You probably got another candidate who's pushing cannabis. 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: You know. Before we get started, I wanted your opinion 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: on something. What you think about if the pandemic is 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: still affecting cannabis sales in the legal sector, just absolutely 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: how well? I mean, it's the deliveries are out of 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: our crazy right, there's deliveries. They're being there, they're being 24 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: ordered everywhere. It's an essential business. But it's still illegal. Well, 25 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,839 Speaker 1: but the interesting part is do you realize that while 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: the uptick in sales at legal stores spiked the first 27 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 1: part of the pandemic, it is now trailed off because 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: of the black market because people are now needing to 29 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: save money and they're going to the illicit market, elicit 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: deliveries and elicit stores to buy their cannabis. Even though 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: cannabis is at all time high in sales, it's not 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: trickling into the regulated market. The black market is going 33 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: to thrive until until the regulators change things and make 34 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: it more accessible, make it easier, make the less taxes, 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: less taxes, less tory hurdles, and what about the whole 36 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: process just to get a license, it's a nightmare. Might 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: as well stay in the black market. That's what a 38 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: lot of people are doing and taking their risk, taking 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 1: their chances. Anyways, out of Virginia, we have a Democratic 40 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: gubernatorial candidate, Jennifer Carol Foy tweeted, we should legalize marijuana 41 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: in Virginia. Now, why that's so important is because there's 42 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: a lot of candidates who are He's saying it should 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: be decriminalized. While it's not a bad first step, legalized 44 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: is a lot different than decriminalized. Doesn't go far enough 45 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: to just decriminalize, right, Explain that to our listeners. Why 46 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: that what the difference is, and to be careful in 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: states where it's quote unquote legal that it's really not 48 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: overall legal. It's just decriminalized to a point. Right. They 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: they they've done things like take felonies, made a misdemeanors, 50 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: made misdemeanors down to infractions, but people can still get 51 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: busted for having the plant. It's not completely legal unless 52 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: it is completely legalized, taken off the Schedule one and 53 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,959 Speaker 1: taken out of all penal codes. When there's decriminalization, it 54 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: still appears in the penal codes. So that's that's a huge, 55 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: huge problem and a huge difference. We don't want. I mean, 56 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: like you said, it's a good step in the direction, 57 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: but let's just bypass that step. Yeah, completely legalized, I 58 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: mean because now if you go to a legal store 59 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: in California, you can have twenty eight grams or less 60 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: without a recommendation for medical Let's say you walk out 61 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: of there or whatever, and you have you have a 62 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: couple of grams over twenty eight grams, you have thirty 63 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: four grams. You could literally get a misdemeanor for having 64 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: possession and transportation of over an ounce of weed. And 65 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: it's just ridiculous that that still exists. So the more 66 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: the more politicians that actually come out and say we 67 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: should legalize it is super super important. Still ain't gonna 68 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: happen unless McConnell's out of there. Yeah, well unless McConnell's 69 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: out or the Democrats take over the Senate. And even then, 70 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: even then, I read a whole article on Biden on 71 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: how it's gonna be iffy that the Congress if we 72 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: have a if we have a Democratic House and Senate, 73 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be able to pass legalization, to 74 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: get it off to the schedule its scheduled, because Biden, 75 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna do it. He still got 76 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: his head up his ass on cannabis issues. Well, there's 77 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: still a chance Trump Trump may do it before the election. 78 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: I hope he tried. I hope it's a last ditch 79 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: effort to you know, get more support, which would be great. 80 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: Go ahead, and I don't not say it's gonna change 81 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: people's minds. I don't think. But if he thinks it could, 82 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: maybe maybe change some minds, I don't think it would. 