But anyways, we had 70 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 1: a great time over there with Big As Big was 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: just at the football game to the day last night. 72 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: I've seen him at their big kick off over here 73 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles for the RAMS. He was sit in 74 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: front row, which was kind of dope. That showed him 75 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: on the big broadcast. So shout out to you, big Boy. 76 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: Always love you. I got a good story. I got 77 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: a good story for you. Blue. This is going green, 78 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: and just the title alone, it's gonna be a blood bath. 79 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: Epic marijuana over supply is flooding California. If you want 80 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: to get into the cannabis industry. In California, were more 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: than five billion dollars worth of legal adult use cannabis 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: is on pace to be sold this year, according to 83 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: tax figures and you want to do a quick don't 84 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: bother with selling adult use cannabis. Instead, you want to 85 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: grow it. Most cities in the state still don't allow 86 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: retail adult use sales. Many of those, though, that do, 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: cap the number of dispensaries allowed within city limits, and 88 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: almost everyone is running a retail storefront says that high 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: taxes and the abundance of cheap, illicit market weed is 90 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: killing them. It's not a good way to make money. 91 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: The quickest way to get into the cannabis business, then, 92 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: is to get a cultivation permit and start growing massive 93 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: amounts of cannabis. That's what big companies in the Salinas 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: Valley in Santa Barbara County did and what they've done, 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: according to interviews with industry experts, that grows entirely too 96 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: much of cannabis, and which is great if you think 97 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: about it, going what yep, just start growing it exactly. 98 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: The exact figures are not known, but according to one 99 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: rough estimate, California's legal cultivators grow more than three times 100 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: as much cannabis is sold in legal dispensaries. So we 101 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: know what that tells everybody, right, folks, If they're growing 102 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: three times the amount of what's in legal cannabis stores. 103 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of cannabis being sold in the black market, 104 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: way more than that's being sold in the legal market. 105 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: Whatever that exact figure is, the common belief is that 106 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: it's so much cannabis that the market is flooded, prices 107 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: are crashing, and legal growers in the red this year 108 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: may finally be forced out of business. It's gonna be 109 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: a blood bath, said one industry leader who works in 110 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: wholesale sales and distribution, speaking on conditions and anonymity in 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: order to speak freely. So these not they're not talking 112 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 1: out so much, but this is what they're saying, and 113 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: this is what some growers are saying. Exactly how much 114 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: cannabis has grown within the state of California is still 115 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: a state's secret, known only to state regulators and select 116 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: elected officials, but using available data you could hit at 117 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: some estimates. According to the most recent public estimate, published 118 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: in two thousand seventeen, the state's appetite for cannabis is 119 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: about two point three million pounds a year since two 120 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen. That's what they're saying, and this is not 121 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: really including the black market. Folks two point three million pounds. 122 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: That includes medical and adult use consumption. Right, So they're 123 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: just saying this is what they figured out in two 124 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: thousand seventeen. It's two thousand twenty one right now, you know. 125 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: So that's grown. That's roughly consistent with the amount of 126 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: cannabis on which the State Department and Tax and Free 127 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: Administrations reported collecting cultivation taxes between July July according to 128 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: the most recent data available. So all that stuff is there, 129 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: but in mid one, the state maybe producing up to 130 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: three times as much as the can abus as the 131 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: state can consume, according to some new data that's coming 132 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: out of Humboldt County Growers Alliance. So obviously you've heard 133 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: us talk about the Humblet County. You guys know that's 134 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: where it's at. But that estimates comes from Italian up 135 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the total acreage and permitted growers registered with the State 136 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Department of Cannabis Control. When the total acreage of indoor grows, 137 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: outdoor grows, and mixed use grows are tallied up, the 138 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: permitted and legal cultivation capacity in the state tops six 139 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: