18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 3: this four twenty and this whole coronavirus thing. It's so

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: exciting to be part of the cannabis industry. Joe, let

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: us know what's going down.

21
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 6: Well, we want to thank everybody for listening to the

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 6: podcast Cannabis Talk one on one on the iHeartRadio app,

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 6: Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And before

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 6: we get into the show, I want to ask you

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 6: off something. If you could spend millions or even billions

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 6: of dollars on research for cannabis, like, where would you start?

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 6: What brings us up is Canada was just given forty

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 6: billion dollars in grants, right and the American cannabis industry

29
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 6: was left out, of course of the loop for the

30
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 6: research grants and credits who knows why, But not in Canada,

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 6: where the government is utilizing everything from analytics labs to

32
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 6: whatever they can do, to the ability to research and

33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 6: come up with novel treatment ideas. So my question is

34
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 6: what would you focus on if you could do it?

35
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 4: And why?

36
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: Let's start with you, little brother, Mark Wasseran.

37
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 6: What would you focus on if you could spend millions

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 6: or billions of dollars on research?

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 7: You know, I would have to say right now, focus

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 7: on how cannabis, CBD, THC, whatever the case may be,

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 7: can fight the coronavirus because there are people out there

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 7: who believe it. I mean, we know one, Kyle Turley,

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 7: and I don't see how that's going down the wrong

44
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 7: road because we have our indocannabinoid system, which helps with

45
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 7: the immune system. And we know that using cannabis in

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 7: all forms and whether it has THHC or CBD helps

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 7: the indocannabinoid system. So that's where I think money like

48
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 7: that should go into specific research for this. Right now,

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 7: they're looking to do a vaccine, they're looking to figure

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 7: out what's going on with this virus.

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: A lot of money should.

52
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 7: Be spent pouring into Hey, cannabis can help defeat this.

53
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 6: That's at one point, I remember your big brother saying

54
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 6: that cannabis can cure the coronavirus. If that's not the

55
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 6: words that came out of his mouth at one point,

56
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 6: how do you feel about that?

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 5: Now we've gon say that.

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Well, how about this? How about this? There's been a

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 4: recent article from the time of Israel. Now Israel's been

60
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: testing cannabis for years, thirty thirty forty and they and

61
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: right now at the so and so Medical Center I

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: can't pronounce it's Hebrew, will begin administering medical cannabis to

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: coronavirus patients in moderate condition as part of an experimental treatment.

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: How's that. I think what we need to do is

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: put forty billion dollars into the research that is being

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: done in other countries already. So I mean it's I

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: think studying it as a immune booster, studying it as

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: a cure for cancer. I think it needs to be

69
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: studied and test done and trials.

70
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: You could focus on one, though, and I agree with

71
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: everything you're saying. I can't give you one, you know,

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 5: it can never give you one exactly.

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 6: I mean it's it's so hard to do it. And

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 6: don't hook get me wrong, I agree with you, but

75
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 6: just for the sake of you mean, you don't one.

76
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 6: I think that he would do it for which is

77
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 6: beautiful right now. It's perfect timing, of course, and maybe

78
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 6: a good stay. But no one disagrees with you.

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: No, you don't.

80
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 5: You don't understand what I'm saying. I do you want to.

81
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is if you test it for the

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 4: if you test it for the coronavirus, you're testing it

83
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 4: and the testing is going to show a lot of

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: different things. I'm not a scientist or biologist or or

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 4: you know whatever the fuck these people do that just

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: rocket scientists kind of people you know that that are

87
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: doing the testing. So I think once they break it

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: down to test it to test it for one thing,

89
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: it's gonna be good for other things. That's my point.

90
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 5: Are you running for Congress this year?

91
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 7: I object to uh, this word stoner that you just

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 7: threw out there. This this is our third episode, and

93
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 7: if you're gonna do that, you got to say successful stoner.

94
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: Stigma. So Mark, I'm not gonna Mark.

