53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: wife on four twenty, which was very nice. But ten

54
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: years in the making and it's already winning awards and

55
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: it's about cannabis. How did you guys partner up with

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: Oaksterdam to do it? Was it a partnership first with Oaksterdam?

57
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Was it something else that you guys started filming and

58
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: then got the partnership with Oaksterdam. Tell me the story

59
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 2: of how this all came about.

60
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 3: It's not a partnership, it's.

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 4: We fell in love with what they do and we've

62
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: just decided to follow them. We are independent filmmakers, and

63
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: we started filming them because we heard it's going to

64
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: be legalized in twenty ten, and we said.

65
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 3: This is going to be a revolution. We've got to

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: film the revolution.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: And we just followed them for a decade and we

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 4: didn't think it's going to be so long. We finished

69
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 4: the film after they lost Prop nineteen and the film

70
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: was just it was such a downer. It didn't go anywhere.

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 4: So we kind of were down too for a while.

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 4: And then it sounded in twenty twelve that like they

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: were picking up the pieces and trying again, so we said,

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: let's keep going. And every year it was like, oh,

75
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: this year it's going to happen. No, this year's going

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: to happen this And by twenty sixteen, when actually they

77
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: legalized in California, we were so invested by then in

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: Dale Sky Jones' personal journey that we were like, Okay,

79
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: we want to stick a little bit more. See how

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 4: she's trying to actually bring the change to the federal level,

81
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 4: and we followed her all the way to when she

82
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 4: gave it a testimony.

83
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: At the House and Capitol.

84
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: Hill, and that we felt, okay, that's a good time

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: to stop and start sharing the film with the world.

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: Wow, so walk us through. Then it started. It's a

87
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: ten year journey. You guys looked at this California green rush,

88
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: so to speak, and said, oh, and then how did

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: and why did you pick Oaksterdam?

90
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: So what happened was in twenty ten, Oaksterdam, can you

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 5: hear me?

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: I can hear you? Connor? Can you fix this Mike

93
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: a little better? Please?

94
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: Though?

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead?

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 5: In twenty ten, everybody's in Fox you name it. All

97
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: the big networks were kind of reporting about Prop nineteen,

98
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 5: which was the first campaign in I think forty or

99
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 5: fifty years to try to legalize marijuana that made it

100
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 5: to the ballot. But everybody was making fun of them

101
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 5: because everybody treated them as a group of stoners in

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: California want to legalize it, and it seemed like a

103
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: joke because nobody thought it even had a chance. But

104
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 5: some are I heard them and I thought, wow, I

105
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: think these guys are serious and then we went and

106
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 5: met them, and it felt different. It felt different than

107
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 5: all the other people I've ever seen in my life

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 5: really trying to legalize. I felt, this is a group

109
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 5: of hardcore activists that have the passion, but also at

110
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 5: the same time, they had enough support, you know, both

111
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: within the movement and outside of the movement to create

112
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 5: some noise. So I was like, let's go. And unlike

113
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 5: the media of the other medias that were kind of

114
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 5: making fun of them, I treated this is the serious thing.

115
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 5: And it's hard to believe, you know, a little over

116
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 5: ten years later that now nobody is joke making fun

117
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: any more.

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: It's not a joke.

119
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's for real. At the time, people thought a

120
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 5: group of stoners, you know, smoke too much and they

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 5: think they can actually legalize. But it's amazing, it's less.

122
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 5: It's a little over ten years and so much change

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 5: has happened.

124
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: I mean, and as you watch, you're so right. You

125
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: guys literally said let's go film the revolution exactly and

126
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: you have ten yured how long is the movie?

127
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 3: An hour and a half.

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: When we started, everybody in the movement that we interviewed said, oh,

129
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: they're going to roll back all the achievement that we had.

130
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: They're going to actually make us look so bad that

131
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 4: the show that the American people have no interest in legalizing.

132
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 3: That's going to roll back.

