Speaker 1: because I like what I read about you guys online.

30
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: We have Dave and Mike from Cosmos Edibles dot Com.

31
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: Now Dave is the founder and we've met Dave before

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,759
Speaker 1: in the past and he's done some stuff with us

33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: and we've seen his edibles around. But I went to

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: the website, Yeah, tried him and he's been a part

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: of one of our events that we've had, and Cosmos

36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: has been around us for a while and we love

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: his movement and everything he's doing. But I want to

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: read this to you guys because I felt like it

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: was great from the website what I read, so it

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: says moving to the Santa Cruz Mountains in seven to

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: build our family business, and I stopped dancing, which I

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: was doing part time to start the winery. Okay, maybe

43
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: I added that, but you know, I'll do a little

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: bit of that for you. Dave exactly so, he was

45
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: working in a winery, and he quickly found solace, uh,

46
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: solace in the Redwoods while working under the chefs at

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the winery during breaks from college in Humboldt. Go figure,

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: I realized my heart was in the culinary field. Now

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: I've been a chef over twenty five years now and

50
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: channeling my creative hard work with some of the largest

51
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: catering companies and high end restaurants in the Bay Area,

52
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: which I really want to get into that too, because

53
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that. You know, of course me being

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: from the Bay too. Let's drop some of these great

55
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: restaurants there and maybe give me some good recipes that

56
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: we can do at home. But going back to the website,

57
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,279
Speaker 1: it says doing grassroots roots work from prop to fifteen

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: under Ben Rice and Chris Wilder in I realized the

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: importance of taking a stand with the cannabis plants. However,

60
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: it was not until two thousand fifteen that I found

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: the therapeutic effects of cannabis. And it's funny if you

62
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: think about this, because he was in humbolts going to college,

63
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: but didn't realize it until many moons after that in

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: two thousand and fifteen, and when it transferred the focus

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: of my life, I quickly turned my passion for cooking,

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: chemistry and cannabis and the cosmos d s out rageous Edibles.

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: He created artisanal chocolate bars with the same care and

68
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: techniques as the restaurant desserts, which led them to win

70
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: and seventeen. Now working on the new summer menu with

00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: which I love this mixture toffee snicker doodle, rice, crispy

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: treats and if I just want one of those without

73
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,000

00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: did you just send toffee, snicker doodle, crispy and tree.

75
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,080

101
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: cooking in the past that you were like, damn, I

102
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: really gotta gotta get into the stave. It was, you know,

103
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: I was up you know, I was in the winery business,

104
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: and I was digging the potholes. No pun intended um

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: to borrow all the grape vines. And I'm looking at

106
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: these chefs up there, and I'm just like, I don't

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: want to be digging these holes all day. And so

108
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: I started learning from these chefs and the first thing

109
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: that caught my attention was they fed me this this

110
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: rabbit and um, I thought it was and I was young,

111
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: I was eighteen. I thought it was gray. It was

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: so delicious, and I'm like, what is that And the guy,

113
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: the chef was like, oh, it's it's it's rabbit balls.

114
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: It was. It was. It was kind of a joke.

115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a joke like that we weren't

116
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: supposed to beating. He was feeding the staff that, but

117
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: since I was bugging him in the kitchen, he was like,

118
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: here you go. But he made it so nice on

119
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: this plate. It just it was beautiful. It did taste,

120
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: it did still you rabbit balls, no, would you like

121
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: to try mine? You could gobble on these real quick,

122
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: a little baby balls. So yeah, you're digging ditches. You're

123
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: sitting there, they give you rabbit balls and you go,

124
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna be my own cook. Yeah.