95
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 6: You gave a great answer for the coronavirus. Is where

96
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 6: you want your research? Your brother's tap dancing on everything.

97
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 6: He can't give an exact answer. Blue, What would you

98
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 6: use the money on if you could do research with it?

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 3: Definitely I would use the research money for cancer. It's

100
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 3: been a long, long struggle with cancer. I believe that

101
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 3: there's been a lot of testing out there from people

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: themselves that have said, you know, it helps with cancer,

103
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: and so many different from skin cancer to lung cancers

104
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: to you know, you know wherever it's at. And I,

105
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: you know, my father passed away of cancer, So I

106
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 3: think I would step right into the cancer market.

107
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, and personally I'd like to go to the pain

108
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 6: management of it. Weight loss loss would be great as well,

109
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 6: as I've heard it work. But every time when I

110
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: was stone, I wanted to eat more food and much.

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, have you looked at me lately? Have you seen

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: me lately? I mean that's just a cop out.

113
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 6: You don't need, Mark, And and part of your other

114
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 6: reason is you don't want to be in the house

115
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 6: with your family, so you do anything and everything to

116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 6: get out of there.

117
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 5: So my working out out outside as a plus for you.

118
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,559
Speaker 4: Good try. But I work out only thirty minutes, Joe,

119
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: that's all it takes. You can't even do that. It's okay,

120
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: It's okay.

121
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 5: Mark, I definitely do thirty minutes to day.

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 6: Has nothing to do with that. But our bodies are

123
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 6: different by all means. So my point is that I

124
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 6: would use that.

125
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 5: Joe alone, exactly know why you're taking me.

126
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: We're on the coronavirus, diet, shots fired, and the way

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: you look and plus yeah, I'm just a little overweight,

128
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: it's okay.

129
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 6: And helped me get my test done because I'm obedience

130
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 6: and have diabetes, so I was able to get my

131
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 6: desk out for you obedience. So my point is what

132
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 6: I would use my money on, though, is for pain management,

133
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 6: meaning I'd like to be able to help people and

134
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: everybody in general say, like, you know, if you have

135
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 6: a headache, if you have a shoulder pain, back ache,

136
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 6: kind of like what you take advil and tie it

137
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 6: off for same type of thing with an oil or

138
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 6: you know, they say smoke. This just some type of

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: research that gives better examples of how to use canvas

140
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 6: rather than you should just use it. We're all saying

141
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: you can use this for that, but give somebody the

142
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 6: exact is what a lot of people need out there

143
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: and what's gonna make them feel real comfortable and safe

144
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 6: taking it. So I think the more research we get

Speaker 6: Mike, that was so dope. I've seen it like three

174
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,320

Speaker 8: Humanity Well, Humanity Heroes. We've given out over nine thousand

177
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 8: backpacks over the four years down in skid Row. That's

178
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 8: where we operate the most disadvantaged, marginalized people, and we thought,

179
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 8: well we can if we do backpacks, that's just a

180
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 8: temporary thing. It's not really saving lives. What can we

181
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 8: do to save lives? And we said, well face masks,

182
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 8: and we go, okay, what kind of face masks? And

183
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 8: we give them the really the paper ones and stuff.

184
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 8: They're going to just disintegrate and they're not going to

185
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 8: last very long. So we came up with these. We

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 8: had this made here in California company in bria Ats

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 8: Sports where I made it, and it's washable, reusable, and

188
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 8: we'll save lives. So we gave about seventeen thousand of those.

189
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 8: And at the same time, we also gave about seven

190
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 8: hundred ninety five masks to Providence Saint Joseph's Hospital because

191
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 8: regardless of your ability to pay, they will treat you.

192
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 8: And we'll give about three thousand more masks. May eleventh,

193
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 8: we're going out again and we're going to be handing

194
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 8: them to firemen, policeman, EMT and hospitals as well.

195
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 4: I think we needed. That's awesome.

196
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 7: It's great that that all of these facilities are getting

197
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 7: these great medical needs fulfilled from a cannabis company.

