It was like, 73 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, did you go there, Chris to actually you know, 74 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: dive into the food because you were so involved in 75 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: food or were you there and then you started like 76 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: exploring food, you know, and realizing that it just wasn't 77 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 1: a part, No, it was I go, I travel for 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: food and adventure. Um, but I was also doing the 79 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: first UH cannabis events in Lebanon and Palestine in tel 80 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: Avision that it was amazing. I mean people were absolutely 81 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: um floored by it. They were loving it and and 82 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: it was it was a big, big turn outer. Yeah. 83 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: I think we we had only what was it, like 84 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 1: fifty seats and we had like a total of ninety 85 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: people or hundred people sign up, and you know, it 86 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: was we we kept it pretty small, but it was um. 87 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, it was a little bit nerve racking to 88 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: being in the Middle East and then you know, being 89 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: the first to do that out there. What's the punishment 90 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: like out there for for something? I think it's just 91 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: stoning to death or they drag you behind a horse. 92 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Oh no, I don't know. I don't know. But it's 93 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: not good. It definitely is not good. But they it's 94 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: in China or somewhere like that, they do something like 95 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: that as well. Japan. Yeah, it's not a game. But 96 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: you know what's funny is I was on the front 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: page of Japan Today and the yeah not today, but 98 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: it's called today Today. Wait wait, so today you were 99 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: on the front cover that was tew years ago. Today, 100 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: I was on the front cover today, you were on 101 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: the show because I'm playing there was there was a 102 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: newscaster that did this whole you know, like you know 103 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: today thing or whatever. It was just fun, but continue 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: something today. So I feel like the image that we're 105 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: getting from the world is one that's negatively towards cannabis. 106 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 1: But in actuality, there are tons of people that are 107 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: willing and open to hearing about the healing modalities as 108 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: well as um, you know, just the more lighthearted aspects 109 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: of cannabis. Yeah, let me ask you, like, you know, 110 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, food, right, you know, 111 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't understand that food is 112 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: is like your fuel. It's not you know, what you 113 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: like to eat. And it's so important to get that 114 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: message out right because because and I and I eat 115 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: what I like to eat, not you know, not for 116 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: fuel unfortunately, and sometimes I've I went, I pushed myself 117 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: through times where I've ate for fuel, and I run 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 1: a lot fucking better, Like my body runs ten times better, 119 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: and I love myself more. I'm clear, my vision is clear, 120 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: everything works better, you know. I mean, I think it 121 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: comes down into like adulterating the uh, the actual products. 122 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: So what I mean by that is, you know, over 123 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: the past thirty forty years in the United States specifically 124 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: and especially um, there has been an adulteration of our products. 125 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: Like the wheat is no longer just wheat. It is 126 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: just filled with all these chemicals and other things, and 127 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: it's causing people to have reactions to it. Whereas you 128 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: go to Italy and they have such a strict d 129 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: P H the Department of Produce, they have such a 130 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: strict regulation that they cannot add anything to their wheat. 131 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: It has to be perfectly grown every single time in 132 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: order for it to to be the d P wheat 133 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: that they put their stamp on, and it doesn't have 134 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: any of the things that make people, you know, have 135 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: these intolerances. And I think that's happened with every part 136 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: of our produce produce, so from vegetables to to berries 137 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: to um are bigger, you know, more sustainable rice, wheat 138 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: flow like all all of that. What do you what? 139 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: What what is your you know? Like I mean, so 140 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: you know talking to nutrition, right because you're like you 141 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: cook but with the with the purpose yeah essentially right? 142 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: How does that look? I mean break down a mill. 143 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: Like just like for me, like, hey look Chris, I'm 144 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: gonna cook you something today that may you know, give 145 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: you more energy or you know, allow you know, your 146 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: body to absorb a better whatever. Explain lay its terms. Okay. 147 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: So for instance, um, you know, and we have a 148 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: few chefs within our group. Now, um, like our corporate chef, 149 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Jared Ventura, he does a lot of the food for 150 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: us as well. Um. So like for instance, the other 151 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: day we um well off the bat we do not 152 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: use any inflammatory seed oils anymore. So that's a huge one. 153 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Like and I don't know, you know how far deep 154 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole. Uh, We're not gonna go deep deep 155 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole, Okay, but um, like if you 156 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: go down that rabbit hole, you will see the um 157 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: crazy inflammation that happens because of seed oils and like 158 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: grape seed oil, like wrap seed oil, canola oil, all 159 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: these all these oils that all of our food is 160 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: cooked with, fried with, etcetera. So at our place, it's 161 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: so good. So in nostalgia, we don't use any seed oils. 162 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: We only use avocado oil, and we only use olive oil. 163 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: And that's the same thing that we do for our 164 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: private dining. UM. So we like that's one major thing, 165 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: right that that we don't do. UM. And then you know, 166 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: we make a lot of different recipes that don't have 167 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: any refined sugars and things like that. So really cutting 168 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: down the ways in which the body can be inflamed 169 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: by improper use of you know, any any typically used products. 170 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: You know, when you say you know avocado oils, I 171 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: mean I've never cooked with avocado oil, but I have 172 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,839 Speaker 1: them olive oil and to do all the time. And 173 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: there's a different you know, texture that comes off from 174 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: olive oil. You've got to kind of get used to it. Right. 175 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: It doesn't cook quite the same as just oil, right, 176 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: that's that's well or whatever. With olive oil, UM, and 177 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: you put it in a hot pan, it immediately starts 178 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: to burn because olive oil has a temperature that the 179 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: burn off is like, you know, a hundred and eighty 180 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: degrees or something like that, So your pan is five 181 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: hundred degrees, whereas avocado oil or you know, these other oils, 182 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: the other seed oils have way high burning temperatures like 183 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: four degrees. So it's going to be different, you know, 184 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: of course, because you're not burning the actual product. Olive 185 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: oil really should only be used for like dressings and 186 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: uh finishing oils. Just as a Chris, I gotta actual 187 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: loves the best for me to do my um, what's 188 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: the best for the worst to use for my homemade 189 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: taco shells? Like when you when I actually fry my 190 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 1: own topic should either use lard um like animal fat 191 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: so you can use parks fat, you can use chicken fat, 192 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: you can use beef fat. Or the second best would 193 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: be uh a avocado oil avocado so not not not 194 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: a grape seed or everything? Does the lard give a 195 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: different flavor? Though? Yeah, oh my god, it's amazing. Really, 196 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: it's amazing.

