So it's just 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: amazing how you're just a quad facta of the you know, 45 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: business space, let alone cannabis because I say the quad 46 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: with the skateboard in there. There's nothing like growing up 47 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: smoking someweed and growing on the skateboards. Are you probably 48 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: skateboarded before you even smoked weed, as most kids probably did. 49 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: But I want to go back to early Craig days. 50 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: Uh did? First off, did you grow up in the 51 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: Humblet County area? Now? I grew up just a little 52 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: bit north of Atlanta. And then right when I turned eighteen, 53 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: I came out to California because of skateboarding. And then 54 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: uh so I came to San Francisco and then quickly 55 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: learned about Humboldt and I was like, well skateboarding and 56 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: we sign there and so match made in exactly. So 57 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: you gotta go to Humble. What's the first company that 58 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: you opened up? As you have a grow, you have 59 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,119 Speaker 1: a dispensary, you have a distribution, walk us through that. Yeah, 60 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: the first company was a Statory Movement, which is still around, 61 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: but that was our skateboard wheel brand that we started. 62 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: But we also started making hemp clothing when we started 63 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: that company in so I started making hemp clothing at 64 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: that time, late late and uh just brought that from 65 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: the East coast, actually started in Athens, Georgia, and brought 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: that up to Humble where we were able to tap 67 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: into the you know, it was mostly indoor home residential 68 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: grows back then, but also there was really good opportunity 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: with economic development being such a small area, so I 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: was able to get a loan. I was like twenty 71 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: one years old at the time, so I was able 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: to get a loan through the economic development and growing 73 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: a little too to four lighter and stepping that up 74 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: over those years. But um, it all started kind of 75 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: with the skateboarding and the hemp clothing. Craig, did you 76 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: pay the loan back? I did checking for another loan 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: with the same agency last week, So you were you 78 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: were a young kid when you were getting into all 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 1: these business ventures. I can only imagine that there was 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: a lot of legal procedures and legal matters that you 81 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: needed to tackle. How did you handle that with getting attorneys? 82 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: How many attorneys did you go through? Well, honestly, I 83 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: went and bought a no Low book on forming a 84 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: I mean actually did that that first company. Actually I 85 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: actually had the time and I was young and read 86 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: and uh form that corporation. Had run through a few attorneys, 87 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: but I pretty much did it all on my own 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: back then. I have a lot more attorneys now these days, 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: I bet, I bet you do. Well? You have you now? 90 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: Were you ever concerned with the criminal side or the 91 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: crimes federally that you were actually were committing committing? It's true. 92 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: I mean there's you know, the Feds are out there, 93 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: the Feds just what are they? Just? Uh? The lawsuit 94 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: right with California and yeah, the d o J served 95 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: the BCC with subpoenas for information on licensed entities including 96 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: manifests and all kinds of good stuff. How do you 97 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: feel about that? How did you feel about it in 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: the beginning, knowing that you were going into that realm. Well, 99 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: I knew it was part of the part of the play. 100 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 1: You know, you gotta take the chances. You gotta be smart, 101 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: you gotta have a couple of different burner phones. You're 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: really careful about how you operate, allegedly, you know still 103 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: when I drive on looking every which way every time, 104 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: setting cruise control, just being really cautious about how you operate. Um. 105 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: But you don't really get too far if you don't 106 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: push the envelopes. So you had to push those envelopes, 107 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: and uh lucky. I only went to jail a few 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: times for really short periods. That's what I was. We 109 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: would get caught. You get caught slipping every once in 110 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: a while. I back the day before regulations, we would 111 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: tell people when they came in and wanted to start 112 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: a cannabis business. You know, they thought it was all easy, 113 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: and we actually had a as. I had a mom 114 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: from Coda to Kaza come in one time. She wanted 115 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: to start delivery service, and she thought it was gonna 116 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: be super simple, And I said, I'll tell you what. 117 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: Stand ups. Turn around, put your hands behind your back, 118 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and we put cuffs on you. Because that's what it 119 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: is now. It's a crime. First defended later, back before 120 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: regulations and she promptly and she promptly ran out of 121 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: the office. So yeah, back then, we was yet one 122 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: foot in the felony door before regulations hit. Um, now 123 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: you gotta