Please go right into some news because 43 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: I know you're waiting to talk. More importantly, we've got 44 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 1: a representative Republican out of Virginia who's urging the governor 45 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: to veto a legal a marijuana legalization bill. He's calling this. 46 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 1: What the guy says, this is how backwards people still are. 47 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: Virginia should not undermine the rule of law, contribute to 48 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: more Virginians using recreational drugs, place further unnecessary strain on 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: families who want their children to grow up in drug 50 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: free environment or enter a new business venture for which 51 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: they may have many negative consequences that outweigh the potential 52 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: positive revenue to the Commonwealth. Now, what's really funny is 53 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: he says this ship and then on the on the 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: heels of him saying that the d e A reports 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: out of a twenty National Drug Threat Assessment report that 56 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: since two thousand thirteen up to the present, there has 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: been an eighty percent decline in border cannabis busts. So 58 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: what's happening is the cartel, the crime all that that 59 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: was included when when you when you're smuggling anything from 60 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: one country to another. It's not good. That has dropped 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: eighty per cent, even though it continues to be illegal federally. 62 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: It's still in the states that have legalized cannabis in 63 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: one form or another, crime is way way down. And 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: what's funny there is they indicate to that marijuana from 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: Mexico is typically classified as quote unquote commercial, greater quote 66 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: unquote low grade marijuana, lesser in quality than the marijuana 67 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: produced in the United States. And they mentioned Canada as 68 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: reformers predicted when the when given the option, it's cannabis 69 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: not marijuana, consumers should well if they called marijuana to 70 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: as wefor when when given the consumers choice, they choose 71 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: cannabis to be grown in America, So no one's buying 72 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: any you know, in the United States, no one is 73 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: buying imported weed and none well let me let me 74 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: tell you this. Disagree to legally regulate cannabis has, as expected, 75 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: let to a precipitous drop in demand for important cannabis 76 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: and significantly disrupted the illicit cannabis trade in Mexico. These 77 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: are really important additional state. It's important that additional states 78 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: continue the cannabis decrimination policies and legalize it and regulate 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: cannabis in the marketplace, which will continue to make our streets, 80 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: our cities, our states a much safer place, you know, 81 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Craig listen, I just want to go into that. I'm 82 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: going to say that, yes, I know that there's a 83 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: decrease in cannabis coming from Mexico and other countries because 84 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: you we haven't more of an abundance here now, and 85 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: the quality level is a lot better because we have 86 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: our uh you know, organized growing companies here and we 87 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: were legalized, we have we have new standards. But now 88 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: what I what I do know is that cannabis coming 89 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: from Mexico as those standards come come by and they 90 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: start to replicate what we're doing, and they mirror us, 91 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: if you will. I don't think it's gonna be a 92 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: huge difference once it lands in the stores because right now, 93 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: the reason the decrease is there is because it's not accessible. 94 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: It's not that it's you know, it's not that the 95 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: guy that's in Los Angeles where ninety I mean, let's 96 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: call it of the population is Hispanic or African American, 97 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: right you know, you're looking at an influx of people 98 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: that are going to purchase cannabis from Mexico because they 99 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: do want to say, I disagree, it's not available. It's 100 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: not available. That's why it's it's not available cannabis from Mexican. 101 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: California grown cannabis is abundantly available, whether it's either in 102 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: the illicit market or the regular market, it's in abundant 103 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: for now. We don't want to buy low grade. I 104 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: think what Craig saying, and I actually agree with one down. 105 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: I think no, no, But Craig saying, and from what 106 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: he's reading in the story is they don't want to buy, 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 1: you know, bad cannabis. So the high quality cannabis is 108 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: definitely in the United States, and more specifically California is 109 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: hands down the leaders. Why but I believe I and 110 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: I think what Blues trying to say, if I made 111 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: for now, it is. But with Mexico, with what they're doing. 