Now, what 86 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: what what makes you so passionate about the cannabis industry 87 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: and why cannabis for you? You know, growing up I 88 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: always enjoyed cannabis um. I went to college, I worked 89 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: really hard, and when I was a younger professional, I 90 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: would come home from work every day and smoke some 91 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: weed to relax. But I always felt really bad about it. 92 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: So when cannabis legalization came to d C, it piqued 93 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: my interest. And again, growing up in d C, I 94 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: know that there are still a lot of people who 95 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: are getting put in jail here for things that other 96 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: people are making a lot of money doing. That really 97 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: rubbed me the wrong way. So I wanted to kind 98 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: of harness what d C is known for advocacy and 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: policy and then the best things that I know about 100 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: good festivals, music and celebration, put them together and see 101 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: if we could put on an event that taught people 102 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: about how they could be activists in their community, but 103 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: also showed them a really good time. I love it 104 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: and it's just great because you guys are having speakers 105 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 1: as well right to educate. You know, between winds, we 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: have members of conger speaking, we have council members speaking. 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: We even have Gary Chambers speaking right before Whiz Khalifa 108 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: goes on, So they're just actually speaking right in front 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: of the crowd out there, just kind of giving some 110 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: education and and kind of tying in the uh, the 111 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: the industry educational part or how's that? How's that working? 112 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean, are you guys doing that right up on 113 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: stage or do you have break off rooms? So at 114 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: the festival, we have five educational pavilions that run concurrent 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: sessions throughout the day.

On 130 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: one side of the grounds, we have C three wrestling 131 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: on site, because what is a cannabis festival without professional wrestling? Right? Uh? 132 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: About twenty five exhibitors this year and more than seventy 133 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: five food trucks and restaurants. So there's a lot to 134 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: do and a lot to eat. That's and what kind 135 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: of vendors are out there? Can people go out there 136 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: and actually buy cannabis? Can you smoke? How does that work? 137 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: So in Washington d C adults are allowed to possess 138 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: for to eight ounces of cannabis now um for personal 139 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: use and for gifting to friends. But we don't have 140 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: a recreational adult use market. We only have a medical market, 141 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: so you can't exchange cannabis outside a dispensary for cash, 142 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: but you're are allowed to share it with friends. So 143 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: we could go out there and smoke with our friends. 144 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, everybody needs a good friend with 145 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: wade and a good friends with weed as a friend.

Like I said, 173 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: when I finished college and I was working in the 174 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: workforce for the first time, I would smoke cannabis every 175 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: single night after work and I didn't feel very good 176 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 1: about it. When cannabis legalization came to d C, I 177 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: saw a lot of big events coming here in big businesses, 178 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: But I didn't really hear people talking about the problems 179 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: that we still have in society with the war on drugs. 180 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: And I didn't really hear about talking all talking anything 181 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: about the people who are still locked up so I 182 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: really wanted to create an event that gave our nonprofit 183 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: organizations that have been working on this issue for a 184 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: really long time a platform to share their information. And 185 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: that's something that we tried to achieve at the festival 186 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: through our Policy Summit, which is a free event that 187 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 1: happens the day before the festival, the festival itself, and 188 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: then our Sunday Championship. But you know, I think I've 189 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: always been someone that has wanted to make sure that 190 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: people are treated fairly, and just seeing the disparity and 191 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: how people have been treated around this plant has always 192 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: been pretty upsetting to me. So I'm just glad that 193 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: I've developed a skill through my work on event production 194 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: that can be applied now in this space, because I 195 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: certainly can't grow cannabis. Have you ever been in trouble 196 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: for it? Have you ever been in trouble for it? 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: Kind of question? Is that, Joe. I've been in trouble, 198 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: but I've been in trouble in the most fortunate ways. 199 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: I went to a high school in d C. Where 200 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: intervention was not with the police. It was with the 201 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: school and with my parents. But I did have friends 202 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 1: who were kicked out of high school. I had friends 203 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: who are kicked out of college. I've had friends who 204 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: have been locked up in recent years. So it's something 205 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: that is close to my heart. Um. You know, I 206 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: see people who desperately want to get into the licensed 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: industry but don't have avenues, who are still being criminalized 208 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: today for wanting to do what others are able to do. 209 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: And I think that's something that really drives me forward 210 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: because we all know that even a federal legalization happens, 211 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,719 Speaker 1: that's not going to suddenly flip a switch and make 212 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: the cannabis industry this wonderful, wonderful utopia. We all still 213 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: have to work really hard together to make sure that 214 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: this isn't just another industry, but a better industry that 215 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: really does right by people. You know, I like to 216 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: I'd like to hear some of the the you know, 217 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: the charities and things that that you are working with 218 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: and and so.

