00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,719

101
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: it like it was almost a joke at one point,

102
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: you and a blunt roller, like it's almost a joke.

103
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: I have a king now it's almost a joke. Or

104
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: you hurt like you have my own ankle roller, like

105
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: it's not you know, someone's rowing my ankle all day

106
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: because it's that much pain and blunts it because it's

107
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: that serious he needs a blow and it can be

108
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it certainly is for you, It

109
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: certainly as for other people, and certainly is for the

110
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: blunt roller. It's just like I said, so what would

111
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: be your random one? You know what? Man? I mean,

112
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: look to be right now, you know, in my life

113
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: and I can probably make this one happen. It's just

114
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: it hasn't been something I've ever thought of really pushing

115
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: to do. But it's just someone to go through every

116
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: single one of my emails every day, you know what

117
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean. It's just a professional, you know, assistant that

118
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: will just sit there and like I said, it's probably

119
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: pretty easy to do, and it actually would you know,

120
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: probably makes sense, but I just haven't done probably making

121
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: more money, Yeah, yeah, as you say that, we as

122
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: you say that, we really need to get somebody to

123
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, yeah, that's that one. I mean, you know,

124
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: someone just stay on top of all my my emails

125
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: and my stuff and then even your us you know,

126
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean maybe, but maybe we give him to stand

127
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: about top of both oars and and on our social media,

128
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: our social media, and we got something to do that,

129
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: like one personal system that just nailed those things on

130
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: our personal level work point, but they need to do

131
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: our personal too. Yeah. Yeah, because they did our personal ones,

132
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I think we'll we'd be a

133
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: lot better off to man so, and like I said,

134
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,240

135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: good business. We do a lot of great things. But

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: it's just it would take so much of a mind's

137
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: mind off, the stress off me, the you know, the

138

216
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle? Because really for marketing reasons, I'm

225
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: thing and I felt it was very good because I

226
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: used it strictly for pain. You see me limping you see,

227
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,680

Speaker 1: all the veterans that don't realize h V g C

232
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: is of course Brian. He's a former Marine Navy. If

233
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: you haven't heard him on the past podcast and this

234
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: is your first one. He's known in our phones as

235
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Mr Badass. He's led a group of Marines from known

236
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: as the Raiders. And what do you have for us

237
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: on the show today? Brother? Well, boys, I'm gung ho

238
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 1: about this one. Gun holds gun ho. Let me tell

239
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: you so. Gung ho was made famous by Lieutenant Evans

240
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Carlson the second Marine Raider Battalion back in World War Two.

241
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: And what it means is to work together, to work

242
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: in harmony, and that's what we all need to do

243
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: here in the cannabis community and cannabis prohibition. So I

244
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: think it's a great way of starting things out. Gung ho.

245
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: So gun ho literally come from a military phrase. There, huh.

246
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely so he was actually a communist, but that's cool.

247
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: We're America. We're all about that, whoever you are. So

248
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: it comes from communists trying out there. You what I'm saying, like,

249
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: because once they figured out yeah, I mean like, hey,

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: I told you what he was whatever, marine was a communist, Like,

251
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: yeah he was, but heck he worked it worked out

252
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: for us. I'm glad he was on our side. And

253
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360

284
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, and and Joe and I I think it

285
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: was very like eyebrow raising for us when we went

286
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: to a cannamed because we we were you know, a

287
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: lot of the events that I think lately we had

288
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: been going to were very um, you know, let's bring

289
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: out you know, artists to make it cultural driven and

290
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: and that's fun, you know, but but I think different.

291
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: But when you get like, you know, down to let's say,

292
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: a um, you know veteran. You know a lot of

293
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: these veterans are using the product because they need it.

294
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: You know, this is not and and and there's a

295
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: great amount of them they probably use it just to

296
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: be because recreational or adult use. Go ahead and go ahead,

297
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and there's not there's nothing wrong with it because and

298
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: if there is, and then there's something wrong with all

299
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: of us going home and having a drink too, right,

300
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: you know. And that's where it's like, you know, if

301
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you start to think, you know for a second that

302
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: all of us, you know, we're not you know, you're

303
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: human and that you're perfect, well that's different to you.

304
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: But but going into it is that we were kind

305
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: of in this. You know, we went to Cannama and

306
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: we got to see this um, you know, this event

307
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: and it was just like everybody there was about the

308
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: science and about the health benefits, and they have nothing

309
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: to do with you know, any kind of like Hey,

310
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: it's and I feel that way about a lot of veterans.