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: All our achievements of the last forty years of fighting

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: for legalization. And our friends were basically making fun of

135
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 4: us for wasting time on even filming those hopeless idealists.

136
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: And they really showed that the American public was much

137
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 4: readier than anybody realized to this change.

138
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: Where are you guys from? Where do you guys originate from?

139
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: We're from Israel, From Israel.

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: I think that's why they let us film, because I

141
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 5: think when I was filming there, it seemed like they

142
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 5: were not really trusting anybody with cameras because you know,

143
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: back in the day, it feels like ages ago, but

144
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 5: it was, you know, twenty ten. You didn't know if

145
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 5: somebody is filming you talking about marijuana if you're from

146
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 5: the DA, FBI, CIA. So they didn't trust anybody. But

147
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: when Richard, who was leading that campaign, he talked to me,

148
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 5: I said, how come you trust me? He said, with

149
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: your accent.

150
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: You ain't working for the day in this country. That

151
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: played for your benefit there, right exactly? I can see

152
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: that being the case.

153
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 4: But I also think that there's something with the foreign

154
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: I that in a way we could see something that

155
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: the other basically people here don't see what other people

156
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 4: look like a joke. We could see that this was

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 4: a serious effort and worthy of times. I think sometimes

158
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: when you have this outsider look, you see things differently,

159
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: and you might spot things that people from the inside

160
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: won't recognize, like an important historical movement in them happening.

161
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: I mean you would hope and think by now too,

162
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: that somebody would have already had something right and put

163
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: something out south that's been following things and journeys like

164
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: this for that long. But obviously nobody put the time

165
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: in the effort like you guys did. I can just

166
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: see you guys going further and further with this, and

167
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 2: it getting bigger and bigger, and hopefully getting bought by

168
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: a big company, going, hey man, we want your footage,

169
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 2: and we want to add some theatrics to this and

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: make this a full on motion picture. Is that the

171
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: dream is that the goal of the dreams, right? I mean,

172
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm thinking going as an independent filmmakers, your goal would

173
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: be I did this, but please buy my idea buy

174
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: my footage and let's rock and roll.

175
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: Look, it's more than buying the idea. It's more about

176
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 5: trying to bring this story to the masses.

177
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: Because I mean there's that too of why you did

178
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 2: You did it for the passion everything. I get that,

179
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: and I agree with it. Obviously, it's been a ten

180
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: year passion project because it didn't pay you guys now

181
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 2: before it was done, you know, I mean, it's still like, Okay,

182
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 2: now we have all this time and effort that we

183
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: put into it, it'd be nice.

184
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 5: It would be nice.

185
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm just second if I was part of the team,

186
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: you know. Yeah, And not only that, it's it's a

187
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: a wonderful thing that you did, and it's great that

188
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: you had the eye to see this, to have the vision,

189
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. From Israel going oh, well, cannabis,

190
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 2: we're doing research over here. Ten years ago they're doing

191
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: research in Israel. You kind of have a logist of

192
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 2: a little bit about what's going on in cannabis because Israel,

193
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: in my opinion, has been ahead of the game in

194
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: cannabis for the last twenty years in my opinion, right,

195
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: So for those who don't know that, you should realize

196
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: what Israel's been doing and studying and focusing on, but

197
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: then to come here and go, oh shit, they're probably

198
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: going to be legalizing it in California.

199
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: So right, I thought, if anyway, you know, what happened

200
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: in California FETs to America, and what happened in America

201
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 5: fits the world. So I thought, if anywhere would happen,

202
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 5: you know, if any stay legalized, it's gonna start in California.

203
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: And that's just so funny. We're gonna pick your brains

204
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: more about this, you guys. Americanpotstory dot com is the websites.

219
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 2: the amazing filmmakers and producers Dan and Robis husband and wife,

220
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: and Ravison. I remember talking to you on four twenty

221
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: and Ali was just so pumped up on it. I'm

222
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 2: so pumped up on it. You guys have ten years

223
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: of footage. You guys have been shooting this is there

224
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: like the extended version, because an hour and a half

225
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: just doesn't seem like enough.