million pounds. All that being said, it is crazy to 140 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: think that that comes up to six million pounds, and 141 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: as you know, blue in these areas of Humboldt, there's 142 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: tons of spots that you can go deep into these 143 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: woods where they used to be growing weed way back 144 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: in the days that weren't the legal spots. They're still 145 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: doing it, and still the legal spots are just off 146 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: the road now and they're they're nice, big grows out there, 147 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: and they're beautiful, and they're all over here. You're Scott 148 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: Sam in Santa and you got a bunch out, and 149 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: there's a bunch all over California. But my point is 150 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: to this story, and I don't know if you've seen this, 151 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: they're estimating the you know crash because of so much 152 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: being produced out here. That's gonna be a blood bath, 153 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: is what the title was of the you know story. 154 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: Have you personally seen not that you're selling any weed anywhere, 155 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: but you've got a lot of friends at me. Have 156 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: you seen the prices dropped down tremendously. I know, it's 157 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: like October's right around the Toctober. I'm assuming and guessing 158 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: in October we're gonna see this. So look every year, Okay, 159 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: there's two two things that happened. There's a lot of 160 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: wheat smoke and a lot of wheat grown. But October 161 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: it is Croctober, and generally it's it's super flooded, right 162 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: because the the market starts to crash every every single year, 163 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: every year, every year since cannabis has been in the game. 164 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: And that's because the farmers have this outdoor crops, the 165 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: greenhouses are all coming down and there's just so much 166 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: an abundance. So the price of cannabis goes drops. Now 167 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: the while that's happening, there's a huge you know, October 168 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: goes through, November goes through right around December, the whole 169 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: industry stops, like I'd say the tenth of the fifteenth, 170 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: right around there, the whole industry stops from the fifteenth 171 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: until after New Year's because in the illicit market, the 172 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: legacy market, the illegal market, however you want to paint 173 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: that picture, anybody who was selling, you know, asking you 174 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: for cannabis from the fifteenth to like the fifth of 175 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,119 Speaker 1: January usually didn't pay you back until the fifth of January, 176 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: if ever, because they're all buying themselves family gifts and 177 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: all this other stuff. So the golden ticket was like yo, 178 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: we hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, hustle, and then the first week, 179 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: maybe in December, second week, you're like, you're stopping. I 180 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: would always stop. And I learned that after five years 181 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,679 Speaker 1: in a row, going what every every damn you ever 182 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: New Year's I'm starting off searching for money because and 183 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: and and then you know you're good cats that are 184 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: really good operators that they still disappear on you that 185 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: whole time. But then it's like, yeah, sorry, back, I'm 186 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: back in the mix here. Boom boom. They they copy it, 187 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: re up it somehow. But a lot of them just 188 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: disappear off the map after that because they go, oh yeah, 189 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: let me get ten pounds, and then they go by 190 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: themselves Christmas, they have this amazing Christmas for their family, 191 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: and then they disappear. So in in the legal market, though, 192 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, looking at this and saying, listen, you know 193 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: all these outdoor farms are gonna have massive amounts of farming. 194 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: They're gonna come really strong, and then all of a sudden, 195 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna come in through this whole process where you know, 196 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: you've got new operators all over the country. Now that 197 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: which is gonna be a weird change. Now everybody always 198 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: still wants klie but or counting from Cali, however you 199 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: want to say it, that's always going to be a thing. 200 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: But the truth is is that are they gonna sell it? 201 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: You know, they need to sell now what they're expecting 202 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: by looking I mean, this is looking at all this 203 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: data that they're having, they're saying that we should be 204 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: putting together six million pounds of cannabis. That's a shipload. 