before, so I'm gonna let you say. So I saw this, you
know, I go to this one disco that has like one of the bulk
Rosen deals we found, and I saw this was really cool and I wanted
to give them some love because they are let me pull up the overlay.
They are a Simponia Farms. And why I like this brand or why I
appreciate this brand, respect this brands I should say appreciate and respect. Uh
that it is disabled, veteran owned and operated. So it chowse you know,
you know that's just kind of like a nice way to support you know,
your money's going towards someone that could use it. Right, So I
thought that was nice. We should highlight them. You know, we highlight
big companies all the time, so this was a cool smaller company. It's
called smacking. You see our ru our wide shot camps. I'm gonna be
actually doing a hot dab today for a change, because a puff Go still
has not. I have not replaced the glass, but that's what I'm doing
today, So I'm excited. I don't think he's going to replace the glass.
No, no, I have to. I've just been with it.
Yeah, so think about the the the what's it called? The info?
Not a lot of info. Unfortunately, it was only seventy two point not
only but there's only THC really so the basic Yeah, and then they have
CBD two but zero. But the test date was October six, twenty twenty
three, so not too old. It's about six and a half seven yeah,
yeah, probably six and a half. Yeah, so not bad.
Called smacking. Oh is it smacking? Actually? Yeah? The smell is
actually really nice. Oh give me a second with it, ain't I ain't
telling you the pass it? Yeah, it's so we Gucci. It's almost
got like that sour skunk type of piny type of sour skung piny in there.
Wow. Well it's because I when I when I got it, I
did smell it, but it was so cold. I'm like, oh,
didn't smell anything. I was surprised on that smell. It didn't smell better
than I expected. What would you be give it on that aroma? That's
out a fifteen on our sky, I believe, so I would probably give
it a little bit more than I expected, probably like a thirteen, because
it does pop. I mean, I don't know if it's ripping, but
it's popping. You know. You don't have to shove your nose in at
twelve and a half like it's popping. It smells pretty good. I like
it. So I'll go thirteen just to give us some all of them.
I'll hurt you with the twelve twelve and a half. I'll do twelve and
a half. My alergies are killing me today, so danger Oh you're trying
to harn to smell? Yeah, no, they smell like a gas but
pine. I smell like pine out. That's why I said pine in there
too. I said, a sour skunkiness, but there's pine. You know,
it's almost like an evergreen pine. Crazy, right, I just thought
there was some skunkiness to it too. There might be I'm getting more of
the pine. Yeah, no, there's definitely a pine there. There's definitely
pine. My allergies are killing me. With snow blizzard to now sixty five
degrees in sunny out today, I mean, Jesus Christ, Michigan, can
you keep it together? Yeah, I'm with you, though it isn't maybe
as like like I guess you know I can't smell from here. Yeah,
no, no, it doesn't pop like that. I mean it pops because
I liked it. And you gotta remember when I first smelled it, I
didn't get anything, so I just thought and I just assumed because it was
cold, but right, so at least it surprised me already because I thought
unfortunately, I was like, damn, it didn't smell, So this is
actually better. So like, yeah, twelve and a half, I'm still
at twelve and a half because it does pop and I like it. I
think that's what's kind of giveing me little extra as I like the smell.
Yeah, how's the consistency on it? It looks a little drier. I'm
curious how it curious how it is a little drier. A little drier,
but I mean it val yeah, but that I was about to say,
you add a little bit of your pressure from your heat. It's malleable versus
you know, doesn't look like you're really losing any either. Yeah, I
mean it might be with one of those like you know, those circles where
it's like, you know, more dry, but I mean you can still
make a doughnut out of it. It is a little dry though, so
not too shabby. What what are you gonna give on consistency? You think
it's a little dryness. I haven't touched second. Um, it's a little
dry, probably about eight eight and a half if it had the turp shine
to it, then the turp layer, probably nine and a half. Yeah,
I'm probably at like a seven and a half eight eight, let's go
eight. Yeah, because I sometimes but again you don't know that this flavor
can still shock me. I just sometimes get turned off by the dryness.
But we shall see. Yeah, the dryness to me is not too bad.
To me. This the dry stuff I hate is when it turns dry
and then it crumbles. So that's what I was saying, like this,
That's why I gave it a little bit. I just said, The dry
is a turnoff for me just in general. That's always saying it wasn't a
big deal. It just reminds me of almost how like you get that crumbly
type of wax rosin and it's not crumble. You know, You're like,
it's not what I want. Yeah to me, it did. Yeah,
it didn't crumble all the way, because I've had some stuff where you literally
rolled it and it just falls apart in your hand. That shit's the worst
facts, that stuff. That is some of the worst rosin. Yeah,
heat it up, Brough, we's gonna talk why it's going. It is
what it is, so as groovy. Heats that up because I'm gonna take
my dad when you take your dab. I'm still doing the puff co.
Actually, thank you for the reminder. I got to turn mine down a
little bit. I'm gonna do mine. I'm five hundred for this. I'm
curious how the flavor is going to be smacking. I don't know much on
the strain. I wonder if it's related to uh, what's it called.
That's smack by Exotic the Go. You can check out the strain. Nope,
it's mac Daddy Cross with pancakes, London pound cakes seventy five, says
KM eleven, which I thought would be Cushman's. Huh you said mac Daddy
and what was the other strain? I'm checking another site? Pancakes, So
that sounds pretty good. It's also called macin with the lower A. S
Well, that makes sense. So it's smacking. Is mac Daddy cross with
pancakes on that one site? And pancakes would make sense because that's what's it
called that cookies? Isn't that cookies pancakes? If they make that, Yeah,
I probably got London pound cake crossing it. That makes sense. Yeah,
because I sue I've seen pancakes when we went to the Vegas or something.
Yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so that makes sense. All
right, Well I'm gonna you said you're doing ears on five. Yeah,
right now, I don't know what I'm doing mine on mine, hope some
parts hopefully I need to get into like a like a laser thing, do
the timings. But yeah, you do. It's the last you need and
then you got the whole dab kits. So cheers out there if you're listening,
Yeah, go ahead and let me know what you think. See I'm
excited. Yeah, I mean like i' I like me some Mac genetics,
you know. I like Lendon pound Cake. I don't know if I've ever
tried the pancakes, and if we did, we might have just done like
a pre roll. That's the thing. I don't remember if we smoked.
We don't any I remember we didn't buy an eight. I think we tried
pancakes, though I might have. Though I've seen this rain out there.
It's a cookie strain because I don't go to the one here. Really it's
your first take. It's like I gotta get that second hit in. Yeah,
it's not as much piney as I was smelling. That's where I get
a little bit that like funky skunkiness in there, more like a Mac which
I'm assuming is Mac Daddy in there. I really don't know what pancakes tastes
like, but I get that it kind of tastes like pancakes almost almost.
It's an interesting flavor. I'll be honest. It's kind of different from my
palate. It's almost like something funky mixed with it, like that Mac mix
with something piny. It's like it's nice. It's not my absolute favorite,
but I don't dislike it, so I'd probably be like right at twelve on
it because it's it's still flavorful Scott like that sweet sweetness probably think comes from
the pancakes. Yeah, see, I don't mind it. I'm right there
with you, probably like twelve and a half thirteen. But I like it.
I like it. I really enjoyed it. It's not yeah, good,
good, good job. You know me. I like gas ear stuff,
skunky star like piney stuff, and you get a little mix of them.
And how do you feel on strain? I feel like I could take
another dab. Yeah, that's where I'm at too. I mean I could
probably rip it another one. I feel like it's pretty solid because it feels
more more balanced. But I do feel a little bit more in the head
than I was expecting. I expecting more of a body buzz. Yeah,
I could see that with that kind of hitting the head little bit more I
was with the smack, and I would think the name would just put me
on my feet. When you say Mac, I'm just like, oh,
it's a body buzz, but kind of. I mean the head a little
balance for sure. I definitely feel it all over, but let's not like
maybe if you're gonna go percent sixty forty sixty five, thirty fives towards the
head, I feel as well to anxiety. Had those more like a calm
calm oupity guess there. I've just been noticing judging myself staring at you.
Then I'm like, oh, yeah, I look at his face. I'm
just like looking at your shoulder and like my shoulder and my shoulder into in
the talking but tries. Yeah, I don't know. I'd probably give it
an eight on strength. Oh okay, whoa we almost a lot? Canada
was canadaan Canada dead? No more waken bakes, heavy, candle lame.
But the high in effect though, I like that better than the strength though,
because the high, the high I'm digging. I would say it's above
average and the strength wise, but I don't think it's like, you know
not you know, no, seven and a half eight. I think I'm
right there with you there. But I do enjoy the flavor and I do
like the buzz. Yeah, the buzz. I'd give a twelve on it
because it's a nice it's a nice daytime buzz. You're not going to be
knocked out on this, and it keeps you pretty level headed. Yeah,
yeah, I might be there a little with you a little less, only
because I definitely love the body buzzes. But you know, maybe just like
eleven eleven and a half value now, the value is where it's smacking like
for the price, I can't all day, not even on sale, thirty
five dollars. So that's why I want to get it, because I was
like, for being prepackaged and probably like that's probably their going price at most
is buzs like that's pretty fair. That's not good. No, I mean
I think they could I mean not saying it's much more, but they could
have got forty. Like it's it's like, there's not much different that five
bucks. The fact that they're lowering their price shows that they're just trying to
like help. So that's cool with the customer's price, I imagine, yeah,
probably unless it was that dispo. But I mean I imagine if that
disco's doing it that low all day, all dispos price to do something similar,
I'll probably give it like a right around eighth. That's not bad value.
No, I think if anything, you're gonna you know, you're gonna
get some decent rose. It was a little dry. Yeah, and that's
why I could you go. I could see some people saying some stuff,
but you know, I don't. I think the price is definitely more like
it's fair, you know, it's more than fair. But then they I
don't necessarily think it should be at fifty either, you know. So I'm
not saying it. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, I'm not
just saying it's over It's not over ranked by any means. But it's not
a rip off either. It's kind of like right right where it should be.
Would you recommend and repurchase it? Mmm? See that's where it,
you know, because now we're getting bulk ross and all these different types of
deals, And now that's where I'm not sure because sometimes I can find myself
for like a like a little bit. I don't know. I don't know.
That's where I'm not sure. What about you? I like it?
I probably it probably a different strain. It depends you know what it is.
You know what it is is. I would I would try the company
again. I probably wouldn't get smacking again because I enjoyed it, but that
like a little bit of dryness and like it's just like damn, you know.
Yeah, definitely that. I would definitely buy him again because I like
the veteran owned and what was it. Yeah, the brand seems definitely cool
to see disabled veteran owned and operated. And I enjoyed the taste, but
the high kind of turned me off where I'm like, eh, you know,
I mean just because of me personally, though, but I would give
I'd give them one more chance. Yeah, I see, I didn't care
for the flavor as much, but the high is better to me. See,
it's funny, we're in verse there. It's funny. But either way,
you know, we would do. We'd both give them a chance because
like at the end, they it was good. It was good enough to
say like that wasn't bad ros And I would never say that was bad.