226
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: So true.

227
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean. Thank you, Connor. It's

228
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 2: like you. I was expecting to hear four and a

229
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: half hours, you know what I mean, and only that

230
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: I want to see four and a half. I want

231
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: to take a break. I wanted to be like the

232
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: whatever big long movie that Shawshank Redemption or something crazy

233
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 2: long are You're the Godfather.

234
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 4: I love hearing this because what took us a very

235
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 4: long time was exactly Distilling ten years into just an

236
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 4: hour and a half was definitely not easy. It was

237
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: finding the right balance between the personal stories of the

238
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: people who are at the forefront of this fight and

239
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 4: the blood, sweat and tears that they put into it,

240
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: and the price they paid for their efforts.

241
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: And there's definitely a price.

242
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: As you know, the government can retaliate against you when

243
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: you try too hard to affect change. So this definitely

244
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 4: was the hardest part, just distilling it into an hour

245
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: and a half. But I think what we're going to do,

246
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: and I love what you're thinking. We'd definitely have on

247
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: our website with time kind of the scenes that were

248
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: left on the cutting room floors floor, because I think

249
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: for the outsiders, for people who know nothing about the movement,

250
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: it was very important for us to make a film

251
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 4: that they will want to see because we don't want

252
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: to preach to the choir. We want to make sure

253
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 4: people who need to understand that their perception of the plant,

254
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 4: their perception of the policy was wrong, or that the

255
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 4: policy is wrong itself.

256
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 3: We need them to see this movie.

257
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 4: So we made a movie that you can show in churches,

258
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: and we have shown it in churches. We have made

259
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 4: a movie that can be anywhere where it's good for

260
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 4: people to have a discussion and reevaluate if the policy we.

261
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: Have on a federal level is right. So for that was.

262
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 4: Important to make it compact as possible. But we're right,

263
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 4: we should have a longer version, maybe for the fan,

264
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 4: something that has a lot of wonderful stuff that we

265
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 4: just couldn't fit into the hour and a half.

266
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 5: I think in one hundred years when people will want

267
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 5: to learn about this crazy era, I think our movie

268
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,119
Speaker 5: will help people of the future be able to understand.

269
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 5: I mean, think about it. Thirty I don't know twenty

270
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 5: thirty forty percent of the people smoked marijuana or smoked marijuana,

271
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 5: and for one hundred years they were all silent. They

272
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 5: didn't bug the government. They try to be underground. When

273
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 5: you think about alcohol prohibition, what would have a very

274
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 5: few short period and the people just said no. And

275
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: you know alcohol is popular, but so is marijuana. And

276
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 5: yet the people, all the stoners, did not stand up

277
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 5: and try to change the law for one hundred years.

278
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 5: It's kind of crazy.

279
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: So is this available on the website or how can

280
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: people watch this?

281
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 4: So for now the best is to follow us, as

282
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 4: you said on at American pot Story on Instagram or

283
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: Facebook where you post updates. It's mostly doing what's called

284
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 4: the festival circuit. It's it's been in some the coolest

285
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: film festival Slam Dance Dance wearing the shirt h sure,

286
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: where we won the audience Award. And now we have

287
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: our new Jersey premiere at the Lighthouse International Film Festival,

289
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 5: Also one of the top independent film festival in the US.

290
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's really cool that we're going to be there,

291
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: and that's going to be on June tenth, three forty

Speaker 4: And then please, I hope you're going to be there

Speaker 4: at June twenty nine, our big LA premiere as part of.

Speaker 3: Yeah.

299
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: Later there will be a party at Roosevelt, but only

300
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: for people who have a ticket for your premiere. It's

301
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: also Dances with Films, which is very cool film. The

302
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 5: top independent film festival in LA right now. So we're

303
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 5: starting to build the mythology of this film. So we'll

304
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 5: travel to all the top independent film festivals in the US, the.

