Speaker 6: to in the room all day. He's like, I mean

168
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 6: this with with with as a dad, you know, you

169
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 6: don't want to give too much props. He's raw in

170
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 6: basketball and he's a four point zero student, so.

171
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: You singing lost in him? Uh, he's just like his

172
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: pops when it comes to scholastics.

173
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that just got right here,

174
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: Alfonzo aka Tucky Blunt. I was gonna bring it up,

175
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 4: but Cassidy to recognize when somebody gets a four point zero, Hi,

176
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, when you carry that, that

177
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: shows a lot of just charisma of being able to

178
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 4: buckle down. Because I never had a four point zero period.

179
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 4: I think my highest was a three five and I

180
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 4: cheated to get that, you know what I'm saying.

181
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: It wasn't like I deserved it.

182
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: But I mean, does school did school come easy for you?

183
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: Because I mean, how did you pull off a four

184
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 4: point Oh?

185
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 6: I say, for me, school was always easy, and I

186
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 6: get this to my mom. My dad helped me a

187
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 6: lot too, but I'm gonna give this specifically to my mom.

188
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 6: She had me training on like a little it was

189
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 6: like a not cardboard, but a like my construction paper.

190
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: It's thicker to construction paper.

191
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 6: But she made a chart, had the numbers two one hundred,

192
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 6: the months of the year, the days of the year,

193
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: I mean the days of the week or whatever, had

194
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 6: five timetables, ten times tables, just a bunch of different

195
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 6: stuff on it.

196
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 5: And she started teaching that like two years old.

197
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 6: And once I got to school, it was just I

198
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 6: skipped the grade in elementary and school was always like

199
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 6: school to me was how I got out to go

200
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 6: do my freedom. So if I can bring home straight a's,

201
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 6: I can go do whatever I want to do. Because

202
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 6: as long as I'm bringing my good grades home, my

203
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 6: parents wouldn't do what I wanted to do. So it

204
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 6: was like, all right, I can do grades, I can

205
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 6: sell weed, I can work, and all I gotta do

206
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 6: is just go to school and bring you four point ohers.

207
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 5: Oh, I can do that. And it was easy, Like

208
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,359
Speaker 5: I like to learn, so sure.

209
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: So I mean, do you do you think it's it's

210
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: horrible to even think about the silver lining, the blessing

211
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: in disguise. Do you think you'd be an owner of

212
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 3: dispensary today if it had not been for that bust.

213
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't be.

214
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't even I no way know how would

215
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 6: have even.

216
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: I would have never got caught.

217
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 6: I would never qualified as an equity candidate because I

218
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 6: had been selling weed for nine years with no police interaction.

219
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 6: Because of how I sold my weed, I was never

220
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 6: thumb man, but I was um man, you know what

221
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So I would have just kept level and

222
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 6: being cool. I saw most of my weed at places.

223
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: I worked, so right right now, a lot of people

224
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: do that blunts and more. Is your is your dispensary,

225
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: and you also have the pop u Proud Papa's clothing.

226
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that for a minute. Let's let you know.

227
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: I believe you guys do donations, and you know you're

228
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: giving back to the community as well. So I want

229
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: to hear a little bit about that.

230
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 6: Okay. So Proud Pappas was something I started in twenty thirteen,

231
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 6: sitting at my desk Alameda County. I just I woke

232
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 6: up one day and was like, man, I would love

233
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 6: to see a shirt with a silhouette of a black

234
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 6: father with some kids. So I googled black father silhouettes.

235
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 6: Everything you could tell was a white person, no offense

236
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 6: or whatever. But I was like, what can I do

237
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 6: about that? Created Proud Papas, made a silhouette, did a movement,

238
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 6: help fathers fill out paperwork, and there's different things they

239
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 6: need to do. Been going on for a while. Kind

240
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 6: of had to put it on the back burner because

241
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: of blunts and more with it being a dispensary and

242
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 6: would be trying to get the message that people like

243
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 6: us can own a successful space and franchise. That's kind

244
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 6: of like taking a little more of importance as of

245
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 6: right now.

246
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: As far as.

247
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 6: Giving back, we just put on a big event, caught

248
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 6: the I got five on the United Rebuild or we

249
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 6: raised money for other dispensaries that were burglarized doing all

250
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 6: the uprising behind George Floyd Martter, and we ended up

251
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 6: giving back upwards around twenty twenty five thousand to four,

252
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 6: four or five different dispensaries within the Bay Area.

253
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this, I'm really go ahead, no, no,

254
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: go on, you can finish. So sorry about that.

255
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, I'm just real big on.

256
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: Helping the community, giving back.

257
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 5: And the way that I grew up in Oakland, the

258
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 5: community I grew up.

259
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 6: I'm forty, so I grew up in the era of

260
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 6: us helping each other, us working together, and us using

261
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 6: violence as a teachable moment instead of a reason to

262
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 6: be more violent.

