Speaker 3: you the first to take this over with this company,

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: because I mean we've been waiting to hear when you know,

81
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: the Boston Beer Company, when Marlboro, when Kirk Glynn we

82
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: embraced it, We embrace it. We know it's happening. But

Speaker 3: now you're part of the big ships, you know what

84
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 3: I mean. And when you heard got a call from

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: this company, did they hire you off top to run

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: the cannabis industry as you came from Canopy or how

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: did this process go? Yeah?

88
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean basically yeah, I mean, uh, you know

89
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: Boston Beer Company. Uh, you know, my mom's from Boston. Originally,

90
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: I did go to Arizona State, which is a drinking school,

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 4: not with a football problem. That's kind of the summary

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: of Arizona State. Not actually not that much about not

93
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 4: that much, but popped school when I was there. But

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 4: you know, I started in the beer industry. Then I

95
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: moved to Canada and got a chance to work for

96
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: Canopy Growth Corporation to leave product innovation there and really

97
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: got the bug for for the cannabis industry and really

98
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: fell in love with the plant and joined the mission,

99
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: joined the cause, just like I'm sure you guys and

100
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 4: a lot of your guests do. Oh say a dog,

101
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 4: what's a dog's name?

102
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: Oh that's Teddy right there, Teddy the show Mold and

103
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: Mini Doodle. I just pulled out. Yeah.

104
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 4: And then in twenty twenty one, I met the leadership

105
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 4: of Boston year Day Berwick and Jim Cook and Robert Vale,

106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: and they were interested in getting into cannabis. But you know,

107
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 4: for US, as a publicly traded company, we can't really

108
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: touch the plant in America right now, So how do

109
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 4: we get our sea legs and establish our unique way

110
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 4: of doing cannabis in anticipation of American legalization? And for US,

111
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: I met Canada, so I was already living in Canada

112
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: at the time, and it really just worked out. So

113
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 4: we we set up a subsidiary based here in Canada

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 4: to prepare a product pipeline for one day launching in America.

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: And then we launched this product called Teapot, which is

116
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: a line of cannabis infused ice teas and it's it's

117
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: crushing it. It's the best selling cannabis tea in the country.

118
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: It's the best selling edible in the province of Quebec,

119
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 4: and we can't wait to launch it in our home

120
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 4: market of America. But for an hour, we're up here

121
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: in Canada just getting it right and dialing in, latching

122
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: new flavors, expanding new markets. It's been a lot of fun.

123
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: You know, this is going to be a you know,

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: a magic ball. Right, When when does this hit? When

125
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 2: do you believe this hits?

126
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: The legalization poll?

127
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean, are you looking at it like you believe?

128
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you have to be anticipating that it's

129
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: going to be coming soon. We know that the United

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: States market is Once you break that market, you know,

131
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: you break all markets. Right, So what what what are

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: your thoughts on in the company Peel, because that's such

133
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: a big company, you guys have to jump in the game.

134
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to be preparing for it.

135
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 4: Well, I think one I think you know, I was

136
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 4: living in Canada in twenty seventeen when they announced the

137
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: pending legalization of cannabis, and then there was this one

138
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 4: day it was illegal, and then the next day it

139
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 4: was legal, and there was this singular moment of legislation.

140
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: And I think what I'm coming to terms with, and

141
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 4: I think a lot of us are coming to terms

142
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: with this. That's not the way it's going to work

143
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 4: in America. There's not going to be some singular moment

144
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 4: of legalization, at least not that has that much impact. Instead,

145
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: it'll be this systematic dismantling of prohibition. You know, there's

146
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: a difference between like legalization and dismantling a prohibition, and

147
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 4: I think that's the path we're on here in America.

148
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: So call it rescheduling and then banking and then a

149
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: farm bill here. And I think that it's a question

150
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 4: of at what level of dismantling is the risk level

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: low enough where publicly traded companies like Boston Beer can

152
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 4: can access the market and not compromise our core business

153
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 4: that we've been doing for forty years with shareholders and

154
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: lots of loyal drinkers. So the other thing to keep

155
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: in mind, you know, we sell twisted tea, for example,

156
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 4: and twisted tea is the number ten best selling beer

157
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: in America. It's pretty crazy, so twisted tea, but that hand,

158
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: that took ten, but it took twenty years to get

159
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 4: that number. So we're a patient organization where brand builders,

160
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: we are craftsmen at a core, and we try and

161
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 4: focus on making a great drink, selling that through a

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 4: great brand and allowing it to find its own loyalty

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 4: and its own its own past. So I think for us,

164
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: just because we can doesn't mean we will. We're a

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: patient organization and we think we're onto something really special

166
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: with our teapot brand.

