Speaker 1: uh um all to be here with you. It was

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: great to have you here in Santa Rose. I mean,

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: I want to get to the immediate. Of course, walk

45
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: me through all this because I have not yet one

46
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: on one about uh. So, we were just sitting around

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: some friends talking about how we could emulate what they

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: do with the county fairs, you know, the celebration of

49
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the Paul Harvest Friendly Competition. We disguised it as a

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: couple of birthday parties. Everybody thought we'd get busted, and

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: we went for it, and uh a couple of endies,

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: a couple hundred people, most of people in math and

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: mostly were counting on us getting busted, and uh for

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: us to be able to pull that off without getting

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: busted as in a miracle. And then of course moved

56
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: on from there. The second, third, and fourth years got

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. We eventually moved to Humble one year

58
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: and then to Santa Rosa. And who would have ever

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: thought that it would turn into the event that it

60
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: is today. And as you mentioned, the event that it

61
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: is today, you have quite a line up two days

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: first off Saturday and Sunday the eleven and both, which

63
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: is gonna be amazing in December. I feel like every

64
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: act is gonna be here at this event. You guys

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: are bombarding it with so much talent. You know, my manager,

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: she managed Michael Prompting and Spirithead for years, Maddie, Uh,

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Maddie came in the Northern Nights guy, and they really

68
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time trying to curate something that

69
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: we always like having kind of the hip music, not

70
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: just the stars or I think we just want to

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: have the coolest music out there. So if you look

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: at this lineup and all the people coming in, um,

73
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: really I'm really excited about it. And uh, you know

74
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: Trevor Hall and Iri and Free Creatures and dumps the

75
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: phone and just uh under drums and uh big wild

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Mr Carmack. It's just a it's a great something Fordy

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of fun and uh that's what it is.

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: People just want to get out and have fun. They've

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: been beat up, isolated, COVID, you know, the crushing out

80
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: of markets, everything coming at them, and they just want

81
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: to just cut loose and have a good time. Yeah,

82
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a there's a huge disconnect from

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: from you know, all of us being shut down and

84
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: now we have this opportunity to finally come back. So

85
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: it's just, you know, it seems like we went from

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: twenty miles an hour is some of us down to

87
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: zero and then all the way to a hundred and

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: fifty miles an hour and we're racing around time because

89
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: this this year went through came back, I mean came

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: back so fast. Uh. It kind of made me, you know,

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: reflect back to how much work is out there and

92
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: how how events are, how many events we actually go to,

93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: and what we really do and maybe slow down and

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: realize and respect of life a little bit. You know,

95
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: with your event coming up, have you noticed like an

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: influx of of of vendors, more people, uh this this

97
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: year versus the previous years. Well, it's a big change.

98
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: Um our industry is going through a very very tumultuous

99
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: time right now. Uh, it's really turning over and uh

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: a lot of the brands that have been this past

101
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: we're not gonna be. There a lot of events coming

102
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: in and we're we're sadly an extinction event in many

103
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: ways for our cannabis industry, for the small farmers, uh,

104
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: for the product companies, for the big brands. So um,

105
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: it's really uh, you know, it's just a wild ride

106
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: to be part of these days. It really is. And Tim,

107
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, I look back and think eighteen years ago,

108
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: as you say, something gone, some are new, But I

109
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: mean sitting there with a group of friends thinking can

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: we do some type of event with out selling deep

111
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: fried Oreo cookies and big old turkey legs and all

112
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: this thing. The fact that you thought of it like

113
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: a fairgrounds event. Now you're having ton of vendors out

114
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: there with acts. And in that I mean, did you

115
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: dissipated going this way or was there a change in

116
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: those eighteen years ago? We can make this even bigger.

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm an old outlaw. I'm almost five

118
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: years old. We started off with this. It was still

119
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: wild at the time. Nobody could even conceive of us

120
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: doing it. High times didn't come in from Europe for

121
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: I think seven or eight years later. We were really

122
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the only event that was was really willing to you know,

123
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: step out. Um. We just wanted to pull it off

124
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: and have a competition and and go forward. We I

125
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: never really see becoming this size until Don Forgotos from

126
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Skunk magazine came one year about years ago and said

127
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: he was a show called Spanabus that we could emulate.