311
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: So I think this is super important. And it sounds

312
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: like Todd hopefully is doing the same thing over there

313
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: in good old Kansas. It's just true, Todd. Could we

314
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: say that you're putting together an event like yeah, you know,

315
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: I think we're at a really unique moment in time,

316
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: and I'm actually in a unique geographic position, you know,

317
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: living in Kansas City, Missouri. Um, you know, I get

318
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: to see the world as a US Army veteran, a

319
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: West Point graduated, former diplomat, and medical canvas patient. However,

320
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: when I crossed the street from Kansas City, Missouri into

321
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Kansas, I'm immediately a criminal. And uh, you know,

322
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: I like to point that out as this major dichotomy

323
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: and a representation of what cannabis prohibition looks like for

324
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: a veteran in in the Midwest, but also point out

325
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity that is here and trying to draw the

326
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: attention of the Department of Defense as well as the

327
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: Veterans Administration as to the opportunity to conduct observational research.

328
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: As you know, thousands of veterans are beginning to transition

329
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: from pharmaceutical medications or more traditional types of therapies into

330
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: medical cannabis and really capture the feedback and and follow

331
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: this store and be a part of a conversation, which

332
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: is a major thing that I'm trying to do, uh

333
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: in the Kansas City area. Uh you know, I I

334
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: retired in eighteen and I chose in sixteen to to

335
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: move to Kansas City, UM from my previous duty stations

336
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: in Europe. And I did it because Missouri was moving

337
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: towards medical cannabis regulation. Uh. They were trying to get

338
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: on the ballot in ten and they failed by about

339
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:10,120
Speaker 1: twenty six signatures. And UH in ten we finally got

340
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: it over the line. I was able to be an

341
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: activist in the community, and I'm very proud of that

342
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: and continue activism, UM and tea. We got it over

343
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: the line. And in Missouri we have a really exceptional

344
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: medical cannabis program with a huge list of qualifying conditions,

345
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: super low tax rate, access all over the state. And uh,

346
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to draw the attention of the

347
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Department of defense to this place as a potential platform

348
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: upon which to conduct some observational research and again, you know,

349
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: be a part of hosting a continuous conversation about medical

350
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: cannabis and veterans and eventually active duty military. Um. So

351
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: I'll stop there for a moment. If you have any

352
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: response to the you know, I think that's so big

353
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: on what's going on right now, because obviously we are

354
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: doing our observational study out here in California. You get

355
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: people like Todd who's working at their Missouri and again

356
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: it goes back to GungHo working together, working in harmony.

357
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: We know it works. Go up and look in the

358
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: pub men, and look at what Niamedic has already done.

359
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: They've proven it works to reduce your symptoms of post

360
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: max stress. If the Congress gets hit with all these

361
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: studies coming back and with positive results, they can't deny

362
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. And when you have high rankings like yourself.

363
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, Todd, I apologize that we didn't

364
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: start off by blue and ice saying thank you for

365
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: your service, and we thank you. That's the first thing.

366
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: I apologize that that didn't come out for off top.

367
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: But we feel this and by the way, is my pleasure? Well?

368
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: And I think it's because we waited seven hours to

369
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: do the damn zoom. I might have sent off the zoom.

370
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: So I apologize Thatarsal. We've been on zoom for four

371
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: hours and now we're finally recording the show. But on

372
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: the show I didn't say it. So thank you for

373
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: your service. Todd off top seriously, and I look at

374
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: what you guys are doing, and from is it? I

375
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: bet better? I want to ask the question to you, guys.

376
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: I have a high ranking raider Marine. I have a

377
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: high ranking sergeant from the Army, lieutenant colonel assuming lieutenant

378
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: colonel from the Army. You two are high ranked military

379
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: gentlemen right on two separate, uh branches of our military.

380
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: We have four branches of our military. Correct, you guys

381
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: are representing two of them. It's fair to say you

382
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: represent half of the military. Correct, have too on a

383
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: higher level? Correct? Now that being said, do the other

384
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: branches meaning Air, Air Force, and Navy agree from a

385
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: high ranking standpoint as you guys and Brian, are you

386
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 1: gonna bring high ranking Navy and Marines cats to this program?

