Yo sho, it's going on. Everybody. Welcome to the new episode of
My Caniccast. I'm Canada, Dave. I'm today's episode. It's just me
and Groovy, no special guests. Just coming back, Drew. He's come.
Groovy came back from his trip out and uh, where was it?
Boston and Maine? Were you in Maine? Two us? You're talking to
people, Well, Maine had some corrections. We'll get into that later.
Yes, we'll get Yeah, so we're going to dive into his trip here
about your performances. Uh talk talked to us about the butt out there,
that the rosin the cards, whatever you were able to try give us the
inside scoop on that. Very curious, especially because Massachusetts is legal, so
if you do go to Boston you kind of pick up legal I've been to
Boston and haven't tried their butt, so the price because it wasn't legally yet
when I was there, but also basically, Man, basically was a fun
trip before we left too. So yeah, so we'll get into that.
That's probably we will kick it off with because that was right before you left,
Groovy. We actually went up to Colman, Michigan and visited with our
partner out there Emerald Fire and checked out their growth or the provisioning center which
is connected together, which is very cool. If you haven't been the Emerald
Fire, highly recommend it. It's like first class customer service. Yeah,
Groovy's pointing them out right there on video. And if you're not watching video,
please go to YouTube search my canic cast and hit that subscribe button.
We appreciate it. But Emerald Fire, man, they got some gas coming.
There's settlements. I believe it was that smell really nice. There's one
more too. I mean, there was some good ones then they got they
have a lot of good stuff coming and it's pretty cool because when you're in
the disway you can see it the grow on the TVs right because it's like
literally connect there. So if you've never seen it, you can check it
out. We'll be posting a video actually if you want family vibes type of
you know, dispensaries, this is where you go like they're they're really all
about the community. They're always giving back, they're doing events. You know,
if you're there regularly in the Coleman, I know Brand's gonna take care
of you. So just check them out please. But yeah, great,
and I want to say they're they're live resing cart man. That the cart
that I've been plazing and saying, the memory and pretty good something. It
was a processed by Legit Labs. I forgot I had that soap. So
shout out to Mirking his team over there processing that that stuff is pretty good.
So it's always nice to try some other product that they're actually been enjoying
some babes recently. So it's nice to have on. It's funny that you
said that because like when I went out to Master, just like I wanted
a vape because like I don't know the laws and stuff, you know,
but literally I couldn't. There was no vapes at the dispo I had,
so I was like, screw it. I guess you bought a nectar collector.
I was doing tabs on the street allegedly, but yeah, so it
was yeah, man, you gotta you gotta carts kind of do coming,
especially when you're traveling. I get it now, like, oh they really
do, man, they really do. I did get subjected to me,
so that helped. Hey, yes, what's up, man, that's what's
up. Yeah we'll jump into that, but let's we'll jump over After Emerald
Fire, we headed over to Base City checked out two dispos over there.
There's so many over there. Yeah, but the dispos we hit, we're
like, seriously the opposite spectrum. It was like, you know, a
couple of different buds with selected strains, small small, small vibes, like
really new vibes. And then there was like here's everything you've ever ever seen
on the dispo market. We'll actually be talking about one of them because I
think you have product in that room right there with the cheech and chong on
the back of the shelf my side. I do, I forgot, Yeah,
yes I do. We're gonna be trying some of the yp We're gonna
be trying some of the products we haven't yet because like like I said,
we just got back and when we when he last or when we came where
we looking back from Base City was his birthday right after then he flew out.
So it's been busy, what thirteen days, it feels like four from
points two weeks, right, I kind of lost the days to be honest,
man, Like it's been right feel that. And besides that, we
got some products we'll be trying, dude, Like, oh well you know,
but I got my car smashed into so like I've had some personal stuff
going on too, Like what I wasn't even in the car. Oh yeah,
like crazy, it's been crazy. Yeah. So I forgot the name
of that dispoy went to. But that was on the outskirts of Base City.
And then we headed down Town City and then in downtown base City we
checked out the Remedy how the Remedy Room I believe it is, and that
that that was a pretty cool spot. We walked to it. After we
checked out, I forgot where we ate lunch at? We ate lunch?