I try to make breakfast 233 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: and then i'd make you know, toast, and I put 234 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 1: butter on the toast, and I'd come in the house 235 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: and I have eggs and bacon. I was all excited 236 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: to feed my dad you know food, and I'd walk 237 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 1: in for for several years until I really caught on 238 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 1: what was going on. And I'd go here, Dad, and 239 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: I'd have some toast there with some butter on it. 240 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, no, I don't want to eat 241 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: any of that.

So as the science major, I kind 284 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: of took that and did all of my papers on 285 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: how cannabis affected the body, whether it went through CB one, 286 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: CB two, how it affected you know our neurological system 287 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: for just in general, right, And so the more that 288 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: I learned, the more that I was I became an advocate, 289 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: was like, why aren't we talking more about this? There 290 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: was there's clearly been like lies perpetrated for years, and 291 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: I found out how political it was, etcetera, etcetera. You 292 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: all know the story. So I then was like, how 293 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: how do I get into this industry? And I realized 294 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: that that moment um that I wanted to eel people, 295 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: but I wanted to be in preventative medicine. So instead 296 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: of going the doctor route and becoming you know, a 297 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: good like every good Middle Eastern boy, a doctor or 298 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: a lawyer, I was like, okay, well I want to 299 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: heal people through food. And I was like missing out 300 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: on all this amazing food. So I basically then had 301 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: this epiphany one day and I told my parents that 302 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: I was gonna leave, and I told my friends I 303 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: was gonna leave. Everyone thought I was crazy. And I 304 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: went over and I started to cook, and I like 305 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: worked my way from bottom bitch up to running the thing, 306 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: and and uh so like that's basically how it all worked, right, 307 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: And then I, uh years, I mean I like years 308 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: of my life. Um and yeah, but like I in 309 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 1: my head, I was like, I know I'm doing the 310 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: right thing. I know there's this fire within me, um 311 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: to to give the world something that they didn't they 312 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: didn't have before. And I was so sick of the brownies, 313 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: so sick of the rice crispy, so sick of all 314 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: the bullshit that is like that we were being given. 315 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,199 Speaker 1: It was awful tasting, and the potency was inconsistent and 316 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: all this stuff. So I basically created this in order 317 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: to um, you know, bring to my very traditional grandparents 318 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: and family and be like, hey, this is what I'm 319 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: doing now. And so the whole method is like one, 320 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: you know exactly how much you're being dosed, and your 321 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: tolerance is taken into account, and the you're gonna get 322 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: the exact dosage throughout a ten course tasting menu, and 323 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: then the or you know, if you wanted different courses, 324 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: we can we figure all that stuff out. But basically, 325 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 1: you get your tolerance throughout the entire meal, not just 326 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: in one little dish right where you eat the brownie 327 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: and then you five minutes later you just get bits 328 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: slapped and then you're on the floor. Uh, contemplating your existence. 329 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: So this is more like a really nice elevated approach 330 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: where it comes in through stages and you have this 331 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: really nice uh come up, rather than like that spike 332 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: that happens. So we try and I devised it so 333 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: that it keeps you in this euphoric zone where you're 334 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: enjoying the meal, you're engaging in the audience around you, 335 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: with the people around you, and you're engaging with the 336 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: meal that that's being served. We use the entirety of 337 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: the plants, so you're not only are you getting like 338 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: th HC in the meal in the beginning of the meal, 339 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: but you're getting full spectrum cannaba doll in the dessert 340 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: courses as well, So it rounds everything out. And then 341 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: during the meal, in paired with the courses, you're having 342 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: a turpene centerpiece that is overflowing on the table where 343 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: you're getting the aroma of certain turpines that are pairing 344 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: with the food that are pairing with the wine. So 345 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: basically I created a whole sensory encompassing experience while the 346 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: person is feeling the effects of cannabis. You know, and 347 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: let me actually, are you micro dosing this dinner or 348 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: is this something that I'm just gonna get slammed at 349 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: or is it up to the client. It's always up 350 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: to the client. Like one, we never want to force 351 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: anybody into getting a psychedelic I don't know if you've 352 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: ever you know, been in that position, but it's not 353 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: it's not it's not fun and it's not something that 354 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: we would ever condone. So it was always like, hey, 355 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit. What have you ever tried 356 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: needable before? Have you ever you know, do you smoke? 