263
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, going back that far into the cannabis community,

264
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean it's I mean, people did business a certain

265
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 3: way back then in that market, and if you've been

266
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: in it that long and you you know, you were

267
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: straight up you were going to have a pretty long,

268
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: long career in it and business in it, and hopefully

269
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 3: that rolls over into today's market where you get a

270
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: lot of people outside the cannabis community as we know

271
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 3: it in California coming in, putting in seven eight million

272
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: dollars and losing their asks because they don't know what

273
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 3: they're doing. How how much of a road was it?

274
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: Because I deal with social equity applicants, I represent several

275
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 3: of them here in Los Angeles, and it's been a.

276
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 5: Good cluster offline.

277
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 3: We should talk absolutely, I'm knee deep in it here

278
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: and I represent the actual seas themselves against the big

279
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 3: corporations trying to fuck them predatory practices. And I'm sure

280
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 3: you're aware of what's going on in LA. It's what

281
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: a mess it's been. How How long was the was

282
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 3: the road from when you started the process to when

283
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: you opened up in November of eighteen?

284
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: Okay, so for us we have a like a spiritual

285
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 5: life store.

286
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 6: How everything happened, It wouldn't have happened this way, but

287
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 6: it happened. We got our license, won a lottery in

288
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 6: January of what year? January January of seventeen. Yeah, so

289
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 6: January seventeen, you win the license. You have to then

290
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 6: find property money, all of that because you gave a

291
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 6: poor person a license and a billion dollar industry and

292
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 6: no information on what to do. So I actually no,

293
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 6: it was eighteen. It was eighteen. It was eighteen January

294
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 6: of eighteen. So yeah, we got this license. I had

295
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 6: a bunch of people come in and try to offer

296
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 6: me deals. I had to have a heart try to

297
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 6: buy me out, just you know, different than usual suspects,

298
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 6: and I was like, no, I knew my work. Which

299
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 6: will get to I'm sure we'll get to the point

300
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,439
Speaker 6: about the equity program in the pros and cons.

301
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 5: One of them is knowing your work and you know,

302
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 5: having an education on your work. But we did that.

303
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 6: We had a bunch of people try to give us

304
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 6: properties that had leans on them.

305
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 5: It was just crazy.

306
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 6: There was a property we had looked at in Oakland

307
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 6: that I knew was a value because it was directly

308
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 6: across the street from the Oakland Coliseum and it was

309
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 6: a growth operation from a company called Grizzly Peak and

310
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 6: they had retail space. They applied for a license for

311
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 6: the retail but they got it. They applied for a

312
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 6: general license, didn't get it, but they still have the space.

313
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 6: So it was like, well, hey, how can we work

314
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 6: out the deal so we can get the space, y'all

315
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 6: can grow, y'all weed and we can be a happy marriage.

316
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 6: We worked on that from March until we opened November eighteen.

317
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 6: They gave a startup capital in the loan and to

318
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 6: get any equity in the store, no ownership or anything.

319
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 6: We strategically increased certain other things that we'll pay them for,

320
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 6: like with them being the landlord. Sure can't like say everything,

321
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 6: but we increased ways to pay them that way, and

322
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 6: then also made agreements to buy product from them and

323
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 6: allowed them to be our management team as far as

324
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 6: hiring and firing. But there were stipulations in that if

325
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: they didn't do a B and C, buy D C,

326
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 6: D E and F, we can cut that part out,

327
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 6: and stuff happening. We end up cutting that part out,

328
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 6: so we're not even tied that way anymore. It's just

329
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 6: straight landlord tenant and then pay back our loan. But

330
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 6: normal general equity applicants aren't going to have that business

331
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 6: savvy to have that conversation to negotiate that deal.

332
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

333
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 6: We were like in a spiritual circumstance because I'm smart,

334
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 6: have businesses know how to talk. Bring me was smart,

335
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 6: come from the cannabis background. We were able to come

336
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 6: in that room and be black, and y'all not know

337
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 6: we black, you know what I'm saying. Whereas other people

338
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 6: who have a poor person licened the billond out industry

339
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 6: that's never made more than you know, thirty thousand dollars

340
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 6: in their.

341
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 5: Life, they're going to sign it away for whatever they

342
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 5: can get.

343
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 2: And it fus the hard part.

344
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, why do you ever have a hard couple that

345
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: pockets actually a lot of my clients, unfortunately, seem to

346
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: fall into that other category where they're not educated, you know,

347
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 3: don't have the business savvy. And I mean I was

348
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: telling people to turn down shit left and right, and

349
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: it was hard for me because some people were getting screwed,

350
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: but they were getting on for ten to fifteen grand

351
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: a month, you know, and it was hard for me

352
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 3: to tell them, don't do it. But I told them,

353
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 3: don't do it. One did. Anyways, They're gonna do what

354
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: they gotta do. But there was just so much predatory practice.