Do you remember where we ate lunch at? Or technically barting in the corner.
That was really good. I have to look at the card to be
honest. But this was Jay Brothers, Bay City, North Union Road.
That's where we went. I guess I don't remember it being Brothers. Oh
wait, website stores n Nate Nature's Medicines. That sounds more familiar. It
must just be like the LLC maybe crowd. But you know that you can
do things like that, so yeah, that's cool. And then yeah,
we got Chechen songs eighth of Grease Monkey. And then it looks like we
got a pre role of Cato, which we haven't tried yet. Some Life,
which this is the only two things they really had was this Some Life,
s om Life, and Cheech and Chong like they seriously, that's I
think that's that they were. They were vertically integrated, so they were just
you don't see that much anymore. You see a lot of people trying to
compete with every product you've ever seen, you know what I mean, because
they customers are very well. You would think you would think you would bring
in some other brands that are like top selling in the market, right,
because then that would draw some customers there. Like imagine if you took a
little bit of a loss on some of the products just to get people in,
and then you had your products there people to look at after. I
actually think that's really got to get more eyes. That's like the Walmart technique
or the lower the price to even like they'll lose money just to get you
in the door, to shut down the business competitors, just to write the
prices back up. So that's the one I'm just saying, they get more
eyes on there. Yeah, I'm not saying completely. Yeah, you would
just walk in and you have two products talking like that for me and you,
like when we walked in. Don't get wrong, they were the nicest
people. Their customer service was fantastic. They were asking this question, they
were nice. They even gave us T shirts. They were like some of
the nicest people I ever met. But the thing is, when there's only
two brands and I look at some flow two things will flower or things I
didn't like it. I looked at some of the concerrates, I wasn't a
huge fan, and then we saw the cheecha song we couldn't look at,
so of course the only thing I want to buy is Cheech and Chong.
So I don't know. I think sometimes it's not necessarily the best business model
because I think you're just trying to maximize profits and not really focus on what
the customer's needs are. And like there's nothing against this company, like because
I think what they have is a very quality like like unexpensive product because everything
there was very affordable, Like if you're looking for affordable product, they had
a good affordable product. I just like vote. So I think sometimes like
I might be detered from going back if I know they only have the two
options, where especially Basicity has so much competition. I mean, you're facing
a lot of other people, you know what I mean, So you want
to be a lot That's what That's what I'm saying. It might be,
It might be in my mind, I think it'd be a cool to get
a couple of brands that sell get more people. I don't know how much
foot traffic they get, right, so I don't know anything about their business.
But you're right, they only get a couple of brands. It's almost
like a micro business where it's just their stuff, right but yah, which
is very cool. But you know it's like but they were very technically,
they were vertically integrated. I don't want but either way, I just wanted
to that dispot because, like you know, all though customer services great and
some of the products were cool, and we did buy something. I mean,
I could feel that both of us were kind of like, well,
I feel kind of like I should buy something, like you know what I
mean, Like that wasn't you know. But then, like I was saying,
we checked out the remedy room, which was a dope. So I
really like the interior of that place. That place really had a nice clean
interior. Let me tell you. On the walls they had the Yeah,
they had the most Fifth Age collection that I've ever seen. They had like
every flavor, every one, two three they had. Like that's right because
they had like five or six on each shelf and there was like four shelves
and you're like, what, I didn't even get the Fifth Aged. Yeah.
I ended up getting that what's it called the straight fire gas House Bunker?
What was it? The first one right now as versus yeah ship,
Yeah, I forgot very good and the guy I'm blinking on the guy that
helped us, but he was really cool down there too, and they got
some exciting things popping off that I don't know if I should say, but
I shout out to them. Hopefully they get him opening up soon because I'll
get a fuel and GMO, jaff fuel and GMO. That's why I love
it, Jeff Fuel got me. People follow you already, you all know
how I feel about GMO. It's okay, Yeah, it's okay. That's
what I put in the bless that I putting the donut last night for Kyle's
meta. It was the fucking gas House funk. Yeah, it gas on
gas glass like gas house fun more than I like first class funk. You
keep going your gas class punk. I like that gas class because it rhymes.
