Speaker 1: Did I say that right, Cochran? Yeah, you got it right, Cochrane? Okay?

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: Brian Cochrane, current CEO and president of Buddies initially he

45
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: came into the cannabis industry in two thousand and six

46
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: after this, dude, are you ready for this, folks? Because

47
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: I was ready to hit him up for a gig.

48
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Was the GM at Costco for quite some time before that.

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: And I because I say that I loved Costco and

50
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: being a general manager of that, I mean, there's nothing Kirkland.

51
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: I almost want to talk to you about Costco more

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: than fucking Buddies, to be honest with him, Like, dude,

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: so really the Kirkran how much Kirklands at a Kirkland

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: sweater you got on right now? Kirkland pants, Like everything

55
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: about that place I love. And And as I mentioned that,

56
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: you were the GM as Costco, and I say that

57
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 1: to people listening, you know, he worked hard for many

58
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: years to get the GM job there and at a

59
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: big company like that, So it's I want to recognize

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: that as like, this is not a dude that just

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, made his money doing whatever and then only

62
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: to wake up one day realizing how much he hated

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: his job and wanted to do something better for himself.

64
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: And since then, Brian has made a name for himself

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: and been a key part of several successful cannabis companies

66
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: in California. So we're gonna get to his story in

67
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: two minutes. Then we also have who's repping North Carolina

68
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: in the building, folks, Big old Nick capron Key, accounts

69
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: manager of Buddies who has been with them since the

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: inception and help and I can't believe it's the inception.

71
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear how this relationship started and

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: helped take Buddies California brand from zero accounts and sales

73
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: to being one of the top brands in the States.

74
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: And Nick has been on his grind by growing current

75
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: retail partnerships, actively establishing new business relationships, and updating packaging

76
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: as well as the hardware to bring Buddies to the

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: new level of dominating like they do out here. Because

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: if you ain't seen Buddies, you ain't been into a dispensary.

79
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Their combined journey and evolution into the cannabis space has

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: ultimately brought them both to the same company, where they

81
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: focus on building and establishing their brand to withstand the

82
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,280

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,279

89
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, you guys you get them from the inception?

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just so curious. Brian, you quit this

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: gig as a GM, you started doing some stuff. How

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: did you two meet? So, I just want to clarify.

93
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: Inception of California, Oh no, exception of Buddy's actually started

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: in Oregon and Washington and then came into California and

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you started with them as they started in California, they

96
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: came into California. That's when I got brought on as

97
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: a sales rep. Well, then that then that you clarified

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: that who sells more California or organ So um, currently,

99
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: i'd say Oregan, right, yeah, wow, you better step your

100
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: fucking game up. But hey, at least this is a

101
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: lot bigger area though, yes, I mean you have a

102
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: bigger territory, so it's you know you, it's it's not like, oh,

103
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Oregan is a little smaller complex where they can sell

104
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: a lot more in a dense area where you're out here.

105
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: So you you guys. Then Okay, So I didn't know

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: the brand was already popping in organ Yeah, so we've

107
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: been the number one brand in Oregon. Bdsa's got us

108
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: the number one brand for three years in a row.

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Get a little tight to that first. Yeah, bdsa's got

110
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: Buddies brand in Oregan the number one brand three years

111
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: in a row. So they were they were always already

112
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: popping off in Oregon. When they came and I met Nick,

113
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: Buddies came in and they bought my company. We were

114
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: we were original company in the in the prerec market.

115
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: We were Tetra Labs. So they came in and bought us,

116
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: and we flipped flipped the gold and went to the

117
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 1: green box. And that's how I met Nick. And Nick's

118
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: been our dominant salesperson in the entire company now for

119
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: going on three years. That's yeah. And not only that,

120
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I feel like we've seen Nick at every event that

121
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: we go to, and he's always repping, and it's like

122
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I feel like he's I thought you were the owner

123
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: at one point, but he's you know what I mean,

124
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: And he comes here and he's putting up this and that.

125
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Let's get to know a little bit about you, guys, Brian.

126
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I know Nick, you're from North Carolina, which is awesome.

127
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: I know you're getting excited as March Madness is coming,

128
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: and you know you're watching your team growing exactly. It's

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: like one of those things. But Brian, how did you

130
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: start this company? I mean, having a GM job at Costco.

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: It's a good gig, you know. It's I started on

132
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: my eighteen birthday and I quit twenty years in, almost

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: on my birthday. And I woke up one day I

134
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: was told I was going to move again. I didn't

135
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: want to move, and I've done pretty well for myself,

136
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: had some money put away and put in my two

137
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: weeks notice and moved back to California. I was in

138
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Texas and everybody look at you like what your family were?

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: You married? I was married. I'd had two little two

140
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: little girls, and made some really bad state mistakes with

141
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: my retirement went broken about a year and a half.

142
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: I jumped into the mortgage market in seven o eight,

143
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that story. Oh, I lost four homes

144
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: that I lost a whole bunch of them, and had

145
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: two little miles to feed and and a wife that

146
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: was expensive and got in the cannus industry. So I

147
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: kind of got into a different story than a lot

148
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: of people. In mind was more desperation. I was looking

149
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: for a quick way to take care of my family,

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: and I knew I didn't want to go back to Costco,

151
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: a great place to work, good, good education for me,

152
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: but I wanted to do something else. And it led

153
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: me to some family and some friends that were growing

154
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: and started growing. And that's kind of sort of Texas.

155
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: She moved to Oregon or California, California. So the chase,

156
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: the green rush. No, I'm from northern California, Okay, uh

157
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Santa Rosa area, North Bay, Okay. From Okay, Okay. So

158
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: so Costco had taken me to Taiwan, they had taken

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: me to Texas, taken me all over and I was

160
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: just coming back home. I came back to northern California

161
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: and and that was oh six oh seven, and that's

162
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: when it was really starting to be big and the

163
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: pre rec market was doing really well, and uh saved

164
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: my family. That's how I supporting my family for a while,

165
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: will tell today. And then you started off just growing

166
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: and selling or how did you do the company? I mean,

167
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: everybody has that black market story. You don't just you know,

168
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: come in and allegedly had. So my store is a

169
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: little different. And I didn't have any money. So I

170
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: was a guy. I was a guy getting it from

171
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: A to B and realized, I mean I came up

172
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: pretty quick, but I realized that was the guy that

173
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: gets time. And so we saved it and bought a

174
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: farm and bought another firm and had the opportunity to

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: work with some of my best friends and and and

176
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: we just worked hard every day. And it was again,

177
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: it was different journey than some people took, but it

178
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: was it was a good journey for me. But we saw,

179
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, what we saw in the pre rec market

180
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: is what we're seeing now is is we screwed up

181
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: our own market because everybody just kept growing more and

182
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: my I'd gone through divorce. I met this U, my

183
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: now now wife who just got married a couple of

184
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Thank you. UM. And she really changed. She changed,

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you crazy story. She changed my whole

186
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: thought on cannabis. Um. This was just for me. I'm

187
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: not a huge smoker, been around it, enjoy it, but

188
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: it's just don't do it all the time. And she

189
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: brought this whole different thought process to me. She's like,

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: you got to get into Concentrate. She was making this

191
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: product in an ice cream bowl and giving just giving

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: it away. I'm giving it to people that needed it,

193
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: and I'm like, fuck that, you know, coming from Costco.

194
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: We got packaging, We put it in a bottle, and

195
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: she printed flyers for our first High Times event that

196
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: said we won it before we even got there. You know,

197
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: she's just she's she's the ultimate person that that leaves

198
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: in in the lab attraction. She just said, hey, we

199
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: can do this, and it changed kind of changed my

200
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: focus from being a cultivator. Got us into Concentrates, got

201
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: us into product launches, and we started started our own company.

202
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: We're doing great. And then the FEDS came and visited

203
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: us for breakfast one morning and it didn't said they

204
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: didn't really appreciate how we were making our income. So

205
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: it kind of changed us, and that's how we ended

206
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: up with Tetra Labs. We we did our deal, or

207
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: I did my deal, and then I didn't want to

208
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: put my name out there with a brand again, so

209
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: we started just creating oil for other brands, and Tetra

210
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Labs was one of the brands. We made oil four

211
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: and they invite us to come in and partner with them,

212
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: and we took over most of the operations from them.

213
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: They were the first company to put dissolate in a cartridge,

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 1: or we believe we were. They were first company to

215
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: encapsulate and make a jail cup, and we're still running

216
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: that same piece of equipment, that same machine from I

217
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: think oh nine when they started, So that that's kind

218
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: of how I evolved. And then we were just we

219
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: were a small company. It was me and my girl

220
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: and one of my best friends, and we just didn't

221
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: get enough money put away when rec came, so we

222
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: were looking for we were looking just like everybody else.

223
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: We had our hand out looking for investors and we

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: never found one, but we found buddies and our Buddies

225
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: found us in the story how they found us, they

226
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: came to our facility and they toured our facility and

227
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: we just think everyone. We give him some products, and

228
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: we gave him fire and ice and through it in

229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: the back of his car. Forgot about it. And about

230
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: three months later his back was hurting the owner and

231
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: he goes, I got that, I'm gonna go give it

232
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: a go. And his pain was gone in thirty minutes

233
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: and he calls us back and he's like, hey, we

234
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: want to talk to you guys again, and that that

235
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: started the conversation where where we end up coming in

236
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: under Buddies in California and helping them get their flag

237
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: planeted down here. Nice. You never thought about going back

238
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: to Costcos inn Huh. You know this industry is crazy

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: right now, so it's always in the back of your mind.

