I see you've got four 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: twenty impact and that's four to zero the number I 64 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: am p a c dot com And is that exactly? 65 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: What's what's around that? So? Um, the one thing that 66 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: the cannabis industry desperately needs is that financial arm to 67 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: really create electoral consequences for members of Congress that can't 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: vote our way on bills that all majority of Americans 69 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: believe that cannabis should be legalized. So we have started 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: a bipartisan superPAC called four twenty Impact and that stands 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: for four twenty Interstate Marijuana pack And our sole purpose 72 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: is to deschedule cannabis and open up interstate trade. Yes, 73 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: and that that's that's our two big policy points and 74 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things that everyone should know, UM 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: with when it comes to us, we are a bipartisan 76 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: We do not get involved in the presidential race whatsoever. 77 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: We strictly use our resources for the House and Senate races. 78 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: And in addition to that, we UM, we do not 79 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: see red, we do not see blue. We only see green. 80 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: And that's cannabis green, not money green. That's correct, Well, 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: we need money looking at your history, Jason Becket and 82 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: speaking of that, getting the money for those who are 83 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: interested in helping support this organization, they're looking for four 84 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: dollars and twenty cents a month. Yeah, So one of 85 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: the things is, well, of course, we always want more, 86 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: and so if you are able to contribute more, we 87 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: would appreciate that. But what we really want to do 88 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: is have a true kind of grassroots movement similar to 89 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 1: like a Bernie Sanders campaign, where we are encouraging all 90 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: Americans that can get behind these two issues of de 91 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: scheduling cannabis and supporting interstate trade to be contributing four 92 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: dollars and twenty cents a month on a monthly reoccurring 93 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: credit card charge. And then that way that ensures that 94 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: we will be able to have the financial resources in 95 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: order for us to be able to do our job 96 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: and really make some real impact. And they'll be able 97 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: to do that on impact dot com. Correct, you know, Jason, 98 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: I I've I've been able to follow you and work 99 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: you know, besides, you are alongside you in the cannabis 100 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: industry for some time and and honestly, you do a 101 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: fantastic job of this and I'm I'm very honored to 102 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: have you, you know, and I look forward to to 103 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: seeing what this comes, how this unravels, because you know, 104 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 1: it's such a big issue right now to cross state lines, 105 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, not and I mean, you know right now 106 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: it's a it's a you know, it's a while while 107 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: west and when you start crossing state lines, and there's 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: a lot which opens the market for illegal um trafficking, 109 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: and and you know, cannabis being you know in loves 110 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: are We the whole country loves are We? And and 111 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: so and you keep sending it Craig and California, California 112 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: is the number one brand in the entire cannabis space 113 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: in the entire globe. And when you apply Apple LA 114 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: law and labeling requirements and standardization, um, we we stand 115 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: up to really stand out as a large exports California grown. Yeah, 116 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: you know. And and it's it's it's it's exactly what 117 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: needs to happen. Um you know. I remember there was 118 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: an attempt to to do this, which was the I 119 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: think they called it the tri state Connection, which was 120 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: going to be Arizona, Nevada and California, Oregon, Olia. Yeah. 121 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: And so there's another group that is working on the 122 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: interstate compacts. However, interstate compacts have to be voted on 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: by Congress, and so UM, I do we we we, 124 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: I do believe we have a call scheduled with that, 125 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: with that organization to see how we can work in 126 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: conjunction with the two because um, ultimately we both care 127 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: about the same policy. However it gets done as however 128 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: it gets done. But ultimately, even with interstate compacts, again, 129 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: they do have to be approved by by Congress in 130 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: order to exist. Do you see this actually being unraveled? 131 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: And if so, you know, what are what are some 132 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: of the workings of it? I mean, you know, it 133 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: seems like it's it's easy, right, it should just be 134 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: at the change of a habit, which it's you know, 135 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: the flip of a coin. Okay, it's switch it over, 136 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: But it's not. There's gotta be taxes involved, There's gotta 137 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: be a lot of different regulations that are going to 138 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: be involved. So so what is your vision testing testing 139 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: standards too? Because you can't have a product that says 140 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: test clean and Oregon that's a vape cartridge and then 141 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: test dirty in California, how do you ever have interstate 142 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: trade with that and so so that there's there's so 143 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: many different serious policy answers that have to be understood 144 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: and created at the same time as well in a smart, 145 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: sensible way in order to be able to really enact 146 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: these colleges. So is that your guys goal UM is 147 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: to actually you know, create those policies and procedures and 148 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: put them in place. UM or that that is not 149 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: four twenty impacts goal? That is UM non connected to 150 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: the superpack at is g a c c's goal the 151 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: Global Alliance for Cannabis Commerce, which is a C six 152 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: federal trade organization. And people can check out the website 153 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: UM on there and they can see our model federal 154 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: legislation of everything the U s would need to pass 155 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: in order to have a robust cannabis economy to rival Canada, 156 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: Mexico and other emerging European markets. But then what you're 157 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: doing now though, with with ipack connected, is it I 158 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: explain how you're going to try to affect the change? UM, Well, 159 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: we need everyone's help in sharing sharing all this information, 160 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: so you know, please uh share share us on Instagram, 161 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: on Twitter, on Facebook, on LinkedIn.