205 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: That's a lot much for the legal market. Only let 206 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: hold on blue. What I'm saying this, This is what 207 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: they're saying for the legal market, right, and that they're 208 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: saying the listit market is three times more than that. Yeah, 209 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: but you you have to imagine this. You're pounds, think yeah, 210 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: but think about it like this, think about it like 211 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, that's like a one good quarter. But now 212 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: of the of the year, you know, because what's what's 213 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: happening is is that the illicit market is in still 214 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: in full swing. A lot of people don't realize that 215 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: that that cannabis is in full swing in the illegal market. 216 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: How do we know? Because it's happening, and because just 217 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: every single person that you know by his cannabis doesn't 218 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: go to a dispensary. And if they do go to 219 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: a dispensary, most of those dispensaries are still illegal. So 220 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: when is the VCC the United States? The you know, 221 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: California is the city's are going to crack down on 222 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: these guys that are straight on front street. They're right there, 223 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: mostly in California. That is not across the board. I mean, 224 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: you're looking at Oklahoma and other states. Oklahoma wide open. 225 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: I mean they're just hoping. They're letting them open up 226 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 1: like wildfire. So my point is, they don't even have 227 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: a lot of illegal ones there. When we were in Colorado, 228 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 1: they said they put the shut down on Colorado ones 229 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: are They're still slanging on the side. Don't get twisted, 230 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: but I'm just saying the illegal storefronts aren't as popular 231 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: as they are in California. Across the country. Look at 232 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: when we come back, I want to tell you about 233 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: a few things that I know about like Colorado and 234 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: these other states. It's Cannabis Talking on. When we're right 235 00:12:49,120 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: back after this break, Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one 236 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: on one of the world's number one source for everything cannabis. Listen, 237 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: I mean, right before break Joe. I mean we were 238 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: talking about you know, different states and stuff, right and 239 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: and there's some interesting stories and things that are happening 240 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: nationally and internationally. So when Colorado, you know, had this 241 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: big boom, they you know, they beat California to the 242 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: punch about like you know, really going licensing legally and 243 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 1: everything else, Colorado beat it, which was surprising to me 244 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: because I thought for sure it was gonna be you know, Callie. 245 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: But we you know, we actually kind of had some insight, 246 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: and we had some people that were you know, recruiting 247 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: us because we're in the mix. And I literally had 248 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: people you know, flying me to Colorado, taking me around, 249 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: showing me the dance and telling me, hey, we want 250 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: to buy this facility. What do you think about that facility? 251 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: And you know, we we my brother and I went 252 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: out there and we we we went around and did 253 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: our did our dance and looked at some properties and 254 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: actually had an opportunity to move there and didn't move 255 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: there because I don't want to leave California right Tartedly, 256 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: it's really really harden. You go out of town, you 257 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: visited the places, you come back home, you're like, man, 258 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: it's still beautiful. Here. The weather is still great. I'm 259 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: not sticky. Yeah, you when you got a family and 260 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: you know and and you care and everything else, it's 261 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: it's it's it's difficult. And when you're young and you're 262 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: just by yourself, you still don't want to leave if 263 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: you you know, you've got family and friends here. But 264 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: but i'll tell you what So, So while that was happening, though, 265 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: you know, there was an abundance of cannabis inside of Colorado. 266 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: So what happened is these licensed operators. And this is 267 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, my opinion, right, because I couldn't prove it, 268 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: but I could tell you that I you know, yeah, 269 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: my opinion is pretty strong and I and I'm pretty 270 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: right about it. Is that they were bringing it into 271 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: other states, New Mexico, bringing it into wherever they could 272 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: take it from Colorado, which is illegal. And the reason 273 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: they were doing that is because the who was doing 274 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: that the operators, the licensed operators. So the licensed operators. 275 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: So imagine this, Joe, imagine if you just invested you know, 276 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: seventeen million dollars into you uh grow, or let's just 277 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: say five million dollars. You just didn't invested five million 278 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: dollars into a grow. You got your first harvest, and 279 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: you've got three million dollars worth of cannabis out of it, 280 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: let's just say one big, huge world or a million dollars. 