128
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: Again times wasn't even here at the time, so we thought, okay,

129
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: we step off and do that. We did one really

130
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: sell out show at Humble, and then we took a

131
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: flyer and decided onto the Snuma County Fairgrounds because we

132
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: couldn't get a place in Mendocino where the triangle and uh,

133
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: we did a twenty two page proposal. They told us

134
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 1: if we emulated a cannabis country fair and did it

135
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: really you know, straight above board that they represent us

136
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: and stand with us, and so less the snub fair

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: rounds uh for doing with that with us, because at

138
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: that time there wasn't anything in the state of the

139
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: country it would even consider it. And so we went

140
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: down there and you know, gosh, we ended up with

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: almost ten thousand people that first year. So we went

142
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: from a show of a thousand people to ten thousand

143
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: the first year and closer to twenty second year, closer

144
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: to third after that, and it blew up, how many

145
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: years have you been at the Sonoma County fair grouns,

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: This will be our eighth year. Yeah, because I feel

147
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: like I feel like, you know, there was I would

148
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: say six maybe, you know, six seven, seven years ago.

149
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: I think I was there and I just felt like

150
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: I was doing something wrong. Still not not me personally,

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: but I felt like he was like, you know, I

152
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: felt it was good for the industry, but I mean,

153
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, it felt like you were you were gonna

154
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: get in trouble because because I understand what you're saying,

155
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's like it just wasn't there yet. The

156
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: world hasn't hadn't really opened up to it, you know,

157
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: and so you're a pioneer for that. I and I

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: commend you for it. You know what, until which was

159
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: only four years ago, we were technically doing something wrong.

160
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: We're looking at it. We didn't have a license to

161
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: do the event, we weren't state the contest, totally illegal

162
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and uh, all the vendors coming in, you know, we're

163
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: doing you know, twenty million dollars in business with those

164
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: vendors before legalization and very very questionable whether that was

165
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: legal either. The first year we moved to Santa Rosa, uh,

166
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: half the people wouldn't join us because we abandoned the triangle.

167
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: The other half thought we were crazy. But then when

168
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: they saw how much business all the vendors did, and

169
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: when they saw how much accolades and how much prompts

170
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: winners got by you know, directly interacting with the public,

171
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 1: then everybody came down the next year and from there

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: on we had a waiting list for vendors because people

173
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: saw just what it meant to get to cly to

174
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: consumers directly to uh the audience and the media for

175
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: winning win an award, and so it just changed. And uh,

176
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of our team, the people who have

177
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: been with us all these years. My daughter has been

178
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: with us now for you know, for most of those years.

179
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, sc was coming in when they

180
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: came the lab, people are like, what's the testing lab

181
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: even doing here? You know? And that was back up

182
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: at everyone oh one, and we didn't even have vendors.

183
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: And we had vendors for the first uh gosh, probably

184
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: seven years. Uh go, Lawrence tried to show up less

185
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm from southern Humble, the godfathered a lot of CBD strains.

186
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: He tried to show up and sell genetics the second year,

187
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: and uh, my partner Marv kicked him because he didn't

188
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: want to risk anything because it was bad enough that

189
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: we were doing the shop about when sales. Because back

190
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: then you do ten years for genetics. And if you

191
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: had hash back then it was called hash, you do

192
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: prison time too. So people don't really remember a lot

193
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: of people are too young to remember just what an

194
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: outlaw this this this was recently. You know, it's funny

195
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: to say that. And I love that you say outlaw

196
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: because you know, the country is infatuated without laws, you know,

197
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: and and it's it's ah for me in my my

198
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: family is always been involved in the cannabis industry. And

199
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: I would often tell people that, you know, for me

200
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: growing up, it's never been illegal in my home. You know,

201
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: it's just it's been part of you know, life. It's

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: just it's not that it wasn't that serious. It was

203
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, there was roaches everywhere

204
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: in our home. You know, it was just part of

205
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: my life. You know. Um my dad was growing either

206
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, in the backyard and the garage and somewhere,

207
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: you know, And and that was really abnormal for people

208
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: in southern California. But in Northern California, as I learned later,

209
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't that abnormal. It was like, you know, I've

210
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: been over to my buddies houses after I got heavily

211
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: involved in it, and and I swear it was like

212
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: the neighbor, the mayor, the cousins of the you know,

213
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: everybody had some kind of grow out there. And I

214
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: think that Northern California adopted it just a much more.

215
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: Do you feel that way as well? Oh yeah, this

216
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: uh California has led the way we've gone from where

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: was people like you and your dad was hiding up

218
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: and just trying to get by to where when California

219
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: went legal, went over the top. And there's loalulenges fbalization

220
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: in California, but it did open it up the rest

221
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: of the world. There's no turn back. We're we're taking

222
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: over the world. Is the biggest agricultural product, you know,

223
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: in the world at this point, easily with cannabis, and

224
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really proud for all that, even though you've

225
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: got a lot of uh challenged farmers up here and

226
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: a lot of business is having a hard time. People

227
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: are going to prison anymore. I have a lot of friends.