305
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: World, and the world, and then after we'll work hopefully

306
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 4: in partnership with you in some release where people can

307
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: buy the film online.

308
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 2: You'll figure out, of course. I mean I can't. I

309
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: can't see why Netflix wouldn't pick it up, or you know,

310
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: call it Amazon, whatever you want. Paramount should pick it up.

311
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they all should be fighting for it, right,

312
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: I mean, especially if it's winning these awards. I've heard

313
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: nothing but great things about it. I've not yet to

314
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: see it, but you know, the people that we all know,

315
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: the similar people that we've met, and everybody in Ali

316
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: who's working with us, that works with, you know, hand

317
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: in hand with Oaksterdam, has had nothing but great things

318
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: to say about this. And of course we love everybody

319
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: over that at Oaksterdam. So tell me a little bit

320
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: more about this to them. How does it start? Where

321
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: does it go? I mean you're not gonna be able

322
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: to give everything in detail, but I mean, what can

323
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: somebody expect when they see this? Am I gonna cry?

324
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: Am I gonna be like? Oh I'm mad? Like you know?

325
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: Is it sparking emotions?

326
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 5: It's a fun movie. It's a fun movie about activism.

327
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: It's about marijuana, but it's about any activist, and it's

328
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: about how a small group of activists can change, you know,

329
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 5: can make history. And many times, look when we watch

330
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: it the news, we get angry. It doesn't matter if

331
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 5: you're left or right. You feel I'm powerless. I have

332
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 5: no power. The corporations have the money. You know, Washington

333
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: is so corrupt and everybody there is about the money.

334
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 5: And our film shows, you know what a small group

335
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 5: of people they didn't have that much money, but they

336
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 5: had a lot of passion and they made history and

337
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: they rocked first America and then the world, you know,

338
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 5: in the whole world kind of listen. So I think

339
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: when people decide they want to change something and they

340
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: really want to change it, and they're willing to put

341
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 5: the time and the energy, they can rock the world.

342
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 5: And that's kind of the message. And our movie is

343
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 5: about marijuana, but it's true for anything.

344
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: How did you figure out to follow these people that

345
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: made these movements? Like how did that go? Like hmm,

346
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 2: Like that's such a dice roll, Like if you know,

347
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: you come in here and you go, oh, which one

348
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: of these guys is gonna do something great tonight. Let's

349
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: see Connor only has one eye because he scratches right now,

350
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: he can't see you know this guy, he's to be

351
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: at a bar, beach, barcelara. He's not going to be

352
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: doing anything. And then you look at Daniel, He's probably

353
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: gonna go to a restaurant tonight and go eat somewhere. Like,

354
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: how do you figure how did you guys figure out

355
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: these are the crew to follow?

356
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: That's a great question.

357
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 5: Look, I met them. I saw their passion also when

358
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 5: I went to Oaks to them and to Oakland, and

359
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 5: I was living in LA at the time. You know,

360
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 5: the dispensaries were not really legal or they were semi legal,

361
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 5: and they were kind of more you know something back

362
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 5: alley thing and city. And I came there and it

363
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 5: looked different. It looked like, you know, a little dog.

364
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 5: He Richardly wanted to create a new image from marijuana,

365
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 5: and he did it in the middle of the street.

366
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 5: And he created a whole district called the Oaksterdam District

367
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 5: where they were kind of trying to build a model

368
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 5: of how a regulated marijuana industry would look. And I

369
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 5: was just blown away. I was like, he was, you know,

370
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 5: near the police station and near the federal building. He

371
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 5: was creating all these stores. Just said look, this is

372
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 5: how it can be, you know, it was just testing,

373
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 5: you know, lainforcement and come and arrest me. But this

374
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 5: is how I think it should be in the future.

375
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 5: It's like probably the first time he went to an

376
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 5: Apple store and you saw, Wow, computers are cool, you know.