83 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: But if he thinks that, good, go ahead and take 84 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: it off the schedule list. Potentially your very last act 85 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: as a president. I would hope that would be it. 86 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: And then bye bye. Yeah, then we got Biden to 87 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: deal with. So I mean, it's like, watch what you 88 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: wish for. You know, it's his track record, his spotty 89 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: as well. But you know, people have to get out 90 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: and vote. People get out and vote from the city 91 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: level up. If you want cannabis laws to change in 92 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: your city, it starts at the city level. Even if 93 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: the state says it's legal, like here in California semi 94 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: legally criminalize whatever you wanna call it, you still have 95 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: cities that have the authority to ban it in their 96 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: city even though it's allowable at the state level. So 97 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: you have to get out and know your council people, 98 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 1: know whose positions are on what and uh, and get 99 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: out there and vote and vote in people who are 100 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: pro cannabis. Don't see the harm, don't see the guy 101 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 1: is falling, don't see read for madness, and get out 102 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: those old foks who just can't see the light. You 103 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: can start petitions to vote them out. The people that 104 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: you voted them in, you can just as easily vote 105 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: them out. It just takes work, commitment and people getting 106 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: together with the same agenda. So it's you know, and 107 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,679 Speaker 1: there's people out there like, oh, my vote doesn't count. 108 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: My vote, why why am I going to vote? It 109 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: doesn't count? And and the problem is when everybody does 110 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: that collectively, it counts, and your vote, your vote counts, 111 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,119 Speaker 1: And you've got to get that into your head and 112 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: and start at the local level. Like my brother said, 113 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: what other news you got for us today, Well, we've 114 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: got one more. We've got another California Democratic congressional candidate, 115 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,919 Speaker 1: Shahid Bhutar. He tweeted, this is a great tweet. We 116 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: need more candidates like this. In my first term in Congress, 117 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: we will organize Democrats and Republicans alike to finally remove 118 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: cannabis from the Controlled Substance Act. Neither Biden nor Trump 119 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: is going to stop US federal prohibition is senseless and untenable. 120 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: Many states have already welcomed the future. It shouldn't matter 121 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: Democrat or Republican. This is just that this is also 122 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: a state's right issue. So if you're a Republican, you 123 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: should be for states right, less governmental interference. So why 124 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: aren't they like that on this issue? But they want 125 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: to interfere with states and try to ban, you know, abortions, 126 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: but they don't want to let states make their own 127 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: rules for cannabis. It's ridiculous. They should and the states 128 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: that are doing you know what, what is it? Is 129 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: it thirty thirty some odd states or whatever it is. 130 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: I mean, and we already know that across the country 131 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: it's like sixty maybe even up to seven percent people 132 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: who want medicinal And that tells us the people in charge, 133 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: the people who are voted in aren't listening to their constituents. 134 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: They're listening to their own idiotic beliefs and their refor madness, 135 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: and those are those are the people who have to 136 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: get voted out, don't you think absolutely? And if people 137 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: don't use their voice to vote people out, it's just 138 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: gonna the same old thing is gonna keep happening over 139 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: and over again in history, is gonna repeat itself. So 140 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: hopefully with what we have going on in this country 141 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: right now, people will get out there and as they voice, 142 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: as they made their voices heard through protest, they can 143 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: get out there and exercise that right to vote, which 144 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: is so important. And if everybody out there who voiced 145 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: their right to protest, and even those who couldn't get 146 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: out there, who were UH in solidarity with the protesters 147 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: and the and the reasons why we were protesting, UM, 148 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: I think we can make big, huge, vast changes because 149 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: in every state, every city, there are candidates who are 150 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: pro cannabis because not only is you know, we've been 151 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: fighting for that cannabis reform, but it goes hand in 152 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: hand with what's going on in the country and social 153 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: justice reform because the vast majority of people who get 154 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: busted for marijuana violations is people of color, and it's 155 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: it's senseless that that's able to continue. So it's kind 156 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: of hand in hand. And as we were doing a 157 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: tip today, we were discussing UH smells being probable cause 158 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: you currently have a lot of states even though it's legal, 159 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: it's still probable cause to search you, and it's gonna 160 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 1: be a pretext, a huge pretext, no matter what color 161 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: you are, although it does fall on the people of 162 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: color a lot worse as far as trying to the cops, 163 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: trying to get it something more than just the traffic ticket. 