I almost should write a song called gas class punk. Gas royalties.
Yeah, I have made zero zero twenty percent of zero is guess what zero?
So there, man, someone bought a song off me last month,
so thank you, my hero. No, but it is it's like just
for like And then like candidate was saying, like there is a ton in
base City. We literally just hit the one that seemed more mom and pop
and then we hit one that seemed more basic. They're just more like they
have a lot of shit. I won't say more basic because I actually really
enjoyed that dispo. And we just walked in right off the streets of Base
City. We just googled the closest. It was awesome, Yeah it was.
And there was one right down the street too, So there's like a
couple of town and we were deadly things. We didn't we didn't want to
go to a discipol we've already been to, like we've been to I think
they had puff up there, so we didn't have. We just tried to
try different ones. If yeah, if if if that was the only dismal
there of course you probably stopped my whole point that it wasn't just pushed to
the outskirts, you know what I mean a lot like if you're in Detroit,
man, you're not. You can't be walking in the central business district
and back. Let me go get some bud real quick. You gotta go
over to like Corktown, right, you gotta get the hell out of like
the downtown area. And what I enjoyed about Base City is that it was
right there in the downtown area because it was okay, Like it normalized it,
right, It didn't. It didn't didn't demonize it didn't make it look
like because that's why I hate it the hole putting all the dispos in one
area, put them all on, put them in the industrial areas, because
you're demonizing the products still regardless if you call it legal, if you still
treat it like it's taboo, it's still acting like it's illegal. Right,
So there's that like misconception that what they're doing was okay because they're allowing dispos
like, no, it's not. You're treating it like it's different still,
you know, like a off. You know, That's why I enjoyed Bay
City because they put it right in the downtown, and that, to me,
that's how it should be. Yeah. No, it was nice to
see it. I mean we literally walked from our phone. A lot of
cities do, though I think an arbor has them downtown. I just think
that Detroit doesn't. Rapids didn't remember Grand Rappids when it wasn't it Grand Rappids
or was it? No when we went to that one in the middle of
nowhere when we went on the west side of the State and Rapids it was
the west side of the Creek Battle Creek. Yeah, yeah, because remember
we had to go to like certain areas and there was disposed and then there
was nothing really good when we walked around. Because that's the big thing I've
been noticing, like when we go on these cities style, like is it
are they downtown? Because to me, that shows like a whole different perspective
because you put it in your suburbs and you putting in your duster are you
putting in your industrial ayers? Excuse me? And you put them in like
the outskirts of the city, Like what are you doing? You're still just
being like go over there, pothads, you know what I mean? And
like to me, that's it may not be as prejudice or as hateful because
they're you know, at least they're allowing it, but it's still biased in
my opinion in some way. You know, so I go Bay City,
you know, Detroit, like I don't know, I don't think they're in
Chicago yet. Remember there was there wasn't it was there one in Chicago.
There might have been a couple in Chicago. They were just super expensive.
There was a couple down that I lie there. There might have been a
couple. Should have them downtown, They should have them. I absolutely think
they should be. You should be able to pick it up right after a
Tiger's game or right before a Tiger's game or Wings game. Piss and you're
going down there before. You should able to be able to consume cannabis.
There should be there literally should be an open consumption spot downtown where you can
be able to go there consume before hitting a sporting event, a concert,
a festival. Because there's so much to hand down the grand pury, Oh
my god, so much. Because even if you bring your own you just
you just you charge twenty dollars after doing with people bring their own butt doesn't
matter you would charge more. But yeah, I know you're one hundred percent
right. But that's the whole thing is Like, think about how many bars
in Detroit get packed before a Tiger's game. Fifty do one hundred, you
know, every bar. That's what I'm saying. But if you just had
one consumption lounge, if you pull one person out of each of those bars
and go to the consumption lounge, you have a successful business. That's all
I'm trying to say. Like, like it's just so funny because you're absolutely
right, Like they're not putting them in the right areas. Say they're putting
them in the areas that are allowing it, you know what I mean,
Like, don't be wrong. Hazel Park is you know, like what is
it? Hot box social? It's a nice little spot, but like at
the end of the day, like it's Hazel Park. What am I What
Am I going to Hazel Park for the consumption lounge? Like that's it.
