00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:27.800
Yo, what's going on? What's
uh like? It's another episode of Mechanic

2
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:33.399
Ass. I'm Canada, Dave and
I'm Groovy. Today's episode, we got

3
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.079
tons of things happening within the cannabis
industry. Got a couple of shops closing

4
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:46.159
up in the up. We have
YEAP voting uh is coming up this Tuesday.

5
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:50.920
You're gonna be able to vote for
legal Bud in Ohio and then also

6
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.079
in Rochester. They're voting in Rochester, Michigan, they're voting. They have

7
00:00:54.119 --> 00:01:00.840
dispensers. So we posted a graphic
on that which is pretty hilarious. Check

8
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.040
out our ig. It's called Save
Rochester. They're against the dispensary. So

9
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:10.480
hopefully when we talk next we will
say that dispensaries will be allowed in Rochester.

10
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:19.920
We got news happening with Cleveland School
of Cannabis. Also news from the

11
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.079
South By Southwest Festival. They're and
me focusing more on psychedelics and not so

12
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.879
much cannabis next year. Moving forward, so you can start to see the

13
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.200
waves are starting to change. We've
talked about it here on the podcast Groovy.

14
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:37.000
Where psychedelics now are becoming the forefront
pushed moving forward, starting to see

15
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.640
them legal in states and then also
decriminalized, So this just looks like another

16
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.359
move. So I think we're going
to jump right into this article first.

17
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.640
Oh, and we're also going to
talk about the perfect package and what that

18
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.840
means to us, because everyone's always
talking packaging and we rate it in all

19
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.799
of our reviews. So me and
Groovy we're going to dive into that and

20
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.799
tell you what our ten out of
ten packaging would be. But before we

21
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.840
dive into that was jump into the
south By Southwest Groovy and give a little

22
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.480
give all the people a little bit
run down on what that festival is.

23
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:15.039
So Southwest south By Southwest SXSW.
It's a big like art music film,

24
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:21.080
It's just a big art creative festival
that's been going on in Texas for I

25
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.280
don't know. I don't know because
I know what's been going on for years,

26
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:27.319
Like when I went back to when
I was in school and I never

27
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.680
got to go. Everyone always talked
about it and it was a big deal.

28
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.879
So they're always kind of like you
know, music performances on the street.

29
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.560
You know, there's places showing like
independent films places, it's art all

30
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:39.439
over. So and they're also you
know, they there's a conference about all

31
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.879
sorts of stuff because they draw so
many people from the you know, from

32
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.120
the world, but they also do
like different types of sessions, educational sessions,

33
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.680
hundreds of hundreds of sessions. Now, I think they range from like

34
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.759
music, business to business, different
types of businesses, just like culture.

35
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.879
Now. I always looked at it
as kind of like a culture or festival,

36
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:06.639
if that makes sense, because it's
a conference end festival, because it's

37
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:10.960
like tech, film, music,
education, like it's very like you know,

38
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.039
ride range, but like, especially
being in art school, a lot

39
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:17.199
of people went because you know,
business, art film, you know,

40
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.879
music, a lot of people went. So four hundred plus fifty like different

41
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.680
types of sessions and stuff, and
they say twenty four tracks, So across

42
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:30.520
twenty four tracks, meaning like different
types of you know, music, tech

43
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:34.159
film, I'm sure now it's psychedelics
instead of cannabis. And I think that's

44
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.080
kind of what this article is breaking
down, is that they were kind of

45
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.280
look like going into like a cannabis
like section track and that's why it said

46
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.639
that it they nixed the cannabis track. That's why it says south By the

47
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.039
lineup is NOWS. And then psychedelics, So it seems like one of those

48
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:57.400
tracks have become a psychedelic kind of
route where there's thirteen classes on psychedelics.

49
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.080
Damn. Yeah, that's that's a
decent amount of classes on psychedelics for the

50
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.080
festival, I think. I mean, I don't know how many would be

51
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:10.800
for cannabis generally, but for psychedelics, that's that's pretty big. Yeah,

52
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:14.639
its that. I mean the two
dozen different theme focus areas at the festival,

53
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:15.959
so it's it's it's just huge,
and they're you know, they're not

54
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.920
just talking about, like, you
know, I think it sounds like,

55
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.040
you know, cannabis. It sounds
like cannabis is just being looped involved in

56
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.040
like into these which makes sense.
It's a psychedelic that's what we say.

57
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:30.839
But it's also now blinketing and keeping
inside you know, m D M a

58
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:39.560
H, mushrooms, d MT,
mescal and all that shit. Damn.

59
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.160
And I think it's good to start
seeing this because it's starting to show,

60
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.399
like I was saying at the beginning
of this, is that people's mindsets are

61
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:53.800
changing. Cannabis now is becoming more
of that plant that's becoming legal. You're

62
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.839
having more states option to have it
legal. We have two this year voted

63
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.160
in legislator. The legis later voted
it in, not even the people voted

64
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.160
it in. So you're starting to
see that mindset change. And I believe

65
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.360
those are Delaware in Minnesota if I'm
not mistaken. Obviously it failed in Oklahoma

66
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.600
this year for recreational but those two
states move forward. So and now you

67
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.519
got I think if Ohio goes legal
tomorrow, that's twenty four states, right,

68
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.480
So now we're halfway in the US. So what's next. Psychedelics.

69
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.839
I'm jumping in no no, no, no, I'm not. Yeah.

70
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.879
I meant as in like full coming, full circle as in psychedelics, not

71
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.680
gonna be pushing us forward, as
in I think those are going to go

72
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:34.519
faster than cannabis has. Cannabis well, I think that cannabis has such a

73
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:39.639
bad way. I think cannabis has
such a bad name to it because of

74
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:43.439
all the reefer madness and all the
propaganda against it, that psychedelics might have

75
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:47.160
a quicker a better chance and getting
marijuana looped in there, cannabis being looped

76
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.720
in there because it is a psychedelic. So I think if anything, that's

77
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:54.600
going to help cannabis go faster because
it is just us psychedelic. Weed is

78
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.199
just US psychedelic. You know.
People don't talk about all the other ones,

79
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.800
you know, but it's just one. Yeah, I would agree with

80
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:02.759
you there, grew with you one
hundred percent. I think I think you're

81
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.319
absolutely right. I think it will
push it forward and we'll be able to

82
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.560
start, hopefully to see more and
more states just break down the barriers of

83
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:16.199
illegal or barely any medical laws because
there's dollars. It helps people. People

84
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.639
should have the option to be able
to use cannabis, and they should be

85
00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.519
able to option to use psychedelics,
especially if psychedelics, which we're seeing right

86
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.399
now is great for PTSD. Yeah. I mean they're going to be talking

87
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.839
about Kennemy all sorts of ship,
dude, but all that stuff, all

88
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:32.240
that all that stuff should be talked
about. I think it all has traditional

89
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:38.120
value and just regular recreational value in
small meat is small doses. It can

90
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:42.399
help the mental. These these psychedelics
have been around for thousands of years.

91
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.000
They've been around before even America was
built and born. Right, Native Americans

92
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.959
were using psychedelics for thousands of years. Huh. I found it was really

93
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.759
discovered born, yeah, yeah,
taken whatever, whatever. No. I

94
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.759
would want to read this though before
you get two topic, it says,

95
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:04.959
here are some examples of sessions featured
in the South by southwas Psychedelic Track sod

96
00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:12.439
FDA approved Love question Mark exploring MDMA, psychedelic Journey, We got finding balance

97
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:18.560
your relationship with psychoactive plants MDMA Saved
My life, Psychedelics and healing from sexual

98
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:27.759
trauma, the bars new top shelf, elevation over inebriation, man versus nature,

99
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:32.079
the commercialation of psilo cybet medicine,
psychedelic leadership and systems change, and

100
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:36.879
there's oh, so those are the
ones that are focused more on psychedelics,

101
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.399
and then when you go down there's
actually here's some descriptions of sessions dealing with

102
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:47.199
cannabis from prison to prosperity, How
advocacy can impact cannabis. And I think

103
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.800
there's one more cannabis around the world
where the big opportunities. So it's just

104
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.439
being included and being blanketed. And
as much as like I love, you

105
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:58.519
know, I'm a big you know, I'm proponent of cannabis, right,

106
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.920
Like cannabis to me is you know, I can heal a lot, but

107
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.680
like when we branch it out even
bigger, you can heal even more,

108
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.959
right, you know, so I
understand that. I think we're just cupping

109
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.439
the surface with what it can do, especially with new cannabinoids becoming prevalent.

110
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.800
Wait till we start seeing No,
no, I'm not Yeah, I'm talking

111
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:20.199
about all these other things, not
just weed, like I'm saying, like

112
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.759
when you blanket psychedelics, like you
include cannabis, it's the same shit,

113
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.920
right, You're saying the same thing. It's just it's a bigger, bigger

114
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:35.480
blanket. Okay, makes sense.
I got you on that. It's a

115
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.879
good article. Hopefully, uh,
we just see this trend continue and see

116
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.960
more more psychedelics being talked about,
and who knows, twenty twenty four,

117
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.639
we might be legalizing, you know, our decriminalizing psychedelics in the state of

118
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.480
Michigan and south by Southwest is a
huge conference like conference in festivals. It

119
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:52.759
takes over a week in downtown.
I think it's Austin, but I can't

120
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.799
remember exactly, but it's it's huge. So it's definitely huge. So so

121
00:08:56.960 --> 00:09:00.639
I got a couple more out of
Ohio, but I want to talk about

122
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.720
this one real quick before we jump
over to Ohio. Uh, this talks

123
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.720
about a legal bud tender is home
and for three weeks and being on Rikers

124
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.120
and one pot chargers. Excuse me, that was fucking horribly red. I'm

125
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:20.840
so sorry. But essentially this legal
bud tender uh in Jamal George Jamal George

126
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.960
thirty three, he somehow got into
held at Rikers and in a Pennsylvania jail

127
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.080
basically on these cannabis charges where you
know, you know, in Pennsylvania still

128
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.720
completely legal. New York was the
one that still was legal. But it's

129
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.720
kind of complicated. It kind of
sounds like he had warrants related to him

130
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.679
from cannabis previously, where some when
everything when legal, he wasn't necessarily protected

131
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:50.039
because they were protected from cannabis charges
but not from past cannibal cannabis warrants.

