Yeah, I 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 1: mean so much things too, even with you Highway one California. 47 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: You guys are both in the Bay Area. Let's start 48 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: with you, Sweet Leave Joe. Though, as I just mentioned that, 49 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: how does one's heart and passion get into doing this 50 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: in n six when the taboo was as big as 51 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: it gets with cannabis and quote unquote marijuana, weed and 52 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: this and that. I mean, you had to be doing 53 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: nice things before to fift passed. So how did you 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: fall in line with all this? Well, you know, I 55 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: was a young activist. I was twenty years old participating 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: in a group called Food Not Bombs and Food Not Bombs. 57 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: They have a great structure. They take surplus from supermarkets. 58 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: They take you know, food, they cook it up, and 59 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: they give it away to homeless people. So the basic 60 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: premise is you take surplus from an industry and you 61 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: get it to those who need it most. So when 62 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: we had Proposition to fifteen pass, I said, why don't 63 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 1: we do this with medical cannabis, And we took surplus 64 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: from the cannabis industry and we got it to low income, 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: terminally ill patients. And that was back then. It changed 66 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: with sixty four. We're no longer plant touching. But you know, 67 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: that's that's some of the history, you know, through through 68 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: that process, you know back, let's list date it back 69 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: and pull it back a little bit, you know. Yeah, 70 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: because I was in I did the same we're doing 71 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: here in l A. It sounds like what you're doing 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: patients too. Yeah, So it's funny you say that because 73 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: when that process happened in nine, um, you know, I 74 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: got my tax certificate in Los Angeles to operate under 75 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: to to fifteen, and then um, you know, opened up 76 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: our you know, our stores, and we were doing the 77 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: not for profit doing business as a mutual benefit organization. 78 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: And we we went through those different you know, I guess, 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: uh uh funnels in order to try and operate, and 80 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: I found out that wasn't the right way to operate. 81 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: This is the right way to operate. And then find 82 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: out this isn't the right operation. So did you guys 83 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 1: go through any trials and tribulations to those times, because 84 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, there was raids for us, 85 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: there was shut downs, there was you're doing this illegal, 86 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: you're not doing it right. But yet it was in 87 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: the state guidelined and the city didn't know what the 88 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: fun was going on. I mean, talk about some of 89 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: that that stuff, the things that you had going on 90 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: back then. Oh yeah, well back then, I mean it 91 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: was crazy. You know, the federal government was going after 92 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: doctors for talking to their patients about medical cannabis. You know, 93 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: we were worried. You know, if we got caught that 94 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: we you were facing five to ten years federal time. 95 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: And so you know that's one of the reasons we 96 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: focused on lower income, terminally ill people. You know, the 97 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: need was there, but also that was very defendable in court. 98 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: And so another thing that we did too is we 99 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: have always been delivery and that was another part of 100 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: running tight game. The Feds did not know where to 101 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: find us. We didn't have an address online. Now everybody 102 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: who was doing storefronts, like, yeah, they were they were scared. 103 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, the Feds were coming down on people they 104 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: were doing raids, and so I I basically organized the 105 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: project in the safest way possible where it would be 106 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: the most sustainable for the longest amount of time. And 107 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: and you see, we are the oldest medical cannabis group 108 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: in the state, which I believe means in the country 109 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: now and this is our twenty five anniversary, you know, 110 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: And so that model it worked. Now now do you 111 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: guys have state licensing or are you still operating under 112 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: that same model? So no, we are no longer under 113 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the proposition to fifteen model. Um you know, the Sunset 114 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: sbfour twenty and so that took away the collective model, right. 115 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: So you know, we take care of a hundred patients, 116 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: but I can't pick up a hundred pounds now and 117 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: you know, bring it from Humboldt down to the Bay Area, 118 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: package it up and get it to the patients because 119 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 1: there is now there there isn't a nonprofit license category. 120 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: So you know, that's why we got Dave here. Dave 121 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: is handling distribution for us. So we have multiple partners 122 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: at every single level of the supply chain and everybody 123 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: is permitted and so you know, Dave can speak to this. 124 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: You know, he helps us consolidate donations and then we 125 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: get it out to a delivery service called Padre Move 126 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: in the Bay Area and they personally deliver it to 127 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: our patients. So now we're we're more like a patient organization. 