240
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna have to get a real job. But

241
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: it's funny because Joe really loves Costco. I feel like

242
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: he works there something. You know. It's a great company,

243
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: and it really was. You know, it's that part time

244
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: job I started when I'm going to college and just

245
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: never left. You know. It was a great job, good people,

246
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: very well run. And that's where I struggled. When I

247
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: came and went into the mortgage world. Costco is really

248
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: black and white. You always do the right thing, and

249
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: then you get out into the real world, there's a

250
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: whole lot of gray. And I wasn't expected it, and

251
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: the mortgage market was ruthless. And just like you said,

252
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I lost a bunch of houses and I lost a

253
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: bunch of money because you weren't ready for that. Lost

254
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: a wife. It sounds like two lost a wife. Yeah,

255
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: kept the kids, so, but I lost a wife and

256
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 1: it was it was a pretty tumult just time. It's

257
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: just crazy too, because like you said, I could see that,

258
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: but Costco it's like, no, this is how we do it.

259
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: That's the way it's done. I mean, I've been taking

260
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: stuff back to Costco, no prob They're just always here,

261
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: you go, here, we go, let's go now. Finally, I mean, okay,

262
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: they did some better stuff on electronics in the last

263
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: ten to twenty years, but like it was just crazy.

264
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: How great that company isn't for you to go out,

265
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: like you said, into the real world, Yeah, it wasn't.

266
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: That wasn't whoa and be a general manager of something

267
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: like no, guys, we should always do this way. I

268
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: could only imagine your mentality because you've worked your way

269
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,839
Speaker 1: up to a general manager at a place where it's yes, no,

270
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: it's just simple and this is the price is and

271
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: this is this. Yeah, it's gotta be weird. It was

272
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: definitely weird. I just wasn't ready for it, and I

273
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: think that's why I kind of I got taken advantage

274
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: of a little bit in the mortgage market with some

275
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: partners and made some bad decisions. But you know it's

276
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: I bounced back. I'm here today. I'm doing okay, and

277
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: my kids are healthy and every everything's fine. And a

278
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of that that journey from there to here has

279
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: really been cannabis. It's it's been part of my personal evolution.

280
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Tell to one last story and and and I'll share,

281
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: and it's about this product. And I keep referencing my girl.

282
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: Her name is Dianna. So the probably he's talking a

283
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: little quick though, it is the fire and nice, the

284
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: one that's oh, the one that I have on my

285
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: desk that they gave me for my ankle that I

286
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: had ankle Starger going all yeah, I'm loving it. So

287
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: we decided with our first company. We're doing the High

288
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: Time's Cup and we're there and I'm in it. I mean, guys,

289
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm just in it strictly for the money at this time.

290
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: And I thought, all the you know, the everybody's got

291
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: a doctor's script, and I think it's a bunch of bs.

292
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, I walk in. There's nothing wrong with me

293
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: get a script to do one hundred plants or nine

294
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: and nine plants. It was just a scam. So I

295
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't really believe there was any medical benefit. And we're

296
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: setting in our booth in the first day and all

297
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: day long, a lot of older women and they've got

298
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: their due rags on because they've lost their hair, and

299
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: they're coming up and they're and they're hugging my girl

300
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: and they're telling her thank you, and they're telling her

301
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: how this product has helped them, or they're or they're

302
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: picking up another product off her table and talking about, hey,

303
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I started using your product during my chemo and I've

304
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: gained two pounds and it or it's helping me sleep,

305
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: or my nag is going away. So in that three

306
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: day cannabis event, my whole mindset about cannabis changed. It

307
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: went from just this is how I'm gonna pay my bill.

308
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: This is maybe maybe this would be my chance of

309
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: getting heaven. Maybe maybe maybe I'm doing something right for

310
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: the world and bringing something back earning those wings. It's

311
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: so funny how you look at cannabis differently. That's a

312
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: great that's such a great story too. And I appreciate

313
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the vulnerability and honesty from you, right, because I love

314
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: hearing these stories of people who run companies like this

315
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: and your your level of like, man, I was in

316
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: this to make money and then seeing what it does.

317
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: It's very similar to blue story. Blue was doing exactly

318
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: that with cannabis. His dad taught him how to sell cannabis.

319
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't until he met somebody with AIDS and then

320
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: he was he were out of money, and he gave

321
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: him an ounce and then he followed him to an

322
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: aide clinic and he's like, shit, I need to start

323
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: giving this story. He gave weed to every patient at

324
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: that clinic that he followed the dude too. And you know,

325
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: when I hear that story, you're not alone. It is

326
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: my point, right, Like Blue, he's not here today, but

327
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: his story is very similar to It was a cash

328
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: grab for him. He sold his dad taught him how

329
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: to sell weed. His dad might have been doing it

330
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: for the supplement of income. He's a union worker and

331
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: this and that, but you know, help people. But once

332
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: Blue seene, how really true this plant does? And even

333
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: for myself, I had two hip surgeries. I found cannabis

334
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: as medicine for me because I've been sober twenty four years.

335
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: I don't smoke recreationally. I'm literally in the program. I

336
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: don't go around smoking a joint. I haven't smoke a

337
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: joint in twenty I don't do it for recreation. I

338
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: use these rubs, creams, oils, Uh, what's the vape? Tinkers

339
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: and all the things only for medicine when I was

340
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: hurt real bad. And I still use it now as

341
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: daily medicine for my body and oils to keep my

342
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: body going. But to those who want to smoke and like,

343
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: you know, because you're like, I'm not a smoke neither

344
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: of mine. I don't smoke at all. I mean, I'm

345
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: not gonna sit there and hey, you want to smoke

346
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: with joint and I'm cool, thank you, But you can't matter. Chris.

347
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: Chris smokes them all day. This morning, we're talking Joe,

348
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: you gotta grinder on your desk and you don't know,

349
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: but I think they're doing in the back office. And

350
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, I love it because I look at it

351
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: as and I see my friends and colleagues like, that's

352
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: your medicine. That's cool. Go do that. You know, I'm

353
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: doing an avocado toast. I mean, you smoke and enjoy it.

354
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get mine. And I love though, the fact

355
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: that that's your story and how now your new lady

356
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: has been helping so many and then you got to

357
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: see the change in people, and I'm like, wow, this

358
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: is real deal, you know, And and it's It's happened

359
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: again several times in my life afterwards, you know, that

360
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: really changed my mindset or made me vulnerable, like you said,

361
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: to be able to accept it as what it really is.

362
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: It's it's medicine. But I've seen I've had people in

363
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,360
Speaker 1: my life with some mental health issues in the last

364
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: few years and even watching them get off. I went

365
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: through a journey with a family member of all the

366
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: pharmaceutical medicines they put them on and watch them basically

367
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: poison themselves to get tremmors, to get acne, to get

368
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: all the stuff from from the medicine that her doctor

369
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: gave her to getting off and getting on our gail

370
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: caps and being able to sleep at night and being

371
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: able to regulate their moods. It really, it really changed

372
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: my whole mindset. And it's it's been this evolution of

373
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: change for fourteen fifteen years now. It's funny, man, I

374
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: literally just lost a dear friend of mine who well,

375
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: they haven't found his body yet. He's been missing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

376
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Monday two six days now. And he had a parasite

377
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: in his brain and he had lyme disease. And I

378
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: don't think he was doing any kind of cannabist treatment.

379
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: But like I was in my head thinking, I haven't

380
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: talked to his wife to ask at this point, why

381
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: am I going to ask? But you know, my gut

382
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: feeling was and is now going. I bet he wasn't

383
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: using any type of cannabis to help treat his thoughts

384
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and his feelings as his big morning show host in

385
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: San Francisco. And just to think, as you say that,

386
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I feel you so much because in my head too,

387
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: I think of people and myself. I'm going, you know,

388
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: I need to start taking some other things. I want

389
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: to talk to you about that, like as you say,

390
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: what is good for sleep? Because at night, you know,

391
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: I'll take maybe an anxiety pill, this and that. But

392
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: I know you guys have products for nighttime, right, Yeah.

393
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: I think as far as product knowledge, I'm gonna let

394
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: Nick speak on that. There's probably nobody and I'm part

395
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: of the manufacturing side, but probably nobody understands the product well,

396
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: just as we deal with so as we're talking about

397
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: that mental health, and I know that I've seen that

398
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 1: in the papers work that you sent us. You know

399
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: you're most excited about the development research and the PTSD

400
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: and the mental health issues of cannabis. So are we

401
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: on this show? Like our show is about pushing this

402
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: to get to become more medicine. I can't wait to

403
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: have a headache and I'm two hundred pounds and what

404
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: type of cannabis I should use pill take to take

405
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: care of that headache? I just got a cramp in

406
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: my leg. I got a knee pain. I'm one hundred

407
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds. What should I use to take away

408
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,959
Speaker 1: this pain? Like we know two advils, three advils if

409
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: you're two hundred fifty pounds four advils. It's the max

410
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: you can take. Like I know this because I've read

411
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: enough about advils to know how to treat my pains.

412
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait for this advancement to help people with

413
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: the PTSDs, with the insomnia, at nights, with anxiety and

414
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: the daytime, let alone at nighttime are with the back

415
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: pain or whatever pains you're having, or for the cancers.

416
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: But to have all these weight nights. So as we're

417
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: mentioning this and you kind of mentioned at night, what

418
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: do you guys have that's perfect for somebody to take

419
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: at night? So for a nighttime honestly, we're in the

420
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: process of developing a nighttime specific kind of line. Like

421
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: currently we have our Sunrise and Sunset tinctures, but but

422
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: we're trying to kind of build on top of that

423
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: and expand it with Currently those are only THHC essentially

424
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: with some terpenes and stuff in it. We want to

425
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: We had a formula before that we were producing under

426
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: another brand because we do white label some stuff as well,

427
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: but bringing in the THAC CBD CBN CBG combinations are

428
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: what we found as best for sleep, so not just THHC.