132
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:56.080
War So it was kind of complicated, Yeah, which is stupid because like,

133
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.399
technically, in my I mean,
they're not the same. I get

134
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:00.720
that, But technically, in my
opinion, if it's a warrant for a

135
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.120
cannabis charge like that should just been
expunged as well too. It's not like

136
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.879
he had a warrant for pushing hundreds
of thousands of pounds. I think it

137
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.799
was for driving without us just driving
with a suspended license with cannabis or something

138
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:15.039
on him or something like that.
Here it is twenty twenty one law legalizing

139
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:20.200
cannabis included a provision expunging cannabis convictions
but not pot related arrest warrants. So

140
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.360
his war warts on those pot chargers
that are still no technically like not even

141
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:26.960
big dealing him over there aren't worst
to it, could you know? That's

142
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.279
why he got thrown in Rikers and
then he got transferred to Pennsylvania because it

143
00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.159
sounds like he has previous convictions over
there, so it's just shitty. But

144
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.639
long story short, he went through
city some shitty stuff for a few weeks

145
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.279
well too, and then he had
got charged. He got charges for in

146
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.759
Pennsylvania for a warrant as well too
before he got freed. No, that's

147
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:50.120
what I was trying to see that
he got pushed over to Pennsylvania, right

148
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.879
because I think he had two charges
right right, that's what he went to

149
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.600
Rikers to serve that out. Then
you need to go to Pennsylvania, which

150
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:00.519
Pennsylvania is super illegal in there still, But thanks for too good people in

151
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.720
the cannabis community. It sounds like
his colleagues and friends railed around him and

152
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:07.919
got him a GoFundMe and was able
to raise like thirteen thousand, five hundred

153
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.679
dollars, which got him bailed out. Well, helped him get to that

154
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.639
twenty thousand dollars ballou so shout out
to Mike Castle for people that helped start

155
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:20.159
to go fund me. But I
think that's just kind of a crazy story

156
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.799
that you know here now in his
state, New York, where it's legal

157
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.840
and people are literally selling it in
trucks just driving around. But this guy

158
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.200
is going to go to jail and
basically like screw his whole life up because

159
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.480
you know, his job was pissed
or like, you know, anything he

160
00:11:33.480 --> 00:11:37.399
had going on three weeks is three
weeks, you know, So he disrupted

161
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:43.080
his whole life, just crazy all
over some shit that happened before it was

162
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.159
legal. Like to me, like
that doesn't make any sense. It's like

163
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.399
why it was such a big deal. Why you know, you've got to

164
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:50.840
get those people out of jail,
because they're the ones that are being the

165
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:54.759
most wrong. They're just sitting there
on charge of that. Now people are

166
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:58.120
getting paid to do so it doesn't
make sense like this shit like this shouldn't

167
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:03.399
be slipping through, but it does
because it takes so long for the system

168
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.080
to expunge records, rather than saying, hey, any of these charges underneath

169
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.080
these rules should just be no and
void. I don't understand why it's got

170
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.759
to be such a process and you
have to go fill out the forums.

171
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.039
Why can't the government just say anybody
who's been charged under these things or just

172
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:22.399
it doesn't it just goes away,
like I don't do. Process can sometimes

173
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.799
be fucking annoying. It's the government, Yeah, they say, sometimes it

174
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:35.399
makes sense, sometimes it doesn't.
Yeah, that's why. That's why you

175
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:37.279
have all these loopholes with stuff when
it's not written properly as well too,

176
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.919
and you just you find those little
loopholes and you go through it. It

177
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.720
is very unfortunate, but I'm glad
that the gofund ME came up and they

178
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.240
were able to get him released.
We can be back home with this family.

179
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.240
Uh, because a warrant for you
arrest, like you're saying, man,

180
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:54.759
it should have been took it off. He should have been exponged just

181
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.879
because he's backs based like it shouldn't
have shouldn't have to like deal with that

182
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.559
or have to go to court or
have to go to jail for three weeks

183
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.320
in multiple prisons, Like, yeah, what are you in here for?

184
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.159
Marijuana? Charts? Aren't isn't it
legal in our state? Yeah? Man,

185
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.279
I know what the hell? I
feel like that's like the conversation you

186
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.480
have in your first night in prison, Like you know, like, I'm

187
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.320
I know what you're trying to I
don't know. I haven't been inside prison,

188
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:24.080
so yeah, I don't know how
the first conversation goes. But you

189
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:30.000
know, but whatever, Let's jump
into Ohio here. They got a couple

190
00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:37.360
I got a couple things popping up
with the election. Midterm elections happening this

191
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:43.639
Tuesday, November seventh, and Ohios
has the opportunity to legalize cannabis this year.

192
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.600
They had the opportunity what was it
to two or three years ago?

193
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:52.399
Twenty one was it? And I
think it was twenty actually, and they

194
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.080
did not pass it, which was
good because I don't think the law was

195
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.960
written properly at the time. So
that's why a loed the Ohioans did not

196
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:03.120
vote it through. Right now,
they're looking at the law and it has

197
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:07.360
some better it's better written, and
to be honest, when I was reading

198
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:13.960
some of this article from Mjbiz Daily, Ohio's the country's seventh, seventh,

199
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:18.320
seventh most populous state in America,
did not know that fun fact of the

200
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.960
day, it has over twelve million. I have no idea. I don't

201
00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.080
know. I'm just reading the first
paragraph and I was like, that was

202
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.840
something I'm going to say, because
that's interesting. They're also predicting it to

203
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.279
be a four billion dollar market,
and if Ohio does go legal, I

204
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:39.080
wonder how that's going to affect some
of these dispensaries on the border of Ohio

205
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.799
and Michigan. Maybe not at first, right, because Ohio's prices might be

206
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.000
different and the products different. It
just takes in time. Eventually, I

207
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.320
think they'll start losing some of those
repeat customers or customers that aren't going to

208
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.879
make the half hour forty five minute
drive when they might be able to go

209
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.440
fifteen to twenty minutes. Right,
Who knows. I'm just curious one hundred

210
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.039
percent. I mean, I just
me living over in the water for Paniac

211
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.879
area. Now there's disposing water for
Paniac, Like I'm not driving down to

212
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:11.720
Detroit unless it's convenient exactly. That's
fifteen minutes, twenty five minutes. Yeah,

213
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:16.120
so there you go, Like it's
just yeah. And so for those

214
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:18.759
people out there in Ohio, it's
issue too. They're voting to they either

215
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:22.120
approved it or denied it. At
this point, you know, I wish

216
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.480
we could, you know, have
given this out beforehand, but you know,

217
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:28.320
now we're just we talked about it
before, but now it's is illegal.

218
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:31.519
I hopefully we're talking about it on
the Waken Bay. So come and

219
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:35.840
check it out Saturday. We'll have
an update for you nine am Eastern Live.

220
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.399
Check out YouTube ig yep. And
so, so while we're over down

221
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:43.639
in Ohio, this next topic I
wanted to talk about was actually kind of

222
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.159
cool. It's Cleveland. Oh before
you before you jump into that, what

223
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.159
were some of the laws within the
the Weren't they able to grow six plants

224
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:54.919
per person at the house, but
if you had two or more people there?

225
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:56.840
Well that's my next article. Yeah, that's where I was. That's

226
00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:00.399
where I was going to the cannabis
school. It's in the next article.

227
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.320
But yeah, so yeah, so
it's either way, well all right,

228
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:07.759
hold on. So yeah, so
it's pretty much very similar to Michigan.

229
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:15.639
It's anyone over twenty one and up. They'll be voting on Tuesday. It'll

230
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.840
be about what was it, six
plants per person to grow above twenty one

231
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:23.399
in their household and then up to
twelve in each household, So twelve plants

232
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:27.440
total in a household if you have
more than two adults, and then ten

233
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.200
percent tax, so a little bit
better than we have here with the sixteen

234
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:37.519
percent. So yeah, yeah,
so yeah, yeah, I think that's

235
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:40.440
really cool. It's kind of you
know, it's not horrible, it's not

236
00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:44.279
amazing, but it's not like we've
seen a lot worse. So it's not

237
00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:47.759
the end of the world. But
we'll see if they do it. You

238
00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:56.799
know that I like you for tax. Yeah, I think it's actually so

239
00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.639
I think what well, anyway,
so they brought that up about issue too,

240
00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.880
because if Issue two does pass,
this school called Cleveland School and Cannabis

241
00:17:03.880 --> 00:17:10.039
expecting a huge spike. And they've
already been doing pretty good business assessments twenty

242
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:14.720
seventeen, so it sounds like since
Ohio went legal about within that next year,

243
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.559
they've been pretty much teaching, so
they've been going strong, I think

244
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.359
right now, they're just kind of
putting on information because with issue two,

245
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:23.880
especially because like you said, the
last one wasn't worded correctly, this one

246
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:27.359
is worded correctly. So they're really
thinking that issue too is going to pass

247
00:17:27.480 --> 00:17:30.839
this time. So they're really expecting
like a huge, huge, like spike

248
00:17:32.359 --> 00:17:37.559
in people coming out, and so
that's cool. Their tuition ranges from seventy

249
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.720
five hundred to fourteen thousand dollars.
It's the only state approved career school for

250
00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.960
cannabis east of Colorado. Thought that
was really cool. It says more than

