And I know he's out 25 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: there doing a good job representing the team. Now Mark Washerman, 26 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: on the other hand, Now Mark is never here, so 27 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: it just doesn't even matter. But lately he's been here 28 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: more than me. Now check this out. Could you imagine 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: this guy?

Some cities are allowing the dispenser I mean 71 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: the dispensaries to deliver to their city, but not allowing 72 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: the city to have delivery services. What are your thoughts 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: out there, because I think there's plenty of people that 74 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: are on the medical side of cannabis that definitely need 75 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: delivery services, you know, I mean, and I think it's 76 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: it goes with just about everything now. I mean, you 77 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: think of Uber eats, you think about lift, you think 78 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: about you know, door dash um, you know, bug cars 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: and different things like that.

Because 82 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that that these guys aren't the 83 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: best in the game.

So that doesn't mean that they are the 92 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: best though, just because they have great advertising.

Uh 137 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: and so because when they say collective to me, it 138 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: reminds me of the older licensings that are no longer 139 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: in place.

You know, it's it's it's a it comes 144 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: in it. So that's definitely, um, you know, one of 145 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the older, older collectives as well. Keep that in mind. 146 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: These aren't the the newer licensed facilities we're talking when 147 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking about this, I'm talking about some older dispensaries 148 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: that have been in process and been in uh, that 149 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: were open previously before the license came in place.