112 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: And by the way, Craig, you know when we said 113 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: this the other day and you and your brother didn't 114 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: think we were onto something. When we have that inside 115 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: info about Mexico going legal with President Fox and it 116 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,559 Speaker 1: looks like it's going down quicker than it happened today. 117 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: That was no insight, and so I've been following that 118 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: for a while. I had I actually did something with 119 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: the representative to Fox. So it was very insited a 120 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: month ago. I believe they had their vote. I think 121 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: it was today, Well it was, it was the other day. 122 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: But yes, So it's not that they're gonna have their 123 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: own huge market. We're not gonna get. I mean they're 124 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, like Blue knows, no matter whether it's coming 125 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: from here to there or there to here, there's gonna 126 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: be criminals. We're gonna try to do that, but the 127 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: demand just isn't gonna be there. I think they're gonna 128 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: start growing better cannabis in Mexico and they're gonna get 129 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: some good growers out there. They're gonna get some people 130 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: are going, Okay now that we're gonna be targeted as 131 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: look at cannabis is coming from Maico. We're gonna one 132 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: of the well known growers here is already in Mexico working. Yes, dude, 133 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: Bret's been You just met Breath the other day. He's 134 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: a great grower. He's been growing for years. He created 135 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the uh I want to say the either the great paper. Okay, 136 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: which was a huge strain. Okay, and and listen, I'm 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: telling you guys, it's the reason that the decline is 138 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: not because they're not producing it, because they're not producing 139 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: it on a legal level where it's being imported NNB 140 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: distributed through the stores. But once the federal guidelines open 141 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: up and it's coming in from Mexico, just like your tomatoes, 142 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: just like yourn every mixing apples and wait, wait, Blue Blue, 143 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: you're mixing apples and oranges. If you're saying that if 144 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: it becomes legal, when it's already to import for anywhere 145 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: and he ain't any country, then yeah, there might be competition. 146 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: And if it's that good and it's and it costs 147 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: and it's reasonable, then I see it, then it might 148 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: come in. And that's what I think is going to No. No, 149 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: that That's how I'm saying, And that's what they say. 150 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: And not only that, it's gonna be cheaper to grow 151 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: in Mexico because they can pay the folks for a 152 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: lot less one time. So the cannibists is gonna come 153 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: down we're here and be at a better price for 154 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: people out here. What I'm saying, it's easy to say 155 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: there there's a decline from from Mexico. We it's illegal, 156 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: because it's illegal, and it's success why there's a decline. 157 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: There's a illegal for how many years? But never and 158 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: then we're was because it's all the point the decline 159 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: is because of the rise of the legalization and decriminalization 160 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: of cannabis across across our country. Yes, that's what That's 161 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: exactly what I'm saying. That's why there's a decline, because 162 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: it's not there's no demand and the illegal weed or 163 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: cannabis across the border. Yes, I thoroughly agree. I'm just 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: saying that. The way I heard it was a little different. 165 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: It was more like people don't want to smoke weed 166 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: from Mexico. Cannabis your cannabis from Mexico, and and and 167 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: so my thought is is once they established and they 168 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: gear up, and they produce quality cannabis that's licensed and 169 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: it's coming across the border the way it's supposed to, 170 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: and it's you know, bagged and tagged and and and 171 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: and and lab test it. Once it does that, I 172 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: believe the market's going to open wide up. And because 173 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: again the support, the support will be will be in 174 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: cannabis for people from Mexico and for that matter, Africa. 