251
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:49.640
nine hundred people have graduated already with
about an eighty percent graduation rate. Holds

252
00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:52.880
about one hundred and thirty to one
hundred and fifty people per term. And

253
00:17:53.000 --> 00:17:56.720
I, you know, especially within
the new age of like you know,

254
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:59.480
this isn't people just growing weed and
selling it. This is like there's so

255
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:04.480
much sure and so much things going
out with testing and how metric is versus

256
00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:07.319
how this is versus how this is, Like there's a lot of rules and

257
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:11.000
regulation. So I feel like this
school could be really beneficial because especially for

258
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.960
like you know, you know,
sometimes we see issues here in Michigan is

259
00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.319
sometimes education varies because there isn't that
like standard for any education, which is

260
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.160
you know, again it comes from
people just teaching, so like there is

261
00:18:23.200 --> 00:18:27.759
no standard for education yet. But
I think schools like this Cleveland School for

262
00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:32.319
Cannabis or whatever it's called, are
going to try to kind of create a

263
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.920
standard or create a goal. I
guess almost like hey, you know,

264
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.599
I have this, I know I
know this. You know yeah, no,

265
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:44.119
no, no, I like what
they're doing. They also mentioned many

266
00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.799
times in the article that they do
not smoke on the job because they're always

267
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:48.519
asked, are you guys smoking the
weed? No, no, no,

268
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:52.319
no. They're used hemp, and
once the hemp's used, it's disposed,

269
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:55.720
like they dispose the hemp for teaching
and everything. There's no smoking. There's

270
00:18:55.759 --> 00:18:59.559
nothing on that in the class,
which that makes sense. Yeah, you

271
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.680
might be smoking while you're there,
but you're not smoking. It's like legit

272
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.920
college or legit. Yeah, to
be honest, that's kind of a stupid

273
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.200
question, Like to be honest,
because that's like just because you're learning about

274
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.319
alcohol beer, you're gonna drink beer
on the job. Like, no,

275
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.160
you're not gonna drink on the job. It's not gonna let you smoke weed.

276
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.559
On a job, like you're crazy, you can do it. You

277
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:21.039
know, they're not gonna like,
they're not gonna promote it. Even discios

278
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.279
don't promote it. That's fucking stupid, Like that doesn't make any sense.

279
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:26.480
Hey, when I did liquor sales, when we had brands coming, we

280
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:30.160
would drink on the job, like
literally we would test the product with everybody.

281
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.759
It was insane, I know.
But they didn't promote it. They're

282
00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:37.279
not like putting it out there like, oh, people are drinking on the

283
00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.960
job. That's all I'm trying.
That's no ship. They're not gonna tell

284
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.880
you at school, they're not gonna
say it's it's education, dude, That's

285
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:48.279
what I'm saying, Like, that's
how they did it. At they were

286
00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:52.319
talking about whatever school that was in
Michigan that they were discussing. Northern Michigan

287
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.000
was doing stuff like that. They
were all using hemp, which again,

288
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.200
like the issue with that is then
you're not getting the exact results that you

289
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:03.000
would be expecting from cannabis sativa.
Right, So, like to me,

290
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:04.920
like that also does hold you back
a little bit, but not, you

291
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.079
know, not that much. I'm
sure all the tests are really ran the

292
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.759
same you know, Yeah, yeah, I would agree. I mean they're

293
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.480
pretty much similar plants. You might
just see different plant structure when they're growing,

294
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:19.880
right, But between an indica,
the hemp, and then the suppul

295
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:23.240
sitiva. Do I think education is
needed to be a good grower to be

296
00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.240
in the industry? No, But
do I think it helps, especially if

297
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:29.799
you don't know anyone in industry and
you want to be like, yeah,

298
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.200
man, I think it's nice because
dude, if you don't know anyone in

299
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:34.680
industry, like what else you gonna
do? It's just like it feels like

300
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.240
if you can't learn someone to be
an apprentice with, you go to school.

301
00:20:37.640 --> 00:20:41.880
Same difference. Absolutely, I kind
of think education's key. I kind

302
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.559
of think you're gonna need Anyone can
grow weed, right, but if you

303
00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.359
want to become a good, good
cultivator, I think you're gonna it'd be

304
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:52.759
good to learn from somebody or learn
from people that have had experience. See,

305
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:56.400
I think I agree with that,
But because like I mean, I've

306
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:57.960
seen I've smoked your weed, bro, and you know, have no fucking

307
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:03.039
education, you're really you know what
I mean? So I think what these

308
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:06.079
schools I did a lot. I
had a lot of mentors. Yeah,

309
00:21:06.240 --> 00:21:08.559
I get that, but I really
learned from many people, right, I

310
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:11.720
get that, But that's what I'm
trying to say is you got an apprenticeship.

311
00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.920
But I think the school is also
not just going to teach how to

312
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.279
cold bit. I really think that
a lot of these standards you're not you

313
00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.039
can't learn these anywhere besides school or
on the job site. You can learn

314
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.640
how to grow cannabis from YouTube,
but you can't learn standards. It's like

315
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.039
testing and all these That's all I
was trying to say. I'm not saying

316
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:29.519
you can't, and it is definitely
beneficial. I'm just saying that I feel

317
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.319
like the school goes beyond just growing
the weed, you know what I mean,

318
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:37.759
They're going on the whole industry.
Yeah, no, no, I

319
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:40.920
I get what you're saying. I
was just putting an example as a grower

320
00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:42.640
for for reasoning, because I just
know in my past. I mean,

321
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:45.759
you can, you can read books, you can do whatever. Anyone can

322
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.359
grow weed. But I think over
time it's going to have those mentors,

323
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:51.920
even people you can learn from or
are check out. Like if you have

324
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:53.799
friends growing, that's a great way
to get knowledge as well too. It's

325
00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:57.319
because you can have multiple people bounce
it off ideas. Yeah, no,

326
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:02.960
sorry, if you're not watching the
podcast, you just see Dave's key door

327
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.880
slowly open, so I know Molly
was just walking in right now. Yeah,

328
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:08.160
before the episode, I went and
got her bed. I was like,

329
00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:11.599
all right, Mom, I'm getting
your bed because she busted it before

330
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:18.839
we even started recording. Hilarious.
Yea, but I agree that I agree

331
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:22.480
with it. I love it because
it's good. It's good to be there

332
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.319
because like, I'm not gonna get
too much into it because when you get

333
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.319
into it, and probably the end
of the episode, we posted a meme

334
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:30.559
on highest THC grouve. We created
this meme teamwork and it's getting a lot

335
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:34.680
of comments and it, to me, it showed a point that the customers

336
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:40.160
are uneducated, not the bud tenders. A little bit misconception. I do

337
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:42.400
think it their buttenders are a little
bit more. But we had a lot

338
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:47.319
of butttenders commenting and they're saying the
consumers so very but also some of those

339
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.759
bud tenders said newer bud tenders,
and I think that's kind of what the

340
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.559
key is. And I think that's
kind of like where the the the kind

341
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.960
of the the laughing part of the
meme came from is that sometimes it's like

342
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.640
the Spider Man meme, Like it's
like the Budge saying it's the customers,

343
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.559
but it's the customers saying it's the
bud tenders. And what you're saying,

344
00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:07.680
like what we realized it is some
people really really care and the education is

345
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.200
key, and then some people are
just trying to get the best deal and

346
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.960
just or just try to make a
sale. So like sometimes it's it's just

347
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.240
education, it's key. Like I
we definitely you know, that's the thing

348
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.119
about that. You can't really blame
the bud tenders because that's generalized. You

349
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.319
can't blame the customers because that's generalizing
because like so really what it is is

350
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:29.079
that there's a lack of education about
all these other things that matter rather than

351
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:33.839
this quote unquote THIAC level that's going
to quote unquote get you highest. You

352
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.640
know where a lot of times I
fight some of these higher KAC strains don't

353
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.519
even taste that good. Yeah,
whether they're growing good or not, they

354
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.799
just don't taste as good as some
of this stuff that's like twenty four,

355
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.799
twenty five, thirty like you know
twenty, like you know what I mean

356
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:52.880
that like not as high as like
forty percent range Like what so I don't,

357
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.599
I don't, I don't. You
know us We're all about the We're

358
00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:57.880
all about the flavors, all about
the trash effect, the cannabinoids, the

359
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:02.799
flavi anoids, the turk, all
that plays and counteracts each other in a

360
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.720
perfectly well balanced and when that hits, that shit just slaps give me eighteen

361
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:12.559
percent all day. That shit is
like but a but a check out Groovy's

362
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.319
track with chaff called butt where I
do I kept saying butter and just reminded

363
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.559
me. But it's great to see
this class there. It's cool to see

364
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.440
the education because when you're seeing that, we're starting to put education first within

365
00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:32.279
the industry. And I think that
will change some of these negative perceptions of

366
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:34.680
like high tsg's based blood tenders or
it's based on the consumers, because more

367
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:38.640
people start talking about it. There
hasn't been enough information out there as well

368
00:24:38.680 --> 00:24:41.400
either. I mean, there's okay, there's information out there, but more

369
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:45.599
and mores come in, more and
more continue to come and I think in

370
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.160
time we'll start seeing that happen as
well. Too, so shout out too.

371
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:52.960
I think what was at the Cleveland
School of Cannabis or something like that,

372
00:24:53.079 --> 00:24:56.799
And if I'm not mistaken, I
think one of our listeners went there.

373
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.880
I'm assuming it has to be because
he just graduated. And if you're

374
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:03.480
listening, shout out. I won't
drop your name, my dude, but

375
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.480
he's working here in the state of
Michigan after graduating. And I'm assuming it's

376
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:10.559
the school because he was from Ohio
and I think that's the only one in

377
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:15.519
the state, so it's Cleveland.
Like, yeah, I think you're you're

378
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.079
you're guessing pretty well, you know, yeah, shout out our dude.

