Yo, Happy Halloween, everybody. It's my candle cast aka Luigi and Mario
a little festive out this evening. Look at that mustache. Man, it's
pretty looking good and I grew it in overnight. I like it. I
like it. So we talked to do the reviews. So maybe my natural
quick, but I can't. It's our Halloween episode. So hopefully everyone had
a good Halloween. Or go trick or treating and do whatever you do.
And or maybe you went out and dressed up for Halloween. Actually we both
did that this past weekend and we hit up a cannabis venor or two we
talked about in the Waking Bake. So if you miss that, tune in
every Saturday at nine am Eastern and you can catch us live talking about all
things within the industry, and you can join the community and be a part
of it. It's a fun time. But today we're gonna be starting off
with the review, actually kicking off with another donut review, which I'm pretty
stoked about because Groovy picked this up. I know you guys are surprised.
You're like, you guys like donuts, no idea. I know we should
have been a homer Sipson for this, but yeah, no, right right,
but we're gonna review an Uplifted donut. We're gonna be talking about spooky,
scary things within the cannabis industry and then spooky strains that go with Halloween.
I don't know how you how you guys actually have giant mustaches, Like
this is so annoying. I'm like, oh no, no, so well,
yeah, I gotta take off this mustache. I can't dang, look
at you. You shaved real quick, man. It's good. It's me
five. You's a baby Mario. I don't know. If you're listening to
this without looking at the video, you're like, what the fuck is going
on? It's about point grow because if you are listening this, you're not
watching the video. Go to our YouTube channel, search my can cass and
hit that subscribe on. Yeah, we greatly appreciate that. But let's kick
it off here with this donut. Yeah. I'm excited to do this reviewer
though. It's actually a company you probably heard of if you checked in interviews
or checked out. If you're in the mir it's called Uplift. It put
it back in so for some reason it's covered up. Groo is pbably on
the bottom of the screen. It's great gas with a spritzer live ros and
so I think the spritzer maybe is the live ros and goes with it.
Right after it It's a two and a half gram donut. So I'm loving
this because well I'm figuring it's about a half grammar rosin, two grams of
uh donut, don't two grams of donut, two grams of flour. The
funny thing is, Oh, the funny thing is You're starting to see a
lot of these hit markets. So I'm super excited. UH packaging. It's
got THHD, it's got the strain. It looks like the rosin goes with
the that. I mean, I ways there was some linea Johnny or some
turpena. Yeah, there's not a lot of info. It just had THC
A TC and CBD. Man, it says forty five do you read it?
Or no, forty fifteen point one five CBD. It was tested eight
thirty nine point eight sixty six on just TC and then uplifted Canna casco.
But that was all the information I saw on the packaging, and I mean,
I do like that. The the pre roll container is a little bit
bigger, so I can give him like a seven. Just had a little
love on that just because that's kind of nice, you know, But I
feel that all right, let's like this, let's like this uh yeah,
yeah, yeah shit, oh shit, he says, he's exciting. I
mean, donuts are fun to smoke because like, if you like dabs or
you like flower, it's like the best of both worlds. It's literally what
I tell everybody. I was like, why do you like donut so much?
I'm like, I don't know. It's literally freaking rot and weed in
one. You're like what, You're like, what? Well? I mean
if you got good bud and you're smoking good bud and you got good rosin,
It's just like, I don't know, it's just something to it to
me. But I'm also like a huge weed head. I didn't know you
like weed. Your name is literally candidate Like, I'm a huge weed Heeadyeah,
no shit, I only like it a little bit, you know what
I'm saying, Like not too much, but just a little bit. Trying
to burn this perfect So yeah, hey, I mean, hey man,
he is what did he is? All right? So we're launching it off
with it looks it looks a good size. I mean I like that this
ratio. I do. I was actually having a discussion. Do you ever
think that this is like might be a little too much though sometimes for just
like two people, Like if two people are trying to get lit like perfect,
but if you're just trying to like get a little higher like smoke.
You can't smoke this in the morning, you know what I'm saying. I
was having this conversation they like sometimes these donuts are nice for like social donuts,
like three or four people, you know, I mean, everyone gets
real lid. It's kind of fun. I like the two person because it
means you get more of the un selfishly thinking no, no, I agree
with you. Usually these these are more of a you're not gonna be smoking
this by yourself. I mean I would try it. I mean I did
the Holy Canola. You know, it's pretty good. You just get super
lit. But it's not like every day yet, And I couldn't smoke this
before work because I'd be koh, I'd knocked out. Well in some donuts.
I mean, we haven't smoked this donuts particularly yet, but yeah,
I just was curious. I like the size because I'll be honest, I
love like when I'm rolling up at home and it's like my personal one.
It's just like a gram like point three, you know, or point twenty
five, you know, for my personal because like this by myself getting crazy.
You were smoking on these two? You don't? Yeah, damn yeah,
the holy That's what I was saying. So would you give it on
the taste? I haven't given it much packaging. I gave it seven and
a half. It taste is pretty nice. So it says grape gas crossed
with spritzer. I actually thought it was grape gas and then spritzerr flower but
sweeter flower. So I'm like wondering if it's spritzer flower no gas pretty good
though, I don't mind the flower. Flower is tasting pretty good. I
was curious to your opinion on it. I was shocked a little bit because
I was like, is that rosen already? Like wait a second, No,
that's how it tastes on the first. It's kind of like if anything
it's sweeter grape gas or it's spritzer, it reminds. It reminded me.
It rominds becomes Luigi and now he's ill. No, it reminds me though,
kind of how how the not comparing the two at all, but how
the seven to ten doint took off that flower tasted phenomenon on that door.
Yeah, we talk about all the time, man, with these donuts.