429
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, like the CBN is a is a big one.

430
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Um in the CBG as well. Um, and everyone knows

431
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: about CBD, but um the biggest thing. I'm no doctor,

432
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: so I will this is up here and in North Carolina,

433
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I senior, but um, but what I will say is

434
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: like I know what works well for me and what

435
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: I get feedback from people on in and yeah that

436
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: that kind of combination of those different cannabinoids are really

437
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: like what I would say would be best for sleep.

438
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: So we currently don't have that right now. I would say, like,

439
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: out of our current lineup, like what would be best

440
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: for sleep would either be the um sunset tincture or

441
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: the indica gel caps the big old fat dab of

442
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,479
Speaker 1: the diamonds. Yea, I might not out. Oh yeah, so

443
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: we do have our gel capsules that are they're live

444
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: resin full spectrum, strain specific and so um we do

445
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: it sativa hybrid indica because we change up the strains

446
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: a lot, but they are strange specific so like for example,

447
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: these are three bears og is our indica. No let's

448
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: shake on the hybrid sour strawberry are fativa. So they

449
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: are strange specifics. So like first leepwise, I would go

450
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: like an Indica Live resident joke out full Well, we're

451
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna break real quick and we're coming back. I want

452
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: to keep going through some of these products you have,

453
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: and I also want to hear about you, Nick, and

454
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,639

455
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: Are you from the big city where you're a basketball

456
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: player out there? I know he did some surfing and

457
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: you're very into a lot of sports. I remember hearing that,

458
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: uh and reading some things about that. It's Cannabis Talk

472
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Panthers fan. I'm a huge tar Heel fan. Okay,

473
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: but um but uh, as far as my background, I

474
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: grew up more than like that. I guess you call

475
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: action sports like uh, snowboard, skateboard, serve, um, kind of

476
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: those industries. That's what it was, Okay, I was I

477
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: was down the line up maybe something like that. I

478
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: knew with sports stuff, yeah, yeah, um but yeah, started

479
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: snowboarding when I was like three years old. Started so

480
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: you can grind out there, you can go crazy, are

481
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: you guy the guy that goes up high in the

482
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,479
Speaker 1: air and everything else? So he must love the mountains

483
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: right now? What they look like right here behind is

484
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: huh oh man, So so those are probably weak for him.

485
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: That's the thing is, like I went so hard. I

486
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: started when I was three. By the time I was

487
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: like fifteen, I was like kind of burnout on like snowboarding,

488
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: and like I honestly haven't been in like three years ago,

489
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: maybe like once a season at best, if that in

490
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: the past fifteen sixteen years. But uh, but yeah, I

491
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: started snowboarding I was like three, started skateboarding when I

492
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: was probably eight years old. Started uh, surfing when I

493
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: was like probably ten or eleven years old. And that's

494
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: where kind of uh pretty much. I was born in

495
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: the stix as you as you mentioned you were out

496
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: in the six yeah, da Davy County, North Carolina. So

497
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: like the town was called Moxville, not Knoxville, Tennessee, but Moxville.

498
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: And then like the little section of the county here

499
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna start talking about come out. Uh and then uh,

500
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: the little section of the county that my grandparents still

501
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: live in to this day is called Turkey Foot. Um,

502
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: so like yeah, they got it, gets that's what I say.

503
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: But um, but then when I was like ten eleven

504
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: years old, I moved to u Ryzle Beach, North Carolina.

505
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: And that's like where I got really into surfing and

506
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And uh went from competing and going

507
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: to the mountains all the time to like it might

508
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: be better at snowboard than I am at surfing, but

509
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: I like this beach life. Uh it's pretty nice. And

510
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: then um and then yeah, so kind of from there,

511
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: I graduated high school and I was like where do

512
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to go? And I'd been to San Diego

513
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: and stuff to come out and surf and do all that,

514
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: and uh so I was like, I don't want to

515
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: be anywhere else on the East Coast really other than

516
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Riceful Beach. I think it's like the best place on

517
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,479
Speaker 1: the East Coast. And then um so I was like, oh,

518
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: I'll go dabble into California. So came out here after

519
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: high school and shit, been here probably fifteen years now, yeah,

520
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: thirty one. I moved out when I was seventeen, so

521
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do the math right now. And now

522
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: you're sitting there repping buddies. You get into the cannabis

523
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: space from North Carolina? Was it a big deal? Your

524
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: family looking at you like, what the hell are you doing? Boy?

525
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: So you would think so. And that's what's actually funny

526
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: is like my my mom's parents, Like I've never seen

527
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: alcohol at their house. I don't. You don't say a

528
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 1: cup sword I personally I drink I stuff like that.

529
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: But like they are very like Southern Baptists, like Bible belt. Yeah,

530
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: oh yeah, but so are we. But I seen my belt.

531
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: But what's really cool is like, no, they're like so

532
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: supportive of it, like they they rocked their Buddies hats

533
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Um, I think what really hit

534
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: home with them, Like there's a couple of things. Like

535
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: number one, they they don't like alcohol so much. They're

536
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: not big on tobacco. And they grew up literally on

537
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,640
Speaker 1: tobacco road. Um. So like all the all the all

538
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: the tobacco used to come from the region that like

539
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: that's all tobacco country, all that farmland. Um. And then

540
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Winston Salem, which is like the closest city is where

541
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: like R. J. Reynolds and stuff is from so so

542
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: more than any But they're not big on alcohol, but

543
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: they compare it to like really like alcohol after prohibition,

544
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: like and like being at like Anheuser Busch or something

545
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: like that. And uh. But but they actually see it

546
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: a lot better because now they do understand the medicinal

547
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: benefits and like that, hey, this plant has a lot

548
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: more to offer to then we all know what alcohol

549
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: can do to people. Like I said, I drink, but

550
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 1: my proudest moments probably aren't when I was drinking, right,

551
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: So did you get them to use Buddies products? So

552
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: so no, they haven't really, Um, but I think what

553
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: really hit home for them is my great aunt, so

554
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: my grandfather's brother's wife, she got cancer, and so her

555
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: sons and nephews and nieces would go to Colorado and

556
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: fly stuff back. And you're talking about people that are

557
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: very like by the book, by the law, do not

558
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: break the law. Their names are known in the town,

559
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and because it's such a small town, and and but

560
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: that's the only thing that helped her. And so they

561
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: threw all that out the window, and they're like, you

562
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: have these people literally flying the Colorado and bringing stuff back. So, yeah,

563
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: just changed their whole perception on it. So they went

564
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 1: from the nice Christian Bible belts to smugglers. Yeah, exactly,

565
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: anything for grandma. Yeah yeah, And there's nothing wrong with

566
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: that because and it's funny, how crazy that that's what

567
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: it takes sometimes, because I mean, I'm sorry to hear

568
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: she's doing okay, she's actually doing great. I just saw her,

569
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: God bless that's wonderful. And to think that she's doing great,

570
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: because you know, how many stories have we heard like

571
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: that with kids they're crossing state lines. We talked to

572
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: one family. The guys went to jail for they, you know,

573
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: child abuse, because they took the kids and they lost custody.

574
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,719
Speaker 1: They lost custody that you don't mean, and it just

575
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: it breaks my heart when you hear stories like that

576
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: and to hear your grandmother going through that. Who can't

577
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: just go down the street to pick up some medicine,

578
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: and you know, it's like, wow, you got to really

579
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: do the smuggling across state lines and it's medicine that

580
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: doesn't get looked as medicine. Now, let's talk about all

581
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: this great medicine. Because you guys have quite a bit

582
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: of products here. It's not just a few things I

583
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: was looking on the website, but I can just look

584
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: at the table, break all down what you guys have

585
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: for different people and why they should use what you

586
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: guys have. UM Well, to your point, yes, we had

587
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: a lot of products m but what I think that

588
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: we do very well at is kind of where and

589
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: nothing against other companies where I'm not trying to make

590
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: that comparison, but but you see brands that have their

591
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: core product and then they'll bring in additional skews to

592
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: trying to kind of like round it out and pull

593
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: in some revenue from other areas. But it's like it's

594
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: always going back to that core product. I feel like

595
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: we do a pretty good job at like any single

596
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: product that hits our menu does well in its respective categories.

597
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: So so yeah, I think we are What we do

598
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: best at is providing multiple different options across the board,

599
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: educating people on what these different products are and letting

600
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: them make the most educated purchasing decision, rather than having

601
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: one product that we have to try to market and

602
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: make it seem like it's this like amazing thing to

603
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: try to push customers over into that and ending up

604
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: with sometimes like pushing customers into like a misled, miseducated

605
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: purchase sign decision. So I think that's what well. That

606
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: seems like most of your products did you have up

607
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: here also are derived from concentrates, right, so it sounds

608
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: like you guys have really gotten that portion down. So

609
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: let me hear a little bit more about that concentrate

610
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: session or that you guys are breaking it down. How

611
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: are you extracting it that's making it come out so great?

612
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: So I have such a great name because on the streets,

613
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Buddies is good. Brand's good, but you know, the looks good.

614
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: People love it. So so our focus is quality products

615
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: at affordable prices. So um, all of our products right

616
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: now are BHO so extracted by buttane. Um. We've considered

617
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: dabbling into the solvent list space, and we actually did

618
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: like a little limited launch recently. But but the idea

619
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: is like to really have like the Buddy the Buddies

620
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: model fit is quality products that affordable prices, and solvent

621
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: lists to do quality and an affordable prices very very

622
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: very difficult. So we stick mainly to our BHO products.