125
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: I did well. I started. I was hitchecking at the time,

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: and some of the I think there were caterers out

127
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: there and they were gonna give me a ride home

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, well give me a ride home

129
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: and they put me in the kitchen and I got

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: straight to work, and um, I loved it. I was

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: like I started doing a lot of Italie in and

132
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: French food. Um. And then I got involved with a

133
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: Southern chef that did lots of Mississippi uh babies and

134
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: the barbecues and the smoke. Oh man, it was so

135
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: and that was that was it. It was like, okay,

136
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm on it, Like, let's just I want to look

137
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: for the rest of my life. What was you know,

138
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: and and why cannabis? You know, let's talk about why

139
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: why why did you change it from just cooking obviously

140
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: to to cannabis. Um the cannabis um. When I was

141
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: living in a tree and humble, um I was. I

142
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: got kicked out the dorms and so I had to

143
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't want to go crying home to

144
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: mom and dad. So I, you know, I built out

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: a house in the in the redwoods. And you're literally

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: living in a tree and had like a pistol outside

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: just out the window. Or how did you back up

148
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: a little bit home? We tell me this story too.

149
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: It was an old growth tree that had fallen and uh.

150
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: One of my favorite books was My Side of the

151
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Mountain um. And so I was this kid that ran

152
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: away from home and the dug out a tree, and

153
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: so I did that. I dug it out, burned it,

154
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: dug it burned it, and I put a tarp over it,

155
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: and ship lived out there. I showered at the dorms.

156
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: How long about six months? Damn? You really found yourself off.

157
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: So at night you're just going out to the world,

158
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: like a mile out. So it's safe to see you've

159
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: masturbated in the woods. It was really hard to date.

160
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: So how many bunnies come into my house? It's like

161
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: a mile out in the woods. How many bunnies did

162
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: you date? You know, I have this taste in my mouth.

163
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: Did you have did you have? Did you have electricity

164
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: at all? Or when it got dark? It was dark?

165
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: It was dark? Wow, dude, you know And I remember

166
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: he sharing this with us. I mean in such an

167
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: interesting story because I mean who does that? Literally? You know,

168
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: who does you really find? Like I said, you really

169
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: find yourself? Though. I ironically went on a leadership conference

170
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: one time and it was weird. It was in Wales,

171
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: in London. You know our food in London. We went

172
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: to Wales and they sent us out to the wilderness

173
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: and this leadership conference for twenty four hour find yourself.

174
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, a leadership conference. It wasn't

175
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: six months. That's why I said, you really find yourselny

176
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: four hours. I found myself quick enough. If I was

177
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,719
Speaker 1: out there six months, I find myself and might go

178
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: a little cool. Did you guys have a sleeping Uh no,

179
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: we have a tarp. They gave us a tarp of backpack,

180
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: some food and said go deep as far as you want,

181
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: here's your compass. Come back here tomorrow around this time.

182
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. So you know, you guys walked like

183
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: two blocks and just get it twisted. I didn't go

184
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: too far, but I did masturbate out there. I found

185
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: myself and made myself feel very warm, and it sort

186
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: of raining out there and everything. Yeah, exactly, just gonna

187
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: wipe my hands. It was a fun time. That's awesome.

188
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: So you're over there, you're find yourself. You're in humble

189
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: early on. You wouldn't think you found it in college,

190
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: right well, and I did. That was where when we

191
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: were talking about how I found the therapeutical value of

192
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: it later in life. At this point, I just wanted

193
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: to get high, and so you know, I was, I

194
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: was really into um canvas and hamp and I was.

195
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: I was really piste off that the whole legalization of

196
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: HEMP was a corporate racist takeover. And to me that

197
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: was like, okay, this is not cool. You know, like,

198
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, here's all these you know, big players out

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: there trying to turn happened to um, bioplastic fuel, um,

200
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: you know, paper, all sorts of stuff, and then right

201
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: then you know it's illegal. And so to me it

202
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: was like it was it was a calling, like why

203
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: why is this illegal? Why why are the helicopters flying

204
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: over my house all the time, because the camp was

205
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: big back in the nineties, you know, and so um

206
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: that was that kind of started my my mission. You know.