And I've had some shit where I'm like that was bad, So that was
not bad by any means. Yeah, it's right at the cosp of passings
like seventy eight and a half Night seventy nine, I think I would give
it the stamp of approval on my end only because like I was leaning towards
liking it the whole time, So just because it just didn't reflect the points,
I would still give it, Like the stampard prove just like a light
stamping light thing, same thing though, right, you're leaning there too,
And like, because you know, I go with you, I'll give it
the stamp of approval, and because I think if it wasn't dry, that
would have made the difference, right, And that's the only difference that the
other strains might have passed. Right. So it's like, ah, well,
we'll see, we'll see, we'll check it out, you know,
we'll try another one. Yeah, that's what we'll have to do. We'll
do it again. We'll give them a chance. The brand until you bought
it, so yeah, And I think that's a fair way to say,
because if it's like, you know, if the brand is like not something
like not good at all, we'll say it. But fan's very good,
we'll say it. And then the ones in the middle much worse on the
market. Yeah, And then the fact that I'll give them a chance just
shows that I'm like, yeah, so cool. We'll shout out to uh
Simponia Farms and the little warm up. I'll probably rip another dab my own
stuff before we get into that review eventually. But yeah, let's talk some
articles, dude. There's some cool stuff going on all over the world and
in Michigan. So we got we'll hit hit me with the first one ship.
Let's see, well, right now I have the last one pulled over,
pulled up, so I'm killing it right now. So we're not gonna
start let's you know what, let's start. Let's start in Michigan. Yeah,
because the one in the middle is probably be the longer one, so
let's do that. But I'm gonna start on the opposite end. So I'm
gonna start out with this just this interesting kind of like already cool thing that's
happening. I didn't actually see the date that it went into effect, but
the CRA has created this task force called Task Force sixteen sixteen twenty. Yes,
sorry my filter h one parenthesis. Yeah, and the point of this
and I'll just read it so I just don't obliterate the words, because essentially
it's to help out veterans and kind of help out businesses and stuff. So
anyways, in order to further support Michigan Armed Services veterans, the Cannabis Regulatory
Agency or the CRA announced Task Force sixteen twenty t have won six one six
two zero. My candidate descent licensee who will implement. Licensees who have implemented
a Veteran Access program that offer cannabis to veterans at a seventy five to one
hundred percent discount of rate are eligible to participate in the TF sixteen to twenty
program. So essentially, it sounds like they're creating this program to help veterans
get discount of rates. Stuff and retailers in this Task Force sixteen twenty will
have to complete flexibility regarding the details of their Veteran Access program. It may
set their own parameters on all assets, including the maximount donator given per veteran,
what percentages of disabilities qualify as veteran in the program, what veterans per
week, slash or month or will be donated, and one number of veterans
are in their program. Licensees who are proved to participate in the Task Force
will have their business information and Veterans Access Program program published on the CIRA web
page. They will also receive a seal display the facility. So I think
it's kind of cool. It's just kind of a way for companies to,
you know, give back, especially when you see veteran owned companies, you
know they're probably look in the task Force, and I don't know if there's
some type. Now it doesn't get into details like hey, you know you
get some tax right off or something, but I'm sure there's some benefit to
this program other than giving back, you know, because that's the good part,
right, that's the that's the beauty of it. If you're discounting your
product, there's something. It's a social equity program. So I don't know
if they're giving you money or discount or I don't know what they're giving you,
but like, I just thought it was interesting to see that they like,
hey, if you're willing to donate and give your hook your veterans up,
which a lot of people already are. So just that's true. No,
I like that article. I didn't even hear anything about it until you
brought it up. I don't even know if I saw anything announced. I
just was like googling cannabis and like it just came up and I saw the
task Force and I read about it. I'm like, so, I was
like, that's why they want to obliterate my my you know, blah blah
blah, my jargon to like, you know, because it's not that long
of an article. You know, you can just go on the CRA and
then you go to Resources Veteranies Sources task for sixteen twenty if that'll help people
get there too. So I you know, I don't know, we'll see,
you know, I'm sure there's something you can do, but I just
think it's kind of cool to be a part of that, and you know,
yeah, no, no, no, I think it's great. I'm
glad to see because the that's in need, that that's the need, the
need cannabis, love of them, using a lot of them. You can't
use it within if you get pharmaceuticals, you can either use one or the
other. So gain access to cheaper cannabis would beneficial for any vet too,
right, Yeah, man, of course, I mean especially when you consider
like a lot of these vets can benefit from cannabis, and especially with like
like right now we're in this middle ground of cannabis is legal, but it's
not fully legal, right like nationally in in the United States, right,
right, So I feel like this helps because there's a lot of people who
support the vets and who are vets and who are related to vets and no
vets, right, I feel like this is kind of huge to show how
it can help a large group of people, you know, and you know,
maybe you kind of sway some people. I don't know. Yeah,
No, we'll see, We'll see how it works. I'm curious of what
brands start retailers do it well. And the task force thing is more like
a good cause and I'm sure there's some hookup or task benefit, but at
the end of the day, I feel like that's a good reason. I
just think that it's showing programs like this and showing like and as we if
people see that vets are supporting cannabis more, I think we could start seeing
some really cool things, you know, like because if we ever get to
a point of like decriminalization, like why couldn't you, like right get some
percentage on your cannabis back or something like. It's just like, I mean,
think about it. You go to chiropractice, that's tenchnically a holistic medicine.
Not all insurances are going to cover it, just like every insurance company,
right, But it could be like do you have the green care package?
