95
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,680

101
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,280

00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: college game ever went. So I went to the Gators. Man,

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,840

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: No Miami exactly. Yeah. Wait, I gotta slide with it.

105
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: I gotta gott to clarify that though, because the Gators

106
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: are Gainesville. And then I actually went to the U

109
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Borner rais born and raised Bay Boy through and through.

110
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: This guy's from the Bay too. That's so he claims

111
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: the Bay. He ain't really from the Bay. I mean,

112
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, I was born and raised nine five one

113
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,840

114
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: in the East Bay when it was not. But you know,

115
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159

116
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: Fields cookie factory right there. Yeah. It's funny because so many,

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: so much cannabis comes from the Bay areas we talked

118
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: about here, and of course you know you go North

119
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Bay Area, of course, the the Triangle for you know,

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: it's just in my opinion and a lot of our opinions.

121
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: You know, if you think of California cannabis, it's really

122
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: from the Bay Area. It's it's come to Los Angeles

123
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: a lots and the people from the Bay of migrated

124
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: here are a lot of people like but who we kidding?

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: The Emerald Triangle is where the best cannabis has usually

126
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: come from from the majority parts of this land of

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: what we call because they can grow it out outdoors

128
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: and all that. So it's cool that you come from there.

129
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: Did you grow up with cannabis in your backyard like

130
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: that or yeah? I mean fortunate or unfortunate growing up

131
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: as a kid in the Bay You're always around weed culture,

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, growing up and going to Mission Dolores or

133
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: People's Park. I buy my first rig on Big Owl's

134
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: uh in Berkeley and went to fast Let's got a

135
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: pizza and smoked out with everybody in you know. So

136
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: it's always been around who we are in the Bay.

137
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: So I think that's your favorite current pizza, uh, Pepperni.

138
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: That's it keeping easy, you know, And it's funny because

139
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: like even like if you're back in the day or

140
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: even today, you can go to Hayte and Nashbury pick

141
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: up a sack. You can go to Mission pick up

142
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: a sack. You can go to uh Telegraph and Berkeley.

143
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: And I'm just speaking a different part. I was in

144
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco and I'm Papa, and you can still pick

145
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: up a sack on the street from random folks. I

146
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: mean you can do that in Santilly in downtown la yea, yeah, yeah, yeah.

147
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: But back in the day, it was it was the norm,

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, and I think still to this day. You know,

149
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: the culture there is throw and through weed, you know. Yeah,

150
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: you know I I say this. You know, I'm Southern

151
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: California boy, but you know, all my life, man, we

152
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: always drove up to northern California to find, you know,

153
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: different good quality cannabis and and I was just so

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: blown away at such a young age on how many

155
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: people were growing cannabis up there, um, you know, in

156
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: their homes, like you know, I mean, we knew about

157
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: it out here, but it was like a few of

158
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: us that had a little growth or or we had

159
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: a warehouse that you know, it was like, don't tell

160
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: anybody about it. You can't tell nobody, and out there,

161
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, what I mean. It was like everybody out

162
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: there is like, yeah, I'm growing. Like you opened the

163
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: door and like he'd come over to my neighbor's house.

164
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: He's growing. I'm like, what the fund everybody's growing out here, dude.

165
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: It was just the culture. Yeah, we were running bogos

166
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: up there before anybody knew where the bog you know,

167
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: we had deals and uh, it was just always a

168
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: part of who we were. And if it wasn't you,

169
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: it was your cousin or your uncle or your grandma.

170
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: Somebody knew somebody. I think growing up in that always

171
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: exposed me, mostly in a positive light, to weed as

172
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: a culture. That's dope. But now let's talk about your education,

173
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: because you said you went to Miami to get your

174
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: degree NBA, talk about your schooling. Where are you going?

175
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: Would you do well? I think to be honest, Uh,

176
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: the past three plus years in in recreational we just

177
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: taught me much more than anybody could. I'll tell you

178
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: that could have saved two k But um, I think

179
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: going out there, one of the things in Miami is

180
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: you meet such a diverse crowd of people, as a

181
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: lot of international students, really good faculty, really good program uh,

182
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, kind of set in the tone of what

183
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship looks like. So I had a great experience, not

184
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: to mention weekends on South Beach, you know and Cuban time,

185
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: and it was enjoyable out there. It was a far

186
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: cry from you know, the undergrad experience at s F State,

187
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: which is a lot of transient. Not many people really

188
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: wanted to live in South City. A lot of fog,

189
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: a lot of fog. There was the nightlife in San

190
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: Francisco is never anything to write home about. So like

191
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: that college experience for me was really limited. And then

192
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: when I got the opportunity to go to Miami, I

193
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: was like, say less, I've never were the women out there?

194
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: Uh no comment the best. The one thing I missed

195
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: the most is because of the humidity, everybody's skin is

196
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: really good. You don't have to ext foliot, you don't

197
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: need all this. You're just out there and you're glowing.