387
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: And that are speaking and preaching the same thing, you

388
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: guys are. You know, absolutely, I have some colonels and

389
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: a couple of generals that we will be bringing on

390
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: who are part of our nonprofit. But I think, Todd,

391
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: why don't you highlight the work that we're all doing

392
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: together at Veterans Action Council where we all just kind

393
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: of came together to check how each other was doing

394
00:20:55,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: in COVID and then grew into something pretty massive. Awesome. Yeah, absolutely,

395
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: And of course I'll give you a little bit of

396
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: very vernacular guys that you'll run with. When two or

397
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: more services are working together, that's called a joint operation.

398
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: So I think we really give new meaning to that

399
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: joint operation, that joint operation operation. Perfect there, Todd, no

400
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: play on words. But Todd, actually, over across the river

401
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 1: from where I am, just just fifteen minutes from from

402
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: where I live, on the other side of the Missouri

403
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: River is Fort Leavenworth, which is really the center of

404
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: Army thought leadership. And in the basement of that building

405
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: of the Command of General Staff College UM is a

406
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: is a place called the Joint Pub And you know,

407
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: at one point, you know, I hope the host you

408
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: guys there for a reception at the joint pub and

409
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: UH and discuss the military area in cannabis. Um, you

410
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: know together it is honestly, it is the veteran voice

411
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: that is going to break the back of prohibition, right

412
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: we all know kind of the the re legalization of

413
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: cannabis started almost immediately with the prohibition of cannabis, or

414
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: at least the naming of the War on drugs, right

415
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy, when the War on Drugs was proclaimed

416
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: and normal was formed and activists started to lift their

417
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: voices and say this is bullshit. Um, you know, this

418
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: is this is when you know, we really started the conversation.

419
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: So since nineteen seventy, the re legalization of cannabis has

420
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: has had you know, deep imprint from the veteran community.

421
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: And you know, it started really in nine in my

422
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: home state of California as well, when we legalized for

423
00:22:53,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: for medical use, when veterans like Jack Harror and UH

424
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: and Dennis for Rohn and and folks like that all

425
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: banded together and got medical cannabis legalized. And then I

426
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: would say historically in the two thousands, when Charlotte Fighi

427
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: and the concept of CBD came online and people saw UH,

428
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: the doctors on CNN Sanjay Gupta saying that you know,

429
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: he was wrong about cannabis and it does have medical benefit.

430
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: It really started to change much more rapidly, and now

431
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: I believe that it's time for the veteran voice to

432
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: not just deliver kind of like the killing blow to prohibition.

433
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: What I like to point out is that we have

434
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: an opportunity to to to really showcase and an opportunity

435
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 1: for um, for the Department of Defense, for the Veterans Administration,

436
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: and for our society, because veterans are one element that

437
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: permeate all across society. Uh. But we have a moment

438
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: where we can begin medical cannabis research with purpose in mind,

439
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: and that would be to save the lives of thousands

440
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: and thousands of veterans across the country. Also positively in

441
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: fact their families, because we all know very well Briano's

442
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: is very well when a when a soldier or a

443
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: marine is addicted or suffering from something, Uh, it is

444
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: the family as a whole that really suffers the most.

445
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: So we're certainly very purpose driven about it. Um as

446
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: Brian saying, you know, um, I work with the Veterans

447
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Action Council. We get on the phone at least once

448
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: a week. They're about three meetings a week that we

449
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: have where it's just veterans who are really in the

450
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: in the activist community, as well as in the business community,

451
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: the research community. Basically, it's for any veteran and they

452
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: can they can join and listen in and participate whenever

453
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: they want um. But this is a team of people

454
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: who are getting it done and they've been getting it

455
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: done since the early stays. Uh, it's it's started. It

456
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: was started by et Tienne Fontaine who is is the

457
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: founder of the Berkeley Patients Group and still you know,

458
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: runs Berkeley Patients Group. He's an Army veteran, as well

459
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: as a guy named Michael Crowitz, who hopefully you've had

460
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: on the show or we will have on the show

461
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: in the future, that has been a an activist at

462
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: least Air Force veteran, and he's gone so far as

463
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: to write the language for the u N World Health

464
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: Organization that was then presented to the United Nations, which

465
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: removed cannabis from the schedule for at the u N level,

466
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 1: which is their list of most dangerous drugs, so it's