207
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: I I published my first zine back in college there

208
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: about hemp prohibition. Um, but I was always cooking. I

209
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: was always cooking. And then, you know, twenty years down

210
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: the road, after passing to fifteen with Ben Rice and

211
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: those guys, Um, I I realized, you know what I'm

212
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna do edibles. It's like it's been long enough. I've

213
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: learned enough from culinary. I've learned a enough from you know,

214
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: my experience with it. Now it's time to change the

215
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: industry and put some good food out there in the

216
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: edible world. And that's that's what. Really What is your

217
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: guys face product that you guys produce at Cosmo? Oh?

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: I love the extra toasted coconut bar by far, that's

219
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: my number one. Really did you guys bring this one? Why?

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Why is that my elaborate on that one? All right?

221
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: So you know, I've always been a big fan of

222
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 1: the milk chocolate, got the shredded coconut on top that

223
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: have little butterscotch chips on top, like a little things

224
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: of like a little bit this one, by the way,

225
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: that I have on my screen that right there is

226
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: the more is my friend. You see, I'm on your

227
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: website clicking on pictures and I have one right here

228
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: that I keep staring at. My mouth is drooling over,

229
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: like what is this one? Right? Right? I mean it's

230
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: funny because you know, you think of different edibles, and

231
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: you know there's so many out there, right, There's so

232
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: many things that people can grab. But I feel like

233
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: your guys just look like a dessert that I'm gonna

234
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: see at, like the Ruth Crisp, you know, the it's

235
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: a high end look and feel. It's not just some

236
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: piece of chocolate or a little whatever. It has like

237
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 1: like this picture here on your website. And for those

238
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: who don't know to go check them out Cosmos Edibles

239
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: dot Com. Go see it because the pictures they actually

240
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: matched the product too, which isn't like, oh, we just

241
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: made that one for the pictures, right. How hard is

242
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: it to keep that consistency? Um, it's hard. I'm not

243
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: gonna lie it. We're we're not corporate owned, so we

244
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: do these all by hand. So I have a whole

245
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: crew in there instead of having machines for it, and

246
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: put exactly the right number. I have people in there,

247
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: um and we're doing it, and so you're gonna get

248
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: these imperfections. But to me, it's perfect. That's how I wanted.

249
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's it's it's funny when you say that,

250
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: because when it's art right, and food is art right,

251
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: and so and some of it's not, some of it's

252
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: more cookie cutter. But you know, when you're producing something

253
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: and it's art and it's and I often tell my

254
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: wife because she produces like these cups and I gonna

255
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: look that little imperfection is dope, but it looks amazing, Like,

256
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: don't don't think that it's too you know, She's like,

257
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: it's not perfect. I'm like, of course it's not perfect,

258
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But but it's it's about that.

259
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: So but she is, but you are, baby, So so

260
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: let me let me ask this is is it? How?

261
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: How is the licensing process for this? I mean how

262
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: how what kind of hurdle did you guys have to

263
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: look for that? Let's break real quick and come back.

264
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,599
Speaker 1: It's cosmos edibles. We'll hear all about the licensing is

265
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: cannabis talk one on one. Welcome back to Cannabis talk

266
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: one on one. We're here with Cosmo Edibles Big David Mike,

267
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: and you know what, Dave Mike, we were talking about

268
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: licensing and actually figuring out how difficult was that process

269
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: for you, and tell us kind of about your walk

270
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: us through that process, because so many people out there

271
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: want to get into the game, but they don't realize,

272
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: oh my god, I gotta get a license and they

273
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: hear about it and then it's gonna cost me two million,

274
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: ten million. Walk us through the whole process. Well, I

275
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: don't think we have enough time, but the cliff note version,

276
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: You're right. I know it's been a a journey, as

277
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: I've talked to you before about it, but and then

278
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: it's all gonna change by the time I finished. That's

279
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: the worst part about the licensing and everything for you guys.

280
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: That's just like it always changes. It's you know, it's

281
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: it's been challenging. I mean, one of the things that

282
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: being a chef for UH chef for thirty years, Um,

283
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: this kind of culinary is a completely different ball game.