I'm not going to you know what I mean, I'm not going to Hazel
Park to hang out in Hazel Park. Really no offense Hazel Park. I
just don't really there's not much to do there, right, So my littel.
No, no, not listen. Let me get to my point.
My whole point is that you put the consumption lounges where the people are.
You don't put the consumption lounges where you're allowing because like to me, like
they do private events and stuff. But I don't feel like you're gonna get
the foot traffic, you know what I mean, like the Detroit Like the
foot traffic you would get in Detroit would be stupid. All the tourists.
How many tourists go to Hazel Park, you know what I'm saying, a
lot of tourists go to Detroit. A lot of tourists to have them,
Yeah, like you need to put them where the people are. No,
I'm not knocking hot Box. I love hot Box. Their vibes are right
yeah. Yeah, And at least I was finally open to the public Mondays
and Tuesdays. It's new. It's like it's all right, you know,
it's new, like I don't know new. Yeah yeah, all right.
Well I'm about to take this dab here. So if you're listening, either
sparked that joint, take a dab, maybe eating edible, but we're about
to take quick dass and then we get take the next segment class house funk,
first class one. Oh well, now he's doing that, so actually,
why Dave's doing that? Yeah, straight fire. We had a couple
of their products. This was probably the better one. The other one was
like all right, So I'm definitely curious to keep digging these brands. I
think we're gonna do a review soon. But I do want to shout out
my boy who hooked me up with some fresh hash rising Acapulca Gold for my
birthday. If you don't know much about Acapula Gold, I'm just going into
this right now. Why Dave takes the dab. It's like a land raised
strain, and uh, it just smells really good. You know, it's
like the most beautiful looking hash ros But man, is it just smell like
that old schools No, I don't want to say that the other way.
That's technically not hash rosin there, it's just called rosin. It's not hash.
You press flower, I just press flower, right, My bad.
I'm just I'm so used to calling everything hash nowadays, you know what I
mean. I'm just saying no, no, no, no, correct,
man, you hurt my feelings. Brother. There's like honestly, That's why
I just call it hash all the now because I'm like kind of like over
specifying every single thing about everything, like it's a good hash or bad hash.
If it's really good, I'll describe it, but if it's bad,
I'm just like bad. I'm sick of like you know, Metter, No
it's crumble, No, it's live Ros, It's it's like, dude,
let me look at the consistency. I'll make my own judgments. I mean,
times you bought like sugar and it looks like this, or you buy
batter and it looks like sugar and you're like, I do, just just
stop, just stop telling me what it is. Just say like say,
concentrate. I'll figure it out, like horrible, horrible. No. Before
we juver the next seven thought, I do want to give a shout out
to where other our partners we talked about Hamald, but we didn't talk on
or two other partners. Old School Organics and the team over there. They
got the retro line coming up right there with Groovy putting that on the screen.
My retro line. I mean, they got old school experience coming ahead
band sour d so they have a lot popping off their pea rinks. I've
been getting actually, I've been getting d MS about the p trinks. The
oil line on those Patrins careers. We saw it dripping. We saw dripping.
No I know, I know, I'm gidding people. Our company people
been messaging us on it about that. People have been messaging us about the
drip on it. So it's impressive. It's impressive. So highly recommend taking
on old school. And then we can't forget our other partner out there in
Jackson, which is am I Loudflower Family Farms. They bring the chronic as
well too. They placed first place with the Garlic Cocktail and also the Cushman's
in the High Times Cannabis Cup So groovy's dropping those right there. Shot,
they're their budd is, phenomenal, all hand trimm never mudiated all about the
flower. Highly recommend it. I can't say enough about these brands partners nowadays
because like as we're growing, we're learning how important that is, you know.