167
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: And Paul with the tea pots and the Boston Beer

168
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,119
Speaker 3: Company as they hire you to bring you on there.

169
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: It looks like you started there a couple of years back, right,

170
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, I'm not mistaken.

171
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: And twenty twenty one is when we set up this subsidiaro.

172
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 3: So that being said, was it already late name teapot

173
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 3: or did you come in and say, you know what,

174
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: let's call it, let's call it tea pot? Yeah? Where

175
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 3: where did this come from? When you came?

176
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 4: I like it.

177
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: I love it. I like tea pot. I mean it's

178
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: been there's a good twist for the words, play on

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: the words, and we're still like.

180
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 4: Just when you cool simple, just when you just when

181
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 4: you thought we'd run out of every weed.

182
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: Pun, Yeah, we found one more, one more, one more.

183
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 3: We figured it out. Here's one for you.

184
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 4: It is, you know, I think brilliant. The path of

185
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: creating Teapot first started with a great drink. We actually

186
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 4: made a great tasting cannabis infused ice tea first, and

187
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 4: then we was like what to call it? So we

188
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 4: actually the reason behind getting into tea not only do

189
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 4: we know how to make a great tasting tea and

190
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 4: twisted tea, and it's not easy to make that at scale.

191
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's still beverage, and aluminum can is not

192
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 4: easy technology. So Boston Beer already has a pretty good

193
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 4: methodology for making a great tasting, nice tea, so we

194
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 4: knew we had the right stuff. But then tea, you know,

195
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 4: Teapot is designed to be the most accessible, non intimidating

196
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: cannabis brand UH in the world. That's kind of our mantra.

197
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 4: You know, we're trying to to, you know, destigmatize the plant,

198
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: create an easy to understand, great tasting product. Doesn't smell

199
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 4: or taste like weed. But pot can be really confusing, right,

200
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 4: there's uppity weed, there's sleepy time weed, there's sure all

201
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: the stuff around rare canabinoids now, like, it can be

202
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 4: very confusing, particularly for a new consumer. And tea is

203
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: a really interesting parallel. Right, there's like daytime caffe neated teas, yeah,

204
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 4: and there's yeah. So for example, so it's teapot. Teapot

205
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: is about pairing the right tea with the right pot

206
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 4: for the right occasion. So we've got daytime black teas.

207
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: I got a lemon black tea taste great. But we

208
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 4: also have an evening iced tea blueberry camma meal. We're

209
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: launching a BlackBerry Royba soon. Evening iced teas. No caffeine

210
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 4: indic constrained that we infuse into it. And it's really

211
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 4: relaxing and winding down. So so we we like telling

212
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,239
Speaker 4: the story of cannabis in terms of usage, uppity, relaxing,

213
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 4: somewhere in the middle with tea. So that's you know,

214
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 4: it also a nice educational vehicle for us. So that

215
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 4: was the origin of the drink. And then, you know,

216
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: one hundred names later, then all of a sudden, bang,

217
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: someone said it in the meeting. We're like, that's it,

218
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: No more close the book. We'll call it teapot. On

219
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: the next sauce, they started with ank.

220
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, I was there, I remember.

221
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: I remember. We all said, that's cool.

222
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: Tea pot, like you said. And then it makes the

223
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: most sense because you know, there's there are different teas

224
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: out there, and and tea is one of the you know,

225
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: most widely drink, you know, for centric in the world

226
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: right in the world too, right.

227
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: The second most second most popular drink after water.

228
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, is it? I didn't I didn't the world. Yeah,

229
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: in the world. Yeah, in the world. I mean, you

230
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: don't get other countries. That's all they you know, drink.

231
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 4: Drink is tea, yeah yeah, and so I mean it

232
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 4: made some Sometimes sometimes when I'm deep in deep in

233
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: some teapots, I think about, like the spice trades of

234
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: old and what else was on those uh those carts

235
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,800

Speaker 3: Product lines off of that.