284
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: And then adding into the licensing, it's it's just it's crazy.

285
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: So the first thing you have to do what I did,

286
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: and why I got ahead is as soon as I

287
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: wanted to do this, I went down to the courthouse

288
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: and I filed my paperwork. And that's what you gotta do.

289
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: And that was two thousand, two thousand fifteen. I came

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: up with the idea and I started when you came

291
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: up with the whole therapeutic and then two downs sixteen

292
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: I filed the paperwork. Um and you know, you basically

293
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: have to go down off the we of to file.

294
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: You have to get it, find your county and find

295
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: your city and make sure that the rules and regulations

296
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: line up and that you can have a license and

297
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: what kind of like you did in Santa Cruz corrects.

298
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: I knew I was lucky. Santa Cruz was one of

299
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: the first counties that actually opened it up. The counties

300
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: in California were not open to this, so um, so

301
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: that was one of my first lucky moves. And then

302
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: you had to start paying taxes. Well, most people, if

303
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: they weren't making money, weren't paying taxes. You still have

304
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: to pay you if you weren't making money, so you

305
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: just had the file. Excuse me, So I just had

306
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: to keep filing. So I did all the paperwork I

307
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: did all that, and then I had the state come

308
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: out and verify or kitchen. Um, we had to jump

309
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: through a thousand new loopholes because our kitchen was it

310
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: was like a thousand feet away from uh An Elementary School.

311
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: So that was fine. It's a thousand feet a minimum

312
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: a thousand feet those it depends where you're at some states,

313
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: some cities. States are all different. Some are a thousands

314
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: some or five some or six. But the problem with

315
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: ours was the parcels were three feet apart. The front

316
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: doors were like feet and so yeah, so that was

317
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: another armor leg And as a lawyer, that's when you

318
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: learned about as the crow flies right, That's what I argued,

319
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: you know, and I was there. That's the one thing.

320
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: I'm not your typical stoner. I'm a chef, and I

321
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: go in and I did the paperwork. I I knew

322
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: what it had to get done, and so I got

323
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, people to start, you know, writing the numbers

324
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: down and getting the regulators inside the kitchen, inside the

325
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: kitchen and making sure that all the stuff was diagrammed out.

326
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Then I had to do all my s O p s.

327
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: You have to do all your business plan, all your

328
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: sps everything lined up, and then they can okay your license.

329
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: You can't do it after the fact, so you have

330
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: to be running basically a business and then then they're

331
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna okay you're licensing and the business that you were

332
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: running was the edible or was it in business? Yeah?

333
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, and I couldn't even run it. It's so

334
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: confusing because you have to be generating money and have

335
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: are not generating money. But you have to have a

336
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: business set in stone. You have to have your place

337
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: picked out, you have to have your distribution channel, you

338
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: have to know how it's all gonna work out before

339
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: they will okay your license. So that's so much leg

340
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: work to figure out. You know, before you even get

341
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: a lesson, you're spending so much money, so much time

342
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: on something that you don't even know if it's gonna

343
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: happen for sure exactly now. And that's where the hard

344
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: part is because you don't people don't realize that their

345
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: margins are zero by the time they actually get there

346
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: because they're paying so much money and you know all

347
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: the different taxes, you know, taxes for the city, the county,

348
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: the state, you know, central sometimes it's and and unfortunately

349
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: this has been you know what pretty much excess a

350
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: lot of people out is the time process that that takes.

351
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: You never know how long it's gonna take. I mean,

352
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna, oh, it should be six months,

353
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: and you could put a you know, throw a dart

354
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: and hope that you're gonna hit it. But you never

355
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: hit it. You know. It's it's it takes sometimes years

356
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: for people to get their licensing. It's not a it's

357
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: not a walk in the park. This isn't something that

358
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: you can just be like, oh, I applied, I'm gonna

359
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: get it no matter what. And it's like but and

360
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: it's sad because right now, if I want to go

361
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: open up a tobacco license, you know, I can go

362
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: fill out of application, get approved, and then boom, I'm

363
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: I'm done in fifteen twenty days, you know, and there's

364
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: tobacco shops all over every corner of three on certain blocks.

