Craig, you've been gone so long. Since 44 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: you've been gone, We've had a lot of news. We've 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: covered some of it, but I know you want to 46 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: dive into a bunch of things. So what do you 47 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: got on the plate? Brother? Well, this is interesting. You 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: hear everybody heard that we we took the Senate, right 49 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: or we have the tiebreaker? Who's we? You got those 50 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: who know, those who have heard that, those who want 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: we the Democrats party? Okay, that Democratic because party kick 52 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: the House. That way. At least marijuana bills, cannabis bills 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: can at least be debated on the Senate floor because 54 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: the old party, Mitch McConnell wouldn't even let them get debated, 55 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 1: just get there and die on the Senate floor. So 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: now we have a fifty fifty time. But it's it's 57 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: misleading when it comes to legislation because most legislation needs 58 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,679 Speaker 1: a sixty vote majority. Two thirds for legislation such as cannabis, 59 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: would be for appointments for um confirmations of judges. That's 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: where comes in, and that's where if it's a fifty 61 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: fifty tie, the vice president comes in and breaks the tie, 62 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: and most likely in favor of the Democrats. What do 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: we say, though, Craig, and sorry to interruptive, that a 64 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: lot more Republicans might vote for it. So not only 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: will the Dems get the fifty off top, but I 66 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: think more Republicans are gonna leave there. I mean, the 67 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: vice president isn't gonna be needed to be called in 68 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: to break a tie or candidates they have to get 69 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: sixty votes. Does you say they'll get sixty? My gut 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: says they will. I hope they will. I think there's 71 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: enough Republicans that are in favor of it that they will. 72 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: My hope. The story well aft and the tidebreaker thing 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily ensure that cannabis is passed because we still 74 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: have conservative Republicans, I mean conservative Democrats out there who 75 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: may or may not vote in favor of it. But no, 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: we don't know, we don't. Cannabis is here. It's here 77 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,159 Speaker 1: to stay, guys. It's gonna go in legal again. The 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: one thing that worries me gets fast tracked now because 79 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. Yeah, absolutely, not even a fast track 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: because of Joe Biden. Not just Joe Biden. It's it's 81 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: the it's not Joe Biden at all. Joe Biden. He's 82 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: actually against it, against it. Joe Biden was the worst 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: candidate for cannabis by far, was all over and she's 84 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: like representing this and that she's she's about it. It's 85 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: up to the Senate, if the if the if the 86 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: House passed there and the Senate passes it, Joe Biden's 87 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna have no choice, I believe, but to but to 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 1: sign it, sign the bill. You could veto the bill, 89 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: and then the Senate would have to override it with 90 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: a two thirds majority to have a supermajority thereby override veto. 91 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: But I don't think he's gonna. You know, currently what's announced, 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: which is the more Act and the states that both 93 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: of them deal with cannabis and cannabis banking. I think, uh, 94 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: I think they have a good shot with only ten 95 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: Republicans needed, I think we might have a shot at 96 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: it this year. I think this year. Listen to this, guys, 97 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna happen this year. And and something 98 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: that I'm I'm kind of in the know about is 99 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: they're they're not giving out any more tobacco licenses, right, 100 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: so they stopped they stopped issuing tobacco licenses in California. So, 101 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why, but I'm guessing I 102 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: believe this. And and so you know, a lot of 103 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: people are wondering how how is the distribution of cannabis working. 104 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: And it's all going through a lot of like distribution 105 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: companies and and you know distros and they're small at this. 106 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: You know, they're not big companies. They're they're very small. 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: There's some pretty decent sized ones that understand the distribution 108 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: models a little better, but not like the big attribution 109 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: for like wonder Bread. You know, the cost goes ones. 110 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: These are a license places and there's only so many 111 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: license they're so so big, Which is this is still 112 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: a mom compared to when you think of distribution company. 113 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: Let's they can put it out there for people to 114 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: understand as well. Well Well, let's think about this. We go 115 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: federally legal, right and all states are now legal. Now 116 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 1: we have distribution in every single state. We're not talking 117 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: about mom and pop. No more Mom pop game what 118 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: happens to mom and pop all the time in the 119 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: United States, They get crushed Walmart moves in. Wait, wait, wait, 120 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: I need a point point of clarification. Just because it 121 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: goes federally legal, you gotta remember what that term really means. 122 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: All that means is it won't be a federal crime. 123 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: We still have states out there that it's illegal and 124 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if it's federally legal or not. But 125 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: let's just mean it just means that your charges won't 126 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: include a federal crime. But a state can. I think 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: it's still Wyomings, one of them state still have it 128 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: illegal even if it goes legal at federal level. With Iowa, Kansas, 129 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: and Nebraska, three have no type of green law. But Craig, 130 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: I think what I'm trying to allude to is this 131 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 1: is that, you know, when when the federal the reason 132 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: those states are still holding out is because of federal law. 133 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: In my opinion, right, so state gets I don't think so. 134 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: I think so. I think a lot of those states 135 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: want cannabis. There they just they you know, there's they 136 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: have it. There's an old mentality. No, no, there's an 137 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: old mentality there that won't allow it I'm saying the 138 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: people of the state. I'm not saying that the the 139 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: the uh you know, the powers that be, they're not 140 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: someone would have brought it in. It's not necessarily the 141 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: people of the state, and the majority of people of 142 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: those states probably still have have reformanaged mentality. So I mean, 143 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: they could state they could stay illegal but certain state, 144 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: but I would stay out of it. But what I'm 145 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: trying to say is that if that's even beside the point, 146 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: what for what I'm trying to say is, let's just 147 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: talk about California, Arizona, and Nevada right right now. In 148 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: order for us to move a container full of Canada 149 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: bis from California to Nevada where they need it desperately 150 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: because their pot is not that good, Okay, where Arizona 151 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: could use our supply chain because it's not that good. 152 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: We sit here and go, hm hmm, how do we 153 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: get it there? So licensing, we can't unless it's unless 154 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: it's illegal. But so you're right in the sense of 155 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: if it does no federally leagal or they they de 156 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: criminal or it goes legal to federal level, right then 157 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: you'll be able to have that interesting So so But 158 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: the question is it Mom and pop that the small 159 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: little distribution companies that we have, or is it Costco? 160 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: Because my opinion is is that Costco is gonna get 161 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: into this game. Walmart is gonna get into this game. 162 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: The smoke industry, the tobacco firearm is gonna get into 163 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: this game. And you're gonna have be Cannabis is gonna 164 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: be in every smoke shop, every liquor store, every seven eleven, 165 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: every Costco. Shouldn't it be? And and and I think 166 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: it's going to be And I think I think that 167 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: right there up that lane, which happens to be all 168 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 1: these guys that have these nice to full little dispensaries, 169 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: that's awesome, and they're gonna be the houses where you'll 170 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: get something, you'll be able to find that exclusive brand name, 171 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: blah blah blah. But I don't see it being like 172 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: a way to sustain our country and fulfill it. I 173 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: fulfill it the way they do. I think we're aways 174 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: off from from it being in seven elevens and gas station. 175 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: And you're saying, but I still see this as being 176 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: such an out economically for the country because as it's growing, 177 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: and even if it grows. That way, those big companies 178 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: are gonna have to buy a big employ A lot 179 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: of people have to either way, it's employees. So it's 180 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: value for us, more generation, more more, it's gonna be 181 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: more period, more taxes on in. So the problem is, 182 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: and this has been coming up lately here in California 183 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: and UH and Blue those a little bit about this 184 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: is it's how cities are starting to allow companies to 185 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 1: come in and start cannabis, but going my band to 186 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: allowing five per category five retail, five, manufacturing, five cultivation, 187 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: five district distributors. The problem is, and this really sucks, 188 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: is that they the rules are being drafted, are literally 189 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 1: being drafted to keep the little guy out, period. Because 190 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: what's happening is, so what's gonna happen is if things 191 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: continue the way they are, they're being a little guy 192 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: in the in the legal business. They're gonna stay in 193 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 1: the illicit business, no matter how many states legal, no 194 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: matter if it goes federal or not. What's happening is 195 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: cities are coming online and part of their application, which 196 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 1: is weighted and meaning there's twenty points per section, and 197 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: one section that gets the maximum twenty points. The question 198 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: is do you have a license of retail license already? 199 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: If you do, what's your license? And that's gonna get 200 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: you twenty points if you lose on that category because 201 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: you've got a mom and pop, you're in the illegal space. 202 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: You want to get into the legal space really bad. 203 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: You really do want to get into it, but you 204 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: have you don't have another one. You don't have five 205 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: men men, you don't have five cookoos, you don't have 206 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: five four jungle boys or whatever. You don't have all 207 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: these stores. You're not gonna get license in that city. 208 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: So it's really the way these regulations in the city 209 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: Ordinance are drafted. It is really unfair and it's keeping 210 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: the little guy out and it's gonna continue to fuel 211 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: the elicit. Mark.

