Absolutely. Um, so 65 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: I got out, I was pretty messed up from my deployments. 66 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: Uh Like like Bryan said, I, I did a two 67 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: combat deployment, stalling by province. My first tour was with 68 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: Amusak Marine UH Expeditionary and special Operations capable whenever on 69 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: boat UM and UH we did combat operations right on 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: the Euphrates and a town called hit um We. UH 71 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: we did several movement to contact and uh cash a 72 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: discovery missions or operations that we're just you know, walking 73 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: for days waiting for waiting to find something or waiting 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: for somebody to shoot at us UM and that was 75 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 1: pretty much a just the first first employment. Second employment 76 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: was uh in Baghdaddy UM not to be confused with Baghdad, 77 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: but it was a small village a little north of 78 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: my first tour, and UH we did ah coin operations, 79 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: counter insurgency operations in that village UM with a platoon 80 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: sized element mainly off the patrols UM and UH you 81 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: know it really got to uh understand people, uh uh 82 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: the ins and outs of people outside of the US, 83 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: which you know, there's a lot like us. So it 84 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: was you know, it was tough. We got yeah, I 85 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: was gonna say real quick, just so we kind of 86 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: catch people up here. So where he was in western 87 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Iraq as the Alandbar province and you had like a 88 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: triangle of death in there with Falluja and Ramadi. It 89 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: was in gnarly area. I did a couple of deployments 90 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: myself out there, and when he's saying things like what 91 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: are you was seeing like movement to contact. They're literally 92 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: going out looking for a fight, like just someone come 93 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 1: at us and a movement for contact exactly. Hence those 94 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: real words movement for contact. So it was a really 95 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: it was a bad lands out there, and you know 96 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: a lot of guys and whatever moves get shot at exactly. 97 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: And it was tough. And I know, like he's just 98 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: bring up things I even thought about in a long time, 99 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,160 Speaker 1: but like we're a hit and Baghdaddy and all those things. 100 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: It was. It was some rough terrain. So this guy's 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: been through a lot. Oh man, thank you again for 102 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: your service, but yeah, continue please, um, I appreciate it. Um. 103 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, we uh. The second employment was pretty pretty 104 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: eye opening because I was I was a squad leader 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: and a platoon size element, which I was first squad leader, 106 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: so I was, you know, third in command next to 107 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: my my lieutenant, my platoon commander, patuone sergeant. Um. You know, 108 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: we got really really close with a lot of the 109 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: with a lot of the villagers. I can honestly say 110 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: they had given us intel to save the lives myself 111 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: and my fellow marines, my my cartoon. UM. So it was, Yeah, 112 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: it was a great experience. Um, but it uh, you know, 113 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: it's one of those things that you're you never actually 114 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: know what you're doing until a decade later, and unfortunately, 115 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: uh Isis decided to come into that that village and 116 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: and really really destroyed the local community and anyone that 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: worked with us. So it was I guess it's one 118 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: of the reasons why I'm really against h disarming local populaces, 119 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 1: because they're not able to defend themselves anymore now. And 120 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: that's a you know, it's a good point there you're 121 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: bringing up in terms of how he was doing things 122 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: and counterinsurgency, and that really is you want to win 123 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: hearts and minds and being out there and working with 124 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: the villagers and Basically you're becoming friends and they get 125 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: what we're doing. We had a thing it's called the 126 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: Alambar Awakening. So this was like in two thousand six, 127 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: I thought everything was going to going to hell in Iraq. 128 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even know what we're doing. If 129 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: this is gonna work. President Bush introduced a thing called 130 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: the Surge, so they sent more marines in a Lambar, 131 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: and I went back to alain Bar about six months 132 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: later with Ricon, and everything totally changed. And what happened 133 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: was the Shakes basically said, hey, we're not really thrilled 134 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: with these marines, but they're a heck a lot better 135 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: than these al Qaeda guys. And they started kicking all 136 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: these people out of their villages or their cities, and 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: that's where they do the murder intimidation campaigns. Essentially, what 138 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: we did is us in a seal team. We just 139 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: it was like driving the cattle up north. The Kurds 140 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: were like bringing to us, and we'll figure this one out. 141 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: So things really on a good track, and then all 142 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: of a suddenly we prematurely pulled out and then you 143 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: had ices coming and felt his vacuum and if you 144 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: were working with the Marines or Americans, you probably weren't 145 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: gonna be living much longer. I mean, they don't go 146 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: in there to let me get this guy. They going 147 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: there in the White piller a whole village and it's 148 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: just absolutely sickening what these people do. Well Pearson, Uh yeah, 149 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: Happy Father's Day yea, exactly after that type of ship 150 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 1: right there, right, Yeah, that's type of stuff they do.