228
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna honor Eric McAuley, who did thirteen years out

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: of twenty three, missed his whole twenties and bed prison.

230
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: Uh for going to jail for that and um, friends

259
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: my first book was called Dancing with the Feds. The

260
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: Spiritual Adventures and Mishaps the Marijuana Man. I've I've had

261
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: h four or five instances where I was very close

262
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: to doing federal time. When I got my permission, sheriff

263
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: just open my dispensary up there and we helped tom

264
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: on elected up here. He said, Tim, You've got good

265
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: news and bad news. The good news you're gonna get

266
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: to do your dispensary. The bad news, you didn't tell

267
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: me who you were, and your friends at d A

268
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: still know who you are and they're planning on getting you.

269
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: So I've been dancing with the Feds since I was

270
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: a kid. I grew up in a business where you know,

271
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: I was looking at hundred thousand pound tie loads coming

272
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: in and getting my share of my four or five

273
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: thousand pounds. And uh, I've watched the industry it's the

274
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: seventies come through, and it has been. It's been a

275
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: wild ride. I've got t s D. I've been in

276
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: bathtubs hog tied while people planned my murder because they

277
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,239
Speaker 1: thought my friend was died. I mean, I've had burglaries,

278
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: rip offs, bus Uh, it's you know, there's a tremendous

279
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: amount of stress and PTSD. So I pondered quite a

280
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: bit to fifteen years in prison, and uh, thankfully I

281
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: never did. I had a couple of small us, but

282
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I was looking those charges on multiple occasions. And the

283
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: fear of being six ft. There's also that fear too,

284
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, Tim, as you mentioned this is that love

285
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: for cannabis come from? Where did it? I mean you

286
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: just grow up and say hey, let's push your ounce?

287
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: So wait, where did it come from? You know? For me,

288
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: I was a hyperactive kid. Uh. You know, nowadays they

289
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: put people on rilin and all the crap, the adderall

290
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: or whatever they do with with with people. Uh, you

291
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: know these pharmaceuticals. Uh. I found cannabis through some friends

292
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: and UH at an early age thirteen and realized was

293
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: a dream come true to me. It balanced me out,

294
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: it gave me, you know what most I would say, Look,

295
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating the young kids should go around smoking

296
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: pot all day long, but there's many of them. If

297
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: you're talking about all the other the alternatives, it's a

298
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: really wonderful thing to do. And so from a very

299
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: early age, I got connected to cannabis. My parents moved

300
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: from the area to Santa Capitol on beach, uh, the

301
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: right downtown, the barden. One went up on the walls.

302
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: All the hipps came in, and I was a murderer

303
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: into Santa Cruz hippie culture. You know, fourteen teen years old.

304
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: I was dealing at social high by the time I was,

305
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, sixteen years old, and I won loads by

306
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: the time I was nineteen. So it just came naturally. Um,

307
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm very lucky that I was in the culture. Was

308
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: because Santa Cruz at that time I was so embraced

309
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: and my parents were so evolved. I was, you know,

310
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: now being there from them and Uh, it was a

311
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: very accepted thing. I'm just so fortunate that I lived

312
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: that life. Uh. And I've loved it since that very

313
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: early moment. And then it was all the South America,

314
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 1: the Colombian and the the the you know, the Jamaicans,

315
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: the you know and not and uh, you know, it's

316
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: it's evolved over the time. I just love everybody. You know.

317
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: What's funny is is Joe and I had a conversation

318
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: about this and I and and you'll you'll understand it

319
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: a lot more is you know, I think that the

320
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: backbone of a lot of cannabis came from over from

321
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: other countries, you know, you know, it's like a lot

322
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 1: of it. I mean it was it was, don't get

323
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: me wrong. It came from here. People from here went

324
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: out to go get it in other places. I mean

325
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 1: masses of amounts. And I say this from you know,

326
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: uh southern California perspective is you know, Mexico. You know,

327
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: it would be a heavy border to bring in masses

328
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: amounts of cannabis, right, you know, and back it when

329
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: I was young, probably much more than it was produced here.

330
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: And then now there's you know, be it's being produced

331
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: everywhere so it's it's a total different ballgame, different ecosystem.