Go ahead, Craig, well, 238 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: so as we were saying before the break, we need 239 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: to get the government to change the regulations, deregulate, make 240 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: it easier, make it cheaper to get the business. Then 241 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: we'll have a thriving, free economy, free market of cannabis 242 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: as opposed to select few. And it's gonna keep people 243 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: whose backs that this cannabis history was built. Well, let me, 244 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: I'm asking the same question I guess before break. I 245 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: mean when I when I dive into it, do you 246 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: agree with me that? And you say a long time 247 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: for me? I don't think it's a long time. I 248 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: think three years, So count it from today, three years 249 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: from eleven. Yes, I do think. I think maybe you know. 250 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why I disagree. What I disagree, I'll 251 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: give I'll give you the facts. Okay, these are facts. 252 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: So when did uh Prop sixty passed in two thousand 253 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: six right, the actual regulations in order to get a 254 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: licensed cannabis business came out in two thousand eighteen January. 255 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: It is now two thousand twenty one and out of 256 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy four cities, we still have left 257 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: than a third of those cities that allow cannabis. Period. 258 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: It's still banned period. So I think the progression is 259 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: the next four year, four or five years, and we 260 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: are starting to see it happen, especially here in California. 261 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: We're seeing more cities come online, but they're not it's 262 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: not a floodgate. But there are a few more starting 263 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: to come online, but they're coming online with these ridiculous 264 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 1: rules and regulations on how to get a license, which 265 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: is keeping the illicit market thriving and a little out. 266 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be five ten years before 267 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: you see it to the scale that you see HEMP 268 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: right now, that's in Circle K came or walmartin and eleven. 269 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 1: So you remember how years you remember how quickly that 270 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: CBD was in everybody's freaking store.