379
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.160
It worked. He graduated and he
has a degree in this. So if

380
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.240
you're thinking and he's working, yeah, here in Michigan. He's working for

381
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.720
a good brand too, actually his
favorite brand that he's enjoyed since the medical

382
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:33.599
days, because yeah, medical days
up here. So I'm not gonna go

383
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:36.799
to any more detail, but shout
out our dude. Yeah, yeah,

384
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:38.359
yeah. I don't know if did
Dave. I don't know if Candadate brought

385
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.960
this up in the beginning, but
we were gonna mention like our perfect package

386
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:45.000
idea after just kind of like talk
about kind of like packaging a little bit.

387
00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:48.079
I don't know if we mentioned that, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

388
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:52.720
Okay, Well I'm excited for that
because I really want to reiterate that because

389
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.279
that's how we would end it like
that. How what's our perfect ten out

390
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:57.279
of ten? And the reason why
we talk about is because we brand it

391
00:25:57.319 --> 00:26:00.920
on so many, so many reviews
and go through all these reviews consistently with

392
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.400
you guys. So we're gonna get
into that. But before we get into

393
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:07.400
that, I want to give a
quick shout out to our partners uh am

394
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.839
I, Loud Flower, Old School
Organics, and Emerald Fire. Without you

395
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:15.160
guys, we wouldn't be doing what
we're doing. So appreciate you and appreciate

396
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:19.880
you help us evolve this company that
we're building here. Media company that we're

397
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:26.440
building here. You can see you
can see their product in any stories throughout

398
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.440
the state. If you have any
questions on where to get it, just

399
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.799
reach out to us in the DMS. We're pretty quick to respond. If

400
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.680
we don't respond, we'll get to
later that day, like honestly there so,

401
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:40.279
but before we get into the perfect
package, we're gonna jump into a

402
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:44.880
couple of Michigan articles, and I
think the first one is Wilson Willie Nelson's

403
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:48.799
cannabis brand is coming here to Michigan. Groovy. Is that true? Yeah,

404
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:52.880
so Willie Nelson's brand. If you
don't know Willie Nelson get out from

405
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:59.359
I think that rock. Who's Willie
Nelson. He's a musician, uh,

406
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:07.079
you know, big big country folk, blue artist and just huge. He's

407
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.519
been in movies. Blah blah blah
blah blah. Long story short. One

408
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:12.559
of the other celebrities coming out with
a cannabis brand, calling Willy's Reserve.

409
00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:21.119
No, I don't know if I
have high hopes for this because I can't

410
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.000
tell you how many times i've you
know, these brands come out with you

411
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:26.839
know how many cannabis, you know, with how many celebrities, and like,

412
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.400
sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Like so it's kind of just

413
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.039
a hit in the dark. And
it wasn't a business deal. How far

414
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.960
they are behind it, you know, we'll see because I don't really know

415
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.079
how you know deep Willy is like
behind it. You know, he could

416
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.440
be using it to make some money. You know, they give you a

417
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:49.599
TC typical potency whatever, that's all
it really has. It really just lists

418
00:27:49.599 --> 00:27:53.359
you a bunch of locations on where
it's at, you know, that's really

419
00:27:53.400 --> 00:28:00.240
about it. Virgu neighborhood, Essential, Traverse City, mood Center, puff

420
00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:07.839
shoot, you know, just random
dispels playing for twenty stone depot. So

421
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.599
it is. It is grown by
ard Vark Indu Indus trees Trees, not

422
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:22.680
industries nice trees. They're the same
brand that did Cheeches Stash as well too,

423
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:26.400
because that's who they have on the
website. So this could be their

424
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.359
thing. You know, they just
find a sloppy doors, random parts of

425
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:32.119
their plants, and they just you
know, this could just be their thing.

426
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.000
Didn't we try the The The cheese
stuff wasn't bad, remember we did

427
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.119
their review of the because it was
and we were like kind of like for

428
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.359
twenty dollars and eights, like,
you know, why is there only twenty

429
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:47.160
an eighth? You know, but
then we smoked him right home. It

430
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.599
wasn't horrible. Yeah, I know. So I have a little bit more

431
00:28:49.680 --> 00:28:55.000
higher expectations for this then, because
if you're hopes, yeah, higher hopes

432
00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.000
compared to like goog Wa that came
here, or I guess I've just kind

433
00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:00.880
of jaded by the whole oh,
I'm putting my name behind a brand.

434
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.680
Like now I'm kind of like so
like you know what I mean. Like,

435
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:07.680
but after like your fifth time in
this happening, you're kind of like

436
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.440
you know, because like it's also
hit or miss too. Like the ship

437
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.559
we had out like that ice Cube
stuff we had on in Vegas was horrible,

438
00:29:14.960 --> 00:29:18.079
but like that that out like to
Iversen stuff, that Iverson ship we

439
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:23.559
had was fantomatic. Bye, I
think I think and I think you know

440
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:26.960
where I think it comes from.
The more and more we keep learning in

441
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.839
this industry, it comes down to
who they partner with and who the cultivators

442
00:29:29.880 --> 00:29:33.759
are of those plants, right right, because when you see because I think

443
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:36.599
some of Iola's Bob we've had in
the past wasn't bad, but that Iverson

444
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:38.359
strain did slap, so that was
probably good genetics and then they had a

445
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:41.519
good grow on it. Because that
was I was. I was impressed.

446
00:29:41.559 --> 00:29:44.279
I was like, damn for well, it almost seemed like really on that

447
00:29:44.440 --> 00:29:48.559
end, Alan Iverson wanted his own
genetic and that's sweet. But like I'm

448
00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:51.799
just like wondering if some of these
grows are just crossing strains and like sending

449
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:53.480
them to celebrities until one of them
is like cool, I like that enough

450
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.880
and they're like cool, run it
like they don't know if they really care,

451
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:59.480
they're just trying to sell something.
But it was good, so I

452
00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:03.079
can't really it was all right,
Like it was very like my expectations were

453
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:06.640
low. So when it was like
pretty good, it was pretty damn good,

454
00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:07.720
you know what I'm saying. Like
the expectation was low. So like

455
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:11.480
I I'm a little like, I'm
just I'm gonna keep my I'm gonna keep

456
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:15.960
open minded to this. I'm gonna
try to grab it. I think it'll

457
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:21.920
be really I'm gonna try. I'm
gonna grab it on lunch at work.

458
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.559
Oh dang, Oh that's like right
by you. Yeah, when's it?

459
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:32.559
When's it hit the shop? You
said? Is it in stores now?

460
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:40.920
Because it doesn't say in the article? Oh, starting to sell Wednesday?

461
00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:45.480
Yeah, like today, so tomorrow
this Wednesday? Okay, I had checked

462
00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:48.119
the date. That's pretty cool.
Actually, yeah, when they're listening to

463
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:55.319
this podcast, it's out today.
Ah, yeah, it is today.

464
00:30:55.359 --> 00:31:03.079
I even have it in parentheses today, so hopefully I'm right. Otherwise I

465
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.240
went to the store. Groovy said
it was today, and it wasn't today,

466
00:31:07.240 --> 00:31:12.519
liar, follow Yeah, So see
how it goes? Man, I

467
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:18.119
try. I'm curious. So he's
been like in the he's been a huge

468
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.440
advocate for canvas for years. So
I see him launch a brand. And

469
00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:23.799
if it's by the Chiecha stash,
which we tried, which is all right,

470
00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:29.640
pretty good, this is a little
bit better. So you we'll keep

471
00:31:29.680 --> 00:31:33.920
you guys updated on that. And
then this article up in the up groovy.

472
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:36.680
I actually one more before we get
there. Before we get there,

473
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:38.200
just have one thing because that one's
a little bit longer. Because that one's

474
00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:41.319
I have. I've read into that
one a little bit, so I want

475
00:31:41.359 --> 00:31:44.240
to dig into that a bit.
This one's a little bit quicker. Uh.

476
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.279
And am my canvas dispensary owner and
got hit with the I R S

477
00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.079
for obstruction for avoiding tax tax bang
uh. And this is what's fascinating to

478
00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:57.839
me. It's during twenty eleven and
twenty fourteen relieve choices in Warren, Michigan.

479
00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:04.680
Do you remember that? I don't
remember them at all? Do you

480
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.200
remember them at all? I don't
know it's one in Warren, but I

481
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:10.039
don't remember where it was. It
must be that relief choices. It must

482
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.920
be it. But anyways, I
don't think they were open. They routed

483
00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:20.440
customer credit card payments through an unrelated
third party bank to conceal the business goal

484
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:24.119
receipts. So they're basically like using
credit cards on like cannabis sales back in

485
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:29.640
the day. Somehow they were doing
some shitty shit. So long story short,

486
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.079
the profits derived from Relief Choice Operation
Richmond caused a tax loss to the

487
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:36.759
irs more than like one point one
five million dollars. So imagine he owns

488
00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:40.799
the taxes on that, which is
plus uh late fees. I'm sure the

489
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.599
government's not happy. You don't mess
with the tax man. You don't mess

490
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.160
with the tax don't. No,
you don't. Uncle Sam's now when you

491
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.119
want a million bucks too, damn
damn. And he's got to go to

492
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:58.599
federal because it's a mandatory sentiment.
I'm just thinking, how long how many

493
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:01.880
increases in like late fees, but
like interest has been a Q ring there

494
00:33:01.920 --> 00:33:07.880
too. Oh, you're just scary, scary. That's scary, dude.