467
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: removed from that, opening up a world of research opportunities

468
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: on a global scale. And I'll leave with that because

469
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: I think we should go in the nationalists. You know,

470
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: first of all, thank you Todd again just for sharing

471
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: that all with us. It's so it's so important. And

472
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: one thing you know, I'm asking you both, you know,

473
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: Brian and you and yourself to do is this and

474
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: and it's it's important to me because I've been in

475
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: this industry of a freaking long time. And one thing

476
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: that that I need to happen is is all of

477
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: the veteran groups out there need to come together. I mean,

478
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: we might not all have the same views, but we

479
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: all are human, we all have the same plant behind us,

480
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: We're all have the same goal and if that's the case,

481
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: you know that we need to all make sure that.

482
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm asking you guys to to to be

483
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: those guys because I know not all of you guys

484
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: aligned the same way, you know what I mean. And

485
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: that's just people in general, right, Not not all cannabis

486
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: shows are gonna ligne the same way companies in the

487
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: tech world are gonna. But it doesn't have to be

488
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: like you know, I'm just saying that the veterans of

489
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: all things, because I seen, in my opinion, power would

490
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: be you know, fifty the veteran groups out there, you

491
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: guys all come together. I'll get behind that. And then

492
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: obviously Todd's we're behind yours, you know if Brian, we

493
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: we we're backing you guys. But but the the play

494
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: is to get all of you guys together and come

495
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: up with something that's brilliant. And it doesn't even have

496
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 1: to be the same goals, you know what I mean.

497
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: It could be about a product line that you guys

498
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: all pushed for, you know, um, for other veterans. If

499
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: I may, we get a bunch of veterans here, we

500
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,719

00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: I talked to you personally, when I called you on

519
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,919

520
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,520

00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: bringing the people that you love and respect that I

522
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: immediately and blew immediately love and respect. And so when

523
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 1: you bring these cats on here like this, man, it

524
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: really means the world to us, because Todd, everything that

525
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: you're doing out there in Kansas City is so important

526
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: to the world for not only veterans but even non

527
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: veterans that I have my in laws that live out

528
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: there in Wichita area, you know area. So I'm out

529
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: in the Kansas area, and as you said, you can

530
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: cross that state line and it's illegal. I mean, you know,

531
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna go, oh no, it's not something

532
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: you gotta think of some of these veterans you don't

533
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: have access in the states that they're in. We're gonna

534
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: have another guest you're eventually who just did some great

535
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: breakthrough in Louisiana. But back to Blues point, which is

536
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: like really hits me home to me, is you know,

537
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: where a nation built on compromise and we got veteran

538
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: groups kind of buttoning heads with each other because they

539
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: don't have a hundred percent agreement. You know, we gotta

540
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: look back and think about what we have done for

541
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: our country and what as veterans we can do for

542
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: our countries. Because people in Congress I can walk up

543
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: to and say, hey, you sent me to war, now

544
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: it's your turn to fix me. They don't have much

545
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: they can fight back on that one. And that's why

546
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: it's great having people like Goodine and everyone on our show.

547
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: And you know, Todd, I wanted to. I know you

548
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: got a big event come up in November called HEMP

549
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: for Victories. Is another great opportunity for a bunch of

550
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: veterans to come together. I think it would be great

551
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: if you kind of tell the story of where the

552
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: Hemp for Victory came from and then what you guys

553
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: are hoping to accomplish at your conference. Yeah. Absolutely, U.

554
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: So Him for Victory if you know a bit about

555
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: the history of of cannabis prohibition in the United States

556
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: in n seven, we prohibited cannabis in In nineteen forty two,

557
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: after the Second World War becan and we lost control

558
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: of the Philippine right, and you'll remember another West Point

559
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: grad leaving the Philippines in nineteen forty two saying I

560
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: shall return. Um, we we lost access to him. Yes, so, yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah,

561
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: Mike McArthur back. Um. Yeah. So they created this program

562
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 1: called Hemp for Victory, which which basically taught farmers to

563
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: grow cannabis again, to grow hemp again for military purposes

564
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: because we needed it for ropes, for our for our ships,

565
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: for clothing, for webbing and tents and things of that nature.