281 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 1: But you didn't have the infrastructure to sell it, meaning 282 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: that there wasn't enough buyers going to stores to buy 283 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: your million dollars with a weed. And if it wasn't, 284 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: you didn't have it all set up to get it. 285 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: So where does it go now? The question is are 286 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: you gonna burn it? Because you know you gotta get 287 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: rid of it, Like the bureaus of the you know, 288 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: the cannabis burealls are telling you, hey, if you can't 289 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: sell it this way, you've got to get rid of it. 290 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: Do you burn it? Do you turn it in and 291 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: say no? Hell no? You go back to what you 292 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: know and then you say, well, hey, we destroyed it 293 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: and then we boom back door it and moved it. 294 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: And who's telling who's known, who's what. That's the reality 295 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: of what's happening in cannabis. You know, that's going everywhere, everywhere, everywhere, 296 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 1: and and it had to happen, and it's gonna happen 297 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: until it into until it's completely federally illegal, and it's 298 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: just in every single store, and there's only a few 299 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 1: people that know how to deliver it and get it 300 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: into every single story like that. There's not a lot 301 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: of people that know how to distribute like that. And 302 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: and big distribution that's big, big, big, big, big, bigger 303 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: talking and packaging and everything else. And yeah, you're talking 304 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: Philip Morris, right, you're talking about you, you're talking about tobacco. Right, 305 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: you're talking about you know, um Kirkland's right. How do 306 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: they get it into branches and things all over the country, 307 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: big ones too, not little ones. Yeah, yeah, Walgreens of Walmart's, 308 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: you know, things of that nature, right, because they have 309 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: the distribution change. They have the trucks to get to 310 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: every state in every country, Like think about it like 311 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: a distribution center to move it there. Then let those 312 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: other trucks come and keep moving it from others and 313 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: understand the logistics behind it. Right. So you've got the 314 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: guy that has five million dollars, that put five million dollars, 315 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 1: and maybe that guy was worth twenty because he spent 316 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: of his wealth on his deal in order for him 317 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: to set that extra that extra infrastructure to understand how 318 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: all that infrastructure works, and top of being, you know, 319 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: an operator with the five million dollars in his basket, 320 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 1: you're now looking at somebody that has to dump their 321 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: whole life savings into it. And it's not gonna happen. 322 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: So what what My point to this is that you 323 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: know a lot of these you know, people forget that 324 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: this is R and D stages were in research and 325 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: development and I and I always want to go back 326 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 1: to that. And so before FEDS decided to say, hey 327 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: let's make this legal, let's see all these idiot operators 328 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: do whatever they can. Let's watch them mess up, Let's 329 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: watch them do more criminal activity. Let's watch them do 330 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: the the only the right thing. And then and then 331 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: let's come out and say, hey, this one works, that 332 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: one works, will take this one, will take that one. 333 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: Let's roll them all up and steam through through them all. 334 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: That's the that's the game. I mean, I've been watching 335 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: this happen the whole entire time. And and to be 336 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: honest with you, you know, you have all these states 337 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: that are gonna have massive amounts of acanabis, but they're 338 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: they're they're infrastructure is not set up to sell it yet. 339 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: And either California's California's make it three times the amount 340 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: of legal cannabis. Right now, you gotta look at everything 341 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: you're saying and going, where is it all gonna go? 342 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: The black market is gonna be popping in October, of 343 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: course it is. And it's so stuck up if you've 344 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: got a dealer, because you should be able to get 345 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: it hell a cheap even and even if you you 346 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: get it through a licensed facility right there, which that's 347 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: what we recommend, by the way, don't get it wrong, 348 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: we're not We're not listen.