sleep a little easier, cost a little more, 124 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: more attorneys on staff, but in the regulatory process at 125 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: least you're most likely not gonna get hit by the Feds. 126 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: Although there's still there, there's still no protection. There's still 127 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: no protection right now. The only protection is for medical 128 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: and they're trying to extend that to adult use, which 129 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives have passed UH an amendment to 130 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: extend that protection to all state sanctioned cannaba's businesses. But 131 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: like you did last year, it's gonna probably slieve until 132 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: the the Senate would have done it already. The Senate 133 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: is not going to do it in a million years 134 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: until this November. If it flips Democrat, I think we're 135 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: gonna see the doors open up and the FEDS take 136 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: action because the Democrats have already done that at the 137 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: House level. Now the Senate has to get involved, and 138 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: if they both agree, it doesn't matter what Biden fucking thinks, 139 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. What was it like that first time 140 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: you were arrested? You mentioned you did some jail, got 141 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: caught a couple of times. To tell us about the 142 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: first the first incident of how'd your charity dealing with 143 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: the cops? He used, it's a good story. Actually, so 144 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: is October sometimes right around a friend's birthday. And so 145 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: I only knew Arcade city of the city and Humble 146 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: to San Francisco is living in San Francisco at the time. Um, 147 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: so I had a connection up in Humble. You know, 148 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: I was barely twenty and I don't even know if 149 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: I was twenty, But anyway, I would get a friend 150 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: that was twenty five to rent me a car for 151 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: a day, for a twenty four hour period, and our 152 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: jet up to Humble, grabbed two pounds, jet back, do 153 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: my thing, break it up, and and you know, get 154 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: something to smoke out of it and make a little money. 155 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: So one day I was I had a friend from 156 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: out of state who had Georgia place. He's like, yeah, 157 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: I'll take you up there. So we went. I stuffed 158 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: the sleeping bag in the trunk, got the two pounds, 159 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: and uh, we go on our way head and south 160 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: of course, you know, we had dreadlocks. I was just 161 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: sleep in the back seat. My friends are smoking weed 162 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: while driving, and like, oh man, that's not good. Anyway, 163 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: we got pulled over and like just south of Yukaia 164 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: and Mendocino County, which I had no idea what was what. 165 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: I was just on the one on one we get 166 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: pulled over for going six miles over the speed limit. 167 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: Pulled us over those dreads. The boom as soon as 168 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: they pulled us or it was like I smell it 169 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 1: in the car, and so you know, I took responsibility 170 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: for that, and they brought me into Yukaya. It was 171 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: I think of Friday. I think I had like three 172 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: dollars to my name at that time. So I was 173 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: locked up. They let me out after the three day 174 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: or whatever um and gave me a a court date. 175 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: And so I didn't have a medical card at the moment, 176 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: so I went right back to the Bay Area. Gotten 177 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 1: a point with Todd with Dr Todd mick Arria, who 178 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: was kind of one of the legendary first kind of 179 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: doctors that was issuing scripts that you know, California Medical 180 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: Board tried to take his license and everything. So it 181 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: was all in those early days. So I got my 182 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: script through him and wound up retroactively. The court accepted 183 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: the the two fifteen, and um, I wounded up getting 184 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: the case dropped only up north. That only happens up 185 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: so I got lucky there. And then in two thousand 186 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: four I got pulled over in Orange County and I 187 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a different scenario. But eventually, 188 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,199 Speaker 1: after five court dates, my two fifteen got me out 189 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: of that one too. If that one I forgot to 190 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: ask for my pounds back, that's when I wasn't gonna 191 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: mess with it. Right after the second one, I was like, 192 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: damn yeah. But even then, even even then, you got 193 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: to charge it to the game. Get yeah, you charge you, 194 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: You charge it to the game. Um, But depending if 195 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: you had your paperwork, we'll see how under to fifteen. 196 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: If if you had individually, it might be hard to 197 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: get that back, you could. But if you were under 198 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, operating a cooperative collectively properly like we did 199 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: with my kid the second time, when we got the 200 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: felonies dismissed, we were able to walk out of the 201 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: cops station with all his weed, hash money, phones. That's 202 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: the best feeling in the world is getting it out 203 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: of the evitable. That was awesome. Yeah, Craig, let me 204 00:10:54,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: ask you this. I mean you're operating real Craig gently, Yeah, Craig, 205 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: you know, operating a square foot uh up to thirty 206 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: four thousand square feet. I mean, what what kind of 207 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: staff do you employ to operate these kind of a facility. 