239
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,720

272
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 3: so to be ahead of the curve and be the

273
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: first company of your size and ability to jump into

274
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 3: this cannabis game. Where's the company? Nervous? Scared? And I

275
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: know you guys are only launching in Canada right now,

276
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: but what was that morale?

277
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 4: Like, well, you know, I can't speak for them morale

278
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 4: before I joined the company. I can think about how

279
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 4: I would project what the response would be, but I

280
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: will say, you know, having still been invited to the

281
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: company sales conferences in Boston every year and getting a

282
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: chance to meet all the employees, there's a pretty strong

283
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: culture fit. I think in terms of the cannabis industry

284
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 4: in Boston Beery, I think Boston Beer Company at its

285
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 4: core is about making high quality products and really trying

286
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: to lead the best tasting product in every class that

287
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 4: we participate in, whether that's tarties or ciders or seltzers

288
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 4: or beer. And so just this real excitement for what

289
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 4: we could do if we apply our philosophy to the

290
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 4: cannabis space. And listen, we're not naive, Like the reality

291
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: is the next generation of legal drinkers, you know, the

292
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: newest generation of legal drinkers has a very different relationship

293
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: with alcohol than I had than you had. And you know,

294
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: it's only good business to be in front of that curve.

295
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 4: So the idea of being an innovative beverage company and

296
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 4: anticipating the future needs of our drinkers, you know, it's

297
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: just also smart business. So I think there's like a

298
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: culture fit and I really I saw that first hand

299
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 4: after I joined the company, and it's just sound business

300
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 4: strategy to just be prepared for the next wave.

301
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: I have two thoughts.

302
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: I mean, one is I think that the actual consumer

303
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 2: of beer, truly, they also smoke or drink cannabis, you know,

304
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: So I think it's going to go hand in man.

305
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, you know, more people are choosing cannabis over

306
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: alcohol younger well so. And I think, to go to.

307
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: Paul's point, is the younger generation is not drinking as

308
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: much because they've seen our parents and us, you us

309
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: and yeah, us drinking and then now they're like, I'm.

310
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 3: Not gonna drink. I'd rather smoke, you know, or whatever.

311
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 2: So I think there's more people that are obviously adopting

312
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: the cannabis.

313
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 3: I think it's so smart in the Boston beer companies

314
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: see this curve coming because we've talked about it and

315
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 3: the stats and facts are out there for you guys

316
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: to take this leap is dope. I'm curious to Paul,

317
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: people around the office, is you're the head of the

318
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 3: cannabis and the whole company. When you go back to Boston,

319
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: have these corporate meetings or where you're that over there

320
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 3: in Canada, and if it's other people part of the

321
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: Boston beer companies, everybody look at you and give you

322
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: that hey I smoke to look and like, yeah, you're

323
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 3: the cannabis guy with the company. Is it a little

324
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 3: like are you the dealer now for a company?

325
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know, and you got you gotta embrace the

326
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: role too, you know, so I don't shy away from

327
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 4: being offered too. So you know, you have it's you know,

328
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 4: I think not just myself, I mean we have a

329
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: whole team of people that that that are behind Teapot,

330
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 4: and I think we take that responsibility really seriously, not

331
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: to bring it to a serious chill, but like there's

332
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 4: not a lot of companies of our stature that are

333
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: so explicitly participating in the cannabis space. And you know,

334
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: just like Spidery, like that comes with some responsibility that

335
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 4: you have to, you know, hould your grog. You have

336
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 4: to make sure that you like are a responsible stoner

337
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 4: and you can you know, be educating at all points.

338
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 4: You know, like there's so many questions, so many questions,

339
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: and it's up to us to be honest with the answers,

340
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: not bullshit, you know, make sure that we've got facts

341
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: behind how we educate our co workers. You know, one

342
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 4: of the cool things we did, I'm a parent, I

343
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 4: got two kids. We created a parent's Guide to Cannabis

344
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: for Boston, your parents so they can like how to

345
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: talk to their kids about weed at various levels of

346
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 4: their age. And just like just being a responsible company

347
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: and how we embrace this as just another new product

348
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 4: class we're getting into. You know, it's maybe not as

349
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 4: maybe it's a little bit more extreme than what we

350
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: got into cider, but it still requires education, that still

351
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 4: requires approaching it with an open mind and also just

352
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: respecting to the fact that yes, like culturally clearly we're

353
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 4: cool with pot, but like that's not everybody's weed, as

354
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 4: not for everybody, So NEI there's with a lot of deligence,

355
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 4: neither is the back you know, And and and there's alcohol.