You know your insurance you know what I mean? You know, I
don't know, like I'll take that package all day, triple a is like
you got the green man the green bag. So I don't know, dude,
like it just I feel like if half the states can call it medicine
but but still not to criminalize, Like, eventually we got to close that
gap. And I think sometimes you know, in large groups like that,
like are like the elderly people benefiting that everyone can understand, you know,
sometimes that helps people see it in a light that doesn't reflect in their own
life, true, because it's like, oh, everyone has a not everyone
see can't talk like this, but a lot of people have a grandmother,
a grandpa, right, A lot of people have an aunt, her and
uncle. These are they can relate to this, you know. So I
don't know. I just thought it was an interest program and I have heard
nothing about it, so it's not to talk about it. So if any
you know, dispos are out there listening, you know, check out the
task for sixteen twenty, you know, it could I don't. I don't
know if there's any benefits. They don't talk about that, you know,
because I don't know. But it's really I'm sure they always offer things like
that, but I uh, just yeah, I just thought it was a
good thing talking about so hell y'all, Yeah, I'm I want to jump
into uh over lancing marijuana business loses licenses over ilictit products. Damn is going
to wait to the last one because this is the one we're going to talk
about for a little bit. But it doesn't matter. We let's talk about
it, dude. Let's talk about this, right So, the Michian Cannabis
Rlatory Agency Thursday, this was last Thursday of the eighteenth, announced that a
licensed marijuana business woud surrender it's medical and adult use processor licenses because I had
a mixing legal an I listed products for the retail market. Sierra said it
signed a consent order in sipulation with Tasa Asset Holdings, which also used the
name Noble Road Company. In February of twenty twenty three, the SIA issued
formal complaints and announced summary suspensions to their licenses, and they've been close since
then. Now they've officially said they should not but not be renewed, reinstated,
reissued, or reactivated limited to otherwise at any future date. The CIRA
said this is all based on video surveillance of them taking in product that was
and from the legal market and the listed market or the elicted market. So
the effected marijuana prices were marketed under the brand Fuego Extracts with the product names.
Yeah, and we I do. We saw that advertisement everywhere for that
Space Rocks stuff. Yes we did, dude, Yes we did. Like
I mean, I saw I like being advertised everywhere in that like you know,
I never I can't sit. I just tried some wax of Fuego and
I didn't like it a long time ago. So I that was the one
and only gram I ever had, right like a long time ago. And
that was like I thought, like my uh my O days, but I
can't even honestly remember or Clio Clio days, gotcha, you know what I'm
saying. Oh, like you know, pre legal. Yeah, but at
the end of the day, I didn't like it, right, So I
never tried the Space Rocks craps. So but at the end of the day,
like we saw it being pushed. You know, I'm not shocked,
you know that that one. That's that one dude, Medical Monday Forever Jay,
that dude used to push that brand. So I used to see it
like Medical Mondays talked about that, that dude, But like I never really
like like you know, and tried it, you know, yeah, I
never I actually don't think I ever tried this stuff. So, and I
had no idea Noble Road and Toego were and all these were associated. Yeah,
no, I don't know, because we had Noble Road on years ago,
right, That's what I'm like. They were the cookie I didn't well
remember they were also probably they were just the processor at the time, so
they were just doing edibles on their own. They probably needed a partner to
get their stuff out, maybe, you know, looking for extra money.
I mean, isn't it isn't that crazy that there's you know that that they
took some stuff then just they did that to ease it in there, just
because they thought they could get away with that because there probably was no tracking
there, and they're just like, oh, save a couple of bucks.
I mean, how much are you really saved? I mean it had to
be a lot you're probably saving, really think so, because but I mean,
what's that wax though? Where's that wax coming from? Exactly? You
don't know, especially if it's like bh oh, I don't know if it
was solving this or solving if it doesn't say anything, well, solvent or
Solventless, Like I don't know, I don't know. I don't know,
man, I just it's doesn't look good for your brand. No, definitely
doesn't look good for the one cat. You know, it doesn't look good
if you were supporting these brands hard because it's like, well, what the
hell? Like I mean, and maybe some people didn't know, but like
if you're like if you're at Tyler, you know, like yeah, uh,
they they knew what they were doing. I mean with so many cameras
and so much shit going on within your operation, Like why would you even
tempt to do this? You know what I'm saying, Like you're just you're
just being dumb at that point, Like TSA Tasreed man, like Reed,
if you can't find partner, there's so many growers out there there you could
find a partner to process their stuff or to make your product. It's just
it just doesn't make sense that you're going to open up the back door.
This isn't two thousand had no more twenty fourteen, where the illegal market was
thriving to medical shops. There's literally cameras in every retail shop. It's seed
to sell, Like all this shit's been pushed even that twenty twenty two was
ready four years into legalization. You know what I'm saying. That was at
the end of twenty twenty two. So just agreed your business was failing.
Maybe maybe that's what it was because you were trying to save pain. Man.
Like I said, I had no idea. I mean, these brands
were associated, right, I didn't. I didn't realize that either. I
remember reading because I just saw Noble Road and then I read the Bomb and
like, hmm, felly go interesting. And obviously they're both under this TS
holding. So if they're not owned by you know, maybe they have separate
sub owners and people have small percentages like every business does. But get the
big holding, the big the big people were Obviously they knew it was going
I mean, and if you didn't know there, I mean, even if
you claim to know what's going on, it's like bullshit. Yeah, like
you know, so I don't know. Man, Still shady shit going on
just to save a couple of bucks. And I get it. You can
make some more money, but like do it the legit way, like Dave
said, make some partners, or maybe that you wanted to make it in
six months. Maybe it's just going to take a year. Sorry, Yeah,
you guys have to have contingency plans, like you literally need to within
cannabis because there's all they stuff going on we've heard from the like you said,
man, I just can't believe you thought you were gonna get away within
the Sea to Sail market, like no cameras, well, no one was
going to catch it. Yeah, no, it's just stupid. It just
doesn't make sense. You'd have to like fake a tag, right, which
then they'd be like, well, what where did this tag come from?
Faking a tag? That's or you would wait, exactly, they all scanned
into the system, right, But like as I learned, as I thought,
like, isn't the wax and say, like they would have to know
where that wax came from. With Sea to Sail, they wouldn't be like,
okay, so the wax doesn't matter. So the flower, like I
don't know, I don't know. It seems like a big overlook somewhere.