Man, Like a lot of times, I feel like in the beginning of
infused pre rolls, people were like just like throwing like shake and then just
throwing a bunch of wax on it some keif to cut the flavor because it
always tasted hashy with the keith. But with these ras ain't like donuts.
You actually can get full flavored stuff. You know, it's not just covering
it up without a flavoring right to get high. Because I mean everyone used
to just shove keif on stuff or shove shatter on stuff to get extra stone,
right, but now that it's like the flavors in there, it's like,
waw, forget about it. It's to me, it's on me,
forget about it. Yeah, ye that's right. And actually I learned about
smoking donuts shut out and my dope life shout out telling White lives of Black
cats. I think we were smoking at that uh that event that was telling
you about and like really not puffing at artists fucks. So you don't get
the cherry really hot, and I'm like, oh shit, sometimes I just
love the flavors. I'm just ripping the bitch and I'm like, oh fuck
it, right, And they were like calming it down, like letting it
smoke out and cool off and stuff like, oh okay, no shit,
I like it. Experts in the donut field, That's what I'm talking about.
Well, it's like your preferred flavor over every hit of smoke. You
might lose some smoke, would you get better flavor? That's valeybo, especially
when you're paying that much for it. I mean, you do want to
get pat flavor, like you said you don't. I don't like smoke.
If if I'm paying for a donut like a two and a half grammar,
I want it to be flavorful, right, I don't want it to be
well And I just never really thought about it. Makes sense though, because
when I've been lightly hitting it tastes better, pretty good, tasting sweeter,
definitely on that sweeter side. Candy flavor out of fifteen, right, damn
dude, I actually like it. I'm kind of doing well I'm doing when
I know I really like something, is you do that slight salivating thing,
right, you hear that. I hear that on you. I know it's
super annoying. I'm sorry, I'm just like in your ear, like I
know you like people probably don't like that. Sorry about that, or you
do like it. I don't know, rewind it and then you just got
me all in your ear. Someone over there is just rewinding it. Oh
yeah, oh yeah, kidding Jesus, But no, it was really tasty,
man. I So I can't really get under a thirteen. I would
say. The only reason why I'll give you like a thirteen thirteen and a
half is not a fourteen and higher, Like really it is because I'm more
into the gassy stuff like skunky cheese, like I love that. Shit just
hits me hard. But this has a really sweet, flavorful taste, so
I'm like ripping it, you know, I'm nice and I'm getting that like
I want to rip it again taste. So I'm enjoying it. What about
you? I'm thinking it's pretty good too. I think I'm hitting it right
at thirteen, just like you are. You're thirteen a half thirteen, like
right around there, because like the flower honestly is hitting straight from the beginning.
And that's nice to see, especially when you're buying some product on the
mark soon as you're seeing pre rolls and the flower doesn't hit from the beginning.
It actually happened to me recently as a smaller infused, don't it,
And the flower tastes like trim to me, so like didn't even get to
the rosin because the flower I literally irritated my throat. And that's what I
was trying to say, is like that really you could really tell the difference
in these because alls it is is just a flavor in the center. So
if your flower is not good, like we people can tell, it's not
like you're well, no, I'm saying, like, just confuse ones.
You can hide your flower, not this, Yeah no, because if you're
doing the doughnut, the beginnings all flow flower flower. Yeah, if you
roll it properly, that's how it should be. Correct. So I actually
might give it almost like thirteen point seven, like if flower is not bad,
and like the Rozins just gave it thirty bad. I'm the worries.
Why I didn't give it higher is because of it's not my preferred taste,
but it's fire like it tastes based on my it's not my This isn't my
preferred sweet. Really, I thought you did, like this is right up
the Runs flavor. To me, this is like dead ass like Run.
So I'm surprised I do like it. I don't know if it's straight to
me, it's not tasting like Runs. I like it, but I do
you. I'll give it a three point because it's very flavorful. The what
the reason why I'm giving it such a hype like thing. I'm like,
let me know if you guys all agree with this out there and the digital
world. But like when I'm hitting, it's like donuts the key to being
like a okay donut just getting me high and being like a great doughnut where
it's flavorful like that, it's complimentary tears terms no complimentary. I'm saying the
flower and like have that grave gas and this splitzer goes while together. I
think that's why it's standing out to be such a good donut death, just
like the other ones we've had to stand out. Yeah, I would agree
with you on that. I mean, because dude, you take some gasy
ship and you throw something sweet in the center, sure it's gonna get you
high. And you're gonna like like it, but that middle part is gonna
be like, that's an interesting flavor, but you're gonna like get high still,
so you'll still get high. It's just to me, when I'm smoking
shit like this, I really get more mellow when I like the taste.
So it's good. Oh I would have left, man, just let it
naturally fall. But that was good enough. That was pretty long. I
barely I barely tapped. Yeah, it was about the fall anyways. Yeah,
so no, good, good ship, Like I dig it. What's
the next one? Ash? The ash has been pretty good so far.
Yeah, yeah, it seems mediocre, like there's nothing really crazy. I
would say, it's not like dark or black. It's not like really clear,
and honestly it's like fine. Yeah, I'd probably give it right around
teen twelve, twelve and a half thirteen on it. Yeah, it's I
mean, it's right where. Yeah, okay, I'll give it a little
bit higher because of the drip. I'm with you twelve whenever we go in
the middle and they're still flare for right now, we're in the middle right
now. Yeah, it's literally it's hard to give it, like kind of
the middle should be your favorite man. Well, I mean if you look
at this the middle of a donut, you should have ros and flower right
on my head? Yeah? Is it in? Yeah? I mean sort
of. You don't. You don't really see it like that, Dave.