208 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: I mean, there, you've got to have a ton of 209 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: people running around for you. And let's talk about that. 210 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: Or is it just you just out there? We lease 211 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: the hey month of cannabis. Um Well, it's hard because 212 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: I have a management company that manages all of my 213 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: employees throughout the four or five different entities, three main 214 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: cannabis entities. UM So, I have nearly a hundred and 215 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: thirties plus or minus employees on average right now. UM so, 216 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: we do have forty nine thousand square foot of outdoor cultivation. 217 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: That takes about a full time crew about twelve people 218 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: out there. And then July August when we're harvesting and 219 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: replanning for the second run like that, um we got 220 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: to bring in an additional ten to twelve people. And 221 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: then what really takes a lot of people is the 222 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: manufacturing of products um, you know process saying into packaging, 223 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: getting stuff distribution ready. So so how many medium licenses 224 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 1: do you have? You're only allowed to have one medium license. 225 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: So I only have one medium license and then an 226 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: array of small lights. That's what I meant, That's what 227 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: the ten and under. Yes, yes, so you must have 228 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: what twenty of those? No? I have one medium and 229 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: then sick small I believe you know, look telling not 230 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: in that particular property. If I get confused between the 231 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: county and the state, got got you tell our listeners 232 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: how difficult it is and how long it took you 233 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: to go through the process to get actually licensed. It's 234 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: extremely difficult. I mean really it starts with your local municipality, 235 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: so it kind of depends on how hard and difficult 236 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: they make it. Um humble, you know, I would say 237 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: it was kind of the leader in the pack in 238 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: terms of opening up life insane. Not that being easy, 239 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: but kind of catapulted me. And I was really licensing. 240 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: Um scheme was because the property that I had bought 241 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: in two thousand and fourteen had already been visited by 242 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: what they called the wet team, which was you know, 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: an array of different agencies that were going to bus 244 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: cannabis projects. So they actually came out to this property 245 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: before I bought it and then gave us a list 246 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: of violations. So that had already started on all the 247 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: use aspects of it. So I was kind of, you know, 248 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: it's hard to determine whether to go legal or not. 249 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: But I was like, well, I'm just gonna go all in. 250 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: I see that people are making a living in Colorado. 251 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: It seems like there's opportunity, so I'm not going for it. 252 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: Not not as much in the old days, but you 253 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: still make money, not like the old days. Zough No, 254 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: but you know it's you're not looking over your shoulder. 255 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: I like, I like being home and knowing that when 256 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: I hear a calicopter, I don't need to worry about 257 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: lying down and picking me up. We're talking to Craig 258 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: the Jetty out of Humble County is the CEO of 259 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: Talking Trees Farms, Tori Wellness, High, Great Distribution, Creation, Skateboards. 260 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: I want to go back to when you went there 261 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: at twenty years old. How did that community because Humboldt 262 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: County man there, you know, it's like a good strong community, 263 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: let alone a cannabis you know community how did you 264 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: get your in there? Because now you're growing your own farm, 265 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: you have a distribution center, you opened up a dispensary. 266 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: What was your in I mean, was it the guy 267 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: with dredge and just getting along with everybody? How did 268 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: you get accepted into the community because now you're a 269 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: huge part of it and you're you know, employing a 270 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: lot of people out there. Yeah, I mean I think 271 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: with the Hemp the Hemp Clothing Company definitely was a 272 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: big factor. You know, been up here and doing producing 273 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: products that most are hard to find. So the brand 274 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: SA Tory movement was pretty popular. And then um, you know, 275 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: you're just being in an area. You get to know people, 276 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: get to know the guys at the growth stores. You know, 277 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: it's a totally different world from when I first moved 278 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: here to now. I mean back in the day, you 279 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: didn't want to park in the in the hydro store 280 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: parking lot. You would like send a friend in that 281 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: doing the work, you know, someone that because you always 282 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: felt like the cops were what you know, it was 283 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: it was exposure that you wanted to be careful of. 284 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: So um, you you know, even up until a few 285 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: years ago, mutual friends or you know, my kids, teachers 286 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: and stuff. It was all kind of still hush hush, 287 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: No one really knew what was going on. But now 288 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: that it's you know, all out in the open, at 289 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: least legally local state level, you know, now it's just 290 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: kind of an open book and like, here's what was hearing. 