365
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Alcohol same thing. You know, I got a guy trying

366
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: to sell me an alcohol license. Right now. It's just

367
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: a transferable license. There you go, boom. You can fill

368
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: out the process if you want to go through. It's

369
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: pretty simple. But you talk about cannabis and and quite frankly,

370
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: I would, I would, you know, put them in the

371
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: same ring. It's like, if you're drinking, you know, and

372
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: you're giving the responsibility of sho alcohol, you should go

373
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: through a huge process that if if we're going through

374
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: it in the cannabis industry, so it's kind of screwed up, man,

375
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: it's gotta be a little nerve wracking. Then as as

376
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: you were going through it, I mean, how many hurdles

377
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: did you go through that you were like, I'm sucking

378
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: hanging up the cleats, I'm not even gonna do this anymore.

379
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: This is bullshit, right, Like some of those had to

380
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: just be devastating there. There was a lot of them,

381
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: and I just, you know, as my as my team knows,

382
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: I don't like to give up, and I'm really stubborn

383
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: in that field. Um, but they was crushing, I mean mentally, um.

384
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: And then you know, going through this, um well, real

385
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: quick little side stories that I had, things were not

386
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: going very well at all. The banks were not opening

387
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: up for us, and so my wife screaming at me,

388
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: you need to get a job, and I'm like, all right,

389
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: So I go back and I get a job and

390
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: I'm working great COVID happens. They'd let me fire forty

391
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: five of the cooks and then they let me go,

392
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: and and so is this time? I was like, here

393
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: it is? This is it? Like I can either just

394
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: fun get I'm out, or you know. And so I

395
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: went all the way in. I had employees that lost

396
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: their jobs. I brought him in. I went and talked

397
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: to people, and my my sales went up. I just

398
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: I just pushed it and I went. I just went

399
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: balls to the wall. So COVID was a blessing for

400
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: your company in an extent that we were essential and

401
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: we were allowed to keep working. And it was, and

402
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: it was a blessing because I lost my job. Like

403
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: it was like I forced you into right right right.

404
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: But the banks, I mean the banks, it's crazy. I

405
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: mean you have to I mean, do you have to

406
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: have a bank account. You have to pay a thousand

407
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: dollars a month on top of paying a zero point

408
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: one percent of any money you bring in, you have

409
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: to have um armored cars take your money. I'm like,

410
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even have money coming in out

411
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: have an armored car. So and not only that, you

412
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: can't really process anything, and you gotta sell it. You

413
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: gotta send yours now because you're an edible company, you

414
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: gotta send it to a distribution company. Distribution companies right

415
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: and you a check? What are right there checking? Or

416
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: how do I get a bank account that says it's

417
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: really a cannabis edible company? So I gotta create now

418
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: another company quote unquote market For those who don't know

419
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: the game, it's like the things and loopholes that folks

420
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: have to go through to do these things. It's just

421
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: ridiculous that the states the country is doing that to

422
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: folks when charging everybody arm, leg and lung for every taxes,

423
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: but really hard to get a bank account, Like okay,

424
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 1: I'll pay it. Let's make it happen. Let me get

425
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: account so I can get this money generated. And you

426
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,280

Speaker 1: is it is it seemed like it's curved back or

443
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: did you see an influx of of buying. I did

444
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: see an influx of buying. Um. When the pandemic first

445
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: happened and all this money was coming in from the government,

446
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, there was people were didn't really know what

447
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: was going on and they were just getting money. And

448
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: so yeah, sales went sky or pocketing. Now they're still money,

449
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: but it's like people are a little bit nervous or

450
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: holding back. One of the things we did, and this

451
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: is what I've been was talking with with Mike about

452
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: is we decided to start white labeling. It was like,

453
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: well ourselves, aren't you know, making us rich by any means.