So if it originated at 186 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: in San Diego, um, then it has to it has 187 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: to leave San Diego uh. And then um once it 188 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 1: leaves San Diego, you can drive it to l A. 189 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: You could drive it to Oakland, but it has to 190 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: leave one of the locations from that that day each 191 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: day from that that delivery service or that dispensary. Okay, 192 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: So that's very important to realize. And if you can 193 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: to get into the delivery service guys, I want you 194 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: to think of it like this. Yeah, I want you 195 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: to think of it like It's not easy to get 196 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: into any portion of this industry. But it is important 197 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: to understand that. You know, a lot of people try 198 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: to destroy your vision or your dreams by saying you 199 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: can't afford it or that you can't um achieve these goals. 200 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: And I only know that because I've heard it from 201 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: so many people, like tell me, hey, you know, you 202 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: can't you can't just open up a dispensary, or you 203 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: can't you know, because it costs millions of dollars, and 204 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: this and that. You know what, it may cost you 205 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: a million dollars and may cost you ten million dollars, 206 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, the only person 207 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: that can stop you from doing it is yourself. That 208 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, no money is going to stop anybody. This 209 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: is why they have self made millionaires all the time. 210 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: This is why people are very you know, entrepreneurs become 211 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: very successful. This is why people um you know, become 212 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: great and recognized, is because they don't give up. They 213 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: don't give up. You know a lot of don't understand that. 214 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: But I want you to sit back and think about 215 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: what your vision is and what your dream is and 216 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: your goals. And if your your choice is to go 217 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: out and be very successful in the cannabis industry or 218 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: open up your your own dispensary or create your own environment, 219 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: you have to do that. You don't just have to 220 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: listen to somebody that tells you all the time. Because 221 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,200 Speaker 1: we have guys on the show that something and say, oh, 222 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: you can't open up a dispensary. It's you just don't 223 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: have enough money. You know that. You know there's someone 224 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: says there, I only have twenty grand. Well, let me 225 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: tell you, I didn't even have twenty grand when I 226 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: opened up my first dispensary. But I was able to 227 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: get the license. And they go, oh, that was way 228 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: back when. It's not the same anymore, you know, what 229 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But way back then it was the same, 230 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: you know, because I didn't have ship. I didn't understand 231 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: what it was going on. I didn't know what it 232 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: was gonna take. But I had nothing. I went down 233 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: to the city. They kept denying me, denying me, denying me, 234 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: and I kept going and going and going, and finally 235 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: the lady goes, you know what you're you know, I 236 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: like you a lot, and you come down here all 237 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: the time asking all these questions, but you're talking to 238 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: the wrong people. And I'm like what. She's like, Yeah, 239 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: you gotta go over there and get your tax certificate 240 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: because l A doesn't give out business licenses, they give 241 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: out tax certificates. And I'm like, okay, well how do 242 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: I get a tax certificate? And I ran over there 243 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: and and they go, well, you need a not for 244 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: profit doing business as a mutual benefit organization. And I'm like, 245 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: what is that? And I'm writing this down and then 246 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm going, no, you need a collective cooperative. And I'm like, 247 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: you need one of those, you know. So I'm over 248 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: here asking these attorneys what do I need and they're like, well, 249 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: you need a cooperative. And these are the attorneys are saying, well, 250 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 1: you need a collective not not for profit doing business 251 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: as a mutual benefit organization. And I'm going back and 252 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: forth writing these notes down and figuring out what the 253 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: hell I need it. And at the end of the day, 254 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: I got one, and then I went and got another one. 255 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: And then I'm holding none of these things, and I'm 256 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: paying taxes every year, and I said, you know, I 257 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: want to open up my dispensary. And in another city 258 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: called Mona Bello, and Montabello came and kicked my door 259 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: in and told me I was operating illegally and I'm like, 260 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: but hell, you said, this is not l A. I said, 261 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: this is l A County. No, this is Montabello. So 262 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, you you you're gonna learn, and you're gonna 263 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: go through the process. And as long as you continue 264 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: to go through that process, but I could say this, 265 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: I sold those licenses for a lot of money. I 266 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: was very successful with them. I made a lot of money. 