377
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 5: So I was like, wow, these people are like in

378
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: broad daylight, you know, attempting to change a lot just

379
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 5: by giving an example of how the future could look

380
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 5: like if it becomes legit.

381
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: And Dan were you there and had to come back

382
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,479
Speaker 2: and go Robbis, so I have a great idea and

383
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 2: she go, what the fuck are you smoking?

384
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:38,360
Speaker 3: Totally I'm like, what, I admit that. I first when

385
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 3: he said this, I said, who cares?

386
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 5: Why it is.

387
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 3: Important to legalize weed?

388
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: And then he had to start researching and throwing a

389
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 4: lot of facts at me and basically talking about how

390
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 4: the policy is hurting communities of color and how it's

391
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 4: feeding people into the prison industrial complex. And then I said, oh,

392
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: that is important because I said, well, everybody I know

393
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: can get high and there's no problem. And they didn't

394
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 4: realize a lot of people that I don't know end

395
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: up in prison for that. And I was like, what,

396
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 4: people are actually going to prison for a week.

397
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: That's impossible.

398
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: So you didn't know this. It's funny that, you know

399
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: what it's that is funny that I don't think a

400
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: lot of people still realize that. Yeah, a lot of

401
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 2: people have no clue of that, and especially a lot

402
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: of white folks. Let's just call it what it is, right,

403
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 2: A lot of white folks, as you're well, you know,

404
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: light skinned, have no fucking clue what really goes on

405
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: out there for us minorities that I've dealt with, the

406
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 2: oh you're smoking that white guy, O'Connor, go hide, go

407
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: play soccer. You guys come over here, salar you're smoking.

408
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 2: We and you're busted. Tell you're busted. But it's like,

409
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, it's real, and it's so real that, like

410
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: I've been talking to somebody just earlier today on another podcast.

411
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: We always hear the numbers, you know, of the minority

412
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 2: that gets busted more than the white folks, and does

413
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: does your document we touch on that as well.

414
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: It's like the amount of people that were arrested is

415
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 5: equal to that as if the government arrested Sorry, the

416
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 5: amount of people arrested for weeds is equivalent to the

417
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 5: government arresting people in the twelve smaller states in the US.

418
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 5: It so that if they took the twelve states of

419
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 5: the US arrested all the people there, that's the amount

420
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 5: of people arrested for weed. And people don't realize it

421
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 5: now in the country and in the US or in

422
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 5: the US alone. Now the thing is word from Israel,

423
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: weed is not really a crime. You know, they kind

424
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 5: of it's not legal, but it's not illegal. You know,

425
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: it's kind of in that grade zone, like you said before.

426
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 5: So for us, you know, as fun as suddenly we realized, wow,

427
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 5: this is people of color, people who have less money

428
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 5: to hire good lawyers. It's just it's it's a and

429
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 5: we touch about we touch on it because the NAACP,

430
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 5: we filmed them change you know, the California and DOAACP

431
00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 5: decided to support legalization before everybody else, and tens of

432
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: thousands of people called to Austa Alice Hoffman, who was

433
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 5: the head of the NAACP, because they felt, you know,

434
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 5: she's supporting the devil's weights, you know, and she showed

435
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 5: us bags and bags of letters.

436
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 2: It was mind blowing, really, So you guys caught that

437
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: when that happened too. Yeah, dude, this is crazy to

438
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: think which you guys were able to grab.

439
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

440
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because it's almost another time of a

441
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: dice rollers, Do we go to this meeting? Do we

442
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: go to that? Right?

443
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 5: It was crazy and there was just history being made

444
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 5: every day. There was you know, a lot of pastors

445
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 5: started deciding the changing their mind. A lot of people

446
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 5: were changing their mind in ten years. And it's amazing

447
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 5: how these ten years were like so epic and so historic,

448
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 5: and when we look at it one day, we will say, wow,

449
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 5: this was a natural craziness.