454
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: So what do we have? We have talent, we have

455
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: a kitchen, and we have a license, and so for

456
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: people who have a brand but don't have a license,

457
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: we can white label and create your brands form. So

458
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: that's been kind of creating a little bit of revenue

459
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: streams to help. It adds, it adds to you know.

460
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: I think you and I talked about that when we

461
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 1: first you know, did the show and then I at

462
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: the time, I don't think you're doing it. You know,

463
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: You're just like, no, I'm not doing that. I'm like, oh,

464
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: that's cool, you know. But it was something that I

465
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: brought up because I'm always looking, you know, and thinking that,

466
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,959
Speaker 1: you know, it's the way to do it. If you've

467
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: got your license, you got a kitchen, you should be

468
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: doing it. It's multiple revenue streams. I mean, you ideally,

469
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to tap in everywhere as

470
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: a business, and anytime you see holes, you know, you

471
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: got to fill them and be able to pull in

472
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: more money. So we're coming out the Grand Bar. I

473
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: think it's great. I'm down with that all day every day. Well,

474
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: there it is, guys. When we come back, it's Cosmo

475
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: High five. Time for the high five with them, and

476
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: it's going down. It's kind of a shark going one.

477
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one. We want

478
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: to thank everybody out there for listening to the show.

479
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: We also want to thank everybody who helps us put

00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: together the show. We really appreciate each and every one

481
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: of you, you dirty bastards. But now it's time for

482
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: the high five. Before we go to the high five, though,

483
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, as we have Dave and Mike from

484
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: Cosmos Edibles dot Com, you're touching on the white labeling.

485
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: What are some of these white label products because and

486
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: even for those that are listening out there, like somebody

487
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: who doesn't know this exactly. One of the big white

488
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: label things that I love when I love when I

489
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: see this is like when you go to Costco and

490
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: you buy certain products from there, like for a that's

491
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: if you're buying the vodka from Costco and it's the

492
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: Kirkland brand. It's actually a very big popular vodka brand

493
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: that's out there, and I believe it's kettle one. If

494
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken on that right, I think Kirkland does

495
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: kettle one. That's what I said Kirkland is because they

496
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 1: also do Great Goose Great Groosey. Yeah, so you know

497
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: it's it's so smart. But for your guys company, are

498
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: they using exactly the same products you guys have and

499
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 1: just calling it something else. No, it's it's basically like

500
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: dispensaries will come to me and say, hey, I want

501
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: to do a brownie okay, and so like I'm like, okay,

502
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: well I'll create you a Brownies dr Green Thumbs brownie. Yeah.

503
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: Well I'll do a Doctor Breen brownie. All I can do.

504
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: You know, I can do your Grande bar. I can

505
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: do rabbit balls, you know whatever, you guys. I like

506
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: rabbit balls. I love how you brought rabbit balls back

507
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: so circle. And you know what it made me happy

508
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: is because now I want to try these damn rabbit balls.

509
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: Where they saw tait or what were they flavored with?

510
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: I'm wondering now now that you brought them back up.

511
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: The fat and me just came out as we're going

512
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: out to dinner and night have a years. I can't

513
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: wait to be there. But What's what was on these

514
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: rabbit balls? I think they had like a marm berry

515
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: glaze on it, um with some pork and uh, they

516
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: were just like pants. Heard, Yeah, did you eat him again?

517
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: Well no, not from rabbit balls to my balls. It's

00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: to the back room. That sparked it up. Amen. Question

530
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: number two of the high five with Cosmo Edibles, what

531
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: is your favorite way to use cannabis? M h um,

532
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: you know it's it's this that the kind of edible

533
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,719
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm torn between my pesto and my

534
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: hot sauce. But I guess I just really love infusing

535
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 1: the oil so that I can make such cool things.