267 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: I was very happy. Um, and then I ended up 268 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: buying them back and I sold them again, you know. 269 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: And and so it's funny because you know, now I 270 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: know the owners of the of the those licenses. You know, 271 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: I have one of them that that was worthless to me, 272 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: you know, and it's because I found out they had 273 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: some uh some some mud on it. You know. So 274 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: it's kind of like you're gonna learn, and you're either 275 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: gonna learn the easy way or you're gonna learn the 276 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: hard way. Guys, it's Cannabis Talk one on one. I'll 277 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: be right back after this break. Welcome back to Cannabis 278 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,239 Speaker 1: Talk one on one. My name is Blue and alongside 279 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: of me is Mr Raymond right from Petrified Smoke Shot. 280 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: How are you doing but good good? How are you doing? 281 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: Good good? But before we get into talking to to 282 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: Ray that we have here, you know, um, I just 283 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: want to go through some of the things that I 284 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: left off right before we went to to break here. Um, 285 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: you know, we we had the Blue Bird Delivery Service 286 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: uh coming in. I believe that was numbered ten on 287 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we'll go for I think it was ten 288 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: um Ganja uh Ganja Runner, Ganja Runner. I like the 289 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: name of Ganja Runner. I think it's a good dispensary 290 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: delivery name. UM Harvest Bloom Goddess Deliveries, you know. You 291 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: know again, I think it's super important that delivery services 292 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: are active. One of the things that people often forget 293 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: is that there are handicapped people out there that can't 294 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: get delivery services. There are people out there that that 295 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: don't have access, that don't have safe access, and it 296 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: becomes very important to have delivery um. You know. I 297 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: I think that that the industry's came a long way. 298 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna come a lot further. Right now, 299 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: we're just scratching the surface to to two people that 300 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: are kind of understanding what's really happening out there. The 301 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: reason I say that is because you know, think about 302 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: what what delivery services happened for food? Now, you know, 303 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: if you if you really just go over what's been 304 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: happening for food. Um, you know, we have all again 305 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Uber eats, uh door Dash. You have all you know, 306 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: lift and and and just Uber to pick you up 307 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and moving around. You can order your food from the 308 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 1: grocery store and have them deliver it to you. You 309 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: can also pick it up there. Um, you know, our 310 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: our country is changing, you know, the world is changing, 311 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: and a lot of it's going you know, um, it's 312 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: going for to delivery and it's gonna be an easier situation. 313 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: I think there's a need for stores to there's people 314 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: that need to go touch and feel their product and 315 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: need to smell it and know what's going on with it. 316 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: But I think the industry is changing again and so 317 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: delivery services, I think there's gonna be a huge boom 318 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: for it. And right now, you know, there are some good, 319 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: solid operators out there that are delivering, but I think 320 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: there's a lot of room for more. And you don't 321 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: want to forget about compassion as well. What's that compassion? 322 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people out there who can't 323 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: make it to these things and I just feel like 324 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: compassion is a big part of our industry. Yeah, no, 325 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: and that's that's what cannabis is about. I think from 326 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: if you even go back to you know, the good 327 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: old days, like you know, and I know you're you're 328 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: a pioneer in the industry. So so when you go 329 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: back to the good old days, it's one of those 330 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: things that compassion was one of the biggest things, you know, 331 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: and it's sometimes got there. That's how we got there. Yeah, 332 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: that's how That's how this this has actually got to 333 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: where it's at now. And there's a lot of new 334 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: operators coming in that are just you know, looking for money, 335 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: and I think they're having a hard time because they're 336 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: spending so much money trying to learn how to figure 337 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: out how to be compassionate. You know, it's like anything else. 338 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: You can throw all the money at it that you want, 339 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: but at the end of the day day it's like 340 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: any other business. If you can't go through the proper procedures, 341 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: you're not going to get to where you need to 342 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: be sure.