198
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: And here now it is dry and it's hard, you know,

199
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: to keep moisturized. But um, everyone's in you know, good shape,

200
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: looking good. Oh yeah, that's the spot to go out

201
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 1: there and do it. And you don't look good in Miami, yeah,

202
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: well then you then you live in Broward somewhere. They

203
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: don't even let you buy a place out there. They're

204
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: looking at you like, okay, what size waste do you have?

205
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: And help bring your shoulders and what kind of bag

206
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: is that? Break it down? You go to Miami, you

207
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: get your NBA. How do how does the life cycle

208
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: get you to co founding this company? Well, I mean,

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: you know we That's why I asked the question. You know,

210
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: how long have I been in weed? I've been around

211
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: it all my life. But you know, I had a

212
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: big sneaker habit in high school and I was working

213
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: and I was doing sports and stuff, but we ran

214
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: a little four lighter just to supply my sneaker habit,

215
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: you know, So I take it back to that time. Um.

216
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: But I ended up working in San Francisco after my

217
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: NBA for about ten years. Uh, and then I started

218
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: getting in a technology I got in a crypto a

219
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: little bit, uh, and then I started doing like some

220
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: outsourced CFO work. I was looking to take a company public. Right, so,

221
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: there's operators in the state of California, this was around

222
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: two seventeen that were I in capital markets and trying

223
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: to figure out how to navigate that territory. That's my

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: core competency. Uh. And then one day, I think it

225
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 1: was probably like March, my partner now who I had

226
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: met previously, shoutout sturday. Um. He said, hey, I got

227
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: a license. I'm in l A. I said, I don't

228
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: really know what that means, but I'll see you tomorrow.

229
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: And I packed my bag and Ivious been here ever since.

230
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: So the guy just said, I have a license. That's

231
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: that's the seth that version. But it was just I

232
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: have a license, and uh, like, let's build a company.

233
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: And I said, okay, yeah, like that's cool because I

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: want to build something, you know, and that's what I

235
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: had been doing previously. I didn't want to take something

236
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: that was already functional and then scale that. It was

237
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: much more attractive to be an entrepreneur and building that.

238
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: We And how long ago that was. I came down

239
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: here at the beginning of nineteen uh and we hard

240
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: launched in the market at the end often. But when

241
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 1: I showed up to that warehouse, I got a license.

242
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: Man as a couple of years ago, I was three

243
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: years ago. Jeez. Also, I said, like I remember I

244
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: had my remember bag, my smoke shop, and you know,

245
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: I was telling them hitting this off on air, but

246
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, they I've seen line. They had like a bag,

247
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: a bag, Duffel bag, you know. And that was when

248
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: the cookies Duffel bags in l A. They were knocking

249
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: his ship off obviously, and maybe maybe it was him,

250
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I was like, what's the line.

251
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what, but I was. But the

252
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: guy was like, Yo, the bags are dub But I'm like,

253
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I'll take all the cookie bags. I know they was

254
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna sell. He's like, bo, just take this one. It's

255
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of sell. I kept that. I think the

256
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: bag still at the store, you know what I'm saying

257
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: three years later, because this is probably like three years ago, right,

258
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: and so you know, and and he was like, that's

259
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: not my bag, like it's quality and he said like

260
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: we got firebags now. So I don't know, you know.

261
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: And it wasn't it wasn't that. It wasn't that. Um

262
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: the bag was not dope. No one knew about it yet,

263
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And the guy in downtown,

264
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: they knocked everything off, you know what I mean. And

265
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: so I'm assuming there was a knockoff you know, and

266
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: they're kind of cutting in so know what's coming. They know,

267
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: they know before we do. Yeah, yeah, they see it

268
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: because they're seeing it from every state. They got Jordan's

269
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,120

330
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: lines have you got here? What was the first one?

331
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 1: Because you guys now have you know plus minus four

332
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: hundred products? You started this cup when you co founded

333
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: with your partner, you come out here in two thousand nineteen,

334
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: what do you guys sit down and go, we're gonna

335
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: come up with what? Well I should I should give

336
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: him some context. He was in prerec market, so he

337
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: did a lot of vapes in the prerec market, and

338
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: so that kind of gave him the understanding. Literally built

339
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: a lab in a studio I think in studio city,

340
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: like in the back of the house, and was making oil,

341
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: learning the process there. And then when you know he

342
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: was trying to make that transition from pre reck to wreck,

343
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: he's like, well, we now we got to build a

344
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: brand in the wreck market, and what does that look like?

345
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: And you know, as we're brain storming in again, I

346
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: highlight the fact that I came down to l A.

347
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: I met him the next day almost an abandoned warehouse

348
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: in downtown l A. Cockroaches everywhere, just gnarly, no infrastructure,

349
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: no build out. And I'm like, so we gotta do

350
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: construction before we launch a brand, before we get into market. Right,

351
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: the process that I'm sure everybody's been through now time

352
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: and time again. Um, and you know, we sat in

353
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: that room and we're like, what makes people feel good? Right?