175 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: If there was cannabis coming from Africa, you know, I 176 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: guarantee you there'll be a lot of people that would 177 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: support it, you know. And so that's all. And I 178 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 1: know I don't disagree with what you're saying. I think 179 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: we're saying the same thing. I think you guys are 180 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: talking about a different story, that's all. And I think 181 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: that I love what you're saying, Blue, because I do 182 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: truly believe once it goes not only federally legal, now 183 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: that's step to the next global globally leegal and when 184 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: we could start country across country lines, I gutly believe 185 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: that Mexico is going to produce a quality product and 186 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: using the terms that Blue just use and kind of 187 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: like what we talked about the other day on the show, 188 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: just like they do do great tomatoes, great lettuce, great 189 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: fruits and vegetables because their soils golden. And they're gonna 190 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: get their their cannabis because they're already coming here to 191 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: California and grabbing up some of the great growers, so 192 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna know how to do and to think Craig, yeah, 193 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: that the regulations and we can say that for another story. 194 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: Of course, what I wanted to get to is that 195 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: Senator or a bloomin Hour who uh the woman iman 196 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: and talk writer to the spending Bill said he thinks 197 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: that Cannabi's banking will pass when relatively early in the 198 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: session of Congress. We only can hope and pray that's 199 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 1: true and accurate statement. You know what, well, once we 200 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 1: open up the banking, oh my god, it is gonna 201 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: be such a relief to our clients who work in 202 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: the related market get raped on bank fees. You know, 203 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: have the deal in cash robberies, the issues open that uh, 204 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: that earl there can get this done. So Craig, it's 205 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 1: funny because I got a phone call earlier today from 206 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: a processor who said they could actually do processing for 207 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,199 Speaker 1: penn debbit again at the point of sale at dispatches. 208 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: I'm like, you guys are able to get that done again. 209 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Remember it was there and then it got canceled and 210 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: I gave you guys a story. So when I got 211 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: this call today and as you say this, it's moving 212 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: more so in that direction because that means that some 213 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: banks are really loosey en up saying we're gonna allow 214 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: this to happen now, regardless of what Visa is gonna 215 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: say to us, or what Master Car's gonna say to us, 216 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 1: even though it's on the debit rail only, which I've 217 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: explained on this show several times. Well, but still it's 218 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: makes sense the finn Cent rules apply and if the 219 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: bank leaves are dealing with someone legal. Yeah, So to 220 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: to elude more on this, and what I'm going to is, 221 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: I looked, I told them to send me the application, right, 222 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: so I looked at the application day it's asking for 223 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: the legal business name, meaning the dispensary. So now the 224 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: banks taking it and the license ever, So that's a 225 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: great sign you guys. Before I used to be shady 226 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: ways of getting not your legal speci I've said this 227 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: before thought and you know what, when we come back 228 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: from this break, I'll finish that thought. Perfect Cannabis Talk 229 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 1: one on one. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one. 230 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: That was amazing, Craig. You know you said we're gonna 231 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: come back to it, so let's just listen back to 232 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: what your thoughts were on then. So, well, what I 233 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: was saying is people forget and I learned this from 234 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: a couple of seminars on the financial crime unit and 235 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm on into the financial area. I 236 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: don't know those rules or the banking rules, but what 237 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: I do recall is that is long it's called know 238 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: your customer, and that's what I took away from the 239 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: seminar that I attended. Know your customers. So the bank 240 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: if they can show that they know it's legal in 241 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: the state that they're in, and they that's why charge 242 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: higher fees if they're going to accept the cannabis businesses, 243 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: uh money is because they have to oversee it makes 244 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: you compliant, and it seems like more because there's such 245 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: a volume of compliant licensed operators now, I think the 246 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: banks are realizing they're gonna be losing a lot of 247 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: money if they don't allow this to go through. So 248 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't surprise me. You know, we just need the 249 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: fens to just finally, finally say it's okay rather than 250 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: doing this you know, hula hoop er back flips in 251 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: order to you know, but but you have to be honest. 252 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: That's why the bank it's on there. You don't put 253 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: down anything. Then you know, Joe dispenseree license number whatever 254 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: it is, and then they're gonna allow you to bank 255 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: with them, or they're not. And it still hurts my heart, 256 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: Craig that what you said is still factual for everything 257 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: processing wise, whether it's getting a bank account, processing money. 