128 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: We're like weed social workers and um, yeah, you like 129 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: that one. And you know what it's like. The last 130 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: two decades, not only haven't been given it to low 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: income but veterans, seniors, the whole nine. You guys are 132 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: given over two million dollars worth of compassionate cannabis. I 133 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: mean you're doing the lord's work. Yeah, actually that number 134 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: now is up to three point five million dollars worth 135 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: of cannabis. And then we're also you know, working with 136 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: Dave and we have a side project called Team Compassion. 137 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: It's basically all the same people, but you know it's 138 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: a different organization now. Sweetly, you know, we're trying to 139 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: be a five oh one C three. So we're just 140 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: working with patients. We're not working with cannabis so to speak. 141 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: We help patients access free medical cannabis. And then what 142 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: Team Compassion does is we handle that aspect, handles, you know, 143 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: supply chain logistics. We're getting a lot of interest in donations, 144 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: and so we're actually now sourcing donations for other compassion programs, 145 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: like you guys probably know Weed for Warriors, you know, 146 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: Sean Kiernan, loved that guy. He also you know Sean 147 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: Kiernan Weed for Warriors and Ryan Miller from Operation Evac. 148 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: Along with Sweet Leaf, we were the ones who pushed 149 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: through SP thirty four and got you know, the law 150 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: changed in California so that compassionate cannabis, you know, cannabis 151 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: given away to those who need it most is not 152 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: taxed anymore. And so it's great, you know, working with 153 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: Dave and being able to source these donations. Already this year, 154 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: I want to say we've gotten out almost one point 155 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,559 Speaker 1: five million dollars worth of cannabis to Sweet Leaf patients, 156 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,319 Speaker 1: but also to veterans through Operation Evac and Weed for Warriors. 157 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,719 Speaker 1: And then there's a lot of uh, some new programs 158 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: come up that are doing BIPOC compassion and so they're 159 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: getting compassion out to you know, African American community. We're 160 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: working on getting a program going in the Indigenous community, 161 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: and we're seeing something we're calling Compassion two point oh 162 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: is a consolidation at different aspects of the supply chain 163 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: where we are now able to more efficiently create more 164 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: access to Compassion. You know, we have donors that hit 165 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: us up and instead of them like som Roasts of 166 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: Farms is a great example, they have donated a hundred 167 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: and ninety pounds of retail ready flower. Yeah, that's incredible. 168 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: Definitely give those guys props. And so instead of them 169 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: having to find ten Compassion programs and do ten different 170 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 1: deliveries to all those people, we're one stop shop. They 171 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: hit up Team Compassion, we get it dropped at Highway 172 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: one distribution with Dave and then you know we have 173 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: other Compassion donations too. So when we're going to read 174 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: for Warriors in Long Beach, you know we're not just 175 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,479 Speaker 1: bringing him flower. We're bringing him chocolate from Coda Signature, 176 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, tinctures from Humble Harvest. You know, we're we're 177 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: consolidating that so each of these brands, they're not having 178 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: to do ten runs to ten different programs and when 179 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: you have four different donors, that's forty runs. Instead they 180 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: call us up, it's only one run to us, and 181 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: then we're doing those four donations altogether in one run. 182 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: So it's efficient. You know, we're using less gas, it's 183 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 1: costing less money. We're seeing a consolidation where it's becoming 184 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: more efficient and creating more access.

And 262 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: we jumped in early April did our first Compassion run 263 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: and it went beautifully. And uh, I've been with the 264 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: numb since. You know now, now the way you guys operate. 265 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: You know, has there been blowback from the bc C 266 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: or any other organization? Yeah, because I mean, you know, 267 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: it's a it's a different model, right, And it sounds 268 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: like you guys are now thunder Prop thirty four Blue No, no, no, 269 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: but but but there's a llegal there's a legal way 270 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: to do it now. Unfortunately, prior to that, it was 271 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: it was really a funked up situation. And then they 272 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 1: passed Prop thirty four, which gives an avenue for retailers 273 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: to be able to supply and donate without getting just 274 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: fucked under the old system prior to SP thirty four. So, 275 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: and you need a distributor in the loop as well, um, 276 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: in order to facilitate that, because everything's got to go 277 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: into track and trace and that traded from a licensed provider. 278 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: You're and you're the distributor, David, Yes, got you.