291 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: What's going on? You want a job? We're still hiring. 292 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy that that? I mean, well, we're still 293 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: trying to change the stigma of people who smoke and 294 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: stoner mentality and all that stuff. I mean, it's still 295 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: is amazing to the degree that it is now acceptable 296 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: when you say, yeah, I'm in the cannabis space. I mean, 297 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: people don't really blink twice like they used to. Oh yeah, 298 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: it's cool now oh yeah. I mean I have landlords 299 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: that seven years ago like, no way, we won't rent 300 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: to a cannabis business, But now you know, they're renting 301 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: to me, and they're all about it, and they're actually 302 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: starting their own cannabis businesses. So you've definitely seen a 303 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: large a cultural shift from even more conservative people that 304 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: are seeing an opportunity. Um, but you know, it's changing. 305 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: Golden glitter isn't all They're either they think they think 306 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: it's easy money. But I like, I like when people 307 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: getting near to cannabis and like, oh, I'm gonna get 308 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: in this and make a bunch of money. I'm like, 309 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: good luck. Government's taking it all, you know. I mean 310 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 1: we when we tell people that when they come in 311 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: for consultations, it's like, hey, this is not you know, 312 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: this isn't what you think it is, and it's not 313 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: the green rush anymore. And we can talk about that 314 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: a little more when we get back from this break. 315 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: Welcome back, Welcome back. So Craig, it's just crazy with 316 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: this dude, to which Craig, But both Craigs are crazy, 317 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: but this guy Craig was crazier to start all that 318 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: stuff out there and humble like that.

I bet that was some because Blue 322 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: grew up with his dad growing wed. I bet it's 323 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: very similar for you too. Well, you know those dad, 324 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: you know the big hunter gallon, you know, uh bags 325 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: or whatever you'd feel.

You know, We've got I think 331 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: it was eight hundred of these you know, five hundred 332 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: gallon bags or whatever they were. And we were like, well, 333 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: we got to move all these, you know, and and 334 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: literally we started on Friday, obviously like we got first 335 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: of all, we left the moment they said that, everybody's yeah, 336 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: we all left. And then, you know, Friday afternoon after 337 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: I'm sweating and you know, trying to figure out what 338 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: was gonna happen to get these plants, we gotta go 339 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: grab that's all the money. So so we're up in 340 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: the hills and everybody's like, yo, dude. You know the 341 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: cops are down there. They're always you know, pulling everybody 342 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: down with trucks. So if you had a big truck 343 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 1: come from the hill, you were like a target, you know. 344 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: So I'm like, well, we're gonna get steakbad trucks, you know. 345 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: So we literally got those open steakbad trucks and just 346 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: put tarps over them. So it looked like it was open, 347 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: like an open truck, and like you're not gonna pull, 348 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: You're not gonna stuff, you know, eight hundred trees and 349 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, in these huge things and we had to 350 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: we had to get forklifts and and like you know, 351 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: it was manpower for days. We moved them all. We 352 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: lost half the damn crop. You know. But I understand 353 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 1: your stories. I'm sure you you had some. I'm sure 354 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: you know. One of the things that was intriguing me 355 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: is is some of your long term goals of the 356 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: worm castings and composts and stuff like that, you know, 357 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: creating your own stews. You know, I'm sure you're you're 358 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: you're deep into that. What are your thoughts on that, uh, 359 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: in terms of like the feeding and bringing composts and 360 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: stuff like creating your own your own compost and things 361 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: like that. Is that that that's one of your next steps? Yeah, 362 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to get to a scale we're 363 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: actually producing like our own worm castings and stuff like that. 364 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: But you know, one step at a time. But we 365 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: definitely uh produce all organic. Um. We use this global 366 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: soil amendments and then pretty much use dry powder products 367 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 1: that try to stay away from the bottles as much 368 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: as possible to in terms of you can just stack 369 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: up container fulls of empty bottles freezing liquid nutrients. So 370 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: you too, growers talking to each other in another language. 