164 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: I smell something, That's all I got to say something, now, 165 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: I we I did read a case not that long 166 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: ago where a judge it was in a state where 167 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: it was probable cause. Smell was probable cause. But the 168 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: judge had heard that so many times that he just 169 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: didn't believe it anymore. Like that's all he heard was 170 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: I smelled weed. I smelled weed that to do uh 171 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: illegal search? And the judge through the case out because 172 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: he just didn't believe that every single cop that comes 173 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: into his courtroom the reason they get into that car 174 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: did the smell of weed, every single one. And you 175 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: gotta remember to the reason we tell you to shut 176 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: the funk up in those situations, because if you're in 177 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: a state, a medical state that has a past medical cannabis, 178 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: then your attorney can at least make the argument that 179 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: the smell alone wasn't illegal conduct because you had, you 180 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 1: have your medical card and you have it, maybe had 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: it in the trunk, and then when they do an 182 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: illegal search, you let them. You don't say anything. We 183 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: can at least make the argument. When you start consenting 184 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: to searches and talking, you cut your defense attorney off 185 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: at the knees and we can't make certain arguments. So 186 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: that smell. If the cops says it, shut the funk 187 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: up and let them do their search, what was that 188 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: comply with their demands to get out and complain Later 189 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: was a statement we heard from a police chief in 190 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: North Carolina, uh talking about a bunch of these viral 191 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: videos where people are getting ripped out of their cars 192 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: and and stuff like that. So because they're questioning the 193 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: officer on why did you pull me over? Which is 194 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: part of our thing, and just because they don't answer, 195 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you don't have to comply. Um, if you 196 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: want to stand up and grab your balls and and 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: and take a stand, I say more power to you 198 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: and take a beating. The cops should not be able 199 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: to do what they're doing. It's absolutely outrageous. But if 200 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: you want to have that safe encount owner, or I mean, 201 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: if you don't care and you're polite and the cop 202 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: does everything wrong, then you know what will be there 203 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: for you at the end of the day. But it 204 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: might end badly for you unfortunately. But we might need 205 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: people to stand up and do that. I mean, that 206 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: might be what's needed to get to to expose all 207 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: these dirty, bad cops um from overstepping their authority. Just 208 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: because they have the authority doesn't mean they you know, 209 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: they don't have all the authority they think they have. 210 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: You gotta check your state though, because some states I believe, 211 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: like Texas, if a cops says get out of the car, 212 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: you have to get out of the car, regardless of 213 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: why he pulled you over, regardless of what he thinks 214 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: you're a criminal or not. You have to comply with that. 215 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: So when you sign your driver's license in every state, 216 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: you're consenting to a bunch of stuff. So you gotta 217 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: make sure. You've gotta make sure if he says get 218 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: out of the car, that you get out of the car. 219 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: The fact that you don't think he has a valid reason, 220 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I agree with you fuck them, But you know, 221 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: you take your chances when dealing with law enforcement. If 222 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: you want to take that stand right. And really the 223 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: bottom line that we really always say, no matter what 224 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: is the time to argue and fight with the cop 225 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 1: is not at the traffic stop. You ain't gonna win. 226 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: You wait and you do it later. Let the cop 227 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: do what he's gonna do and and make his mistakes 228 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: that we can deal with later. That's right. This is 229 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: a big brother with Cannabis Talk one on one. We'll 230 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: be right back after this break.

But you know, I don't gotta deal with 234 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: Joe's bullshit that you know true. He he does rip 235 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: on you a lot, and he attacks me a lot, 236 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: and uh you know, we'll we'll we'll get him.