356
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 4: There's alcohol.

357
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: You know, I only have I have a thought, you know,

358
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: how do we get our hands on that education guide.

359
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 2: Is that something that's already distributed and U yeah, I'm

360
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: so curious about that too. Yeah, I didn't see it,

361
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: and I'd love to get our hands on that.

362
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 4: Maybe, sure, cool man, I'll sense you. Yeah, I mean

363
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 4: it's kind of a it's a little bit it's not flashy.

364
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 4: It's like an HR text heavy guy, but it's cool.

365
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 4: It's how to talk to like a toddler when they

366
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 4: like it, what's that smell? And then how to talk

367
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,640
Speaker 4: to a teenager that's like, you know, maybe brain health

368
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 4: and the developing brain and you know, being a little

369
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: bit more fact driven in terms of why you should

370
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: you know, have stained some adulthood. So it tries to

371
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: be honest with the facts and be responsible with the message.

372
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 4: I'll send it to you after.

373
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: Please show it to us, and do you mind if

374
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 3: we share it on the show, like if we go

375
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 3: through it and just talk to each other.

376
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 4: But I'm sure, I'm sure we can share it. There's

377
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 4: nothing in there provocative.

378
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 3: Okay, perfect, Well, it's a boring HR I'm going to

379
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: make it, but you know what I mean. But that

380
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 3: being said, though, I just don't want to share your guys'

381
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 3: personal information that you guys can up with if you

382
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: don't want us to do, but I'd like to share

383
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 3: with our community to be like, dude, they're going to

384
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 3: major company came up with to talk to about their

385
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: hundred This is important.

386
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: And I even think we might, you know, give it

387
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: to our staff and maybe some of our graphic designs

388
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: to put some graphics and make put it up online

389
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: to make some of those flashy you know.

390
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to use that and make it your own.

391
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,880
Speaker 4: I think it's like a tool. It's it's hr Yeah.

392
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: I don't think they it could be a marketing tool.

393
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: I mean it's how you talk, sir.

394
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: It's like look what you know, you know, look what

395
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: uh you know, the teapot's doing boom, and then you

396
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: give out information with it and you kind of expose

397
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 2: it to make it nice like they should.

398
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 3: I think it's huge. Yeah, I think you guys should

399
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 3: do that social media wise, because what Blues described and

400
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: is something I would look at it and I would

401
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: personally go, oh what is that? What are they saying?

402
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: How should you talk to a toddler a fourteen year

403
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: old like you just said, and Paul I agree, like

404
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 3: there's everybody has different children at different ages, right, so

405
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 3: when you have those breakdowns in there, Dude, this is huge,

406
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 3: you know, whether you think it or not. In my opinion,

407
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to get a hold of this

408
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: and have our graphics design department go to town on it.

409
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 4: Well, what was funny? I mean, you guys wouldn't need

410
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 4: it because you know, I saw your office, I saw

411
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 4: your your compound. I should call it that you guys

412
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: have got going on there, so I don't think there's

413
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: a lot of newbies there. But also it sparked a conversation.

414
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 4: You know, we should have an adult skuyde de Cannabis, like,

415
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 4: what's elation? What suggestion? What's on set time? What's uhens

416
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 4: the new adult age?

417
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 3: Listen. I can't agree with you more, Paul. I'll tell

418
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 3: you that.

419
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: You know, my my mom, you know, for the first time,

420
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: got taught how to smoke from years ago from my pops.

421
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 2: But but I mean, like when she was reintroduced it

422
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: my cut, my nephew, who was you know, nineteen or

423
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 2: twenty at the time, was just like, here, here's an edible,

424
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: and you know, and gave her an edible that his

425
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: buddy made that said it was you know, ten or

426
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: twenty milligrams and you know, and she was a later

427
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 2: and they're like yeah, She's like, I don't feel nothing.

428
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: We'll have a glass of wine. You'll be fine then.