198
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, cannabis money.

199
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 7: It is.

200
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 8: Cannabis money is helping society, and you're right, it's a

201
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 8: really great feeling to go out there and be part

202
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 8: of it and not be stigmatized anymore, you know, and

203
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 8: accepted with open arms.

204
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 7: And you've been through it since the beginning. I mean

205
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 7: I said this earlier. You've been You've been at this

206
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 7: longer than a lot of our followers and these millennials

207
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 7: have been alive. What have you seen change from then

208
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 7: until now?

209
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

210
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 8: Man, that's you know that mass. You see the man,

211
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 8: your own nervous and all this stuff, and you try

212
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 8: to keep your electric go low, doing whatever you can,

213
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 8: and you're just basically live a very you know, surreptitious life,

214
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 8: and you don't have a lot of contact with a

215
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 8: whole lot of folks. You stay real close to a

216
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 8: small group of people. Now it's open, you can talk

217
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 8: about it. We're talking about it's going on on iHeartRadio mainstream.

218
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 4: It's I always tell the younger, the younger generation that

219
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 4: they don't really get it. I don't think they appreciate that.

220
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: When I was I'm going to be close, I'm fifty eight,

221
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 4: and when I was sixteen years forty something years ago,

222
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: where I had let alone, not being in the growing

223
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 4: part of her in the industry part of it. Back

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: then I was a consumer where I had to go

225
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: to purchase my cannabis, Oh my god. They have no idea.

226
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 4: You know, even back in the medical they had no

227
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: idea when when stores were quasi legal. So this is

228
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: just amazing that if I thought when I was sixteen fifteen,

229
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 4: whenever I started it, there would be a national holiday.

230
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 5: Well, not only that, it gives you the chills.

231
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 8: You know.

232
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 3: One of the things that that I think that that

233
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: we'll we won't ever really get the feeling of is

234
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 3: is growing up and knowing that cannabis is just like

235
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: having a beer and it's not quite there, but it's

236
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: going there.

237
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: And with our with our you know, you know.

238
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: Philanthrophispists and that's out there, you know, putting in work

239
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: and creating this you know, this whole uh you know

240
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: machines that we're here doing. We're gonna get it to

241
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: that level to where it's just like drinking alcohol or

242
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: or you know, but even better, you know.

243
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: For much better. It is much better.

244
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 8: And we've got like Chronic Relief has got a big,

245
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 8: big program going on the today. They know Feeding America charity.

246
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 8: I advise everybody to tune into that and help feed America. Again,

247
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 8: cannabis is feeding America. That's just great.

248
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 5: Did you have many ropes to jump. But we're big

249
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 5: mic for that.

250
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, because so many people at certain

251
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 6: points wouldn't take money from the cannabis industry. And you're

252
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 6: a company with advanced nutrients that helps make plants grow,

253
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 6: so you make money not just off the cannabis industry,

254
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 6: you make it off people who want to grow tomatoes,

255
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 6: you know whatever. So how difficult what did it used

256
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 6: to be compared to now? And now they're like, oh,

257
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 6: you're helping Mike, oh.

258
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 8: Please, yeah, day and night difference. And one of the

259
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 8: reasons that four years ago when we started this, didn't

260
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 8: ask anybody. We just we just went down to skid

261
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 8: Row and started handing out backpacks. And now we're accepted

262
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 8: and you're not getting the pushback. Before, you know, city

263
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 8: hall didn't necessarily want to, you know, talk about what

264
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 8: we're doing and stuff. And now they're more open to

265
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 8: it and seeing things.

266
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 4: And well, the funny part is in every city that

267
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: has allows cannabis, there's always some kind of charitable thing

268
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 4: or you got to pay some kind of other tax,

269
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 4: and you know that that that's something that still has

270
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: to be addressed over taxation.