UM. 172 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: They were just giving me all these opiates, all these 173 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: uh Benz's diazepine, all these sleeping pills and SSR eyes 174 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: that UM just turned me into a zombie in an 175 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: addict UM. I don't know how many, how many how 176 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: many people can say at twenty three years old, they 177 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: were on two two stettinol patches at the same time, 178 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: along with cotton and MS cotton for breakthrough pain uh 179 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: clonic pins um three times a day. UM. I had 180 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: a one mile Grandma dosage. UM. And it, you know, 181 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: I fell into addiction. And I think mainly it was 182 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: a not only it wasn't just the doctors. The doctors 183 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: didn't have any other options to give me, and I 184 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: wanted the pain to go away. And and at that 185 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: point in my life, I don't think I I saw 186 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: a better future than uh we're a purposeful future that 187 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: the Marine Corps gave me um in that regard, in 188 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: the purpose regard, and I just, uh, you know, let 189 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: these uh professionals give me what they could and their 190 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: best avenues of approach to my my physical and mental issues. 191 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: And it was something that looking back, I wish um 192 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: I spoke up a little bit more. But Brian, you know, 193 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: in the Marine Corps, you uh you know, um, you 194 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: listen to the people that are that are above you, 195 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: and you don't you don't really ask questions unless you 196 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: are the leader on the ground and no one, no 197 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: one can say anything to the leader on the ground. 198 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: But when it comes back to garrison, medical treatment and 199 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: stuff like that, UM, you you're you're, You're instilled with 200 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 1: this um trust and responsibility towards the your superiors. And 201 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: I think, I think myself and other service members look 202 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: at doctors or nurses, anybody with the uniform or badge 203 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: or a degree as people that have taken an oath 204 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: to do no harm and they are um working in 205 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: your best interests, not necessarily where is in the v 206 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: A they're working under the interests of the law and 207 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: the federal government that shouldn't be involved with UH medical treatment. 208 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: I I firmly believe that that's UH. One of the 209 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 1: biggest issues when it comes to be a treatment is 210 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: that they're working under these guidelines that don't necessarily benefit 211 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: the veteran, but more or less, UH helps them not 212 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: get fired or goes under the guide guidelines of a 213 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: code of federal regulations. And you're still right, Pierson, because 214 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: everything you're saying is part of the protocolled that all 215 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: branches of military have been taught right short chain of command. 216 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: It's so funny to hear you use that way of thinking, Pierson, 217 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: as far as even chain of command. From every single 218 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: vet that comes out of the military. You're told to 219 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: do this and take this now you're out, Brian Buckley, 220 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: you need to take these pills. This that Pierson, Crosby, 221 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: you're out, now you need to take this. That's such 222 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: a mental struggle for you guys to come out of 223 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: the military being told by the quote unquote man what 224 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: you need to be taking, and now you get out, 225 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: you should be taking these pills rather than cannabis. It's 226 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: such a tough one. Let's take a break, come right 227 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: back and talk on this point right there on how 228 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: you can change that mindset, How Pearson's change that mindsets, 229 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: how Brian Buckley's change that mindsets. How we can get 230 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: other people to change that mindset. Because it's not only 231 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: vets that think this way, folks, it's society that thinks 232 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: this way. How some people will think, oh, I can't 233 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: use cannabis, I need to take this pill that my 234 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: doctor told me to get because of protocol reasons. We 235 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: all feel that way at certain points, and it happens 236 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: across the board. It's sad to think that most veterans, 237 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: but let's just go any person who's been taught in 238 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: life that the propaganda of it and they shut their 239 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: eyes to it. There's more than just oh yes, and 240 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,079 Speaker 1: it's just not a veteran issue. Yeah, exactly, it's cannabis. 241 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: And we'll come right back and talk more about this. 242 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: We'll right back after this break. We'll be right back 243 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: with cannabis te oh one. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk 244 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: one oh one.