355
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: And before we go to break real quick for the listeners,

356
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 3: social equity status. Various cities in the state of California

357
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: have programmed to give preferential treatment to people who've been

358
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: either convicted, have a low income, or we're from a

359
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 3: disproportionally impacted area zip codes on the War on crime,

360
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: and so they've come up with ways to try to

361
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: help help that group of people, which they call social

362
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: equity applicants into the cannabis space. And it's just been

363
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: a mixed bag all over the state where they have it.

364
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 3: It's been so your story so far is like if

365
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 3: someone were to come in to ask me, what's the

366
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: absolute best case scenario that probably never will happen. I

367
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 3: think is your case.

368
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: You should call off fons over that's your case. So

369
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: we got to figure that out. Are you completely happy

370
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: with your partners? And then my other question would be

371
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 2: are your partners you know.

372
00:16:58,640 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like he has them.

373
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: Also, oh, you don't have any partners anyways? What other

374
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: partner Britney?

375
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 6: Well that's more more is my partner Britney Moore, So

376
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 6: it's blunt me and then Brittney Moore is more so.

377
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 5: The other people.

378
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 6: Weren't never they were never partners. There were landlords and

379
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 6: business partners. As far as like a transaction for a loan, yeah,

380
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: I was in some had to make sure that was

381
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 6: key because as soon as they thing to have ownership.

382
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: But no, it's me and Brie on the store.

383
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: I mean unfortunately here in LA they allow if you're

384
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 3: a Tier one, which is the highest tier you can be,

385
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 3: you have to have fifty one percent the Social Act

386
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 3: with they applicants that have fifty one percent and control

387
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: and every operating agreement, every deal I saw for money

388
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: coming in was how ten ten different ways, how can

389
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 3: we get around that? And it was just it's horrible,

390
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 3: and I think it's still going on, and some people

391
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 3: don't buying into it, and others are. They're hanging tough,

392
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: and when they come to me, I'm a deal breaker

393
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, I'm looking out for

394
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 3: your rights and how.

395
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 5: They're trying to screw you down the road.

396
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 3: And half these agreements wouldn't even get through the Department

397
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: of Cannabis Control. You're in la if if they actually

398
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 3: read them, which I don't know if they're going to

399
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: go through all these operating agreements out backdoor. They really

400
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 3: don't own fifty one percent, they really don't control.

401
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: And it's it's as much.

402
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: You're seeing their situation. I have to get the problems.

403
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: And some people don't mind. They're like, give me twenty

404
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: grand a month, do what you want. I mean, yeah,

405
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: and for them that might not be a bad deal

406
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: for some people.

407
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 3: But it's just it's just not right.

408
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: When you're well, we're getting there in that twenty grand.

409
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: They'll come in, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll talk about that

410
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: when we come back. We'll be right back.

411
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 5: That's great.

412
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one. We are

413
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: with two Cookie blunt, tucky blunts, tucky blunts like Akac.

414
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: You are on a financial from blunts and more out

415
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: of Oakland. And he is a social equity applicant that

416
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 2: has successfully got his first story is a world a man,

417
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: the very first ever in the world man and that's

418
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: crazy great to think about all the people that you do.

419
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: This guy's the first one day.

420
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 3: That was an eighteen I mean that was progressive for

421
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 3: Oakland back then.

422
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: To just do this, that was very progressive.

423
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: LA has been just dragging on for two years.

424
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 2: People have been holding on the property.

425
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, they just allowed people to switch to move properties

426
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 3: before you were locked in the minute you put in

427
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 3: your application, so.

428
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: You had to hold your properties for two fucking years.

429
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 3: Now at least people could let those properties. And they're

430
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 3: allowing a notice of aggressing. But for have that status

431
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: back in eighteen, I mean, my hat's off to you

432
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: and that that's that congratulations or in order.

433
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 5: Though it's two years later. Definitely it's a lot. But

434
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 5: the program.

435
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 6: Itself, I say this and anytime I get a chance

436
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 6: to program itself was a great concept, great ideas doing

437
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 6: great things. But it's just like anything, it means oversight

438
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 6: it definitely means education, and it definitely means funding. When

439
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 6: I say education, I don't mean in a book. I

440
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 6: mean education as like I said, teaches people about predatory

441
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 6: lending practices. You have In Oakland, we have a thing

442
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 6: called a technical assistance program. They're supposed to help people

443
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 6: like us, but they're getting paid and not doing anything.

444
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 6: They're asking me to come train people. How you getting

445
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 6: paid by the state.

446
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: But you want me to come in for free to

447
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 5: train people. No, I need some money too so we

448
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 5: can get people part of.

449
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 6: The You can't have people making decisions in the space

450
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 6: that's not in the space period Dodgers.

451
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 3: Well yeah, period, But yet we had but we have

452
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 3: so many that we have the entire government, fucking government

453
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 3: making our rules who have never been in this, never

454
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 3: even smoke a joint.

455
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: And that, and nor do they even hire people that

456
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 2: are in that.