354
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,880
Speaker 1: What what's a brand that whether I'm in Rhode Island, Miami, uh,

355
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: New York, l A, San Francisco, like I can associate with?

356
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: And I was like, you know, I like Lime, tacos,

357
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: tequila Friday night. It's just really it's just really easy, right.

358
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: You associate good things in your life with line, maybe

359
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: a little chicken noodle soup. Uh, So the best things

360
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: in life come with the Lime on the side. So

361
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: for us, we it was really easy that we're like, okay,

362
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: run it, let's go with that one. And then we

363
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: started thinking about the taglines and the slogans and all

364
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: that stuff. And then we're like, okay, well, we don't

365
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: have any infrastructure here, so we gotta start to build

366
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: some stuff out that we can get to market. And

367
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: the first product was a blunt it's our core skew.

368
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: To this day, we've sold more into a blunts than

369
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: any other product. You guys just want an award with Yeah,

00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: do anything. Shout out to the team. We have a

372
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: small team that rolls those by hand every single day,

373
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: breaking down the flower by hand, putting in the glass

374
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: tip organic hemp wrap. Every single day they roll those

375
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: by hand. Shout out to that team. Yeah, that's amazing

376
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: when you see things like that. How many rollers are

377
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: doing that? Six? Six? How many they do you have?

378
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: Like they yeah, they got a number, but but they

379
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: crush it. They crush it and we're so thankful for them.

380
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: Without them, we wouldn't have won the best blunt, right.

381
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: It's their nurture into that product. We call it a

382
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: labor of love. You know, a lot of sweat equity

383
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: into that product. And uh, it shows, it shows, it

384
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: does because it takes a lot to actually roll a

385
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: consistent yeah smoking blunt. You know what I mean, Someday

386
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: how many times did it take them before they were

387
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: great at it? You know? Yeah, practice makes perfect. Tell Yeah,

388
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have. Because if you don't break the

389
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: weed up properly, and it's clogged. You just you you.

390
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: That is a product, especially growing and growing up in

391
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 1: the Bay. That's a product that's very near and dear

392
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: to a smoking experience, right, Like it was who got

393
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: the best bars? Right, and we're gonna sit here and

394
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna, you know, fight over who can roll the

395
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: best blunt? Right, everybody want to remember those days. If

396
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: I got a Vegas, I was doing Peach Optimus. I mean,

397
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: of course the o g were the Switzer sweets. Yeah, yeah,

398
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: and if you asked me, the originals are the sweet right.

399
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: That's before you could get ten for a dollar or

400
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: whatever it is, and then you have to clean it out.

401
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: You split them. You split, Oh yeah, you get your

402
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: nail because if you had a thumbnail, you just crack.

403
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: But I usually keep by little razor because my razor

404
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: will be used for a couple of things, you know,

405
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, my credit card

406
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: exactly exactly twenty four years so down. So it's funny

407
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: that you guys, that's your big one. It would like

408
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: that it was just for us a really important product

409
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: to do, right, And I think as you start to

410
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: automate things, you lose the character of the blunt, right

411
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: you You don't want a machine to put that thing

412
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: together when it it's so nostalgic to a lot of people.

413
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: So you know, we've had options to kind of like

414
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: roll out an automation for the blunt, but we continue.

415
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: But a glass hip is kind of hard to use

416
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: from machine, I would imagine. I mean, you can take

417
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: it and then insert it at the end, but at

418
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: the end of the day, um, that experience for the

419
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 1: smoker we want, and we wanted to bring them back

420
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: to a place where they're like, man, this is what

421
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: I used to smell. Is that the blunt right there,

422
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: blue that you're holding. It's in there somewhere. And it's

423
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: two grams too, too. Graham blunt, that's a big boy. Yeah,

424
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: what is that retail for it? We like him. We

425
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: like him in the store around twenty bucks. And I

426
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: was telling this, yeah, yeah, of course, yeah. I was

427
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: telling someone the other day. I was like, man, we

428
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: used to have to throw a lot more than twenty

429
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: to get a two Graham blunt. I mean that would

430
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: it cost us about fifty sixty back in the day.

431
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: But we again, we we focus with our brand, the

432
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: three piece product price potency. We want to give you

433
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: the best product with the most optimal potency for the

434
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: best price. Weed is not that complicated. And I know

435
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: you guys have been using your growers forever. It says

436
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: you have your o G growers. Who's been and how

437
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 1: did you guys pick all these guys? Is that you?

438
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: Is it him? And who is it? I wish I

439
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: could take the credit for that. My little brother actually

440
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: runs our procurement and he's been in the game since

441
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: probably before I have. He he got he was in

442
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: uh a dispensary in Valleo, California that got raided in

443
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: like two thousand six, Like this was a long time ago.

444
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: And um, so he had then he had moved back

445
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: to Oregon. He was working on a lot of legacy

446
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: farms up there. Um and then when he came down

447
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: to l A and started doing procurement for us, we

448
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: just sent him up to the hill. And you know,

449
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: he's a he's a really like, easy going guy, easy

450
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: to get along with, but he's from that culture. I'm straight, um,

451
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and he was able to connect into a word world

452
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: that is traditionally very you know, off standing to outsiders.