Not necessarily because if you legalize it, 276 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: just like you do. You know that, and there is 277 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: there's not the same set of state regulations.

You know, And let me 297 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: tell you why I've owned several companies that were illegal, 298 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: is illegal to operate scooters and gas and electric scooters 299 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: throughout the city of Los Angeles, and then it was 300 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: all illegal. Then it was like, oh, well, you could 301 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: do it only in this section. And then all of 302 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: a sudden it was boom, traging otto. All these people 303 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: blew me right out of the spot. Dude, I in 304 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: those containers, you know what I'm saying. And I thought 305 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: I was a big dog bringing in five and tang containers. 306 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: Cannabis game.

We're already getting it. We're 310 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: already getting at you guys. It's already been distributed. But 311 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: it's it's the black market. It's not the same because 312 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 1: you're so limited unless they overhaul the regulations completely, which 313 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: they may do, of course they wait. But I'm our 314 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: biggest difference Blue was I'm saying it's five to ten. 315 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: Yere's no way in three years, because right now we 316 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: still have under a third of the cities in the 317 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: state of California even allow it, you know, regulated, but 318 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: that's it's not but dollar, how you how long you cannabis? 319 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: How long has cannabis been legal in California or or 320 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 1: you know under the law, right, No, no, no, how 321 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: it's sixty four past and sixty four past and sixteen 322 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: yet right, let's regulations to actually get a license, right 323 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: didn't come out until eighteen.

I smoke joint instead of drinking. 475 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: It's not it's not as taboo anymore. And that's because 476 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 1: I think it's all over the United States, and I 477 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: think it is gonna go, you know, like Blue says, 478 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: but not in three years.
