I want that. 172 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 1: It's the same setup though. Right over there is a van, 173 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: and when you get what you want, somebody comes out 174 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: of the van. Did they bring it to you in 175 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: a baggie? What do they bring it to you in? Yeah? Yeah, 176 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: like in a white plastic bag, white paper bag or 177 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: a black plastic baggie is what I saw when they 178 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: were doing that. Now, let me point that point out 179 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: as I'm just listening and observing, and these guys are 180 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: dealing and they're you know, they're talking your money and 181 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: ace and this and whatever. And me and my brother 182 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: were there and we heard somebody go, ohly, ship, I 183 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: can't believe it, and we look and there was this 184 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: this older gentleman, probably in his mid fifties, who we 185 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: would come to know as Buddha. Okay, and we would 186 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: learn that Buddha ran that block, and Buddha really never 187 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,320 Speaker 1: you don't really ever see him. It was crazy that 188 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: he was out and he came up to us and 189 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 1: he said to me, do you believe in God? Oh? Well, 190 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: And you know what's funny, Joe, whenever anyone says that 191 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: to me, And my answer is, I don't know, because 192 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: that you can usually then get into a nice conversation 193 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: about religion and whatever. But and I don't know why. 194 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: It's something something in me just made me say yes. 195 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: And he said, I can't funk with you if you 196 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: don't believe God. And so this cat got out of 197 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: jail three days or so before on a gun charge, 198 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: saw our videos and could not believe we were standing 199 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: right in front of him. I wish we had made 200 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,599 Speaker 1: those videos thirty years ago and get into a discussion 201 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: just about how the cannabis ecosystem in Queens and all 202 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: of these in the projects, all these areas in New 203 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: York that I went to run, and how they've been 204 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: able to make it work with the cops. By cutting out. 205 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: You have a couple of what I've found, a couple 206 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: of guys like him, another guy who runs a couple 207 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: of blocks. They go to prison, they come out with 208 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: all this knowledge, and then basically we say, look, no 209 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: felonies on this block. None of that ship. It's all cannabis. 210 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: That's it. No more pushing crack, no more doing nothing heavy. God, 211 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 1: you can do that somewhere else, not on this block, 212 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: you know. And the and one of the guys we met, 213 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: he's like, I got out of jail, and to take 214 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: over the block, you gotta kill the guy who's running it. Well, 215 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: it was my friend, and you know, other friends had 216 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: killed other friends before. Yeah, I don't want to do 217 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: that anymore, you know. And this guy learned how to 218 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: particular guy learned how to make up business plans in jail. 219 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: In prison for five years, he found out that he 220 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: had a kind of you know, like a on a 221 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: special ability knack.

These guys got 332 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,959 Speaker 1: balls and ovaries because because Lonnie has a woman partner 333 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: and she likes she got mad when I talked about 334 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: big balls, so she has big ovaries.

And uh 336 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: was was less than forthcoming with my straightforward questions. But 337 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: these guys what they're doing, and they do have guts 338 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: because it's not legal. There's no regulations on a whim 339 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: at any moment, a cop anybody, they could come and 340 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: get busted. They just they could. They could. What they're 341 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: banking on is the regulations are coming. And I would 342 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: have to no, I don't know for a fact, but 343 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: I would have to imagine and hope, you know, guys 344 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: like Mr S and Lynne, these guys maybe they have 345 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: an ear in with the guys who are writing the 346 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: regulations and and what's coming and what's happening, and saying, look, 347 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: we did this in Oregon, we did this in California, 348 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: We're doing it here. Do it like this, So those 349 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: regulations now look like what these nice shops are like 350 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: at weed World. That's another one reminded me Weed World 351 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: have to tell you about. And that's what they're doing. 