So let's get into it, Dan, 60 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: I I kind of want to go right to the 61 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: CIA because it just intrigues me. I mean, we can 62 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,519 Speaker 1: get into the eating hip and how it started and 63 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: all that other good stuff. But I think I want 64 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: to save that for a second because when I heard 65 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: you're a part of the CIA, and then now you 66 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: get into hamp and you have the first himp farm 67 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: in New York. I mean over eighty years, you're on 68 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: the board of Cannabis with Governor Cuomo, who's just everywhere 69 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: and anywhere. You can't watch the news without watching Governor Cuomo. 70 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: So you're in tight with everyone in New York. But 71 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to all that too. But talk about CIA, 72 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: How does one even become into the CIA? How does 73 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: that even happen? Well, I don't want to dampen things 74 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: right off the bat, but I worked in the intelligence community, 75 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: but I worked for the Director of National Intelligence, so 76 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: not exactly the CIA, but still part of the MALU 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: so to speak. But so you're like fighting crime where 78 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: you're putting people like, you know, looking at the people 79 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: selling weed and going, you know what, I'm gonna grow 80 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: himp screw. I would never do that. Now. I was 81 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: doing a counter terrorism so I was working at the 82 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: National counter Terrorism Center for for most of my past life. 83 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: That was under the tail end of Bush, White House 84 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: and beginning of Obama. Well, thank you for that. And 85 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, how does one get into something 86 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: like that, I mean, how did your you know, life 87 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: actually at the end of their Yeah, I believe me 88 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: if you would have told me I was if you 89 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: told me I was gonna be working a in the 90 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: intelligence community and then be, you know, becoming a farmer 91 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: when I was younger, I would have never believed either 92 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: of those things. So um, but yeah, I uh, you know, 93 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: I I guess my my first foray, I was interested 94 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: after after college in US foreign policy, and I was, 95 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 1: as a New Yorker around during nine eleven, sort of 96 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: have a personal connection there, and it kind of led 97 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: me in a in a in a way thinking about 98 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: homeland security and counter terrorism and just kind of the 99 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 1: world as it was back then. And uh, I was 100 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: lucky enough to get a job as a research associate 101 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: at the Council on Foreign Relations and I did that 102 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: for a few years, and then I went to grad school. 103 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: I went to the Fletcher School at Tufts and which 104 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: is a school for international relations and studied counter terrorism 105 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: and national security and all those types of things. And 106 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: I had an offer right out of grad school to 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: UH to join the government and worked worked up pretty 108 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: well and moved to d C and spent about five 109 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: years down there. That's awesome. And so you spent five 110 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: years there, and now you get this hair up the ass. 111 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: It's say, I want to open up a hamp farm, 112 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: I want to do cb D Well, I think it's 113 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: deeper than that. With with with you, Dan, if I'm 114 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: not mistaken, you actually helped write the legislation and law 115 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: for New York to to actually have hamp accessible for 116 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: New York, if I'm not mistaken, right, Yeah, Yeah, So 117 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: the connection there is I left left government in two 118 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: thousand eleven to do some private sector consulting and moved 119 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: back up to New York, and after a few years 120 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: got offered a position to be the chief security officer 121 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: for a company that was trying to get a medical 122 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: marijuana license in New York when they first came out. 123 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: And UH in a way thankful that the company did 124 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: not get the life since because the program at that 125 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: point was very narrow banded. It was sort of set 126 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: up to fail in some ways, and and I think 127 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: I think the company would have gone bankrupt had had 128 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: we gotten a license. But Through that, I met my 129 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: now business partner, Mark Just, who's ex Wall Street guy 130 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: who bought a farm in two thousand and eight transitioned 131 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: it to an organic working farm, a large organic working farm, 132 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: and him and I really liked working together, and he 133 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: knew with my government background he thought I could be 134 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: of help. He was very interested in getting a heap license. 