Is your increase ince 100 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: August to the present if that's not going green? And 101 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: if you guys have been wondering why I've always been 102 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: jumping on til Ray from the jump how many starts, 103 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: Well it didn't tell what.

Yes, 106 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 1: it has had its roller coaster ride, don't get me wrong, Craig, 107 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: and we have seen that go. But I was I 108 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: believe it's still the company because of what they're doing 109 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: in Israel, what they're doing here with in Germany, not here, 110 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: but in Germany, what they're doing, what they've done with SDSU, 111 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: their college that they're sending cannabis over. They are just 112 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: doing so many big things to move the research button forward. 113 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: And they're producing not only that great cannabis in Canada. 114 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: And of course, Craig, I don't know if you were 115 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: here for this one, which I don't think you were, 116 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: because we would have went back and forth on this. 117 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Till Ray actually allowed are not allowed bought into MEDMN. 118 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: So now till Ray has that med Men arm. Once 119 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: it goes all crazy here in California and they can 120 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: come over here and start using it and selling it 121 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: at a til Ray they have med Men as part 122 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: of their portfolio, a piece of it that they're running 123 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: with now as their American arm, and especially California. So 124 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: this till Ray company, folks, is it was a story 125 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: I said a while back, and I remember saying it going. 126 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: I wish Craig was on the line because Blue and 127 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: I were talking how med Men is never gonna die, 128 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: and they, you know, grab some till Ray money to 129 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: keep them afloat. Not that they probably needed it, but 130 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure it helped. Right as they were hurting, buying jets, 131 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: doing all kinds of crazy ship. Now they got a 132 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: whole new board. They're doing smart stuff with their money. 133 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: They're partnering up with bigger companies and smarter companies like 134 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: till Ray who are on the cutting edge of my 135 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: opinion and doing the right things. So it's just crazy 136 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: to see stock numbers like this guy's when you're thinking Oh, 137 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: I wonder how the cannabis games going will increases?

Well, I'm into a couple of penny 144 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: stocks now. It's basically gambling money. It's gambling money. So 145 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: you just do a few thousand bucks here and there. 146 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: Nothing too much, not too much. I gotta, I gotta, 147 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta, I got, I got a little 148 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: bit in there. But if uh, these companies take off, 149 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fat city. If they don't, then you 150 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: lose a couple of bucks.

And guys, it's gonna be going down. 182 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 1: So Craig, let us know what's going down in cannabis news. Well, 183 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: you know this is this is actually some great news 184 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: and and it just shows you how if you do 185 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: regulations correctly, you're gonna have that effect and that impact 186 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: on the distroportionate war on crime, on on weed and 187 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: disproportion impact it has on the minority communities. This is 188 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: some great news. We know how New York City just 189 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: regulated adult use marijuana. They're one of the only states 190 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: that said you can smoke it. Wherever you can smoke 191 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: a cigarette, wherever you can smoke a smoke, you can 192 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: smoke weed. Feels like there are game in New York, right, 193 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: I mean that you can bring into that's a nice thing. Well, 194 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: know what you're saying is how many you can have. 195 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: I thought that you can't fly in with three ounces. 196 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 1: You can't fly in anywhere. No, no state can authorize 197 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: you to fly in or come into their state without 198 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: of state cannabis. Oh, so that's crossing the state lines, 199 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: and that's federal. I don't know why Craig I assumed 200 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: that's what it meant, like you can come in with you. 201 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't recall right now. But they had a good 202 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: amount that you could have. I think it was three 203 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: ounces of what you could have. I think it might 204 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: have been three ounces here it's an ounce most places 205 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: it's an ounced, but there's three ounces for adult use. 206 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: But this is the great part. Arrests for criminal possession 207 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: of cannabis fell from a hundred in sixty three in 208 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: the first quarter of one to just eight in the 209 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: latest quarter eight. I wonder how many of the men 210 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: from a d sixty three in the first quarter of 211 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: one before legalization, now it fell to just eight in 212 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: the last quarter. Am I the only one that goes? 213 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: I wonder how many of those eight are minorities? Let 214 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: alone on what what? What it says is that under 215 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: the legalization, those um adults and older can possess up 216 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: to three ounces. So the bus are those for possession 217 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: and excess of the limit, So if you were out 218 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: there smoking, you were getting arrested before. This is interesting too. 219 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: In New York, cannabis related summons meaning they're telling you 220 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: you have to come to court because