271
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 8: Of Well, listen, let's talk about that what look, the

272
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 8: fastest way to kill the black market would would be

273
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 8: would be the guy Evin Newsom to just say, hey, listen,

274
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 8: we're going to kill all the tax during the coronavirus

275
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 8: on cannabis. And the reason I think that would be

276
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 8: important is because it's safe cannabis. Well, what are the

277
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 8: big differences between then and now? Way back then you

278
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 8: were we were smoking pesticides and heavy metals and microtoxins

279
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 8: and all kinds of stuff. Now we have clean product.

280
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 8: Now people say, well, you shouldn't be smoking or whatever,

281
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 8: but you could take an edible. And here's the thing.

282
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 8: Cannabis is way less carcinogenic than than cigarettes are. And

283
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 8: if you're gonna inhale and people are gonna do it anyways,

284
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 8: you know they're not going to stop at least use

285
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 8: safe product, especially because this respiratory problem with the coronavirus.

286
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the state. I think the reason that

287
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: it passed though, it just mean, really, what amounts to

288

00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 4: who he is. And especially cultivators because all you hear

432
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, is the name of a.

433
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 7: Brand and it's out there, or you see a face

434
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 7: that's the face of the brand. And the cultivators, you

435
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 7: know that without them, none of it would be here,

436
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 7: none of it.

437
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 5: So sorry, but but was your pops a cultivator? Did

438
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 5: he actually grow it as well?

439
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

440
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

441
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 3: My father grew cannabis, taught me, uh, you know, some

442
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: of the tricks, and then my brother picked it up.

443
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 3: And my brother and I kind of just went at

444
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 3: it for a lot of years, you know, And back

445
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 3: then we knew who George was even and I mean

446
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 3: because he's been in like High Times articles since we

447
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: were kids, you know, and we've we've read up on

448
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 3: him and just heard all the good stories about the guy.

449
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: More than that, he's an advocate though, I mean, he's

450
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: been he's been pushing for people's attention in cannabis for

451
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: you know, over thirty years now, so he's he's been

452
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: around for a long time.

453
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: Did you learn anything from him about cultivating?

454
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: You know what?

455
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: I Actually it's funny you say that, because there was

456
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: a thing, there's something called super cropping, and and you know,

457
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 3: I actually learned how to super crop from one of

458
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 3: one of his his YouTube videos years ago, and I

459
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 3: was just watching one of the videos and and kind

460
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: of showed us how to super croping. And then from

461
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 3: that point, you know, we've had friends and experimenting.

462
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 4: Is that like, was that like Superman?

463
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 5: Superman tie over it? What a super cropping?

464
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: So essentially, when when you, uh, when the plant's growing

465
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: and it starts to grow its branches, you know, we

466
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 3: would crack one of the branches so that it would

467
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 3: it would actually break it, and then it would create

468
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: a not there. And what would happen is it was

469
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: it would allow all the water being pulled from the

470
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: roots to head towards that knot and then it would

471
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: and that not would become pretty big, and it would

472
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,479
Speaker 3: create more flour at the end of it, because the

473
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 3: more water and the food can get to the flower.

474
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: I'm just planting. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, it's hey.

475
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 4: I've got big Hey, i got Big Mike's startup kid

476
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: over here.

477
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 3: I've used advanced nutrients for years and and uh, you know,

478
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 3: the big Bud and all the big bloom and and

479
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 3: all the different products they have are pretty amazing guys.

480
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 3: So there it is, and that's who's making waves. Craig

481
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: tell us what's going on in cannabis news.

482
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 4: All right, let's get straight to it. I'm going to

483
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: follow up real quick on his story before I get

484
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 4: the one get to the one that I want to

485
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 4: discuss today. Uh remember I talked about that case in

486
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 4: Massachusetts where the governors shut down all the adult you

487
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 4: shops but not the medical shops. Well guess what the

488
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 4: adult use shops lost now, Yeah, basically based on it.