332
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: But would you agree that there was more? And this

333
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: is the only reason I'm asking this because Joe and

334
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: I have discussed this, you know, and I want to

335
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: hear from your mouth what you think is, would you

336
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: agree that that from other kind of flux of cannabis

337
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: came from California, let alone the United States? Yes, I

338
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: was saying. At first, I was saying because I'm from

339
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: the Bay Area as well to him, I'm born and

340
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: raised in Saint Jose, So for you just mention everything

341
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned. And I was born in seventy two, so

342
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: younger than you. But I grew up with the era

343
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: of watching the Emerald Triangle just blow up crazily and

344
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: going to intercruise myself and scoring or you know, going

345
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: to hate Nashbury or whatever it was. And then I

346
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: was saying, to blew a few shows back, we're ironically

347
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: talking about I go, I really feel like California is

348
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: what flux the country with cannabis, and he goes, dude,

349
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: I really think Mexico. Oh shit, Now you say that

350
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: back in the day, not today, Like, yeah, well you're mean,

351
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: you're you're young, I'm I'm a lot older. I was

352
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: born in fifty six, so um, basically, we had all

353
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: these land races from world in Thailand, all the wonderful

354
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 1: pot out of Mexico cannabis, all this stuff out of

355
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: South America, Colombia, Maka, and you had all of this

356
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: this amazing cannabis being brought here by all the hippie kids,

357
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: the Vietnam veterans, by everybody babbling around the world. And

358
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: that ended up developing into a huge international business where

359
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: you know, by the time I was in nineteen seventy nine,

360
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: I was you know, I was twenty one years older.

361
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: You had ships dropping off a hundred thousand pounds in Seattle,

362
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand pounds in Portland, a hundred thousand pounds

363
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. Uh, you know, Office Cruise, Santa barbal A.

364
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: They were being brought ashore and divide up. And we

365
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: were we were during all the cannabis across California and

366
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: on the East Coast. And that was a very very

367
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 1: well organized business structure. I was the youngest and I

368
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: was known as the kid most of these people. I

369
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: grew up under where the surfers and all the hippies

370
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: and all the rest of them that became in their

371
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: twenties and developed this, and it was a huge marketplace

372
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: in the early East. Like I said, I was getting

373
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: a thousand pounds to five thousand pounds at a time,

374
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: and uh, I was guaranteed to make a hundred or

375
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: two hundred pound on that. I was making a couple

376
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 1: hundred grand in the early eighties. And it wasn't anything.

377
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: There wasn't anything here. You had small amounts being grown

378
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: up what we called the angle in places like southern California,

379
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: and we're coming in eating that and it was really

380
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: wonderful to cinema. But the majority of the business was

381
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the thaiweed, the Mexican, the Colombian, everything coming from these

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: other faces. A friend of mine up and showed me

383
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: the finest was indoor. I'vedn't seen I've never even seen indoor.

384
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: And then in amaze and he said, we're gonna grow

385
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: kind of under these lights, you see, like in way,

386
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna grow this pot. And I was like, you're

387
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: out of your mind, and why would we grow under

388
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: lights and grow cannabis. I mean, I was going up

389
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: to Mendocino and getting outside outdoor sun grown pounds. I

390
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: was five thousand pound time I was getting the hash,

391
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: and he said, you know what, generals in the business

392
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: have spoken. They said they're gonna take out every cannabis low.

393
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Over the next two years, they changed the federal minimum

394
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: mandatories and brought those in. They got private prisons, and

395
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: within about a three year period you can go back

396
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: and from about seven they did just that. They wiped

397
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: out every load that came in the minimum mandatories where

398
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: people stead getting six months to a year or ten

399
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: to fifteen. And I had to go back and beg

400
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: for that clone two years later to give up earlier

401
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: crop for six crops to get the clone. And that

402
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: was known as the first super pot. It was called

403
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: the grease magic and the and that came out of

404
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: Big Stir. They left that out of the big store.

405
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: Holywood people down there, you know, holy weak people down there.

406
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: And in the course of like just two years, overnight

407
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: industry was dessimated and people are growing under those lights.

408
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: And that's why in door got created first, and that's

409
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: why that's why the Emerald triangle we got created. We're

410
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: growing pot up here. As in the military came up

411
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: after him, but the huge business really came in when

412
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: people started growing indoors in the late eighties and nineties,

413
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: and that giant industry of indoor coloration came in, which

414
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: was never happened if they hadn't a bust at all

415
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: those loads and white out all that was from all

416
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: over the world come and yeah, that's a that's a

417
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: great story. I love it, and and that's it really

418
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 1: is amazing. Yeah, yeah, that's it's it's a fantastic story.