It doesn't focus that quick or I'm sorry, Luigi. Yeah, I'm really
surprised they were allowed to put the M and the L on for like branding
reasons. Why because mine wasn't sold. Remember they weren't like Mario and Luigi
costumes. It's like mushrooms brothers. Maybe that's why they're off to the center.
They have to do something. Maybe it's just the graphic, like the
text. It's me it's a mean audio. Yeah, I mean guess we
could jump in a price and then go back to high in a fact in
the middle and end right. You're the one that picked this up. Well
yeah, I mean again for the middle, it's very flavorful in the right.
Yeah, it's got a good done middles out of ten, so you
can give that half g what would you say you can give middle if you
want to score it's out of ten, ain't a half nine? Ye?
I really like it. The price it was fifty. They had a sale
going two for ninety, so like forty five each if you bought two.
But I just bought the one because for saving five bucks to me, that's
not that much of a deal where it entices me unless it's like five dollars
off of ten, you know what I mean. I'm like what I mean,
if they were like fifteen dollars off, I'd be like, okay,
because then it's like literally paying for your tax and whatnot. Oh yeah,
if they were like fifteen dollars fifty dollars for this for the peral two and
a half with the half grim Horaza, okay, yeah, so with tax
adunl't use your and then like if you leave tip, you're talking almost sixty
bucks out the door, which puts it in line with a lot of them
out there on the market. Fifty. Yeah. I've been seeing them for
a little bit lower and a little bit higher. So I's thinking, like
price wise, it's in the middle, but like flavor wise, it's pretty
good. So I don't think it's undervalued. Yeah no, because I mean
think I'm pretty sure it's or over whatever. I think it's like round the
same as Holy can only sneak's goods. I covered it. Yeah, no,
I'd probably give it an eight. I mean that's it's not bad for
the price on it. I mean, obviously you want it, you would
love to get it cheaper, but like I haven't for a lot of the
good, flavorful donuts, I've paid a little bit more than I have on
something smaller, and you are getting the two grams and the half gram of
rizons. I guess it's like, like I said, it's not like overvalue.
Like it's not like I'm like, well, that's rip off. You
know, I think it's fine. I don't think it's necessarily like wow,
what an amazing price, but you know, on floor. But I also
don't think like, wow, that's rip off. I think it's like,
you know, you pay for good ship, sometimes you get good ship.
That's pretty good man. In a lot of donuts, doesn't matter where where
you get them are usually priced around this price. Yeah, you know,
forty to sixty bucks. If you get the smaller donuts like the one gram
and then the point two fives, you can usually find them for like twenty
five bucks. To me, man, I'm to be honest, I'm not
a fan of like the soup, the smaller ones. I'd prefer the bigger
ones. I feel like the small she said, I, but now you're
good. I was waiting. Oh, I wasn't gonna do it if you
started talking. I was just feeling to know it. It was like,
I'll give two thanks. No, I just prefer them better. I guess
I lost my trade thoughts. I like bigger donuts. Yeah, man,
slower, I don't know. Is that just me? I feel like they
burns slower than the smart one. I don't know, man, I think
I don't want to get too much in this. We can talk about this
is after, but like I really think that it just depends on how you
roll it, right, Like these are fat and why so I think that's
why you like these with half grams, Like when you get the gram A
lot of times they're like one gram and they're short and stubby, so it's
a quick smoke. I think you like long smoke. So I think if
you had a gram and a skinnier one, I don't think you mind it
smoke. A Graham went to like point two five to your dome. I
do, okay, we do man, no to your dome, buy yourself.
Yeah, he's like every day anyway. I don't know where we're talking
about. It's just it's good. It's flavorful. Yeah, what's the next
category? And heine effect, that's what I want to talk about. I
feel pretty smooth, man. I feel a little like, uh, not
necessarily what's it called, not loopy goosey goosey, No, but like I'm
almost like starting one thought and finishing another and like whoa, so a little
like over the plate, a little scattered, a little scattered, but in
a in a giggly way. Yeah, that's what I mean. And it's
more like a giggly silly high, which I like. That's nice. It's
good to have that. You know, you don't get the dad often.
That's kind of like certain strains that give me the giggles because it takes me
back to like when you first start smoking for me personally, like and that
makes me laugh. Yeah, it's very good. I'm just like cutting them
off with Mario. You should have had to do that for the rest of
them. You should have said, you know, I should have had some
like fireballs or something. Oh yeah, well Emily, or oh yeah,
my girl had a sorry Jesus, I had some stuff. And I was
thinking she will. She had some ideas and we should have done like things
like with Mario Kart, we could have had like a shell and like bananas
next year, next the whole squad of it. We get DK in this
bit. Oh dude, actually yo, get towed. We need the mushrooms
out. Oh yeah, just tripping the whole time. So what are you
doing? Why stop eating yourself because it's cool hide effect, So yeah,
what would you get? We're doing a reviews is into the episode. It's
not the pe see, like, what are we doing? It's just cheaping
it over there. Dude, I'm so high I barely even hit it.
Hit it like ones, I'm just like looking at it. No, it's
good man, And like I think that's why I like that upper hideks.
Like you said, it makes you feel like you're getting higher than you are,
because like I don't necessarily smoke a lot of head buzs stuff either.
So it's nice. I like it. But I'm also got that little body
bus too, so there's not for sure. I got some like my body's
like what was that of again? Fifteen or ten? Yeah, yeah,
I'm gonna definitely go like thirteen thirteen and a half it's it's good man.
I really don't have a lot of complaints about flowers been solid, Rosin's been
solid, the turps go together. Prices like you know right there, what
do you expect for high grade? Don't? Would you? Would you recommend
repurchase this? No? Yeah, oh yeah for me, I'm like waiting
for when they're like we got you know, like lemon Skunk with fucking GMO,
Like, oh my god, two for ninety what you so funny?