453
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: So you know, he built out that whole procurement network

454
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: for US uh. And he was bringing down the flower

455
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: and where do you guys grow it? Now, it's all

456
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: we all pull it from Emerald Triangle. So we sourced

457
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 1: with farms up there. It's a really small amount of farms,

458
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: maybe ten twelve. Uh. They're all generational cultivators um. For

459
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: our infused products. We use those guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

460
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: just the ridge, there's a lot. There's a lot of products.

461
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: Ial River, there's a lot, Bembo Bat Valley. Yeah. Yeah,

462
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: there's like all those guys, man, you know that. It's

463
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: it's I mean, they're they're true to the legacy, you know,

464
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: that's what's important. Well, and it's funny. That's how we

465
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: started the show saying the best cannabis is from out there, right,

466
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: I mean we just said that at the beginning of

467
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: the show. And I think that's where you guys are

468
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: utilizing the Emerald Triangle for your product. Hence your winning

469
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: best blunt and your product is lime time. Everybody knows

470
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: of it now and it's it's loud. You guys are

471
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: in over four hundred, five hundred different stores as well,

472
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: and your number one is the blunt. So you guys.

473
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: Is that the first product you said, you guys actually

474
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: came up. But yeah, we started with the flower, So

475
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: we started bringing that flower down, we started packaging the flower. Uh,

476
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: that market shifts a lot, right, So we were learning

477
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: as we did that. But then we started rolling out

478
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: pre rolls. But what we like to say is through

479
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: the end of till today, we've launched of the product

480
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: that includes the gummies, the surrup, the content traits. Um.

481
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's sometimes hard to keep tracking when

482
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: we send out the menus. There's a lot on there, right,

483
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: so um yeah, now probably four hundred, four hundred twenty

484
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: skoos on the many, four hundred twenty okay, supports money

485
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: there you go. What's your favorite? I like the blunt

486
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: because that's what I like to smoke. But I think

487
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: the one that's the most unique, the one that has

488
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: the coolest kind of form factor and offering is the surup.

489
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: I mean not many people do that. Uh, it's a

490
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: really it's a product that spans generations. What does that

491
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: come like? When it bid me? Like, if I was

Speaker 1: Lorraine Oils dot com. Our man, Gee, sorry, I had

502
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,320

Speaker 1: some of your products to help treat my body with

506
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 1: its Probably maybe then this met foreman and everything else

507
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: that I'm taking, you know what I mean, but from

508
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: God's green Earth. And it's true though, I've been using

509
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: a lot of cannabis products on my ankle as well,

510
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: as I had to call and figure out what I'm

511
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: taking for this nerve pain that I have going on.

512
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: So that's a bunch of medical stuff that I got

513
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: going on with my I had literally had an ankle

514
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: surgery in January, and I have been using a lot

515
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: of cannabis products for it, and it's just controlling the

516
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: nerve pain that I got going on, that's just shooting

517
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: up my back, like the sciatica and all of a

518
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: sudden bullshit that I got going on to. I know

519
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: you guys mentioned you guys got some syrup going on him. Yeah,

520
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: I mean that's a product that might be perfect for us,

521
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: to be honest, I mean that is something that in

522
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: in in the small amount that it is packs a

523
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: big punch for the same efficacy or dosage that you

524
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: would have to get for that you would have to

525
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 1: buy ten packs of edibles, right, if the the edible

526
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 1: packages or a hundred milligrams, you would have to buy

527
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: ten of those to equate what's in that bottle. And

528
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: again it's really good for pain management sleep aid. We

529
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: found out a lot of people, you know, half a

530
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: third cap take it out the end of the night, um,

531
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: and it works for sure, it works. So you know

532
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: this something like this is a is a heavy dose,

533
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean a thousand milligrams, right, So it's not for

534
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 1: the beginner, it's not. Well, it could be if it

535
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: was dost properly, you know, if you if you put

536
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: like you know and That's why I actually want to

537
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: talk about because you know, a lot of people don't

538
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: take the time to educate those that that haven't right.

539
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you guys, you guys, it's your you know,

540
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: fiduciary responsibility. But as as all of us in the industry,

541
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: we know, you know. But but the the folks that

542
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: that don't know, you know, they might go to their

543
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: parents and go here, take this, and they're like, oh,

544
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: just take a shot of it, and they take a

545
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: shot of it next to you know, the parents on

546
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: the floor going what the hell, I'll never do that again,

547
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: and their experience is completely ruined. But if you if

548
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: you learn your dose and you take just a small

549
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: amount and you and you enjoy that, you know, it

550
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: can be very pleasing. And uh, I think we're people.

551
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: How is this recommended? Because as I look at this bottle,

552
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: it literally because you mentioned earlier on the show, my

553
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: kids have been sick. I have bottles like this all

554
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: around my house right now of real medicine, I know.