429
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: And then an hour and a half later she's just like, oh,

430
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: never do that again. Yeah, And and again that's the

431
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: it's it's because and I'm like, mom, why would you

432
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: do that? Like what did you call? Yeah, like you

433
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: took the nineteen year old the twenty year olds. You know,

434
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: well he said he knows that, you know, he's been

435
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 2: working with your dad, your brother. And I'm like, okay, whatever,

436
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: you know. And I think that it's it's important to

437
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: kind of find that people. I'm realizing that people don't

438
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: have the education, you know, just because we know it

439
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: so well. We've been involved in the cannabis industry for

440
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 2: so long. We know, and sometimes we overlook that it's

441
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: an overlooked thing. I mean, we well we.

442
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: Think everybody knows sometimes because we know it so think it.

443
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,239
Speaker 4: It's your podcast is Cannabis Talk one on one? Right,

444
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 4: and like how how long how long have you guys

445
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: been do this now?

446
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 3: Like fifteen years?

447
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,719
Speaker 4: Four years? Like one on one was you can PhD

448
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 4: level now right, you got it? What's one on one

449
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 4: look like back in the day, And it's a it's

450
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 4: a good reminder, right Like with teapot. Teapot is actually

451
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 4: like you guys will love Teapot is taste good. It's

452
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 4: a super crushable, non carbonated flavor.

453
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 1: Like how many.

454
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 4: But that's what I was gonna get into it. It's

455
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: five milligrams of THC. It's the low dose sessionable cannabis

456
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 4: beverage that's designed for you to be in complete control

457
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 4: of the And it's not one hundred milligrams. It's not

458
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: a macro dose. It's it's not going to like knock

459
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: anyone on their ass. But five milligrams of THH is

460
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 4: a very modest amount of cannabis. And it's a it's

461
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 4: good for education, it's good for troll couple on the beach,

462
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 4: it's a it's a perfect product for what we would

463
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 4: call in the drinks biz session ability, meaning you can

464
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 4: have a few and and still be good.

465
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

466
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know we have to make glassware for teapot.

467
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 4: On the glassware for Teapot, it's got a half mark

468
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 4: two on it. So like even our glassware is designed

469
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 4: as like an education.

470
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: Oh fantastic. You know, the the on the question how

471
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 3: fast is it hidden?

472
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: Is it like a nanotechnology or is it is it

473
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: a it'll hit you, it'll hit to within minutes or

474
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 2: as you drink it, or is it more of a

475
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 2: delayed reaction on that drink.

476
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean most beverage cannais beverages now use some

477
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: level of nano encapsulation to create like a water soluble

478
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 4: cannabis input. And I'm sure that the science nerd on

479
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 4: our podcast here are going to start debating the nuance

480
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 4: of language around water solubility. But yes, most cannabis drinks

481
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: are a faster onset than a traditional edible. I shy

482
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: away from quoting an onset time because frankly, it's different

483
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 4: for everybody. Everyone has their own metabolism and their own

484
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 4: biochemistry and what you wait, et cetera. But faster than

485
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 4: a traditional edible. For me, I start feeling it in

486
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 4: twenty minutes usually as my personal onset time. But that's

487
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 4: just me. But just like all edibles, if it's your

488
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: first time consuming weed, you know, if you start low,

489
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 4: go slow. You know. The nice thing about a cannabis

490
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 4: drink is it's really prolonged. You know, it's not two

491
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 4: bits of you wait, you know you're sipping on a

492
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 4: drink for fifteen to twenty minute, so it's a little

493
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: bit more of a ramp up too, Like how many

494
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 4: milligrams are you consuming in a single moment of time?

495
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: No, what about calories? How many calories? Were looking?

496
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 4: App Well, it's different. You know, we've got these different

497
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 4: teas for day and night. Daytime teas and night time teas.

498
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 4: Some have more sugar than others. Are left tea, which

499
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: is the closest to twisted tea that you might be

500
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: familiar with, is one hundred calories and five milligrams of TFC.

501
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 4: But are evening iced teas, which are designed to be

502
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 4: consumed at night, you know, less calories, less sugar, about

503
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: thirty night calories for those evening iced teas, because you

504
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 4: don't want to, like have just a super sugary drink

505
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 4: and then go right to bed. So we try and

506
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 4: be empathetic to like when you're consuming the product. Also,

507
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 4: so everything's under one hundred calories for the most part

508
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 4: of that. The evening iced teas are a.