And all these people come from legacy like markets and brands and like they're
just like families and it's like you know what I'll call it for the medical
market. Actually, all these brands come from the medical market. They're saying
that, oh, rec market's not like men market. Yeah, it is,
like some of it is like you gotta do your research, don't just
assume research is key. So anyways, I do want to get back in
this pocket with gold just just really unique because of how dark it smells,
and I haven't had something that tasted like this. It's almost full flavored,
but like no turps really stick out. I just thought that was unique.
You know, it's just like full flavored taste like weed, just taste like
the gaja. I wonder if that's because if it's the flower US or maybe
it's just because it's uh, it's acapula golden. It's giving you a lot
of different profiles with it distinguished one. Now. I was trying to figure
that out. That's why I brought it up. You know, I need
to go get a better dab or though. I've been using my audio thing.
So if you want to just enter the next little ariel, it'll be
RB My dude, Well, the next little area is going to be talking
about groovy and what he went out for out in Massachusetts. Like he said,
he was performing and he was able to try a bunch of different cannabis
procts out there at the festival. So I'm curious to get his take on
it, curious to hear what brands he liked the most, what brands he
didn't like, and how was the flower in concentrates in Boston, Massachusetts or
all around Massachusetts and also Maine, because you met up with some people in
Maine at the festival. So and give us the four one one or whatever
it is with that, I want to actually start with the question because you
have been to Boston. So when you went to Boston, was it legal
yet? No? It was he medico, it was it medical. It
might have been medical, but I don't think I don't think you'd go in
and get it there. I think it well because they're just like pretty fast
to go with that dab tool. I'm like, holy shit, I'm a
musician, not an athlete. Fucking you. I'm sorry, man. I
said we're gonna start putting one hundred meter dash. I guess, dude,
just with like give me a da Oh my god, I got it.
I got a great bit we could do. Oh my god. Oh I
like it. I like it. That was gonna say, oh no.
So we were out there and so when you when you go to Boston,
like they're everywhere, like they're literally like not like not like like how Michigan
has them like every mile. It's not that ridiculous, but like every area
of Boston had like a little bit of disbos. You just had to find
it. And everything in Boston's like very tight and small. Reminds me of
New York, you know, like when you go to New York and everything's
really like the sidewalks or small, everything's really tight bricks like. So,
I mean, it was really weird to me that the dispos were like almost
below some other businesses because they were in like the basement business. Damn.
So they actually were legal. When I went there, I had no idea.
I did not see anything legal in twenty sixteen, I wouldn't realize that
a company trip though. Yeah, I just looked it up as you were
talking, because I was curious, like how many have been lego November eight,
twenty sixteen. They voted. They voted it in Well, I don't
know, Well then I don't want to go. Damn. That's kind of
a bummer because to me, I thought the first sales didn't the first sales
didn't begin until twenty eighteen though, so it took two years to even start.
Yeah, it was, Yeah, so did we though I don't know.
So my experience with some of the butt out there wasn't the best necessarily.
I'm not gonna knock the companies per se, but like they was not
the best. Do you remember the rosin infused pre roles that we got out
in Vegas? They were called rove ro O v E Yeah, something like
that. Yeah, yeah, they had those. Those were okay, I
got those. I just don't think they were super infused. They were rosin
infused. But I got two for twenty five They were only like half grammars.
So for twenty five bucks you got a Graham. But for me,
especially traveling, like two half Graham joints, Like I was like, you
know, that's all I really needed, you know, I didn't. That's
what I think. Those half these are perfect for when you're traveling, probably
when you're a tourist. Those are like just if you're by yourself, you're
traveling, Yeah, that's what you have. Bought two of those packs.
We just each smoked one of the don't you know, we're even fine?
Yeah, it was really that that was nice way to start it off,
because like, honestly, the flower wasn't horrible. Oh man, I wasn't
like so rememberable. I was like, oh my god, this is so
tasty, you know, like I don't remember it. But it was like
it was all right, It was all right, you know. I couldn't
really complain about that one. But then I got this flower continue sorry continue,
No, no, I just got some flower that was bummed on.
Man, Like you know them lit labs up or lit lit farms translation,
obviously I grows some into that, right. I was like, I was
like, wait, that's I was like, that's their actual flowers. She
was like yeah, they're out of California. Have you heard of them?