623
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: So so we're using buttane to extract which is a solvent.

624
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: But like not to scarey one, like all of that

625
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: solvent comes back out, it gets tested parts per billion

626
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: with and only that. I mean, if I go ahead

627
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: and spark this joint or this class plunt, I'm gonna

628
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: use a lighter which is gonna have buchane in it,

629
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: so I'll probably get more beautane inhilation off of smoking

630
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: joint than I would off of smoking. People never realize

631
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: that though, pick it act like what do you mean,

632
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: I've actually had never heard that compared I've heard of that.

633
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: I know about your smoking bututane when you use the lighter,

634
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: but the comparison to that, you're actually smoking more beautane

635
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: off of taking a ball grip than to smoke a

636
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: vapor take a dab. Then that is all we're gonna

637
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: use that now. Yeah, well we have when we have

638
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: good testing here too in California, especially that there's a

639
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: lot that they're gonna test for, so they're gonna test

640
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: for residuals of the bututane. So I mean I feel

641
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: pretty confident and that I wouldn't have any problems smoking

642
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 1: your product exactly. So that's what we like to say

643
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: is like to do a quality product at that affordable price,

644
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: Like you you have to have a salt and solvent

645
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: that yields more. If you're just doing heat and pressure

646
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: and squishing something, you're not gonna eagle it as much

647
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to solve it for a lot more. So.

648
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's what we stick to is our

649
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: products are either distillate based or live resin based. We're

650
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: definitely known mostly for our live resin products at this

651
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: point and where we've taken those. Um So that means

652
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a full spectrum oil. Yeah, full spectrum yeah, strange

653
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: specific it's not like it's just a less processed oil,

654
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: which which I can get it more into but but

655
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: really what's we're mostly known for our vape products now,

656
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: which is it kind of crazy because when Buddy's actually

657
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: launched back in two thousand and sixteen, two thou seventeen,

658
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: we were pretty much like anti vapeum. And that's because

659
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: vapes in twenty and sixteen, twenty and seventeen are not

660
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: necessarily what they are today. Um, they've come a long way.

661
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: But but but back then, if you if you knew

662
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: what was going in Massachusetts was the first to start

663
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: to buy on it back then too because they had

664
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: a couple of and then we had some bad deals

665
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: with people putting olive oil in them and save pins

666
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 1: and this and that, and you still don't know. I mean,

667
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: it's still yeah. And so that's why I tell people

668
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,239
Speaker 1: is like you you can take a nug and you

669
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: can look at it, smell it, break it open, investigate it.

670
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 1: But when you're like looking in some oil and a

671
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: vape cart, like what's going on in there? And so

672
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: that you're trying to see how fast or slow the

673
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: bubble moves? Yeah, So and so that was exploited. Um, basically,

674
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: so they're taking basically distill it like a lower quality

675
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: oil that um and probably not the best distillate at

676
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: the time, and then terpenes not from cannabis um and

677
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: then that's like the leastier Whereas then on top of

678
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: that you have these fillers and additives and all this

679
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 1: basically like just trying to like fill up carts with

680
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: the most least expensive trash so you could maximize your

681
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: profits and doing all that stuff. And that's the hardware

682
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: really wasn't there either, so you had to dilute it

683
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: and make it. You have to get smoked somehow and

684
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: try not to get it the weak on the bottom. Yeah,

685
00:34:54,160 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: So basically, if you're like a true stoner cannabis lover,

686
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: like you love the plant, you cared about it, and

687
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: you know what was going into vape products, you probably

688
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: didn't really want anything to do with it. And then

689
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: also you get into the medicinal aspect of it. It's like, Okay,

690
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: a patient learns that say blue Dream is good for

691
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: their medical condition, they go to a they go to

692
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: a dispensary and they see a vapecard on the shelf

693
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: and it says blue Dream on that vape card and

694
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: they buy it and they smoke it and little, they

695
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: know nothing in that vapecart actually came from Blue Dream.

696
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: So that is that okay? Is that right? Do we

697
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: want to be like selling these things calling them strangers

698
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: that stimulated the flavor of what they exactly their best,

699
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: their best try at it. So so that became part

700
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: of our ethos. Two is just transparency. Is is putting

701
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: in it what the label says, not using fake terpenes,

702
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: only using cannabis dribe terpines that we create in our

703
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: own lab. So so the customer really does get the

704
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: experience that that they had when they were eighteen the

705
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: first time they hit that Blue Dream card or what

706
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: or joint. So that that's been one of the things

707
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: and I think Nick sells it really well. Is one

708
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: of our our reasons we've been successful is we just

709
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: sell it like it is. We during Vapegate, we pulled

710
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: all our botanicals off the shelf because we didn't know

711
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 1: what was causing the problem. We didn't know what was

712
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: making people sick. We knew it was in cannabis um

713
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: and we were just honest. We took it was a

714
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: huge hit to our bottom line pulling that that whole

715
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: category out, But we didn't want to be one of

716
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: the people that were out there putting poison out. We

717
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: didn't know, no one knew what was causing it, and

718
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: it changed changed our business model at that time. Yeah.

719
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: So so basically we went from like anti vape, we're

720
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: not going to do vapes. And then our entrance into

721
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,839
Speaker 1: the vape market was in Oregon in late twenty seventeen

722
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: or early twenty and eighteen. But it was actually this

723
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: product right here, this white box. We still have it

724
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: to this day. But basically, um, they they had a

725
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: discovery of a terpene extraction process us where they got

726
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: cannabis drives, strains, specific terpenes and a lot of them.

727
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: And the thought was, hey, if we just make our

728
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: own really clean distillate and then we add back cannabis

729
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: drives strains specific terpenes that we extracted ourselves and those

730
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: are the only two ingredients in the product, then that's

731
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: a hundred percent cannabis drive product that we'd be willing

732
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: to smoke ourselves. And so that was basically we're like, okay,

733
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: enter the organ bape market. We have a one hundred

734
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: percent cannabis product. We're being honest about what's in it.

735
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,240
Speaker 1: The strain that you say that's in there, that everything

736
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 1: in there came from that strain. So so you're extracting

737
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: the oil ends and just separating the trapeines during the

738
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: extraction process and putting it all out those same trips

739
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: back in. Yeah so so then so yeah, so enter

740
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 1: the organ bape market with that product. And because of

741
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: the yield that we're getting from our terpenes and the

742
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: fact that we didn't really agree with the current state

743
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: of the vape industry anyway, rather than selling it as

744
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: like a premium product at a premium price, we actually

745
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: sold it at a lower price than all the botanicals

746
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: so non cannabis, turpeene and stuff like that. Um, so

747
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: we've sold a better product at a more affordable price.

748
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: And the next thing we knew basically almost overnight, where

749
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: this is the number one selling vapecart on the organ market.

750
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: So that's awesome. Take a step back, it's like, okay,

751
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: like you can do the right thing, be honest, be transparent,

752
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: like stay true to the plant and still win. So

753
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: that basically became the basis of everything we did at

754
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: Buddies is quality products, quality products, affordable prices, transparency, education,

755
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 1: true to the plant, taking industries like vape that have

756
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: been previously stepped on and turning it around and showing

757
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: it that could be done in a different way. So

758
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, so that's where we have just what a

759
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: few different vape cartridges that people are offered. We have

760
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 1: four different lines of vape now so um are three

761
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,320
Speaker 1: of them are Buddies, Um, it used to be four Underbuddies,

762
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: and that's kind of what all touched on. So um.

763
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: We have our dissolate with cannabis terpenes. We have a

764
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,760
Speaker 1: live resin dissolate blend, and then we have one hundred

765
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: percent live resin with zero dissolate added. And then we

766
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: along the way, we actually had added a flavored line

767
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 1: to Buddies and I actually brought that here just we

768
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 1: don't have it anymore, um, but we're like, hey, like

769
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: there's all these flavored cartridges out there. Like if we

770
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: do it the right way and don't call it a

771
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: cannabis strain and don't sell it as like a strain

772
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,439
Speaker 1: specific product, we just call it like this is tooty fruity. Yeah,

773
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: we disci it is. Yeah, we put it the word

774
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: every every package we have, we call it exactly what

775
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: it is on the box. So this is distilled cannabis

776
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: oil with flavor infused terpenes, so like making it very

777
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: clear U. So we had our Buddies colorful line, so

778
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 1: that's the Pineapple Buddies. So when vapegate came out and

779
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 1: everyone freaked out, we decided to drop the flavored line

780
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 1: completely and run just a Buddies one hundred percent cannabis

781
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: kind of thing, like we're only gonna use cannabis ingredients,

782
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: no flavors or anything for Buddies. After everything kind of

783
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 1: settled down a little bit, people are come out, they're

784
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: still selling flavors and stuff like that, so we kind

785
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: of recognize, like, hey, there still is a place in

786
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: the market for flavored disolate vapes. So it's not like

787
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: run away from it. But if we're gonna do it,

788
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: let's do it the way that we thinks right, use

789
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 1: our Buddies morals, ethics, transparency behind it. So to maintain

790
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 1: Buddies being one hundred percent cannabis, we renamed the flavored

791
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: line into b brand so you can see it's still

792
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: our font and everything. So it's basically saying like Buddies

793
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 1: is like one hundred percent cannabis and B brand is

794
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: like that side show. It's like, not the one, it's

795
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: the two. It's not the A, it's the B. It's A.

