking weed.

302
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to risk that.

303
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: So it's absolutely you know, bringing the cannabis industry down

304
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: every time there's an article like this, it's sad. And

305
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, I I'm really drawing a blank as to

306
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: you know, stopping it because clearly they're just doing it

307
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: because they can. And the only thing I can think

308
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: of is just, you know, pleading with them to stop.

309
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you have the police departments going in

310
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: and stopping it themselves. However, you know, it's like cockroaches.

311
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: Man, there's more.

312
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 5: And I saw that they did a city wide sting

313
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 5: now Austin, Texas. I don't know if you've been there before,

314
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: but it's not a fucking small place, all right. It's

315
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 5: it's a big especially now, especially after the pandemic. It's

316
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: become such a hub for things that you're seeing traffic

317
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: there and thank you, it's a metropolis.

318
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 4: Now. When is I've me.

319
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 5: Personally, I've been smoking weed for I don't know fifteen

320
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: years and I've lived in the La County area, so

321
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: I've never heard once about cannabis laced no no fetanol

322
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 5: lace cannabis in my neighborhood or any anywhere I'd be smoking.

323
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:04,719
Speaker 4: That's something I don't even think of.

324
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, how long is it gonna take till it

325
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 5: hits our backyards till it starts hitting our friend groups

326
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: and stuff like that. And are they mass producing it

327
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 5: or is this you know, isolated incidents.

328
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, from just the patterns I see

329
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: with news articles, it seems like it's just the the

330
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: odd dealer just fucking laces their shit with fentanyl. Like

331
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, I hope it's not like a

332
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: nationwide crime syndicate where they're you know, plotting to do

333
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 2: all this. However, I will say I think us personally,

334
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: being in California, you know, not that we're completely uh,

335
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: you know, unsusceptible to having fentanyl on our cannabis. I

336
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: think we have it, you know, a lot better than

337
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: other states where you know, we don't have to go

338
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: through as much to get our cannabis, you know. And

339
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: like we we can generally trust the growers around, we

340
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 2: can trust the dispensaries because we do have a legal

341
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: system and.

342
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: You have to do it right.

343
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 2: So if that isn't encouragement for the rest of the

344
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 2: states to fucking get on board, then I don't know

345
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: what is. Daniel, Do you have any more thoughts on

346
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: this situation?

347
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: No other than we need to prosecute them. To the

348
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 5: highest extent of the law. I am not a big

349
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: fan of the justice system and how it works, but

350
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 5: you know I don't I'm not sitting here saying that.

351
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 5: You know, criminals don't belong behind bars, especially like dangerous

352
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 5: ones and ones that are liabilities to the greater good

353
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: of the human race, right, but totally something like this,

354
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 5: This is just fucking retarded. This is this is stupid.

355
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: Don't stop lacing fetanol with the cannabis, because, honestly, this

356
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 5: is one of the most inclusive plants that there is

357
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 5: when it comes to you know what, if you want

358
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 5: to say drug use or whatever, it's it's one of

359
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 5: those things that you know, you don't Cannabis is a

360
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 5: social thing, and that's probably the only thing other than

361
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 5: alcohol that's acceptable socially, you know what I'm saying. Totally,

362
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: so I think they should just knock it off with that.

363
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 5: Other than that, I got no other words. Just throw

364
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 5: them away.

365
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: Austin p D.

366
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: I will say, I had a surgery a few years

367
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: back and post like postop right there, they fucking gave

368
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 2: me some fentanyl. Oh you were hooked, weren't you, fucking no, bro,

369
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 2: That's why I had the cush helped me wean off

370
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: those pharmaceuticals, which I actually did. I like halfway through,

371
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: I stopped taking them and I just was smoking and

372
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: you know, taking edibles and all that.

373
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 5: How they come in a patch by chance because I

374
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 5: remember al Yeah, like I had an older, older, uh

375
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 5: what's it called cancer patient that I used to uh,

376
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 5: you know they patch her up?

377
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: Nah, yeah, they would. They would come into patch and

378
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 4: then I would help them. I'd help No, you just

379
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: like stick it.

380
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 5: It's like a nicotine patch, but it's like straight fetanol

381
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 5: and it helps because also this patient had it fused

382
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: back by the way, so he would just all kinds

383
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 5: of fucked up.

384
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: Like hunchback like kind of thing. Yeah, where all the

385
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: cartilage is just like rock hard.

386
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so he he needed that and I would

387
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: just uh.

388
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: That's the first time I ever was around it around

389
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 5: fetanohl and that was like back in O nine or something,

390
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 5: so I knew this was like a pharmaceutical grade thing.

391
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 5: Now I'm guessing they're just getting powders from China or something.

392
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: Well, in the hospital, they injected my shit with it,

393
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 2: like they put it into an IV and then like

394
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 2: instantly felt that shit I was like, damn, Like I

395
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 2: was still like waking up, and I knew what the

396
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: fuck like my bot like, I felt different right away,

397
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: and that was probably you know, a small fraction of

398
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 2: what it takes for you to overdose of what I

399
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: took obviously, I mean I went to I was in

400
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: a hospital and having an operation, so they're obviously gonna

401
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: give me the proper dosage.