135 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: At the time, help was illegal federally, but but every 136 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: state had their own legislation, and New York had just 137 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: passed legislation allowing people to apply for licenses. So I 138 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: thought it was super interesting. I've always been a supporter 139 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: of cannabis and and I thought, um, you know, this 140 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: is something I can kind of stick my teeth into. 141 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: So we started exploring and working together, and then he said, 142 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: why don't you just, you know, do you want to 143 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: be full partners and buy the farm and I on 144 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: half the farm. So we're our fifty fifty. But we 145 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: ended up getting that first license to grow hemp in 146 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: New York in two thousand sixteen, and the first iteration 147 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: of that bill UH was really sort of prohibitive. It 148 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: it didn't allow farmers to bring crops to market, so 149 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: it was doing all the right things and saying you 150 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: could you could you get elections, you could grow it, 151 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: you could research it, but you basically had to burn 152 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,119 Speaker 1: it in the field. And we went to the state 153 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: legislator and said, um, you know, no farmers going to 154 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: participate in a program where you have to give valuable 155 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: land up to grow a crop that Let's face it, 156 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: people know how to grow cannabis. You know. The research 157 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: was sort of in quotations. And if you can't bring 158 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: it to market and there's no value there, why is 159 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: anyone going to participate? And there was this old ship 160 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: moment where they, you know, realized what we we We 161 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: probably need to pass another bill because we couldn't rewrite 162 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: the law at that point. And so that's how I 163 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: ended up working with them and rewriting legislation and making 164 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: sure that farmers were allowed to participate in the market. 165 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: But that first year, people were so scared off that 166 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: we were the only farm to grow. So in two 167 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: thousand and sixteen, we were the first and only farm 168 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: to grow hemp in New York and literally planted the 169 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: first seed in eighty years with an armed guard standing 170 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: standing over us, and the New York Times there as well. 171 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: So it was quite an interesting period. But but yeah, 172 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: that's how it sort of evolved. Why an armed guard, 173 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god, what kind of seed are 174 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: you gonna plant? It was ridiculous. I mean, the d 175 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: A came, they had to inspect our planters and where 176 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: we're going to store the seed and make sure that 177 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: they're Literally we were storing the seed our partners at 178 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: the time, we had a research partner Sunny Marsville, and 179 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: we were storing the seed in a classroom there until 180 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: we were planting it. And they were talking about what 181 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: if people repelled down the roof and coming through the wind, 182 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,839 Speaker 1: I mean insane, They were that deep. Yeah, and so 183 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: they said, you go, we want to make sure that 184 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: every seed is accounted for and planted, and and that's 185 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: that's why they had a hard armed guard there as 186 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: we as we as we planted. Well, I I assume 187 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: they were just you know, uh, giving people work, right, 188 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: They're making, you know, sure their presence was there. It's 189 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: like that, uh you know, the guy that stands he's 190 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: there standing by just to make sure make sure you're 191 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: ain't screwing around, not not planting a weed plant. But 192 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: they wouldn't even know the difference. The seed looks the same, 193 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 1: everything's the same. It's like how they gonna what It 194 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way, 195 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: you know. Being being the the you know, the one 196 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: to actually take the the efforts to to create the 197 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 1: legislation for that and and rewrite that. Um. You know, 198 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: first of all, thank you and congratulations. You are a 199 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: true pioneer in in in that sense. And I love that, 200 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, from you, hearing that from you and being 201 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: in your presence because it's what stimulates you know, the market. 202 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: And I know that you've talked about this in the past, 203 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: is that you know, you're looking to create plant based 204 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: proteins um and creating actual you know, uh, revenues for 205 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: the for the for New York and if not the country. 206 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: I mean, this is something that that you know, not 207 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people think about when stepping into this industry. 