566
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: So it was the first time really that we um,

567
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, re legalized cannabis for military purposes. And now

568
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: I think we're in a moment of real need when

569
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: we've got you know, a significant suicide rate, we've got

570
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: addiction rate and overdose rates within the military and within

571
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: the vecteran community. We're in a moment of real need

572
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: and I think it's time that we re legalized cannabis

573
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: again for for a very similar purpose, you know, to

574
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: save the lives of veterans. So we created this um

575
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: foundation called the Himp for Victory Foundation, which just became

576
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: a five and one C three. The first event that

577
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: we had was in November, November six of of of

578
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: last year, after the Army Air Force Game in Dallas, Texas.

579
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Army beat the Air Force Academy. If you're if you're wondering,

580
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: but immediately after the game, thank you, so and so.

581
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: The after the game, we we hosted a party with

582
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: about two d and fifty veterans, active duty military personnel.

583
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: General officers, flag officers, senior and ceohs came for this

584
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: event to talk about cannabis. And we held it in

585
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman's Bar in this building. Yeah exactly. That's like

586
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: a that's a right, He's an icon a big time.

587
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 1: And what it did is it kind of, uh, you know,

588
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: fired up the electroan community within Texas to try to

589
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: push for further medical cannabis legalization, and in Texas he's

590
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: a big Cowboys quarterback with a yeah, I'll give him

591
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: credit for what he's doing. But I'm an Eagles fans.

592
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm no necessarily because my boy, but I like the

593
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: work he's doing now, so I'm good with it. He's

594
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: trying to help out the veterans. That's that's all that matters. Now.

595
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: Was this at West Point too when they did all this? No? No, no,

596
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: this was this was in Dallas. The game was the

597
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Force. Jerry's work, Jerry. I've actually been to Jerry's

598
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: world one time for a Cowboys Raider game on Thanksgiving,

599
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: and for me, it was one of those magical moments.

600
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: And I think they should always have the games like

601
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: that where the Navy Versity Army at a big venue

602
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: you ready for us? With that the I think they

603
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: should tour it around the country meaning Stanford meaning the Colosseum,

604
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: here in California meaning Oregon at the Ducks, you know

605
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 1: what I mean, Pac Tandon, then go to the big

606
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: schools all across the country, because I think it's one

607
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: of those things the two big rivals, you know, Navy

608
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: and Air for let's go Yeah, well, Army Navy. I

609
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: mean they do mix it up a little bit. I

610
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: know they Philadelphia, it's like the Neutral area where they

611
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: usually play it, and then sometimes they'll play at the

612
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Giant State of New York near West Point, and they'll

613
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: play down in Baltimore near Annapolis where Enaval in Washington.

614
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: I get it. I feel like everything's out there on

615
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: the East Coast because of all the military and the

616
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: government is where it's at. I really wish that they

617
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: would do that around the country though. But you want

618
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: to hear a crazy story about Hemp for Victory and

619
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: Todd correct me if I'm wrong. So Jack harreyra knew

620
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: of this thing called Hemp for Victory video we put

621
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: out in World War Two. On Todd's point, today, hey,

622
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: we need to grow hemp and all that stuff. After

623
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: World War Two ended, it was like foopoo foo food

624
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: moose gone never existed. So he actually went Jack harreyor

625
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: to the Library of Congress, and I heard his son,

626
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: Dan Wrayer tell his story looking all over for it.

627
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: The it's not here, it's not here. He's like, well,

628
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: what's behind that door there, Like, oh, that's where old

629
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: fire things went. We put it back there. He literally

630
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: found a video of Hemp for Victory where it's like

631
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: promoting it and doing everything. So the government literally needed

632
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: for a time a war. They're like, it never happened,

633
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: let's not talk about it. How crazy is the closets? Yes? Yeah,

634
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: like the last door Jack Herrera looked in bang there

635
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: it was. There's some legends in the game that you

636
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: really have no idea. Who are doing what? Todd. I'm

637
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 1: so curious, as you know, how did you even find

638
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: cannabis being in the military like that, being such a

639
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: high ranked army guy. Were you in the army just

640
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: like cutting into the left and going to get high

641
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: really and then telling all your you know, army guys, Hey,

642
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: don't smoke weed. I'm just doing it. And how did

643
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: you get involved? Yeah, it's I think it's kind of

644
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: an interesting story. It's a little bit unique. So I

645
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: was an armor off officer first when I graduated West Point,

646
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: I was a tank manager, you know, at a tank platoon,

647
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: and then a scout platoon, and then I commanded a

648
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: cavalry troop UM in Germany right uh. And after that, though,

649
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: I became what's called a foreign area officer, which is

650
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: an officer that the army trains to focus on particular regions.