UM. 239 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten deep enough here that if 240 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: I don't name someone, I'm gonna get in trouble. So friends, 241 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: RACK and Afghanistan Veterans of America, UM SO so many 242 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: amazing organizations.

Well, that was to name a few. How 251 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: about some of the different companies that are coming out 252 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: to represent their brands and things like that, some of 253 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: your vendors and stuff, you can you tell some of 254 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: those guys you have super awesome local companies and they 255 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: were really proud about some of the national brands coming 256 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: in this year too.

There's an amazing 259 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: blog in DC called a Gentleman Tooker that reviews all 260 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: of the cannabis in the area.

You know, it is a 320 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: full year process put on this festival. It takes twelve 321 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: full months um to put things in perspective. We had 322 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: our last show just eight months ago and we produced 323 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: that show with three months notice. So my team has 324 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: been incredibly busy for the past ten months. But that 325 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: sure does beat the previous two years, and we couldn't 326 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: have a festival. Um. Festivals take a lot of blood, sweat, 327 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: and tears. It is a lot of work and it 328 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: takes a whole lot of heart to bring together this 329 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: many people, but also to create an experience for people 330 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 1: to enjoy. And my team has that heart, or they 331 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't still be here. Um the sacrifice by people's families 332 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: and friends. You know, we're in the round the clock 333 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: part of the festival planning, where every day is a deadline. 334 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Every hour is not long enough. Sure, like I said, 335 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: the folks here wouldn't still be working on this project, 336 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: and most of them have been doing it for seven 337 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,479 Speaker 1: years now with me, they wouldn't still be here if 338 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: they didn't really believe in it, and if our fans 339 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: weren't so incredibly gracious at the festival. I think that 340 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: we have some of the greatest fans like in the 341 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: United States. They're all so grateful to have the opportunity 342 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: to come together, and they're also kind to each other, 343 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: and it just it makes it worth it even on 344 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 1: the hardest days.