509
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 3: Lot lower and can you heat them up? Paul?

510
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah. The cool thing is it's already decarmed.

511
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 4: So you can heat up a cannabis sized tea and

512
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 4: so you can have our blueberry Camma meal or a

513
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 4: BlackBerry rubus warm, and it's just a lovely nightcap.

514
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: Why do I want to try? I'm sitting here craving

515

Speaker 3: this stupid fucking drink that's in Canada right now. Issue

Speaker 3: So right, it's.

517
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 4: Hard to smuggle those because it's you can't cross totally.

00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: Gonna We're just gonna poort into it. You know, you're

Speaker 3: You got to have a talent man for your talented individual.

577
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 3: Your resume speaks for itself. What were you doing at

578
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 3: Canopy Growth and how did you like it there? Because

579
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 3: it's such a big company in this space.

580
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: You know that. Thank you for asking that question, because

581
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 4: I think I feel really privileged to have worked in

582
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: Campus Growth Corporation. And it was some very formative years

583
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: for me in the cannabis industry. I was the head

584
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,679
Speaker 4: of their product innovation team for about three years. Had

585
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 4: just a really engaged, passionate team of people focused on

586
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: everything from vapes to chocolates, to drinks, to pre roll joints,

587
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: celebrity partnerships, the whole gamut of kind of what big

588
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 4: wead thought it could become. Sure, and you know, the

589
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 4: journey that Canopy's on is very different now than when

590
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 4: I was there, But you did feel a tremendous sense

591
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 4: of responsibility that the fates of the industry was on

592
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: your shoulders. And when I left Canopy, you realize the

593
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: cannabis industry is a lot bigger than anyone company, a

594
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 4: lot bigger than anyone individual, and you can kind of

595
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: get that sense that your bubble is just you. So

596
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 4: it was a really important time for me in my

597
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 4: career and I learned so much. The people were the best,

598
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 4: you know. I think there's a lot of second guessing

599
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 4: about the investments made into that company and what exactly

600
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 4: there were, you know, companies that Constellation were investing behind,

601
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 4: and what I think they were really investing behind was

602
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: the people. And the people of Canopy Growth were and

603
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 4: those that I know that are still there are some

604
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 4: of the smartest, most well intentioned people in the cannabis

605
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 4: industry and it's just very difficult to kind of manage

606
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 4: the sense of responsibility with the reality of this really

607
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 4: being a shared industry and one that is, you know,

608
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 4: never going to go as we had planned. So no,

609
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 4: was it was a crazy time. I learned so much,

610
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: And yeah, it was every day felt like a like

611
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 4: a month. So it was it burns, It burns.

612
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: Cannabis, And yeah, we always call it, Yeah, it's it's

613
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: it's weird because it's like we we see so much happen,

614
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: I mean, and if we're going back in you know

615
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: ten years in this industry, right, I mean, the laws

616
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,480

Speaker 3: I and I call it.

622
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 2: You know a lot of times people get you know,

623
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: caught in the lights because they're chasing this light, they're

624
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: chasing that light there, and there's so many lights out

625
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: there that are shiny objects that are moving that it's like, damn,

626
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: you got to stay focused on your lane, you know,

627
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: speaking of your guys lanes at Teapot, do you plan

628
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: on doing raw tea as well, like where I could

629
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 2: dip it in and just have you know, boxes of

630
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: tea with some of these flavors as well, or is

631
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: it's just going to be a can that hits the

632
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: market and rolls up.

633
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 4: Well, first, the cool thing about Teapot is there's an

634
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: endless amount of tea and there's an endless amount of pot,

635
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: and we can find lots of ways to combine those two.

636
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: So I would never say never. We also are like

637
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 4: focused on what's our core competency as a company. You know,

638
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 4: we make ready to drink beverages better than anybody.

639
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: So I do.

640
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 4: Our level lane to you say, and like, what's our

641
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 4: lane or what's our value that we can bring? You know,

642
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 4: you said, like the cannabis industry is always changing, and

643
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 4: there's the logos that they're changing, or their mark packaging

644
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 4: lass or changing, or the advertising lass or changing. But

645
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 4: at its core, it's still a winning product, a great

646
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: tasting product, or a great high or a great piece

647
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 4: of flour. And we think we can make a great

648
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: taste to drink better than anybody. And you know, if

649
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 4: we can make a great tasting you know, tea bag

650
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 4: that does the same types of effects or is just

651
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 4: as competitive, then sure let's do it. But you know

652
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 4: our core, we're ready to drink beverage company.