208 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,839 Speaker 1: A lot of them just think about, you know, making 209 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: some money and making a product and sell it, yeah 210 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: dollar signs, you know. So you know, is was it 211 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: difficult rewriting that legislation and did you have any blowback 212 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: you know from that portion of it. You know, everything 213 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: is tied to economics and jobs right, especially in New York. 214 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: And what we did was we you know, when you know, 215 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: HEP has been pitched every which way for decades and 216 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: I think, um, when we came in as as almost 217 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, businessmen, and I don't want to be with 218 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: Jarred if here, but we weren't two white guys with 219 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 1: dreadlocks coming in trying to say, hey, we want to 220 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: go smoke. We know, I mean again very very kind 221 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: of as friendly, but but we just kind of, I think, 222 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: gave off a different vibe. And when we hosted the 223 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: Governor's Secretary of Agriculture, the head of the Department of 224 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Agriculture and Markets, Um, there's a lot of state legislators 225 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: and and just kind of big policymakers at the farm 226 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 1: and they saw big John deer tractors roll across you know, 227 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: the fields, and you can almost see at that moment 228 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: a light bulb go off to say, oh, this is jobs, 229 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: this is money, we need to do this. And farmers 230 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: who are especially an upstate in New York are suffering, uh, 231 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, the dairy industry as it kind of goes 232 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: up and down and uh, you know, looking for another 233 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: versatile and viable crop that they could potentially make money with. 234 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: You know, that was something that the governor can kind 235 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: of get behind, and he really did his credit. I mean, 236 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: he put a lot of money into, uh, into the 237 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: heap industry. And did you think that your past history 238 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: and experience and especially Mark Partner being a you know 239 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: Wall Street guy, you being in the government, you know, 240 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: touching high profile you know figures cases, do you think 241 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: that played a role as well into going Governor Cuomo 242 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: going hey man, this is legit. These guys are are serious. Yeah. Absolutely, 243 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: I think I think both of our backgrounds and the 244 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: fact that we were taking an interest in it. Um, 245 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're farmers, so we sort of walk 246 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: both paths. But obviously we we both come from from 247 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: backgrounds that that I think they could they could put 248 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: their they could put their money behind and so to speak. 249 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: And so I think I think it absolutely, it definitely, 250 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: it definitely helped. Yeah, you're you guys, aren't some stoners. 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: You're some guys that were possibly friends of theirs who 252 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: went to the same bars after work, same restaurants, and like, Okay, 253 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: these are guys that I rubbed elbows with and now 254 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: they're getting into the hemp industry. That being said, as 255 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: as Blue kind of pointed out, did people in New York? 256 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: Did you get any pushed back from friends, colleagues? Other 257 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: business part is when what the hell are these guys doing? 258 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: They're just wanting to grow weed? Not understands. Yeah, and 259 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: and there was some, but there actually wasn't as much 260 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: as I thought. Um, the legislation ended up passing, I 261 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: think unanimously, but we definitely had to do the rounds 262 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: and talk to um the right folks and explain to 263 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: them the difference between you know, marijuana and hemp. And 264 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: one of the things that um, you know, as you 265 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: said there there thought the people who were sort of 266 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: against it was well, you could hide a marijuana crop 267 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: in a field of hemp. And I used to say, 268 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: it's like hiding raw meat in the lions dead because 269 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: you know, marijuana would, especially if you're growing hemp for 270 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: as a as a big agricultural commodity, would cross pollinate 271 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: you know, female marijuana plants and basically render them, you know, useless. 272 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 1: So you couldn't hide marijuana in a field of himp. 273 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: That would be the worst place you'd want to do it. 274 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: And actually, if they were looking to eradicate this. This 275 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 1: is what really got them was is you're looking to 276 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: eradicate backyard farmers who are growing a liit marijuana. You know, 277 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: you should probably plant heap everywhere because it'll you know, 278 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: it'll it'll blow through the wind and cross polony. And 279 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: we actually had neighbors near the farm who were pretty 280 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: pissed those first couple of years because they're they're you know, 281 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: they're farm backyard plants. Yeah, you know, I didn't even 282 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: think of that. I mean, you know, a lot of 283 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: people don't realize it. But you know, if you've got 284 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: a big field of hemp and you're literally anywhere, I 285 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: mean you could get on your clothes and it could 286 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: jump onto the to the other plants, and it could 287 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: cross pollinate and it could create actual, you know, seeds 288 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: and all kinds of problems for your your growth. With 289 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: that being said, it's Cannabis Talk one on one.