We rolled back that tape because he's gonna call me one day. He's like,
hey, yo, perspective man, Life's all about perspective. Let me
tell you. I'm always this life. He's good, he can get you.
I'm bringing down kidding. Yeah, I would definitely recommend to repurchase this
as well too. Yeah that was good man. I really that was a
nice pick up at the shot by you. And it's funny because we still
have some rods that laught like we're not even like dud We're like yeah,
pass the end, like we're not even I mean kind of like kind of
shocking. What I mean you said this one does this one? And I
think you're right because when they're longer and fatter, obviously it's gonna burn slower,
but also exponentially because it's because once they're like as an eighth is burning
slower, so it's longer fast, give me so much higher. They take
me another level. It's like the one we did last week, that one,
like I was pretty lit after that, like I was like passed out,
I think for us. Yeah, I told the Fear of Booth dude,
that was. That was some fire. That was. I forgot whatever
the crosses were on that right now I'm blinking. But yeah, anyways,
Yeah, I think that's all the categories that passed and it's ending it passed.
Yeah, that was. I just don't want this review to keep going
because it's like, I mean, we know what passed. What we're gonna
keep saying, Yeah, it's good. Let's jump into the spooky scary things
within cannabis. And first, before we get into that, let's give a
shout out to our partners Emerald Fire and my Loud Flower and Old Score Organics.

I like bowsers. There's so many good references there, got you man,
that's one here. God, we should have did some funny content with
these where where was this? Come on, we've been been. It's been
life's busy, man, we've been last last, We'll get to do it
now. We were out. I was out at the Canabi event and I
was rocking the Luigi costume. So well, No, there was four events
this past weekend, not including personal events. Oh my gosh. Yeah,
and then we hit and missed one of my personal events because I was so
tired, and then she got so tired. Like life happens, man,
life happens. But we were pretty busy. We on the wake BA checked
that out. All the events we went to, like Groovey said, what
was there? So there was playing for the NINS Grand Openings. When I
went to you went to Gems and Genetics and Cannababe Jemson. Genetics was like
a caregiver speeches and competition and whatever, just kind of like booth set up
for and then there was Cannababe. It was just more like your social event.
They always do cool social pretty much. They had had a couple of
DJs, a couple of people are twisting whatever the sticks on the fire eye,
I forgot what it's called, and then Playing fifty nine reopened. So
they were already opened as medical, and then they like soft opened for rec
and then they now they're officially allowed to do fully wreck. So if you're
water for a paniac era like up by me, it's right there. And
they pretty much had like vent every vendor. I don't know all of them,
because I feel like throughout the day I stopped a couple of times just
because they were right there and I want to check it out. And my
god, man every vendor. I actually got some good deals on Rosen four
for a hundred. Can't beat it, No, you can. So it
was cool. And then oh then I also went to this really kick ass
event, which I love and I want to shout them out with fatties.
Shout out of Austin. That's the homie for hooking it up. Thank you,
Austin. Appreciate that. I'll be at the next one, so I
appreciate it. Yeah, man, that was so fun. It looked like
a good time. It was really chill, I should say at first,
like you know, just everyone getting the vibe trying to figure out because like
I thought you could skate and like are you skating? But then you could
skate, but like you got to be pretty good and comfortable because like there
was like fingerboard stuff like set up in the middle of the skate park.
And I was a skate park kid, dude, like in middle school and
element like when I started, like I started skating with four or five six
years seven years old, right, so like I was skating on rams bike
seven you know, so I like love the skate park. I spent so
much time my skating. So for me, it's like all nostalgic. I
was look sick and then you walk in you get a shirt, you know,
in a joint right off rip, like cool shirt too, not just
like you know, you know, here's our brand. It was like,
yeah, the brand, it's pretty cool. Yeah I gave you that's right.
Oh no, no, that's a different shirt. Oh that's from someone
else. That's how many cushmashes. But no. But what was cool to
me is that they had a little thing going on the beginning, especially because
I was alone. I had so much fucking fun. Dude, you're you
played old Tony Hawk. Oh yeah, so oh yeah. They had the
old skate tapes and they scat up tapes around nice. Yeah. I eventually
did find one, which is thankful, like ice to walk through the whole
place, and then I was like, a fucking I'm going outside. I
found one, but I got it. I got a hoodie says TC on
it. And it was pretty sweet. No. I had a like good
time just because the fun of that, just the game, and I was
like, man, that was a lot of fun. Man. If you
would have done like different things like that the whole night, man, you
would have had me for four hours just around that bitch, Like if you'd
been like, okay, now look for the tech decks with the with the
pink marking on the bottom. And I think, like because for me,
like when you're not at those events to get high with homies and like ship
like I had fun, like especially because for me, I was like,
all right, man, I got four hours and I didn't I guess I
didn't. I didn't know anyone at the moments, you know. I knew
Austin, but he was working, so but it was super fun. Anyways,
So a lot of fun events last weekend. Yeah, man, it
was. It was a great time. Let's jump into some Do you want
to jump into scary things within going on within cannabis or do you want to
jump into the strains that pair with Halloween spooky. I was gonna do the
strain names because this is a little it's a little lighter at the thing,
and I think, honestly, it's a little silly, you know what I
mean? You want it? Oh yeah, I guess, I don't know.
I mean I feel like there's still something there, man, just spooky
strains. This would be cool. Yeah, yeah, I mean you can
already think of some right off the top of your head though, like that,
like because like like I I looked at this and a lot of them
are just like spooky named, like Jack the Ripper, Like okay, okay,
uh, that is a good one. Freak Show because freak shows a
mutation, mutation plan, a mutant, it's mutation. So Freak Show is
a perfect you said it. So Freak Show is a different type of canoes
playing. I don't I don't necessarily know why. But it takes like four
times as long as a flower and dge like and I don't know why.