The concentrate Is it the bud? Because space rocks was like caviar was moon
rocks? Right? So is it was it the concentrate? Was it the
bud? Was it? All thought? They said? I thought they said
concentrate, but maybe I didn't hear that. Maybe right, could be could
be any part of it, you know, No, you're right, you're
right, you know weird or it says league combining Yeah, in legal and
unregulated canvas in extra Okay, So yeah, I don't know. It'd be
hard to tell. They could even just be siphoning weed in there. Yeah,
that's just crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, it doesn't need to be
in it's dirty, all dirty, all yeah, all right, So anyways,
yeah, no, that was crazy. So Michigan they got a couple
more of the things. We got a couple of things. Dude. Yeah,
that was I just when I read that, I was like, that
is insane, man. I guess we could follow up real quick. Actually,
this one's real quick. Let's just bang this one real quick. So
this one was we all know Gibraltar if you've lived, if you've driven by
nine to ninety four and you're in the metro Detroit area, I should say,
like, you know Gibraltar, right, you've driven by the big Gibaltar,
dude, And that Gibaltar was taken over a long time by pleasant trees
and then fortunately and then they were turning that into a dispo. I just
want to bring it up just because they did open it. I guess it
is opening up this Friday, So they're opening up. It's gonna be our
largest dispo, you know. But it's the same thing about that, Like
who cares, Like it's the same thing as the thing I would miss out
and on Vegas. Yeah, it's it's a it's a you know, it's
a tourist trap, you know, and that's cool. And like if you
offer all the products then into that Michigan has the offer. You know,
sure, you know that's convenient, but like it's it. You know,
there's other things just like that if you want to see that episode, Like,
there's just other things I could see going down with that large of a
dispo. You know, it's hard to teach everyone that same yeah be on
this. I don't know, you know, I feel like someone's gonna like,
ah, you'd have to really really have a good training program for every
single you know, bud tender and every single manager and every single person to
represent your company. Right. So I feel like the larger your disco gets,
it's harder to Oh yeah, because I had two very different experiences when
I went to the one in Vegas. Very good and very late. Right,
So it's just like, you know, so that's why I said,
I don't know if they can be consistent, but it's interesting. Nonetheless,
the biggest one we have, you know, it's just it's the thing to
say, Yeah, I'm curious, I'm beating my MF. Have to just
check it out, just see what. It's pretty close to your place.
It's like relatively you know me, it's a drive and a half. I'm
like, I'm not probably gonna just pass by there anytime. So yeah,
right ninety four or an't even buy me, like you know what I mean,
I gotta drive. But anyways, it's so I don't know, just
wanted to talk about it because I mean, it was an article. That's
what we do, it real quick and around to our last one, around
to our last one in Michigan, and this is the one that we've been
following for a little bit. Yeah, we talked about it recently, not
recently, it's probably recently this year, but I think it not. We
cently talked about it a couple of times. That's why I said, I
feeling we're doing updates everyone's in a while and yet another update of more stuff
and what Groovy's referring to is in Meneme, which is in the up very
close to the Wisconsin border. They were having a couple of dispos were like
hold suing or doing something on the lines. I think it was Rise and
fire Station because they were trying to sue other dispos from opening up based on
some stuff written in legislation, and they've been going back and forth. Now
I believe they're open now. One of the groups looked into it and was
trying to see is their bribery. They launched a private investigation of Focus.
Yeahs, they hired Pi's like they're not playing man, this is going crazy.
But I mean, like I mean, with the things they're claiming,
it makes sense. I mean, marijuana's had a lot of briberies going on
and we haven't had that what they're claiming. So there was this, I
mean, did you okay? So our March twentieth, which is just past.
Sorry, I just ripped the dabs. I was gonna cough. I
thought about a week ago. It was yeah we go Bobby, Yeah,
well not as cool as Bobby schmurder. Oh yeah. But they were so
on this in this meeting. They were essentially a claim that there was corporate
shadow groups popping up to sham citizen committees and effort to stop expansioning of new
cannabis shops, marijuana shops, political bribery investigations, and unethical political moves in
the say are just some of the allegations. So like, that's just crazy.
Yeah, there's a lot of crazy things going on up there, and
I had no idea. I mean, it's it's all fighting for that Wisconsin
money. It's only eight thousand, eight three hundred resident town when you border
Wisconsin. It's all about that Wisconsin right now. That's what's crazy. Because
once Wisconsin goes legal, whatever it does, well, you know how it
goes even with Ohio until it's good and people still ain't gonna like facts because
if they're already used to doing that drive like we have. I mean,
we have that quality too. We do know. Everyone's like oh price,
price price, yeah, price, Matt. But it's like people in Ohio,
if they they're not going to pay more to smoke shittier, like most
people will still do what they're doing. I mean, I'm guessing if they're
already doing it, they'll do that twenty thirty minute drive to Detroit or we
haven't been row whatever to pick up that product. Yeah, and the same
thing in Wisconsin because we have been around now since twenty eighteen. Our product
better and better and better. More brains are bringing more quality products to the
market. So it does happen. When it does happen Green Bay or Wisconsin
goes legal, it'll still be a sh Yeah, menominee. Sounds like things
are just going crazy. Yeah, no, dude, still and it's been
going on for months. I know. We definitely talked about it once.
I thought we talked about all time. So crazy shit. But anyway,
so now on to the rest of the world. We have a couple of
quick things and then we got something just kind of fun. Let's just start
with the biggest one because Germany goldbig one. Yeah, no, give them
a row I am, I am, I just got to get there.
This is huge. Yeah. Congrats, very congrats, very congrats. And
the new law will allow dolts to carry up to twenty five grams for their
own consumption and store fifty grams at home is now slady to come into effect
Monday, April first, which is just awesome because that's like for three days.
That's crazy. It's I was to say here the law is supported by
the government, had already passed in the Buddhist bag, but it could have
been derailed by Buddhist rat which is made up of delegates from germany sixteen governments,
but it did not, so obviously it passed. So there is still
Obviously you still have people that don't want it legal in Europe. But this
is huge because Germany is a big state. I thought they were able to
have home cultivation. Yeah right here, I'd also be able to allow to
sort the fifty grams at home, but also keep three plants for home cultivation.