Well he's on next week, that's right. So 299 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: how long do you guys? You you say it's about 300 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: six years now that you guys have been planting this. 301 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: Uh two thousand six team was our first year. So 302 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: I'm coming up on I guess five years. Five years 303 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: and a little bit about eating himp for you guys first, 304 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: all completely organic. Now talk a little bit about your 305 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: product because we've tried it. I tried it. I think 306 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I actually felt results right away when I 307 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: was using it, and it feel free to send me anymore. 308 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: But when I used it, I you know, I for myself. 309 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: Why I like using CBD is because I have bad hips. 310 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: I've had two hip surgeries. They replaced both my labor 311 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: ms and I had my fumer bone shape down. And 312 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: I have a bad ankle that I need to have 313 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: surgery on. And that being said, now I have authoritis 314 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: sent my hips. Once I started taking the eating hemp 315 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: you know regularly and I was smoking the flower that 316 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: you guys have. You guys have a day one in 317 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: a nighttime one. I felt my inflammation go down. Now 318 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: I always tell people it never went away, you know, 319 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: because I always have some pain. I'll still get a 320 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: limp here and there, but my pain and inflammation was reduced. 321 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not getting paid to say this 322 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: for you guys. This is what happened when I took it. Folks, 323 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, meating period and I am asking for more. 324 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted out there exactly, but talk a 325 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: little bit about your product, because that's me giving the testimony. 326 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: But it's full spectrum, and give us the whole spill, please. Yeah. 327 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: So we actually use the whole plant, which I think 328 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: is unique UM as as opposed to a lot of 329 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: hemp companies that are just focused on CBD. I mean, 330 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: we're obviously big believers, but we we make a plant 331 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: based protein snacks, you know, hemp parts, toasted seeds. We've 332 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: got a new UH product that we're launching it in 333 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: the new year. We also used the stocks to do 334 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: UH pet betting, and we're experiment and a number of 335 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: different things there. But but CBD. You know, when we 336 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: got into it. We we only were wanted to do 337 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: it if we could do it organic, because hemp is 338 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: a is what's called a fire ormediary plant, which means 339 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: it soaks up toxins from the soil. So if you're 340 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: not growing organically, you know, you're picking up all the 341 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: pesticides and herbicides that are being used. It's you know, 342 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: they they use hemp and chernobyl to help clean up 343 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: the toxins there. So, Um, it really is an important 344 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: plant to grow without any without any chemicals or or 345 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: anything put into the soil. So being certified organic was 346 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: really important for us. And as you said, we do 347 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: tinctures full spectrum, which means we don't we don't take 348 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: out any of the other cannabinoids. Um. The reason why 349 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: I think full spectrum is is important is because it's 350 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: it's sort of like the difference between taking a vitamin 351 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: C pill and eating a whole orange. Um. You know, 352 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: I think we're still trying to figure out how all 353 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: the cannabinoids, and there's there's way more than CBD there 354 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: CBN and CBG and CBC. You know, there's there's tons 355 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: of canna anoids in cannabis and all of them kind 356 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: of working together is what really produces the most effective result. 357 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: So having full spectrum means you have all of those 358 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: in there without kind of taking it anything anything out, 359 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: and all the terrapines as well. And as far as smoking, 360 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: you know what I love about the flower and the 361 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: and we sell pre rolls which your pre roll joints. 362 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: And as you said, we have an uptime and a downtime, 363 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: and up time is more of um I guess of 364 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: a sativa, and downtime is more of an indica. So 365 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: you know you can you can use the uptime is 366 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, during the day it won't put you to 367 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: sleep in the downtime will kind of relax you a 368 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: lot more to get you ready for bed. But the 369 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: bio availability of smoking is the most effective way to 370 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: get it into your bloodstream. So smoking actually you you 371 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: you have about twenty five more effectiveness when you when 372 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: you inhale it into your and it's a it's a 373 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: faster delivery them, right, I mean it hits you quicker 374 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: and it actually uh sinks into your receptors faster. Correct, 375 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: that's right exactly. It's it's you know, with with with 376 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: the tinctures which I like I always say the tinctures 377 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: are something you take for your long term, prolonged health. 