457
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: I mean, just like here, they're supposed to have that

458
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 3: technical assistance and it just you know, I think some

459
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 3: of the cities, I mean, it sounds good. They may

460
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 3: have good intentions. I don't know a lot of it's politics.

461
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 5: You know.

462
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 3: If you look at LA there was a bunch of

463
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: shit going on. We actually broke a story with one

464
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 3: of my applicants who caught a an aid talking about

465
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: people getting in early. I know if you saw ever

466
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: saw you that. That was actually my Klein who came

467
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: to me saying, Craig went to talk to this guy

468
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: and my husband happened to be take and he was

469
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 3: talking about the Russian Armenian Armenia mob.

470
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: Getting this crazy. Everybody got in.

471
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: Thirty minutes early to the portal and just all kinds

472
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 3: of crap, and it really, unfortunately, it didn't make a

473
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 3: fucking bit of difference.

474
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: Now, what are those pros and cons as you kind

475
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 4: of mentioned earlier that you see for social equity? As

476
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: you're the first ever to go there, and I'm sure

477
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: a million cats from the town to New York have

478
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: come up to you, has said, Tucky Blunt, help me off, Honzo.

479
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: What do I need to do?

480
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 4: So break down for the listener that's out there that's

481
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: going damn, I got a record, people are approaching me

482
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 4: or I want to get in the game, lace us up.

483
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 6: Okay, So give me a minute, because this is like

484
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 6: a couple parted answer one. As far as everybody can reform,

485
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 6: everybody get out of jail. For cannabis has to happen.

486
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 6: They got to get out. But that also comes with

487
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 6: us voting in the right elections and not just in

488
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 6: the ones we think we pose a voting You gotta

489
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 6: vote for your city councilors, and people have to understand that.

490
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 6: The bottom hop so true all people, black, white, pink, whatever,

491
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 6: we all have to do that for whoever we vote

492
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 6: is by time it gets to the presidential too late,

493
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 6: even though you still got to vote, but by then

494
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 6: the decisions already made. You know what I'm saying, kind

495
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: of like whatever, So that's part of it too. If

496
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 6: you want to get in this space, really want to

497
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 6: be in this space, what I mean by that is, yeah,

498
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 6: free everybody that's been locked up for it. But do

499
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 6: I want everybody that's locked up for it to come

500
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 6: into the space and they're really not going to approach

501
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 6: this like a business, then fuck it up, get closed,

502
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 6: lose money, going debt, and then that's gonna be what

503
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 6: the rest of the community talks about. Oh look at

504
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 6: that black person in the cannabis space. We told you

505
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 6: this was going to happen. So if you are going

506
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 6: to get into space, go to your Lkstra dams, get

507
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 6: your learning, get your certificates, you know, reach out and

508
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 6: get training on the field you want to be in.

509
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 6: But also don't come in here thinking everyone's going to

510
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: open a dispensary and everyone's going to grow weak. What

511
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 6: are two of the hardest things to do in the

512
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 6: cannabis space anywhere, whether it's legal or illegal. It's grow

513
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 6: we and sale weed. So if you think that you

514
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 6: could just get into that, don't. Don't come in and

515
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 6: expecting to get into that. No, I'd not like to

516
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 6: kill anyone's dreams, but you have to be real. Like

517
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 6: everyone wants to go and sell. That's the main question

518
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 6: I get, Like can we grow and sell? No, everyone

519
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 6: can't grow and sell. Learn how to make the likes

520
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 6: that go into dispensaries, I mean, learn how to do security,

521
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 6: learn how to do the deliveries. It's learn how to

522
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 6: do host podcast about weed, Like there's other stuff that

523
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 6: you can do. So my main thought when I tell

524
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 6: people they want to get in it is make sure

525
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 6: they really want to get in it through the train

526
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 6: and the text to be in it, and then then

527
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 6: we see what happens.

528
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

529
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 6: But you got a lot of people just gonna get

530
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 6: out and jump in the game. I believe that's gonna

531
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 6: fuck us up. Yeah, it's gonna have a negative effect.

532
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, we see that all the time. And it's funny

533
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 3: you say about dream killing. That's what we called ourselves

534
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: in eighteen when the REGs came into play and people

535
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: would come in for a console about getting into the

536
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: business and they were getting out of the illicit market

537
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: at that point, or even the legal cooperative market back then,

538
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: and we'd say, look, it's it's a lot different. You know,

539
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 3: eyes wide open. It's just not going to be what

540
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 3: you think it is. You can't just come in and

541
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: for you know, twenty grand open up a store. You know,

542
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: you got to have a half a million dollars. You

543
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: got to have the business sense, you got to have

544
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 3: a team, you got to have the CPA, you got

545
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 3: to have the right law, you got to have the

546
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: right compliance team. It's just not as easy as you think.

547
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: And uh and we've probably turned away, not turned away,

548
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: probably made more people run away than we've taken in

549
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: as opposed to you know, talking lots of fluff and

550
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 3: just you know, retaining anybody want to pay.