402
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: But still not something I'm gonna fucking take on the daily,

403
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: that's for sure.

404
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 5: So in a research standpoint, do you think that fetanol works?

405
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 5: Like for medical reasons like, did you feel like what

406
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 5: kind of surgery? Explained to the audience at home that

407
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 5: might be listening, what kind of surgery did you go through?

408
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 5: What pain were you feeling? And could you have gone

409
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 5: with something else? Let's just say, could you would have

410
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: got can you would have withstanded that pain with maybe

411
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 5: like two narcos and a talcn or what are we

412
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 5: talking about?

413
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: I had a nose surgery. I had non cosmetic nose surgery.

414
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 2: I had a deviated two deviated septums, and two large

415
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 2: turbinates in my nose.

416
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 4: So what exactly is that? So what are we talking about?

417
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 2: So it just blocks the airway in your nose. Ah,

418
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 2: you couldn't breathe and not breathe. I was playing soccer

419
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: and I was like, what the fuck's wrong?

420
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 4: Like, oh, you were breathing out of your mouth and yeah,

421
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: sucking air.

422
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and that's like the worst way to breathe.

423
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 2: And so finally I went to the ears nose throat

424
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: doctor and the head doctor yes, and this dude stuck

425
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: the little camera up my nose and bam.

426
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, your shit's grunked. It's all jack.

427
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 4: Was it growth you think like over the years or

428
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 4: where I think I.

429
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: Got hit with the soccer ball and it just absolutely

430
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: jacked up my nose because I remember waking up one

431
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: day in high school and my nose looked like a

432
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 2: Nike swoosh and it did not look like that the

433
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: day before.

434
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 3: So I was like all right, like I mean whatever.

435
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 2: And then finally get to the point where it was

436
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: like five, six, seven years later and I was like

437
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: I really can't breathe, and then we did that and

438
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, you need surgery. So I got

439
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 2: the surgery and then post off, they wheeled me out

440
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: of there and they were like, are.

441
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: You in pain?

442
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: And I'm like yes, and they're like, all right, uh,

443
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: do you want something for the do you want to

444
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: take some medication? I was like sure, all right, we

445
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: got fentanyl and then lace my shit up with it.

446
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 4: So, uh, that was before or after this?

447
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: Right after? Immediately you were.

448
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 4: You were in pain before the surgery or where.

449
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: It was No, not before the surgery, it was just

450
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 2: after because it's like they like fucking peel your shit back,

451
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: and you know, you got stints. You have to keep

452
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 2: stints in your nose for two weeks after and you

453
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: like can't touch your nose, you can't do anything.

454
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 3: So it's just like it's it's it is pretty painful.

455
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 2: So then they prescribed the oxycodons after and then that's

456
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: when I just stopped using them after like a week

457
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: because the pain was more manageable.

458
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: Wow, they prescribed you oxyes, huh yeah, for sure.

459
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean it was a the rhinoplasty is a serious surgery,

460
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: so they hooked me up with all that shit, and

461
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: then you know, I just started having it, having the

462
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 2: dose and then and then fully just getting off of

463
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: it after. But my point is is that the fentanyl

464
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: is no fucking joke. Don't stay away, just stay away from.

465
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 5: It, I agree, and then when it comes for me, honestly, uh,

466
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 5: when it comes to like medications like that, I'm not

467
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: much of a downer type of guy, but I'd rather

468
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 5: just not fuck with that stuff and develop a tolerance

469
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 5: so that when I do fuck myself up, I could

470
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 5: go to the doctor and you know, and it's gonna

471
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 5: work whatever they're giving it.

472
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, definitely.

473
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 2: It's uh important to listen to your body and you know,

474
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: be smart about it if you don't have to take

475
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: all the insane opioids, if your body doesn't need it.

476
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 3: You know, that's why we got the CUSH. I used cush,

477
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 3: and that shit helped.

478
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: And it made it a lot more colorable. And I

479
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: will say I was a pretty damn good patient.

480
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 4: And you're here today, right, I'm like, uh, I'm here today.

505
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: we have one.

506
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: More short article to read for you guys, so let's

507
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 2: get right on into it. Data suggests state legal cannabis

508
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 2: market has significantly curbed demand for Mexican grown budd Feral

509
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 2: law enforcement agents intercept the record low of sixty one

510
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: thousand pounds of cannabis at the Southern border in twenty

511
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: twenty three. According to data published on the US Customs

512
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: and Border Protection website, the total representatives a twenty nine

513
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: percent decline from twenty twenty two and a ninety eight

514
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: percent decline in seizure activity since twenty thirteen, when the

515
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: agency reported more than two point four million pounds of cannabis.

516
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: The data suggested that the grown growing state legal marijuana

517
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: market in United States, which began in twenty fourteen, has

518
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 2: dramatically undercut demand for imported Mexican cannabis. Consequently, the production

519
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: and exportation of Mexican grown cannabis has also declined significantly. Daniel,

520
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: can you touch on the cannabis culture in Mexico real quick?