It looks like a fern almost yeah, it does look like a fern.
Our Buddy crew, it would not recommend it. You did not like it.
It took forever. I was like, how's it flowers, Like,
oh dude, it's still on vegi. I'm like, what it's been like
six months. I actually said I thought it was just flower, but it's
just I think it's flower everyvedge. It just slowly grew. But that shit
was crazy and it looks really unique. And I think if any spooky strain
name spooky strain, that would be the spookiest to me, because that was
the weirdest shit. And I know I never smoked it. I really did
want to try that, but I don't think I tried it. Did I
try that rosin? I might have tried the rosin, I'm not one hundred
percent it didn't. If I did, it did not stand out, I'll
be honest. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. Well, you spent
like four or five times the amount of money into this plan that doesn't give
you any yield and still doesn't grow taste that great, but it's cool.
It's very cool. So whoever created it was just like kind of having fun
with the plant, and I respect that, you know, but also like
it is truly like a mutated plant, So it's good. It says you
enjoyed the strain while decorator and make it your own Halloween decord. You honestly
could make it your own decord. Just throw that outside. It's funny.
Would you even notice eagle? I got twelve ferns? What are those buzzs?
I don't know. They probably just die because they wouldn't be able to
grow outside of Michigan. Yeah, no, no, here, they'd be
done because it's I don't even know how far they would give flowering, to
be honest, because if it's a longer time to vedge, who knows.
I just want to do it. Let's don't be doing another one. Ghost
o g obviously ghosts perfect for them. I mean yeah, Haunting season Hunting
Haunting. Yeah, the one that I the one that I read that,
I was like, it was like Halloween them, they're like death Star,
what really Star Wars themed? And I wouldn't really say Star Wars even Halloween
themed. Yeah, so I don't really like that one, but I saw
that one on multiple websites that we were reading these because Dave's like spooky strain
names like who talks about that? And there's like four million articles spooky strain
names like who the like no offense, Like, I think it's funny to
discuss and talk about like them and like discuss why we brought them up,
but like, yeah, you know, clearly clickbait, like somebody you's gonna
just share it Halloween time. Oh yeah, yeah, this one's got Mac
and Jack. I don't know. For Devil's Driver, I was like,
all right, because a good one, because the reason I want to give
out the Devil's Driver isn't that the one that's crossed with Dante's Inferno is a
parent. Yeah, and Devil's Driver I don't feel like got that much.
Wasn't it Sunday Driver that got a lot of attention? Sunday Driver popped up?
Yeah, So I don't feel like I even knew much about this.
But the Dante's Inferno, man, that plant Dante's damn Yeah, shoutout Planner.
But like for sure when we were at the Best Bag event, I
went slim with the pack and exotic manner. That ship was that shit was
gas man. I mean, I really like the soap. I think more
on the flavor side for me personally, I think I did too. But
dude, it was like a starburst yeah, and it was flower. I
was like, the fuck is happening? The color of the buds were pretty
too. I could see the I could see people that who like Ron's really
getting into that. Yeah, yeah, I would agree with doing that.
I definitely enjoyed that. I want to split this little band twenty milligram edible
that I got, No, yeah, I could use it. I don't
know. You know, pull my tap up, babe. It's like a
It's like a moist tilt, but with an animal. It does. That's
exactly what it looks like. That's hilarious, it does. That was true,
Luigi my dog, you were practicing. I've been trying. Oh ship,
how am I gonna split this with these gloves on? Oh god,
I gotta take the gloves off. Marle's getting crazy eating his mushroom? Could
you imagine that would have actually been perfect today? Like just eating mushrooms at
the beginning of this episode, thank you, just like a little micro doze
by hey or powering up. I would have been tight. Damn where was
this idea? Like twenty minutes ago, I would have had mushroom. Oh,
we probably could have figured out getting some mushroom chocolate though. Damn.
Yeah, possibly zombie o g I'm I don't know, it's across me to
O G. Cush and BlackBerry. I feel like even like see but the
thing is like I went, I read like one of these articles, one
of them just like anything with the name that even sounds spooky, and it's
like, yeah, of course, phantom ogi, you go keep going down.
Uh all right, let's let's let's get out of the spooky strains and
let's jump in. I mean, truly, I feel like we should have
ended with freak show, but we started and I was like, damn,
that was anti climantic. I'm just kidding, No, I'm just well,
to me, that is truly the most freaky strain because it does not look
like weed when you see it, even when it's flowering, like it looks
like weed and something else. Bang. You know, if anything we should
talk about I'm actually we're not. It's not gonna be spooky strain names.
I'm taking that down on. But if we're gonna talk about like spooky genetics,
what about like two to one and stuff and that one ship that we
tried, like things that are like mixed with hemp, like the Bojacks,
but but jack but Vera was called somebody brought it was like two to one
where it's more CB in than weeks. It was like mixed with hemp two
bo jacks something. My dad remember, I won't want to say his name,
but Homie gave it to us because it was like do you think he
called it two to one? Mm? Hmm? You don't remember smoking?