450
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: It's funny, you say, pastors, Dan, I've been wanting to

451
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: reach out to the church that my family and I

452
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 2: go to have the pastor because it's a huge church,

453
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 2: right and saddle back out and forest they have nationwide,

454
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: but it's a big, big campus. Rick Warren from the

455
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: h he has a book that was out or number

456
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,879
Speaker 2: one best seller book, The Purpose of Life is what

457
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 2: He was the previous head pastor. He's still the main

458
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 2: guy there, but there's a new head pastor there now,

459
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: younger gentlemen. And I actually would love to get Rick

460
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: and this pastor on this show to talk about, you know,

461
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: because it's a you know, fifty thousand population church. It's

462
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: a huge church, and you know, for leading that many people,

463
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's some weed smokers in the building. And

464
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And it's like, what is

465
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: the church's view on that? Because you're right, I think

466
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 2: it has changed, because I'm only imagining the Pope's changed

467
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 2: on gage, you know what I mean. I would hope

468
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: the Pope is using some of them, some selva with

469
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 2: some creams on himself. As old as he is, he

470
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: needs some of this good THC CBD creams on his body.

471
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 5: Right, and does nothing in the Bible or the New

472
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 5: Testament that says I mean when you look at prohibition,

473
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 5: you know there's stuff in the Bible against all cahl,

474
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: but there's nothing against weeed so and wid was used

475
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 5: back in the day. So they are whatever their opinion is.

476
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 5: It's not based on any scripture. It's just based on opinion.

477
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: And let me ask you this, just because you guys

478
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: are from there, I mean I always look at Israel

479
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 2: is what it is, the motherland, right, I mean, this

480
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: is where Jesus walked for God's sake, And how is

481
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: it viewed there? You're saying it's not illegal, but it's

482
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: not legal, and is it where is it talked about?

483
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: Is like normal as a kid? Like no, no, no?

484
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 2: Or is it oh your parents, your uncles, your family

485
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 2: all smoked weed, had some wine. I mean, how was that?

486
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: What was normal in Israel for you guys.

487
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 4: I just want to first mention that we filmed the

488
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 4: guy who is the reason why Israel is the forefront

489
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 4: of research, Professor Raphael Michulam. We filmed him, we interviewed

490
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 4: him for the film. It's again one of those things

491
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 4: that fell on the cutting room floor, but he recently

492
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 4: passed away, and interviewing him, he was so cool.

493
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 2: So that's going to be on the editor's cut and

494
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 2: gonna be on the website.

495
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: We have to watch something exactly exactly. So I just

496
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 3: want to mention that.

497
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 4: And I think maybe because he was there, it just

498
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 4: wasn't such a big deal growing up. It was definitely

499
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 4: not the weed of the devil. It was just something that, yeah,

500
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: it was obvious that some people do it. It's not

501
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 4: a big deal. And I think it's not such a

502
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: big deal that there's no obsession. You don't feel like

503
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: I have to try it because that's going to be

504
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 4: a rebellion gainst my parents because my parents did it

505
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: in the seventies.

506
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 2: Oh, your parents spoke to you too, Dan, your parents too.

507
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 5: My parents, I don't know, you don't know.

508
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: My parents are cooler.

509
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 4: My parents said that when I was three, they I

510
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 4: found a stash and I don't know if I inhaled

511
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: it took a.

512
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: Bite, but I had a great laugh for three hours.

513
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I was six when I first started smoking,

514
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 2: So yeah, it goes real young for me. So in

515
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: Israel it just kind of one of those things me

516
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: ask you this. Did you guys ever know anybody to

517
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: get arrested for it or get in trouble because of

518
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: cannabis growing up? No?

519
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 5: Not in it though, because it's not something that priests

520
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 5: care about.

521
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 2: Wow.

522
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 5: I stuff here on the books that maybe I've maybe

523
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 5: gone the books that nobody cares about this.