That's four twenty I m p a c 163 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: UM and you know, it's all about getting the word out. 164 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: And if we can get you know, a hundred thousand 165 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: people contributing to four dollars and twenty cents a month, 166 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: and then we can ask all of those hundred thousand 167 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: people to share with ten of their friends and we 168 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: can get up to a million. UM, we we can 169 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: have a serious, serious ground game and cannabis will at 170 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: that point really have a real seat at the table 171 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: when ensuring that sensible cannabis legislation is able to be 172 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: passed forward through the House and Senate. And so people 173 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: for people who don't understand out there where that four 174 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: twenty a month is going, like you just talking to 175 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: numbers you know, could be four million a month. If 176 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: you get that many people, how is that money then 177 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: used to uh, you know, help move help move things 178 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: forward and change change. So we UM and people can 179 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: see this on our website. We have a few different 180 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: categories um as. What we classify members as is one. 181 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: We have our strong supporter members who are really are 182 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: real leaders in the in the cannabis space that really 183 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: help us pioneering champion legislation. You know, members like that 184 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: would be Congressman Earl Blumenhauer Um. He has he has 185 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: a bill UM up right now. And another another one 186 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: would be even Jerry Nadler because he is the lead 187 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: on the More Act and so and so those those 188 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: who bills are bills that we currently do support. We 189 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: support safe banking, and we also support UM the More Act. 190 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: The More ACTUM calls for de scheduling. That is one 191 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: of our one of our objectives, and so we want 192 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: to make sure that the members UM that that that 193 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: help us in passing this type of legislation get financially 194 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: rewarded while we are getting a good head count of 195 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: members who need to be deemed so called prohibitionists. And 196 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: I currently have a list of about forty members of 197 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Congress UM, all from states that have some form of 198 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: legalization on the books, whether it be medical, adult use, recreational, 199 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: whatever terminology you want to put in front of it, Um, 200 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: but there's some form of legalization in their state. And 201 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: they all voted no on Safe Banking, and they all 202 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: voted no on the Heroes Act, which was the phase 203 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: two or two or three of how do you go 204 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: how do you go after them? Well, we go through 205 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: that with independent expenditure campaigns where we um back a 206 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: candidate who was running against them and then help them 207 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: with independent expenditure campaigns, which are those are the ads 208 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: during election season that you'll say, um, you see a 209 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: political ad, and you'll say, paid for by Americans for 210 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: a better tomorrow. And those are all super recks and 211 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: super packs are basically a way of Americans expressing their 212 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: First Amendment freedom of speech right by saying, hey, we 213 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: all believe in this one message and we want to 214 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,959 Speaker 1: financially contribute to that message being out there, and that's 215 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: how that's viewed. And then look what somebody else is 216 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: doing that doesn't support candidates. So then that before you 217 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: can point that out and they can say the other candidate, 218 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: this is I brought to you by that candidate as well, 219 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: who does promote this. And also too, on the same token, 220 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: if there is a member of Congress who has been 221 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: a loyal supporter and always has helped us with voting 222 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: and they're having trouble in their district, we can always 223 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: put pro ads out for him. The one clear distinction 224 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: is that we are not allowed to work with any 225 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: campaign in the messaging that we put out. This is 226 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: all put out solely by us and our and our 227 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: strategic team. That's fantastic. Would it say brought to you 228 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: by four Impact? I M P a C. It would 229 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: say this ad was paid for by Impact. And now 230 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: let me let me go further and say, you guys 231 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: start making some moves. We we as I'm in the 232 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: plan as well. We collect four million dollars a month, right, 233 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: and then it gets to that exactly, so it gets 234 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: to the house. And this is where my friend Mr 235 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: Mark Washerman, who I love and hate so much, as 236 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: he giggles because he knows exactly where I'm going with this, 237 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: not only from the touch of my hand on the 238 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: show as I'm telling it. He knows what I'm saying 239 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: right now, and Mark, what am I saying? Because as 240 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: we spend this money to help it get somewhere, then 241 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: Mr positively Mark, Mr positive