371 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: You know this word you talked about worm castings and calm? 372 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: What what is? You give me some definitions? Tell me 373 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: what this means in plain English. You know there's worms 374 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,719 Speaker 1: in the cannabis tequila. It's food we worn't. Casting is 375 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: basically worm poo, which is a great uh, worm conditioner. 376 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: And do you relax so you can't eat any of it? 377 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: Worm excrement the go um. So yeah, it's great for 378 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: the soil, it's great for the plants. Helps nutrient uptake 379 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: and then compost is you know, how do you pick 380 00:19:52,280 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: that up? Literally walk around a little little pooper scooper. No, really, 381 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: you're all joking aside. I think people want to know. 382 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk. We're gonna talk in that little bit 383 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: of a detail. I mean, how does that, How does 384 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: that happen? How do you distract that? Put a little 385 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 1: thing in there, extract I mean, if you if you 386 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: create a bed in an environment, the worms will just 387 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: constantly be eating, you know, natural material. Some people feed 388 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: them sawdust, all kinds of different things and then they'll 389 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: just when you eat, you poop. And then you sift 390 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: those those castings from the like the dirt and material 391 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: and then you can extract that or you can just 392 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: add it to your soil as as is um. So 393 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: there's many different ways you can work with it. But 394 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: as we're talking about and we're talking about growing in 395 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: plants and you have the talking trees farms, that's where 396 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure you're using all this uh worm poop at 397 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: What are some of the stranger strands? I know you're 398 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: selling a Papa and Barkley, Papa selected a bunch of 399 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: other companies. What are the big strands that I see 400 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: that big company brand and a great looking logo behind 401 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 1: you talking trees listen to and trees grown and humble 402 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: good byes. I like the logo behind you. It has 403 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: a good look. I mean, like, what are your strands 404 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: and what does that grow? Like? We have over a 405 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 1: hundred strains, so you know, we mainly pack a d 406 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: industribute to like over three stores, so we're always trying 407 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: to find a new strain, work with breeders and final 408 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: hunt in particular cut. So right now, I believe we 409 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: have you know, eight greenhouses. We have a bed perse strains, 410 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: have twenty four strains minimum on one farm and then 411 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 1: the adjacent farm different twenty four strains or more. So 412 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 1: we're always to try all of them. Yeah, I want 413 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: to make sure they're good. Listen, you gotta make sure 414 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna putting out a good product out there. I 415 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: will tell you, give me all one hundred let me 416 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: try them out with a with all those strains. Uh, Greig, 417 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: you've got you must have a good intellectual property attorney. 418 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: You're you're you're protecting the names of those strains. And 419 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: what kind of difficulties have you had question maneuvering the 420 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: the intellectual property aspect of all this. Yeah. So I'm 421 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 1: not too deep into like the breeding side of it yet. 422 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: So most of the strains that we do have aren't 423 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: proprietary to us. Um, So I've really gotten into that 424 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 1: level of it just yet. But I know there are 425 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: people out there. Even a friend of mine, you know, 426 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: I thought I had a stream. Well, I know it 427 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: was a name out there. So we're like, oh, we 428 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: got this strain. I get a call from my Buddy's like, 429 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm like, why is he calling me? He's like, I 430 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: gotta let you know, man, you're I got noticed of 431 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: trademark and what trademark? You're still in my ship? Craig? 432 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: What am I? What are you talking about? Oh? The strain? 433 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: You know, we we trademarked it. It's ours, and I'm 434 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: just kind of laughing. I'm like, okay, well whatever, we'll 435 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: just call it something different. But I know you didn't 436 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: create that strain. He just came up with a name 437 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: and trademark. Up until recent I think that's all strains 438 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: were the same bag of weed. Let's put this over here. 439 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: Those for there, and let's come up with some bitching names. 440 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: Last night thing going on last night my friends were 441 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: making up new names for Oh, this is called the Yeah, 442 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: I think we should call this, you know. It's like 443 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: this is called the hot ass? Yeah? Come on? Kind 444 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: of weed? Is that? What's been the number one? Always? 445 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's always good to get trademarks, you know. 446 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: So if we do start creating our own strains, we 447 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: definitely will trademark. And whether we enforce the trademark or 448 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: let it out and allow other people to grow it, 449 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: you know, It's kind of good marketing strategy to let 450 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 1: people grow it. Other people want to just hold and 451 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: possess things. That's not really my style. Just cool to 452 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: call someone and be like, Hey, that thing you're trying 453 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: to put off, I have my name on it. Yeah, Craig, 454 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 1: what's the one that's gotten you the most? I would say, wins? 455 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you won the Emerald Cut first place, pre Roles, 456 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: you want at weed Con, you want at high Times. 