So folks, 373 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: cannabis stuff one oh one. Have you well to New 374 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: York one? Yeah, yeah, I've been, uh you know, you know, 375 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: I've been smoky ones where they're smoking friendly. Yeah, this 376 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: is gonna be great, but but I mean, I don't know, 377 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: I don't know if they had thirty people there. You know, 378 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: I think you know, when you when you could pull 379 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: people to to an event, there's something special about you 380 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: first of all, and and end your message more importantly, um, 381 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: you know, people tend to go to festivals not because 382 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 1: of headliners or because of this, it's because of the 383 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: message that they've they've learned. Usually you have to build 384 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: these these kind of festivals up. There's no way you 385 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: just come out the park, you know with people. Um, 386 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: this is something that you know, obviously Caroline has has 387 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: you know, obviously put the last seven years of their blood, 388 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: sweat and tears in. But you know, again, their messaging 389 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 1: is correct. People want to get behind messaging and I 390 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: thoroughly believe that that's that's why the you know, the 391 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: woodstock was such a big success. You know, people from 392 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: all over the world before Marketing and Brandon was together, 393 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: it was because they had this amazing uh message. End 394 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: to be with that message in Washington, to have the 395 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: lawmakers come out and speak Caroline, that right there, the 396 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: people that like, that's the difference between the West Coast 397 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: and the East coast. And my opinion going to this 398 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: one that's yours stands out so much, Caroline. The real 399 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: lawmakers are there, Like we had to loan, but we 400 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 1: had Congress guys here and there. That's Long Beach. We 401 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: have some cats, but it ain't like Washington. Washington is 402 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: where it can go federally legal at they could change, 403 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: they could change where it all war's gonna change for Like, 404 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna change globally at our our at least 405 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: in this country right there out of Washington. So to me, 406 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: that makes this like you get to hang out with 407 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: the biggest characters in the in the world of like, 408 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 1: oh my god, these are the ones that are making 409 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 1: that change. And Caroline, how do you get these people 410 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: to come in support and be there knowing that it's 411 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: quote unquote steal taboos, stealing not legal. They're gonna be 412 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: on the forefront. They're gonna be looked at as pro 413 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: pro pro cannabis now that they're there, and they're gonna 414 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: be propaganda that way from the other side. How do 415 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: these people just say screw what I'm in. I mean, 416 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: I think that's where our advocacy partners come in, all 417 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: of those incredible organizations that we were talking about earlier. 418 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: They help us push a lot of our invitations to 419 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 1: lawmakers and talk to them about why it would benefit 420 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: them and benefit their constituents as they came to speak 421 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: at the event. So that's something that's been very important 422 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: to us over the years, is trying to engage lawmakers 423 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: and show them our community in a different way. Um, 424 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, in Washington, d see, now we're able to 425 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 1: show the economic impact of the cannabis event, and I 426 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: like to think perhaps that gives our local lawmakers a 427 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: window into what maybe one day with a full adult 428 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: use market could look like in our city. But um, 429 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: you know, however it works out, I hope that we're 430 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: just showing them the best foot forward of the cannabis 431 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: industry and that we're helping them become even more convinced 432 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: that it's time for us to stop having all these 433 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: crazy complex discussions around these plants and just go ahead 434 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: and legalize. Sure. Yeah, I mean it could be so easy, 435 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: right for you know, for us, we're just looking at 436 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: it like, what is what is the major amount function here? 437 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 1: Why why can't we just come to something very simple 438 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 1: and make it easy. And I appreciate what you know, 439 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: where your mind's at with that, because again that's how 440 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: I look at it too. We're making something so difficult 441 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: that it's not that difficult it is. I mean, look, 442 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 1: we're drinking liquor for God's safe, I mean, and and 443 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: has no medicinal value in our country. Is not ignorant. 444 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: We wouldn't put medicinal value on it and let us 445 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: spread across the country and move into all these states 446 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: had it not happen, Mom, And we're not. We're not. 447 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 1: It's it's this is the whole taboo stuff needs to go. 448 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: And speaking of taboo stuff, Caroline, did you how did 449 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: your family react with this big passion for cannabis now? 450 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean they see their daughter go to our private 451 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: college at wake Forest, and then she goes only Howard University, 452 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: for God's sakes, and then Georgetown and now my daughter 453 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: is doing cannabis. Now. It took me three months of 454 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: telling my dad directly to his face what I was 455 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 1: planning on doing, which was quitting my nine job to 456 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,479 Speaker 1: put on this festival, for him to believe me. And 457 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: my mom and I did not have a direct conversation 458 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: about it, and actually still haven't had a direct conversation 459 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: about it. She's an elementary school teacher. She knows that 460 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: its she knows that I do something, but we've never 461 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: had a direct conversation about it. And that's probably more 462 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: my own like high school fear than any issues she 463 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: would have it with it at this point. So maybe 464 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: I'll address that with her this year. Man, how about 465 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: we invite her to the festival. Let's bring her out 466 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: where she can come with us and kick it with us. 467 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 1: We'll put festival. He's hysterical. He will buy everybody's merch. 468 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: He will visit every booths, every talk. I'm just not 469 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 1: quite ready to see my mom there. That's not something 470 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm ready to do. And do you do you feel like, um, 471 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: you know, how far away do you guys feel before 472 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: you guys actually have just either an adult use or 473 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: recreational because I know there's that thin line of the two, right, 474 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 1: so you know before you guys pick that up, when 475 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: do you think that's coming for you? You know it's 476 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: gonna happen as soon as we can get rid of 477 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: the Harris writer. Um. When Washington d c. Voted for 478 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: kind's legalization and to have you know, a full adult 479 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: use market, a member of Congress named Andy Harris, who 480 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: serves in Maryland, slapped a writer on our budget in 481 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: said if we moved forward to fully implement an adult 482 00:25:56,160 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 1: use market, um, there would be various penalties. UM. At 483 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: one point, they even threatened to arrest our mayor and 484 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: members of the DC council. So this writer has prevented 485 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: DC for the past seven years from really regulating a 486 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: full adult use market, and it's left us with this 487 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: confusing limbo where we have licensed cannabis companies in the 488 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: city and then we have a large number of unlicensed companies. 489 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: The unlicensed companies would very much like to become licensed, 490 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: but there's no mechanism to do that because the DC 491 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: Council has their hands tied and can't move forward. And 492 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: then the licensed companies are having a difficult time right 493 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: now because they're having to compete with folks who are unlicensed. 494 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 1: So um, that's just one example of what congressional budget 495 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: control does in the city like Washington, d C. That 496 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: voted nearly seventy seven years ago for use cannabis. That's 497 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: just one of the ways they control the will of 498 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: the voters in our city. And it's crazy, Caroline, because 499 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 1: everything you're describing sounds like Los Angeles. I mean, I 500 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: was just gonna welcome to welcome to Cali. Well, Well, 501 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 1: you know, for us, at least, we've taken the initiative 502 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: call of adult use and move forward, right, but but 503 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: the big city metropolitan speaking shut it down. Well, and 504 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: there's a there's a whole there's a whole side of 505 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,239 Speaker 1: it that says, you know, hey, look you we we 506 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: know that the the illicit markets still here, right, it's here, 507 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: you know it's and it's not you know, I don't 508 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: want to say it's not going anywhere. Hopefully, you know it, 509 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: it gets wiped out. But ideally though right now, you know, 510 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: you guys, I feel like are going through kind of 511 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: what we went through maybe five years ago, and it 512 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: seems like you're still going through. But because of that law, 513 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 1: because of that law that you guys are tied into 514 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 1: the Harris Law, which I wasn't you know privioulydn't knowing 515 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: anything about. And I appreciate you educating us in our 516 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: listeners on Yeah, it's super important to know. How do 517 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: we get that, like, how do we drive people you know, 518 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: to to you know, vote over down in that law? Yeah, 519 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,880 Speaker 1: I vote that out and when you know, how does 520 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: that work? Where do we got PC needs statehood? Right 521 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 1: now we don't get um you know, we're get tax 522 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: but we don't get full representation in Congress. Did you 523 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: say statehood? That we have nearly a million people living 524 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: in the city and we don't really have a voice 525 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: in Congress, and I think that in Washington, d C. 526 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: The focus here is less so on eliminating the unlicensed 527 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: market and more so on transitioning them, hopefully bringing them 528 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: to the license side. I know that that is a very, 529 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: very difficult feat and really steep hill to climb to 530 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: figure out how to do that, But I really hope 531 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 1: that advocates in d C and lawmakers in DC are 532 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: paying attention to cities like Los Angeles, seeing what's worked 533 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: and seeing what hasn't, and figuring out a way to 534 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: preserve some level of cottage industry in our city, while 535 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: of course also making space for some of the bigger 536 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: companies that will inevitably be coming in as well. Yeah, yeah, 537 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen out there. And you know what, I 538 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: can't wait to go up there to Washington, d C. 539 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: For this National Cannabis Festival.