Mark Wasserman says it's gonna 242 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: die in the Senate. But that is but that is 243 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: one of the reasons, and I agree. Yeah. And one 244 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: of the things too, you have to realize too is 245 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: that it's not just Mitch McConnell. Because the Senate operates 246 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: on unanimous consent. Most Americans don't realize this, but you 247 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: can any member can put an anonymous hold on a 248 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: bill which will stall it and will cause it not 249 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: to receive a vote. Okay, So we have to create 250 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: these electoral consequences for members that do things like this 251 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: with our cannabis bills. We have to attack them vigorously 252 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: and make sure that we are putting helping contribute to 253 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: better candidates within their district that are actually electable. I 254 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: feel like everything you're saying is the type of action 255 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 1: that we need to get the ship done. Exactly know 256 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: what I mean, because it's like clear all these things 257 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: like that Mark keeps saying, which I believe is true 258 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: as well. But your counter is we take out this pond, 259 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: this pond, this pond, this pond, this rook. It's a 260 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: chess game. Yeah, you know what I mean. And I 261 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: feel like what you're describing is the chess game to 262 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: get to the king, to take them down, to get 263 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: it through the top, exactly right. So basically, you know, 264 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: kind of the thing is if we can get to 265 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: a million contributions and we can get you know, four 266 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: point two million, the goal is to come out with 267 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: amazing press release me to go have a meeting with 268 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, and basically the conversation is this, Um, you 269 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: are going to give our bills four time in the 270 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 1: Senate or I'm gonna start picking off members of your majority. Yes. 271 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: The great thing is, you know, this is what we've 272 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: been preaching to go and get involved in the elections. 273 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: You know, see who's four cannabis and who's not for 274 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: this is a company that's doing it in their policy 275 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 1: and that you can go out there and do this. 276 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: And now we have a superpack that I think everybody, 277 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: especially if you smoke weed at any level whatsoever, four 278 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: twenty a month, four dollars and twenty a month. There's 279 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: enough of us smokers out there who can do that. 280 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: And uh, okay, cut off time. That means said, we're 281 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: back here with Jason Becker. We've come back. Jason, I 282 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: want to ask you about working with Kambla Harris, who 283 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: is running for VP of this election. It's Cannabis Talk 284 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: one oh one. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on 285 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: one Monday is Blue and alongside of me is Mr 286 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: Choe Grande and the Pop Brothers. Had to leave you 287 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: right before we went to break I told Jason Beck. There, 288 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna mention Kamala Harris. Now you've got a chance 289 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: to work with her, talk about it. When she was 290 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: the district attorney, Senator Kamala Harris, who was actually running 291 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: for VP with Joe Biden, What did you do with her? 292 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: How did you work with her? Talk about do you 293 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 1: like her? So? Yeah, honest, five questions. Come on, break 294 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: it all down, because let me just kind of just 295 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: kind of summarize it all. Um. So, I was on 296 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: Terence Helenan's medical Cannabis task force and that was started 297 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: in San Francisco when he was the district attorney. And 298 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: the reality is that, UM, medical cannabis doesn't happen if 299 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: Terence Hellnan was not our district attorney in San Francisco. 300 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: Because San Francisco was the heart of the movement and 301 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: it was its own city and county. And therefore, having 302 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: the chief law enforcement officer UM be able to say that, 303 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm not going to prosecute cannabis cases when 304 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: it comes to medical cannabis is extremely big deal. That's huge. 305 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: Remember I remember that. And so when Kamala Harris won 306 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: her election, I was also served on her medical Cannabis 307 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: Task Force UM. I believe the woman her head and 308 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: narcotics Prosecutor's name was Sharon Woo, and we were very 309 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: closely together to make sure that we were identifying anyone 310 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: who was part of the medical cannabis community as far 311 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: as them being a patient, a provider, culturator, caregiver, that 312 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: if something happened that we were there to make sure 313 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: that hey, say, you know what, we this person is 314 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: part of our community and we we can document that 315 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: they've been you know, with us for a number of 316 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: years and so forth and so and so she was 317 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: great to work with the UM. I know that there 318 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: was some things, UM when when she was Attorney General 319 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: that people were concerned with as far as camp and 320 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: things like that going on UM and so I know 321 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: there has been some kind of you know, rough rough 322 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: edges with with with her while she was Attorney General. UM. However, 323 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm extremely excited the fact that one that she is 324 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: our vice presidential nominee, and secondly, I'm also extremely excited 325 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: in the fact that she is also the lead Senate 326 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Democratic sponsor on the More Act, which is the de 327 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: scheduling bill, and that is one of our main goals 328 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: as far as for de scheduling, and so do you 329 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: think her position is to de schedule? Well, she she 330 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: she's the lead on ad scheduling bill, so so so 331 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: she's put her name on that position. So it's funny 332 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: to see her up like that though. Right to go 333 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: from one job where you're arresting and some may say 334 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: putting the hammer down too much on people, to now 335 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: decriminalizing it. I mean, that's a one and that and 336 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: that's what I call um that I'm so blessed to 337 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: have been a part of what I would call the 338 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: evolution of her perspective on the issue, and that she 339 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: she didn't just become able to support the scheduling overnight. 340 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: It took all of those years of us working throughout 341 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: you know, within San Francisco, went on the state level 342 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: and now on the federal level for her to come 343 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: to that final decision making at this point. Um. I 344 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: am sad however, though, that out of all the presidential 345 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: nominees that we have right now, that um Kamala Harris 346 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: is the only one that supports the scheduling. Yeah, and 347 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: so do you think she's gonna convince Biden? Um? I 348 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't even want to speculate on top 349 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: of stuff like that. For twenty impact does not get 350 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: involved in the presidential rate. He earlier hel how about this, 351 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: I'll say this, if you've got a strong any person, 352 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: let alone a strong woman and a strong black woman, 353 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: let me just say it right there next to Joe 354 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: Biden going, listen, Joe, this is what we need to do. 355 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: She's gonna go, what do you mean here? You were 356 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: against it? She's gonna say, but I'm not anymore because 357 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: exactly what you said, I've learned and I've flip flopped 358 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: and I've convinced, well, Craig does I got that flip 359 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: flop words in my mouth because of what you said. 360 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: It's flip flop me to thinking the words, damn you 361 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 1: ar flip flop. So I love the fact that this 362 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: is the case because I truly believe that is what 363 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: we need in life, because it is it goes from 364 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: racial tension. People need to evolve, flip flop whatever you 365 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: want to call it, to look at things differently, and 366 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: it's what it takes in life, what we've not all 367 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: had to do because some people don't look at it 368 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: that way, never have looked at it that way, which 369 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: is great, but all these people in power need to 370 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: have that evolution of scene. From the medical standpoint alone, 371 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: Evolver die, but a lot of people will die without 372 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: understanding the evolution of what cannabis can do people because 373 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 1: the PROBA elected office. I don't believe they're gonna die. 374 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: I believe there's gonna be moved over. You know. It's 375 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: like we're going through this, this this transition of it 376 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: goes degrees. It's a simple just like right next to us, 377 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, and there's there's there's communities that just will 378 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: never change. And then there's you know, there's cities that 379 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: are changing. There's people that aren't changing. They're evolving. They're 380 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: not evolving. It's not that that they're not recognized anymore. 381 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: It's just a new a new team's coming in. You know, 382 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: there's a new there's a there's a new era of 383 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: people that are coming in. They are making cannabis legal. 384 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: It's already happening. I mean, we've we've made you know, 385 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,399 Speaker 1: like you said, cannabis is in dog years. Think of 386 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: the last ten years, what has happened in the cannabis industry. 387 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, in the last five years, in the last 388 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: five years. Dude, this has been it was illegal. I 389 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: mean five years ago, it was illegal. Seven eight years ago, 390 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: it was completely illegal, right and that's why wasn't not 391 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: in your house but not and not in mine either. 