That had a very unique flavor because it was mixed with hemp but also had
weed in like truly just cannabis, like just sativa. Some remember, damn
Okay, Well, that was very unique to me because I always thought to
me, like mixing hemp and cannabi, like because they're both in the cannabis
family, but they're not just cannabis, like one's cannabis sativa, right and
one's cannabis hemp, right. Whatever the difference is the scientific name blanking right
now. But when you crossed those, isn't that truly kind of like Frankenstein,
like oh, when you're uh yeah, possibly right, or if you're
cross breeding any string, couldn't that be a friend. But that's just I
don't know. I guess it doesn't really matter. I was just trying to
say that your I was just trying to make a freak say I've quit,
I'm just kidding. No, no, but for real though, that's what
that's No. I like that, I like that's a good reference. That's
I just wanted to bring that up. I didn't know of anyone on this
podcast who listens to the podcast knows that there is cannabis out there that has
been crossed with weed. So, you know, I've always wondered about trying
to smoke stuff like that, or even smoking hemp at night, because sometimes
if you just keep smoking weed all day, it's like damn lit or I'm
over too anxious or too two stoned or two in my head or two whatever,
right to whatever. Or sometimes that hemp can kind of calm down the
other things, like mellow it out or counteract whatever you want to call it.
Right, So I've always wondered about smoking that two to one stuff more
on the regular, or smoking something like that. So it's not necessarily spooky.
I just thought of something we should bring up because it is truly a
mutation. Oh the fair that's a good way, you know, Yeah,
I understand mutation. Oh no, I feel I mean there is it would
be nice to see more of that, but you really don't. I feel
like you don't see that as a lot, like I would like to see
a two order three. I guess mutations happen all the time and weed man,
because think about Hermes, like that's a mutation all the time. Ship
happens all the time. I just was thinking about that, like absolutely,
I mean you get freaking the planet Hermes itself or yeah, yeah yeah.
So now instead of jumping into news updates, we're gonna have a little fun
today since we're Mario Louis or Mario Mario and Luigi. No, you're right
today you're like, yeah, I mean it's me, it's Mario. Yeah
no. But the game, I don't want to call it a game.
You can play along with us at home or in the comments. We love
that whatever. But today we're kind of talking about We're calling them scary canna
industry trends, right, And this is the best way me and Dave could
talk about it, because by what we mean by is there are things that
are happening in the cannabis industry that are scary. We did not know how
to I put trends because like, people are doing it and it's becoming more
noticeable. So I think you need to be discussed because so like even though
it's a fun episode, these topics today are actually like pretty like you need
to know about them. And I think one of them we've done an episode
of, but like the other ones, like we actually might have an episode
coming up, and we're trying to like do stuff like that because there's a
lot of things in this industry that aren't necessarily exposed that need to be And
that's one thing I feel like for a while we've been focusing on just like
talking about it needs to be changed. Now that things are there, I
feel like we should also now that the legal industries here, we got to
talk about what's fucking being messed up? You know, Like so because there's
a lot of stuff, you know, Yeah, what's the first book category
you want to kick off with? Is scary in us right now here in
the state and possibly all over anywhere it could be going on? Well,
Well this is I mean, we want to talk about the one we've already
I camere if we did an episode, I feel like we already did.
Do we do an episode on remediation? Ah yeah, I believe so?
Yes, Okay, So that's so that's the one that it was a talk
we did it like a year ago. Yeah, so we didn't. That's
why I want to talk about this first, because we've kindly talked about it.
I want to talk about yeah. Yeah, So remediation, if you're
not familiar with it, is when the flower or the bud after it's been
hang drying, cured doesn't pass testing. So it doesn't pass testing, is
not it's failing for microbials, pesticides, mold, yeast, and a bunch
of other things that can be fail for because you have to have a certain
level of PPM to pass your test and metric. Same thing with the medical
market as well too. Ppms for dummies, Like what what if you could
summarize PPM for dummies, Well, just the parts of per millions PPM,
so it's basically how clean it is. Yeah, the lower the PPM,
the less things are in correct. Just trying to like describe it the best
because I know there's like metals and there's all sorts of like things that can
being in like that's just part of like, but also it could be if
the bud had mold or yeast, or if there was and it does have
peth sides or does have metals, that would fail, right, so then
what you have to do then at that point is you got to pretty much
bake your bake your butt or you're remediating it, right, putting through ozone
like blasted through like an ozone. What was that thing called? You know,
it's funny and just when you said bake, I was like, oh,
like, that's exactly what it is. I was called radiation. But
that's even worse. Yeah, it's just radiation. Then what that doesn't make
past the test? So then you can anything of microwave in your weed do
atte No, exactly, that's exactly what it is pretty much. Then you
can put your product back and market, or you can turn into edibles,
which I think would probably be something better. But that does happen a lot
in the industry, and I don't think a lot of consumers know that understand
that, especially if you're looking at it. And that's why we always talk
about it should be on packaging, Yeah, should be listed just so it's
like fair because there are brands in the way. If you really and if
any brands out there, you want to stand out and be different and be
like flex put it on your stuff, start the standard, be the trend
center. Yeah, the trail. Emerald always does, you know, like
they even have it right here, and my responsor goes slow cured, hand
trimmed and never remediated. Always always sell that. So like, oh yeah
that do that's in the lower there. That is like a huge key thing
and we you want to bring it scary because a lot of that product is
getting to the users and they're smoking it, consuming it, right, So
it's something to bring notice on. It happens a lot within the industry,
especially when you have when you're having so many plans to care for it,
it's hard to you know, stuff can easily fly under the radar too,
you know, right, and it is detrimental. So it's just something to
be wary of. So that's a good one, Grooved. That is pretty
scary well to me. This is something that we've talked about as well.
So I'm gonna bring this up now. And I think we've all we've all
done it, we've all been victims of trying it. But botanical terps it's
a big thing right now everywhere. And I'm not gonna sit here and call
the brands you know who you are, don't I'm not gonna say it because
there's so many. I don't got time. I'm just kidding. But the
thing is, uh, there is getting super flavorful ship with this, I
guess our is like, but it tastes like a vight. It's not like
flavorful in like a good way, you know what I mean. And what
it does is pretty much gives you that that that flavor. That's not a
cannabis drive terp, right, it's it's an artificial botanical. So it's like,
uh, say you have a lemon dropping it in something right, like
a lemon, but it was that lemon lemon turpine that matches the lemon smelt
aroma, which I'll try to translate to the cannabis. So that's what we're
talking aboubout. The botanical terps. The cannabis drive terps are what you would
want in the product, right. So and you see that a lot within
vapes, and now you're starting to see it in some pre rolls and stuff
too, because we're seeing some of them in fuse so heavy. I think
we tried one, which was it the purple what was it grape doing in
the high Times bag that would taste it so bad? Which one wasn't?
