Because 54 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 5: I say the quad with the skateboard in there, there's 55 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 5: nothing like growing up smoking some weed and growing on 56 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 5: the skateboards. Or you probably skateboarded before you even smoked weed, 57 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 5: as most kids probably did. But I want to go 58 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 5: back to early Craig days. First off, did you grow 59 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 5: up in the Humboldt County area? 60 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 7: Now? I grew up just a little bit north of Atlanta, 61 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 7: and then right when I turned eighteen, I came out 62 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 7: to California because of skateboarding, and then so I came 63 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 7: to San Francisco and then quickly learned about Humboldt and 64 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 7: I was like, well skateboarding and we. 65 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 8: Sign me come mom. 66 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 5: There and so match exactly. So you got to go 67 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 5: to Humble. What's the first company that you opened up? 68 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 5: As you have a grow, you have a dispensary, you 69 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 5: have a distribution, walk us through that. 70 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, the first company was a Tory movement, which is 71 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 7: still around, but that was our skateboard wheel brand that 72 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 7: we started. But we also started making hemp clothing when 73 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 7: we started that company in nineteen ninety eight. So I 74 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 7: started making hemp clothing at that time, late nineteen ninety 75 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 7: eight and just brought that from the East Coast, actually 76 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 7: started in Athens, Georgia, and brought that up to Humble 77 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 7: where we were able to tap into the you know, 78 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 7: it was mostly indoor home residential grows back then, but 79 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 7: also there was really good opportunity with economic development being 80 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 7: such a small area, so I was able to get 81 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 7: a loan. I was only twenty one years old at 82 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 7: the time, so I was able to get a loan 83 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 7: through the economic development and growing a little two to 84 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 7: four lighter and stepping that up over those years. But 85 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 7: it all started kind of with the skateboarding and the 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 7: hemp clothing. 87 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: Craig, Did you pay the loan back? 88 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 7: I did. 89 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: Just check. 90 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 7: Years old for another loan with the same agency last week. 91 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 9: So you were you were a young kid when you 92 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 9: were getting into all these business ventures. I can only 93 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 9: imagine that there was a lot of legal procedures and 94 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 9: legal matters that you needed to tackle. How did you 95 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 9: handle that with getting attorneys? How many attorneys did you 96 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 9: go through? 97 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 7: Well, honestly, I went and bought a Nolo book on forming. 98 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 9: A yea, I actually did that that first company. 99 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 7: Actually, I actually had the time, and I was young 100 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 7: and read and uh forma corporation had run through a 101 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 7: few attorneys, but I pretty much did it all on 102 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 7: my own back then. I have a lot more attorneys 103 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 7: now these days. 104 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 6: I bet, I bet you do. Well you had you now? 105 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 9: Were you ever concerned with the criminal side or the 106 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 9: crimes federally that you were actually committing committing It's true. 107 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 9: I mean there's you know, the Feds are out there, 108 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 9: the Feds just what are they just? 109 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: Uh with the lawsuit right with. 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 10: California And yeah, the dj served the bc S with 111 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 10: subpoenas for information on licensed entities including manifests and all 112 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 10: kinds of good stuff. 