Visit the website laurent Oils dot com. It's 248 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: l O R A N N O I l S 249 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: dot com. Brian Buckley from h v g C of 250 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: Course Here with Us says, we talked to the veterans. 251 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: Pierson Crosby, Uh is our guy that's on the show 252 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: with Us. Pierson, your stories, everything you said, like I said, 253 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: you touch something in me right now that is so 254 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: heartbreaking yet so real, like a two dollar bill. That 255 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: it's not just veterans. But it's so sad to think 256 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: that the veterans who have been programmed, as you point 257 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: out on that Pierson two year old kid, that you 258 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: were at leading men and fighting and doing whatever it 259 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: took the lead. When I say whatever it took by 260 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 1: any means necessary, even killing, And that's what you guys 261 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: have done for us in this country. And then to 262 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: come home you think I gotta follow my directions. Oh yeah, 263 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: it's like you know, you kind of look at what 264 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Pearson went through. You talked about being a squad leader, 265 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: so right there he's in charge of twelve marines. And 266 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: then when you said he went through marsak A and s. 267 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: That's what I did. That's special ops. He made it 268 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: through selection. He could have went and became a Marine raider, 269 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: but he opted to lead the Marine Corps. Then they 270 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: start throwing him what we call the v A cocktail, 271 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: where they're giving you uppers and downers and lesson rights 272 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: and all that sort of things. I mean, Pierson's probably 273 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: taken upwards like fifteen pills a day. And you do 274 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: you lose that, You lose your identity. You're desperate for help. 275 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: Hold on, Pierson, is that fifty that's that's why your 276 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: active duty? No? No, no, that's when I got out 277 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: of those strictly from the v A. If you, if you, 278 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: if you complain about having any issues, you're gonna get 279 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have gotten into MARSA selection with MARSA for 280 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: a couple of months prior to uh TO, just like 281 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 1: I got recruited there and stayed there. But if I 282 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: were to mention anything about my nightmares or nights tremors, 283 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: or or the negative thoughts or knee issues or back issues, 284 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: they would have they would have dropped me. And um, 285 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: that's just not something it's very going to UH the 286 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: Aid Battalion or medical is highly frowned upon in the fleet. 287 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure Brian can speak on that one too. I mean, 288 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: of course, and we've heard from him and hearing that, 289 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: But how at what point, Pearson? Because hearing your struggle there, 290 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what that struggle must have been 291 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: like for you to say I'm gonna use cannabis. I 292 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: want to hear what that mental like? How did how 293 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: did you click yourself to say, funcking, I need to 294 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: use this, not that I was gonna die? UM.

I stayed there 334 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: for a couple of hours and I was like, no, weapon, 335 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: way am I gonna be able to deal with this craziness, 336 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: you know? And uh I I had. I had all 337 00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: the pillars of you know, success in my opinion, and 338 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: to be able to get off on my own. And 339 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: there's like four things that I see when it comes 340 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: to UM successfully getting off of subtance abuse or addiction. 341 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 1: And it's having a good support structure, your your friends 342 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 1: and family, UM, strangers that are that actually care about you, 343 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: which you're like, man, these people have no idea who 344 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: I am, and they're here too and truly care about 345 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: my well being. And that's something that I would never 346 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 1: want to do, is let people down in that capacity. UH. 347 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: And and knowing that you could do better in the 348 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: future if you're if you decide if you're able to 349 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: conquer this demon. And you know you gotta be willing 350 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: to uh you know, fall off that horse and get 351 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: back on that horse in order to better yourself. And 352 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: I ended up I end up catching a d U 353 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: I on the main road and Philly, UM and UH 354 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: blacked out with my foot on the break during traffic 355 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: and Philly with needle in my arm. And so then 356 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: I got I got uh like a charge of that 357 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: woke up in the roundhouse and UH got introduced the 358 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: Veteran's Court. And that was the fifth piller of my UM. 359 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: What I think helped me, and that was the the 360 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 1: possibility of incarceration. UM. And I went through Veteran's Court, 361 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: and that's where I found the people, the strangers that cared, 362 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: really cared. I still talked to them today. I still 363 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: talked to my probation officer, Brian. I took my I 364 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 1: took my probation officer to UH the veteran the Marine 365 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: Corps birthday at the Philadelphia UH Union League. Hmm. He 366 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: was my he my plus one. Oh yeah, it happens, 367 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean and like you you know, as you say, Pierson, 368 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: you're sitting there in pain waiting to try to do 369 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: the right thing, trying to get some you know, relief, 370 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: and then what am I supposed to? I mean, it's hard, man, 371 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: It's hard for people out there. And I'm just glad 372 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: you found cannabis, and I'm glad and grateful for your service, 373 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully just keep fighting the good fight 374 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: out there, because it's it's not easy by no means. 