Oh, it was just called grape. Yeah, that was like botanic.
Well then't it called it might have been, That's why I think, because
it was just great and it was just doing that's all it was. It
wasn't the best. So like no, no, no, not don't yeah
to garbage listen like enes, like if you're adding, if you're like you
know, if you're a scientist and you're taking turbans out of flower and then
re putting it into you know, the flower into other things, you're back
into the live resident. I've heard of people doing that. That's fine,
that's a different process. And even then, at least it comes from weed.
Ye, don't be buying like sure terpenes well any yeah, any of
those botanical tersts, those fake ones, because at least what we hear,
they're really not good for you. And then like the big thing to me
is and my big thing is, even if they are using them correctly and
they're not touching the flower, it's still to me it tastes so shitty.
Like I again, just personal. If you like flour, don't just go
try those because that's not like gonna taste like flour to you, you know,
No, I think it if you vape destroys it, maybe you'll like
it. I've noticed that a lot of vapors like it, Yeah, because
I think that's where it's it's more so than it targeted. I mean,
I mean you see a little bit in joints and stuff. You don't see
it that often, Like I've only seen it a couple of times compared to
I really don't buy the stuff that if I think it would be in it,
right, So I don't know. I guess it has a market,
but I feel like it for me personally, I think it's more in vapes,
but I could be absolutely wrong, could be more enjoyt No, no,
no, no, absolutely And again there's just no flavor like some rosin
or some real live resin in your joint. And it's like again like I've
also heard people like, oh, we like adding distill it to our things.
But I think when you put disc I feel like when you're putting distillate
and like things like distill it and keep it like that type of stuff,
and you're like joint still or any type of like you know, like or
botanical terps right or any of those type of things. I feel like you're
just trying to like upsell the flower, you know, and I'm almost weary.
And a lot of times when I smoke, it's usually covering up the
taste and I'm like, okay, so what am I smoking? Man?
Why do you have to add so much botanical terps? Why is there so
much key? Why? You know, why is there so much dis you
know, like tisty whatever or shitty live rest or whatever it is, like
whatever it is, right, And then it's like a seven dollars twenty dollars,
like they still keep the price that, you know, really low.
My twenty dollars isn't that low, but you know what I'm saying, low
to basically appeal, so people will buy them. Yeah, sometimes not as
expensive. And that's the trick. It's like you're more affordable than the better
tasting stuff and the and that help better healthier stuff. Just like it's like
organic food versus not as good food. It's like, oh it's a litt
cheeper. I mean, dude, people beat McDonald's all the time. I'm
just saying, like, you can't really, you know, talk shit about
someone's. You know, we put in our bodies what we're comfortable, and
if that's what they like and they like vapes tasting and then you know,
I'm not I'm not necessarily saying like don't vape. You know, I just
don't like the flavor. If you like that ship, I didn't go do
that shit or something. It's a free country. I have been in joke.
But yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I know what
you're saying. Dude, Yeah that was two of them. I know you
said they had a couple of born right here or no, I'm just gonna
sa let you start went off. But I got you. I got you.
So this one I think is more like weird than scary. But I
put it under scary because it is kind of scary when you start thinking about,
like, you know, the fact that this has been metal medical for
a decade. There's no standard untesting. Mm hmm. That's a little scary.
Like we've we still have yet to figure out like how to test it,
like like not even I'm sorry, WHOA, that was dumb. That's
not I mean, not how to test it. We figure out how to
test it. I mean we haven't been like, hey, we should all
do it one way, right, We're still in this way of like no,
no, this is the right way. No, this is the right
way. No, this is you know, oh no, this will get
you better results. I don't know. If you it's like a fuck,
why can't we have one test that does this? Imagine if there is an
you know, like, is there a standard throughout the US? I don't
know. I don't think that. Well it's not federally, that's why would
it be. And I was gonna say, and then as far as the
state level, I mean there are I'm sure there are certain standard testing.
I'm not saying there's no Well, yeah, there's there testing regulations and there's
standards to certain parts of it, like you said the PPM, But I
don't feel like there's one testing style. No. I don't think it's either.
And that's what we've heard from many people, and that's why people we
have this big like battle on where people go and the test results and the
forty right the THC and then also like you know urpenes. You know,
like I'm going a little offered, But but that's what I meant by no
standard on testing. I didn't mean that there wasn't like standards for like you
have to test it like their standards. But there's still standard for it to
talk about like one standard. Yeah. No, that's a good clarity on
that for no one why I should have done. I don't think we'll see
that for a while, man, To be honest, I don't see that
until you just have the research needs to be done first. Whole fordious things
ever get finalized. To be honest, I don't even know, Like that
whole scandal, one entire biggest in the state back in like twenty twenty,
I think it was one standard. Uh, And so I don't know.