And it's funny 362 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: blue because check out this next door that's also going green, 363 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: that's contained. They're saying it's contaminated. Weed is flooding Oklahoma's 364 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: market right now, and check this story out. There was 365 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: a big problem. The owner of processing was seeing lab 366 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: results on over of the cannabis he bought and submitted 367 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: for testing had failed. Those failed batches came from cannabis 368 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: growers who supposedly tested the cannabis themselves after their harvests. 369 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: This is what they're saying. They were supposed to be 370 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: up to standard outline in Oklahoma state laws and shouldn't 371 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: have had evaluated levels of pesticides, heavy metals, are other 372 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: dangerous chemicals, but they often did. There are over two 373 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: thousand medical marijuana dispensaries around Oklahoma, and this is one 374 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: cannabis market that is said to be booming despite only 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: having a medical medicinal market. You hear that, you guys, 376 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: is over two thousand medical marijuana dispensaries around Oklahoma. Let 377 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: me let me say, I think they're gonna be getting 378 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: some of this California weed and the whole let me 379 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: keep reading some of the story. Unfortunately low for some 380 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: of the cannabis making up out there, it's it's way 381 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: into the market. Recently, there have been some issues spotted 382 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: within the cannabis supply. There is some some contaminated weed 383 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: that has been allegedly found in the Oklahoma medical cannabis market. 384 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: But with some industry experts finding a high number of 385 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: samples coming back with bad results, they are allegedly seen 386 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: elevated levels again of pesticides and heavy metals and dangerous 387 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: chemicals on the camp on the samples. I find that 388 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: to be something that in my opinion, we need a 389 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: universal fifty state if not fucking universe testing, which I'm 390 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: a big fan of the I seen all that stuff too, 391 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: and I'm a fan off. You want to grow your own, 392 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: it's by somebody, like somebody's selling me some weed, and 393 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: you want to do it, do it. But for the 394 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: legal for the medical, your Oklahoma, your California, your Colorado, 395 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 1: we all should have the same rules. As we've gone 396 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: to these different labs, beautiful labs, great things, but then 397 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: you'll hear some ship like, well, this lab will put 398 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: up the numbers. I And my point is, I hate 399 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: that that's a that's an item that we see out there, right, 400 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: But it's an item even even in the pharmaceutical world. Right. 401 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: I don't know that for sure, but I would imagine 402 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 1: it isn't I'm not saying no, I just don't know. 403 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: But I would have roll the dice go in anything 404 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: they can and will happen, right, I would think there's 405 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: those labs that do that, although in the pharmaceutical world, 406 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: I think it maybe a little money creates tighter because 407 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: it's f d A and they've got to do Yeah. 408 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: But my point is if Oklahoma, but Chris, I don't 409 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: think it. I hope it is what I'm saying. I'm 410 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: hoping that because then you're being naive though by saying 411 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: that yeah, all of them, No, no, not all impossible. 412 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that it's very limited, like it's limited now, 413 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: and it's not limited though. That's the thing. So so 414 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: when I go back into this, and I'm not shipping 415 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: on the operators that are doing it correctly or incorrectly, 416 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: or hyping that they're doing it correctly, but the facts 417 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: are the facts is that opportunity comes into play. People 418 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: start making moves and if you had, you know, a lab, 419 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: let's call it X lab, say hey, man, I could 420 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: get you a better, higher quality cannabis results if you 421 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: just use my services, because my testing is better than theirs. 422 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: And they go, really, let me, let me try to 423 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 1: test the same exact cannabis and then we take it 424 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: to the same guy. We take it to X lab. 425 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: You're taken to Z Lab, and guess what. X lab 426 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: decides to give you the true results. Let's just say 427 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: they give you their best true results all across the board. 