Question number one of the High Five 550 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: with Caroline Phillips from the National Cannabis Festival. How old 551 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: are you the first time you smoked cannabis and where 552 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: did you get it from the first time? Yes, I 553 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: got my first cannabis experience was in high school. I 554 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: was fifteen. It was behind my friend's house. I got 555 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: incredibly high, and when I got off the train later 556 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: that night to get home, my friend's dad was waiting 557 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: in the bushes for us to hear us because we 558 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: were late. But he scared us because we were stunned. Yeah, 559 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: you know how funny that is? You know? Yeah, And 560 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: now that you're just shooting, your dad knows. Your dad knows. 561 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: It's one of those how do he know? Moments? Yeah, 562 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: that is. So you just walked me down there and 563 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: loved it. Ah, Yeah, you walked me down that road 564 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: for sure too. I walked down I feel nervous right now, 565 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: You're like down, pops out and you're stupid ripped. You're like, fun, 566 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: we're busted. Remember came home and I jumped out of 567 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: a window with that kept so stupid doing stupid ship 568 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: like that. Well they're here, like, what do you do? 569 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: We're jumping out of the window. Why would jumping out 570 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: of the window? First question number two of the high five, 571 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: what is your favorite way to use or smoke cannabis? I? 572 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: You know, I think I'm supposed to have like a 573 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: really complicated answer to this because I put on a 574 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: cannabis festival, but pretty simple. I like bone papers, and 575 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: I like blunts, and I actually haven't really found a 576 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: method of consumption that I don't like. So I am 577 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: an equal opportunity consumer. But go ahead. You laid that 578 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: with out just right, and it sounded poetic. It was 579 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: the best poetic Justice by Caroline Phillips. Question number three, 580 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: craziest place you ever use our smoked cannabis? The best 581 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: place I've ever used for um, you know, I mean 582 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: I live in Washington, d C. You can walk a 583 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: city block and beyond federal property. You can walk a 584 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: city block and be back on city property. Um. I 585 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: have had a handful of incidents many years ago to 586 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: anyone listening that might be concerned where I had found 587 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: myself on federal property smoking or in possession of cannabis, 588 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: well before full legalization had even a glimmer of hope. 589 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think in Washington, d C. We have 590 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: people who become activists by mistake every day when they 591 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: just go to spark up a joint and realize that 592 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: they're on federal lamp. Let me ask you, We're not 593 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: going to be on federal land, are we? During the 594 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: the festival. We won't be on federal land, will we? 595 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: So technically the festival is on federal land, but it 596 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 1: is leased back by the city, so it's under the 597 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: jurisdiction of the city. I love it even better, even 598 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: better of a story. Question Question number four of the 599 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: high five. What is your go to munchie after you 600 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: get high? Oh? This is easy, dry roasted peanuts with 601 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: the sweet The sweet ones are just the I like 602 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: the regular salted tall jar. I can mow through a 603 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: jar and then I'll regret it. But like there, You know, 604 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of peanut options out there now, 605 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of blends and fancy brands. There is 606 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: nothing better than the dry roasted peanuts. Planners right, just 607 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: a good planners box. That's all you need sometimes. Question. 608 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, I know that people are allergic to peanuts sometimes, 609 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: but if you're not dry roast and peanuts. I had 610 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: some peanuts to day, by the way, I was, I 611 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: was eating them all day. I love it. Almonds peanuts.