651
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: We learn language, we learn uh you know, we do

652
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 1: a master's degree in international security affairs focused on that region,

653
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: and then we do time in the country, UM, and

654
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: we provide strategic advice to our general officers, to our diplomats,

655
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: the ambassadors, and things of that nature. I was the

656
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: Army attache in Bosnia. I had been the defense attashe

657
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: in Slovenia, and at one point I was the liaison

658
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: officer to the French Army. So I lived in Paris

659
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 1: for two years. From there, I was deployed to Afghanistan

660
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: to work for a marine. Right, So this is for you, Brian.

661
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: My whole journey, the whole thing was kicked off by

662
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 1: one question from a four star marine, a guy named

663
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: General John Allen, who's now the head of the Brookings Institution.

664
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: I was serving as a special advisor to him on

665
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: on his staff, helping him prepare for meetings with any

666
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: foreign dignitary UM, presidents, prime ministers, chiefs of defense, and

667
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: really got to watch as this incredibly smart man executed

668
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: global geopolitical strategy. UM. He said, I want you guys

669
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to create an industry for

670
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Afghanistan using the resources that they have. And so and

671
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: I even often like they got three things. You know,

672
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 1: They've got opium and we really had no use for that.

673
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: They had really rare minerals, and China bought all the

674
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: rights to them, and then they had we tons and

675
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: tons of intervist that had increased tenfolds since our arrival

676
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one. Um and so I said, well,

677
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: why don't you transition them over to a hemp industry

678
00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: right with food fuel, fiber, arnt, mar edison almost too

679
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: small of these things that they try to push on, like, hey,

680
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: go grow some rice. You know how hard that is.

681
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, not gonna work. Um. Yeah, and so,

682
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: knowing that they already know how to grow this plant,

683
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, the plant would also

684
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: cross pollenly with high th HC cannabis, and and you

685
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: know that would garner less profit in a prohibition market

686
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: was an extra bonus. But you know, they I thought

687
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 1: it was genius. They thought I was cheech and chong

688
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: I was. I was just hooked on the subject because

689
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 1: I saw the impact of prohibition after a while, impacting

690
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: four main things, right, um, and the re legalization really

691
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,359
Speaker 1: being able to impact these four three things or four things, uh,

692
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 1: meaning social justice and fairness overall. You know the fact

693
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: that we've put human beings in a cage for a

694
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: plant that is so therapeutically active and it's like, you know,

695
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 1: saving saving people's lives across the board is just ridiculous.

696
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: There are economic impacts along, Uh. There are economic impacts

697
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: that are created both on an individual level for business owners,

698
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: all the way to a national level. If you look

699
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: at Canada or you know, or or US, you know,

700
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:22,359
Speaker 1: there's a multibillion dollar industry. Uh, sustainability impacts that are

701
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: taking place, and so much to be learned there as

702
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: we try to grow this plant really efficiently and really effectively,

703
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: and then finally major impacts on health and wellness. And

704
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: so when I kind of started recognizing that and that

705
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: the United States was changing very very rapidly, in Europe,

706
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: where I was living, had started to change rapidly, I

707
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: was I was just hooked. I knew that there was

708
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: a major paradigm shift taking place and that I wanted

709
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: to be a part of the conversation. Because I was

710
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: listening to veterans who were saying that cannabis was saving

711
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: their lives. Yet whenever I brought it up in polite

712
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: convert station while in uniform, I got some sort of

713
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,920
Speaker 1: a pop pun or a giggle or something like that.

714
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: So now you know, my mission is really set the

715
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: stage to set conditions for a conversation of cannabis and

716
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: veterans and how the v A and the d O

717
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: D could lead that research and lead us into the

718
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: future the way the military has done for a long time.

719
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: You know, Todd, I'm kind of blown away by what

720
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: you just said because we were probably in Afghanistan around

721
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 1: the same time, like a two thousand twelve. I know

722
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 1: General Allen had the command of the battle space then,

723
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: and I remember two things. They kept saying, Hey, we

724
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: want all these people to go out and grow rice.

725
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 1: And we're like, do you know how I thought it

726
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: was sarcastic. Now how about when he drops so general this,

727
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm like hearing what they're in Afghanistan Like they're big.