495
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:14.920
I'm gonna go home. What you
are home? You can't go home any

496
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.240
further. I'm gonna go this is
what I'm gonna do. Now we can

497
00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:25.799
jump to the up. Oh dang, days really gone? Yeah? All

498
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:29.680
right, yeah, let's the up. I'll let you dive into this article

499
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:31.480
first. This is crazy. Well, there's just a lot. It seems

500
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:37.640
like there's a lot of like yeah, like it's a lot of like it's

501
00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:45.240
interesting because it's almost like cannabis against
cannabis and hold let me, let me

502
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:46.279
get adapt. This is this is
it. This is let me. I'm

503
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:50.960
gonna get it. I'm gonna get
I like it. I like it's dabb

504
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.039
oclock. If you're out there and
podcast land or YouTube land wherever you're at

505
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:59.960
Instagram face hit a dab. I
know you can't borrow my rick from me?

506
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.640
Can do Oh my god, what
are you dabbing? My dude?

507
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:09.599
Not bad? What what are you
dabbing? I don't know cush Masters smack

508
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.960
okay, why because I'm about to
do cush Masters too, and that debating

509
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.639
on them both. So I just
been going through it too much. Man.

510
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:24.679
I just like the it's I get
this quality right here. It's not

511
00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:30.280
bad. I mean, so you're
you're having you're having two dispos The original

512
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:36.639
two get approved and they were Rise
and fire Station Cannabis and they're pitted against

513
00:34:36.960 --> 00:34:42.440
these five other dispensaries. No,
well there's three other dispensaries. But the

514
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.679
thing is, like, that's what
that's what gets confusing is because they were

515
00:34:45.679 --> 00:34:47.480
almost permitted, these three dispols were
allowed. That's why I was getting a

516
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:53.159
little confused because I'm like trying to
say it correctly. But the two were

517
00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:59.039
granted licenses in twenty twenty one,
right, the city granted licenses to rise

518
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.239
in fire station. They were supposed
to be the only two businesses Menominee.

519
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:07.239
Correct, that's what they said.
Then we're delayed because these other five may

520
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:12.639
parent companies Gonna Loom, Nirvana,
and hybrid Uh file lawsuits against Menominee itself

521
00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:15.320
in twenty twenty one, saying that
they I don't know if they were already

522
00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:22.159
in process to doing things. That's
where I got a little confused. So,

523
00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:27.079
no, they're already open, right, But what confuses me is that

524
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.000
they were basically told I know they
were open. I'm saying they were basically

525
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:37.440
told they were shut supposed to shut
down because of this, yes, yeah,

526
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:45.320
yes, I mean yeah, yeah. It's it's crazy that this is

527
00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:50.760
happening because obviously those two dispos want
to have probably all the foot traffic.

528
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:52.880
But also how big is Metamine?
Is that a whole county? Is that

529
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:58.800
just a city up in the up
because it's just a city and it borders

530
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.719
Wisconsin. I believe though too if
I'm not mistaken. And with that,

531
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:07.079
I mean, you're gonna see obviously
a turf war because that's probably a lot

532
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:10.280
of traffic that's coming through, which
is a lot of Wisconsin people coming through

533
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:15.320
behind their critics and going back.
So this is what gets me confused,

534
00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:20.000
because the plaint is must turn this
court secretlief from the breach the status quo

535
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:22.559
request of media enforcement of the Court's
priorities to prevent further in your harm from

536
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:28.159
recurring. So it's like they were
allowed to open and then quickly got sued

537
00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:32.480
by these people that basically now they're
forced to shut down because alongside the rise

538
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:37.360
and fire station, there's another committee
that was called. Like that's where I'm

539
00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.760
losing it. I can't. There's
this article so long, and I read

540
00:36:39.800 --> 00:36:44.679
it and I'm just it is a
long article. Shots at m I for

541
00:36:44.760 --> 00:36:50.440
the article, But it looks like
you're supposed to be open since like September

542
00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:55.119
fifteenth, right, like and then
you're having the other two companies pretty much

543
00:36:55.280 --> 00:37:01.320
send stuff to the judge to get
these brands to shut down the shops.

544
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:06.679
Oh, here it is Committee to
Stop Unlimited Marijuana Shops. That's what it's

545
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:12.719
literally called. So in response to
like so this is this is God,

546
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.159
there was so much shit going on. So they the losing marijuana companies meaning

547
00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:21.960
the other ones that didn't go through, appealed and convinced the majority of the

548
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.199
Menominee City Council to accept settlement agreement. The agreement would award the five company

549
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:31.039
as well as six businesses that threatened
litigation licenses. It also allowed unlimited marijuana

550
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:36.840
license in the future and guarantee Monomi
would not occur any legal costs that might

551
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.360
arise from the acceptance of the settlement. The marijuana companies would then pay any

552
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:43.800
legal fees. So basically, because
of the settlement was basically like all right,

553
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:45.920
since you guys were already like doing
the going through the process, we're

554
00:37:45.920 --> 00:37:51.920
gonna let you have licenses. But
after basically getting those license approved, so

555
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:54.159
they was like only those two could
happen, So only Rise and fire Station.

556
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:58.679
Then they those dispos were like,
hey, we're already like in process.

557
00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.639
You know, we thought again licenses, So I fine, we did

558
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:05.440
kind of say that we'll let you
get your license these Now the other two

559
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:08.280
went back to court to sue them
or like to do this to appeal.

560
00:38:08.400 --> 00:38:13.840
In response to the settlement, Rise
and fire Station funded a balance effort by

561
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:17.679
the Committee of Stop Unlimited Marijuana Shops
with the attent of allowing voters to possibly

562
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:22.639
reverse the new Settle plan. But
it came this. It obtained their required

563
00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:24.880
signatures to get the question on the
ballt which is what was needed. Now

564
00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:28.360
here's the loophole. This is why
I was like really trying to make sure

565
00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:30.719
I worded it right. I was
getting a little lost because it was multiple

566
00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:32.800
times in court. See like they
went multiple times. That's why I was

567
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:37.519
like confusing for my brain. Now
they found a loophole to block the public

568
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:43.679
vote. They did this by the
repeal the settlement ordinance. They basically got

569
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:47.159
the past six to three, which
is almost an exact duplicate of the original

570
00:38:47.239 --> 00:38:52.119
version that the original court was about, but the settlement was about. But

571
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:58.639
in this second time around, the
new version contained a fifteen thousand dollars funding

572
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:04.480
for the police department and because of
how the Menominee City like charter like ballot

573
00:39:04.519 --> 00:39:09.199
works. It bans refermendums on ordances
that include agency funding, so it made

574
00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:14.519
the change. The change made the
new ordance like remendom proof. So basically

575
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:21.639
once it failed, it was like
done. So they basically went back and

576
00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.920
we're like, no, we were
going to make sure that you guys don't

577
00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:28.760
even get a chance to bring this
to the public. So the committee to

578
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.760
stop on the a mice chop rise
and the fire station that sued over the

579
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:36.039
claims of the violated the Opens Meetings
Act. While taking the actions as avert

580
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:42.639
Revenderment continued to plan to add six
new shops. So that's what I'm saying.

581
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:44.599
It's kind of hard to follow,
but there's a lot of back and

582
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:47.519
forth with court with like you said, it's a turf war essentially just a

583
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:53.519
legal turf war. So these dispenseries
then have to close for good. Are

584
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:57.360
they gonna fighting this? Well,
this is what it's This is why.

585
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:01.000
Yeah, we have Judge Berlin when
I have ordered Loom Nerva and Higher Love

586
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:05.599
close unless she was satisfied that the
store disobeyed her orders in the city was

587
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:07.960
not moving to close them, said
Cox. So I think Cox is the

588
00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:14.400
representative of the of Rise or of
fire Station. It was one of the

589
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:20.199
other ones. So I I can't
tell if it's just fees basically like fees

590
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.039
until they shop like a a fee
the bay, or they're shut down.

591
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.079
It sounds like they're shut down for
at least two weeks and then from there.

592
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:28.920
I don't know if it's like you
can open with fees or you just

593
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:31.880
can't open. That's where I was
trying to misunderstood, but essentially it sounds

594
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:37.880
like they're closed for now. Interesting. I mean, I don't feel bad

595
00:40:37.880 --> 00:40:45.519
for loom. I just it's not
that I feel bad than Nirvana if they

596
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:46.920
if they went through all these legal
hoops and built a fucking place. To

597
00:40:46.960 --> 00:40:50.599
me, it's like, okay,
forget the name, Like I know how

598
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.519
we feel about any of these companies, like whatever, right, but just

599
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.920
just to be told like, hey, you know you're gonna get you're you're

600
00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:59.199
able to get a license in this
Because it sounded like they were okay with

601
00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.519
whatever amount of dispos and then they
ownlimited it back to two. They repealed

602
00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:06.440
it, got those six They're okay, we got our approval and they're like,

603
00:41:06.480 --> 00:41:07.280
no, no, no, you
already told us we were the only

604
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:10.320
two will take you to court,
and they basically just reminded it. So

605
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:14.960
that's why I don't understand. Did
the dispos just assume they were gonna be

606
00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.719
able to get a license and start
building or were they like almost promised that

607
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:22.800
like a license, but it wasn't
official. And that's the big thing is

608
00:41:22.840 --> 00:41:24.199
like just because you're told, hey, you were gonna allow dispos here,

609
00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:29.320
doesn't mean they're gonna allow dispos there. You know, yeah, yeah,

610
00:41:29.719 --> 00:41:32.920
the government can change my any moment, like until it's like stamped by like

611
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.400
everybody. Like so I guess,
And that's why, sorry I got confused.

612
00:41:37.480 --> 00:41:39.320
After a couple of dabs, I'm
like, fuck. So it was

613
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:43.960
just that's a lot of shit going
on just to basically keep control. But

614
00:41:44.000 --> 00:41:46.679
you bring up the most valid point
of the whole thing being so close to

615
00:41:46.719 --> 00:41:52.639
Wisconsin, like that's all that couldn't
be like a lot of like traffic for

616
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:58.199
you, Like yeah, because who
knows when Wisconsin is going to go legal?