489
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 4: It makes a little sense if you're taking the coronavirus seriously,

490
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 4: because you can only be a citizen of Massachusetts in

491
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 4: order to get your medical card. So if you if

492
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 4: the adult use, people can come in from other states

493
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: to go to an adult adult use shop. So if

494
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 4: you have to get a you have to have a

495
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 4: medical card, which means you need to be a citizen

496
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 4: of that state. Therefore, it's gonna limit the amount of

497
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 4: people coming into buy cannabis. And that's actually what happened,

498
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 4: and that's why they lost. Onto the next door, It's

499
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 4: just said the.

500
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 6: Logic there were why wouldn't you want to make more

501
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 6: money from everyone coming in.

502
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 4: It's about the coronavirus, Joe, It's about the coronavirus. More

503
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 4: more important is that California cannabis distributors are setting up

504
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 4: a network to share info on firms that pay bills

505
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: and don't pay bills. Wow, they're creating a blacklist. And

506
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 4: this is while some distributors are actually closing right now.

507
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: They're Look, you're looking at over get this number in receivables.

508
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: Everybody know what receivables are. What a business is owed?

509
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: One hundred million dollars easily, easily one hundred million dollars

510
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 4: in receivables are our.

511
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 5: Bunch of companies.

512
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: That's total. That's total.

513
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 5: That's total, total. Yeah, because that's everyone. That can't be

514
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 5: one company.

515
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 4: That's and and what that and what that's doing is

516
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 4: it's causing companies like the Snore based Pacific Expediters they

517
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 4: just had to close their doors. They had to close

518
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 4: their doors. And they have an outstanding debt of at

519
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 4: least a half a million dollars for the startup of

520
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: the company. And this is due to people not paying

521
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 4: their bills. And also they indicate, the CEO indicated that

522
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 4: it's also based on the ridiculous over regulation and how

523
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 4: hard it is for any cannabis business to be profitable.

524
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: This might be good, you know, Craig that that the

525
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: taxes and things like that that are owed aren't paid,

526
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 3: because it'll show if there's multiple people, uh, you know,

527
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: not paying them, it's gonna come to a point where

528
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna realize that they've overtaxed it.

529
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not I'm not sure. I mean, that's that's

530
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: not one hundred percent of the problem. I mean, it's

531
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 4: a huge, huge part of the problem is the over

532
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: taxation and regulatory costs. But it's also I mean, so

533
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: imagine the over regulation, taxation and regulatory costs coupled with

534
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 4: not getting paid, right, I mean, I mean, it's it's

535
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: just ridiculous. So, I mean, I just thought that was

536
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 4: interesting to hear that that, you know, and it's funny

537
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 4: too because they must be they must be getting legal

538
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 4: information which I haven't looked into regarding. You know, they're

539
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 4: gonna put people on blast and they're gonna create a

540
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: they're gonna create a they're gonna create a blacklist that

541
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: says don't buy from them, they're not gonna pay.

542
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 6: Well, they just haven't paid shirtain bills. But can they

543
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 6: do that legally and put people I.

544
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: Have I have not. I have not looked into that,

545
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 4: and I'm sure they're specialists in that area of the law.

546
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 7: It would be a form of defamation. I mean, wait right,

547
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 7: we don't do that kind of law. Truth is a defense, exactly.

548
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 7: Truth is a defense. So, hey, you don't pay your bills.

549
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 7: Hey that guy didn't pay my bills.

550
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 4: You know. But there are there.

551
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 7: Are privacy issues around collections and collection agencies, and there

552
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 7: are certain law federal collections accents.

553
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: But mark, mark, mark you you you've done collection law.

554
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 4: Isn't it true? Isn't it true that the actual original

555
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: creditor can do things that a collection agency can't. Yes, well,

556
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 4: especially if it's a business.

557
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 7: So there's different consumer protection laws for the consumer when

558
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 7: it comes to collection agencies.

559
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: But when it comes to a business.

560
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 7: You as as a for instance, if a if a

561
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,679
Speaker 7: collection agency hires an attorney, they have to have a

562
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 7: go into court as a third party creditor, and there's

563
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 7: lots of different issu shoes and laws that come with that.