524
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, the cops are starting to get a

525
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: little less sum but I don't think it's like they

526
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 2: don't care. I mean, you know, you still can't just

527
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: walk around and smoke and there's a cop and hey,

528
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 2: what's up? You know what I mean, They're like, hey, man,

531
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: what's mean.

532
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: It's illegal in Amsterdam, but nobody's gonna I don't think

00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 2: and I want to get back to the pastors as

568
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: we were saying, because you said, Dan, you have a

569
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 2: story about pastors. Are they going to be on the

570
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 2: in the documentary as well?

571
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, Adan, the documentary, we have the California Council of Churches,

572
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 5: which is one of the biggest, you know, organization, faith

573
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 5: based organizations in California come out and support legalization.

574
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 2: It's one hundreds of who was the pastor you know

575
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: you remember the names, Rick Schlasser, Rick's ahead of it.

576
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 5: But you know it's basically when a lot of independent churches,

577
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: a lot of them, one hundreds of thousands of them,

578
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 5: they can unite and changed laws. And that was a

579
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: big moment in the movie as well. But we show

580
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 5: that this movie and a lot of different churches just

581
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 5: to see how you know, they invited us. It's not

582
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 5: like we initiated back in the day when they were

583
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: starting their own discussion. So there was a big church

584
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 5: here on the OC, a huge church. I forgot its name.

585
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: So the guy who books movies booked a screening. You know,

586
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 5: they have a movie night every week. And the pastor

587
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 5: came and talked to me and he said, this is

588
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 5: the Really, I'm not sure this is the right thing

589
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 5: for our church. You know, they'll see is a little

590
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: more conservative. And sually he saw the whole place packed up.

591
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 5: He never saw the church, I think that packed up.

592
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 5: And he came on stage and said, this is amazing.

593
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 5: I thought, this is a mistake to bring this movie here.

594
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 5: I was kind of angry at the guy who books movies.

595
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 5: But I see more people and I see on Christmas,

596
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 5: so I guess this is something people care about.

597
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: It not oh, man, cannabis opens the door. Yeah.

598
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: And then we showed it in another church in Seattle,

599
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: and again the pastor was talking to us. I said, look,

600
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 5: don't talk to me. Let's see what people say. It

601
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 5: might be contraver, virtual, people might get angry at me.

602
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 5: And at the end it was total quiet. And then

603
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 5: one person raised his hand and a woman raised her

604
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 5: hand and said, Pastor, we've been waiting ten years for

605
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 5: you to start talking about marijuana. I mean, I'm happy

606
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 5: he decided finally to raise this issue, but we have

607
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 5: a lot to say. And before she knew it, before anything, like,

608
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 5: everybody raised their hand and said, Pastor, you know, we

609
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 5: got to talk about it. And one guy said my

610
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: son was arrested, and one guy said my brother was arrested.

611
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 5: And the pastor said, wow, I was so afraid to

612
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 5: talk about it, but I see this is something you

613
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 5: all care about, so I guess this is just the

614
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 5: beginning of the discussion.

615
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: Pastor goes and I was arrested back in seventy two.

616
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 5: But I think, you know what, I think a lot

617
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: of pastors just hold on to a belief just because

618
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 5: they're afraid of what other people will think about them.

619
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 5: But I think as they realized that this is a

620
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 5: legit topic and that actually everybody in the community, you know,

621
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 5: supports changing, they will change, you know, it's just changed.

622
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and only that. You know. It's funny as

623
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: you say that about pastors. I remember when I started

624
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 2: going to this church in the Bay Area called Jubilee

625
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: Christian Center, and it was Pastor Dick Burnell, and I

626
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 2: just recently got sober at the time, and I will

627
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: never forget going to the church for the first time

628
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 2: and hearing him speak on the pulpit saying when I

629
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 2: first came to the Lord, I thought it was byod,

630
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: bring your own dope, and I went, what did he

631
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: just say on the pope? But this man just said dope,

632
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? And me and him hit

633
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 2: it off so well. We used to talk about how

634
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: he used to party and smoke weed and do all