555
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm saying to me, uh, to us,

556
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this now, reading lime one thousand milligram

557
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: made with live or resin and it's Sarah. How is

558
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: this recommended to take in? How should one take this? Why?

559
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: I think to your point, all experiences are different, right,

560
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: So whether you're a first time or an avid edible

561
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: or team shirt user, I think it's measure for success, right,

562
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: take a little bit, test it out, see how it

563
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: affects you on an empty stomach, on a full stomach,

564
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: maybe with something else, you know, mix it in a

565
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: drink so that way you can see how your body digested.

566
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 1: I think it's going to affect all of us differently.

567
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: For me, I just like to take a cap and

568
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: then a shot at tequila. It works really well. I'm

569
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: not too overbearingly tired. I still have a little bit

570
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: of energy. But then we know some people that might

571
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: drink half of the bottle and that and feel fine,

572
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 1: and that's their tolerance level. So to your point, again,

573
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: when you see something that might be a little bit

574
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: intimidating a thousand milligrams, it's really not if you have

575
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: a dose schedule that is unique to you, and I

576
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: think that's what we encourage people do. Try it based

577
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: on what you look like the whole like, you might

578
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: take a teaspoon of that, you know what I mean

579
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: and and and and that would be less than fifty probably,

580
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: but but but you know, taking a teaspoon of it

581
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: may give you twenty five or grams or ten milligrams?

582
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: It is it about twenty okay, so teaspoons about twenty

583
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: So personally I might do like a half a tea

584
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 1: spoon because I don't like to get super ripped, you know,

585
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: So I do like maybe five or ten milligrams, and

586
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: then just let us sit and see how it tastes.

587
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: And as you have this, because this is my first

588
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: time talking to a company that's made the product like this, right,

589
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: so I don't understand. I don't know enough about this

590
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: type of product. It looks like cough syrup medicine? Is

591
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: it recommended? It? Just because you know, my throat is

592
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: feeling funny right now? My wife's been six she's coffee

593
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: that my daughter was throwing up last night from coffee?

594
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: Could it be used as those type of medicines that

595
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: it looks like, meaning it looks like cough medicine. I

596
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: know it's th HC cannabis infused syrup. Can it be

597
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 1: used for a cough syrup? I think the form factor

598
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: that bottle is just dictated by what is in there. Right,

599
00:28:58,120 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: it's not necessary, That's what I mean. It looks like

600
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like that. And for better or worse,

601
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: the government in state of California has now changed our

602
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: ability in the way that we're going to offer that product.

603
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: So now we need to move it from a four

604
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: ounce bottle to a two ounce bottle. So the lime

605
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: form factor is going to change a little bit. They

606
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: changed the bottle. Yeah, it's coming smaller. Yeah, it's gonna

607
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: be small or something as California maybe because of the

608
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: same things I'm saying in my eye looks at it

609
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: going because like, look at that. That looks like something

610
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: you're getting at CBS over the counter. Uh you know

611
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like your doctor just sent you to

612
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: go get which I would love. And we've been crying

613
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: for the fact that that I want us to be

614
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: able to get that. I want my kids realistically to

615
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: be able to take something like this with a th

616
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: HC form natural rather than the stuff that they're getting.

617
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: And it should be some cought serrup in some of them, right,

618
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: that actually gives that that cough, That's what I mean. Yeah,

619
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: that adds to it. Some of the th h C.

620
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: It would be like instead of the alcohol being in it. Right. Sure,

621
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: I just think like as innovation comes in products, it's

622
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: gonna take time. Right, there's so much red tape to

623
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: be able to actually innovate what goes in there. And

624
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: in order to do that, you know, we have to

625
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: have a little bit different changes in the rules. So

626
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,719
Speaker 1: for now we type, we follow a very uh formulated schedule. Right,

627
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: we do all this stuff in house. We're the only

628
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: one doing single strain life resin So that's another thing

629
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: to write. If you know how a certain strain affects you,

630
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: you can pick our syrup over maybe some of the

631
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: competitor brands. So like this one is green Apple and

632
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: it's infused with Jack Carrere. So if you know how

633
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 1: Jack Carreyer it affects you, you can pick the syrups.

634
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: Some of the syrups out there, they don't have strand

635
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: specificity and what is in these syrups Because when I

636
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: think of syrups, I think of heavy sugar, no sugar,

637
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: So like what is no sugar? It's all proprietary blend

638
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: but no sugar, no animal byproducts. We were our last

639
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: one was vegan. We had to change some of the

640
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: stuff because of COVID that goes in there. Um, we

641
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: use pecton, you know, which is not an animal by product.

642
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: So uh in terms of like people who have other

643
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: underlying conditions, Again, I'm not a medical professional, so can

644
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: sold your local one before you take it. But the

645
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: product or the formulation that is in there, uh, we

646
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: get rave reviews. And that's from all walks of life, right,

647
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: that's from a year old to a sixty year old.

648
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: As you said that, I was just on the phone

649
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: with my primary doctor, and my primary doctor I did

650
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,959
Speaker 1: literally say, would you also recommend me to use cannabis?