536
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go with pesto nice. Why am I

537
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: so hungry right now? So you know I like doing

538
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: the edibles as well. Basically, just you make any meal

539
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: you want infused if you like. Like we just did

540
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: a trip up the Big Ribs with me and my

541
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: friends for their birthday. So we did ribs one day.

542
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: Just infuse everything with canvas oil. Man doing mashed potatoes,

543
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: the mac and cheese, the ribs themselves. As you just

544
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: said that you're just getting hungry, I could get hungry.

545
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: But when you said you went to big Bear, I

546
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: don't know why you became the instant mascot because you

547
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: look like a big bear. I like, is that a

548
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: big bear right there? The number three Joe shaved today.

549
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: Now he's not big Bear. I just cleaned my look

550
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: up and now I'm attacking the big guy over there.

551
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm no longer hairy face. Question number three, Craziest place

552
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: you ever used cannabis? Um? I drilled a ball out

553
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: of my mom's couch and um so that I could

554
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: literally smoke a bowl and then pass out on the couch.

555
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: So I drilled it into the side pocket that I

556
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: realized it with leaks, so I filled Yeah, but it worked.

557
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: That was that was fun. That Did she catch it?

558
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: Did she see it? I mean figure it out? She

559
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: saw it started leaking, so I put a pot underneath

560
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: to catch the water, and passed out and she walked

561
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: in and she's like what the And I'm like, oh,

562
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: it's the Native Americans. They wanted to clean their tobacco,

563
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: so it's a tobacco pipe. Yeah, and she bought it.

564
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: No way, she bought it. A matter of fact, as

565
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned the parents, So how do they react, Dave?

566
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: Do you do in a cannabis you know company? Now? Right? That?

567
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,160
Speaker 1: They cool with it all? My mom is my biggest fan,

568
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: even though she was told against it at first. What

569
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: are you doing? You're getting into this devil stuff? Was

570
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: that type of attitude? Well, it was more because she

571
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: didn't find out for me. She found out from my

572
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: baby mama. Oh and you're doing real bad work there.

573
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Because now baby Mama probably wasn't for it yet. She

574
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: was like, oh, oh, that's so great that Dave's doing this.

575
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: And my Mom's like, wait, what is he doing. Oh

576
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 1: so she did the whole propaganda way, like making you

577
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: look bad, but he's doing great. I can't believe he's

578
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: making cannabis brownies and he's a drug dealer. But she

579
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: takes the money every month. Oh you gotta love that.

580
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: What about you? Mike? The bear question one more time?

581
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: What was it again? The question is the craziest place

582
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: she ever smoked cannabis? Maybe the crazy the dumbest was

583
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: back when he used to living the dorms, had a

584
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: guy a couple of doors down where you'd go smoke

585
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: blunts in his dorm. And of course like, okay, if

586
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: you're down to do it in your dorm, will do

587
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: it at your place. But you know, sure enough, the

588
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: whoever our answer is knocking on the door like, hey,

589
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: you can't be smoking here. Oh it's okay, it's the

590
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: back was like, yeah, you can't smoke that in here either,

591
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: Like what a great way, though, No, this is just

592
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 1: a cigarette. It just smells. She's like, no, no, I

593
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: know what it is. Question number four, the high five?

594
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: What is your go to munchy after you get high?

595
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: M I was gonna say snicker a little, but that

596
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I guess that doesn't like because that toffee snicker do

597
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: it or Rise crispy treat. I need to get a

598
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: few of them. Yeah, I eat those after I eat

599
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: after you're high high. Okay, this sounds that that might

600
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: be your go too munchy afterwards. I can see. Do

601
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: you ever make them just not medicated to you and

602
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: people just go to town on them? I do. I

603
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: kind of had to just to keep my brand alive

604
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: and to let because you can't go go into shops

605
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: unless it's manifested or if you know you can, so

606
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: you can give that as a sample, say this is

607
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: what it tastes like without the t seeing it, and

608
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: then people get a man, I want to try some

616
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: If you could smoke cannabis with anyone dead or alive,

617
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: who would it be and why? Um? I would. You know,

620
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: of the kind of the reasons that I got into

621
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: this was to help his cancer. And he never was

622
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: in the pot, but I really wanted to smoke a

623
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: joint with him and to show him how I made

624
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,320

00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: know about it, once again, go to cosmos edibles dot com.