It's not a lot, but I'm all for it started somewhere. I
stay this is on it. As long as you're able to grow, that's
all it matters. At what point are the they going to come in in?
Well, I mean, so all, what does this new law allow.
Let me tell you, so adults age eighteen over, we're allowed to
carry up to twenty five grams. Like you said, public consumption will be
allowed as long as we now within sights of children and near sports Philly.
That's pretty cool, right, yeah, obviously, which you know oh,
and also we'll be prohibited pedestrian zone. So they're basically you know, at
night's fine, early whatever, you know, And that's kind of cool.
That's pretty cool, man. We don't even have that adults be a lot
of fifty stores at home, which what you said. And then this one,
I don't know if we talked about. This was the one. I
don't think special cannabis clubs will be allowed to grow and purchase drug Let me
bias in July. First, Well, have up to five, can have
the five members? You said that, No, that's okay. I was
gonna say, I just want to make sure I was otherwise I just read
the dam so I gotta ask. No. I think that's huge because you're
you're scene and obviously permitted for kids and minors. Liked. I like what
you said about public consumption. I think that's cool, dude. Like that's
better than well, what it's basically saying is like in sert, if it's
not a busy area, whenever, it's fine. If it's a busy area,
not during public times, during party times, all right, Like even
after seven is still saying some of the clubs you could just blow a joint,
which is like all right, like that's how it should be. Like
I get it, I want to get it. But listen, if Detroit
was like can't smoke weed until after seven pm? Pretty sweet? You know
what I'm saying, We're in Detroit, just that's how they're doing it.
In Germany, the country sold that Detroit is way smaller than the country of
Germany golfacts. Do you know what I'm saying. It's not that not that
be give an ask, but I just think that's I'm just trying to look
at our perspective or from our you know, I think it's Sweet's another state
in Europe on legal Like once Europe starts going legal and you have more and
more countries, like you know, US is just gonna be like all right,
we're going legal fully, Well that then you know what that means.
You can travel to Europe. Maybe we'll find Bud which is awesome. Well
I mean so not to be Captain Buzzkill over here, but you know,
all great on Germany and stuff. But just to bring up on it,
you're talking about Europe going legal, that would be awesome and stuff, but
like let's just say like here Ireland over here, Ireland just actually had a
vote, and I actually missed this article, so this was or maybe I
did talk about this but I couldn't remember, so I want to re talk
about this. But it happened like six weeks ago. Five weeks ago they
were supposed to vote on it, I guess. But this that January thirtieth,
this article came out, so it's like six weeks old. But I
want to bring it up because you know, meanwhile in Ireland their government's delaying
nine months on the vote. So but at least they're talking about it,
which is better than not fair enough. Fair enough, man, I don't
see it fair enough news because they could be going legal in twenty twenty five.
Yeah, okay, fair enough, and that's a full country. The
other full country. I guess. I was just saying that it's not like
that in every country. But he's because he's going to be in Ireland here
soon. And if they were did January thirties, maybe he might have had
a shot of getting but a lot easier. Why he's out there allegedly,
I would have been able to smoke weed at like illegally. You imagine if
I could have gone to an Irish dispo, I would have been ship man.
I don't think they had it. I don't think they would have had
a dispo that ar right, But he's like like they'd thinking. He's thinking
they're going to start a whole industry in six weeks, we'll look at your
well, hold on, look how and then now refer back to Germany,
they're they're they're doing pretty good starting off, like, but they got to
get licensed to grow the pot where they gonna do, right, it's gonna
come from the listener legally. You know, the bud bud doesn't grow in
two days from seed. Yeah, I need to have a legal Where does
wee go? Yeah, it's like New York. It's like New York.
They got like all that Cali ship like straight Calie. Now they're pushing it
out, but like it's been a moment where everything literally hit the Cali label.
That's funny, and honestly, I I just had one more like kind
of like fun fact. I don't know, this isn't really a news update.
I guess I did tenderly call it a news update, but I'm not
going to call this a news update. I think it's just a fun fact.
Weren't called fun fact? Fun fact of the day. Fun facts.
What's that what we're gonna call this? Fun fun weed facts? I say
we jump in the review and then end on that fun fact. Well,
all right, fine, all right, that's fine. I like it.
Let's bump the review though, Let's go because that is the last article in
the way. I hope Europe continues going in the distrection because I'm curious where
Italy is because I know what country legalized wreck out there recently, Ukraine.
Did you know that they're medical? Switzerland? Maybe it's Germany. I've been
thinking of this whole time, and now they officially went legal, so I'm
not too sure, but I know there's progress being country. I believe Poland
just went medical as well too. I'm that mistake. Maybe that's what we're
because I know it is very ship when I was there, and now it's
not. So any of them back in progress, so I love seeing that.
But yeah, let's jump into the next review we got. The next
review we got groovy is Black Truffle, North Coast Cold cre Tier three,
Tier three, and it looks like it's Adams something. It's more, it's
more other, it's more of their lower tiers family farms maybe because I can't
read the bottom of it, but it tells you. It tells you who
the flowers by, which I like that. And on top of it gives
you total cannabinoids and total turpenes. So beta carry off lane is your top,
then human linked and lemonine. I like a lot of it. I
wish they just told me the strain lineage on it. I don't know if
you want to take a look at that, but I wish they just said
the strain lineage. I think they hit a couple of things on there.
Yeah, you know, especially coming away for you, it's interesting about doing
a review this way is now we kind of you compare it to a different
thing, right, coming out of something with not a lot of info.
It's nice to see having all the terpenes listed total lists or the top three
terpenes named listed. Did you read those already? Yep? Okay cool.
I was kind of like switching, Uh, yeah, you're totally cool,
and then uh, tell you all the canbinoids and did you go to the
qrco car coaches doesn't go to it, It doesn't go anything. I was
just like more curious or anything, because you know, I always gotta check
it out. It looks like just a random number. It's just the metric
tag. Okay, well still, but the cool thing about North Coast bar
give it. But I know what's about to give this packaging a bumpy.