653
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Paul, let me ask you how many tea

654
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 3: bags have you had at one setting?

655
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

656
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 3: Sorry, I pots. That's a different conversation.

657
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 4: That was question for conversation.

658
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: Bringing back to college years, not the tea bag, the

659
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: tea pots.

660
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: Sorry I was, I wasn't. I wasn't in the frats guy,

661
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 4: this guy he fully was.

662
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 5: You know me, I always try to slide something in

663
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 5: their dog to have some fun, especially when his three dudes.

664
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 5: I mean, don't get me started, but seriously, how many

665
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 5: drinks have you had to where you're like, okay, whoa,

666
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: I tried five or three?

667
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean, what was that limit to where either you

668
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: just stopped because you didn't want the calories you were

669
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 3: too high? What I mean, what was your limit so far?

670
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 3: You took down a six pack?

671
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 4: Oh, I can take that six pack teapot. That that's

672
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 4: not you. Yeah, but no, I would say probably that

673
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 4: six teapot is probably not where I'm like, all right,

674
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: that's too many, that's too many tea pots.

675
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: You know.

676
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 4: I think that product development in weed is really funny.

677
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: When you do product development in beer, you know, sip SIPs,

678
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 4: tips hip and you know you're good to go. But

679
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 4: when you do product development in cannabis actually is the

680
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 4: same for flower or gummies or drinks. But later on

681
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 4: in the session, the more intense the debates become because

682
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 4: everyone's slowly getting more high and so getting more paranoid

683
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 4: and slowly getting more internal with their thoughts. So product

684
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 4: development in cannabis, when you're.

685
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 3: You're saying that, just see your face, like oh you

686
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: really lived it went through that.

687
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we won't make strategic decisions after sampling because all

688
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: of a sudden like second guessing our strategies like no, no,

689
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 4: like this is we have to come back to.

690
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: This is just mark them, put all these ideas on

691
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 3: the wall, and tomorrow will decide back.

692
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 4: I have my ideas. I call them.

693
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 3: This is I'm still that part.

694
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 4: You got that for me?

695
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 3: Ideas? You got any great ideas for you? That's a

696
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 3: great idea?

697
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 4: Like two thirds of them don't make it past the

698
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 4: next day.

699
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 3: But idea, Oh that's wonderful. I think we're gonna start

700
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 3: using that on the show. So what's a great idea? Oh?

701
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 3: I love it? I mean I think we have that

702
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 3: as like a question like what's been your great idea?

703
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: Because just think about it. How many ideas have we

704
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 3: come up with high as a kite, you know what

705
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 3: I mean, and then never execute your idea? I mean

706
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 3: I used to think of it. I could have the idea,

707
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure, yeah, exactly. My point is I can come

708
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 3: up with a few things that I've thought of in

709
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 3: my time. Oh that is so yeah.

710
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,000

00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 3: But I'm like, and I heard it again, Oh, that's

773
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: so viral. It's got to be. I'm gonna put it

776
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 3: Over there, he's the head of CA. I think that's

777
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: just so fucking what a title. The head of cannabis

778
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 3: at the Boston Beer Company. I mean, you gotta be

779
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: the coolest cat from fucking Boston that grew up and

780
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: then with go see your parents and then to go

781
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 3: back to Arizona and they're like, what you're doing? What Paul?

782
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: You're with Cours Campy. Now you're with them. You're living

783
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 3: the life, Doc, You're a logo legend. I love it, Paul.

784
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 4: Question number one, My parents are stoners? Are they really

785
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 4: stoner advocates now in Arizona? So yeah, they're small, they're

786
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 4: the loudest advocates. You're going to meet me, So yeah,

787
00:37:59,520 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 4: I love it.

788
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 3: Did you have to convince other people to become advocates

789
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 3: or were they already that before you took the job there,

790
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: because you were at Canopy Growth before that, so.