635
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: kinds of stuff when he was younger, and he's never

636
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: hit from it. I would hope that that church, and

637
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: that's a big church. I think they're about eight to

638
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: ten thousand, maybe more by now, twelve fifteen thousand congregation

639
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 2: out there in San Jose. But Jubilee Christian Center, I

640
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: could get you in contact with them, because like I said,

641
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: that Pastor was out there matter of fact. Just because

642
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: you said that, now I got to reach out to

643
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: him and see if he'll come on the show to

644
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: talk about this, and maybe we see if we get

645
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: a screening for you guys.

646
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 5: Right, could I think it? I think it's a faith

647
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 5: based on organization that will help really change minds and

648
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 5: change souls. You know, in the minute they stop talking

649
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 5: about it and realizing, you know what, this is not

650
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 5: a blue topic. This is not dealing with the devil.

651
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 5: This is just one more thing people do in the

652
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 5: past time. You know, it's no different than I'll call

653
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 5: and other stuff. I think then the real change will happen.

654
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 4: You know.

655
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: Well even may go from we got this bread, we

656
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 2: got this wine, and we got this joint, you know

657
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: what I mean. It's like and we got this gummy bears.

658
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: Who knows where it goes to? It's like because you,

659
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: like you say, when you think about it, like when

660
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying that burning bush in

661
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: the Bible was a cannabis plant. You know, you hear

662
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: people making up these stories. God knows, I don't know

663
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: if that's the truth. And who knows, who knows, But

664
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: you know there's all kinds of things that people possibly

665
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 2: hallucinating and using LSD, using the mushrooms, using this, and

666
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: that's all natural. It's from the earth, right, And when

667
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 2: you think about it, when I get spiritual about it,

668
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: I go, God made this right. He's made a seed

669
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: that we can grow and then you can smoke it,

670
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: just like any other herb and medicine and plants that

671
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 2: we're using inside our bodies. And there's that whole aspect

672
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 2: in film and everything else that could be preached and

673
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 2: taught constantly.

674
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 5: Right totally. And the thing is, look, they found it

675
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 5: in graves five thousand years ago, ten thousand years so

676
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 5: people have used it. It's not a It didn't just

677
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 5: show up in the sixties. It's been around, you know.

678
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 2: That's what's funny about this. So you guys, I can't

679
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: wait for this to blow up. We're gonna have a

689
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: I got a good personal question for you guys. As

690
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: your guys are husband and wife and spent ten years

691
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 2: making this film, how many arguments were there on the

692
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: editing aspect of it of what's going to get in

693
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: and what's going to get out? And how many did

694
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 2: you win? How many did you win? Because it went

695
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 2: down to an hour and a half and I'm thinking

696
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: you guys had about fucking forty hours of footage at

697
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: least hundred and forty hours. Yeah, So I mean, how

698
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 2: did those compromises settle?

699
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 4: I always say it's who It's like a battle to

700
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 4: the end, whoever is the last person standing. But we have.

701
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 5: Always wins.

702
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: Is that what I could feelish wish?

703
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 4: Oh?

704
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 3: No, But we have an editor. So a lot of

705
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: times the editor.

706
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 2: Is, oh, he plays the middleman, Yes, he.

707
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 4: Marriage therapist, whatever's required, dancel, I really want this, and no,

708
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 4: we got to go with the other story.

709
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 5: Though, and use more of that, and it's like the

710
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 5: great Italian all them at least, all the very passionate,

711
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 5: all the people around that ocean, you know, very passionate.

712
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, but we bring a calm, cool editor who's

713
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 4: like the tiebreaker, and then a last of time, you

714
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: just accept that if it's two against one.

715
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: That helps. And then at the end epic.

716
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:17,160

Speaker 2: it and just having having to decide to make and

720
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: then all that. I actually do like the fact that

721
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: it's an hour and a half because it's more digestible,

722
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean, and I'm sure you're getting the story out