551
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 5: Guess what, and not sut you off.

552
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 6: But guess what, that's a good thing because they weren't

553
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 6: ready to be in the business.

554
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 5: That's all.

555
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: All the stuff you named off are things that you're

556
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 6: going to need to run a successful business.

557
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 5: So if that runs you off, then you don't need

558
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 5: to be in this business. It's okay with them. I

559
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 5: agree people, okay, you.

560
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: Know, I mean I agree, And that we never we

561
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: never harsh reality, We never waivered from that even though

562
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 3: people were will there were other attorneys taking money from

563
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: people who wanted to get in it without giving them

564
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: that eyes wide open talk. And we just you know,

565
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 3: there's not something we wanted to do because I didn't

566
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 3: want to get into you know, ten twenty thirty grand

567
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: into it and all of a sudden, this isn't gonna happen.

568
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: That's not how we you know, how we did things.

569
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 6: So uh.

570
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 3: And then as far as the social equity applicants, all

571
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 3: of them we've done I wouldn't say pro bono, it's

572
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: one of the we we've done those things where it's

573
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: if you get successful on this deal, you know, take

574
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 3: care of us down the road. But until then, we're

575
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 3: gonna give you the support and backing and we have

576
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 3: about six or seven people that we chose to work

577
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 3: with that otherwise they wouldn't have any type of access

578
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: to legal support or and especially going through the operating

579
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 3: agreements and all those corporate documents that all these people

580
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 3: were thrown at these guys and they had no clue.

581
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think there's that is garbage.

582
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 6: Most of it, like I have contracts, we have, like

583
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 6: you know, most of that shit is a bunch of bullshit.

584
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: It's like, okay, just like put it in a one

585
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 5: give me a one pager.

586
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: That's us this.

587
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 6: But you know, that's another way to throw people off

588
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 6: if you're not willing to read that.

589
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 5: Oh you may not be willing to do it.

590
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 6: Fifty fucking pa sign deals that you don't realize have

591
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 6: you xed out by page three?

592
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. So that's that's the education piece,

593
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying.

594
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 6: Like you, you would think it'd be a logical thing

595
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 6: to do, but again, we are dealing with a industry

596
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 6: that is being ran by people not in the industry.

597
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're they're using they're using LLC membership transfer agreements

598
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 3: that are thirty forty fifty pages long with crap in

599
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 3: there that someone else wrote twenty thirty years ago, and

600
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 3: they're using the same goddamn document over and over and

601
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 3: over and over. I mean, when you come to us,

602
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 3: we'll give you a one or two page document. Man,

603
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 3: you take that to them and say, if you don't

604
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 3: like it, go somewhere else. It depends what side of

605
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: the coin you're on, what kind of bar you said

606
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: they've done, and who's represent people. How hard was that

607
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: too for you, Tucky Blunt?

608
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 4: As we're talking to Tucky Blunt from Blunts and More

609
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 4: Dispensary in Oakley, how hard was that dealing with the

610
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 4: do you need legal representation? When you're such a smart

611
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 4: cat yourself, you're looking at this going, man, I can

612
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: figure this shit out myself. Did you still need to

613
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 4: search for legal counsel?

614
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 5: Well, for us another cold situation.

615
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 6: Part of our team is a legal cannabis council in Florida,

616
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 6: and Ritney's mom was a cannabis pair of alegal, so

617
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 6: we had legal attached to us from the jump, which

618
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 6: worked out.

619
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: I always had questions, you know, I mean, I don't

620
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 5: know legal jargons, so I.

621
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 6: Would be looking at words pulling them out the dictionary

622
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 6: seeing what they meant to bind them to the page

623
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 6: and then if I had a questions, I had in

624
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 6: house legal. But that's something that I feel the city

625
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 6: should provide, and the city the Technical Assistant program is

626
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 6: ran by attorneys. They're not cannabis attorneys.

627
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: It's just like, you know, I think what happens is

628
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: is right now with the social equity, you know, because

629
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: I spoke to a lot of them myself and they

630
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: were asking for advice and help, and you know, I

631
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 2: sat there and some of them had these visions that

632
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 2: were unobtainable. So you know, on one side, I'm like,

633
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 2: you know, you can't expect someone to drop, you know,

634
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: ten million dollars on you and then let you run

635
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: the whole ten million dollars right without any say so,

636
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: because that's kind of what it comes to. And it's like,

637
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: you know, so that's a scary proposition for an investor,

638
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 2: you know.

639
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I get both sides, but it doesn't mean

640
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 3: it have to be predatory.

641
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: I mean, the rules are no, no, and I agree

642
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 2: with not being predatory, but but but there should have

643
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 2: been you know, doing it the proper way would have said, hey,

644
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 2: if you're going to spend more than thirty percent of

645
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: you know, this amount of this million dollars. We need

646
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: to be you know, completely involved in in those decisions.

647
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 2: And then if he goes above that, then it goes

648
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: to this next level like a tiered system. There he is, Yeah,

649
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 2: got the baller.