796
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: It's basically our outlet for products that don't fit under

797
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: the Buddies one hundred percent cannabis model but still have

798
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: a place in the market if presented correctly. So like um,

799
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: when we relaunched it, we just did pineapple, raspberry, strawberry,

800
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: so weird that you're hitting. It's the flavor you're gonna

801
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: taste just so like, we wouldn't put a strain name

802
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: on there because the ingredients in here are distillate and

803
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,479
Speaker 1: botanical typeenes aka non cannabis typeenes. So if it didn't

804
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 1: come from a strain name, we're not going to call

805
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: it a straight name because you don't want that medical

806
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: patient that learned that Blue Dream was good for their

807
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: medical condition thinking that this actually came from Blue Dream

808
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: when it didn't. It might be your closest try it

809
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 1: blue Dream, but we just don't want to make that

810
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: claim to have that same flavor profile. But it's not

811
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: gonna have the typeine profile so close, but it's it's

812
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: still not gonna give it an exact same effect. Yeah,

813
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: so um. And then also like we avoid using the

814
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,439
Speaker 1: words tiva hybrid or indico in these boxes because those

815
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: are cannabis classifications and if it didn't come from any

816
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: of those strains, that what would make it as a

817
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: tiva hybrid or nica, So we stay away from that.

818
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: So we labeled it as fruit flavor and fuse distillate.

819
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: Like literally, it's like a you like the nicotine vapes

820
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: will remove the nicotine. It's like a flavored THHC vape.

821
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: So really just like being again honest telling the customer

822
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 1: what it is selling it for the price that it

823
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: should be sold for because these are not the most

824
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: expensive ingredients. So yeah, so that's now our outlet. That's

825
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: our like affordable kind of like and we do really

826
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: well with it. So again it goes to show you

827
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: don't have to lie to the customer to selling the product.

828
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: That's great. I'd love you guys as transparency like that,

829
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: I mean, and I feel like it starts from the top.

830
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at how Brian even started

831
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: to show with that transparence here on who you are

832
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: and how the company is being ran. It doesn't I

833
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: didn't know this you know what I'm saying. Like and

834
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: I see this and I see how you're talking, it

835
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: makes me look at Buddies even better, you know. I mean,

00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: passion come from? Like? Were we always a cannabis dudent?

866
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: Like this shit? I think I started smoking when I

867
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: was fifteen, which is a late bloomer compared to a

868
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: lot of my friends. But uh yeah, once once I started,

869
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: I was looking back from the don't surf and smoke

870
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: kind of go together? I mean yeah, and not only that,

00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,359
Speaker 1: surfing and snowboarding and all those type of sports, right,

872
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: So I was always around it. I always like appreciated it.

873
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 1: I liked it. I just like I kind of I was.

874
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: I was, I guess, you say, like a good kid

875
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: growing up living the Bible. But but no, but um

876
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: and and my my miss my mischief went into other areas.

877
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know, I guess I kind of get

878
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: my wallet back. He walked by me a few times

879
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: and there, wait a minute, I'm my walk to go

880
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: with this bil thief. But yeah, started fifteen is when

881
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 1: I started smoking, And yeah, I kind of just fell

882
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: in love with it. And um, where other people would

883
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: be kind of like they just like to get high,

884
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: like I was kind of like the nerd, like oh no,

885
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 1: like look and I worried about the different strains, all

886
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: the different like yeah, so like, um, yeah, I just

887
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: fucking love it. So yeah, I never got into the

888
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: strains like that when I was smoking, you know, I mean,

889
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: it was just like, oh this was killer, this was

890
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: skunk weed, and this is bammer chronic ectally, it just

891
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 1: ever got into turpenes and all this ship where you're like, wow,

892
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: I didn't even know all that as a kid growing up,

893
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: But now I started spoking at six and then you

894
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: know six to twenty six. Quote, Oh, this is great.

895
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: So you guys actually have flower as well. No, so

896
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: we don't. We actually don't do flowers. So I thought

897
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: those are flower bags there. No, so these are actually

898
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: little mini bags of gel caps. So how did the

899
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: gel caps work? There's TC in these gel packs? So okay, crips.

900
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 1: You feel like you're head and having a hard time

901
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: with the headphones right there, and they were winning. I

902
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 1: got I got a small hand. I guess they're flying

903
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: every time next to him. I thought his arm was

904
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 1: like twitch or something point on with this. So we'll

905
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: explain the gel caps and what they have in him.

906
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: And it's a gelton capsule, just like you would get

907
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: like a fish oil pill or a liquid jell or.

908
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: So I give gel caps um to my mother in

909
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: law as well as my grandma takes the gel caps

910
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: They work really well well, as you know or maybe

911
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: you don't know, but countabis itself was a natural anti inflammatory,

912
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: so it really helps with everything. So when something's wrong,

913
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 1: in flide your audience because something's the past. Thing is discreet.

914
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,319
Speaker 1: So if you're getting on a plane or something and

915
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: you've got anxiety, and you want to rest on the plane.

916
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: It's just easy. We're a society that you used to

917
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 1: popping pills for for every ailment. Yeah, like I said,

918
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: you can definitely get your ground. Want to take a pill.

919
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: So these full spectrum pills. Talk about them and what

920
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: they have and what they can do for you, Like

921
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: there are one hundred milligrams such are so we have

922
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: in the gel capsule line, we have so so many

923
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: different um options. But um, I would say the main

924
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 1: thing with the gel capsule is, um, it's edible. So

925
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: most edibles are gummies whatever, and so you're eating sugar,

926
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: eating candy with your medicine. So on one thing, the

927
00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: comparison to most edibles is just okay, remove the sugar.

928
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: You're just popping a pill and then um. The other

929
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: thing with them is like the bang for your buck

930
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:57,240
Speaker 1: compared to edibles is like it's almost not even comparable. So, uh,

931
00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,479
Speaker 1: most edibles in California, for example, you can only buy

932
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: gummies one hundred milligrams per gram um sorry per package.

933
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: With the gel caps we can do up to a thousand.

934
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,919
Speaker 1: So um, So if you're if you're if you're say

935
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 1: you're a hundred milligram a day. Person, Um, you're gonna

936
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: go through a thousand milligrams in ten days. UM, bottle

937
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,399
Speaker 1: of gel capsules thousand milligrams called you like fifty sixty bucks. Um.

938
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: If you buy ten bags of gummies, which is what

939
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: you would have to do, ten bags one hundred milligrams apiece,

940
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: you're gonna like over two hundred bucks. So, Um, do

941
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 1: you want to spend fifty bucks every ten days or

942
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: do you want to spend two hundred dollars every ten days? Um?

943
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 1: So the bang for your buck again just it's not

944
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: even comparable. Then. Also, if you want to eat one

945
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: hundred milligrams, do you want to eat a whold bag

946
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,439
Speaker 1: of candy? Or do you want to pop a pill?

947
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: If you want want to eat two hundred milligrams then

948
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: really so so there are people, like for people with

949
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: high tolerances that need to take high doses, the gel

950
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: caps is just so much more realistic than gummies or

951
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: something else. We also have some that are like one

952
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: to one. Yeah, so we we um in the disilate line.

953
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: So that's the that's really kind of what sets us

954
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: apart in the gel cap game. Uh, other brands do

955
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: have gel capsules, but um, from what I know, most

956
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: of them are dissolate based, where we do have dissolate based,

957
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: which disul is basically just like an isolated It is

958
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: a it is a affordable entry level oil, you could

959
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: call it. But um uh, what we're really known for

960
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: is our live resin gel capsules. So um, live resin,

961
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: full spectrum, strain specific, just so all around better quality oil.

962
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: Um So, I I don't know if we are. I

963
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: think we may be the only live resin gel caps

964
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: on the market right now. Really so yeah, so um

965
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 1: So basically that's the big difference is um, yeah, this

966
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: is the one. I have a live resin fused. Yeah.

967
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: So white packaging will be dissolate based. So it's an

968
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: isolated cannabinoid. We won't call it sativa hybrid or indication.

969
00:49:57,560 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: Are those are the pills right there too in the jars? Yeah?

970
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: So here pop one of these again. It's so much

971
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 1: easier to get someone to take a medicine and pillform

972
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: than it is to Hey, you're gonna eat this brownie

973
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna make what do you mean? I'm like, hey,

974
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: this is what my wife's gonna take. Yeah, we got

975
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: put it in her daily vitamin cocktail. I might get laid. Uh.

976
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: We do bottles for the people that want to buy like,

977
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: like they know they like the products and so they

978
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: want to like not have to buy a million of these.