Like yeah, Like she's like they have high THC. I was like,
I don't care. My friend grows them like. I was like they I
think, well, because dude, that's dude. They are still on that
high te high t s push. I was like, yeah, okay,
the whole I feel like I don't give a fuck man, I said,
I'm a hold Trump said I'm kind of into turps and she was like,
ah, but they had turps on their listings. The top at least the
lit farms did they had touch the package? Old Was it old flower?
I don't remember, man, I didn't even I don't remember. I think
it was like four six, five months old. It wasn't like so old
where you're like, oh wow, because I remember I did. Look,
I just don't remember. I think I might have sent you a picture,
but it might just be in the front. I'm pretty sure it was like
I think it was like, oh, like minor lely old, but not
old enough to be like, Okay, that's why it's bad. It really
just I mean, the melon bomb was like the best button that I smoked
out there, but it was still like all right, you know what I
mean, Like I was expecting way better when I saw those genetics, like
because like when you smell, like when you broke it up and you're smelling,
you're like, oh, this could be all right. You know,
it didn't look good at all and I had like that darker look and you're
like ye, like but yeah, it was all right. And then I
got some rosin, which actually I got for a discount, and I thought
this was unique, man, Like some of the live resin batter and rosin
was all kind of valued around the scene. It was like fifty to seventy
dollars for like live resin or good batter, like good looking batter. All
the other ship looked like poop soup that was like cheap, and then like
the rosin was like seventy five poop for you. It was like literally five
ten dollars more. But the rosin didn't look the best. But I found
some rosin that was on sale for forty percent off, so I got it
for like forty five. I was like, let's go. So it was
all right, good consistency. Actually was able to roll a couple of donuts
with it before it got too hut out, so that was all right.
I did a melon bomb join with them. I'm trying to remember the though,
that's what I'm blinking on right now. I have to look at my
pictures the injus, I'm obviously not That's what I said. Was his name?
What's his name? What's that actor? Whoah? Wow? It's like,
you know, and then you walked on the street and it's like,
yeah, what's his name? Christopher walking? Sorry? You got you know?
Oh god? Yeah, And he said it now pictured, that's hilarious
right on alright A minute was like drying a figure out. I was like
that, I know what I'm zunding like I couldn't remember though, Shit,
all right, photos right now, I know I took the photos. I
must have sent him directly to you and not anyone else, because I was
like trying to like, no one's gonna care about this. The day will
So how was the product? How was some of the product at the festival?
Was there? I didn't end up getting the Judge kit because it was
another one hundred bucks and I was spending like a bid decent amount of money.
And the thing is, I went around to the boosts and I didn't
like a lot of the product, just the smell and like you know all
the big smell guys. So when I went to a lot of the boosts,
I didn't like a lot of the smells. I'm really about to spend
hundred dollars on this because then I found out it wasn't just product. Some
people were giving you joint some pre rolls, so we were giving you like
dabs and then the one rosin that I really wanted, Like literally, I
was about to spend one hundred dollars just to get this because I thought they
were giving out a full g or a half grammar that rosin. I was
like, I was spent one hundred dollars and get all the free ship.
That was like really the only product I really liked, and they only gave
you a dab to try it. I was like, well, I don't
want to end up spending a hundred hours and then walking too these booths and
then like not exactly given me what you know I want that makes sense to
try, you know. So I don't know it was. I didn't end
up doing the judge thing. I did walk around, I did smoke some
stuff. Got where was it? Like I said, I tried some stuff
out of the main stuff looked phenomenal. I never actually tried it, mainly
because he hard sold me so much and I didn't like his attitude. So
I just walked away, like I understand your ship was good, and I
was giving you a compiment. And then but this first reaction was yeah,
you should buy some. You should fucking get some, you can actually try
it. I was like, whoa, all right, man, well you
know what I mean, Like, I don't really like being talked at like
that, really, So I was like hmmm. So like, I'll be
honest, man, like I don't need that shit, Like I don't need
your rising. Like I got a good hash at home. I was like,
we do good back in Michigan, you know, so shout out because
his ship was really good. I can't not shout it out. It was
like you could just tell by the consistency the smell. It was like triple
Crown, Triple Burger, Gmo Burger something. It was a stupid smelling.