650
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 5: Hold on y'all. Okay, okay, sorry y'all.

651
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: No time.

652
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: We all working from home, right yea.

653
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 6: So it's it's just it's it's it's a trip. You

654
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 6: say that about just you know how everything is, but

655
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,959
Speaker 6: it's like, man, it's just it's just I don't know,

656
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 6: like I can I describe how we had to deal

657
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,479
Speaker 6: with the legal stuff. It was just more so just

658
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 6: like if you got people that you can give some

659
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 6: knowledge to and just have them understand what they're going

660
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 6: into and know they work and know their value, that's

661
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 6: just a start, you know what I'm saying. That's that's

662
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 6: that's bare minimals. So they can be like, okay, cool.

663
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 6: You got some people that just are gonna sign a

664
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 6: way just they don't care. They're not paying attention. It's

665
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 6: money dangled in front of them, is cool. And these

666
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 6: business you know, these sharks know that they they know

667
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 6: that they're going to find the ones that don't care.

668
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 6: But what is wrong with you owning forty nine percent

669
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 6: and still being able to make decisions like I don't.

670
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 6: I don't understand what is the whole majority thing with

671
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 6: the big companies. You know that this e person to

672
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 6: help get your license up and you can talk them

673
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 6: into having your name on the store and still letting

674
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 6: you have some form of the control. Most of these

675
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 6: people with the fifty percent don't want to control and

676
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 6: don't want to be at the store. I like to

677
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 6: be at my store and talk to my customers and

678
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 6: do all the stuff and learn everything about the business.

679
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 6: Sean from Burner's own hate and Frisco. He wants to

680
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 6: be he's the general manager. He like, he wants to

681
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 6: be that person. Some of them don't. There's nothing wrong

682
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 6: with you still have your majority and then still doing

683
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 6: all the ship like if these other if these bigger

684
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 6: companies can understand that. But again we're dealing with people

685
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 6: that they'll understand hustle. They don't understand the whig game.

686
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 6: They don't understand none of that ship, you know what

687
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So they don't they're not thinking that for them,

688
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 6: two percent is not gonna change anything, because at the

689
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 6: end of the day, you can write within the contract,

690
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 6: if you start doing stupid shit, we're gonna say stop doing.

691
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 5: Stupid shit three times, and then after that we take over.

692
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 6: You can put ways in there to do what you

693
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: gotta do, and then the person on the other end

694
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 6: can throw.

695
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 5: There, well, you go ahead in LA.

696
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 3: They can't relinquish their ownership to the to the non

697
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: social equity partner. I mean they've the way they've made

698
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: the rules, it makes it really tough on a you know,

699
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: company that wants to coming in to invest on and

700
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: uh it just like like you've been saying, though the

701
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 3: people who made up all these rules, it sounds good,

702
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: the social equity statud the helping people out, but they're not.

703
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: They're not They're not doing it in a way that's

704
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 3: really practical and how people are gonna come out. And

705
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: I think I really like your angle too as far

706
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 3: as if you're gonna have these programs, I mean, make

707
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 3: sure that it's really set up so a black person,

708
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: person of color can be successful, so you don't get

709
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 3: that negative stigma if something goes down. Like you were

710
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: saying earlier that you just don't want, you know, you

711
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: don't want failures because it wasn't done properly. And then

712
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: you're going, look, we told you waste the money, blah

713
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: blah blah, whatever you said earlier. And I think that's

714
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 3: really important. But the legislators, and I like what you

715
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: said too about voting from the city council up, because

716
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: the city council actually is the most the biggest, that's.

717
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 5: One of the most vital pieces of the government. Like

718
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 5: I remember going to school hearing.

719
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 6: About checks and balancing a non legislator from the official brands, Like,

720
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 6: you have to start at the local level to help

721
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 6: craft the rest of the tree. But I don't I

722
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 6: don't know if this is something that's totally off subject,

723
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 6: but I think it's something.

724
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 5: That's going on nationwide world. They're not teaching our kids.

725
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: It's just ignorant.

726
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, because it's in cannabis, especially, you can't

727
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 3: want to vote, especially especially in California. The uh, everything

728
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 3: starts at the city level, right if the city council

729
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 3: has to has to pass an ordinance allowing for cannabis

730
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 3: in that city, or the people of the city have

731
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: to pass an initiative, and so.

732
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 2: It's the governor or something. So we got to make

733
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: sure we vote for the governor.

734
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: No, no, no, yeah, you got to go in and find

735
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 3: who city council people are. Are they behind they cannabis?

736
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 3: And we got to get the people out there and vote.

737
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: We gotta.

738
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: We got to what we called smoke the vote. People

739

00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: They should be blasted out voting. Go vote for cannabis

745
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: are coming out in favor of legalizing cannabis in their

746
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 3: campaign information not hidden in the back, not you know,

747
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,320

00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe you are Grape Street. I don't know,

780
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: but you know what I'm saying. I mean, how do

781
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: you deal with that.