392 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: But but but you're on the legal level. So so 393 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: we're talking five years. I mean, that's in the big 394 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: scheme of things. You know, some of these some politicians 395 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: have been in here for where where are are we are? 396 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: We still at the ten yard at seventy fifty to 397 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: say it's good, it's a good analogy. What do you 398 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: guys think, really fifty or seventy, Well, let's just face it, 399 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: it's what legal and well with Jason and what twenty 400 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: impact is doing, I think we're gonna get close to 401 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: that goal line. I think, well understand, in order to win, 402 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: we have to have the ground support and the ground 403 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: support from the grassroots efforts of the entitled entire cannabis 404 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: community nationwide. Let me let me just give you a 405 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: rundown of who can contribute to a superpack. Um, So, 406 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: any any US citizen can contribute to a superpack and 407 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: any majority owned US business meaning meaning that no, it 408 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: is not a rite off. It is considered a political contribution, 409 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: so it is not a tax deduction. But yeah, if 410 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 1: you look at it in terms of checks, if you 411 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: look at it in terms of four twenty a month, 412 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: as attacks on together, this plant descheduled, that's gonna say 413 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: with a lot of money in the long Here's here's 414 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: here's the thing. I think it starts with, you know 415 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: from me, you know where where I would say, how 416 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: do you know how it's here? Where did that come from? People? 417 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: A minute? How do you get a month bucks a month, 418 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: bucks a month a year, so fifty bucks a year. 419 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: Here's my support this platform. Here, here's my thought is 420 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: that the people that are that have that owned these shops, 421 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: the people that are that on these grows, that their employees, 422 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: their their their down line, if you will, the people 423 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: that are on the up line, they should all be 424 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: participating in this. And I think it's not a matter 425 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: it's not a matter of whether or not they will. 426 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: I think it's it's about getting the word to them 427 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 1: in such a fashion. I mean that's why what I 428 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: would ask you, know you is is have you guys 429 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: put together your guys phone on your back end and 430 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: how you're going to reach people? You know with with 431 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: this because like you know, I I use I use 432 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: you know, marketing strategies to reach unique, unique market, you know, 433 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: and I kind of understand how to to to put 434 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: those into place, and not that you guys don't, but 435 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 1: but I'm trying to figure out would you guys have 436 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: that in place yet? Are you guys still just infrastructure 437 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: is still new? Infrastructure is still is still new. But 438 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: I openly accept your invitation to help us out. YEA, yeah, yeah, 439 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: because because I mean, because what I could see is 440 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: I can see a drift campaign that goes out to 441 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: all these different to these different um you know, uh, 442 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: cannabis supporters, supporters and not only that first time, I 443 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: would literally go after companies just like campas talk one 444 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: on one or or even yeah, I mean they're in 445 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, I know there's there's two of them, so 446 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna split no no, no, no, no no from 447 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: each of them. I got good luck. If they're paying out, 448 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: we've had it too. If they're paying out, it's one 449 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: of them. If they're collecting, it's two of them. We've 450 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: already been through. We've been through this. We paid it 451 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: the part we paid, but it's one of them if 452 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: they're paying out too, if they're collecting trust me. Okay, 453 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: but Jason, yeah, we've yeah, yeah, well we've collected. You 454 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: collected trust me more than me. Um So, So here 455 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: the thought process though, is that you know, we go 456 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: after the and and I know you have a lot 457 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: of the resources to these you know, let's let's get 458 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 1: after all these license stores. Let's just send them, you know, 459 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: an email and a reminder and a drip campaign and 460 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: again and it's it's four dollars twenty cents. It's like 461 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: you can't step up for that, dude? Then then you 462 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: know you you know, and I would encourage them to 463 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: at least do that and then wrap their head around 464 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: it and say, hey, I want to contribute more. You know, 465 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: just imagine two on the size of the of the 466 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: workforce that we have within the cannabis industry. That if 467 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: every employee that works at a cannabis company of some 468 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: sort or another contributed four dollars and twenty cents alone, 469 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: the numbers, the numbers are staggering in the support and 470 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: this is nationwide exactly right. Well, we could actually, you know, seriously, 471 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: just ask there, hey, you know your staff, would you 472 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: sit down with your staff, ask them if they're willing 473 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,199 Speaker 1: to have it deducted directly from their checks. I mean, 474 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if they can. I think they have 475 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: to go online. The employers can't make them do it either. 476 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 1: There's a whole thing there too. I don't know a 477 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: lot about that ship, but employers that you know what 478 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,400 Speaker 1: I mean.