We'll see, we'll 239 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: see if he sees it. But now I know you've 240 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: all been missing it. When cannabis goes bad. I've been 241 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: uh tied up and gone for a couple of weeks. 242 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: But boy do I have some great Cannabis goes bad. 243 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: Still worries I mean everything from underwear to mailings too. 244 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: A cannabis mark, cannabis farmers market that got busted. We'll 245 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: start with that one right out of here in Fresno, California. 246 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: California authorities raid illegal cannabis farmers market. And we've been 247 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 1: warning about this that they happened all over to state 248 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: and we've been warning and they came out and the 249 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: Bureau of Cannabis Control and the city Police Department came 250 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: out from a call. They got a tip from a 251 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: good samaritan that something was going on and probably a competitor, 252 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 1: you know what, you're probably or or it could have 253 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: been somebody with a license somewhere close by. You know, 254 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: you never know. These these uh raids are happening more 255 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: and more on these what are called smoke sessions or 256 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: sessions as uh. We know all about those, and having 257 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: having been at plenty of legal sessions that we helped create, 258 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: and we tell people all the time, you're you're you're 259 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: in for it. And you've got Alex Traverso of the 260 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: b c C, the communications chief, who confirmed at least 261 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: seven different vendors were identified, and this raid happened just 262 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: the other day July In addition, they seized forty pounds 263 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: of cannabis flower, nearly nine pounds of cannabis concentrate, and 264 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: a little over two thousand dollars in cash. They must 265 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: not have been doing very good that day. If it's 266 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: only two thousand and six illegal firearms. They value everything 267 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: they confiscated at more than seven thousand dollars, which they 268 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: always pump up those those numbers. Anyway, neither the BCC 269 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: nor the Fresno County District Attorney's Office had immediate information 270 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: on whether there were any arrest made. Then that's another 271 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: interesting point because we're seeing a lot of raids happen, 272 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: but no arrest to take your money and your ship. 273 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: And that's it, basically, uh maybe a legal form of 274 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: robbery for for the cops because you're you're operating an 275 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: illegal business. You have no legs to stand on, and 276 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: when people come to us, they come to us from 277 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: these raids and they're operating illegal in the well. I 278 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: want to get my I wanted to have a warrant. 279 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: I want to get I want to get everything back. 280 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: How can I get it back? And you can't. You're 281 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: lucky that you didn't get hauled off into jail, and 282 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: at that point you're you're just it's cost of doing business. 283 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: You want to do illegal business, that's gonna be the 284 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: cost of it. And you know you're happy at the 285 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: end of the day that you don't get arrested. So 286 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: don't complain if you're gonna if you're going to do that. Now, 287 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: here's another one out of New York. The headline reads, 288 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: mother of two expecting toys shipment receives cannabis in the mail. 289 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: How about that? We have a New York woman who 290 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: reviews children's toys and clothing claims she received a package 291 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: of cannabis instead of a shipment of toys. Pamela Marks 292 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: was expecting toys from a California toy company and when 293 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: she got the box, it contained seven pounds of cannabis. 294 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: So she opened it up, thought it was gonna be toys, 295 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: started getting that smell. She knew something was up. And Marx, 296 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: who writes reviews for a variety of products on her 297 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: own website, says, we're a family friendly site, and we 298 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 1: always tell everyone because we don't want you to send 299 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: anything that's too funky. And so she receives the thousands 300 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: of shipments over the years, mostly clothes and toys. She 301 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: thought it was wrapped in some green foam, but when 302 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: she cut it and smelled it, she was in for 303 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: a big surprise. She knew it wasn't toys. What she 304 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: did next she called the cops. She called the cops 305 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: and then they arrested her. She didn't review it on 306 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: her site. She didn't review it. She called the cops. 307 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: The Columbia County Sheriff's Department that came over handed over 308 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: the drugs and uh, you know, she says she's opened 309 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: more than thirty packages over the last few years, and 310 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: uh called the toy company. She only keeps the drugs 311 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: she likes. Apparently, maybe we'll never know, but she called 312 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: the toy company and they haven't responded. Uh, it's called 313 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: Jack's Pacific, California based toy company who sent the shipment. 