617
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:01.639
Right, because well and because you're
not going to drive to Detroit,

618
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:05.599
like it's not like see when you're
coming from Ohio, I feel like you

619
00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.079
have like a little bit of a
range because there's a lot of discos along

620
00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.280
that border. Or if you feel
like driving that extra hour, you can

621
00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:15.719
just go to Detroit. Google mentam
for me, Just just google it.

622
00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:19.800
Just just google it. Why I've
been up there and a lot just not

623
00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:22.159
a long time. Why am I
googling it? Dude? It is literally

624
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:28.039
right next to Wisconsin. It battles
Wisconsin like it's literally on the border.

625
00:42:28.119 --> 00:42:35.360
That is hilarious. And it's this
population of eighty four hundred people. It's

626
00:42:35.400 --> 00:42:38.360
still pretty decent amount of people.
I mean, I know, I know

627
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:42.239
it's not a lot, but when
I picture up north, I still come.

628
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.119
My dad comes from a town that
still has like sixty hundred people.

629
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:52.360
So that is just wild to me
because you're getting all that Wisconsin traffic right

630
00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:59.480
there and off of one to eighty
and sixty four and forty one, all

631
00:42:59.480 --> 00:43:04.800
those three go right into Menome,
right. Yeah, yeah, you literally

632
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:09.679
are right there. Huh that trans
right it but into well washed like a

633
00:43:09.719 --> 00:43:19.079
hawk forty one. Yeah. Ah, I mean it's just weird. But

634
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.800
dang man, no, man,
that's shit crazy. But that's great.

635
00:43:22.840 --> 00:43:27.000
That makes sense though. Whole why
though two or like the most south because

636
00:43:27.000 --> 00:43:30.119
when you look at when you really
look at and actually know, I haven't

637
00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:34.679
been Menomine. I'm thinking of Marquet
and there's a lot of ms up.

638
00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:38.639
Okay, so I've never whatever.
That's actually what I didn't realize how close

639
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:42.440
it was to actually green Bay.
That's the big thing too. It's green

640
00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.719
Bay is when it Wisconda's biggest city. So that's that's money right there.

641
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.119
Oh ship, I didn't even realize
that. Yeah, what I'm saying,

642
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:51.280
like, that's why they fought so
hard, Like no, no, no,

643
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:59.719
we're gonna be raking in money for
a while. Sorry, that's why

644
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:04.400
I said, I don't. I'm
not. It's weird, like from a

645
00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:07.920
business standpoint, you get what they're
doing. Get what they're doing. They

646
00:44:07.960 --> 00:44:09.280
were told they were supposed to be
the only dispos and then you go along

647
00:44:09.320 --> 00:44:13.360
and say that they were gonna allow
more dispos in that small of a town.

648
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:16.960
You're fucking with someone's money. Of
course they're gonna do whatever legally they

649
00:44:17.000 --> 00:44:21.880
have to do. It's just also
a bummer that it's like cannabis against cannabis,

650
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.880
you know, but that's business.
I don't know, that's like,

651
00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:31.119
that's tough for me. I feel
like you see that happen unfortunately in the

652
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:34.719
industry, because everyone wants a part
of that pie. Right. We saw

653
00:44:34.760 --> 00:44:37.480
it all on that bottom remember at
the bottom strip of Michigan. There was

654
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:42.480
a bunch of dispos fighting for that
territory and those billboards and everything. Because

655
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.079
we don't want to act like it's
not true. But like a good businessman

656
00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:49.480
knows what's happening, Like you know
where your ideas are. Yeah, Indiana

657
00:44:49.559 --> 00:44:53.800
is completely illegal there just medical like
you bad, you're got you got two

658
00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:57.280
of them. You got Indiana,
who's like never going to go legal.

659
00:44:57.360 --> 00:44:59.920
I mean not never they are because
I think they're actually talking about it finally,

660
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.280
but you have a state that's like
fully against it. And then on

661
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:06.559
the Hawaii side, they just couldn't
get stuff right, so now they hopefully

662
00:45:06.559 --> 00:45:12.119
get it this year. But yeah, I actually you're right. I actually,

663
00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:15.719
for some reason thought menominee, however
you pronounce it. I know I'm

664
00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:17.639
probably saying it wrong, but I
thought it was up higher for some reason,

665
00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:20.840
So I thought I passed through it
on my way up to like the

666
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:23.280
Key and up an insula, but
it's actually down I must have been thinking

667
00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:29.760
of Munising. I've never been to
that part of Michigan anywhere around there,

668
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.000
so I think I've been by Crystal
Falls or Iron Mountain. That might have

669
00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:36.679
been the lowest I've been, but
I've never been lower than that. Maybe

670
00:45:36.719 --> 00:45:39.039
when we went last that was probably
yeah, yeah, days, Like,

671
00:45:39.039 --> 00:45:40.960
I don't know, was that the
only time you've been up to the Up

672
00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:44.159
or one time before that? You
saw I went a kid. I went

673
00:45:44.199 --> 00:45:45.159
as a kid a couple of times
with my mom, but that was your

674
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:51.960
first time as an adult? Yeah, I actually, yeah, it tastes

675
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:57.360
like shit, go up northmore?
No, but no, but for real

676
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.000
though, well again, like and
it's pop up there, like welling up

677
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:02.880
to the Up man, it's like
popping you know, Like, yeah,

678
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:07.679
there are a lot of discos and
fire station. We went to the festival

679
00:46:07.960 --> 00:46:15.719
call by fire station that was called
It's not going on. Yeah. Oh

680
00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:19.880
but now there's Summer in smoke out, Summer and Summer in smokeout' that's the

681
00:46:19.920 --> 00:46:22.840
one you're at. That's what I'm
saying, Summer and smoke out. Well,

682
00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:24.000
I haven't gone to it yet,
but yeah, like we were supposed

683
00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:28.679
to go to last year. We
had Neilon from elevating exotics, So that's

684
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.000
popping off up in the UP.
Elevad East got a couple of dispos so

685
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:37.199
there's a lot of dispensaries in every
major city in the UP. Yeah,

686
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:42.039
absolutely love it, but I don't
like the turf for I think they should

687
00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:45.119
allow them in if it was the
state's fault, the states allowment, I

688
00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:46.840
don't know if they screwed it out, well yeah, but think about that

689
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:51.599
though, Like that's very complicated because
then the two people that you promised license

690
00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.639
to to begin with, who are
doing great business and then probably giving a

691
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:57.960
lot of tax money to your company, to your city, now you're gonna

692
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.840
like screw them over. But then
also those that's my first opinion, which

693
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:04.199
was eighty four hundred. That's why
I was trying to convince. That's why

694
00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.119
I was trying to figure out from
I couldn't understand from that article if you

695
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:14.079
know what, or like I maybe
a misunderstood was were they guaranteed those licenses

696
00:47:14.159 --> 00:47:16.639
or were they just basically building And
because of that like lawsuit, the city

697
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:19.800
was like, okay, fine,
we'll just give you licenses because this is

698
00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.320
too much to deal with because they
definitely don't that's yeah, I just didn't

699
00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:27.639
understand that, like what preluded this? And that's where my heads that too.

700
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:29.960
It's like, who's the one that
messed up here? Because that's what

701
00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:31.800
the side I might land with my
opinion on, So I'm curious. We'll

702
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:37.360
pay attention to it. It's just
like both sides. But I don't know.

703
00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.960
I think it's dab time. And
then we jump into the Perfect Package

704
00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:45.800
rights an article. No that's all
we got left. No, we actually

705
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:50.960
know we're like fifty minutes deep,
so no, no, yeah, but

706
00:47:51.000 --> 00:47:54.679
the Perfect Package as like, we
just wanted to talk about this because sometimes

707
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:58.840
it varies and the like when we
do our like reviews and stuff, it's

708
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:01.119
very like, I don't want to
say it's variant, but sometimes we'll give

709
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:04.519
an eight or an eight and a
half or a nine or a seven,

710
00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:07.719
right, and sometimes they're like this
different. So I always wanted to I

711
00:48:07.760 --> 00:48:09.360
just want to ask you, man, like what your perfect package idea was,

712
00:48:09.400 --> 00:48:13.840
because to me, I have my
own perfect package, but I imagine

713
00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:15.920
ours are a little different similar in
most ways, but I like, you

714
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:20.519
know, like you always bring up
genetics, right, you know, being

715
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:22.320
huge to you and like for me, like as much as that is important,

716
00:48:22.360 --> 00:48:24.440
I usually just google it, but
you're like, that should be right

717
00:48:24.480 --> 00:48:29.079
there because if you see it,
the convenience of knowing you like one of

718
00:48:29.079 --> 00:48:32.199
those strange genetics and it hits well
for you, Like it's beautiful. And

719
00:48:32.239 --> 00:48:36.000
we always talk about wanting to list
terpene so you can at least get an

720
00:48:36.039 --> 00:48:38.519
idea of how the flavors should taste
if it's smoked, if it was growing

721
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.440
correctly, right you see, oh
hey it's got let me knee baby care

722
00:48:42.440 --> 00:48:46.079
offleen, And you're you're hitting all
my point right, Well, no,

723
00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:49.599
I'm just trying to say, like, but like what would be the like

724
00:48:49.639 --> 00:48:52.159
you know, what's what's most important
you to like, what's the least important

725
00:48:52.159 --> 00:48:55.480
you when you're looking at a package? So I guess I was just trying

726
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:58.639
to start with two things that I
know we have in common, that we

727
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:06.079
like, wish and hopefully an yeah
yeah, absolutely take notes companies. I'm

728
00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:07.880
just kidding. You don't have to
take notes. Do what you want,

729
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:15.119
uh well, grade at how we
want uh to two points. What I

730
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:19.880
hate is when you just put t
c percentage, not even CBD percentage to

731
00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:25.320
test eight because that's mandatory product I'm
like, all right, really real,

732
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.480
real, real cool there. I
know, sometimes it just happens. We

733
00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:35.239
can't really. Yeah, but you
can't count strain name or like with the

734
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:39.400
date it was produced and stuff,
because like that that's mandatory. So I'm

735
00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:42.840
saying, I'm saying, when you
have that, it becomes just basic to

736
00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:45.960
us. Now, what I prefer
if I was like, oh, this

737
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:50.719
is like kiss kiss, like you
know what I'm saying, it would be

738
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:54.719
lineage of the strain because I want
to know the lineage because that is some

739
00:49:54.800 --> 00:50:00.800
of my favorite. Then second would
be terpenes. I love knowing the terpenes

740
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:05.000
because then I know the flavor,
the smell before you go to MLA fars.