378 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: You know. I think it helps balance your body if 379 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: you're looking for that kind of instant feel of like sitting, 380 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, sinking into a warm bath. You know, the 381 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: smoking is really what gets it, you know. For me, 382 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: I I appreciate the smoking as well. I mean, um, 383 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: I personally don't like to smoke too much cannabis because 384 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: it gets me too high. Um, and I think this 385 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: is is and I don't like the psychoactive effect that much. 386 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: You know. When I was younger, I thought it was 387 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: cool and I smoked all the time. Now I'm you 388 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: know at that stage where feel like you're getting lazy, 389 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah what the hell? Yeah? Yeah, So the eating hemp 390 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 1: for me, it did. It's more of a it's a 391 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: mellow where you know, it's like, Okay, I get the 392 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: effect of it, but I'm not like whoa like I'm 393 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: in a bad place. And yeah, if you know what 394 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: I found interesting about it when I tried it was 395 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: you kind of feel what CBD is and does to 396 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: your body differently than th HC. Like when you're when 397 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: you're when you're smoking weed, it's you can you know 398 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: you get the head high and you feel everything else 399 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: in your body and a relaxation, But with the CBD 400 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: you don't get that head high, so you kind of 401 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: are taking out the th HC aspect of it. Um, 402 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 1: you know, And I think, uh, you know what what? 403 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: But I also like is a lot of people will 404 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: say to us, well, I don't smoke weed, but I 405 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: but my husband does, or my wife or my you know, 406 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: my friends, and I feel kind of left out, and 407 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 1: they say, well, with your product, I could actually sort 408 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: of participate. Sure I could. I could sit around in 409 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: a circle and kind of smoke and feel relaxed and comfortable, 410 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,239 Speaker 1: but not have kind of the head high, which you're right, 411 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: can can you know? The older you get, I think 412 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: it kind of it hits you a little bit harder. Well, 413 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: I think we're just more conscious, right, we have we 414 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: have things to do. That's like the kids want to 415 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: play enough sitting there unless well unless you're the part 416 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: brothers at law and you smoke all day cig. But 417 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: it's funny because Mark and Craig Washerman, especially Mark, he's 418 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: increased his CBD smoking and he says he notices so 419 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: many different effects, even one that he stands out and 420 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: stands by his sex life. He goes, my sex life 421 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 1: is better now with smoking CBD, right, and that's that, 422 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah that tagline, that's good. Yeah. Something you 423 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: mentioned was the toasted seeds. What are those? I didn't 424 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: see those, and I don't explain he didn't get it. 425 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: I didn't get this kind of food. So yeah, but 426 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: we'll send you our our our our snack products. So well. 427 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 1: We initially got into this in two thousand and sixteen. 428 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 1: CBD was not what it is now. It was not 429 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: a household name we we had. I would say I 430 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: didn't really know what CBD was. I heard it kind 431 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,639 Speaker 1: of tangentially out there, but our interest was more in 432 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: the health and wellness aspects. My Mark is an ultra athlete, 433 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: runs you know, a hundred miles, you know, ultra races 434 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: and things like that, and I'm not that crazy, but 435 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: I but I, you know, I am. I could do 436 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: a spartner too, in you Yeah, what's what's that? You 437 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: can still do a spartner too. But yeah, he's a 438 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 1: he's amazing exactly. Yeah, he's he's extreme. But you know, 439 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: when we were growing it, the initial interest was actually 440 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: using hemp as an organic cover crop because as an 441 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: organic farm, um, you know, you you can't obviously spray chemicals, 442 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: and you want crops that grow fast and have big, 443 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: broad leaves, and hemp actually fits that bill. And then 444 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: as we were growing it and it started to produce 445 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: the seeds, we would eat the seeds and the leaves 446 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: from the plants and we were like, wow, this is 447 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: sort of a revelation. You know, it's delicious, it's got 448 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: a nutty buttery taste. Well, let's do something with this. 449 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: And we started to formulate food products and that was 450 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: really the first foray into the industry for us was 451 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: was in the consumer package goods part and doing a 452 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: toasted seeds. So we take the whole seed and we 453 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: toasted and we have three different flavors. Um, and uh, 454 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: they're great for kind of a grab and go snack. Um. 455 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: You know, I think hemp is one of the most 456 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: complete plant proteins on Earth. Um. It's also the the 457 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: oil which is in the seed itself is the only 458 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: vegan alternative to fish oil. So it has a mega 459 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: threes and sixes in this perfect three to one balance. UM. 460 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: So it's really you know, as a plant protein has 461 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: a lot of advantages over p over a way over um. 462 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: So I you know, I think it's uh and I 463 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: think it's it's only beginning to to to really be 464 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: known that aspect because when CBD became more popular, that 465 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 1: kind of dominated the talk in the industry. And you know, 466 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: fair enough, CBD is great, but I think the actual 467 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: plant based seeds that don't have CBD but actually have 468 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: a lot of other nutrients in it, like magnesium and zani. 469 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: You're actually talking about the hamp seed. I mean, you know, 470 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: it's a straight hamp seed inside smoked or or or 471 00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: put you know, put some some kind of flavoring too it. 472 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: And and you guys are introducing that to the market 473 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: right now. What kind of distribution are you guys planning 474 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: to do or what kind of rollout is this? Are 475 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: you looking to go into like a Whole Foods or 476 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: is just more of a smoke shop? Where's your platform? Yeah, 477 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: our sweet spot is more more of a Whole Foods 478 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: um sort of demo. Um. You know, we we started 479 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: out here in New York in about twelve Whole foods. 