419
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you, you know, being a part

420
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: of the the industry. What's your newest book, because I

421
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: mean you said the Dancing with the Feds. I I

422
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: just love that name. By the way, that's one of

423
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: the best names I've ever heard as far as the

424
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: book goes. I've got to read that book for for

425
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've I've wrote that down. But how many

426
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: books have you written? Well? I wrote one about five

427
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: years ago, and it was poorly edited and it was

428
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: way too long, and I didn't know what structured writing was,

429
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: and so I put that on the shelf. I brought

430
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: it out and I realized it wasn't done right. I

431
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: introduced at the Emerald Cup told about a thousand copies

432
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: play and uh, fast forward to sellers. All of a sudden,

433
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: I met Katherine who was the manager of Michael Fontia

434
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: Spearhead and worked with Chris Holmes Queens of the Stone Age,

435
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: and she was put using news summit. I was a speaker,

436
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: and she asked me what projects I was doing and

437
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: I said, well, I'm writing this other book and I

438
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: got this TV idea for a project and she said

439
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: could she look at it? And she looked and said,

440
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: these are best sellers. I don't know why they're not

441
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: out there. And so she connected me to lowest A

442
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: La Haaba, who's a very very successful litera agent for

443
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: the last forty years in New York City and to

444
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: get Hurts out of her Slickerstini Young l A. They

445
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: do television shows, TV shows and whatnot. They an artist.

446
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: The only new partnerships and some of their partners are

447
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: Will Smith, when Stefani, Keith Richards Black, and they signed

448
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 1: me to do a television deal. Along with the deal,

449
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: what we did was they wanted me to show them

450
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: that I had three to years worth of chapters so

451
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: that they could develop the sets and the stories and

452
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: the actors and and make it a while and I

453
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: showed that to them, so I'd spent a year writing

454
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: the second book, and they said, this is amazing, but

455
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: we want to do the third book first. I want

456
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: you to write another book. So after I spent eight

457
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: months doing my second book last December, they asked me

458
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: to write a third book, which I just finished and

459
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: it's finally done, and it is with eight publishers. It's

460
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 1: going back to Hurts to be uh to be bought

461
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: and put into being a television show over the next

462
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: year or two. And I can see why now that

463
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: I've done. Their book Hit deals with that bathtub scene.

464
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: It opens with me dealing with the Hell's Angels and

465
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: the main forces and the Hells and the bath scene

466
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: and almost being murdered and then battling these people. And

467
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: it's called The Birth of the Emerald cup um An

468
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: Outlaws Spiritual Journey, And so that's the book that's gonna

469
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: come out first and then go back in time like

470
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Star Wars to. The second book is called Leaf Fate

471
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: be the previous years, and then the first book will

472
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: eventually come back out, which is basically all the stories

473
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about, which is my life up until I

474
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: got busted, and then the leaf of Fate goes from

475
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: and then the birth of the cup is really a

476
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: five period where we birth to two Emerald cups. Everyone

477
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: in one got developed. We did the cannabis ministry. I

478
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: almost got a busted four times, murdered, robbed, and I

479
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: helped the largest dispense in the Bay are out of Hayward.

480
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: They got arrested for fifty million dollars money laundering before

481
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: Steve D'Angelo on Harborside blew up. And I was part

482
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: of that group and also went down on a federal

483
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: crime for them. But them, dude, I could just go

484
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: to the Emerald Cups and have you seen a room

485
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: like Santa Claus on a chair and just gather around

486
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: her stories like this all day. Yeah, like this is

487
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: so entertaining when you know when you said go ahead,

488
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: that's what they People don't go ahead. No, they don't.

489
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: People don't know who I am really that I'm an

490
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: old outlaw maybe, but they don't realize that the stories

491
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: and the life that I've lived. Uh, you know, that's

492
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: why it hurts you into a group like liquors Young

493
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: or to Low Slabo without having those stories. And I

494
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: got my guy up here after I got busted the

495
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: last time, who verard all the fuel to all the

496
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: inter operations. And that's the most important personal job all

497
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: this year is because you could trust them coming in

498
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: and out. And before they could use the big airplanes

499
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: to get the heat seeing machines into indoor, you had

500
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: to find a way to get a warrant to come

501
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: into a crop. So if you did anybody and you

502
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: were safe. And he watched me get busted all these times,

503
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, Tim, I've known everybody in

504
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: these mountains for third years. I've never seen anybody that

505
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: workeder than you and has less to show for it,

506
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: because I lost it all through busts and rip offs.

507
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, Jerry, but you know what I

508
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: got my stories. And he laughed, he said, you know what,

509
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: you have the greatest story anybody I've ever talked to. Well,

510
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to watch him because everything you've just

511
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: described sounds phenomenal. It sounds like it will be a

512
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: blockbuster hit and for those who want to experience that.

513
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: Tim takes stories in More December eleven, December twelve and

515
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: Go out there, folks for the eighteenth Amerald Emerald Cup harvests.