979
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: But then we also have the tester packs for anyone

980
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 1: that wants to just like a buy a daily dose

981
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: or try the product out. Then we have the little

982
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: milers but um, but yeah, and the Disolate line. We

983
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 1: go as low as five milligrams per dose and as

984
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: high as one hundred milligrams per dose. So um in

985
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: the live resin line. Right now, they're all twenty five

986
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: milligrams per dose. UM, So if you need a lower dose,

987
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 1: we don't really have you covered yet, but we're going

988
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: to be expanding. So the lowest doses twenty five milligrams

989
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: four the lives for the live resin line. UM. That's

990
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: why we want to expand the live resin line. UM

991
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: because basically disilate. Everyone knew the Disilate line. It's very

992
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: much easier to do ratios and all kinds of other

993
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: stuff with disolate and then also the bank for your book,

994
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: like people just want that low priced product. But now

995
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: that we've tested the live resin capsules in the twenty

996
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: five milligram um and we know that people want to

997
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: and want to see more varieties from it than we

998
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: can start introducing a ten milligram dose or a five

999
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: milligigram dose in the live resion as well. I just

1000
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: love the fact that it's like this because, like you said,

1001
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: this is so I just want to say friendly for

1002
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: the community that's a pill popping community and thinking, like,

1003
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: you know Orange County, right, That's what I feel like,

1004
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: are not only Orange County, but let's just look across

1005
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 1: the land, right, I mean, yeah, we can only use

1006
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 1: in California, but you know, let's go a Bay area,

1007
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 1: you know, black Hawk, I don't know, you know what

1008
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, name the name the area that you're all

1009
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: booze but and their pill popping of like, oh, this

1010
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: is gonna be perfect for us. There are for the

1011
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 1: guy or girl who doesn't want to smell like anything,

1012
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: are doesn't like put an oil under their tongue because

1013
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 1: they hate the taste of a tigster, right because I

1014
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,919
Speaker 1: want to sugar. Yeah there's that too, It's healthier. Great

1015
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: stories on those, So I answered our infu line. Every

1016
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: every package has a website on it, and they come

1017
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,319
Speaker 1: through and I get most of them. Do you take

1018
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: the trash out too? I do whatever takes, man, this

1019
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: is cannabis. But at least once a week I'll get

1020
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 1: a story on a thank you story on someone using

1021
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,759
Speaker 1: our gail caps. And it's it's that learned behavior of

1022
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm popping an oxy or I'm popping an orco. They're

1023
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: still popping a pill, but they're they're able to slowly

1024
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: wean themselves off their opioids. So it's it's a great

1025
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 1: story out there, and it is. It's our whole culture

1026
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 1: is used to whatever's wrong with this. Got a headache,

1027
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm a junk, whatever, I'm going to take a pill

1028
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 1: for it. And and so it's an easy transition for

1029
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: someone like you said, in all those areas or where

1030
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 1: they can step away for something that's actually doing harm.

1031
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 1: It's an exit drug. Well not only an exit drug.

1032
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: It's for those who are the canna scared. You're you're

1033
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,839
Speaker 1: dealing with a spouse and mother, a father, a person

1034
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: who's I don't know about that. Oh, really, well what

1035
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: about this that? Oh? I just think like even myself,

1036
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: my mind thinks this that I think that the community

1037
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: would feel this way out, Well, let me see that,

1038
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 1: and then they'll look at it because it's a pill.

1039
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: It's not this flower that you're gonna roll up and

1040
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: smoke because of the mental stigma, taboo, bullshit propaganda that

1041
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: has been embedded in this culture's head that's against cannabis, right,

1042
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: But this is not embedded in their head. This is

1043
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: embedded as a good thing. So my point is when

1044
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 1: they see this, m let me see that, they may

1045
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 1: be enticed to look at it more because it's what

1046
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: they're comfortable with. Right. A pill is what that community

1047
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: is comfortable. They call it who you want. They could

1048
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: be churched, they could be gang banger. I don't care

1049
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 1: who it is. They're just anti cannabis. Where it's like,

1050
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to smoke it, I don't

1051
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 1: want to lease panged oils, but I take my pills

1052
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: because my doctor said so that was that was a

1053
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: dare campaign, right, the ru I mean, but I'm just

1054
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: saying there's so many out there, dude, that if you

1055
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: look at all these products, I can just imagine once again,

1056
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: I'm rolling the dice on my just perception of how

1057
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: people think, right, because and I'm not gonna lie you

1058
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:19,840
Speaker 1: ready for this? My own perception of like, oh, I

1059
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: bet I can I can convince people with this, more

1060
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,760
Speaker 1: like I'm feeling that way. I'm feeling I could convince

1061
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: people with this. These jails now even like, oh, you're hurting,

1062
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 1: why don't you try this? Because I'll have a lot

1063
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: of people in Southwards care like they want to take something.

1064
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,879
Speaker 1: But I don't want to smoke Joe, but I don't

1065
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: want to. They're talking to me and I've showed them

1066
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: the rubs. I'll tell them this and that. But if

1067
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: I showed them this, please, why wouldn't they jump on that?

1068
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, it's a peal, It's

1069
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: what you're used to take and you get surgery. You

1070
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: want to take a peal? Your doctor's gonna give you

1071
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 1: pills women's in pain for cramps, you know what I mean?

1072
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: What do they take up hill? And you know what,

1073
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: I think you could probably even replace them and put them.

1074
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say that. I didn't want to

1075
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: say that, but you know these look just like the

1076
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: fish oil pills. I mean not just like, but just

1077
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: like I may or may not have taken them some

1078
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 1: places that accidentally I mean, if you switch these in

1079
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: the bottle, you ain't getting pulled when you get pulled

1080
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 1: over when you get tested at the thing. No, those

1081
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: are my fishals the bottom from Costco. These are all

1082
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: my Omega three's right here. But but yeah, I've heard

1083
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: so many testimonials of like people using that product to

1084
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: get off of opio oilids or something like that. Um.

1085
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: Not only it's a pill aspect, but also a lot

1086
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: of those guys need to pack a punch with something

1087
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 1: you can take those high doses and everything. And but

1088
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 1: then to your point, like the my doctor told me

1089
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: this is okay, and the amount of pills that some

1090
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,279
Speaker 1: of these like, I would say, my mom is one

1091
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: of the only ladies I know her age that doesn't

1092
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: have a UM just a pill cabinet full and have

1093
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: something for every little thing. And it's like, but all

1094
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's a stigma with you to oh society,

1095
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:10,400
Speaker 1: in my country club, to Joe, how many pills do

Speaker 1: a day on the week, which was today, I did

1108
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: a shot. And I'm no doctor either, but I've seen

1109
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: people that have been able to get off of a

1110
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: lot of pills by using the cannabis, whether it's a

1111
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: jail tab. So my trulicity was on twoso ronically on Tuesdays.

1112
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: Today's Tuesday or whatever you're listening to this whatever, But

1113
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: today on Tuesday, I do a shot once a week

1114
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: for my diabetes. So I'm a diabetic as well, and

1115
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, I take and then because of them taking that,

1116
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: I had to take these other pills for cholesterol and

1117
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 1: this and that, because they go because you're a diabetic

1118
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,439
Speaker 1: the lowest dose of it, mind you. But and even

1119
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: my wife's like, why are you taking I'm like, I know,

1120
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: but the specialist said, and but my A one C

1121
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: levels and all my shits perfect right now. So all

1122
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 1: that being said, I'm at a blood level everything out.

1123
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 1: You check my BSL, you check my level. I'm golden.

1124
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 1: So I'm not opposed to it so much right now.

1125
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: And I'm not. And I just got off ankle surgery

1126
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: that I was taking some other pills that they gave

1127
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 1: me an overdose kit like I was. But then Mark

1128
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: Washerman from the populars at Law brought me all kinds

1129
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 1: of stuff. He might have brought me some of your book.

1130
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I was taking jails, I was taking liquids.

1131
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: I was just doing so much THHC stuff to help

1132
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: me with my pain because I tried to get off it.

1133
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: I didn't want to take these pain pills. But I mean,

1134
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: I was biggest mistake. I should have still taken him.

1135
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 1: Because my ankle surgery was massive. They shaved my heelbone,

1136
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 1: slid it over, put two screws in there. It was

1137
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: like massive pain, not like oh, let me handle this

1138
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: pain with some THHC. It was like, no, you need

1139
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 1: drugs and the THHC. So I went offa yeah, I know,

1140
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: I went off one day and it ruined, like damn

1141
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: near my marriage in my life everything because I went

1142
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: so insane with pain like I wasn't I felt like

1143
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: a paraplegic because I was in so much pain. Like

1144
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:29,200
Speaker 1: I remember feeling like my hands were cramped and I

1145
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: couldn't move and all because of the ankle surgery. But

1146
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 1: I used heavy THHC to help try to balance it,

1147
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: and it still wasn't enough because I was in that

1148
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: much pain. But yeah, I mean there's a time and

1149
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 1: a place for traditional medicine. Oh yeah, but but it's

1150
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: overprescribed and it's it's it's just everybody's go to and

1151
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 1: we jump on it like a CI grenade. I read

1152
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: it or I saw it on a Super Bowl commercial.

1153
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: I need to get that medicine because I think I

1154
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: might got up a backache or whatever. Even though you

1155
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: can grow a tail when it says be cautious for

1156
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 1: you guys, this brand, everything about it, it's awesome. I

1157
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: love how you guys got so we do we miss

1158
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: any of the other products that you guys have that

1159
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: you brought out here. I don't even touch on like

1160
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: the dripper for bad I was gonna say, I know

1161
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: last time I used to I gotta dab dart from you,

1162
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: which I thought was cool. So. Um So, basically this

1163
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: is a dripper. It's or we call it a dripper.

1164
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: It's a basically a syringe, but syringe doesn't have the

1165
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 1: best connotation. But basically there were pre Buddies, there were

1166
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 1: a lot of syringes on the market, but they were

1167
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: usually based syringes, and uh, if you know about disolate,

1168
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: like adding disolate to your joint or dabbing it or whatever,

1169
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: it is just not the best. Um So, we actually

1170
00:59:42,800 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 1: put a live resin dripper so um liquid diamonds, live resin.

1171
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: We're essentially taking our live resin liquifying the THHCA crystals

1172
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 1: aka diamonds um to get into its liquid states. So

1173
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 1: we could put it into vapes or we could put

1174
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 1: it into drippers. Um so, so yeah, pure live reds

1175
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 1: in strange specific again, um so, you could dab it,

1176
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: you can put it in your blunt, your joint, whatever.