I was about to say the same thing. Yeah, say anything that this
fucking packet in the center. Like, I know we've talked about this,
and you know what's funny is, I don't know if we ever did a
review on it, because we like went and did some like streaming stuff and
for their event got hooked up, so we didn't feel right to review it
because it got free. We didn't know what price were, we didn't how
to review it. So yeah, exactly, but this ship is gangster.
I love it. Yeah. Yeah, it's just it's very convenient store in
the fridge or core and then it's forget. I can't remember the specs on
it, like how much it keeps it but you keep in this little you
know, it's basically for hours. Actually, you know what, It'll be
easier if we pull up though, So, like, I really like their
packaging. I'll be honest with you, I'm just gonna pull up the white
camp. Look at this. Yeah, like's dope. Yeah, so the
inside is essentially like a It's just so clever. I love that idea.
So what do you give it on packaging? And then I'll let you pop
that open for smell. The only thing I like, the lineage was there,
it would probably be that perfect. Plus it's like almost how Huna had
that like tool, It's like they have the ice bag. It's like it
would almost be perfect. It's just that lineage. Other than that, like
you know, like what else is it missing? Flavor symbols if we want
to get picked? Yeah, but like if you if you have the turpy,
it's like Google, like you already got the turpe, Like whatever,
we're getting picky, we're getting picked. I'm getting well I look at that.
That's more like how like Element has those and that's like the bonus thing
that Element has that makes them their thing. This is a really cool thing
North Coast, and I think that like makes a pacting really unique. So
like nine and a half Man, it's like almost there. I want to
give it like very like wow, like perfect, but it's not quite perfect
because it just doesn't have the lineage, and you always talk about it,
so I can't ignore it. I want to know it does. Wow,
that is a wet look. It does have the brand that grew it though,
and that's what I like. So it hits you everywhere. Yeah,
this pops a little bit more too. Yeah, last one, but man,
that looks wet. It doesn't look dry at all. Oh and it's
not like wet enough to be sappy either. It's wet like it looks wet.
I like that. Look, we'll take a little so you can.
Oh actually, you know, so you can give me your skulls on the
consistency and roma, you know what. I forgot to do this on the
last one. I forgot to pull up though, can can smacking stuff?
Yeah, alright, stand by, let me find the full full screen.
Uh well here, I'll just do the here's a three shot for a second.
Where's the wi screen stuff. I'll get it now right there, sun
and shine boom. So that's how that looks. Yeah, we meant to
get a I mean, I forgot to get a shot the last review.
But I'm trying, guys. So yeah, that's that's therue. That's the
product right there, the black truffle. That's the dabs rosin right there.
Looks good, dude, good product. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
it looks solid, smells nice. Let's see, I gotta find dab
too, all right, do smell like truffle? Yeah, I mean truffle
is definitely dominant, but there's something else in there. It's almost like a
spice. To me, I almost imagine like a spicy truffle. That's what
I'm getting. I like it so aroma, dude. I mean I gotta
give it like a thirteen and a half for thirteen and a half at least
almost kissing fourteen because I really enjoy it. I do think I've had some
shit that was like very loud that hits it up there. So I think
thirteen half is fair but very good. Yeah. I liked it. It's
nice. I think the I think I'm giving it because I like the smell.
You know, I enjoyed. It's pretty decent. Yeah, man,
yeah, it's definitely thirteen thirteen and a half. I can't say it's not.
It's good stuff. Yeah, I'm a did you take some sorry,
yes, I handed it out. Oh. I was like, I was
like I didn't know what to do. I was like, do I take
another dab? I mean I could just set up another one. Yeah,
you should you should. I got to do consistency because since this s he's
nice, uh, it's it's still got that like wet look to it.
I like, very easy to take off the dab Dave's playing with it with
his fingers, so clearly it's not bad. It's a little might be you
might get little on your finger because see, maybe that's why it's tier three,
right, you know there's other reasons not losing much though, really so
consistent, I give it, I mean, dude, for to have like
a good smell on it. I mean sure it may not be like I
open the air, wow, but like you can smell it good right from
the container. And then to have that good of consistency, like I'm pretty
impressive for tier three. I mean I smelled off love how you're ranking your
stuff North Coast keeping it tight, my dog, so consistent. I give
about eight and eight and a half because it's got the turb shine. It's
with you. You could almost roll perfect don't without losing any of it,
but you still lose a little bit. So but it's not too dry where
it'll break apart. Like that's not dry at all. That's this guy shine
shine. Yeah, all right, I get. I think what's really crazy
too, is just like how much that smell pop for Tier three? When
you said that, like I was really yeah yeah, I was like how
you're ranking your stuff because sometimes people will rank it higher, heart a little
harder. Yeah, yeah, I know, I was. I'm impressed so
far, like the aroma consistly wasn't bad. I'm excited to jump into the
flavor because because like we could say, it is tier three, and we've
been I've been starting to know as brains are having your tier ones, your
Tier twos, and your tier threes, and it's usually when they do that
is because based off of variety of factor is the first wash, based on
micron bags, based off of press one, press two, like all these
factors play into it. And this is Tier three, and you know it's
looking pretty good. So I'm curious how why he makes it. I we
got to talk to Travis North Coast. Oh. The thing is, like
I always wonder if it has a mixture, because they make great donuts too.