314 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 1: So you know that that's very and I wonder if 315 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: that's going to spark some kind of investigation into Jack's 316 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: Pacific Toy Company because maybe they're using that as sounds 317 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: like they're using it as a cover and they screwed 318 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: up and sent the wrong package to the wrong place. 319 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: So the moral of the story, watch out for toymakers. 320 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,719 Speaker 1: You don't know what they're making. All right, here we go. 321 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: I got another one out of Cotton County, Oklahoma. The 322 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: headline reads trash bags of cannabis found floating down cash 323 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: A Creek. That's right, twelve bags full of cannabis were 324 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: found found floating down cash A Creek. Cotton County Sheriff's 325 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: received a call and arrived to the creek, collected twelve 326 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: bags out of the water, weighing ten to fifteen pounds each. 327 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: Is cannabis waterproof or they just dry out? I think 328 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: you could get mold and stuff. Yeah, this doesn't do 329 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: well in the water. Like I'm wondering if if the 330 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: people who did this, like package it up and put 331 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: it in the river to send it down the river 332 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: called cash A Creek, maybe they thought they threw them 333 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: there and turned into and the Well here's here's the 334 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: most disturbing part for me is they recover all this cannabis, 335 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: they do their their their report and investigation, and then 336 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: they say the cannabis will be sent for destruction, Like 337 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: why why would they just destroy it? Give it to 338 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: give it to vets? But who knows what it was 339 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 1: made from? Test it and then give it. Why can't 340 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: they at least try? But hey, but as we've always said, 341 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: if it's just a flower, ain't however it's made, is 342 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: it gonna kill you? I don't know the stuff. I 343 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: don't know. You're right, but the pesticides these days and 344 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: they were different than when we were young, I don't know, 345 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: very very true. So you know, moral of that story 346 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: is just don't don't put your cannabis in the water 347 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: in a river, creek. A cash a creek in Oklahoma 348 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're gonna get cash now here we go 349 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: out of Florida, the headline reads, man tried to steal 350 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: a plane to fly cannabis to California. A DeBerry, Florida 351 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: man who tried to steal an airplane UH said he 352 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: needed said he needed the aircraft to transport marijuana to 353 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: California and meet his girlfriend. That's what he told the police, 354 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: so he obviously Robert Robert Stenstra twenty two tried to 355 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: take a two thousand eight Soccata TBM seven aircraft valued 356 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: at a million dollars. At one a m last week. 357 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: A tra air traffic control alerted police that a distress 358 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: signal was coming from the plane as they're arrest. Report 359 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: it said the owner of the aircraft informed the police 360 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: that he found every switch on the plane turned on, 361 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: including the starter switch. The throttle was in the up position, 362 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,719 Speaker 1: but the battery was dead. So this man, you know, 363 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: he was immediately arrested and charged with grand thest theft 364 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: of over a hundred thousand, possession of drug paraphernalia, trespassed 365 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: upon operational area of an airport, and the big one 366 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: that made the headline, possession of cannabis more than twenty grams. 367 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: More than twenty grams of cannabis. This guy tries to 368 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: steal an airplane and the headline is all about more 369 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 1: more grams of cannabis correct to bring to California to 370 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 1: give to his girlfriend. So I mean, these these headlines 371 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: you gotta read. You gotta read the stories and the 372 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: moral of this story. I think, you know, don't steal planes. 373 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: Trains are out of wheels. That doesn't end well usually 374 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: not no. And this guy, it didn't try to steal 375 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: the plane, and he didn't even know how to fly it. 376 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: I did gloss over when the cops. The first thing 377 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: he said to the cops when they found him in 378 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: the plane was Do you know how to fly this? 379 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: He asked one of the cops. And so, you know, 380 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: most people who let cannabis go bad are kind of 381 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: bad themselves. Out of Wilmington's, North Carolina, the headline reads, 382 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: three brothers arrested on multiple charges, including a pound of cannabis. 