782
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 6: I'm from the deep, I'm from the DPT, so I'm

783
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: from Adieth. But how just how I'm moving the game

784
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 6: for me was from my daddy. My daddy never fucked

785
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 6: with me in the game, never saw we with me

786
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 6: until we got grown, grown, we don't fuck it. He

787
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 6: never did that. He taught me how to detail cars.

788
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 6: I'm in detailing cars for thirty years. But how he

789
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 6: sold his weed. I noticed he never went to jail.

790
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 6: How he did that was it was a transaction. It

791
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 6: was I'm gonna pull up, I'm gonna come in, We're

792
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 6: gonna do this transaction. I'm gonna smoke some of the

793
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 6: weed I just sold you, and then I'm gonna go home.

794
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 6: So I'm like, well, damn, if I want to sell weed,

795
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 6: that's how I'm gonna have to do it.

796
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 5: And then once I started working.

797
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 6: And realize all of my associates that I worked with smoke,

798
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 6: it was just like, I don't need to go to

799
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 6: the corner.

800
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 5: Going to the corner is how you get caught up.

801
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 6: The reason why I got caught up that day and

802
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 6: how I was out, I was on the turf for

803
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 6: about a seven month period in between my son being born.

804
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 6: I was in between jobs, so I was like, let

805
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 6: me go to the turf. Had I never made that

806
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 6: move to go to the turf. I wasn't talking to

807
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 6: y'all now because I never got caught. Like I always

808
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 6: feel like, if I want to sell we that has

809
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 6: a business to go is to not get caught standing

810
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 6: on somebody's corner.

811
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 5: It's how you get caught. You're an advertising yourself.

812
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 6: You're basically saying I'm selling this. Probably gets you know

813
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,960

880
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,080

881
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 6: I can market without spending a.

882
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,919

Speaker 2: Or we're not.

885
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 6: So I tried to think of ways to market without

886
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 6: spending money.

887
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,160

Speaker 5: a plane to go meet somebody to go interview.

889
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,200

Speaker 6: like an off brand moscatto. I've been blowing good since

Speaker 6: Just gotta go off from VIHO. I stay ready to spind.

941

00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 5: And I'll leave you all with that.

946
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: Very nice that some fire right there.

947
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: Before we get to the high five, I want to

948
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 4: get your thoughts on black ownership in cannabis.

949
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that? Overall?

950
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 5: It's vital, it's necessary.

951
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 6: It's a lot of us out there, and so we

952
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,839
Speaker 6: all have to get a network together and link up

953
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 6: with each other so we know who we are and

954
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:09,800
Speaker 6: where we are.

955
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 5: Within the space. But it's vital.

956
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 6: No disrespect to any other race, but Negroes are the

957
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 6: cannabis space. We set the trends, we set the prices.

958
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 6: We everybody want to wear the weed stuff or do

959
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:22,479
Speaker 6: the weed. We got our white you know, our white

960
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 6: friends that do our do they thing, you know, but

961
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 6: black people run the space, and we're not representing the

962
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 6: space well at all. And we're out here, but we

963
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 6: just got to, you know, it's a bottle that we

964
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 6: speak up and you know, be willing to show that

965
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 6: we are successful and can be successful in the space

966
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 6: in a space that we should run, but they don't

967
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 6: want us to.

968
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 4: I feel like it's even more minorities, said, I really

969
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 4: look at a lot of the farmers if you look

970
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: back in the day too, you know, even watching some

971
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 4: of the old kirk Tail stuff when it went from growing.

972
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 2: And ironically you ready finish off.

973
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 4: Fajo grew up the same way as you Blue got

974
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 4: in the game because his dad was growing and selling

975
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 4: as well. So everything you were describing, but it was

976
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 4: just sitting there going and we've very story, very very.

977
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 2: Weed.

978
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 4: So we just the same concept. But my point is

979
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,239
Speaker 4: you look at the Latins. You know, they used to

980
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 4: they were growing it out in Mexico. They're growing here,

981
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 4: big old bricks of it. And then you know, of

982
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 4: course the African American community is heavy into it.

983
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 2: Too, but it's a more minority base.

984
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 6: And I do be having to correct myself on that sometimes.

985
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 6: I'm not saying everything should be black. It should be

986
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 6: black and brown. Like I said, I have had to

987
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 6: correct myself on that because we are. But the people

988
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 6: who you see as the space aren't either black or brown.

989
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 5: And that's a problem.

990
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: No, I think it's you said it right, though, because

991
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: you know, the question was towards you know, black minority

992
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: owned businesses, and so you're referring to your culture, you know.

993
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 2: And and I have to agree with you though as

994
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: my my father, you know, was was very similar to yours.