564
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 7: And these cannabis companies there we actually had a we

565
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 7: actually were representing in a civil action a client who

566
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 7: was being sued.

567
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: This was a few years ago. Before the regulations.

568
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 7: Who was being sued for not alleged non payments of.

569
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 9: Kennet three four hundred dollars right, and it was it

570
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 9: was a bogus lawsuit and they were spreading vicious rumors

571
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 9: and lies around the community and ultimately, you know.

572
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 4: We got the case dismissed. But I digress into that.

573
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: Just sorry about that, big Rether.

574
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 6: So this like a definition of whatever deformation of character

575
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 6: because it's true they do owe the money, so they

576
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: couldn't sue for that, right.

577
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, it would have to be under in looking

578
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 4: at the article, they're looking at privacy laws, different kind

579
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 4: of privacy laws, so that's what it would fall under.

580
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 3: Well, something I want to say, Craig is this kind

581
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 3: of reminds me of you know, the guys in the

582
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 3: industry and that were black market that just didn't pay

583
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 3: their bills back back in the day.

584
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 2: You know, you got people that are yeah, but.

585
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 4: You know what, you know what, you know what you

586
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: you you were in that we were all in that

587
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 4: gray area market back then, and it was cash on

588
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 4: the barrel head brother, it was cash up front if

589
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 4: you were For most people, it was cash up front

590
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: if you chose not to do that then. I think

591
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: that was the problem back then, if you chose not

592
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 4: to take the cash because it was it was all cash.

593

Speaker 7: not a stranger to the mic. I've heard him on

620
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 7: Big Boys Neighborhood, Ryan Seacris. You might have heard him

621
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 7: on Fox Sports Network two.

622
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 4: His name's Joe.

623
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 7: His name's Joe, but I call him the round Mound

624
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 7: of radio. Tell us what's going green, Joe?

625
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 6: Well, you guys, the parent company of High Times Holding

626
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 6: Corporation announces an acquisition of Humboldt Hair Heritage, Inc. And

627
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 6: it's subsidiaries Humboldt Sun Growers Guild and Grateful EIGHTLLC. Now

628
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 6: this is a major expansion into the cannabis growing and

629
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 6: processing industry. It kind of goes hand in hand Blue

630
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 6: with your guy George, who's a.

631
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 5: Grower out there.

632
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 6: Maybe they'll hire George as well to help them start growing.

633
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 6: But with High Times opening up two flagship retail stores

634
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 6: in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, this is huge for

635
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 6: them because you know, currently eleven states right now you

636
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 6: can you know, have recreational weed. But they're right now

637
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 6: going to get this brand and I believe once they

638
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 6: have this type of brand, and by the cultivation from

639
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 6: Humboldt out there, they're going to clean house. I mean,

640
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 6: they should be able to make an amazing product. As

641
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 6: for those who don't know, the Trifecta out in California,

642
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 6: Humboldt County has been notoriously known for making some of

643
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 6: the best weed ever period because of the way the

644
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 6: weather is there and it's mostly grown outdoor and because

645
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 6: of the weather.

646
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 5: I believe it's the weather cause it's in the mountains. Correct,

647
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 5: Blue hit me.

648
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: Off, Joe, I didn't know you were a cultivator.

649
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 5: Joe, Joe, I said, that's what I believe, Joe.

650
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: Just so you know, that's actually George Savantes is facility

651
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 3: that they're purchasing.

652
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 2: So welcome to the show.

653
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 6: Well, I wish you would have said that in your

654
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 6: segment so we could have understood it. But you know,

655
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 6: it's hard for you to ever explain anything.

656
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: So it's not my fault that I just made that up,

657
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: you know.

658
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 6: But either way, like he's such a dope grower that

659
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 6: what High Times is doing is buying in a great

660
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: area for great growers. Now, the funny thing about this

661
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 6: that I find a little gray is that you know,

662
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 6: High Times is known for their big cups and this

663
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 6: and that, and if they're gonna start producing such great product,

664
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 6: it feels funny if one of their you know, subsidiary companies,

665
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 6: that's one of their product lines is in their own

666
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 6: cups and you know, so that's the one like, oh,

667
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 6: this one wins, that one wins, but it.