383 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: Let's remember that headline. A man wanted in connection to 384 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: a Wilmington's shooting had been taken into custody, according to police. 385 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: Let's see, he was arrested during a traffic stop conducted 386 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: by the Wilmington Police Department. During the stop, police stated 387 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: they smelled an overwhelming odor of cannabis and asked McNeil 388 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: where the smell was coming from. Do you think he 389 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: shut the funk up? Probably not. No, he didn't. It's 390 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,959 Speaker 1: in the trunk. You are going to search anyway, so 391 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: go get it. So that goes back to what I 392 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: what I just said, you never know. So he consents 393 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: to the search, and they search. They find a pound 394 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: of cannabis, a firearm, and his two brothers who were 395 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: in the back of the car, and they were also arrested. 396 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: He didn't shut the funk up, consented to that search, 397 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,120 Speaker 1: and again in states that are still that are medical 398 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: when you consent to a search, your your attorney can 399 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: never make the argument that there's medical and smell alone. 400 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 1: So we just want to reiterate that. Now here's a 401 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: breakdown of the arrest. And again that headline really pisces 402 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 1: me off. We got Courtney Antoine McNeil charged with possession, 403 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: possession with intent to manufacture, cell or distribute cannabis, felony, 404 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: carrying a concealed weapon, first degree attempted murder, and assault 405 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: with a deadly weapon intent to kill. I didn't see 406 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: any of that in the headlines about his attempted murder, 407 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: and all they cared about was a pound of cannabis 408 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: and he was So this guy was arrested in October 409 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: of twenty nineteen for shooting a fourteen year old, but 410 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: the victim didn't cooperate, so he was released. And then 411 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: I guess six months later he try, he shoots somebody else, 412 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: and this is how they catch him at a traffic stop. 413 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: They catch this attempted murderer at a traffic stop, and 414 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: and and they blame it all on the weed and 415 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 1: the yep, yep. And here the moral of this story. 416 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 1: Reporters care more about reporting cannabis crimes than serious violent felonies. 417 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: What is wrong with them? What do you think about that? 418 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: What I mean, it's it's almost like a big conspiracy 419 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 1: that because most people only read the headlines and they 420 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: all they're getting when they read all these headlines and 421 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm going through, Wow, cannabis is just horrible.

You think, think 423 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: about why, think about why journalists do that? And after 424 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: that will be right back from this break. Welcome back 425 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: to Cannabis Talk one on one.

We we've talked about a couple 438 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: of weeks ago how seven eleven is literally kicking people 439 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: out of leases that have entered into that got cannabis 440 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: licenses a different states for stores that are adjacent or 441 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: near a seven eleven store. That's seven eleven properties owned, 442 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: and they're actually not renewing leases. So people who have 443 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: put up lots of money to get into a legal 444 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: dispensary your storefront seven eleve them shutting them down and 445 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: not renewing their leases. Circle K gotta give it to 446 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: Circle K. There are a hundred fifty three thousand, hundred 447 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: fifty three thousand convenience stores in the US, and these 448 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: outlets sell the bulk of all county cigarettes. Circle K 449 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: is one of the largest convenience store chains owned by 450 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: this company called Alimentation. Couchhard has something or other. I'm 451 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: not sure early matters the name of this fucking uh 452 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: the name of the conglomerate that owns it, but it 453 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: just started into a strategic investment with a company called 454 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: Fire and Flower Inc. Fire and Flower Inc. Just announced 455 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: openings of the first two cannabis restales retail stores adjacent 456 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: to Circle K locations in the province of Alberta, Canada. 457 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,639 Speaker 1: So circle K is jumping on the bandwagon. And just 458 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: imagine if Circle K in the United States starts either 459 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: right next door because they usually own those properties, incorporating 460 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: cannabis into the Circle K stores, that would be great. 