258 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: And that's the higher rate that you just mentioned that 259 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: you took away from the seminar, and that's what's out 260 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: there everywhere. And not only it's higher rate for fucking 261 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: putting money in your own bank, higher rate for taxes, higher. 262 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: It just gets so much higher when you know it's 263 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: quote unquote legal. It's that. Come on, guys, just give 264 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: these cats a break. This criminal taxation needs an investigation. Yeah, dude, 265 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's becoming. Criminal taxation is a beautiful 266 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: term to use. Blue Okay, it's it's just too much. 267 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: But it's on the financial I mean even the stuff 268 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: that I Steally did, like, yeah, it's gonna cost him 269 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: about five bucks to get this done a transaction. I'm 270 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: still and when he told me that, I'm like, Okay, 271 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: I get it, but still funk, that's expensive to dollars. 272 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: I mean right now, I don't get it wrong. And 273 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: a t M. But but if you if you actually 274 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: go to just a store and you swipe it, right, 275 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: it could be from thirty at some stores. Right, well, 276 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: it depends on your credit card. Hold listen to this. 277 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: This is gonna be something that ree is gonna be 278 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: a bill here in California. And this is this is 279 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: kind of breaking news. Um, it's gonna be it's gonna 280 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: be put on a ballot in two Okay, it's gonna 281 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: try to overturn PROM sixty four. And if we overturned 282 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: this is some of the This is some of the 283 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: rules that are in the new initiative by the people 284 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: for the people, remember the people. A majority of people 285 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: voted for for legalization of cannabis in the state of California, 286 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: yet less than a third of the cities allowed. Doesn't 287 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: doesn't That's just doesn't make sense. You have a majority 288 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: of the fair state, but yet only a third of 289 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: the cities allow. It makes no sense. So what this 290 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: initiative would do. It would remove local control over cannabis businesses, 291 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: meaning they could say you have to be in this area, 292 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: but you they don't say it's banned. That would get 293 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: rid of all the bands period. It would require local 294 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: jurisdictions to treat cannabis businesses equally to non cannabis businesses. 295 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: What are the bands? The bands, I don't understand. The 296 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: cities don't allow it, so no, it'll it will no 297 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: longer allow cities. No, no, Canada remove the bands. Understanding 298 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: exactly correct. And then it would use Assembly Assembly member 299 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: tings bail that we had talked about before on concentration limits, 300 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: like they have to allow so many cannabis businesses as 301 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: they have alcohol businesses. So that's a lot of cannabi 302 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: businesses because alcohol liquor stores are corner. That goes well, 303 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: that goes back the biggest, biggest things. One of the 304 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: biggest things is it would reduce the excise tacts from 305 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: fifteen to five percent. It would all take away ear 306 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: marks for the HP. What does that mean ear marks? 307 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: It would repeal. It would repeal the cultivation tax and 308 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: the state and local government would split the five eighty 309 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 1: to the state, to the city. The city not levy 310 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: any further taxes. Remember right now we're getting hit with 311 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: a cultivation tax that gets put pushed up the chain. 312 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: We're getting the percent tax from the retailer to the distributor, 313 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: and then we're getting another fifteen percent percent tax from 314 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 1: the retailer when he sells it to the consumer. So 315 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: we're getting effectively tax like this would drop the tax 316 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: down to five cent. No state and local taxes where 317 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: they try to get their six percent of your gross 318 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: they try to get five percent of your growth through 319 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: these through the cities. Right now, businesses availably able to 320 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: stay in business if you're a regulated cannabis business, Well, 321 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: let me ask you this. You're just some of this 322 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: sound contained in this And what we'll do is we'll 323 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: report back on this more uh next show regarding uh 324 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: more details of what's in this initiative that we're gonna 325 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: start talking about more and more as as it comes 326 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: to fruition.