of a cannabis case, 221 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 1: declined from three thousand, six hundred and eighties seven in 222 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: the first quarter to just eight in April. May and June. 223 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Six were first unlawful possession and two were from unlawful sales. Okay, so, 224 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: and they haven't even launched their retail sales yet. This 225 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: is just for strictly possession. So it dropped from three thousands, 226 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: six hundred eighty seven to eight because the law says 227 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: you can't harass people standing around smoking a joint if 228 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: they're in a spot where it's uh, it's legal dope? 229 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: Is that to be real hyped on that? What's interesting 230 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: is in the cities that didn't do it like this, 231 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: compare those with for example, Chicago, in the first year 232 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: after legalization took effect and retailers opened up in there 233 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: were still nearly three thousand marijuana related to rest, just 234 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: proportionately targeting black people and will Most of these arrests 235 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: were possession were for possession of over the limit un 236 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: listen sales. Another fact that has likely contributed to the 237 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: more abrupt drop and arrest in New York City is that, 238 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: unlike in other legal states, public consumption is legal where 239 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: tobacco was permitted, So you're not gonna get any type 240 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: of you know, I smell it, it's illegal to smoke 241 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: it here, so I can arrest you and have probable 242 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: cost to search you and find all the other ship 243 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: that's on you. Would that be I mean, with your 244 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: knowledge of New York law, Craig, would that mean I 245 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: get pulled over in New York and I there's weed 246 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: smell in the car, that's not enough probable cause anymore 247 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: to search my ship? You know what, I can't comment 248 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: on the on the probable cause, on the probable cause issue, 249 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: on something like that. But if it's the same as California, 250 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: where smell is no longer probable cause, it has to 251 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: be something more than the smell has to be the 252 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: smell and you are swerving the smell and you know 253 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: you have eight pounds in the you know, sitting next 254 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: to you in UH in New York, in CALLI or 255 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: New York and Cali for sure, and CALLI. The smell 256 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: alone is not probable cause. And we keep getting cases 257 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: dismissed where idiot cops are saying it's based on the 258 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: probable causes based on smell. It has to be based 259 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: on smell and some other independent probable cause issue, not 260 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: just smell. Sure. So, and what's also like this is 261 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: pretty fucked up. In Denver, Colorado, they saw significant reduction 262 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: and arrest for possession, dropping from one thousand, five forty 263 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: eight and two thousand fourteen this is an older study, 264 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: to three d and fifty one in two thousand sixteen. 265 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: So that's a good sign it dropped. But at the 266 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: same time, because unlike New York, they have public consumption laws, 267 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and arrest skyrocketed from it says here, from eight to 268 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: eight hundred and ninety one in the same time frame 269 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: in Colorado. Right, so they can't arrest you for this, 270 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 1: So they're arresting you for public consumption. That is so wrong. Hey, 271 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: it's legal here and in most states, in most states, 272 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: I think, I think, and I haven't done the actual research. 273 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: I think New York is the only state so far 274 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: that has legalized public consumption. Public consumption of cannabis wherever 275 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: you can smoke tobacco the only state so all the 276 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: other states are still arresting people for profession. York up 277 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: for New York Finals. You know what I mean, It's 278 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: pretty crazy that uh it's still arrests are up in 279 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: uh smoking in the concrete jungle where dreams are made up. 280 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Craig finishing lyrics. I mean. The nice thing 281 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: was then Governor Cuomo when he signed a legalization and 282 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: I actually got ahold of this memo sent to memos 283 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: to officers updating them on the new policies from marijuana 284 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: and explaining they just can't what they can and can't 285 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: bust people for. It was literally a memo that I'm 286 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,160 Speaker 1: sure here in California never there was none ever sent 287 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: to the police to HP, never a memo such as this. 288 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: They were lying on those officers knowing the law, which 289 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: nine times out of ten they don't. I think Cuomo 290 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: sent that email out just after he sent the short 291 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: skirt requirement. You know what, Come on, let's not talk 292 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: about that. I don't know. I'm just saying I can't 293 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: just support all the damns like you know, I gotta 294 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: I got as much as I love him and you know, 295 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: support him. I got. I still gotta throw my jabs 296 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: and bunches just because he's on my side. I mean, 297 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: I gotta throw. You know, he got blue, he gotta. 