Do you know that story or not? Really? No, 368 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: I just I mean at some point the ocean was 369 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: there and there were trees and it was covered and 370 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: it just sat for like I said, two hundred million years, 371 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: And now we got petrified wood out there.

Right, yes, you know when you're opening 387 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: the smoke shop, did you see like, uh, um, you 388 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: know a lot of would you say, uh, the cannabis 389 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: community guys or you know, because I know you guys 390 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: are in a town where you guys see uh people 391 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: vacationing and tourists and stuff like that. Do you mainly 392 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: see tourism or do you mainly see um, your your 393 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: cannabis um enthusiasts. Well, we have a lot, we we 394 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: actually have a lot where where we're located in northern 395 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: Arizona has quickly become the hub of cannabis for Arizona, 396 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: mostly because of the weather and uh, the location is 397 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: is much better than being in Phoenix or Tucson or 398 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: something like that. So if you're up you know, at 399 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: a higher elevation. Uh. You know, although it does affect 400 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: uh the cultivation to some ex n uh, you know, 401 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: for the most part, it's just a better, more conducive, uh, 402 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: you know, place to cultivate. So that area has become that. 403 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of the largest cultivations are actually 404 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: up in that little hole Brook area. So it has 405 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: become a hub. And and you know that that's what's 406 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 1: made uh for natural transition, uh to open up that 407 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 1: as well as you know the other Yeah. No, yeah, 408 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: your hydro store hydro stores, right, you know, being being 409 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: out there. I think one of the big parts of 410 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: it too would be that that rents a lot less expensive. 411 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, square foot wides. I mean one 412 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: of the things out here for California is everybody ran 413 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: up to Atlanto and started growing in Atlanto. So and 414 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: then I was like, well, I don't want to drive 415 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: way out there. And it's like, well, out there, you're 416 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: paying a dollar to square foot. Over here, you're paying 417 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: three to five dollars square foot. So and and so 418 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: you're getting a you know that green tax. Yeah, when 419 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: you start putting a hundred thousand square foot building there 420 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: and you've got you know, you're paying you know, a 421 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: dollar or three dollars or five dollars a square foot, 422 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: you know, the numbers start changing drastically. So why not 423 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: go to a smaller city that's gonna be a little 424 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: bit easier to work with because they need the revenues 425 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: in the city. And so you go over there and 426 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: you start building. It sounds like that's kind of what's 427 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: happening in in in Holbrook as well. And was it 428 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: was a couple of cities out there nearby as well. 429 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Uh you know it's uh it's between Flagstaff and uh 430 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: and uh, you know Albuquerque, Okay, Mexico. So it's up 431 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: in the middle of kind of no man's land. But 432 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: to Arizona and wins lawer Zona to to to speak 433 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: about what you were talking and what we had said 434 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 1: earlier was that you can spend you know, as much money, 435 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: high dollar money as you want, right but at the 436 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 1: end of the day, it comes down to have you 437 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: really been doing this, do you know what you're doing, 438 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: and can you move forward in a business capacity versus 439 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: you know, I just I'm gonna throw a bunch of 440 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: money at this and hope that it works well. I 441 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 1: think that there's there's the combination of both. A lot 442 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: of people come in throw a lot of money, and 443 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 1: then they realized that it's costing a lot of money. 444 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: And sometimes they haven't even really put in a lot 445 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: of money and they just think it's a lot of money, 446 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: and and then they're they're sitting there slaving themselves, going well, 447 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: I gotta do this, I gotta do that, and you're going, dude, 448 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: you haven't even scratched the surface. First of all, you 449 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: don't understand the industry, so you can't really understand it, 450 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: you know, and you have to really come from this 451 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: industry to understand the compassion that's involved in it. You 452 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,239 Speaker 1: have to understand that the culture that's involved in it, 453 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the people that are involved, how they operate, how they act, 454 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: why they act, the way they act, and and you know, generations, 455 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: generations were generations, right, So so a lot of people 456 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,399 Speaker 1: don't understand that, Like, you know, you grew up in 457 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: a household with people that that sold marijuana, that that 458 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: grew marijuana, that are in that that that world. And 459 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: so for these new folks that are coming in, they 460 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: just bring in cash and they believe it. Now, where 461 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: do you think the industry in Arizona is going right now? 462 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I know you guys are a medical state correct, Uh? Yeah, 463 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: currently currently? And then what do you think about uh, 464 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: you know, recreation. I hear you guys are talking about 465 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: it right now. You give any insight on that. You know, 466 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: it's almost feeling like it's gonna go California goes Nevada 467 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: goes Arizona fall suit right Uh? And that seems to 468 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: be the general consensus. Uh, it's not just the people 469 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: that are backing it. Now. We have the police department 470 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: backing it. We have uh, you know, everybody, everybody is 471 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: starting to back back it. And when it failed if 472 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: the last time it was by you know, police department, 473 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: and such a small narrow margin that it looks like 474 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: it will pass this time and we're excited because you know, 475 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: everybody should have access to adult use cannabis. Right, So 476 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're currently what what do you have 477 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: to have a license in order to carry cannabis out there? Yeah, 478 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: it's much like California was. You need to go get 479 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: a recommendation. Yeah, and then from the recommendation you can 480 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: you know, apply to the health. So what happens to 481 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: the growers, the licensees and stuff like that. Did they 482 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: get grandfathered into the to the to the do I 483 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: mean there there? You know? The way they did it 484 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: was all of the all of the dispensary owners came 485 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: together and put a little you know, proposition and and 486 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: uh together and came up with the idea that they 487 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: would all get a second license. Of course they would, yeah, yeah, yeah, 488 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 1: And and at least that's the one that's going to pass. 489 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: The other one probably wouldn't. Didn't have no steam, didn't 490 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: have any money behind it, didn't have the support of 491 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: the police department. So with this new one will double 492 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: and we'll see something that looked a lot like Colorado did. 493 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: What about the medical patients? So like you you have 494 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: a like a caregiver's license, can you start operating or 495 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: does that go away? Does that