728
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: I've just seen this big picture of like oh my

729
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 1: godh my god. So we're trying to say, go teach

730
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: them how like grow rice, where like that is so hard.

731
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: Literally it's called weed like in its third out, it's

732
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: going to grow and then I'll never forget. So I

733
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: had in charges the seventh Afghan Special Operations Battalion and

734
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: they had this one officer come in, a US Army officer,

735
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: and he's like, I need a drug test all your Afghans.

736
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay. They all pissed hot. And he's like,

737
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: my god, what do we do? And I'm like, well,

738
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: what do you want to do. He's like, I think

739
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: we need to shut down this program. And I'm like, okay,

740
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a number two the Secretary of

741
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: Defense in the president United Stations to tell him we're

742
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: shutting down the special Operations program in Afghanistan and he

743
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 1: literally looked at me, went okay, And I'm like, Lieutenant,

744
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 1: let's think about this first. That ain't gonna happen. I'm like,

745
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: it's part of their culture. I just don't want them

746
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: high on duty if they're gonna do whatever whatever, you know.

747
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: But it's like, let's let's be realistic. So what Todd

748
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: was bringing to the table was a very realistic, common

749
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 1: sense idea that could have been profound for the economic

750
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: stability of that nation, and everyone called him Tommy Chong. Nice.

751
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: Now now it's Tommy and now it's a joke, said

752
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: west Point, Who's not like you know, West Points not

753
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: you know even the exactly we don't just get in

754
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: the West. But it's like, it's the point to just

755
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: even make a joke of that. It's it's just kind

756
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: of it's it's not it's not a hypocrisy, that's what

757
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: it is. And it's ridiculous on top of propaganda issue,

758
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: like you're doing all these things and make it seem

759
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: like what it's not. Because he's at West Point Grant

760
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: in an army suit, he can't talk about cannabis and

761
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: it's sucking smirky. Well, one thing is this, we we

762
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: got to remember this. Cannabis for over three thousand years

763
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: has been a medicine up until the last seventy okay,

764
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: and so we have to you know, sometimes think about

765
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: people that are in their seventies and eighties, sixties, seventies

766
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: and eighties and even you know, fifties. Quite frankly, they've

767
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: been trained because the last seventy years cannabis has been

768
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: illegal and demnified as you know, some kind of a

769
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: drug and Medijuan Os and and this and that and

770
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: three thousand years this has been a medicine. But in

771
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: the last seventy years it started to really change because

772
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 1: of the Cotton well, the Hirsh family and all the

773
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: stories that we've heard. So so again it's that language

774
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: for seventy years that have made the crack, the jokes

775
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 1: and and and and quite frankly, I've got it for

776
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: many years, you know, from my family neighborhood. Yeah, well

777
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: my mom, me, even my own mother until she started realizing,

778
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: until she's seen, you know, children that were sick, until

779
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: she's her own brother. I'm sitting there with my with

780
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: my mom going, well, you know he has PTSD, right,

781
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: he was in Vietnam, and she goes, I never thought

782
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: of that. I'm like, well, why do you think he

783
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: locks his doors? Why do you think he you know,

784
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 1: he damned her he puts he doesn't he doesn't even

785
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: smoke weed. And I'm like, well, maybe that'll help different result.

786
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: But he but my uncle, so you know, he's so

787
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: caught into like I've got to nail the door shut

788
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: and or no this stuff. And when I go to sleep,

789
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: we've got a double lot and it's it's like Mom,

790
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: he has PTSD and she she's over here talking about

791
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 1: it like, and I'm like, you don't get it, like

792
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: and the onayson I get is because we're in the

793
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: cannabis industry, we're trying to put the good works out

794
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: and talk to Yeah, these these men that have that

795
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: have fought for our country three and when women for

796
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 1: that matter, and and you know, it's it's so important,

797
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: you know. And and I think again the key component

798
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: is that it's been seventy years that this plant has

799
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: been you know, damn day a problem and three three,

800
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: three thousand years has it's been a medicine prior to that,

801
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: and it's just now coming back and and thank god

842
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: the way that you know, I really got into the

843
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: industry as well when I learned that the prohibition of

844
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: cannabis was directed um specifically at the Mexican American population

845
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: or the Mexican population. That that's something that really kind

846
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: of threw me off because I grew up in Bakersfield, California,