But let's give people 522 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: out there a little bit of your background. You know, 523 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: you being one of the first people to own a 524 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: cannabis shop in California, that alone the United States. When 525 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: did it all start for you? Two thousand and one? 526 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: And it has been one hell of a riot ever since, 527 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. And so two thousand one and 528 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: uh what, I don't know. Maybe maybe you're you're you're 529 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: carrying a backpack around somewhere. I don't know. One. Um, uh, 530 00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: let's let's see. So I had just a couple of 531 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: years ago, had a grandma seizure on a day that 532 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: I didn't consume any cannabis because I was too sick 533 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: because it hurt my throat too much to smoke. And 534 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: as you know, this is before edible is and a 535 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of other other different types of delivery methods. So 536 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: to say, UM, I was born with several palsy. UM. 537 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: When the doctor came in and told me, UM, that 538 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: I had had a grandmall seizure, I was literally tied 539 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: down to the hospital bed. Um, I had a catheter, 540 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: et dots all over my chest, big old tube going 541 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: down my throat. And UM. I was homeless at the time, 542 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 1: and I used to have a pager and run around 543 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and whatever. And the first thing the doctor came in 544 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: and told me was that UM, I had a seizure 545 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: and that my driver's license had been suspended because I 546 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: had a seizure, and that he would not sign off 547 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: on giving me a new driver's license until I could 548 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: produce a clean PE test because I was on dope. 549 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: My response was, what do you mean I was on dope? 550 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: I only smoke weed. Dope is white. And he he 551 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: UM totally disagreed with me. And and I felt at 552 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: that point in time that he was basically almost like 553 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: a judge and jury and just convicted me to life 554 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: in prison because because like I'm living out of my car, 555 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 1: like I you know, like now now I know when 556 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: I get pulled over when like I'm living in my 557 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: car and I get pulled over. Now I'm immediately going 558 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: to jail because I don't have a license, so all 559 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: immediately on search and seizure. So it's like, yeah, he 560 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: just really ruined it for everything for me. Then the 561 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: doctor's put me on a drug called thai lantin, and 562 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: then I had like some really bad side effects. I 563 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: would sleep for like two hours a day. Yeah, and 564 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: then when I would wake up, like just like the 565 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: weirdest things would bug me and like really like I 566 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: was like, this is this is not me? I like, 567 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: I'm a happy person. I'm not like this is weird. 568 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: I was having crazy dreams of like very violent actions 569 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: and so forth. And I when I told the doctor this, 570 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: I said, hey, they said they said, oh, let's measure 571 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: the thai lantin in your blood. And so my levels 572 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: were supposed to be in between ten and twenty and 573 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: when they took my blood, the levels were over thirty 574 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 1: and so and so. And I asked the doctor. I 575 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: was like, how do you do this? Like how do 576 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: you not how how did you allow this to happen? 577 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: And he was like, oh, you know, everyone's different. We 578 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: got to kind of figure it out as we go 579 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: da da Dad, And I'm just like and I just think, yeah, 580 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: and I'm just like, this is this is insane, Like 581 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: I am not your guinea pig, and so um. I 582 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: continued the medicine for a while, and then I still 583 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: had a few side effects and whatnot, and I finally 584 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: got to a point in time of my life where 585 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: I said, you know what, Um, I'm not happy with this, 586 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: Like if if this is keeping me alive, then I 587 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: don't necessarily want to be here because I'm not enjoying 588 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: me being me, living in my own skin. And so um. 589 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,959 Speaker 1: They say that you cannot quit Gailant and cold Turkey, 590 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 1: but that's what I did, And I said, I would 591 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: rather have fewer days of being a happier, normal person 592 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: back to my own self, as opposed to being this 593 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: person that I am today on these pharmaceutical drugs, and 594 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: totally quitted just cold Turkey and have never had a 595 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: Caizar sinse, but have always made sure that I smoked 596 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: every day. Are you kidding? So smoking cannabis every day 597 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: kept your Caesar free. I I'm not a doctor. I 598 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: can't make those types of medical claim anecdotal, but I 599 