But let me let me let me say this, Craig, 331 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: does this sound like that your tobacco stores will be 332 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,439 Speaker 1: able to just sell cannabis? I mean, because that's what 333 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: it sounds like. No, No, that's not what it is. 334 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: It's you're still gonna you know, they're still gonna be. 335 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: You just apply for a cannabis license. You don't have 336 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: to go through all the jumps and hoops. It sounds 337 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: like it's like any other business right for business license 338 00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: that you got any you know, like any other business. 339 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: If you have construction, you got to have them in 340 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: the right spot, approval, local approval. But none of this, 341 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: you know, a hundred thousand dollar filing fee or million 342 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: dollars in your account, all this bullshit that a bond, Craig. 343 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: I got another question for you. Something that I heard 344 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: come out of your mouth that I didn't understand what 345 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: it was. And I don't know if you do, if 346 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: you're just reading this but you and I don't know 347 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: if I heard it correctly, But I heard earmarks for 348 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: c HP. Is that what I heard? You say? What? 349 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: What is that? Bro? I don't even understand that. That 350 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: that that's when when people who are invested in the 351 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: in law enforcement, because they had to get them on 352 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: board for sixty four, they would get a certain amount 353 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: out of the revenue from cannabis taxes, it would go 354 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: towards the c HP. Oh, so it's gonna be taken 355 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: away from the c HP then? Is what is that 356 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: what you're saying, correct, wouldn't any money having to go 357 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 1: from fifteen to five. There's only so much exactly somebody. 358 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: So the HP is getting there is taken away which 359 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: they don't need it from the cannabis tax. Well, I 360 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: feel this tax should be there to fund and all 361 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: these different things that might be under funder or whatnot, 362 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: because it's just making the illicit market, you know, blossom 363 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: because of this ridiculous amount of TAXI on the This 364 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: levels the playing field, just like it's leveled for tobacco, 365 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: just like it's leveled for alcohol. I mean, you know, 366 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: cause you about and as it's nice is it would 367 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: exempt right now, if you're a medical patient, you don't 368 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: have to pay the sales and use tax, which is 369 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: fairly low, but you still have to pay the fifteen 370 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: percent excise tax. Under this new initiative, medical cannabis would 371 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 1: be exempted from excise, local and use tax. I thought 372 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 1: it would be tax. You wouldn't have to pay any 373 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: taxes on it at all if you're a medical patient. Yeah, wow, 374 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: I I really like that. You know, I would like 375 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: to look into this, you know a little further.

So Wednesday marks an article from Health Day 407 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: News which I don't know who they are, but I 408 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: got the thing. They may be huge. Teenagers who vape 409 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: cannabis are more likely to wheeze and cough than those 410 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: smoking vape nicotine. Now, this new survey data reveals and 411 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: reports are that United States kids twelve to seventeen show 412 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: they have a higher risk of wheezing, suffering from dry 413 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: dry cough, and having sleep problems, uh speech and uh 414 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: speech impediments. Craig's laughing, Yeah, we're laughing. I'm thinking he 415 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: must be laughed at the same thing. I'm thinking. Wheezing 416 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: and vaping cannabis it creates. According to according to the 417 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: US Federal Founding Population Assumption down the tobacco and health studies. Now, now, listen, 418 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: the problem that I see with this right here, guys, 419 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: don't want to get your thought is it's from a 420 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 1: tobacco and health study company. So they're basically in what 421 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: they're saying right now. Yeah, And it kind of screws 422 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: me up because when I read it, I kind of 423 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: took it with the grain of salt. But it is 424 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: a study, and I don't know what they did that 425 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: would comes from. Yeah, but he studies back in the 426 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: back in the sixties that that cigarettes were fine for here. 427 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: But think about this, they're studying kids who are vaping 428 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: illegal products. Kids are getting illegal products. Of course they're 429 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: not safe. But as you said, you know bacco company Mark, 430 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: Mark's oldier brother, his other older brother, that's your older 431 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: brother too. You're such an asshole, kitty