651
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: I wanted to test the waters again with her, and

652
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: she was like, I don't see it being a problem

653
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: if you wanted to use it for your nerve pain.

654
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: So if it, you know, gets just because I'm on

655
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: a different pill that they're giving me, and so she

656
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: and it's supposed to help me with sleeping and all

657
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: this other stuff. So I wanted to see how she

658
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: would react and what she would say, not knowing that

659
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: I was just doing a show right now in between

660
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: between and as you say, check with your doctor, I did,

661
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: and she said I could take some stuff as long

662
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: as you know it's it's you feel okay with it

663
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: and you're comfortable. Yes, of course try it. It's all natural,

664
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: which is better than a lot of doctors I here

665
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: recommend for people out there. No, I don't know or

666
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: whatever else. So that's that's funny that you say that,

667
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: And I just got done asking mine. What else do

668
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: we have here? Because the syrup it's daytime, nighttime, anytime. Yeah.

669
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean again, it depends on how much you want

670
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: to take, you know, it depends on your tolerance. Like

671
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: I said, we have people that consume a cap half

672
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: a bottle. We have some people that consume the whole

673
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: bottle in one sitting. And again that's not you know,

674
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: my dosage, But there are people who have worked up

675
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: that tolerance that that's what they do. M Michael Washerman.

676
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah man, Oh, Mark Washerman could pound that. Mark will

677
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: pound that thing down. And if I pound that thing down,

678
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: I'll be you pounded down. I'll be crying. Yeah, No,

679
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: I would cry. Yeah, I'd be laid out. Yeah, I'd

680
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: be like, somebody take it away, can get it? Oh,

681
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: that is so funny. I love the way every there.

682
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: I love the limes stick are not the sticker, they're

00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: say we had Lime version one point oh, that we

687
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: concocted in that you know, cockroach infested place in downtown

688
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: l A before we got there, and that packaging version

Speaker 1: many awards. Just what else are you guys doing that's

699
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: coming up in the future, Because at four products? As

700
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: I look on the website, I mean there's just an

701
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: abundance to look at. It's not like one or two things.

702
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: You can look at this, you can look at that.

703
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: How many more things are you guys planning to come

704
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: up with We got a few products up our sleep.

705
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that we've done

706
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: recently in terms of innovation in the products skew that

707
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: I want to talk about is the pre roles. So

708
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of companies either infuse

709
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: on the outside or infuse on the inside, or one

710
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: or the other. We infuse on the inside and on

711
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the outside, so we're triple infused pre roll And again

712
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: those are for the h Yeah that was that was that,

713
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: That was that purple zaza. But you know what's cool

714
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: is we make this formulation. We infuse liquid diamonds and

715
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: ice water hash on the inside and then we dusted

716
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: and keep on the outside. So it really gives a

717
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: unique flavor profile that aids in the flower gives you

718
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: a unique high and uh, it's a high tester, that's

719
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: for sure. But outside of um product innovation, we're launching

720
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: our directed consumer initiative. It's we've been working on it

721
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,200

Speaker 1: is j Yeah, so we're we're excited about that. Um,

734
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: everything about the experience is branded Limes, so you'll never

735
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: know who else is behind the scenes. It's it's a

736
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 1: Lime delivery bag, it's a Lime driver, it's a Lime

737
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 1: shopping experience. And for us, we want to love that

738
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: you guys are working together exactly and that that's great.

739
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: Everything's line, everything's lyning, and we want the same experience

740
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: that you come into the store and that the bud

741
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,359
Speaker 1: tenders and the stores give you. We want that same

742
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: experience to be delivered to your home. Right. So, we

743
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: have a lot of people that for whatever reason might

744
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: not be able to make it down to the shop

745
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: today or it might be you know, out of reach.

746
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: But now that we can bring lime straight to the

747
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: doorstep and do it at a price that's reasonable because

748
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's our part and it's your well. Now

749
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: that's it's well well. And this is also when you

750
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: start getting into this part of it. This is you know,

751
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: marketing right Like it's like who's branding the best, who's

752
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: marketing the best? This is business one. I wanted to

753
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: get to that level because now again you don't have

754
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: to worry about who goes into the store. I'm bringing

755
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 1: it straight to you. That means I'm driving it straight

756
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: to you. That means I'm marketing it straight to you.

757
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: I'm you know, building that following, you know, and and

758
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: and that's what you know, quite frankly, the way I

759
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: think it should be. Especially when a little small car

760
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: pull up and it looks like a line, I'm gonna

761
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: be driving that. Yeah. We just want to create a

762
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 1: really unique customer experience, right And we have a huge

763
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: community of line people, millions throughout the state. And now

764
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 1: they're like, wow, well I can get them delivered to

765
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: my house and it's it's your product, and I buy

766
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,879
Speaker 1: it on your website. It's it's for us so many

767
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: stores and with people being able to do it all

768
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: over the state. Where are you guys popping the hardestet? Uh?