480 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: You know, the retail game, and especially obviously with COVID 481 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: hitting you know, really is uh a very difficult market 482 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: to break into, and I think more people are moving 483 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: to online and so our biggest, our biggest distribution channel 484 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 1: is really direct to consumer, our website, which is eaton 485 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: hemp dot com and then on Amazon as well, and 486 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: those have been, you know, our our two biggest channels. 487 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: But we are in in some in some whole foods 488 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: and natural food stores and whatnot. Yeah, I'm on the 489 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: website right now. What are hip hearts? So hip hearts 490 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: are the seed, but it's what we say, it's sort 491 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: of de hold. So you're taking the actual outer shell 492 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: off and you're left with what we call it head part, 493 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: which is a softer um sort of easier to put 494 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: into your smoothie and it'll blend up um, you know, 495 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: So it doesn't have the same crunch and the seed, 496 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: but but it still has all a lot of the 497 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: same nutrients. The adder shell of the seed has a 498 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: lot of fiber, so when you take that off, you 499 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: lose some of that, but you still have all the 500 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: other nutrients. And it's it's some people, uh you know 501 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: like it. Uh, you know, it's it's sort of a 502 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: preference thing, you know, whether you want the crunch sort 503 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: of the softness of it. Sure, and you know what, 504 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: you guys are killing that. I mean, I mean literally, 505 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean you guys are pioneers for you know, bringing 506 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: it to New York then first, I mean that's crazy. Yeah, 507 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: and they helped rewrite the legislation, I mean.

But when you're 515 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: talking about it's real production and and real products that 516 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: are actually introduced to the market, I'm thoroughly impressed.

But yeah, so you know, 549 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: we we do that and then um uh yeah, the solve, 550 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: the tinctures, the pre rolls, um, you know. And we've 551 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: got a lot of other products in the works. I think, 552 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, sort of more designer CBD things for sleep 553 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: adding um you know what we're looking to add sort 554 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: of melatonin or magnesium. HID love that. I actually love that. 555 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: What the melotonin. My wife takes something with melotonin at 556 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: night and it just knocks it out all the time. 557 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: I love it. Yeah. You know, there's also CBN, which 558 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 1: I am a big proponent of, and we'll we'll have 559 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: that coming out as well. Yeah, so CBN is another cannaminoid. 560 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: So there's two other cavonoids I think your audience would 561 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: be interested in. There's CBG and CBN, and they're sort 562 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: of like uptime downtime in a way. So CBN is 563 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: is almost a natural sedative. Um, you take it before bed, 564 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: and I when I take it, I don't sleep, you know. 565 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: I mean no better than when I'm on CBN. I 566 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: mean it's it's great UM. And then CBG is kind 567 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: of more of a of a stimulant, so it's for me. 568 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 1: It replaces caffeine in the morning. Yeah, so it's UM. 569 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: In fact, if I take too much, which you know 570 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: you I because I'm very sensitive to caffeine, you know, 571 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: I'll end up staying up the whole night with Yeah. 572 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: So I'm next week again, I'd like to see. I 573 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 1: gotta try that CBG more. I'm gonna give me a bump. 574 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: But there's and there's so many other can of anoids 575 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: out there that UM. And this is why it was 576 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: such a shame that HEMP was a schedule on narcotic 577 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: because the science behind it we couldn't we couldn't study it, 578 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: you couldn't bring it in. Same thing with you know, 579 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: with marijuana. You know, the fact that it's UM, you know, 580 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: still federally classified as such, it makes it difficult to 581 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: study the benefits. Let's talk about you know the people 582 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: that you're employing, right, because you've got to be employing 583 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, several different people and and you know, has 584 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: that man impact Are you feeling like that the industry 585 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: is is I don't I don't think any There's not 586 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 1: very many people that are keeping up with you in 587 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: my opinion, right, So do you guys have a huge 588 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: line of people or is it a smaller in house? 589 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: And how big? How many acres are you guys operating with? Yeah? 590 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: So the farm so the farm is actually our farm 591 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: is called j D Farms and the the Eaton Hemp is 592 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: the brand. So they're they're they're related obviously, and we're 593 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: vertically integrated, but they're distinct in many ways. So our 594 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: farm is three thousand acres. I think we're the largest 595 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: organic farm in New York. UM. We also have a 596 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: large grass bet organic dairy. I think we are the 597 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: primary producers from Maple Hill, So we do a lot 598 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 1: more than hemp. Hep is hemp is one part of 599 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: a very uh, you know, diverse ecosystem that we've created. 600 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: UM and everything is sort of biodynamic. Everything that we 601 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: you know, that gets uh that we produce on the 602 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: farm kind of gets put back in. And so we 603 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: have a staff of about twelve given mind us you know, 604 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: seasonal work and whatnot at the farm, and then we 605 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: have about seven or eight right now in at eaton 606 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: Hemp and so we're you know, we're in and mean, 607 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: but you know, I think over this this next year 608 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 1: or so, we will certainly look to uh to grow 609 00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: both sides.