113 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 6: How do you feel about that? How did you feel 114 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 6: about it. 115 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 9: In the beginning, knowing that you were going into that realm. 116 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 7: Well, I knew it was part of the part of 117 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 7: the play. You know, you got to take the chances. 118 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 7: You got to be smart. You gotta have a couple 119 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 7: of different burner phones. You're real careful about how you operate, allegedly. 120 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 9: You know. 121 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 7: Still when I drive, I'm looking every which way every time, 122 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 7: setting cruise control, just being really cautious about how you operate. 123 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 7: But you don't really get too far if you don't 124 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 7: push the envelopes. They had to push those envelopes, and 125 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 7: luckily I only went to jail a few times for 126 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 7: really short periods. 127 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: That's what I was. 128 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 7: We would get you get caught slipping every once in 129 00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 7: a while. 130 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 6: I mean, back in the day before regulations. 131 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 10: We would tell people when they came in and wanted 132 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 10: to start a cannabis business. You know, they thought it 133 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 10: was all easy, and we actually had as I had 134 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 10: a mom from Coda to Kazk come in one time. 135 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 6: She wanted to. 136 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 10: Start delivery service and she thought it was going to 137 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 10: be super simple. And I said, I'll tell you what, 138 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 10: stand up turn around, put your hands behind your back, 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 10: and then put cuffs on you, because that's what it 140 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 10: is now, it's a crime. First, defend it later back 141 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 10: before regulations and she promptly and she promptly ran out 142 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 10: of the office. So yeah, back then was you had 143 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 10: one foot in the felony door before regulations hit. Now 144 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 10: you got to sleep a. 145 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 6: Little easier, cost a little more, more. 146 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 10: Attorneys on staff, but in the regulatory process, at least 147 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 10: you're most likely not going to get hit by the Feds. 148 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 10: Although there's still there's still no protection. There's still no 149 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 10: protection right now. The only protection is for medical and 150 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 10: they're trying to extend that to adult use, which the 151 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 10: House of Representatives have passed an amendment to extend that 152 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 10: protection to all state sanctioned cannabis businesses. But like you 153 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 10: did last year, it's gonna probably the Senate. Don't believe 154 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 10: it until the the Senate would have done it already. 155 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 10: The Senate's not going to do it in a million 156 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 10: years until this November. If it flips Democrat, I think 157 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 10: we're going to see the doors open up and the 158 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 10: Feds take action because the Democrats have already done that 159 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 10: at the House level. Now the Senate has to get involved, 160 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 10: and if they both agree, it doesn't matter what Biden 161 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,679 Speaker 10: fucking thinks, it's gonna happen. 162 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 9: What was it like that first time you were arrested? 163 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 9: You mentioned you did some jails, got caught a couple 164 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 9: of times. Tell us about the first, the first incident of. 165 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 6: How your cherry dealing with the cops. 166 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 4: You used the strip. 167 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 7: It's a good story actually. So it was nineteen ninety nine, 168 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 7: is October sometimes right around a friend's birthday, and so 169 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 7: I only knew Arcada City, the city and Humble and 170 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 7: to San Francisco.