357 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: How often do you smoke? Often do you edibles? And 358 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: for the majority of people, they're open to our suggestion, 359 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: which we always suggest ten milligrams of THHC throughout the 360 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: entire meal, the whole the whole meal, which I love that, yeah, 361 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: perfect exact. Everybody still enjoys themselves, you know what I 362 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: mean that one guy's not in the back drolling actually 363 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: do with that chef, because it's like one of those 364 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: through the whole meal, you're having a steak boom by 365 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: the time you get into your this. If you get 366 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: to dessert and you're already too buzzed, you're like, I'm cool, 367 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: I don't want the dessert I'm already, I'm good. If 368 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: if you want to keep going to go up through 369 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: the whole meal, that well, you can always increase the dosage. 370 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: But like we we plan it out because the food, 371 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: to me, the hospitality is in the food and the 372 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: beverage are the most important things year, Like cannabis is 373 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: an accent to the overall meal. It just as cannabis 374 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 1: should be an accent to an overall healthy lifestyle. Like 375 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: if cannabis is your only thing and that's all you 376 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: do every day, that is an abuse of that substance, 377 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: and that could be with anything. So really, what this 378 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: is about is like making sure that we are um 379 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: embracing cannabis in the way. But like it's it's also 380 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: a teaching moment, like, hey, you don't need to have 381 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: a hundred milligrams of in edible in order to enjoy yourself. 382 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 1: And so you create this experience. We we use literally 383 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: the freshest ingredients, We get everything local, we get everything, 384 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: you know, the highest quality that you can possibly get, 385 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 1: and then we create something you know, ten courses that 386 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: are amazing, jaw dropping dishes that you can eat while 387 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: you're enjoying you know, the the actual cannabis, like while 388 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: you're enjoying being I right, you know, I love that because, 389 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: like you said, it sounds really responsible, like your team 390 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: by just you know, a lot of people would say 391 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: thirty milligrams. I'm like, dude, you put me into a 392 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: thirty milligram meal, I'm gonna hate you. I'm gonna be like, like, 393 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: I don't like you right now, dude, because I know 394 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 1: that for me, you know, I have a little tolerance 395 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: because I don't use it every day. So when I 396 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: decide to to to to dive into it, you know, 397 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: six milligrams would be great for me. Three milligrams, I'm cool. Six, 398 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm cool. Tan, I'm like, okay, I'm high and and 399 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: and and it could go either way. But I've done 400 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: thirty and I'm like, damn, dude, I'm triven, Like I'm scared, 401 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: you know. And that's nothing to a lot of our 402 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: our you know, our industry, a lot of our industries popular, 403 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, a thousand milligrams and just keep running. But 404 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: they they've got the they've got them the exercise at it, 405 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: you know. Whereas me, the tolerance, Yeah, the toleance is 406 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: built and I just don't have that tolerance and nor 407 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: do I want to have it. In my younger day, 408 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 1: I had the toleance, you know. I mean, I'd smoke 409 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: every day, blunts, animals, whatever, I could, just garbage panety. 410 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: I think this is where I think we're going in 411 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: society and in a hole in a social environment is 412 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 1: more towards this. Like everybody would get together and come 413 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: over for a dinner and have a bunch of glasses 414 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: of wine and maybe the gentleman has from gentleman Jack 415 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: and step up with a few drinks here and there, 416 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 1: and that's become a norm that we've been accustomed to 417 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: in past. I believe society is moving in a direction 418 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: where Chef Chris and the people have the herbal chef 419 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: are doing a you know, unique high end spot where 420 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: we're coming together for dinner, but we're using that th 421 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: ht thing that's gonna still get you a good comfortable 422 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: environment dinner that you're kind of used to doing in 423 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: the past, but now let's have the thh C to 424 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: that aspect exactly, low dose keeps it nice. What kind 425 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: of regulations are on something like that, Well, I'll get 426 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: into that in a second, but this is exactly like 427 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: I wanted to create. I did create the niche of 428 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 1: cannabis hospitality, so that is like, that's what I'm turning, 429 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, I I coined in this industry is like 430 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: the cannabis hospitality, and now it's turning into a more 431 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: broader version, which is psychedelic hospitality. How do you elevate 432 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: the experience in which somebody can explore their own mind 433 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: or their own you know, have this experience. So that 434 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: is ultimately like where where where where? I think you're 435 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: absolutely right. The whole industry is looking for ways to 436 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: consume in a in a slightly more sophisticated manner that 437 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: isn't all about just getting sucked up sum but like 438 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: the lot of micro does scoring on absolutely which is great. 439 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: And I have a low tolerance like you, like, I'm 440 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: not trying to get I'm not trying to get so 441 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: out of my mind that I can't even enjoy what 442 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: I came there there like this about to go out 443 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: of it?