So we're 284 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, Weed for Warriors, Operation EVAC, and Sweet Leaf. 285 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: We all worked on SP thirty four together, and we 286 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: worked on it the year before when it was sp 287 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: A twenty nine, but it got vetoed by the governor. 288 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: We had to lobby for two years to make the 289 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: State of California recognize the nonprofit sector of our industry. 290 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: So right now we got a bulk donation of one 291 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: hundred pounds of flower. It's coming from Elkhorn Farms, really 292 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 1: great farm. They really want to support Passion. So we're 293 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: gonna be getting that to Highway one in Santa Cruz. 294 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: Operation EVAC is going to be going there. Ryan Miller, 295 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be helping do the packaging as well as 296 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: Brooke who works with sweet Leaf, and Weed for Warriors 297 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: and sweet Leaf are gonna split the costs for purchasing, 298 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: the packaging and the labeling, and so we're gonna create 299 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: this new Compassion brand. We're not sure what we're gonna 300 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: call it yet, maybe Champions of Compassion from the people 301 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: that brought you SB thirty four. So it's all of 302 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: us that worked on SP thirty four that made this happen, 303 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: and now we are going to be making our own 304 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: compassion flower and we're gonna split it three ways. A 305 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,360 Speaker 1: third of the hundred pound donation is going to Operation Evac, 306 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: a third is going to weed for Warriors, and a 307 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: third is going to sweet Leaf patients. And this is 308 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, we're creating this compassion ecosystem. And this is 309 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: compassion two point oh, compassion one point oh. We were 310 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: all doing our own thing. Now we're teaming up or 311 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: consolidating and we're creating more access. How hard is it 312 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: for you guys to make people understand that this is 313 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: compassion and this is not for you know, profit. You're 314 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: not sitting there making you know, tons of dough off 315 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: this when you're sitting there giving away so much cannabis, 316 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: you're giving away so much medicine to these sick patients 317 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: with aids, this or that or you know what you 318 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: name the problem. How hard is it to convince these 319 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: people to donate, let alone the laws that you have 320 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: to go through and jump through to make sure that 321 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: you're safe in doing it properly. Uh, the laws are 322 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: a pain in the ass, But getting people to um 323 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: to donate has been actually pretty easy. Um. So, when 324 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: you know someone, when someone decides to come on and 325 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 1: go ahead and donate. How do they go about that? 326 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: I mean do they just you know, send their credit 327 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: card information or is it send weed? Yeahounds, I mean, 328 00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 1: how how can somebody donate? Well, we definitely were king 329 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: for more monetary donations. We are currently fiscally sponsored, so 330 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: you know, when you do a donation, you can get 331 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: a tax right off. We really need help with that. 332 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: You know, there's links on the website and you know, 333 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 1: as far as the cannabis, usually people will hit me 334 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: up and then you know, we'll go back and forth 335 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: in some emails and then I'll pull Dave in and 336 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: we'll usually try to get it delivered to Dave in 337 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: Santa Cruz. But you know, if the donation is large enough, 338 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: we can potentially, you know, Dave can potentially go and 339 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: pick it up. And yeah, you just so you know 340 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: how it works, Joe, Joe, How how it works is 341 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, people can buy cannabis and then give it 342 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: to anybody they want. What was this case? You asked like, hey, Mark, 343 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: you want to put your phone on mute? Mark, you're 344 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: on the show there now, welcome, Welcome to the show. Yeah, 345 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: that's that was Martimer. Welcome Art. Yeah, it's just first 346 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: time trying to explain to Joe and all of our 347 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: listeners that we're talking about we're talking about legal, regulated 348 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: cannabis being provided and donated to everybody that we're talking about, veterans, 349 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: patients and the so forth. It's not that anybody can 350 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: do it. It's anybody can buy cannabis and if they 351 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: want to donate it, give it away. I mean under 352 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: Prop six e four, you can give up to an 353 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: ounce away whatever. That's that's one thing. But