791
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 4: You know, I think I think people were silent, like

792
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 4: my passionate about it and now realize that they can

793
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 4: be more vocal and be a little bit more championing

794
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 4: the cause. Because I do think those that really find

795
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 4: stability in this crazy industry to do so because it's

796
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 4: almost like a nonprofits like it's like an advocacy kind

797
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 4: of role when you're leading in cannabis. So No, I

798
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 4: think everyone that that works in weed has a little

799
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 4: bit of a little bit of advocacy in them.

800
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're preaching to everybody. Question number one, Paul,

801
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: five to five? How old are you the first time

802
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: you smoked cannabis? And where'd you get it from?

803
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? I was super old because I grew up in Arizona.

804
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 4: My my hometown, Mace, Arizona, the most conservative city in

805
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 4: America in the USA. And then I went to Arizona State,

806
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 4: which is a drinking school for the football problem. As

807
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 4: I said, so not until I moved to Canada. So

808
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: I was twenty seven. I moved up here and then

809
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 4: drinking my whole life, not a cannabis consumer. So late twenties,

810
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 4: I was at a campfire and I thought, you know,

811
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 4: what better place to try weed for the first time?

812
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 4: And my new friend's up here in Canada by a campfire.

813
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: And what happened? Though? Guys were just there, girls were there.

814
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: Paint the picture a little more for me. I'm so

815
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: curious what made you break in at that age at

816
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 3: a campfire? Like, you know, you're an older man now,

817
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 3: not older, but twenty seven, you're older than the twenty

818
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: five mark. And you're like, you know what, I'm going

819
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: to try this that's around everywhere. You know, I think

820
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: it's just cute girl.

821
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 4: The context was right that the No, it's a bunch

822
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 4: of dudes, just me and my buddies, just by the campfire.

823
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 4: So nice familiar setting, nice safe space. I was paranoid

824
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 4: about drug testing, which they don't really do here in Canada,

825
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 4: so I was convinced that that wasn't gonna be an issue.

826
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 4: And yeah, give first puff and then you know, down

827
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 4: the rabbit hole.

828
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 2: I went question number two of the High five, what

829
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 2: is your favorite way to use or smoke cannabis?

830
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 4: Well, drinking weed is definitely the righteous path for me.

831
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 4: You know, I think I'm a joint smoker historically, and

832
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 4: you know, I think lung health, I think smoker in

833
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: general is something we should all like slightly dial back. So,

834
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 4: you know, cannabis drinks beverage is the one that fits

835
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 4: the most with my lifestyle. And you know, I can

836
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 4: have a beverage doesn't stink up my house, doesn't disrupt

837
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: the party. So cannabis drinks is still the one, obviously

838
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: that I would be.

839
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: Preaching, although a drink and a smoke is just amazing,

840
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: you know.

841
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean.

842
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 3: It used to be for me, you know. I used

843
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 3: to give this guy a cigarette and truly, boy, he's

844
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,840
Speaker 3: got a truly a one hand and a cigarette in

845
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,479
Speaker 3: the other, and maybe a puppy. This and that question

846
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: number three, Paul, craziest place you ever used drink or

847
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 3: smoked cannabis? He's all at work.

848
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I try to think the right answer relative to

849
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: uh this being I'm on the clock here, you know.

850
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: This.

851
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 4: You know, I've had a chance to uh do some

852
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 4: weird celebrity interactions. And I remember I was in Montreal

853
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 4: for a conference and Dog was DJing, and I got

854
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 4: this biag party, and uh, I was if I'm backstage

855
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 4: with this type of kind of celebrity crew and I'm

856
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: like just super baked and then out of my mind.

857
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 4: And then someone passes me a joint and look up

858
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 4: and it was the lead singer of Arcade Fire who

859
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 4: lives in Montreal, and nice joint and I fumble it

860
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 4: and it falls to the ground and he just lets

861
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 4: me just walks away, and I was like, all right,

862
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 4: I guess I'm not crity, just walked away. I remember

863
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: that being a pretty isn't at the worst moment.

864
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,400
Speaker 2: You're like, no, it was just slow motion, and it's like,

865
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 2: you know, none of us are going to put that

866
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 2: in our mouth.

867
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,479
Speaker 3: Now, right Yeah?

868
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably.

869
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 3: Joint mine now just picked it up.

870
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 4: His definitely felt pretty cool right until that moment.

871
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: No longer, That's that's amazing, story man. Question number four