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: can only speak from my own personal experience. Well, I'll 600 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: tell you what. You know, a lot of people do 601 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: speak from that same experience and and it's an acdota 602 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: anecdotal and and it's it's facts. I mean, you know, 603 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say that I'm a 604 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: doctor either, but I've there not children. Well, I'm a 605 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: doctor on TV. And you know you did stay at 606 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: a holiday in last Yeah, you know. And it's funny 607 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: because you know a lot of people, you know that 608 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: are searching for something to help their children and and 609 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: then and then finally they resort to cannabis. And it 610 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: seems like, you know, it would be in my opinion, 611 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, one of the first things that I would try. 612 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 1: I mean I would, you know, and it doesn't even 613 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: try it every day? No, who I can I touch 614 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: on a little bit on this because this is this 615 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: is this comes into the whole policy issue again all 616 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: over again. And so that's why when we when we 617 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: talk about policy, we say, you know, we don't care 618 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: about the win cannabis is legalized. We care about the 619 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: how cannabis is legalized, because the how is what really 620 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: affects the industry and how Americans are able to source 621 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: it how people are able to to to get their 622 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: medicine actually to them, and so, UM, that's one of 623 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,560 Speaker 1: the reasons why we're all about interstate trade is because 624 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: if let's just say, you know, there's the bill in 625 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: Congress that's known as the States Act. I think everyone's 626 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: fairly fairly familiar with that now, the States Act. Um. 627 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 1: You know, I think it was good when it came out, 628 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: but I'm not I'm not personally a fan of it 629 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,560 Speaker 1: because it hampers everything down on state lines. Okay, and 630 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: right now, currently we have the Roar Bucker Far Amendment 631 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: in place, which is actually um now currently known as 632 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: the Bluemanhouard McClintock, which is the federal appropriations bill that 633 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: prohibits d J and d A from extractling federal funds 634 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: to go after state license cannabis businesses. Now, appropriations bills 635 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: have to be written so broadly, and mind you, it 636 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: only covers medical. But this is why this is so important, 637 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: is because um, these types of bills have to be written. 638 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: Appropriations bills have to be written so broadly that d 639 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: o J and d A can't actually spend money to 640 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: to even investigate if something is medical or adult use. 641 00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,760 Speaker 1: So therefore, by de fact it actually cover or adult use, recreational, 642 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: whatever type of terminology you want to want to use 643 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: with that, because they can't investigate whether or not. Now, 644 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: if something like the States Act were to pass, the 645 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: only thing that would change, because cannabis is not removed 646 00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: from the Controlled Substances Act in the State's Act. The 647 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,399 Speaker 1: only thing that would change is that it would give 648 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,040 Speaker 1: d O J and d E a a clear and 649 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: present guideline to go after anything that crosses a state line. 650 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: And now this creates a whole another problem because now 651 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: you have all these states that have legalized in some 652 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: form of another, and all the packaging has a state 653 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,719 Speaker 1: symbol on all the packaging. So if I'm in California 654 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 1: and I go and buy a bunch of pre roles 655 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: and I'm going to Vegas and I get pulled over 656 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 1: and with with that container, I'm guilty of a class 657 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: for federal felony.

Again, just please remember impact 863 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:40,000 Speaker 1: is UH purely bipartisan. We don't see red or blue, 864 00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: We only see green. We UM contribute based off of 865 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: their voting record, not off of uh. Uh the kabuki 866 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,359 Speaker 1: theater that a lot of politicians played into UM and 867 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: you know, UH, and again we strictly sticked with the 868 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: House and Senate races, and the only way that we 869 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: are ever going to get something passed is through the 870 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,839 Speaker 1: House and Senate. Um. Otherwise, as it doesn't matter who 871 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,719 Speaker 1: the president is because they're not getting any bill to 872 00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: deschedule cannabis and interstate trade is such an important, important 873 00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,359 Speaker 1: part of the business that we all desperately need. They 874 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: didn't have it, And I just I'm curious, since you 875 00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: worked with Ms Harris, do you think she ever smoked 876 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: or dabbled or have folks and friends out there in Oakland? 877 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean she's born and raised in the town.