So my big thing is I always wonder if it's like, you know,
it cann't make good donut, you know, and then which one can
he use for donut? Which one's going to sell the top tier which one
can he sell? You know? So I think it's almost maybe it depends
on every crop. No, and that makes sense. I don't think it's
like a flat ranking. I think it's almost like, well, this one's
really tasty and makes great donuts, so that's the top tier ship where this
is like good for donuts and pretty tasty. So let's do that in the
donuts. This ship is too sappy for donuts. It's all right, let's
throw it on the shelf, like you know. I mean, I'm sure
it's like a ranking system. I don't know though, right So I'm curious
though, see what we think, h dude has that trouble taste like yeah,
with a little spice on there, man, Yeah, that's I think
that's my favorite thing about it, Dave, is when it smells and tasts
like right, there no complaints. And I think when I say a spice,
I mean it's a it's a spice. It's not just truffle. There's
some mouse in there. It's like a black peppered truffle. I think it's
crossed a lot of thirty three. Okay, I don't know. I just
get almost like a peppered taste. I can see that, bro. No,
no, but not in a bad way. I used to think peppered
wasn't always good. That was unique. Oh it leaves your mouth watering a
little bit. It was for two or three ship Yeah, in facts and
Hi, how you feel more? Body was same cool days like cool.
I'm trying to take a nape like a cannon nap after this body is just
crashing right now. Yeah no, no, definitely more in the body than
the head, for sure. This would be more like after work later in
the evening flavor lingers. Though, Oh my mouth still watered. I know
I can still taste the flavor. Yeah, I saw say when I when
I put on my fingers, I can still smell it and I don't have
any left on my fingers like a flavor man, scar, so i'd say
I was like nah, man, no, but for real taisty stuff man.
And I honestly I kind of like it. Usually I like a little
bit more of a head, but it's like right there, I want it,
Yeah, like I want to go watch a movie right now and cuddle
them up best. That's kind of what I won't do, right, So
what do you give it. I'm like, I was like this, we're
still in the review though, I know I'm gonna give it a thirteen because
like I'm dude, I'm me too, man, I mean I'm impressed too,
so I'm right there with you. Strength. You know, I probably
could take another dab, so we probably could give it like a twelve three.
And maybe that's why he's saying it wasn't like top ten, you know
it not gidding, but like, at the same time, I think the
flavor is so good. That's what. Like. I still think it's strong.
You're so strong flavor because the end it's putting me down. I gave
it an eight, like I couldn't go anything lower than that thing. Strength.
Yeah, I feel you on that right. How you gonna say it's
like average because it's still a hits So yeah, yeah, I got you.
I'm right there with you. Man. I wasn't saying anything. I'm
just saying maybe the top tier ship was like the smack a row or something.
I don't know, so jumping in the value, man, this I
don't know, this is this is I was. I was kind of shocked
when I heard the price on it. I was like, what really it's
funny talking to our buddy about this before tier three thirty bucks all day,
no deal. Yeah, I mean, I mean, dude, it's better
deal than the last stuff. And I think, honestly, like I mean
you, honestly, thirty dollars is actually lower than you start seeing. You
start getting closer to that like bulk rosin deals. Yeah, and this is
like bulk ros and stuff you see twenty to forty depending on what quality.
Right, So it's like and that's still the good news too. It's like
and you have the packaging, you have the ice pack, like thirty,
Like that's a deal, man, it's not bad. I gotta give it
eighty above value. No, No, I think it's a little above where
she just saw. I'm you know what I mean, Like I think you
could have got forty, Like you know what I mean, So like you're
like second tier. So like dude, I'm like, yeah, man,
I'm there with a nine up on this for sure. Yeah that makes sense.
I feel on that because it is above where I think it should be.
Right, Yeah, this is this This could be forty forty five dollars,
which caused it to be forty five dollars product that March. Could I've
seen this comparable too? So I was like, damn tears three thirty one.
Still taste it, I can still taste it, all right, recommend
to repurchase? Yeah, yes, yes this strain, Yes, this brand,
Yes for thirty yes yeah this Uh, this strain hit for me to
So yeah, they had a decent amount. When I went to the shop
and I was like, you know what, I had my dude open like
three or four of them for no way, I know, I know.
Yeah, yeah he did a lot. He did a lot from me.
Anyways. No, I was a good no, you got your last article
on your drink. Oh you know. Yeah, this is just a real
quick fun fact. This is just a fun fun fact Wednesday. But can't
affect. I don't know, uh, can't affect. And I'm probably gonna
ruin some of these names, so please don't be like, hey, you
said it like a moron, because I have a moron. I know.
So it says thunde th h A N d A I A the whole the
ancient cannabis drink for celebrating holy h O l I, which could be pronounced
it friendly. Just bear with me. Oh, so they they said through
many series. It's celebrated with this drink March twenty fifth, which is the
Festival of Colors. They call it Holy h O l I. The Festival
Colors is like you know, as we know it, right, and they
do and they throw powders like I've seen videos and I've seen things of it,
right, but they have They called it this cannabis drink, which the
more you read it doesn't seem like it's always doesn't always have the part of
cannabis in it, but does seem sometimes. So this drink in it sometimes
has this avocado green like paste that is made up of the female cannabis sativa
plane leaves, and they kind of it sounds like they almost like make a
paste out of it, which you know, kind of like how they make
hash like kachaos. I don't know if it activates, I don't know.
But they've added to that drink. This paste is called again bang bang b
h a g bang bahang maybe bhang, you know, and they add that
to this milky coconut drink that we did. I just said earlier called where
does this take place? Like thundee in India? So that's why I said
this was technically with the world stuff. But it's kind of a funer.
I just think it's kind of fun that this this this ancient drink they've often
been putting cannabis, so you wonder how long have they been putting cannabis in
it? So it's fascinating, right, just kind of you know, to
add that little effect to it. Like, I don't know how sad of
it is. We don't know how it is. I just think it's fascinating
to add the cannabis to it. No, I think that's sweet. I
should ask my sisters went out the indie x or one of our best friends
is there. I should ask about that drink next time I see her.
You know. Yeah, I was gonna say her name, but I was
like, nah, I'm not going to throw someone's name out there. Yeah,
but but I know that's really cool, just because I'm curious. Now,
we always talk about how old cannabis, how long cannabis is around for
How old is cannabis? Right, how old is it it's been around,
and if it's been in this drink, like how long has this been around?