Kitty. But you know, 432 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: he had allergies. He was a wheezer. He had to 433 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: have his little thing. Is Inhaler did too, and he 434 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: never touched smoked nothing his entire life. And I had, well, 435 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: wait and I had I had asthma pretty bad as 436 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: a kid too. And I hadn't inhaler and and all 437 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: that stuff. And yeah, and you used cannabis and you 438 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: don't use have it anymore. Nope, it cured me. Study 439 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: I did it as a kid too. I remember having 440 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: to breathe into a bag. I remember being at church 441 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: one day and having an asthma attack and falling down 442 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: and they had to come and help me. All this stuff, 443 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: you know. But and you but good points as you 444 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: look at this survey, and not only that, I found 445 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: that story and I was looking at it too, and 446 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: that survey is pointing out so many random things about 447 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: Vapaing cannabis also increases teen's risk of sleep disordered by 448 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: wheezing by seventy one, speech limited due by wheezing by 449 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: nine after exercise. It's just crazy. But I've heard so 450 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: many doctors lately talking on Clubhouse about the benefits of 451 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: smoking cannabis and the benefits that it has four year 452 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: lungs and expanding and all this, all these benefits. Why 453 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: we didn't get COVID because but but one thing that 454 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: they did say that I just want to point out there, 455 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: that is is smoking and nicotine e cigarettes used. Using 456 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: those also increased risk for these indications of lung in 457 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: So it's not it's not better exactly. But but what 458 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: they're saying essentially is that the long term vape use, okay, 459 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: versus the short term cannabis use is the kids are 460 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: getting a cough or weeze, they're starting to have these symptoms. 461 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: But but but but here's the but here's the thought 462 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: it maybe you know, but here's the thought out there. 463 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Who funded the study, But who funded that it's based 464 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: on its from Michigan State University, Michigan State Universities, Uh, 465 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: you know who actually did it, but the tobacco Uh, 466 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: the guys from the tobacco company were behind it.

It's not like some catcher are doing well. 494 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: Don't get it twisted, but it's not like what these 495 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: numbers appear to be. They're paying so many people so 496 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: much stuff. People are making money and living and eating. 497 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: You know, they're not eating just some shred doing Okay, 498 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: don't get it twisted on. The people are also being 499 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 1: pushed out because they can't afford it, exactly. So it's 500 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: just not so like everyone's balling. Looking at seventeen point 501 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: five billion dollars, you must be killing it in the game. 502 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: It's a lot harder for a lot of people than 503 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: it as others. But some are doing well. So just 504 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 1: if you've got to hear how much taxes that has 505 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: to be paid here in California, we're talking hundreds of 506 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: thousands of dollars exactly. It's just it's ridiculous. So anyway, 507 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: the coronavirus was good for so many industries of course 508 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: and others, but the cannabis, uh, you know, it ruined 509 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: so many. It did really well. In was the breakout 510 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: year legal sales across the US. Now fifteen states allowed 511 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,719 Speaker 1: adult use, I know you love that term Mark and Craig, 512 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: thirty five allowed medical sales, and they hit a record 513 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: of seven teen point five billion, of forty six percent 514 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: increase from two thousand and nineteen. And that's because in 515 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: my well, it's because of both of those. I was 516 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna say, the real legal states that made it more 517 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: recreationals is the most of it. But most of the 518 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: sales growth came from adult use markets. That's what I 519 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: was alluding to, especially markets like Colorado, which grew sales 520 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: by twenty six percent to reach the two point two billion, 521 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: Which is dope for Colorado, because I want to see 522 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: Colorado succeed. Why because they were the first O G 523 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: s to make this happen captain and in America. So 524 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,479 Speaker 1: you know, you should do very well Colorado, even though 525 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: they're not doing this world with California. But an Oregon, 526 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: which saw exactly a lot, lot of bigger Oregon saw 527 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: sales hit one point one billion. Now that is an 528 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: increase over two thousand nineteen. According to the report published 529 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: by the b d s A, a cannabis sales data platform, 530 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: Emerging markets like Illinois, which expanded its medical cannabis market 531 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: to include adult use sales last year, saw the largest 532 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: dollar gain in raising by seven and eighty four million dollars. 