428 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 1: But Z decides to give you a higher THHC level, 429 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: a better quality, better this cannabis and and the verification 430 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: behind it. Are you gonna use next time you use it? Are? 431 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: And they don't even have to tell you anything. They 432 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 1: just go, hey, dude, those guys must have not been 433 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: using the state of the art equipment like us. There's 434 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: still for profit businesses, right and sorry, sorry, I mean, 435 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just saying this condamnitated stuff happened before 436 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: in Colorado and Oregon, and we've seen it happen and 437 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: as we're you know, going on a side note of 438 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 1: these type of places. I'm just saying we need to 439 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: have trusted and it also needs to bleed into CBD. 440 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: We need to be able to test to all this 441 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: good CBD that's out there, because not all brands are 442 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: great brands and all great CBD. There's some people cutting corners. 443 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: We've seen it happen with the bait pins and then 444 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,959 Speaker 1: putting oils and different oils in there. And we've just 445 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: see these little stepping on routines from the old dope game, 446 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: you know, analogy that it's still even working on when 447 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: they're growing it stepping on. What can we do? Okay, 448 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: let's just that these pesticides, let this girl, let that grow, 449 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: grow your ship, right, follow the rules for putting out 450 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: good legal cannabis that's not gonna hurt anybody, because I mean, 451 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: the other flip side is this, is it really gonna 452 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: harm anybody if it has these pesticides in them and 453 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: these heavy metals, possibly if they smoke enough. I mean, 454 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that answer. Either I'm not a doctor 455 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: or a scientist. I just know I'm sure that we 456 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: smoked growing up a lot of that cannabis that had 457 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: possibly a lot of those pesticides, dude. I mean listen, 458 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: there in our food they blow it over in it. 459 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: So it has to be like a certain legal amount 460 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: like the FDA. That's my point is we need to 461 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: have some type of ruling that goes across the board 462 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: like there is. But the again, no matter what, these 463 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: test labs are gonna well there, the test labs are 464 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: in on it. Right. So everybody again, if listen, what 465 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: happens when you have you know, uh, thirty million dollar harvest. Okay, 466 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: thirty million dollars on the line. This is break make 467 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 1: or break you. And they say you can pay off 468 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 1: somebody with a couple of mills, your your ship all 469 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: tested dirty, you gotta destroy it all. And you go, 470 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,360 Speaker 1: what what do you do? You get a second opinion 471 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: and you pay for that opinion. Hey goes through. And 472 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: that happens in our court systems, in our in our 473 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: lives leaves and and you know, I'm not you never 474 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,199 Speaker 1: pay to have a car passed a small before, you 475 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: know what, I'm fortunate enough and boost you enough that 476 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I've never had thank God. Well you're not from the 477 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: hood though, from ha ha, you know, it's definitely from 478 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: the hood.

I feel like a lot of a lot 512 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: of people don't, you know, really get it that. You know, 513 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: bud tenders are the first line and it's talking about 514 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: that cannabis and understanding when it comes in, having that 515 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: training and understanding what you're selling these people.

Now I think they're dominant, like 527 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: Indica dominant, Sativa dominant um unless you you know, because 528 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: even the guys that are like, you know, I've got 529 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: the original you know, skunk right, and then you say 530 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,679 Speaker 1: that you just take me back, because there was nothing 531 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: like smelling a skunk and going, oh what is that? 532 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Oh that sounds like a killer skunk. But just using 533 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: that term skunk bud was one of the best terms ever. 534 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: Well and again sticks ti sticks, but even tie sticks though, 535 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: never got me like some skunk bud. And not only that, 536 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, like when you just would come into a 537 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: room and you had a bag and it made the 538 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: rooms fell like there was a skunk in there. That's 539 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: when you knew you had some of the most potent 540 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: weed ever. And more than likely it was from northern California. 541 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bring you a tie stick tomorrow because I 542 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: actually had somebody to come and drop me off a 543 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: couple hundred tie sticks over the weekend, and a couple 544 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,959 Speaker 1: hundred of them.

It's like almost 551 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: like sown on this little stick. It's like a cedar stick. 552 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: And I guess they cured in the cedar barrel for 553 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: twenty five days or whatever. Smoked that you smoked the 554 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: cedar stick. You don't smoke the stick. You kind of 555 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: like break a little pieces off the stick and then 556 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: you put it as like a top or like you 557 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: would keep or or like hash.