769
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: We or cow crushes it for us? Nor cow crushes it.

770
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: But I would say down here South Bay Long Beach,

771
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: San Diego, we have a really robust presence all the

772
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: way to the I e. Needles in Arizona or Vega. Yeah,

773
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: we're we're looking at it. I think what's really important

774
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: for us talking about this omni channel shopping experiences. We

775
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: want to win here first. Right, there's a thousand brands

776
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 1: in California and everyone's fighting for their own slice of heaven. Right.

777
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: We feel that the war for the West is not over.

778
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: And you know we have a dedicated following. We want

779
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: to build on that here before we get distracted by

780
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: anything else. Smart. I think you guys are some intelligent boys.

781
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: I'll say I I look forward to meeting your partner too. Yeah,

782
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: he's great. Again, we'll get him on the next one

783
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: sent me, wrote G in the onboarding form here that

784
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about and your thoughts

785
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: on which you're concerned about are the taxes, the regulation

786
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: and safe banking, and we know talking to other owners

787
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: and as we can see and read, all those things

788
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: are crushing people. I mean some of the smaller clients

789
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: can't even compete. How are you guys able to look

790
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,799
Speaker 1: at this and what are you projecting when you see

791
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: what's going on in the market, and how you guys

792
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: ready to deal with this? Well, as we know, safe

793
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: banking just failed again, right, And I think that that's

794
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: something coming from the world of finance. It's something that's

795
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: so readily available capital and I think that's one thing

796
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: that not only have we as a company been able

797
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: to you know, traverse and navigate kind of those pitfalls. Um,

798
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: we've did it with no outside capital. Me and my

799
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,720
Speaker 1: partner in the business, pcent We've raised no money today

800
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: and really we've scaled it just because I think it's

801
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: it's his core competence of product development, operational expertise, knowing

802
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 1: what the market is looking for, and then being a

803
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 1: finance professional and strategic professional being able to try to

804
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: navigate some of these rules or figure out what is

805
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: the best strategy versus to a d But I feel

806
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 1: especially for the cultivators, right, I mean, if they're selling

807
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: pounds at less than what it costs them to grow.

808
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: We funked up. We did something wrong there, and and

809
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. Someone needs to do something about it, right,

810
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: And how how do you do that? You force them

811
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: to to to the black mark to live. And then

812
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: and then now you're finding the black market. You know,

813
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: the guys that are on both markets are coming in

814
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,879
Speaker 1: to find you know there there's all kinds of things.

815
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: So what do you see as far as correction, like,

816
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, a solution, do you have them? Yeah? I

817
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: think as of right now. You know, it starts on

818
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: a local level, right. So one of the you know,

819
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: unfortunate things especially about like my generation, not a lot

820
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: of people are voting, especially like in their local county stuff.

821
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: But you know it's those city supervisors who are administering

822
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: the local city tax, right, And most people don't know that.

823
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: And I try to explain it to my grandma, like, hey, Grandma,

824
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: if I make this microphone, I get to expense everything

825
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: that went in there and deduct it from what I

826
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: owe to the government on a tax basis, right, But

827
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: in weed you don't get to do that. And she's like, well,

828
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: that's not appropriate, that's not right. So it's like, on

829
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: such a basic level, we know that the systems flawed.

830
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: We have to do our part right to get out

831
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: there and get people to vote for you know, city

832
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: council and commissioners and supervisors that are going to start

833
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: with the local tax, right, and then we go to

834
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: the state tax. And I think the state tax I

835
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: saw today, I inc uh, we are the fourth highest highest.

836
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: I think Alaska is the highest on what we pay

837
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: per ounce um. And again, it's just it is a

838
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: non incentivizer for people to come into the market. So

839
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: many people like, oh, wow, you're in weed business. You

840
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: must make all this money. I'm like, well, it doesn't

841
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: really work that well, not if you're really playing. The

842
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: taxis not if you were trying to scale. We invest

843
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: every single dollar that we make in this business back

844
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: into the business, because that's what you gotta do. You

845
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: have to Yeah, that's that's that's gonna be the growth. Man.

846
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: I'm proud of you guys. Man, this is a beautiful company.

847
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually a little more educated about it today, and

848
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: I actually like that because you know, we need good

849
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: operators like yourselves that understand business that can come in

850
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: and actually turn these companies into a scalable model and

851
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: then actually exit right if if that's your goal, but

852
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: but if not, whatever, but I assume and and but

853
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: but doing in such a manner that it was delivered properly.

854
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: It was it was you know, handed up, the keys

855
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: were handed off properly because a lot of times, you know,

856
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: people are buying into companies that have these, you know,

857
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: but the some asks and all companies are mess especially

858
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: in this industry. Yeah, yeah, you know, we're building to

859
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: play in the middle of the air, of course, but

860
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: it's nice to know that, you know, you guys have

861
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: got what it seems like most of it together. And

862
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 1: not only that, they got the pre rolls, the blunts,

863
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: the flower they got the vapes that concentrates the syrups,

864
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: and the gummies and the gummies look phenomenal. Those are

865
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: those We got some gummies in in the swag pack.