461 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: What do you think about that? How would that work? 462 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: Putting putting cannabis products in a isn't it right now? 463 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: Like in California, you can only have sell cannabis in 464 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: a cannabis license store correct, correct? It has to be 465 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 1: on a licensed premise that the state has issued for 466 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: legal cannabis. Potentially could be used for Kiosks right now, 467 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: cannabis chios, they'll have to be inside of a licensed premise. 468 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: But hopefully they can just license to Kiosk if it's compatible. 469 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: It's got age restriction, just got I d it's got 470 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: face recognition, so someone can't just put an older person's 471 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: I d uh. That that might work. Or they're just 472 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: gonna allow a store right next to the Circle K 473 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: because they own that property, that correct, And then they're 474 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: gonna have a consumption lounge so they can they can 475 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: get all the food they need from Circle getting the Munkey's. 476 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: That sounds like a winner, But that's just I mean, 477 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: that's a huge, huge play with over a hundred fifty 478 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: three thousand convenience stores across the country, for cannabis to 479 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: jump into that space. You know, Joe is always saying 480 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: how many billions of dollars we're being sold in cannabis, 481 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: But this would just exponentially I think, raised that number 482 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: of how much cannabis is sold because this is where 483 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 1: it comes in of what kind of what kind of cannabis. 484 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 1: Let's say it gets into the convenience stores, which I 485 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: think it will eventually. Uh, what's gonna be in there? Swag? 486 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: I can't imagine you're gonna see some high end stuff 487 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: in there. I mean, wait, when you go to a 488 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: convenience story, you don't see Belvedereah, you do. It's like 489 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: eighty three dollars. It's on the top shelf, weighing the 490 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: back with a lot of dust on it. If you're 491 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: gonna buy that one bottle. But I mean, that's that's 492 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 1: that's probably not the best of analogies because they have 493 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: a wide variety from you know, cheap, too expensive. But 494 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: as far as cannabis, goes to be able to mass 495 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: produce is the question. It's different than I went on 496 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: a on a tour yesterday of a couple of cannabis 497 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: grows and the difference in weed from one to another 498 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: is you know, from one grow to another can be 499 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 1: just you know, ridiculously different. Go ahead, peanut, I think, 500 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: uh those cents uh joints would actually be very good 501 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: because I mean, you go to seven eleven or trickle 502 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: Ks and you get those dollar twenty five brownies and 503 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: those are way better than the four dollar hostess. Yeah, 504 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He's right, You're absolutely right 505 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: because because some of the you know, you know, it 506 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily mean mass produced is worse or or or 507 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: cheaper is worse. You still have to find your brand. 508 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: There's brands that do all different levels that are good. 509 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: Um hive mids loads, that's right. I would go. I 510 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: would go take twenty bucks and buy a bunch of 511 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: nine nine cent joints just to just be able to 512 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: smoke them. Well, you just smoke, don't care, but there 513 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: are the ship on the carpet. You're gonna smoke. I 514 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: used to do that when you would you would spill 515 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: your your stash and then scrape it off the ground 516 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: and you're pulling out like hairs and stuff and packing 517 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: your bowls with resin. Those are the old days. That's wrong, 518 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: that's just wrong. That was before all of this, all 519 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: of what canvas talk went on on West Coast cure. 520 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: So now you don't scrape it now we now we 521 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: don't scrape. We're I guess we're we're cannabis snobs. To 522 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: some that was my son's fault. My son got me 523 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: to be a cannabis and a and a and a 524 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: dab snob. You don't know what your dab, and don't 525 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: dab it. You don't know what in what is in it, 526 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: especially with the color it looks. I've seen some nasty 527 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 1: ast slabs and you don't. You don't want to dab 528 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: off a nastiest looking slab. You can tell if it 529 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: looks nasty or not. You know, if they've taken all 530 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: the particles out of it, all the you know, it's 531 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: just it looks clear. It's clear. Does it doesn't have 532 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: to be clear, but it just doesn't have to be nasty. 533 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: I think everybody who dabs and has seen slabs knows 534 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: what I'm talking about But what about people who don't. 535 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: What's your advice to them? If it looks nasty at well, 536 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: there you have it.