995
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 2: Like he went to work every day. He was a

996
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: postal service, he was in the Union, you know, a military,

997
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: you know, navy, you know. So he but he always

998
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 2: said I'm gonna work and and then on top of that,

999
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: make it my side hustle. It wasn't just my hustle,

1000
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 2: you know. And I think that's the separation between some

1001
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: of us that understand more of the business side of

1002
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 2: it versus just the street side of it. And a

1003
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: lot of people that are that are in our communities

1004
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: they only know the street side of it or they

1005
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 2: kind of know this other side of it, whereas someone

1006
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: like ourselves, we were kind of brought up with, hey,

1007
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: it's still gotta work, you still got to hustle. And

1008
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 2: now that it becomes work, now it is the work

1009
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 2: and the hustle, and so it's a little more you know,

1010
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,319
Speaker 2: easier for us to get into the industry and less

1011
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 2: money to make because and less money to make. Yeah,

1012
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this is.

1013
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 6: Why stuff like this is important, just talking in the

1014
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,240
Speaker 6: podcasting and interviewing and getting the word out because people

1015
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,959
Speaker 6: can't see that there are people that look like them,

1016
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 6: talk like them, dress like them, and act like I

1017
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 6: got suits and ties and all that and can do

1018
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 6: all that.

1019
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 5: I got the for doors.

1020
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 6: I used to sell weed in a for door with

1021
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 6: shoes that made noise at the bottom, Like I used

1022
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 6: to go to the turf dressed like I was going

1023
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 6: to a goddamn club. So you can talk to me

1024
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 6: like people need to see people like them and be like,

1025
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 6: damn well, if he can do it, I can do it.

1026
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like that's what That's what needs to be shown.

1027
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 6: It's not just the corporate, you know, white person that's

1028
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 6: doing a successful cannabis space. You got the Al Harrington's,

1029
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, You got the Hope wise Man's,

1030
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 6: you got the knees, you know what I mean.

1031
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 5: So it's like you can do it. It's just heart.

1032
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 3: The funny thing is most of those corporate white guys

1033
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 3: who are coming in aren't lasting very long.

1034
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: Well, they're spending going crazy. Craig.

1035
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 4: I've been telling you Medman spending way too much money,

1036
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 4: and they're doing way too much.

1037
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,280
Speaker 2: You don't want to listen.

1038
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 6: To me, I think, And you know, there's not nothing

1039
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 6: against them, because I wish everybody. I wish everybody's Susan

1040
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 6: money for everybody. But High Time trying to buy out

1041
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 6: all these clubs.

1042
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 3: Why, Like, I don't think it's going to happen.

1043
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 4: Didn't go They've been trying to buy all those sixteen farms,

1044
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 4: seventeen dispensaries and this and that.

1045
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 2: It's just like, geez, what do you got.

1046
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 3: I just read something today. I didn't read the whole article,

1047
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 3: but I did something. I did read something about High Times.

1048
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 3: I think up in Oakland, maybe a few of the

1049
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 3: stores they were going to buy is in trouble now

1050
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 3: because of their corporate structure and their ownership changes. And

1051
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 3: I don't know. I haven't dealt with Oakland's regulations yet.

1052
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 3: We don't have a client in that area as far

1053
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 3: as storefronts go, so I don't know what they read into.

1054
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 3: But the whole thing's on paper stock options, which who

1055
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 3: knows what they're even going to be whatever.

1056
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,799
Speaker 5: And basically.

1057
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 6: They had bs paperworking practices, and like you said, the

1058
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 6: ownership changes, and the thing is the equity program. We

1059
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 6: are currently there's supposed to be four equity dispensaries open before.

1060
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 6: They just did the most recent drawing. We're the only

1061
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 6: one open. Wow, So did the other one sall their licenses?

1062
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 5: Did they?

1063
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 6: Are they trying to get places and have the happy

1064
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 6: Yet we're talk about we've been open two years, We've

1065
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 6: had the license since the beginning of eighteen. How are

1066
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 6: no none of the other ones open? So they run

1067
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 6: into that because one of the Green series ever trying

1068
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,800
Speaker 6: to buy was one of the ones where an equity

1069
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 6: owner gave or whatever his license or whatever they had

1070
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 6: going on to have a heart. But I don't know

1071
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 6: if it's open yet one and then two does that

1072
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 6: make it still a social equities.

1073
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 3: Right because or is it against the rules? Because in

1074
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 3: LA they're trying to do all kinds of shit sideways

1075
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 3: with these corporations. But at the end of the day,

1076
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 3: when they come into my office and I look at

1077
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 3: the regulations, goes, you can't do that. I don't care

1078
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: what your lawyer says or the other lawyer thinks he

1079
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,280
Speaker 3: can do work around you want to have a second

1080
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 3: set of documents really like not I don't want.

1081
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 6: To work around like, dude, put it in black and white.

1082
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 6: Let's sign this can't do that. Three to five is

1083
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 6: the term, and let's go get money. But you got

1084
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 6: to have education and be able to have them conversation.

1085
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely what we.

1086
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: Were with tucky blunts from Blunts and more Oakland, California,