1177
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 1: You could put it on some food and eat it.

1178
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: Um we can't sell it as edible, but like doesn't

1179
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: have to burn on the food or even if it's

1180
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 1: on cold food, like could have put it on a salad. Yeah. Yeah,

1181
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: so it's already like mostly decarbs soum so it's activated,

1182
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: ready to go. Um. So yeah, you could put it

1183
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,439
Speaker 1: on food and eat it. You wouldn't have to cook

1184
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: with it. You could just put it right. You can

1185
01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: put a straight in your mouth in yeah, exactly. It's

1186
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 1: metered on the side, so it's easy to figure out

1187
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,040
Speaker 1: the dose, yeah, or if you want to bake with

1188
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 1: it or whatever you want to do with it. Yeah.

1189
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 1: So it's it's just it's kind of again, it's for

1190
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: that person that wants a quick edible but maybe doesn't

1191
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: want the sugar of a gummy or something. My favorite

1192
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: would be for blunts though, I like to like inside

1193
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: of a blunt before I put the flour down, kind

1194
01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: of coat the inside and then put the flower down

1195
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: on top of it and then roll it up. And

1196
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the snake in the grass? Is that what you call it?

1197
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,960
Speaker 1: The snake in the grass? I thought that was you

1198
01:00:57,040 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: on the weekend. And this one's actually really cool. We

1199
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: found some some high CBD fresh frozen flower. So this

1200
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 1: was a Harley sue. So it tested as a one

1201
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: to one, which again that's like just from the front.

1202
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,960
Speaker 1: We don't we don't control that, um, that ratio, that's

1203
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: just from the flower itself. Um. So I like to

1204
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: take some like th HC rich flower, but then add

1205
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of this like one to one and

1206
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 1: still so you still get a little bit of the

1207
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: CBD effects. But it's I mean, I'm a big fan

1208
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: of the one to one. I don't think enough people

1209
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: put on. And then if you put a one to

1210
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: one on top of TC flower, then it's really you're

1211
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: just getting like a what is this that I smelled?

1212
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 1: Because it smells so the live resin Bruce Banner. It

1213
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: just smells a good clean cannabis for some weird read

1214
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: that's hard, you know what I mean, Like like what

1215
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:53,120
Speaker 1: does this smell like? Joe smells like great cannabis, like icy, Yeah,

1216
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 1: that's that's Bruce Banners smells like I love it. I

1217
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,960
Speaker 1: love your guys product to look the flavor. I can't

1218
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: wait to We didn't touch on the gummies, I guess

1219
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 1: the gummies are actually one of our newest products. So

1220
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: so basically if you see anything in green packaging is

1221
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: basically like our live resin line. So we uh everything, Yeah,

1222
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,240
Speaker 1: everything starts as a live resin dab essentially looking like

1223
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: this with the crystals and everything in it, and then

1224
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 1: once we develop this liquid diamond live resin method of

1225
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: um the ideas you can't take this in its raw

1226
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: form and put it into a vape cart all those

1227
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: crystals and everything will get clogged. But once we liquid

1228
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,959
Speaker 1: figured out how to liquify it, then we were able

1229
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: to do live resin cartridges, disposables, the drippers, um, the

1230
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 1: soft shells and crumble and cured resin. But the gummies

1231
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: are an extension of our live resin lines. So now

1232
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: our gummies are live resin full spectrum, strain specific um

1233
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: how many milligrams ten milligrams per peace, one hundred milligrams

1234
01:02:59,880 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and package. And then also we like cleaned it up

1235
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 1: to where we're not using like corn syrups or any

1236
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: of the like yellow fives or any of that stuff.

1237
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 1: So we do natural coloring, natural flavoring. They're vegan gluten freeze,

1238
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 1: so we're using tapioca syrup and cane sugar and just yeah,

1239
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: just a lot better ingredients and then again providing that

1240
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: clean experience at like a really affordable price. And then

1241
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: our crumble You mentioned our crumble line and our cured resin,

1242
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: So our neighbor right across street is Inmber Valley shout

1243
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: out to Inmber Valley guys. So most of our our

1244
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: input material comes from their indoor flower to make our

1245
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: crumble line or our cured resins. So what's the difference

1246
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: between a live resin and a cured resin? So live

1247
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: resin starts with fresh frozen material harvested I'm sorry, live

1248
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,120
Speaker 1: resin starts in the field. It's harvested right into a

1249
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: freezer truck and put away, and so it traps more

1250
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,840
Speaker 1: of the terpenes. It keeps it fresh. It's it's process fresh.

1251
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: We run our live resin a negative seventy degrees through

1252
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: our chillers, through our system. Cured resin comes from dry material,

1253
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 1: so it once it's once it's dried, then then we

1254
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: freeze it. We run the same process as the same temperature,

1255
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 1: but the starting material has been dried. Yeah. Basically, when

1256
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: you when you chop down a live plant, you don't

1257
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: just smoke it immediately. You dried and curate it. Right, So,

1258
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:22,440
Speaker 1: so cured resin comes from dried cured flour as opposed

1259
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: to live resin. Like he said, um, fresh frozen flower

1260
01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 1: is the input material for live resin and fresh frozen

1261
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: meaning right when we chop it down rather than drying

1262
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 1: and curying it, So would the other one costs more

1263
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: than because you have to wait for that process. Well,

1264
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: it there's a it's more than just dried verse cured.

1265
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: It's where is it coming from? As it indoors, they

1266
01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: look different like a sugar one. Yeah, and that well

1267
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: that even comes way more into play of live resin.

1268
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: They could all be live resin, but each strain is

1269
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,200
Speaker 1: going to have a different terpene pro file um. So

1270
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: higher the turpeene, the more liquidity it's going to be.

1271
01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: The lower turpeene profile um, the more sugary and like

1272
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 1: less what liquid is going to be. But yeah, really

1273
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: like each different cultivar, each different strain is going to

1274
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: determine essentially um the way that the extract comes out.

1275
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 1: So we all of our live resin, we're using the

1276
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: same process for every strain um. But yeah, live resin

1277
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: verse cured resin, you'll have a higher turpeene content most

1278
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: of the time because when you chop down a camas plant,

1279
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,960
Speaker 1: turpeenes starting to evaporate. They evaporated all the way into

1280
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: like the jar that you get, and then if you

1281
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:40,439
Speaker 1: leave your jar open and it loses its nose, so

1282
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: with live resin. Since we're flash freezing it right at harvest,

1283
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: we're not only trapping and preserving the terpenes in their freshest,

1284
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:51,640
Speaker 1: live est state, but we're also trapping them before they evaporate,

1285
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: so there's essentially more terpenes there. So um cured resin

1286
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: will basically a little bit of a lower turpeene profile,

1287
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: and then it represents like the dried cured flower, where

1288
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: live resin higher turpene profile and represents like the live

1289
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 1: state of the flower. Essentially, like if you if you

1290
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: chop down a plant, whatever the strain is, it's not

1291
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: gonna smell the same right when you chop it down

1292
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: versus when it's dried and cured and in a jar.

1293
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:21,680
Speaker 1: So and then when you open it up as well.

1294
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, exactly so well said Nick. I feel

1295
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: like I was educated so much today, seriously, So just

1296
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: to give some props and Nick to Nick's my conscience.

1297
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, I'll get a call in

1298
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: the middle of the day and he's like and there's

1299
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,680
Speaker 1: usually a couple of expectives first, and he's like, how

1300
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:38,480
Speaker 1: did this make it to the market? It doesn't taste good,

1301
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: or the labels crook head. And and and this is

1302
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,840
Speaker 1: this is kudos to him. He really cares about this

1303
01:06:44,920 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: brand and bleeds green. He oh yeah, he makes us better.

1304
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,480
Speaker 1: If we're looking at a new product, launch packaging goes

1305
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: to him before it goes to the market. And and

1306
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: and I call him, I'm like, Nick, what do you

1307
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: think of this package? And and you know, we take it,

1308
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 1: take it, and we try to implement. He's the one

1309
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: that touches the market every day. He's the one that

1310
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 1: the st he's out there with the people. Like I said,

1311
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 1: he's the people's champ. I've seen him all over the place.

1312
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 1: He slapping hands and he's doing his thing. He Nick

1313
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: brought Nick I think if not mistaken right, I had

1314
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: double knicks in the building a couple of times. Yeah,

1315
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I remember that. And and he's just a great dude.

1316
01:07:17,560 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: But not only a great dude. I didn't know you

1317
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:25,720
Speaker 1: were so well versed and educated on cannabis overall, because

1318
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: the way you expressed how you know cannabis is damn

1319
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: your second and none dude. That was very impressive. Thank

1320
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 1: you so much for educating me on all your different products,

1321
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: let on all the products in general. Because now, like

1322
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know about all this. You know, cured, We'll

1323
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 1: save the crumble lesson for later. I guess, Oh that's easy. Yeah,

1324
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: cured resin to crumble, you're just taking cured resin and

1325
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: you whip it into the crumble texture. So basically like

1326
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose some terpenes and stuff like that. But

1327
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: so basically the cured resin would just be like the

1328
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: raw forum. It's better for dabbing. It's gonna be a

1329
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: little more liquid and stuff like that. Crumble because we're

1330
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: whipping it up into this like kind of crumbly texture.

1331
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: It kind of drives out a little bit more sandwich

1332
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: so you can dab it. But then you can also

1333
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 1: use it as like a bultopper like in your joints,

1334
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:15,360
Speaker 1: and it's not as messy. So it's a it's a

1335
01:08:15,400 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: more versatile version of cured resin. But crumble is just

1336
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: cured resin in a different texture. Yeah, we have crumble

1337
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 1: sandwiches at home. When we put them on the bulltoppers

1338
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: and put more. You said, the crumble and now I'm hungry.