352 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,959 Speaker 1: They're putting the cart before the horse opening up and 353 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, calling donations and whatever it is, doesn't matter, 354 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: whatever they want to call it. They can call it. 355 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: It's illegal and they are at risk. But maybe you know, 356 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 1: I hope nothing happens to these guys. They're they're they're 357 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: doing it the way it should be done and showing 358 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: they've done it in other places in other states. You know, 359 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: why not? Well that's the cats at Zaza, right, And 360 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: I've heard from We've had dubious and he was telling 361 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: us that some things in the East Coast exactly what 362 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: you're saying. They're selling it on the corners like that. 363 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,360 Speaker 1: But I mean, how did that make you feel? Mark? Honestly, 364 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: when you've seen these cats just selling from a cardboard 365 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: box like that, I mean, did it make you feel anything? 366 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: I liked it. What I felt was if the people 367 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: who run things had I don't know, any sense of 368 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: morality and fairness and social justice. You you figure out 369 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: a way to take this twenty three year old kid 370 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: who's got entrepreneurial savvy in some sort, you know, making 371 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 1: the numbers work how they do and whatever they do, 372 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: and saying here, let's get them in to this. That's 373 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: that's a given. But let me actually let me let 374 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: me play scenario advocate. Okay, you ready, your family's out there. 375 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: You got the three kids, and your wife and your 376 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: middle son, who is junior high if I'm not mistaken, right, yeah, 377 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: middle school, your junior high school, and some of the 378 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: family friends are out there. He scores a bag of 379 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: wheed on the streets, comes home and goes, look what 380 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: I bought. Dad. Now I have let me ask you 381 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: the same question, how would you feel them? Okay, well, 382 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: so number one, now we're we're getting into parenting. That's 383 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: what and that's what I'm hearing. I don't hate to 384 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:16,399 Speaker 1: say this is what I'm thinking, but I hate to 385 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: say this what I'm thinking. When you're describing all this, 386 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,400 Speaker 1: my parent hat comes on. My cannabis hat goes, oh, 387 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: that's awesome, that's dope, that's so cool, that sounds so fun. 388 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: But then my parent hat kicks in and goes, wait 389 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: a minute, what happens with my fucking young kids are? 390 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm watching young kids by I'm gonna feel funny. So 391 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: now I presented you with a different scenario. At first 392 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: you said you didn't feel anything. Now I presented you 393 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: with a hypothetical, random scenario. How do you feel now? Well, now, 394 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: if if I were if I saw young kids around 395 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: any of that, I would have a problem with. And 396 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: I didn't you know now now that not to say 397 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, but that is a problem them. If 398 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: there's accessibility, I mean I would, just to be clear, 399 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: I would have been one of those young kids that 400 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: bought you know, I started smoking with at six and 401 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: all the way through. So therefore I would have been 402 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: one of those kids that goes, oh my god, look 403 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: at this cardboard box. I read, I got twenty bucks 404 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: in my pocket. Let me get a you know, I mean, 405 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: let me get a little sack and I'm good to go. 406 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: So that would have been a Joe Grande all day. 407 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: Is my point behind that scenario, and that's exactly why 408 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: this ain't gonna last you know, very long, you know, 409 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,360 Speaker 1: But I agree with you that that would be a problem. 410 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Now again, what I observed and witnessed, there was none 411 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: of that. Now the cops are there watching, so I 412 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: would imagine if they saw a kid, a youth, I mean, 413 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: I would hope the cops would then maybe do something. 414 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: You would have, but I don't know, you know, it's 415 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: just it's so it was just so wild to see 416 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: it literally everywhere, you know, everywhere, it's it's just insane. 417 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: And then and we world, Oh, so, are you familiar 418 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: with Bleaker Street, New York City? No, I'm not. What 419 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: is that Bleaker Street is? Uh, well, you know where 420 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: Greenwage Village, Greenwage Village. I've heard of it. I'm not. 421 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: I'm not so hip on game of it. So that 422 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: that's like the RT area and stuff in Bleaker Street. Now, 423 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: when I used to go to New York every couple 424 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: of years back in the nineties, I would beyond Bleaker 425 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: Street eighteen or nineteen big bars right in a row. 426 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: You go down to the basements for the jazz and 427 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: all the fucking music ship just the coolest, coolest spot. 428 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: Bleaker Street and you get drunk, right, So you know, 429 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: I go to Bleaker Street, we're walking up and down it, 430 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: and I see something called Weed World. I go in. 431 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: What is this place? And the guy happily says, it's 432 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: an adult use marijuana store. It's weed World.