516
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,440

518
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: sessions with expert panel discussions, and like I said, I

519
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: could sit down out of stage just listen to you

520
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: all days being stories like that. Maybe one day like

521
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: an our story session of something that you just share

522
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: some stories but a bunch of food, a v I

523
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: P experience and this is that. What else can people

524
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: expect to see as far as the cannabis and how

525
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: it gets judged and what we're gonna be judging on

526
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: the well we're not doing. What happened was is that

527
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: a few years back when we went legal, um, we

528
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: were doing the contest and doing the awards at the

529
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: Test of December, we realized that, you know, at one

530
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: point people were just bringing over their entries to everyone

531
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: on one showing up dropping them off, totally underground situation.

532
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: When we went legal, all of a sudden you had

533
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: to have these instance and get their flowers or their

534
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: or their products them to their distributors, get them tested,

535
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: get them packaged, get them back to us, and it

536
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: became such a tight window that it became almost impossible

537
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: to that are are judges weren't getting enough time. So

538
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: we decided to back the contest up and do the

539
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: awards ceremony in March and then let the man through

540
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: through January and judges February and March to judge. And

541
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: that's turned out to be the best thing we could

542
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: have ever done, because, uh, it gives our judges more time,

543
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: it gives the entrance more time, it gives everybody just

544
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: a lot more time, and it gives us more time

545
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 1: to put the show here. We were very haired we

546
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: we get done with the contest and be running to

547
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: the show after not sleeping all night and trying to

548
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: get to the show. Um, what we're doing this year?

549
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: We decided people still wanted to have the Harvest because

550
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: people like to get together and have the tribe the

551
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: celebration of the harvest. They like to find the new genetics,

552
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: they find, like to find the new flowers, find out

553
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: what's going on, see their friends, get party, and so

554
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna still give them that. We're gonna have this

555
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: wonderful Harvest ball and get together with everybody and have

556
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: a wonderful party, a couple of days of late night

557
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: parties with the Flamingo and uh, you know it also

558
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: wonderful market our marketplace for all of our vendors to

559
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: connect directly to consumers. So consumers don't, you know, do

560
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: anything but come get their stories. And it's such a

561
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: thing when the vendors talk directly to consumers and whatnot.

562
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: So that's very much beloved by everybody. So we're gonna

563
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: have the best of all worlds and bring it back.

Speaker 1: that gets sold, we're gonna give to Sweep Joe his

588
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: active because one of the things this year is that

589
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: we're having an industry that's really being crushed by the

590
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: prices and whatnot small farmers. But in that there's more

591
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: compassionate there to be given out. A sweet leaf and tar,

592
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: blue cloud and weed for warriors have already accumulated over

00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: ten thousand pounds of three cannabis that they're gonna be

594
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: giving out, and they need the money to package it

595
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: and brand it and get it tested. And so we're

596
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: get a dollar ticket to Joe to take care of

597
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,040

605
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: early thirties in prison so inspiring to me. It used

606
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: to make me cry to read his letters. I said

607
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: from the camp of the Emerald Cup stage of years back.

608
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:05,960

626
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: a fall event. They wouldn't let us for a lot

627
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,160

00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: events in Long Beach. As you talk about Long Beach,

704
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 1: maybe there's something that we can connect you with as

705
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: well to get to these proper channels to make your

706
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: event happen as well. So yeah, we just shut down.

707
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: We just shut down second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth

708
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: Street um out there in the middle of Long Beach. So, uh,

709
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: that's very possible to shut down those And it was

710
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: a canvas event and it was a cannabisy event, and

711
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: we we got authorization to do it again. So if

712
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: there's anything we can do on our end, we'd love

713
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: to get involved and help you. Well. Yeah, the thing

714
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: with us is that you talked about us moving to

715
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: l A. We talked there's a contestants, where's the largest

716
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: media market in the world. It's l A. Where's the

717
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: largest cannabis market in the world is l A. And frankly,

718
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: after going down there and really where's the cannabis hub

719
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: of California, it's l A. You know, very forward thinking

720
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: place with all the artists and musicians and movie stars

721
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: and just the culture down there. And so we're really

722
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: honored to bring the cut down there and bridge the

723
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: North South. But when we were doing that, we realized

724
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: a couple of things. One is that we really needed

725
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: to bring the indoor into the contest and really welcome

726
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: that in. It was the last part that was really

727
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: necessary for doing really used to do that. And the

728
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 1: second one was that we needed to go hang wise,

729
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: Nick John Phillips, yourself and Rama from Green Street and

730
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: really come down. They're not like we're planning our flag

731
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 1: and Emerald Cup in northern California, but more like, look,

732
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: let's make this a community of it. Let's this together,

733
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: and let's do this really as a team and come

734
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: down into lay and bring everybody in and welcome everybody

735
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 1: in and bridge that between the North and the South.