I don't know if I see it happen anytime soon. Unfortunately, it's a
good idea, right I think, I don't know. I'm not too it'd
be good, it'd be sweet to get a couple uh what would you call
them? Testers? Facility testers on the podcast. So if you're listening,
reach out to us, let's chat because I'm curious like their thoughts and I
want to dive more into that top dy because I kind of agree because there's
no one standard. That's all I'm trying to say, because like, at
the end of the day, there should be because for anything, it's like
hey, you know, you know, if I can say mine's forty percent,
yours just thirty five percent, but like mine or whatever, because like
our mine has five percent turpenes and this one is nine. Like that's a
huge thing. You're messing people's money. Like your point, you're the the
there needs to be a standard for testing because otherwise these people's standards are just
going on who that who can just basically give them the best results based on
whatever their flower is or whatever their test is, because it's're like, oh
well this shiit says this, or I don't really need that guy, we
have to get testro. I just want to say, I feel like that's
weird. Every time we hear that. I think that's very weird in because
you know what by you know what sells high THC. So the higher the
TC that sells quicker out the store means Yeah, So that's what I feel
like people are doing. We've been manipulating those tests to be able to be
like, oh well, just saying this is what somebody got over there is
what someone got over there? Like doesn't that just sound like a sales pitch
kind of someone I can't prove it. That's a good one. I mean
this last one's pretty scary as well too. And I mean We've been seeing
it posting in the cannabis groups. Uh, it's been talking about. It's
been talked about here and there. It's been talked about, you know,
through the years of the industry growing, and now you're hearing it still too.
And it's it's companies not paying their bills, like on product that they're
either getting in the store or just they're just not paying or they're not paying
how they're just not paying the fucking was it CoA not CoA? Fuck?
What the fuck am I thinking? Know? Uh, the the deposit on
the payment, and that's happening quite offial. It's just yeah, because I
was doing some you know, yeah, because I was doing some reading sort
of I forget what like thread or whatever. I can't pull it up my
gloves or but uh the oh my gosh, oh my god, it's blanked
on. Damn that don'tnut you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's it's
okay. So this group was talking about essentially that when they they're expecting like
cash payments on delivery, and then when they get they're like, oh,
we're gonna pay a h which is a credit credited house or whatever, which
is just like digital digs and one then I say no, you know,
so they're like, so they given them the product and they're like, okay,
we'll take the cat, and then they just don't pay them or vice
versus some other way where they like drop off, you know, there's some
way. I just thought that was one way of manipulation. I'm sure there's
a ton of people not paying, not paying for things that they can afford,
all sorts of things, but that's just one example where it's like,
man, that's that sucks because you're gonna go there expecting cash on delivery,
you know, and then they're like, oh, no, no, we're
gonna pay your digitally. You know, we don't have anything, you know,
know, we're paying acch okay, And then that's an option you can't
really like, no, we're not leaving out cash. You got to oh
that's the standard, okay, And then if no one pays, it's almost
like you have to make a cash on on cash on product exchange right at
that point. I mean, especially when things aren't protected like at the safe
banking or the criminalized level thing, they're not protected th way they can't sue.
Well, there's only so much you can give out on a loan,
right, so it doesn't start hurting your business, right if you're that means
if you're putting out say one hundred thousand, that's a lot for some business,
even though like a smaller growth facility or a smaller processing plant, right,
like you need all that money. Like that's that's a decent chunk of
change. So like that's that's screwing up them paying their bills, paying their
employees. So it's it's a domino effect from hop all the way down.
And that doesn't even talked about because you got to have you should be paying
there, shouldn't like if maybe once or twice you build that relationship. I
understand that because that fronts have always been happened within cannabis, right like here
you go, here's this, we'll pay pay in a week whatever that stuff
happens, right, but not not paying and then continuing saying you'll get pay
them and then pay them and pay them. But then eventually, I mean
the then eventually it's just like you just need to cut them completely off at
that point. And and see if it's I would I would see it be
like is it happening with other people as well? Too? Like, but
that's why it needs to be talked about, because of course it's being talked
like I think because companies are all and fall over and small in size.
I think about you rip up a company, one company from the up,
one company from the west side of state, one company from base ay one.
It's gonna take a while for them to even know, you know.
But the more and more people talk about it, than that reputation will eventually
gradually decline for those brands. But I mean, you should be paying,
like, you shouldn't be doing that. You're in people dollars and under mess
with people's businesses because that's that's just not good You're messed with their livelihood exactly.
That's just not good business. That is scary, dude, that is
very scary. It seems messed It seems it is messed up. It seems
weird to talk about because you're like, hey, you should pay for the
things that you you buy, Like duh, Like that's called stealing. I
know, I don't. I don't get not business stealing. Oh, I
see, you were saying what I'm saying is business. Yeah, yeah,
duh, you're saying what they're doing is stealing. Excuse me. Yeah,
so it's it's bullshit. Yeah, not a not a fan of that business
strategy. So it's not business strategy. It's bullshit. It's lying. It's
like, well, dude, it's like the back of the day where people
may have edged got ripped off by selling bud, which I mean, I
allegedly have you know what I'm saying, Like everyone's been If you were doing
stupid ship back in day, someone ripped you off somehow, whether it was
four weed you were selling them weed, you were trading them, everyone's got
ripped off. I almost felt like it's like a learning curt right, because
you get ripped off by bad people. Okay, no shame on me,
right, But like sometimes people just take advantage and that needs to be called
out because it's bullshit. True. It's the same thing with bad Dave.
It was just some somebody selling butt and you found out someone was selling you
bullshit. You like they're selling it you bullshit by the way, So maybe
selling that bullshit Yep, No, I Like, I I agree with you,
man, they are. There's a lot going on, and I'm glad
you brought that up. That was a good one to bring up. I'm
glad you found that. Well that's all I got, man, That's pretty
much it for spooky. I don't know, No, No, I like
it. I got beaving everything spooky so you can switch it up scared.
I did it because well because every tag Dave was theming, he was like
spooky, this spooky. Then we're just gonna throw spooky on everything. Am
I gonna be spooky? Mario? Yeah, I don't know I'm spooky Luigi