375 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: And now you're in Alaska with your kids and doing 376 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: your thing, and God, William, cannabis could keep you saying 377 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: and keep you somewhat right. What what is your regimen 378 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 1: using cannabis now? Do you have one that you find 379 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: that keeps you on a good balance or is it 380 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: just when needed? Well? Um, So, the way that I 381 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: got off of all the drugs was I got fed 382 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: up with the UH, with the system, and I just 383 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: locked myself in the in my apartment back in Philly 384 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: and just smoked a lot of cannabis. I mean, I 385 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: was smoking probably an ounce sounds and a half every 386 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: week going through UH, going through opiate withdraw and um 387 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: it took me a little bit longer to get off 388 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: the bench and ice mean, because those will kill you 389 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: if you're highly addicted to them. And you're cold turkey. UM. 390 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: But it was just cannabis gave me the ability to 391 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: have that edge to um, to get through it. UM. 392 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: And now I you know, I smoked at the lady 393 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: I am. I started transportation company up here a few 394 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: years ago. I have over a hundred and thirty thousand 395 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: road miles that I've transported uh uh fifty million plus 396 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: uh dollars with a product and and cash. UM. And 397 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: I've just you know, been trying to uh get get 398 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: get the word out that that cannabis is something that 399 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: is far less STANDARDUS than than um opiates, than the 400 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: drugs that can potentially allow you to overdose or become 401 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: evicted to dangerous and deadly substances. And now I you know, 402 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: I I I consume almost daily UM. And typically it's 403 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: you know, before I go to bed with with my 404 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: better half Megan, how she puts up with me? But 405 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: she does. UM, it's running running joke. But UM, but 406 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: up here it's recreational. We don't have a medical program. 407 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: If you're twenty one and older, you can you can 408 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: go into the store and grab and grab cannabis. If 409 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: you're if you're under twenty one, you can get a 410 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,679 Speaker 1: referral from a doctor. But there is no real distinction 411 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: between um medical cannabis and uh, you know, or recreational. 412 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: There's no just the recreation. But there is no real 413 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: uh uh difference between alcohol and cannabis here. There there 414 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: are several different uh laws that kind of separate them. 415 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: But we we did a voters initiative and and one 416 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: I was se um wanting cannabis to be recreational, and 417 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: our motto was uh regulated like alcohol, and um, I 418 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: think it's one of for consumers. On a consumer Standford point, 419 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: it is probably the best program I've I've seen to date. 420 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: This is literally one of those stories, Pierson. And as 421 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: you say that to Brian, that is exactly what that is. 422 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: It should be praised, heard more of because you are 423 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: what they call a miracle child, as I am as well, Pierson. 424 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: As I say this to you, I'm not saying I'm 425 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: I'm a miracle child as well. I should be dead 426 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: a hundred times over my damn self. So I relate 427 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,919 Speaker 1: to your story, brother, as I've been in N A, 428 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: A A and every other a anonymous you can imagine. 429 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: So everything I've heard from everybody, yeah, from from your 430 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: mouth I've heard this story were a few times good 431 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: or bad or sad. And my point is it's not 432 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: unique to me by no means. But it's this the 433 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: fact that you have overcome it and and are overcoming 434 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: it on a daily basis and now your regiment as 435 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 1: a nighttime when needed with the spouse and that's a 436 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: beautiful thing.

If you could smoke cannabis with anyone 571 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 1: dead or alive, question number five, Mr Pearson Crosby, who 572 00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: would it be? And why? Man? That is tough one. 573 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: Um Socrates, Socrates so great, so I want to know 574 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: if he actually sent all the things that he actually 575 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: is actually so he never wrote anything. So that's a 576 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: big thing with Socrates. Uh, he never wrote anything down. 577 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: It was all a Plato that that Uh was the 578 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: one that um described everything shared his Yeah, shared his 579 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: his his belief structure and stuff. The same thing with Aristotle. 580 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 1: I don't think Aristotle if you even authored. But Socrates 581 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: is one of those guys that you know he died 582 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: for his principles even though he knew he could say 583 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: one thing to uh or or or thorough. Um, the 584 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: guy who wrote on the on the Duties of Civil Disobedience. 585 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: You're serious right now? That is just so random to 586 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: to pick something like that because it is such a 587 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: good one, because like you said, this is everything that 588 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: you've just talked about and been right down. There's a 589 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: lot of great people like that out there in the world. 