651
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: You know a group out of the Santa Cruz and

652
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: for those who are listening around the world and wondering,

653
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: Santa Cruz is one of these spots where cannabis is

654
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: very influential, very much like you know Humblet. In my opinion,

655
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: you got the Humblet County area and you've got Santa

656
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Cruz and growing up in the Bay Area myself and

657
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: San Jose, you knew when you got weed from both

658
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: of those the areas it was gonna be top notch

659
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: because cats really knew how to go. And I'm talking outdoor.

660
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: It was tasty, it was green as can be, it

661
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: was crispy, it was everything there is to it. And

662
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 1: and before I let you go, as I say that,

663
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: this question just comes to mind, is how did the

664
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: market out there in Santa Cruz accept you? Because the

665
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: unseen truth in Santa Cruz and Humble this this is

666
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: our annabis, right, It's like, this is our community. Humble

667
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: has like these you know rules. There's about four or

668
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: five families that run it really out there. I don't

669
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: know what it's like in Santa Cruz. I know a

670
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 1: few people, but I mean, you know, you can go

671
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: deep in them woods and there's a lot of deep

672
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: FROs in Santa Cruz, just like Humble. And some folks

673
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: don't really know that about Santa Cruz because I don't

674
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: think Santa Cruz gets its props that it's deserved, you

675
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: know what I mean, we don't drop Oh that's Santa Cruz.

676
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't get it like Humble, and I don't think

677
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: it is that the Humble status, but it's right under it, right,

678
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, blue, wouldn't you say growing up to like

679
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: all the deals that you've done. And you know the

680
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: quote unquote back when like when you got that Santa

681
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: Cruz bomb, you know it was it wasn't necessary for me.

682
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessary Santa Cruz in general, but it was

683
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: northern Cally so, but Northern Cally and it would probably

684
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: come from Santa Cruz or Humble. I was. I wasn't

685
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: humbled a lot. I spent a lot of time in Humble.

686
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: But yes, I did see the Santa Cruz fire. And

687
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 1: and the truth is is that in northern California, they

688
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: just grew a better quality. They knew what it was.

689
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: It wasn't fast food, it was quality and and and

690
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: so yeah, you know the Santa Cruz. Yeah. So so

691
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: my point is, day when I'm alluding to his did

692
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: the Santa Cruz O G growers o G community when

693
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: you come in there and you get your license? Was

694
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: there any conflict? Was there any anything that happened where

695
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, guys, I'm I'm here, I'm part of

696
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: this community as well, let's make it happen. Yeah. I mean,

697
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: you've got the surfer mentality, the good old boy mentality,

698
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: and I've been here growing mentality, And I didn't have

699
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: the mentality of like, oh hey, I've been involved for

700
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: a really long time and I grew up in the

701
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: mountains here. I didn't really show my hands like that.

702
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, I was quite so when I

703
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: did come to uh, to the table, you know, there

704
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: was it was it was conflicted. You know there, who's

705
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 1: this guy? You know? Oh, he doesn't serve with us

706
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: like or you know, or he hasn't you know, he

707
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: only lived here when since the eighties, so you know,

708
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: so I had to really work them, but I was.

709
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: I was able to get into half the shops there

710
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: and um, and I'm still working on the other ones. Um.

711
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: But old boy network, the good old boys. The one

712
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: thing too is the microclimates. There were so many microclimates

713
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: in Santa Cruz and that's what creates all these different

714
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: types of great uh cannabis up there. Um. But also

715
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: the regulations really crushed them out there, becatures of those

716
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: because of that mountain. What about Big Sir? You ever

717
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: go to Big Sir out there? Is that? Is that

00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,720