keep? Know it? Actually 496 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: it actually increases. So what happens is, you know where 497 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: patients before uh you know, needed to go get a recommendation, 498 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: Now they'll just be allocated to people and things like that. Now, Um, 499 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, I understand you've been growing for for some time. Now, 500 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: how do you How do you like the growing? Uh? 501 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 1: You know, I love it. It's kind of a passion. Uh. 502 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: And it's something that you know, when you do it 503 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: for as long as I have, it's just I guess 504 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: it comes second nature, you know. Yeah, Now, now that 505 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: you've been growing for some time, let me let me 506 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: ask you this. Has it been a change? Not being 507 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: able to use some of the pesticides, some of the 508 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: heavy metals that are in the in the some of 509 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: the nutrients that are out there for a lot of 510 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: people that are just listening that don't understand growing. You know, um, 511 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: a lot of the nutrients for the plants that were 512 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: provided to everybody previously, not really knowing the ins and 513 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: outs of the heavy metals that were in those nutrients. 514 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: They were just on the market and everybody would say, 515 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is a great product. It's it 516 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: helps you know, make your your buds and nugs get bigger. 517 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 1: So you would go, oh my god, I'm gonna buy 518 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: this and throw it in my plant, you know, and 519 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: not realizing that it was putting heavy metals or you 520 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: know different Uh, you know chemicals in the in the 521 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: cannabis that we've found out later that were harmful to people. Yeah, 522 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 1: plant growth regulators, regulators, and pesticides. So dealing with that, 523 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: I mean, what kind of curve is that for the 524 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, someone like yourself that has a you know, 525 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: operational or yeah, you know over the years. Uh, you know, 526 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: I think if if it hits you all at once, 527 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: it's one thing. But when you're in the industry for 528 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 1: a while, then you can you can see the curveball coming. 529 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: So we're able to implement you know, pat pest management 530 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: early and often, and so now people who just you 531 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: know are going the other way and running you know, 532 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: rogue pesticides. It's just because they're being crazy. You know. Yes, 533 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: pest management is a thing, but so is everything. I mean, 534 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's so many ways to do it now, 535 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: Uh that there's just natural and just over a regiment 536 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: that there's really no need to implement too many heavy 537 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 1: pesticides unless you're just being lazy. Sure, sure, a lot 538 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: of a lot of people, um, you know, are still 539 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: rogue and just doing whatever they need to do, you know, 540 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: to create the heavier nug and whatnot and and keep 541 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: the pest well. Luckily with testing and everything that's coming now, 542 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: I mean Arizona just started testing, right Yeah. No, it's 543 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: technically they don't even have to start testing until January, 544 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: which is crazy to me. I mean we've been testing 545 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: here for you know, ship years now. Then he comes 546 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: down to responsibility. I mean, at the end of the day, 547 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: we're responsible for what goes into these products as growers, 548 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: and we need to be conscious of it and make 549 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: sure that you know, you're not pet passing on anything 550 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: to the consumer that's going to affect them adversely. Right now, now, 551 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: what do you think that a lot of these growers 552 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: are actually still using Uh? I think that maybe like 553 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: you know that your closet grower, yeah, your boutique craft yeah, 554 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: that kind of guy becaus that are just really pushing 555 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: for yeah maybe or you're you know, they're doing it 556 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: for themselves, or they don't understand or they don't uh 557 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, realize there's other ways to get to the 558 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: same right to the same, you know, ending same, same 559 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: level of quality. So they don't realize that they can 560 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: actually get some of the best quality, if not better 561 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:47,560 Speaker 1: quality cannabis without that the nutrients PGRs will you know, 562 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: you take away your quality, They'll take away your turps, 563 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: they'll take away your you know everything. Sure, now, if 564 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: you can see any changes, you know, I mean, obviously 565 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: you come from California, you know, so you're a California boy. 566 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: That that jumps into the the uh the market, you know, 567 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: and now you're in Arizona obviously, and for opportunity you 568 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: go out there and create a life and a family. 569 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: What what what do you think you know could change 570 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: for Arizona to make them better? Well, first of all, testing, 571 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: like we were just talking about, you know, and I 572 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: think that's true for everybody. Uh, you know, we can 573 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: with testing and time, I think we're gonna find cannabis 574 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: to be so much more beneficial. And I think we're 575 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,719 Speaker 1: all on the same page with that nowadays. But uh, 576 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: you know, in if you're in Arizona and you go 577 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,800 Speaker 1: and you buy a cart or you buy an edible 578 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: and then buy another edible. I mean it may not 579 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 1: be the same as the one before, and that's just 580 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: because we're relying on testing. That's well, something that that 581 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: I noticed out there is that is, you know, and 582 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: we have this conversation, uh, you know, off air, was 583 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: that you guys don't have the different brands out there 584 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: that we have out here. I mean not at all, 585 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: not at all. Actually, they kind of Arizona has kind 586 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: of gone to like just kind of a copycat kind 587 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: of deal where they don't really want to associate themselves 588 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,479 Speaker 1: necessarily to the brands. And and a lot of that 589 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: has to do with traveling between states, as you can imagine. Sure, sure, well, guys, 590 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: we're here talking to Ray Wright, a Petrified with Smoke shot. 591 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: It's Cannabis Talk one on one.

I'm now calling smoke shops 600 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: cannabis supply stores because I really believe that they've been 601 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: cannabis supply stores the whole entire time. Um, but they 602 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: have changed because I mean to be called smoke shops 603 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: because you couldn't call it a cannabis supply store, you 604 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: know what I mean? And I feel like, you know, 605 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: zig zags bongs, uh, you know, and the bongs are 606 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: called water pipes for the longest time and it's still 607 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: in actual legal that has to be called a water pipe, 608 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? And it's like why 609 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 1: the bobs are should be legal now cannabis is legal? Yeah, 610 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: you just in Arizona, you have to be twenty one 611 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: to purchase tobacco related item, but you can be eighteen 612 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: to sell it. So we'll say that again. You gotta 613 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: be twenty one to purchase the tobacco related So you 614 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: go in and buy a tobacco pipe or a water pipe, 615 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 1: you gotta be twenty one, but you can work there 616 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: at eighteen and selling.