As Blue kind of mentioned the regulations, how 464 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: are you able to do that and get away with 465 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: it all? Well, you know, the regulations were tough because 466 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 1: in the beginning there was nothing like this, and there 467 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: was also nobody thinking about this, so they were just like, Oh, 468 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: everybody wants uh manufacturing edibles, and everybody wants UH to 469 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: get the joints, and everybody wants flower, and nobody was 470 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: thinking about like, well, where people going to consume? You know, 471 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: what if people want to consume in a social aspect, etcetera, etcetera. 472 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: So we you know, wrote some legislation UM in a 473 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: group that that got turned in and then UM got 474 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: completely adulterated into what's now the West Hollywood UM licensing, 475 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: which is on site consumption. So that is more or 476 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: less UM. You know, there's a space in you can 477 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: have licenses in West Hollywood that are for on site consumption, 478 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: but they do it in such a way that is 479 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: not like a normal consumption area. So the way that 480 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: we've been able to do it, the way that I 481 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: see that the industry actually wants, that people actually want, 482 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: is through private dining.

Like I would be 545 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: more where I would kick somebody off the property if 546 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: they're smoking cigarettes. To be honest, right, You're like, dude, 547 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: you gotta like that is that is detrimental to people's health? 548 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: Versus like smoking some cannabis. YEA, so funny, how true 549 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,280 Speaker 1: that is. And now that you have a cookbook, Sugar High, 550 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,320 Speaker 1: I love it.

If you're starting with a extract, if 556 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: you're starting with flour, if you're starting with hashish, if 557 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: you start with whatever you have. I give you the 558 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: tools and the science to basically create your own extract 559 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: and then how to infuse it into uh these fifty recipes. 560 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: That's awesome.

It's genuinely how I feel, though. I 686 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: genuinely feel that these elements can create such a wonderful 687 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,920 Speaker 1: world if we are to take responsibility for them and 688 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,879 Speaker 1: use them properly and with respect, and like that years 689 00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: where you see Santa Cruz, uh two thousand and ten 690 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: to two thou twelve, and you just stayed there in 691 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: Santa Cruz, did you no?

Um. 693 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,640 Speaker 1: I literally I was on solocybin and I had this 694 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: epiphany of that I needed to take full control over 695 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 1: my life in order to truly be happy. And I 696 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 1: literally like that moment was the last moment. I was like, Okay, 697 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: I'm leaving Santa Cruz. And then I told everybody and 698 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 1: then yeah, and then I literally left and then everyone, 699 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh my god.