521
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

522
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 5: Well, for those that don't know, Mexico created created the

523
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 5: seedless blood, the sensamia, which literally fucking translate to without seeds.

524
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: They're super big out there, a lot of them. They

525
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 5: would turn their ranches into you know, cannabis farms. But

526
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: obviously since California became like a hub for growing cultivating cannabis,

527
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 5: all those farmers have turned to other alternatives to making money.

528
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 5: Because really, if you have land out there, because you know,

529
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 5: we're talking about a third world country. Right, so we're

530
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 5: talking about third world economy. How do they make money? Tourism, agriculture, this,

531
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 5: this and that. Right, So, California was one of their

532
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 5: main I mean not California. Cannabis was one of their

533
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 5: main crops exported out there. And if you were smoking

534
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 5: bud in the nineties, maybe even early two thousands, you

535
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 5: were getting that brick weed, that bud that started it all,

536
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 5: and it was coming through California. We all know that

537
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 5: it's no secret. But the real question is is what

538
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 5: happened to these cannabis farms the good bud started being

539
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 5: grown over here, once we got it down over here

540
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 5: in California, what it ended up happening?

541
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: So, so what ended up happening? I'll answer that for

542
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 4: you guys.

543
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 5: They ended up, you know, going to poppy seeds, growing

544
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 5: some growing some heroin. And then they also took over

545
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,239
Speaker 5: the avocados. So if you have noticed why avocados are

546
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 5: so fucking expensive is because these guys got a stronghold

547
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 5: on that even in California too. Yep, all the agricultural

548
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: if you all the agricultural jobs out here, it's all

549
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: around by the same people that are doing the things

550
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: down there.

551
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 4: They're just moving up bigger and better.

552
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,479
Speaker 5: Time has passed since the sixties and seventies when they

553
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 5: first started popping up in the news and blowing motherfuckers

554
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 5: up and stuff like that. So that being said, of

555
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: course they're seeing a ninety eight percent drop in seizures,

556
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 5: but I don't think that, you know, they just kept

557
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 5: bud completely out of it, because if you're talking about

558
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 5: like their government and stuff like that, the legalizing, but

559
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: as we speak in Mexico City, I think it's decriminalized

560
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: stuff like that.

561
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: There is a culture for cannabis, just like there is

562
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: over here.

563
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: But if we're talking about movers and shakers and what's

564
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 5: coming in and out, we all know what's.

565
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: Good with that. And that's all I got to say

566
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: about that totally.

567
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: And like obviously, you know, Narcos and Narcos Mexico were

568
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: fictionalized representations of what went down. However, it gave me

569
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: a solid perspective on what cannabis was like in Mexico.

570
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: And you know the massive farms out in Sinaloa that oh,

571
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 2: of course they're managing, and I'm wondering, like what's gonna happen, Like,

572
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: are they just gonna shut down their farms? Are they

573
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: gonna pivot to try to export it somewhere else?

574
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 4: And what did they.

575
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 5: Do because we're talking about if we're talking about that

576
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: and Carlos Kinterro and that uh, that man and his

577
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 5: contributions to this cannabis deal, even though you know, we

578
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: all know the story. If you don't know the story,

579
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 5: go go ahead and watch that. It's a good story

580
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 5: on Netflix, right, But yes, the what did they do?

581
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 4: Right?

582
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 5: What did they What did they start farming after that?

583
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 5: That's that's what we really gotta see. And history shows

584
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 5: like that. You know, they started growing the poppy more,

585
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 5: they started going with avocados and other things and just

586
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 5: hiking up the prices worldwide because you know, man, Mexico

587
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 5: can grow a thing or two.

588
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 4: Let me tell you that, you know what I mean?

589
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, Daniel, we're just about done wrapping up

590
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: news you can use. Was there anything else you needed

591
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: to get out there on this whole scenario with uh,

592
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 2: the Mexican cannabis game faltering?

593
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 5: Honestly, I just think, regardless of what I just said

594
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 5: in my opinions in the game, I think Mexico is

595
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 5: in a good spot for blooming cannabis industry.

596
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 4: Mexico's very beautiful.

597
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: They got mountainous terrains in the inside of the country

598
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 5: and on both coasts of that country. They got beautiful,

599
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 5: beautiful beaches and tourist attraction stuff like that place tourist

600
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 5: destinations that it'd be easy to start up a cannabis business.

601
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 5: So if you're listening to me out there, Mexico, just

602
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 5: legalize it and yeah.

603
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: Maybe take that full Brian Cordy's idea and open it

604
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: up down there.

605
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 5: Who knows, yeah, or you know, make me. I would say,

606
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: I'm ready for an all inclusive beach getaway. And I'm

607
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 5: not talking about Ensnado or Cabo or something. Maybe something

608
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 5: you know, like Yucatan some somewhere can Coon to Loom

609
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 5: or something all inclusive, five star hotel with the cush

610
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 5: with cannabis and it's the best cannabis, not none of

611
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: that bullshit, but Mexican, Mexican grown cannabis. That's that that

612
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: someone that's something that that a brand could stand behind

613
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 5: and maybe, you know, hopefully they're already doing.

614
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: It, so totally well, before we get out and out