298 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if you understand the joke there, but 299 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: he got he had to quit because he was flirting 300 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: with women and all these So speaking of going green, 301 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, after the short skirt memory requirement on add 302 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: on to your grow grow green moment to eventually generate 303 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: two five million and annual marijuana revenue. For the first 304 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: year of cannabis sales, the state is expected to see 305 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: just about twenty million. That will be part of an 306 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: estimated twenty six point seven billion in revenues new you 307 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: are expected to generate in the fiscal year twenty one 308 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: two under the budget they just passed in April. They're 309 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: they're saying that the legalization is going to create sixty 310 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: thousand new jobs during three point five billion in economic 311 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: activity and generating and estimated three hundred million in tax 312 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: revenue and fully implemented. I mean, it's nuts when we 313 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 1: see these numbers. I'm so used to you and you 314 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: can make this kind the money and still not raping everybody. 315 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: You don't need the exorbitant high taxes. When you can 316 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: sell this much weed and it's a consumable, so you 317 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: buy it, you use it, you need more. It's not 318 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: something that sits on the shelf like a TV. Like 319 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 1: I just I just changed out a TV eight years later. 320 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: It's every week, every month. They got people gotta buy 321 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 1: more every day for that matter, charge less. Get more 322 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: people into the regulated market, you're gonna make much more. 323 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: You missed. The other podcast had a story that's said, 324 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, we're basically gonna be having too much cannabis 325 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: here in California because the crops are gonna be overwhelming 326 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: and the prices are gonna drop down. So you know, 327 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: well that's happening right now. Actually right now. They're from 328 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: what I've read a few places, somewhe of a glut. 329 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: But as I tell all our clients, when they say, 330 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: is there too many people in the industry? Is there 331 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: too many growers? Is there too many manufacturers, the answer 332 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: is there's always room for another.

Everything 350 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: you're doing, they won't talk about it. I think I 351 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: don't really care what they think.

That's still one of the freak people out. 415 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 1: So this is a kind of a Halloween theme thing, 416 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: But bottom line is a haunted Denver hotel has plans 417 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 1: to become a marijuana consumption lounge. How great would that 418 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 1: be going? Hey man, let's go to that hotel that's haunted. 419 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: A Denver hotel with a haunted past is looking to 420 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: become an official cannabis consumption lounge. According to a report 421 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 1: from Westward Now. The hotel is in Patterson in which 422 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: Chris C. H I A. R. I. Chary whatever his 423 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: name is, purchased in two thousand eighteen. Congratulations on your purchase. 424 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: You must have some nice money there, Chris, with the 425 00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: intent of turning it into a marijuana friendly hotel. Because 426 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: the Peterson was zoned as a multi unit property, it 427 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: was ineligible for Denver's marijuana hospitality license program. So then 428 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: Patterson urged the city to rezone the Patterson as mixed 429 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: use property, and on auguste the Denver City Council approved 430 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: his requests. So not only will this be the first 431 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: marijuana friendly hotel in Denver, but will also be the 432 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: first ha ha ha ha hunted marijuana friendly hotel. The 433 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: city has its fair share of hotels with haunted past, 434 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: although the hundred four year old Patterson in formerly known 435 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 1: as Croike Patterson Mansion has been remodeled. Guest staff and 436 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: Sharra have reported running into ghosts, so they're saying there's 437 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: ghosts there. They ran into it. My question to you, Craig, 438 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: it's simply, do you believe in ghosts? Can you hear me? 439 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 1: I just I just saw a ghost. Was he from 440 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: the Bay Area? He was from the Bay I think 441 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: he might have been from San Jose, Joe. Do you 442 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: know him? I don't. I mean, I don't go think 443 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: about it though. I don't know about the way they're 444 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: they're depicted on TV. Maybe maybe not that you know 445 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: a little caspar the ghost maybe, but uh. But what 446 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: I do know is that it's not the first marijuana 447 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: friendly hotel. What it may be is the first openly 448 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: marijuana friendly hotel, because when I went to Denver a 449 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: few years ago, you can google marijuana friendly hotels and 450 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: some of them won't give you the address, or they'll 451 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: give you the address but not the name of the hotel, 452 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: so they're not so much out there. This one's fully 453 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: doing it right. I mean, he went to the city 454 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: council as that's how it should be exactly, this guy, 455 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 1: and that's are this person is getting props for it. 456 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: So in my opinion, this hotel is doing it right 457 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: from from everything at from all aspects of it right. 458 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: So but it should let Yeah, I don't see the problem. 459 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,439 Speaker 1: They should left. People want to smoke in their hotel 460 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: room and they'll tell allows it. It should be fucking okay, Craig. 