1339
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's Cannabis Talk one, or when we're gonna

1340
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: do the high five with these guys, Brian and Nick

1341
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: from Buddies. I'm gonna ask you guys the question. Brian

1342
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: will start with you, and then we'll go to Nick.

1343
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: It'll be the same question, maybe different answers. How old

1344
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: are you the first time you smoke cannabis? And where'd

1345
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: you get it? From? Sixteen? And from my pastor's son. Wow,

1346
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:52,320
Speaker 1: you got some holy weeds? Yeah, there you go. What

1347
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 1: was it called Jesus man I act us walks? We

1348
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,200
Speaker 1: were just happy to get weed back then. I'm old,

1349
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: So that's the original Skywalker. Exactly. What about you, Nick?

1350
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: I think you said you were fifteen, right, Yeah, first

1351
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: time I smoked weed? Um, we had like six of

1352
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 1: us packed in a Chevy pickup truck and one of

1353
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: our friends rolled Uh. We grew up smoking Dutch Masters,

1354
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: but the game had just dropped the game blunts, which

1355
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: was like his version of Dutch Masters, And so yeah,

1356
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: one of the homies rolled one of those up and

1357
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: we hot boxed the truck out front of my house.

1358
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: My mom was out of town, and we went in there,

1359
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: and I remember I crushed like a gallon of the

1360
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: like Arnold Palmer stuff, and I don't know what else

1361
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,360

1390
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: now I believe you a little more. At first, I

1391
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: was like, uh, dude, no, are you smoking in the church? Yeah?

1392
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,840

1394
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: I got a pretty close tie one I'm gonna say.

1395
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say too much about. It was in

1396
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: a foreign country that I just don't even want to

1397
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 1: repeat it. But it was definitely just like death penalty

1398
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,760
Speaker 1: there and stuff, So it was like pretty surreal to

1399
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: be doing. I took some flowers me and smoked in Egypt. Yeah, yeah,

1400
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: I don't even want to say I even swore to them.

1401
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 1: I would never say where this was at, but um,

1402
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: but then the other one would definitely be like in

1403
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: the airplane bathroom and I actually had the fucking smoke

1404
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: detector go off while I was in the air no

1405
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: hitting one of these and I'm like oh, and like

1406
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: they're knocking on the door, and um, I kind of

1407
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 1: like brush everything away, and I'm like, what do I do?

1408
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: What I do? And I opened it. I just pretended

1409
01:11:57,120 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: to be panic. I was like, are we okay? Okay?

1410
01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: And that's awesome, by the way. I was about to

1411
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: say what you do? Are you smoking? Are you smoking?

1412
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: And everyone's like looking and I'm like smoking, God, no,

1413
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: Like are we okay? Like I thought the like is

1414
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: the plane going down or something? And and so I

1415
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: just fully flipped the script back on them like full

1416
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: panic and uh ruined you're high. Nothing ended up happened. Yeah, definitely,

1417
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 1: that's funny, thought what's going on around here? Hey, put

1418
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 1: my pants down? Yeah, Chris, welcome to the show Man.

1419
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to capture that one because I've done

1420
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 1: it inside the airplanes many times, smoked my pin at,

1421
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 1: but I've never ever had any smoke alarms go off.

1422
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: I've never you and he carries so much. Last time

1423
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 1: he just ever go to the airport with Joe I

1424
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: had done it many times before I could. I could

1425
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: not believe that that thing went off, wasn't it because

1426
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: it was the bathroom? Maybe yeah, something like Well, I

1427
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 1: think that when I used to do it, they were

1428
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:01,880
Speaker 1: only smoke detectors, and then when all the vape ships

1429
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: started coming out, they like put a new one in there,

1430
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:07,719
Speaker 1: just check the vape and not just smoke or something.

1431
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 1: And I just was behind on on my technology. I

1432
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: went through the security checkpoint one time with mister Grande here,

1433
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: and I've never traveled and not had any cannabis products

1434
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: on me, you know, because I'm a real consumer and

1435
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: so I just couldn't really imagine a day without it.

1436
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: And so I travel heavy with you know, products, and

1437
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: we're going through it whichever we were at. We're at

1438
01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: John Wynter, We're at on Chariot, and uh, this guy's like, oh,

1439
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: check him, and like they're literally pulling out I didn't

1440
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,080
Speaker 1: know though that you had all this stuff. Like I

1441
01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: was joking and he's like, oh, keep keep checking further,

1442
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: give him the full cavity, and he's they're just pulling

1443
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 1: out product after product after product. But when we just

1444
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:49,080
Speaker 1: came back from where we come back from when they

1445
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:50,519

01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: and they just said okay and just put it back

1452
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 1: in my bag. And but yeah, this guy's got me

1453
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: shipping bricks before, and thank god. I mean, and here

1454
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 1: in California, it's not such a big deal. They're not

1455
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: looking for it, you know, it's not on the items

1456
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: of things they're looking for for TSA. So they just

1457
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: put it all back in my bag and let me go.

1458
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: But I was like, Joe, what the fuck? I just

1459
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: was sending you love. I didn't realize you had all

1460
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: that on you. It wasn't like you told me you

1461
01:14:26,840 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 1: had that on you. And then I said it. I

1462
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: didn't know when I said it. So let's just be

1463
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:35,200
Speaker 1: clear on the story. So question number four of the

1464
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 1: High five with the Buddy's Brand, Mister Bryan, what is

1465
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 1: your go to munchies? After you get high, probably chips

1466
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: and salsa. Chips and salsa, make your own, or you

1467
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:51,240
Speaker 1: got a brand that you buy, just whatever's in there. Whatever.

1468
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:54,479

1469
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: cheese on it too, Let's get down. So it's the

1470
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 1: saltiness of the chips that you like. You're like a

1471
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: salty That's the first thing I want. Rob Nice and

1472
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 1: mister Nick, what is your go to munchie after you

1473
01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 1: get high? Shit, mine's hard because I start getting high

1474
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 1: in the morning. So it's pretty much like breakfast everything,

1475
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: everything I'd eat in a daily basis is what I mean.

1476
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 1: When I'm You're not even like, okay, that's real crazy,

1477
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,519
Speaker 1: not really like it happens. So are you even getting

1478
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: high anymore? Yeah? Yeah, I keep I keep different strains,

1479
01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: switching out, keeping my body. If I smoke the same

1480
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 1: thing all day every day, then yeah. But if I'm

1481
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: smoking switching up my ship, then it works better for you.

1482
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,559
Speaker 1: Question number five with the high five with the buddies

1483
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: from Buddies, If you could smoke cannabis with anyone dead

1484
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:51,679
Speaker 1: or alive, who would it be and why mister Bryan

1485
01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:54,280
Speaker 1: it's here you I guess it's me. Probably my grandfather.

1486
01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:57,080
Speaker 1: He passed away a few years ago and I didn't

1487
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 1: get to say goodbye, So it would have been a

1488
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: good way to say goodbye. Did he ever smoke? Nope,

1489
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:05,639
Speaker 1: But but he would have like thinks, I'm sorry he passed.

1490
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: How do you do? How do you pass? Uh? Yeah,

1491
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 1: he just got old, passed away. I was in another

1492
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 1: state and by the time I got back, he'd already passed.

1493
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,799
Speaker 1: But um, I just think it's something he would have enjoyed,

1494
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 1: and it would have been a good way to say goodbye,

1495
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: good old gramps. What about you? He stole mine, dude,

1496
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:27,240
Speaker 1: that's crazy, his grandpa grandpa. But but I was gonna

1497
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 1: say my grandpa, and I thought someone. I thought you

1498
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: were gonna say, like someone famous or like something like that,

1499
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,599
Speaker 1: and I'm like, my grandpa. And then you said that,

1500
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's cool, the same thing because Mike,

1501
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 1: my grandpa's probably like my favorite person ever. And then

1502
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: is he still alive? Yeah, and so you got a

1503
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 1: chance still, Oh well, that's the thing. He's that. So

1504
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: he stole yours, Nick, But you could trump him because

1505
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 1: you can do it. He's that old Southern like, oh yeah,

1506
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: you already smuggled ship for your grandma. So and he's

1507
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: so awesome. So I'm just like, it would be so cool.

1508
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Do you think he would. I don't think he would

1509
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: because of my grandma, But I feel like, yeah, how

1510
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:09,680

1513
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't even I want to propose it somehow. I just

1514
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know how it would go about it. Yeah,

1515
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: my grandma would not be staked. Do you smoke around

1516
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 1: your family at all? No? Not them smoke my my parents.

1517
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 1: I do, Like my mom and my dad they don't. Yeah,

1518
01:17:32,360 --> 01:17:34,880
Speaker 1: I smoke in front of them, but I have not

1519
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: in front of my grandparents. That's so funny, how you know?

1520
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: That's what it? Right? I mean, I get it. I

1521
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: mean when I was smoking like that, there would you

1522
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: know I would? Why I didn't feel comfortable smoking around

1523
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: my mother, you know, I mean my dad, I was like, fuck,

1524
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: he's always smoking about you know what I mean. He

1525
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna say to me whatever, But like same feeling.

1526
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:54,840
Speaker 1: I just would not do that around my mom, Like,

1527
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, my mom never smoked, she didn't drink,

1528
01:17:57,000 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: she didn't do nothing towards like me, Oh, what are

Speaker 1: like I mean, so I was like, I wouldn't do it.

1531
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,240