You know a lot of and 651 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 1: I know I understand full spectrum, but a lot of 652 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 1: people that are buying products these days they don't realize it. 653 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: And this isn't no shot to anybody. But the CBD 654 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: companies out there are fast food and what I mean 655 00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: by that is and I want to say ninety, let's 656 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: just say sixty because I don't want to hurt people's feelings. 657 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: But what I mean fast food is they're just taking CBD, 658 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 1: and the CBD might be from China and imported in 659 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: and and it's not really tested the proper ways. It 660 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: hasn't been regulated properly, it doesn't go through the full 661 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: spectrum process, so you don't even get the benefits of it. 662 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: And then so now you've got people trying it and 663 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't even do anything for him. So they're sitting 664 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: there going, I've tried that stuff. It sucks. So the 665 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: bad tasted nothing, did nothing for them, did nothing for me. 666 00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 1: And there's and it's a disservice to the industry and 667 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: it's actually what's created a lot more of a of 668 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 1: a murky kind of industry, because it's why the FDA 669 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: has been a little bit slow to to formally amplud 670 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: it um because there's a lot of schlock up there. 671 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of people who who, like you said, 672 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: they're bringing stuff in from from China and and from 673 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 1: you know, outside the US. That's UM. And they're producing 674 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: it in ways they're adding chemicals or taking out certain things, 675 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: but ever knowing it and and and it is, it 676 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: is a very large percent of the industry, and so 677 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 1: it's UM. I hope that that shakes out over time 678 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: and sort of the players who are doing this they 679 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: right away are are are least then it's Dan Dulgent 680 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: eating hip dot com is the website.

That's the problem with with with 783 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: having hemp legal but still kind of classifying marijuana is 784 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: is you know, they smelled their hempen marijuana are two 785 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 1: different varieties of the same family, so you know, it's 786 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: they're all cannabis um and so they look like they 787 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: smell a like, so you know, it's it's it's hard 788 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 1: to distinguish. And unfortunately that type of stuff happens, and 789 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: that's our shame and it and and the fact that 790 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: it just dragged on. I mean that that was the 791 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: real shame of it. That they didn't say, Okay, you know, 792 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: I see the providence of where this is. It's a himp, 793 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, testing it or all that sort of stuff. 794 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: But ultimately I think, uh, you know, it came out 795 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 1: in their favor. But even though he lost his crop 796 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,760 Speaker 1: and couldn't use use the himp and everything, that's made 797 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: me sad for the guy. Was almost like, dude, there's 798 00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 1: all his money and now you guys kept it too 799 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: long and he can't even use this product to make money. Now. 800 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: Is that there's a lawsuit there for sure. And the 801 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 1: crop is in is in your Your crop is in 802 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: UM in New York? Yeah, so most most well so, yes, 803 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 1: we grow mostly at our farm, but because of weather 804 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: volatility and climate change, really can't. Yeah, we really don't. 805 00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: Don't want to put all of our eggs in one basket, 806 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: and so we partner with other organic farmers around the country. 807 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: So we're all us grown, but we work with other 808 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: organic farmers who grow to the same level of standards 809 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 1: that we do. UM. But you know that's that has 810 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: a lot to do with just diversifying your supply chains 811 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,799 Speaker 1: as you Yeah, because when you said that, I was thinking, 812 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, hard weather hard. Yeah, the weather in New 813 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: York is no joke. I mean, you know, and you 814 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: could actually, I'm sure you guys possibly have times where 815 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: you can lose your whole crop if if the season 816 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: comes too early. Yeah. So the second year that we 817 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: grew the first year we grew about thirty acres just 818 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: as a trial, and we had a bumper crop means 819 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: we had a very high yield. The second year we 820 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 1: did about a hundred acres and I think we got 821 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: almost nothing because it was just a crazy day lous 822 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: of rain, and then there was a drought. And