668
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 4: Won't be allowed. They're not going to allow that.

669
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: We would hope that, and you know, but my thing is,

670
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 6: I think it's brilliant for High Times to jump into

671
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 6: the game where they're they're opening up stores anyways, and

672
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 6: you got to believe that.

673
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 4: Why not use your brand? Why not use your brand

674
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 4: and that guy brand.

675
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I'm confused about. They're a publicly traded

676
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: company at this point. They're purchasing a cannabis flower facility,

677
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: which they're going to end up showing revenues for. And

678
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 3: that kind of scares me because I'm not sure that

679
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: they can do that right now as a publicly traded company.

680
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: Right I don't know the answer to that way.

681
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: We're not public trade. I don't think they're publicly traded yet.

682
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 4: They were they were raising some kind of some class.

683
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: I'm not a stock person, so I don't know. But

684
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 4: they were raising some kind of stock certain stock class

685
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 4: before they went public.

686
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: Right, So they're they're planning to go public and so

687
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 3: and I'm not and I'm a huge fan first of all.

688
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, and I don't know how a public.

689
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 3: Or a company that's going to go public can can carry,

690
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 3: you know, federally illegal products like cannabis on and let.

691
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 4: Unless it's going public on the Canadian Stock Exchange.

692
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, they were because they were selling stocks, right, remember

693
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: for the longest time, not to that.

694
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 4: But they weren't in the weed business. Then they were

695
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: in the publication business and event business.

696
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 6: Well then now the parent company of High Times corpse.

697
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: So maybe they're using a subsidiary company.

698
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 4: Of subsidiary, subsidiary, sub ay Joe, subsidiary, tidiary. I don't

699
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 4: worry about it. You went to college somehow.

700
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how I have a degree, but

701
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 5: I do. I never had to say subsidiary to get

702
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 5: my degree. That's why.

703
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 6: Subsidiary whatever, whatever, city, subsidiary whatever. But the point is

704
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 6: that's a great observation though blue and makes you wonder

705
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 6: how they are going to do that. I mean, because

706
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 6: you're right, they can't as a company, especially here locally

707
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 6: and the fifty United States do that and still make

708
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 6: it because it's federally traded.

709
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: You know what, I think.

710
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 3: I think you might have hit it on the nose

711
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: with their mother company, you know what I mean? So

712
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: you know, I I think they bypassed High Times and

713
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:08,839
Speaker 3: they're actually using High Time.

714
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 6: High Times does this, but we do that and we're

715
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 6: still kind of the umbrella of all of it.

716
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 5: So I'm assuming. I don't think I'm doing it.

717
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think the umbrella is going to work.

718
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 4: If anything, that could be a separate company altogether that

719
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 4: they put together to use the High Time brand that's

720
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 4: not part of that might be a license deal or

721
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 4: something like that, because if they if they're traded on

722
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: the US Stock Exchange, they can't.

723
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't. They can't do that.

724

Speaker 5: I'll look at that on the Canadian do that.

725
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 4: Why don't you do that and get back to US?

726

Speaker 6: I show you know what I will, And then High

727
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 6: Times they what they said in the big mission statement

728
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 6: is their mission is to connect consumers to cannabis, not

729
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 6: only the best access and experience, but by making the

Speaker 2: Uh, Me and my friends were very young.

783
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: We were hanging out in the back of my buddy's truck,

784
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 3: his dad's truck, which his dad was a police officer

785
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 3: by the way, and they had one of those shells

786
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 3: on the back and we were back there smoking a bowl,

787
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, we hear knock on the

788
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 3: knock on the truck, on the truck window, and they

789
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: were all blacked out to it, you know, and we're

790
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: in there, and we're sitting in there and we literally

791
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,720
Speaker 3: were just about to fire it up and we're like, hello,

792
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 3: He's like, police officer, come out. We're like and we

793
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: literally had all of us had cannabis, like we had joints,

794
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 3: everything in our hands. And I had the bag and

795
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 3: I just threw the whole like i'd say a cramp.