533 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: Illinois cannabis market is now doing over one billion in sales. 534 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,120 Speaker 1: But killer CALLI baby. California, the country's largest cannabi us 535 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: economy at three point five billion dollars, increased sales by 536 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty six million dollars now when Florida 537 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: saw a four hundred and seventy three million dollar increase. 538 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: Another factor driving the industry growth is a simple one. 539 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: More people are consuming more cannabis than ever before. And 540 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: that's the fact we all know it. I gotta give 541 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: you these numbers because when I look at it and go, 542 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: is it going green? Of course it is people living 543 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: in the states that have legalized recreational sales use cannabis. 544 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: Do you hear that? You guys, people living in states 545 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: that have legalized recreational cannabis four use cannabis up from 546 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: you ready for this? It's not a big jump, but 547 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: it's still a jump. So it's still jumping up and moving, 548 00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, Clig you didn't hear this story the other day, 549 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: which was an anecdotal evidence of not everybody still knows 550 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: about cannabis. And Blue and I were out, We're going 551 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: to Beverly Hills to go to a cigar shop to 552 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: go hang out with a buddy, and we stopped and 553 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 1: eat and this lady walk saut and we helped her 554 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 1: with the door. She's with a cane and she was 555 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: a little older than you, Craig, maybe a few years, 556 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: who knows, but you know, an older woman. And I'm 557 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Anyhow, we we we asked her, 558 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, you have ever thought about using some CBD? 559 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: As I opened the door and I see her and 560 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,480 Speaker 1: she's walking the limp. She looked like I felt, you know, 561 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: saying my hips are hurting. She's walking and she goes, CBD, 562 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: what's that? And I'm like, what you meet?

When 566 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: more people realize it, it's gonna jump on. You have 567 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: a lot more room to jump. Well, Joe, I want 568 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: to I want to just drive home the point that 569 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: we we took some time to explain to her what 570 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: c was. We we took some time because she was like, oh, 571 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: that cannabis stuff. I don't do drugs, And I'm like, 572 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: and then at the same time she's saying, I gotta 573 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: take some percosets. Some of this I'm trying not to 574 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: take too many of them, and I'm going no, yeah, 575 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: And I'm literally looking at her like, you know exactly, 576 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, you're you're, you're she's talking about how you know, 577 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: it messes with her stomach, it doesn't allow her to 578 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,719 Speaker 1: use the restroom. Probably it has, you know, but if 579 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: I take too many, they make me feel woozy. And 580 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm going, you don't do drugs, but do drugs, but 581 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: you're taking opiates, you know what I mean? And and 582 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,320 Speaker 1: you don't realize again that you know this is this 583 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: is tipped for chat or is this reality? Like we're 584 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: sitting here going, gosh, you're gonna take all these drugs 585 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: that you that you think are good for you, but 586 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: you don't think the doctor said they were good, and 587 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: they were forced down by the pharmaceutical companies. And now 588 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: you've got cannabis and you're like, that's a drug. No, 589 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 1: that's a plant, sweetheart. And we had to explained it 590 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: to her, and we gave her a very you know, 591 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: not we didn't go too deep, but we gave her 592 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: enough information to where she said, I'm gonna go look 593 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: for some CBD and we said, just give it a shot. 594 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 1: You know so well, no, but she's part of the 595 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: support of how this growth is. And in California, the 596 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,920 Speaker 1: market penetration increased from thirty seven to thirty nine, so 597 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: it's only two percent here in California, which alludes to 598 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,680 Speaker 1: support this percentage. That well, I'm just going off of 599 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: what the story is going. That's what they report on. 600 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 1: But you know, and I think these stories seem to 601 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: be accurate, even though when we read a lot of things, 602 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's a story, I'm reporting it, and the 603 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 1: support it was that lady was the poll.