461 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: We all agree on that. What we don't know is 462 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: where you really stand on. And we know we you 463 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: stand on. I want to smoke anywhere and everywhere, and 464 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: you'll smoke in a hotel or outside, or you'll go 465 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: to the smoking area that's not legal in certain states 466 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: and still smoke your cannabis. But what we don't know 467 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: and haven't talked to you about is you're the oldest 468 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: of the crew here. You've been to the one that 469 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 1: could see a lot of ghosts. I've actually saw a few. 470 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: All bullshit aside. I'm wondering. I want to be serious 471 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: about it. When I was when I was at U C. 472 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: L A. Now, it might have been the m coked 473 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: out of your mind. No, it might have been the mushrooms. 474 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 1: It might have been the mushrooms. We were we were 475 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: were uh, we were exploring the underneath of U C. 476 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: L A where it was aldon a ravine and I 477 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: think I saw a few ghosts there. Um, but no, 478 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: I've I've never seen a ghost. Well I can't say that. 479 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 1: Which one is Hey I've seen a ghost when I 480 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: was at U c l A. Hey, I've never seen 481 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: a ghost. Which one is it? You liar, I'm busting 482 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: your balls. No, the ghost of U. C l A 483 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 1: was probably because of the shrewds. So have you ever 484 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: had a spiritual encounter that you can't understand and be 485 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: like was this a ghost? Was this some type of 486 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: spiritual something that you just can't explain? Yeah, like who 487 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: moved that? Who opened that door? How did that get? 488 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: They're feeling a touch of something like I've had and 489 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: and and potentially seen something in the hallway. So now 490 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: you so I don't know what to believer, which flip 491 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: flop you're doing right now? But that's all true. What 492 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: I just rambled off. I said it so quick you 493 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: can it's true. Say it again so I can follow 494 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: your story because I don't know whether to believe you 495 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: or not. So now you're being every now and then 496 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 1: it's like I don't know what I can't come up 497 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: with the example right this minute. But it's like, how 498 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: the fund did that get there? I know I didn't 499 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: leave that there. Do you know, do you ever have 500 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: these signs of like, you know, someone from the dead 501 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: talking to you. I never had someone from the dead 502 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: talk to me, but I may have seen something that 503 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: looked like, uh, that's what's it called an apparition, you know, 504 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: in a in a hallway an old part of the house. 505 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: So it's funny because I'm gonna share a couple with 506 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: you right that hopefully you'll get little chills from. So 507 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: from my experiences, my first one that I encountered with 508 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: my mother when she was alive, she was really sick. 509 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: My mom was out on dialysis and you know, it 510 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: was a real terrible time where you know, she thought 511 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: she was gonna diet even a younger age. She died 512 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 1: at fifty two, but she had their kidney transplants, had 513 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: all these random things right, and so UM, at one 514 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: point we called somebody from the church to come over 515 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: and pray for her, and the church says, oh, yeah, 516 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: we want to send a priest over. Right. Ironically, like 517 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: the night before UM, she had this feeling of like 518 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: she said, she thought the Lord coming over and said, Helen, 519 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna be okay, and the kind of like felt 520 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: this warmness and she was like, oh my god, Okay, 521 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna heal. I'm gonna be okay, I'm 522 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: gonna be fine from this. So then the priest comes 523 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: the next day. Ironically, she tells the priest's story, and 524 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: the priest tells her, Helen, I don't think you should 525 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: ever tell the story again to anybody, because you sound 526 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: ridiculous and this is just you know out there. There's 527 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: no way that you have this encounter with you know, 528 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 1: feeling like you felt the Lord's presence and blah blah blah. 529 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: She's like blown away crying. We're sitting there. I'm like, 530 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: what the fox this dude talking about? Right where? Just 531 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: punch this dude. He's gonna tie on right, And I'm 532 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: like kind of like bothered by it, but I'm like whatever, 533 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: it's the priest, but it So the next that day 534 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: goes by and what man, let's call the church and 535 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: complain about this dude. Right, We call the church and 536 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: they said we never sent anyone, and we're like, what 537 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: exactly exactly? That was the first one in my life 538 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: of like some encountered a blue you're just walking in. 539 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: There's a haunted Denver hotel that plans to become a 540 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: marijuana consumption lounge, but it's haunted. So I asked Craig 541 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: if he believes in ghosts are spiritual awakenings or science. 542 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 1: So that was my first one. Happen to be around 543 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: my mother as well. My mom died. It's three months 544 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: to the day my mom dies today.

I don't encourage it, but this is how 552 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: I used to live.