796
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: It's not bad, started chewing on it, you know.

797
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: So I literally swallowed it before he came in, and uh,

798
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: you know, he ends up letting this go, finds us

799
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: that we had a little bit of cannabis, tells us

800
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: how a nice night, And everybody's laughing at me the

801
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 3: whole night because I swallowed a gram and a half.

802
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 4: Hey, at least it wasn't meth.

803
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 7: At least it was but here's another right again, And

804
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 7: I've talked about this over and over again and it

805
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 7: pisses me off when I do these stories. What did

806
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 7: I say? The headline man eight pot? Right, and you

807
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 7: have to read the story to get into the meth,

808
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 7: you know. But then that's always how it happens. You

809
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 7: see these big headlines about coke and drug busts, and

810
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,879
Speaker 7: then you always see the pot and then you see

811
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 7: all be goun and you know what, that stuff makes

812
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 7: cannabis look bad?

813
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: You know what? You're right? Too many headlines, right.

814
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 5: Joe, exactly, it's ridiculous propaganda.

815
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 4: So we got Brian Lee.

816
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 7: Chadwell, thirty eight faces felony charges. Now remember I said

817
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 7: felony felony charges of two counts of possession of drug

818
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 7: or finalia and tampering with physical evidence which was eating it.

819
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 7: So that's tampering with physical evidence. Those are two felonies.

820
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 7: So here's what happened. The please stop Chadwell about nine

821
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 7: pm for a broken break light. And here is where

822
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 7: we can teach people, right.

823
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 5: Well, ding, don't we driving with a broken head any light?

824
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 2: That's right?

825
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,720
Speaker 7: And eighty to ninety percent of all drug busts start

826
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 7: with a traffic stop.

827
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 4: So, which is.

828
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 7: Why we are having the script memorized. We're telling people

829
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 7: to memorize the script. I know we went through it

830
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 7: a little bit. Should we do it really quick? Just

831
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 7: a fifteen second version just for those who maybe didn't

832
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 7: hear it yet. Big brother, what do you say when

833
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 7: the cops first pull you over?

834
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 4: Why do you pull me over? And when they start

835
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 4: asking questions, I'm not discussing my day, and they keep

836
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: asking questions. Am I being detained? Am I free to go?

837
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 4: And if detained? What do you say? I invoked the

838
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 4: fifth and all you guys, what do you do? Shut

839
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 4: the fire?

840
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 7: So mister Chadwell here apparently was not following the pop

841
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 7: brothers at law or cannabis talk one to one because

842
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 7: he asked the officer and guys, when I first read

843
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 7: it and it makes me laugh again?

844
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 4: I laughed for.

845
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 7: Ten minutes because I cannot believe what this guy says.

846
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 5: I can't wait to hear this.

847
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 7: You know, you know I've read some things and I

848
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 7: sput now I've heard everything.

849
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 4: He asked the officer for legal advice regarding hold on,

850
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 4: let me finish regarding.

851
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 7: He asked the officer for legal advice regarding a no

852
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 7: contact order he'd received for allegedly hitting the girl. Then

853
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 7: he said he'd eaten a small bag of marijuana and

854
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 7: meth in order to destroy it.

855
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 4: Big brother, how about that? How about that for not

856
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 4: shutting the fuck up? Yeah, he deserves to go to jail.

857
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 4: He deserves jail.

858
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 6: Or why you guys are making money and lawyers across

859
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 6: the country and across the world.

860
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 5: That's why people are a little stupid.

861
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 4: That's why people are in jail, and this guy serves it.

862

868
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 7: saying he was upset with himself. And he says the

869
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 7: officers could say he tried to attack them, so he

870
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 7: wanted to get shot, So he did that.

871
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: Now they held him on ten thousand dollars bond.