741
00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:07.039
Let me finish, because there's just
pretty much. I was gonna say,

742
00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.559
this is probably one of my better
ones that I've seen, but keep

743
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:15.559
going. They have They even have
the breeder of it, which is opposite

744
00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:17.559
like when you have the breeder who
bread that seeds, and then you have

745
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:21.280
the and then you know the cultivator
because that's the brand, and then on

746
00:50:21.320 --> 00:50:23.599
top of it breaks down the strains. You can't beat that. Terpenes.

747
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:30.159
I'd like to have like top FREEVORC
for you and then if you have photos

748
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:32.679
of the flavors and taste, that's
even uposit like how Element does on their

749
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:37.000
packaging. They have flavors or symbols. And yes there are partners, but

750
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.440
listen, we fell in love with
this before we even knew them, like,

751
00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:45.440
and that's what made has brought.
This is one of the best packages

752
00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:47.119
ever. It brings up everything in
candidate. I love the fact that he

753
00:50:47.159 --> 00:50:51.000
brought up the pictures with Element.
It's also with them. Element might have

754
00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:52.800
been one of the first ones I
saw, but that because if you don't

755
00:50:52.840 --> 00:50:55.400
understand what lemonine is, baty carre
afeling is, you can see a picture

756
00:50:55.440 --> 00:50:59.000
and understand. My last thing,
My last thing I want to say,

757
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:04.000
sorry sorry, is a dark container. Oh that's good. So that was

758
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:07.440
good. So the flower and concentrates
are good. And bank they hit it

759
00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:10.320
like I mean, it's almost like
they hurt us because like we cannect it.

760
00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:13.840
And that's what's funny. We always
laughed about that before and again now

761
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:15.639
are they are our partners and we
love working again shut out at my love

762
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:17.840
flower. Yeah. I think honestly, they have the best packaging in the

763
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:22.079
game with it. I mean,
it's in a nice because this is my

764
00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:27.840
end this and they have a nice
little saying hold on so they have a

765
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:30.440
nice saying that says slow cured hand
trim, never remediate it. And now

766
00:51:30.559 --> 00:51:35.480
this is something I want to bring
up and use their example because don't they

767
00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:39.320
hit all the points that we love. But like having that on your package

768
00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:43.119
is a flex right now, and
I think if you get ahead of it

769
00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:46.760
before it becomes mandatory, then it's
really shows how coffee you are in your

770
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:50.159
product. So I think the remediation
is the one thing I want to bring

771
00:51:50.239 --> 00:51:53.159
up with the Perfect Package is I
think if you just showed those little details

772
00:51:53.199 --> 00:51:59.960
of things, it's gonna go a
long way. Agreed. Agreed, man,

773
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:02.199
I mean they honestly hit it.
They got like the perfect package,

774
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:06.639
like they hit, they hit on
everything. Obviously that's main that's good for

775
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:09.239
flower, right, but I want
that for concentrations well, and that's why

776
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:13.920
I'm all that maybe you put a
QR code that goes to the terpenes and

777
00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.840
then that showcases to the top percentages, and then that also showcases different flavors

778
00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:20.920
as well. I've seen on some
of these tests what it could taste like.

779
00:52:20.960 --> 00:52:22.400
So I mean then you're hitting two
things right there. I do like

780
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:25.639
the QR codes. I love the
QR codes because, like you know,

781
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:29.360
you can get all the information,
you get more information. My issue is

782
00:52:29.400 --> 00:52:30.760
then what if you don't have a
phone on you, like you know,

783
00:52:30.800 --> 00:52:32.679
I mean, it's just kind of
nice to to look at it and be

784
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:36.519
like, all right, here's my
facts. So I definitely think the QR

785
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:39.320
genius. I love the QR code. I'm not saying I don't. I

786
00:52:39.320 --> 00:52:43.280
think the QR code is great.
I think it's super convenient. I just

787
00:52:43.280 --> 00:52:45.199
think that there's something there's nothing that
compares to just being like, here's your

788
00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:47.760
facts, you know what I mean, and you're right there, and with

789
00:52:47.800 --> 00:52:51.320
a pre roll you can't fit all
that shit on there. So the only

790
00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:54.360
thing you can do is a QR
code. So unless you have a like

791
00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:58.280
seven times, but then that's becoming
a waste in my opinion, for like

792
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:00.400
a one print roll. But there's
to be though. You needed that though

793
00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:05.119
for that donut though that was not
all that was for some reason, all

794
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:07.719
them around me, I really didn't
even plan on this. While we're talking

795
00:53:07.719 --> 00:53:12.320
about packaging and almost that that seven
to ten donut slabs. Yeah, the

796
00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:15.360
thing is that back to this don't
well to the the packaging was all right,

797
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:17.519
and it was like it had a
lot of stuff that we want on

798
00:53:17.599 --> 00:53:22.039
here, right treated genetics. I
like that it tells you kind of like

799
00:53:22.199 --> 00:53:27.679
that what the rat waxes and what
the flower is. But again, you

800
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:30.880
know, like you know, then
it starts going down to like little just

801
00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:36.280
like marketing things like colors and design
and what is it too bulky? Is

802
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:37.760
it bulky? Is it is it
too? Is it perfect? You know

803
00:53:37.760 --> 00:53:40.320
what I mean? Things like that
is where you start getting those bonus points

804
00:53:40.320 --> 00:53:45.840
in packaging. But I think they
would be dope too. Yeah, I'm

805
00:53:45.880 --> 00:53:47.400
surprised we haven't seen that take off. And I don't know if that's maybe

806
00:53:47.440 --> 00:53:52.719
just durability or lifespan of the products
or what because we've seen them at mj

807
00:53:52.840 --> 00:53:54.800
biscom, but we never really see
those take off. I bet should they

808
00:53:54.840 --> 00:54:00.639
lose terps or it probably does something
to the concentrate. It's for the flower,

809
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:01.599
It would have to, because that's
actually a good opinion because why is

810
00:54:01.599 --> 00:54:07.159
everyone sticking to my lar? And
then like a different I great point though,

811
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:08.840
man, that would be a perfect
packaging. That's the next step is

812
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:12.360
uh, you know, being able
to throw out a pre roll container and

813
00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:15.800
like hopefully know that it's not ruining
the environment right right, because the cannabis

814
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:22.320
does have a specific well pre roll
specifically man and disposable cars. Man,

815
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.719
all these cars everything is nowadays,
those are waste. That's true. I

816
00:54:25.800 --> 00:54:29.440
was sticking away containers. I'm like, well you could reuse containers. Yeah,

817
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:30.280
I got, I got what you're
saying. No, that makes sense,

818
00:54:30.400 --> 00:54:34.360
I know. I mean we did
expand it because we're talking about packaging,

819
00:54:34.440 --> 00:54:37.239
but we do have a big waste
within the industry as a whole,

820
00:54:37.239 --> 00:54:39.880
and that's something that eventually, hopefully
there's something that we can do, anything

821
00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:44.719
that you think make a better package, like anything that's missing right now,

822
00:54:49.280 --> 00:54:53.679
anything that is missing obviously, if
we if there was flabonoids, if anything's

823
00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:57.679
like that, we could put on
the packaging more cannabinoids, if there's more

824
00:54:57.719 --> 00:55:01.360
CBG instead of just always see D
because I think CBDs like the most common

825
00:55:01.360 --> 00:55:07.920
you see. Obviously, some of
these plants do have other other cannabinoids in

826
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:13.320
it, so seeing more of that
honestly my favorite thing. Like the future,

827
00:55:13.679 --> 00:55:16.440
I think like like am i lafar, I'll take them, for instance,

828
00:55:16.519 --> 00:55:22.039
their guava juice or their bowser any
any when you have a staple strain

829
00:55:22.119 --> 00:55:23.880
within your brand, I truth,
this is I don't know. This is

830
00:55:23.920 --> 00:55:29.400
probably what I would do. I
would build a custom I build you'd have

831
00:55:29.400 --> 00:55:30.599
a website, right because every brand
has a website. I would hope,

832
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:35.599
especially with social media, you want
to have a website. So I would

833
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:37.960
build a custom landing page with a
QR code on the packaging, and you

834
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:42.360
would just label everything in it.
You would have the strain name, the

835
00:55:42.400 --> 00:55:45.760
breakdown of the strains. I would
have a description of how you're gonna feel.

836
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:50.199
Is it concentrate, is it flour. You might feel this with concentrat,

837
00:55:50.239 --> 00:55:53.559
you might feel this with flour.
Because you're giving them all the information.

838
00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:55.840
You can include the terpeens, you
can include the pictures. You can

839
00:55:55.880 --> 00:56:00.599
even include photos of the product if
you want to see it there too,

840
00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:02.559
like the whole landing page on it. That would be my ideal. That'd

841
00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:05.760
be the ideal. Take them all
to your website because once they fall in

842
00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:07.480
love with that, I think in
general, you're gonna want to go check

843
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:10.360
out all the other people do like
that. You've seen people do that.