590 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 1: I mean one may I remember hearing stories about the 591 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: King James Bible as far as once he had everybody 592 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 1: write down, he expressed everything to them. They chopped the 593 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: tongues off everybody. Yeah, the King James Bible has been 594 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: it's been revised by scribes for but like, as I 595 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: hear something like that, it makes you think of stories 596 00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 1: like that, like what you just said of talking to 597 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: somebody like that, because in history I remember, you know, 598 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: I did a show called The Doghouse in the Bay Area, 599 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: and then when I got sober, I did a show 600 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 1: called The God House, right once I got sober, and 601 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: I did it with Pastor Dick ber Now who who 602 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: runs Jubilee Christian Center and Sound, and mc hammer, who 603 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: you know can't touch us doing to me. Mc Hammer, 604 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 1: Pastor Dick. We would do the show and I constantly 605 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: ask questions and talk about the Bible and God. And 606 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: then we get about King James and they were like, well, 607 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: you know what happened once he did all these stories 608 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: and look what happened. We started researching, like what do 609 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 1: you mean, oh, the King James, Bible and this and that. 610 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: After they got all these books and everything, they chopped 611 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: the tongues off these cats and said, you can no 612 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: longer tell these stories. And I'm just going off of 613 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: what I heard. That's what I heard, And it reminds 614 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: you of what you're saying, Pierson, like when you describe 615 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: these things about him, that's the type of ship we 616 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: come from in this country and world, like that type 617 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,719 Speaker 1: of stuff happens back then. It happens. It happened when 618 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 1: the Bible was written. From what I've heard, that's the 619 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 1: story I heard. I think, I think we've fall into 620 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: this assumption that every great man or woman is insaluble. 621 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: And with with greatness, you're you're lacking a lot. You're 622 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: you're you're focusing on one thing that that made that 623 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 1: person great. But also it's a human being that we're 624 00:36:54,400 --> 00:37:00,280 Speaker 1: talking about. And if you're concentrated on one aspect of 625 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: of life, or your your professionalism, or what you're doing 626 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: to change the world, you're you're really a lot of 627 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: times you're really not good at other aspects, like you know, 628 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: like the Founding Fathers. There there's so many terrible things, 629 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: and and it's with every person. No one is completely 630 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 1: great or virtuous or you know. Uh besides, you know, 631 00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: even even with the stories of Jesus Christ growing up, 632 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: he was sicking bees on people that talk back to 633 00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: his his his mother. You know, can you imagine what 634 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: we would do if we were him, we only sick 635 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: bees on somebody.

I don't understand people who can't like 657 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,279 Speaker 1: this is my reasons that George okay cool a great disagree. 658 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: I would I would like my my I would like 659 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: my view on life to be altered by a good 660 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,080 Speaker 1: UH defense on why it's a good opposition on why 661 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,920 Speaker 1: it should be. And I feel like there's this council 662 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 1: cultural shit like it is just people opting out and 663 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: taking the time to actually realize what they believe in. 664 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 1: And I saw that so much recently. And there's nothing 665 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: worse than somebody that believes in something that's just believing 666 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: it because of emotional bullshit, because somebody that they like 667 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: told them that or it's been drilled into their head 668 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,640 Speaker 1: and they don't have the they don't have the the 669 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: willingness to go find out for themselves or or have 670 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 1: no idea what they're even defending, and they have no 671 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: business defending. And if they if they believe that, if 672 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: they believe something that they're not willing to look into 673 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 1: and take the time to figure it out, find out 674 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,400 Speaker 1: and make sure that they are UH in the most 675 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: UH in the know as possible. It's a really good point. 676 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: I actually heard President Obamaly gave a speech and it 677 00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 1: was like right when remember like colleges were having safe 678 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: spaces and you could like runaway and go hide in 679 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: the room at someone's debating with you. He's like, this 680 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,319 Speaker 1: is not what we're supposed to be doing, because people 681 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 1: disagree with me every point five seconds of the day. 682 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 1: But you know I have to convince them to say 683 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,799 Speaker 1: what I think and we're doing is right. I debate them. 684 00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 1: He's like, that's what we should do. He's like, we're 685 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: losing something here in the country, and it's what we're 686 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: doing now. We're sharing Pierson Crosby's anecdotal story of what 687 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: he's gone through the peaks and the valleys and the 688 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 1: trenches of life. You've heard me share him, You've heard 689 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: Brian share him, and now Pearson shared him. And that's 690 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 1: what we're about, changing people's perspective, opening your mind. Share 691 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 1: this with folks that are listening. In life, Going cannabis 692 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: is not just about the stoner that smoke sweed on 693 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: the corner, and it's you know, fun those guys are 694 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: fun too, though, don't get it twisted. It's it's about 695 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: saving lives like it's saved Pearson's. And then that's the 696 00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: message that we want to get out there, folks, And 697 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,399 Speaker 1: that's what cannabis talk one on one is about. That's 698 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: what Blues about Joe Grande is about.

It's worked for a veteran 702 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 1: like him, it's worked for a guy like me, and 703 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,240 Speaker 1: it's worked for another veteran like Pearson. I'm an injured 704 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 1: man that has literally his it up with surgery that's 705 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: on my foot that I take cannabis for it. If 706 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: you think I had a good friend that would have 707 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 1: brought me into the day, you might have thought I did, 708 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 1: But I don't, folks.