that's 823 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,879 Speaker 1: when we realized, okay, um, you know, a farm could 824 00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:52,319 Speaker 1: survive small mistakes, but not big ones. And I think 825 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, you realize you really need to have diversity 826 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: in your supply. Sure that look in his face when 827 00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: he's like, oh that that was the film. It's real 828 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: life where you're a farmer, you know, and you know 829 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,440 Speaker 1: they're yelling at the sky there's nothing. Yeah, you're not 830 00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,719 Speaker 1: like one person you can yell at like damn it, 831 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: you why did you do this? Yeah? I mean, you know, 832 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: I've heard of other nature. I've heard of hail coming 833 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: in and hale just you know, only wiping out you know, farms, 834 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: And I mean so you know, the life of a farmer. 835 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: You know, I think again, people think with their money 836 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 1: receptors on versus their heart and and and the and 837 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: the know how of what they're really going through. And 838 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: so that money clicks in the gear and you just 839 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: do math and you're going, oh my god, it's gonna 840 00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,319 Speaker 1: kill it. It's gonna be great. And you have no 841 00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,480 Speaker 1: idea where you're gonna sell it, how you're gonna get 842 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,879 Speaker 1: to the crop, how it's really gonna play out. I mean, 843 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,759 Speaker 1: I've been in crops myself and grown for for several years, 844 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 1: and like you said, you know, the first one it's 845 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: like boom, You're like, oh my gosh, and you are 846 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 1: there that second one and went boop, and you're just like, 847 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: what happened?

It's funny you say that, because 900 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 1: when I think of the first time I smoked weed, 901 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: my story goes I remember smoking with my older brothers 902 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 1: and listening to the Double Dutch Bus, and it's like 903 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: I knew what song was on the very first time 904 00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: I smoked weed. Granted I was six years old, And 905 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: how I remember that, I just do. It was a 906 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 1: double Dutch Bus and I was sitting there smoking to 907 00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: joint in the front room. It's like, so funny. Music 908 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: goes hand in hand and my book as well, with 909 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people smoking. Now, did you get high 910 00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: the first time you smoke? I'd like to say that 911 00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,880 Speaker 1: I did, But you know, I don't think not, no, 912 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 1: not the way that I think I would know it 913 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: now looking back, Um, you know, I think, but then 914 00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,840 Speaker 1: I think slowly you get really high. Um, you know, 915 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 1: it's sort of a curve, right, It's like and you 916 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,840 Speaker 1: start realizing, all right, this is what you know. And also, 917 00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, back then, I don't think we had the 918 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,560 Speaker 1: same strength of strains that that we have now. So 919 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,920 Speaker 1: it's different is a big difference. How about you, Joe, 920 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,760 Speaker 1: do you remember getting high the first time? It's funny 921 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,920 Speaker 1: you say that. I feel like I got high as 922 00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: a kite because I remember being so young and dancing 923 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: and then continuing to smoke. But I remember that first time. 924 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm so vividly because my older brother's friends, he was sixteen, 925 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: I was six and I was smoking. The double edge 926 00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,760 Speaker 1: bus was going on and they were giving me money, 927 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: and I remember just being happy and as a kite, 928 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:11,080 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, and it's such a 929 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,360 Speaker 1: young memory. And even to go deeper of how I remember, 930 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: I remember going to therapy and going deep into therapy 931 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: and like going back to that moment in life to 932 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: try to shake some of these demons out of my 933 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: way of thinking. And I went back there and I 934 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,360 Speaker 1: still go back there when I went to therapy, and 935 00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: I still remember being high, and it was a happy 936 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: moment for me. It wasn't bad, you know. That's what's 937 00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,239 Speaker 1: funny about it. For for me, it was it was 938 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, my my first time was my but I 939 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: had a little friend named Dante, and he was like 940 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: the young, the young homie in the neighborhood, you know, 941 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: and he came up on his bike and he was like, 942 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: come on, let's go to you know, We're gonna go 943 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,239 Speaker 1: to my house.