844
00:56:10.599 --> 00:56:14.119
It's it's very because then you can
get to know the product on a deeper

845
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:15.960
level, you know and stuff.
Yeah, that's like the next level because

846
00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:19.559
you just more of a description at
that point because like everything else after that,

847
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.519
you'd be pretty much ready labeled,
like one by one by one by

848
00:56:22.559 --> 00:56:25.039
one by one. I do like
description how you feel and maybe like you

849
00:56:25.119 --> 00:56:28.199
know that type of stuff. I
like that. I like that a lot.

850
00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:30.360
But I think you're right. I
think nail on the head is a

851
00:56:30.360 --> 00:56:32.280
lot of the past stuff on the
patching has been hit, but for some

852
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:36.199
reason some people don't want to do
it. And it may be because they're

853
00:56:36.239 --> 00:56:38.599
not hitting the numbers where they can
flex or whatever. But it's like,

854
00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:45.719
you know, I still feel like
as a user and what you're consuming,

855
00:56:45.760 --> 00:56:49.400
you the more you give, the
more trust that consumer is going to give

856
00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:52.119
to your company. Dude, right
on the heat on that man, especially

857
00:56:52.119 --> 00:56:55.519
with cannabis. As it's a beginning
to still grow, Like you're trying to

858
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:59.679
get that repeat customer, right,
because once you get that repeat customer,

859
00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:02.719
you know that your product's going to
sell at X, Y and Z shops,

860
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:07.800
you'll be able to deliver this amount. You start needing more product when

861
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.039
you're not giving that, especially when
you're not giving that to the customer,

862
00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:13.679
and they're going to try a bunch
of different brands like Little Wins like that

863
00:57:13.880 --> 00:57:16.199
are things that can might keep a
customer. Right, the more information you

864
00:57:16.239 --> 00:57:20.760
give them never remediated, right,
Like some of that stuff stands out to

865
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:22.880
people, but some of it might
not. And then the basic brands,

866
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.000
they're always going to be there,
right, some of them, and they'll

867
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:28.679
be able to still get a little
bit of a pie. But I think

868
00:57:28.679 --> 00:57:30.440
you want to make a name for
yourself, and I think education and giving

869
00:57:30.440 --> 00:57:35.159
as much information to the consumer as
possible is gonna be key to keeping that

870
00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:38.960
lifetime value or that repeak customer.
Yeah, how many times I think,

871
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:43.480
like a restaurant that cooks you a
great steak or a great food, you

872
00:57:43.519 --> 00:57:45.920
trust their chef. You're going to
go there, right, You're gonna continually

873
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:50.119
go there because you've had a great
experience. Buying cannabis should be a great

874
00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:52.079
experience. That's why we talk about
the entrage buck. That's why we talk

875
00:57:52.119 --> 00:57:57.920
about cannabinoids and terpenes, because you
want that youbout that experience when you're smoking

876
00:57:57.960 --> 00:58:00.920
it, that enjoyable moment. Not
everyone smokes like, Yeah, you bring

877
00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:05.280
up food and that's actually a great
analogy because it's like almost like going to

878
00:58:05.320 --> 00:58:09.800
a place where they're like it's a
sirloin steak versus like this is a wago

879
00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:15.559
blah blah blah. You know,
it's a very descriptive specific age for thirty

880
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:20.119
six hours. Like yeah, right, that's a good analogy because that is

881
00:58:20.159 --> 00:58:22.880
the difference. But that's how the
difference. You got to look at productause

882
00:58:22.880 --> 00:58:24.079
some weed is just shit, I'm
trying to smoke, and some shit is

883
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.480
like, you know, that next
level, And like I think everyone wants

884
00:58:28.519 --> 00:58:30.920
to be that next level and put
the marketing out like they're that next level,

885
00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:36.119
but it's that's not where everyone's at. Yeah, And I think in

886
00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:37.119
general, I think a lot of
the brands that put time and effort to

887
00:58:37.159 --> 00:58:39.519
the packaging and they really care about
the product as a whole, and you

888
00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:43.440
tend to see that within the end
product itself, right, I mean because

889
00:58:43.480 --> 00:58:45.920
when you're putting seeing that overdoing these
reviews over time, that the people who

890
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:50.400
do put a little bit more detail
into their you know, not always though,

891
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:53.079
there are there are those people who
I talk shit, I'm just like,

892
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:57.119
oh, you know, you just
flashy marketing, flashy packaging like and

893
00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:00.559
instance ends up being booth. But
like, I think you're right when someone

894
00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:02.000
puts into that, like I want
to be unique. I want it to

895
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:05.960
look like this, Like they have
a vision. I think they care about

896
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:10.559
their product because they it's closer to
their heart. Yeah, less to their

897
00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:15.719
wallet. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I agree with pointed at

898
00:59:15.719 --> 00:59:22.159
you on the screen, but you're
you're over there tennically like I still nodded.

899
00:59:22.679 --> 00:59:29.400
Yeah, I only got one,
so it's just going straight back at

900
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:31.800
you your Texic one. Groovy here, I got three days. I can

901
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:42.800
see three days right now. Damn
sound there's a small little anyways. Yeah,

902
00:59:42.840 --> 00:59:45.480
no, that was today's episode.
A lot of news, like updates

903
00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:49.280
because we have we've been doing other
stuff with the episodes. But there's a

904
00:59:49.320 --> 00:59:51.199
lot of going on in the rest
of the United States, you know,

905
00:59:51.639 --> 00:59:54.440
some stuff going on Michigan, perfect
package. What else we talk about?

906
00:59:54.440 --> 01:00:00.679
I think I'm missing something south By
Southwest going the psychedelics over Cannabis US more

907
01:00:00.719 --> 01:00:05.519
so more so room uh oh.
In the Rochester thing that's being voted on.

908
01:00:05.559 --> 01:00:08.639
The two votes so those were both
happened yesterday day. Rochester, don't

909
01:00:08.679 --> 01:00:12.320
say so we'll see where we're at. Hopefully we can make we'll have some

910
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:15.960
updates for you with Rochester and with
Ohio. Will Yeah. Also, fortunately

911
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:21.039
we're just we're going to talk yeah
sorry, sorry, no, no,

912
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:22.960
we are going to talk about those
two on the weake and make some make

913
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:24.760
sure they're nine am. But we're
also going to be talking about highest TAC

914
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:30.320
percentage with an industry between bud tenders
and consumers, pretty much about her meme.

915
01:00:30.320 --> 01:00:31.360
We're going to bring that up and
have a conversation on the wake.

916
01:00:31.400 --> 01:00:34.639
Oh yeah, we're going to try
to get to that, but we're already

917
01:00:34.679 --> 01:00:37.119
already hours. That was the last
That was the last topic. And since

918
01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:39.760
we didn't get to that, you
guys are first to hear that, and

919
01:00:39.880 --> 01:00:43.039
we want to talk about we were
going to talk about anyways, it might

920
01:00:43.039 --> 01:00:45.679
be kind of cool. It would
actually probably be better to talk about that

921
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:49.199
on a live so we can get
people's comments live and engagement. Yeah,

922
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.039
I'm really curious because this is you
and me are going to have the same

923
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:54.639
thoughts and be like yep, yep, yep, yep, but like we

924
01:00:54.679 --> 01:00:58.440
have different people in the chat or
a bud tenders experience, you know,

925
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:00.719
and I've had it both ways.
I've had the bud tender who's amazing,

926
01:01:01.360 --> 01:01:06.280
and I've also had the bundander who's
just like this is the best THC,

927
01:01:06.519 --> 01:01:09.000
you know, like the highest TC. And then I've also overheard customers who

928
01:01:09.079 --> 01:01:13.280
just walk in there and they're like, what's gonna get me the most high?

929
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:15.119
Like I don't know, bro,
like who are you? Like?

930
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:17.199
You know, what do you like
to smoke? Like on trage effect?

931
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:21.880
But it's like sometimes people just want
to hear bigger number, more higher,

932
01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:25.280
and it's like where it's complicated.
And that's why I think we thought,

933
01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:28.639
to me was interesting because we were
just trying to like bring up a point

934
01:01:28.679 --> 01:01:32.000
that I think we think it's education, especially after all the comments we've been

935
01:01:32.039 --> 01:01:36.280
getting like it kind of some people
are like, oh fact, some people

936
01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:37.840
are like oh no, and it's
like really, it's like whoever is the

937
01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:42.960
more educated person seems to be like
the other person doesn't care as much,

938
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.039
you know, And that's that's sometimes
the weird thing in this industry is not

939
01:01:45.079 --> 01:01:47.599
everyone cares the same, you know. Some people just trying to like get

940
01:01:47.679 --> 01:01:52.400
high and smoke the cheapest shit they
can for the hot best like deal but

941
01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:55.840
some people are trying to smoke that
that Canta guava nava Turpy Dean shit.

942
01:01:55.920 --> 01:02:01.199
You know, I was trying to
you know, some people get really obsessed

943
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:07.480
in Canady, like Gloe's Kobe.
Well yeah, exactly seeing somehing like that.

944
01:02:07.599 --> 01:02:09.679
Like it's like some people are very
obsessed and it's just there's levels,

945
01:02:10.000 --> 01:02:14.920
I guess, And I think,
well, same thing with butt tenders,

946
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:19.239
like right, same thing with customers, right, No, absolutely absolutely,

947
01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:22.320
And it's just a pensation. I
mean, it'll be a good conversation I

948
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:25.639
have because I can bring up my
buttender experience as well too on Saturday I

949
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:30.440
did. I was buttender for a
while, and it's just gonna be a

950
01:02:30.440 --> 01:02:37.679
good conversation. I don't know.
And if you don't get the joke to

951
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:40.440
that, you're missing our Saturday wake
in Vacas. I'm telling you, there's