Nice That one I 216 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 7: forgot to answer my pounds back one. I wasn't gonna 217 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 7: mess with it, but right after the second one, I 218 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 7: was like, damn. 219 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 4: Yeah. 220 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 10: But even then, even then, you've got charge it to 221 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 10: the game.

If if you 224 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 10: had it individually, it might be hard to get that back, 225 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 10: you could, but if you were under you know, operating 226 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 10: a cooperative collectively properly like we did with my kid 227 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 10: the second time.

That's the best 230 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 10: feeling in the world is getting it out of the evidibles. 231 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 6: That was awesome, you know. 232 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Craig, let me ask you this. I mean, what 233 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: you're operating? 234 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: Yea washerman, the real Craig gently Yeah, Craig, you know, 235 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,839 Speaker 3: operating a fifteen hundred square foot and up to thirty 236 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 3: four thousand square feet. I mean, what kind of staff 237 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 3: do you employee to operate these kind of a facility. 238 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you've got to have a ton of people 239 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,599 Speaker 3: running around for you, and let's talk about that or 240 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:16,719 Speaker 3: is it just you just out there? 241 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: Yeah? The heymn of cannabis. 242 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 7: Well, it's hard because I have a management company that 243 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 7: manages all of my employees throughout the four or five 244 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 7: different entities, three main cannabis entities. So I have nearly 245 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty plus or minus employees on average 246 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 7: right now. So we do have a forty nine thousand 247 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 7: square foot of outdoor cultivation that takes about a full 248 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 7: time crew about twelve people out there, and then July August, 249 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 7: when we're harvesting and replanning for the second runner like that, 250 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 7: we got to bring in an additional ten to twelve people. 251 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 7: And then what really takes a lot of people is 252 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,239 Speaker 7: the manufacturing of the products, you know, process saying into packaging, 253 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 7: getting stuff distribution ready. 254 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 10: So how many medium licenses do you have? 255 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 7: You're only allowed to have one medium license. So I 256 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 7: only have one medium license and then an array of 257 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 7: small lights. 258 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 10: That's what I meant, that's what the ten thousand and under. Yes, yeah, 259 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 10: so you must have what twenty of those? 260 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 7: No, I have one medium and then sit small I 261 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 7: believe you know. Look, I'm not in that particular property. 262 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 7: It's you get confused between the county and the state. 263 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 10: Gotcha, gotcha tell our listeners how difficult it is and 264 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 10: how long it took you to go through the process 265 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 10: to get actually licensed. 266 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 7: It's extremely difficult. I mean really, it starts at your 267 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 7: local municipality, So it's kind of depends on how hard 268 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 7: and difficult they make it humble, you know, I would 269 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 7: say it was kind of the leader in the pack 270 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 7: in terms of opening up life in Zane. Not that 271 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 7: they're easy. But what kind of catapulted me and I 272 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 7: was really a licensing scheme, was because the property that 273 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 7: I had bought in twenty fourteen had already been visited 274 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 7: by what they called the WET Team, which was, you know, 275 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 7: an array of different agencies that were going to bust 276 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 7: cannabis projects. So they actually came out to this property 277 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 7: before I bought it and then gave us a list 278 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 7: of violations, so that already started on all the fund 279 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 7: land and use aspects of it. So I was kind of, 280 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 7: you know, it's hard to determine whether to go legal 281 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 7: or not, but I was like, well, I'm just going 282 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 7: to go all in. I see that people are making 283 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 7: a living in Colorado. It seems like there's opportunity, so 284 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 7: not going for it. 285 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 10: Not as much in the old days, but you still 286 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360 Speaker 10: make money. Not like the old days though. 287 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 9: No, but you know it's you're not looking over your shoulder. 288 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 7: I like, I like being home and knowing that when 289 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 7: I hear a helicopter, I don't need to worry about it. 290 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 7: There you goes lying down and picking me up. 291 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: We're talking to Craig. 292 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: The Jetti out of Humboldt County is the CEO of 293 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 5: Talking Trees Farms, so Tory Wellness High great distribution, creation, skateboards. 294 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 5: I want to go back to when you went there 295 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 5: at twenty years old.

I've been up here 308 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 7: and doing producing products that most are hard to find. 309 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 7: So the brand satry movement was pretty popular. And then 310 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 7: you know, you just be in the area, you get 311 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 7: to know people, get to know the guys at the 312 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 7: growth stores. You know, it's a totally different world from 313 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 7: when I first moved here to now. I mean, back 314 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 7: in the day, you didn't want to park in the 315 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 7: hydro store parking lot, you would like send a brend 316 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 7: in that then doing the work, you know, someone that 317 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 7: because you always felt like the cops were while you know, 318 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 7: it was exposure that you want to be careful of. 319 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 7: So you you know, even up until a few years ago, 320 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 7: mutual friends or you know, my kids, teachers and stuff, 321 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 7: it was all kind of still hush hush, no one 322 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 7: really knew what was going on. But now that it's 323 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 7: you know, all out in the open, at least legally local, 324 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 7: state level. You know, now it's just kind of an 325 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 7: open book and like, here's what, here's what's going on. 326 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 7: You want a job, We're still hiring. 327 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 10: Isn't it crazy that the I mean, well we're still 328 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 10: trying to change the stigma of people who smoke and 329 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 10: stoner mentality and all that stuff. I mean, it's still 330 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 10: is amazing to the degree that it is now acceptable 331 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 10: when you say, yeah, I'm in the cannabis space. I mean, 332 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 10: people don't really blink twice like they used to. 333 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's cool. 334 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 7: Now oh yeah, I mean I have landlords that way 335 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 7: people seven years ago like no way, we won't rent 336 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 7: to a cannabis business.

I just 548 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 7: ask you go ahead now tough. I mean we probably 549 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 7: got about you know, right now, we're already harvesting quite 550 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 7: a lot because we do two runs of light deep 551 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 7: in most of the gardens nice, so we probably got 552 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 7: over six hundred pounds ratey to process. And that's the 553 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 7: bottleneck is getting a process, especially right now with COVID 554 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 7: and everything. We had to lay off quite a bit 555 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 7: of people at processing and now we have to do 556 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 7: the social distancing.