736
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: And so we love to have you guys involved in

737
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: that with us. I see what you guys are doing.

738
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: It would be a great place your backyard right there

739
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,320
Speaker 1: at Long Beach. And like I said, Nick Adler and

740
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: John Phillips and Chang Wiseburg, They're all gonna help us

741
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: with this. We're not haveing any any thoughts that we

742
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: would do this on our own. This is a collaboration.

743
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: We want to work with as many people as possible.

744
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: We look forward to working with you as it's the

745
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: now time for the Infant High five with the founder

746
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: of the Emerald Cup, Tam Blake, Christian number one. Tim,

747
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: how do you the first time you smoked cannabis? And

748
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: where did you get it from? I was twelve years

749
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: old and I got it from I was a Dell

750
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: Rodo Catholic school and we had one Hispanic kid, of course,

751
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: the coolest kid in nicolass and he had cannabis and

752
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: I took off with him and we got high and

753
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: they changed my life. Uh was it from then? I

754
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: was like I was. I might have been thirteen, but

755
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: I think I was. I was about you know, I

756
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: was called thirteen for a better age. His anecdotal evidence

757
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: still supports what we're saying. Blue the Latinos brought the

758
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: to the market it even brought it to Dibley. He

759
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: got it to me. And I'll tell you what, Jose,

760
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: he's my hero, man. I'll tell you what he was like.

761
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 1: He woke me up and I was like, what you're

762
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: talking about? He knew what was up? What's going on

763
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: right this homeboy? Well, you know, I always tell people,

764
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: don't forget the Hispanics, the you know, they helped bring

765
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: this beautiful plant to to to to its uh forefront here,

766
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, And I think a lot of people often

767
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: forget that, you know, and you just called marijuana for

768
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: a reason, you know, I METI one. You know, A

769
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: lot of the was a combination of that the surfers,

770
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: And I always tell that to Joe and everybody else

771
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 1: that was involved, Like, you know, that surfer connection that

772
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about was such a big deal, you know,

773
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 1: it really was. It was something that you know, if

774
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: you you knew it that it was part of the

775
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: surfboards and all the different things that we're moving around

776
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: out there. It's a big uh. I know a lot

777
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: about it, but it was awesome. Question number two of

778
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: the High five, what is what is your favorite way

779
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: to use cannabis? Well, now, I vaporized. I was a

780
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: little contentive to on joints today. My whole life, I

781
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: was on the front lines of using first that weren't clean.

782
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: I was at the beginning of using VHO when we

783
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: thought it'd be clean if you uh double boiled it

784
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: on stoves where you know, the the you know stopped

785
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, boiling over with the bubbles. And it's like

786
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 1: we were probably two million parts per pm or ports

787
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: on chemicals hot nights. I burned my lungs out, so

788
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 1: it's really it's gonna be tough for me these days.

789
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 1: I used vaporized uh, you know, and and I do

790
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: uh do dabs and stuff, but my lungs are very sensitive. Shot.

791
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: I've done so much damage to the overs. Uh. I'm

792
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: smoking joints. That's always been my thing. And my girl

793
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: teased me to go back and sheets on him, a

794
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: cheat on him. Then I can't really breathe after, you know,

795
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaker 1: even a day of that, just going back for a

796
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: second to your ear thing. There spanics as far as

797
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm concerned. The Thai weed that came out of Thailand

798
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: eventually became the big Big But what really named to

799
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: California as a kid was all that wonderful cannabis from Mexico,

800
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: you know the acupul you know, the w h that's

801
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: what we grew up on. It became a business. It

802
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: was tied but the two states, the you know, the

803
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 1: two packs, but it's not what grew up on. A

804
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: little bit Colombian from South America, but mostly it was

805
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: pot from Mexico and it was brought in by a

806
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: lot of US NICs and it was connected to those

807
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: surfers and it's how everybody on the West Coast got

808
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: introduced to it. God bless him because that was some

809
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: really fine cannabis that we grew up on, and some

810
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 1: wasn't so fine. Some of that brick wheed that we

811
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: used to get that was just it gets you, hull,

812
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: that's what that's what we're talking about. It wasn't all

813
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: you know, people remember the brick weeed. So you think

814
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: about is there was three years in there when it

815
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: first started. It wasn't brick wheed because it wasn't a

816
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: big You guys are a little younger when it first started.

817
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't brick wheed because it wasn't a big business.