457 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: Is that one strain that did it? Or was it 458 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 1: a couple of different ones? Different strains? Really? Uh? You 459 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: know right now, one one strain that we really keep 460 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: in our rotation is that we got a really good 461 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 1: Skittles cut many years ago. And um, it's a hard 462 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: strain to come by that you're gonna get. You're gonna 463 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: give the kid profile trademark on that favorite is so good. Uh. 464 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: Even this year the Z money for so z money 465 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: is a Skittles O G Cross. That's a good one, 466 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: you know. Speaking speaking of different products lines, you must 467 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 1: be getting ready for a huge crop to come down 468 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: right now. How much products are you looking at actually 469 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: developing this year? I mean, you know, harvest time is here, baby, 470 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: so we're just right around the corner from pay day. 471 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: You know, I want to come visit you. Remember these 472 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: times in life. I didn't know what time it is, Broy. 473 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: They're getting ready right now that everybody's getting getting exciting. 474 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: A couple undercover grows. We don't know about you're just 475 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: getting I don't want to know. I've heard about mine 476 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: all over the TV. Were you talking about? Let me 477 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: ask you a question right now, I just ask go ahead. 478 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: Now it's tough. I we probably got about you know. 479 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: Right now, we're we're already harvesting quite a lot because 480 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: we do two runs of light deep in most of 481 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: the gardens, so we probably got over six pounds ready 482 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: to process. And that's that's the the bottleneck is getting 483 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: a process, especially right now with COVID and everything. We 484 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: had to lay off quite a bit of people up processing, 485 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: and now we have to do the social distancing. So 486 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: we're running into issues with in all the South American 487 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: kind of trimmigrants that you have to rely on to 488 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: get stuff done this time of the year aren't around, 489 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: so getting product to market, and I think we're seeing 490 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: it with other branches because I have a store and 491 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: the distribution is extremely challenging this year, there's a lot 492 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: less people in the workforce. More people are making money 493 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: on unemployment than if they were working. So, yeah, the 494 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 1: machine you can only do such a good job. We 495 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: don't really go that route. So we'd like hand manicured 496 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: for our A buds and uh, we're just waiting to 497 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: get trimmed and get out to market.

But then again, I'm sure, I'm sure 524 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: you're in compliance for that. But seven different facilities that 525 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: are kind of spread out, so it would take a 526 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: whole day to see it. We got a weekend to 527 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: put aside. Let's go, boys, We're ready. We're talking to 528 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: Craig gently out of Humble County, and I want to 529 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: touch on high grade distribution. How many products are you distributing? 530 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: But let alone, how did you figure? Let me start 531 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: also creating my own distribution company that can help distribute 532 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: all my products it's a brilliant fucking plan. You just 533 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: like capitalize on everything. But but what are you pushing out? Yeah? Well, actually, 534 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 1: uh high great distribution was actually formed in two thousand 535 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: four when I was doing the skateboard business and clothing 536 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: apparel for selling a few of my other friends that 537 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: have skateboard companies. We started distributing for them around the 538 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: world because that product can distribute globally. Um. But once 539 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: I started getting into the Cannadas space more and then 540 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: transition the distribution comming into being a Canada's distribution company. UM, 541 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: so that was a matter progression our sorry two thousan 542 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: eight team. Um. Once we were getting all into the 543 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: canvas permitting and it just seemed like a natural progression 544 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: in distributing and controlling where your own products go if 545 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: you only pushed out your own products through there, Yeah, 546 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: produce and also, uh you know, have an agreement with 547 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,719 Speaker 1: space Jam gummies, and so we just do talking trees 548 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: and the space Jam gummy brand and it keeps us 549 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: quite busy. It is guys. We'll be right back after 550 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: this break, you know. Um. Actually I think I I've 551 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: seen I met you. It's some of the trade shows 552 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 1: at some point and um or some of your guys 553 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: that were out there working and they had they had 554 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: the high grade. Uh the hats were those yours or 555 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: was that another company you know and taking on your infringement.