866
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: Those one leaf Link fastest growing edible company last year.

867
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: So you know, the team works really hard. I mean,

868
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: I can sit up here and have this conversation with

869
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: you about finance and whatever, but in terms of formulation

870
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: and just bringing a product that hits to the customer

871
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: every single time, it's my team manufacturing team, it's the

872
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 1: sales team, it's the distribution drivers. I'm here because of them,

873
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: and we wouldn't be anywhere with Lime time if it

874
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: wasn't for them. Car and communicate Baby. I love that

882
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: looks great, the quality seems great, everything about it is awesome.

883
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: And now we like to do a high five with

884
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: everybody that we bring on here. Gee. So I don't

885
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: know if you've heard the questions, real kind of simple

886
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: but just fun five with every guest that comes on

887
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: the show. It is now time to do it with

888
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: Giovanni Humphreys, the co founder and chief financial officer of Lime.

889
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 1: How old are the first time you smoked cannabis? And

890
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: where'd you get it from? How old? Yes, seventh grade

891
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: and it was kind of like an infamous story. Uh,

892
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: we ditch school. We got it from I think like

893
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: my boy's cousin. We did school, took the bus to Bart,

894
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: then took Bart to Peer thirty nine in San Francisco.

895
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: We went to the top of the parking garage at

896
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:52,959
Speaker 1: the aquarium or whatever. We had one little pin or joint,

897
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: but we've all got high. And then we got back

898
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: to school before school was over so our parents could

899
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: pick us up. And then to be honest, I think

900
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: somebody like snitched on us and we all got like

901
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: kicked out for a week or something. But we were

902
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 1: we were infamous. Everyone was like, man, those boys did

903
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: those boys got out. So that was that was the

904
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: first time a great story. It was good. It was good.

905
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: We had a blast in the city. I'm telling you

906
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 1: question over two of the High five, what is your

907
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: favorite way to use or smoke cannabis? I think as

908
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: a person growing up smoking blunt and you know, always

909
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: my friends always tell you I was the first to

910
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: call after school and be like, who got five on it?

911
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: You know? And Roland blunts was important to us, hot

912
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: box it was important. So I think it has to

913
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: be smoking, you know, um, tried and true, and I

914
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: think that for me, there's something you know, nostalgic about

915
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: that for me. So it's a bond hit. Yeah, we're

916
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: passing it. Were passing. You gotta get out. Craziest place

917
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: she ever used or smoked cannabis. I don't know about,

918
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: like really crazy, but because you know, we're building this

919
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: brand and we're trying to get eyes on it, we're

920
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: trying to storytell every place that I travel, I bring lime,

921
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm doing shots in Amsterdam, I'm doing

922
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: shots in Germany. I'm doing shots in Cabo. I think

923
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: for me, those are all exotic, right, those are all

924
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,839
Speaker 1: places that I want to learn about. But it's cool

925
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: that I get to bring lime that I remember. The

926
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 1: last time I was in Cabo, I met this guy

927
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: on the beach and he tells me. He says, hey,

928
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: you know I have everything. He's like, I have everything

929
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 1: that you need. He said, my name is Hector. Hector

930
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: the Connector. And I said, okay, I said, but I

931
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 1: got something for you. I got that line and he

932
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm not selling this, I'm smoking all of it.

933
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 1: So like to create those memories with international people and

934
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: people abroad. Uh, that's exotic to me. That's you're the connector.

935
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: I know where to find and if you don't find him,

936
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: he'll find you. Like yo. If it ain't Hector, it

937
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,400

Speaker 1: that's easy. It has to be popped. It has to be.

952
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 1: I think there's something about him, and I know it's

953
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: kind of missed on the youth these days, right. I

954
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: try to listen to a lot of music that's out

955
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,800
Speaker 1: there now, But there was something about that man's soul,

956
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: you know, It's something that was so deep rooted within him.

957
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: And to be honest, he has roots in the Bay.

958
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: He came up with digital underground like he was in Oakland,

959
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 1: he was in marin and he always put on for

960
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: the Bay, whether that was with Rapping Fote or E

961
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: forty or Too Short. There's always that legacy for me

962
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: and who he was and the impact he still has. Man, Man,

963
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,680

981
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: think you know, when when you look at cannabis brands, right,

982
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: there's a lot, there's a lot of choice when you

983
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: go into the store, you go online, you go to

984
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: weed maps. UH. For us, you know, we work really

985
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: hard and we have a small team. We don't have

986
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: a big group behind us. We don't have a lot

987
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 1: of money. But what money we do have and what

988
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, things we do give back. It's from the

989
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: bottom of our heart because that's what you know, that's

990
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: what we have to offer. And I think our community outreach,

991
00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: our community support, our community involvement is really what sets

992
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: us apart. We don't do it because it's you know,

993
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. We do it because it's

994
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: right right, that's what's gonna set us apart. So UM,