818
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: So people weren't crushing it to bring it over to

819
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: make money. They were bringing it up in smaller amounts,

820
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 1: and it wasn't brickweed. It was really stunning cannabis. Then

821
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: they turned it into brickheed in the seventies to do

822
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 1: a large business, and then when they saw sens of

823
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: meia in the eighties, they started laying it down again

824
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: and making it very lightly. And you'd see these lightly

825
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: We searched high and low for lightly pressed bricks where

826
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: they would just feel part and they'd be wonderful. So,

827
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, people think of the brick wheed, but I

828
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 1: remember a lot of fresh loose cannabis from Mexico that

829
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: was stunning. Well, yeah, you know, it's funny that they

830
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: said that, because when you overpressed them right, they became

831
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: like almost ridiculous. But what it was that one It

832
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 1: was the ones that you can you can bring back

833
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: with a little bit of steam. You know, they've just

834
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: left it right back up, right back up, and they're beauty. Yeah,

835
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: we'd stay at the room, but just steam the whole

836
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: room and those things would come right back and they

837
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: look so beautiful. And it was it was funny because

838
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, people didn't know like if you know, you

839
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: come out and you put that into a nice little bag.

840
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: Back to reality. Yeah, you'd bring it back, you'd bring

841
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 1: it back to life, and they'd just be flying everywhere.

842
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: They were amazing. Yeah. So question number three of the

854
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: basebook game, at a at a Giant's game. Uh. A

855
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: few years back. I went to one, and I grew

856
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,439
Speaker 1: up going to all the ball games, and uh, somebody said, Okay,

857
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna go get high, and I thought, we're gonna

858
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,280
Speaker 1: get high in the stadiums. You know, it's a security

859
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: and stuff and enough to where they smoked. We're standing

860
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: up there, and I looked one way or the other

861
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: and like everybody was sitting up there at vaporisers. And

862
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: I have been to a game for a few years,

863
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: and I thought, this is wild. We're gonna all sit

864
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: up there puff vaporisers and smoke bud at the top

865
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: of the stadium in the back, you know. And uh,

866
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, for a kid that grew up where that

867
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed, Uh, it was really cool to see the

868
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: giants were really open, that they weren't half with anybody.

869
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,439
Speaker 1: And you probably had a hundred people up there getting high.

870
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: Of course that smelled that garlic French frieses out there too,

871
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: in the out It's gotta love it. Well, they knew

872
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 1: they were going to sell more of those French fries

873
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: if they let people get high. Yeah, you're talking about

874
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: you know. What's funny is is that that that little

875
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: bit of um leverage that people, I mean, that little

876
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 1: bit of an acceptance that's been happening a little bit here,

877
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,759
Speaker 1: a little bit there, is what's allowing the market to

878
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: really just expand. Um. You know. Even like when we

879
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: were talking in Long Beach, we were walking through the

880
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 1: streets and at first they're like, you know, you have

881
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: to have one sanctioned area that we could smoke at.

882
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: Next thing, you know, the whole everybody on the streets

883
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: were smoking. The cops were walking by. It was like,

884
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, unbelievable. You could have a joint in your hand,

885
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: the cops are looking right at you. They're smoking it

886
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: right there, and they weren't hassling nobody. Um it was.

887
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: It was It's that little bit of of leverage that

888
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: everybody starts to loud because they know it's not it's

889
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: not illegal, it's it's you know, well it is on

890
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: some levels, but you know it's starting to be more accepted.

891
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,959
Speaker 1: How about that? So question number four of the high

892
00:45:53,960 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: five No, go ahead continue. I was just gonna say, really,

893
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: the wild place that I smoked was in the Himalayas

894
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: up in Manali. I was with the trekkers and they

895
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: had never had uh white people. I was with an

896
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Indian I'll check of art. They'd never people even in

897
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: their house and their huts. They all set on we

898
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: smoked hash together. It was and it was the first

899
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 1: time they've ever done that. And then they served me food.

900
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: Of course, they served me first, so I tried to

901
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: eat really quick so that because I was really stone

902
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,720
Speaker 1: and I wanted them to eat. And my friend said

903
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 1: to them, and they gave me more, and they gave

904
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: me more. There's half three or four times. I was

905
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: like the all I'm just trying to get twenty people

906
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: can eat. I'm all stoned, and it's like, what's going on?

907
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 1: And then he left and told him the jell. He

908
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: kept telling him I was starving. They kept feeding and

909
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: I kept trying to eat the food so everybody could eat.

910
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: And I was sitting there higher heck on this Himalayan

911
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: hash and uh. It was really cool because then we

912
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: all sat down and laughed about it and had dinner again.