we're talking 354 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: about you. You I can't go buy some of the 355 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: score and then go to the store and say here, 356 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: give this away from me. It has to come from 357 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: a licensed cultivator through the entire system, tracked traced into 358 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: the system. So it's not just like you know, anybody 359 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: can do it. So what they're saying is for those 360 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: of us who aren't regulated cultivators, who can actually make 361 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: that move and give up a hundred pounds, we can 362 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: donate funds. Yeah, and I want to be specific on 363 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: that to donating funds to sweet Leaf. Sweet Leaf is 364 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: a patient organization. The funds go to organizing patients to 365 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: making sure that their paperwork is up to date. None 366 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: of that money purchases cannabis. We are not breaking any 367 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: laws here, sweet leaf is uh like we said earlier, 368 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: we're weed social workers. Yeah, it's a five O one 369 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 1: three right. Yeah, So it's completely you know, up and 370 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: up and and we love that too. And like I said, 371 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: I think it's something special that you guys are doing 372 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,680 Speaker 1: right now. And and honestly, you know, from us, it's 373 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: it's very difficult for a lot of people to to 374 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: be the social workers of this industry because most people 375 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: are here for a money grab and or they have 376 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,239 Speaker 1: no compassion. They don't even care about the patients that 377 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: have been out here and in this struggle. And I 378 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: you know, I go back to the two fifteen days 379 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: when you know, we had uh tons of HIV patients, 380 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: cancer patients, people with glaucoma and and different you know elements, 381 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: elements that we were dealing with, and we really cared 382 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: about them. And I tell everybody you have to remember 383 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: when you get in this industry that people from this 384 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: industry started from a very compassionate place, you know, And 385 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: it's very difficult for people to understand that because you know, 386 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of people think it's a 387 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 1: cash crap. Like you said, it's so well stated. I mean, 388 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: you look at these big companies and look at these 389 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: I'm buying a jet, I'm buying this orrom this company, 390 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: that company.

I just specifically designed this business model 481 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: to be the hardest for them to come after us, 482 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 1: and I designed it so if they did find us, 483 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: it would be the most defendable in court. And so 484 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 1: thank god, you know, operating for twenty five years, we 485 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: never had any problems illegal.

We 489 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: set people up in order to defend which in the 490 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: old days it was felony first, defend later. So doing 491 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: it the proper way, getting to have and everything in line. 492 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: So something did go down, It's like here, motherfucker's right. Yeah, 493 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: we would. When we would go up to humble and 494 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: like you know, pick up fifty pounds a hundred pounds, 495 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: we would have a binder of patient paperwork. Now that 496 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: binder included a member agreement, so that's what constituted under 497 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: s before twenty this collective agreement. We weren't acting as individuals. 498 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,959 Speaker 1: We were acting on behalf of these patients. So if 499 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: they messed with us, they you know, the cops are 500 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: like you know, and we never really had any problems, 501 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: but they would have looked at the binder. They're seeing 502 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: all these physicians. But Joe, where you're wrong is this 503 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: is where you're wrong. Everything you're saying is correct, except 504 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: they look at the binder and they go fuck you. 505 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,080 Speaker 1: Let the judge look at the binder or even know. 506 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: No matter how many you know, We've we had so 507 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: many back in the day. We tell them, if you 508 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: set up right, you carry your paperwork right, you do 509 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: it right. Then you're gonna be good, but you'll probably 510 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 1: be arrested and then we go in with all the 511 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: documents that you had on you at the time. They 512 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: ignored it with la la la, and then we get 513 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: you out. But I mean, you're right, that's how it 514 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: used to be done back in the good old days. 515 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: And I'm wondering with you, David, did anybody have any 516 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: problems when you're going up there and grabbing it?