But I didn't spend it. He only had the top tier, so it
was like seventy dollars a Graham for the rosin or whatever. And I was
like, man, I'm seventy dollars, I know, just on one Graham.
You know. When I'm I mean, I'm buying other things, you
know, like the whole time, you know, I was buying wax.
I bought some like you know, I got some flour, I got some
infused stuff. You're on a budget, man, you're on a budget.
And then he's like, just fly home. You'll be fine. Just fly
home. I fly with shit all the time. You're fine, You're fine,
You're fine. I was like, dude, I don't need to be
hard sold you know what I mean, Like I don't. I was hoping
he could just sell me maybe a half gram or a little bit. He
had lower tiered stuff. I'm there, But then he said he didn't bring
it, Like why is it on a menu? You know? Like anyways,
but like see, this is why I'm saying, customer service goes away
for me, because like you can have fire, but I don't need to
try weed. It's like it's like, fine, I'll try someone else's.
There's other good weed around in the world. You're not like the only person
doing it, you know. I mean, so a lot of good product
out there. There's a lot of good I think they were called like Legendary
or something. I'd have to remember. They were, like I said,
great product. Thought. And then there was another company out of Maine.
I'm playing on the name though. Shit, I know they had some I
can't remember. I can't remember the name right now, but there was some
fight. I'm telling you, They're just must be doing some good stuff in
Maine because the only two people that I was like, wow, this product
looked really good, and I stopped and talked to him for Littable. They
were for Maine. Everything else was like it was alright. You know,
some of it was all right, some of it was like not the best,
but they had some good prices. You know, they were doing one
hundred dollars ounces and like they were. It was it felt like being at
like a farmer's market, you know what I mean, Like, dude,
this was just like out in the open. They were just like selling bud
like at booth. So it was like a big Clouds Pabor events. You
know, it was just a farmer's marker. But then there was three stages
for music. So it was kind of sounds like a good time. I
mean, if you were paying attention to the stories I grew, but you
would have saw some of you're posting the story pretty often. I did try
it blunt though, dude. It was called what do you call it,
uh, caviar blunt? No an offician, I don't, yes, I
think so these were like it was a ham. I think it was blunder
ham. I honestly can't remember. I'm gonna look for the picture. But
what I wanted to bring it up is because it was two grams of flower,
a half gram alive as it and then dipped like literally the whole thing
was Keith as you burned it. It was just like hashing and like,
granted I don't know if the flower was the best, but considering all that
shit was in there for twenty bucks, I was like I smoked my for
like thirty plus minutes. I was just like like walking around, like sitting
at yourself, was like I don't know what to do. Like I was
just like I didn't. I was like, and see what it was like.
But that shit was That shit was Will Mitchell. Shout out Mike.
He was the one with infused productions. Hopefully we get him on the podcast.
I was telling him about what we do, and he seems down.
He actually was out of as chooses. He does events like that like kind
of regularly, and he was the one that organized all the weed stuff,
you know, And that's why I felt bad because he was such a good
guy. That's why I wanted to get the Judge kit. But just between
like to be real, do you guys, I've never done this much music
before in my life. Like I sat in on three different sets as well
as played my own set, and like if you know what a festivals like,
like I was sleeping in my car on very little sleep already, So
it was very hard to do everything, you know what I mean. So
it was like I was just worried I wasn't gonna be able to try all
the booths and really give the weed the right examination that I wanted to because
I was so burnt out like a partying and just you know what I mean.
Well, you were there for the music, not for the weed technically.
Yeah, but it was amazing to see both sides, dude. You
know it's I love when they blend them together. That's like the ship right
there. It's like legacy and how do you even that was happening here?
And awesome of the festivals? Yeah, shout out the Hoiempie camp out right
here. THHD huh you know what I mean? Yeah, man, Like
I just what I was saying. I really wanted to say that all that
because Michigan is like, we're doing it good out here, like people like
and they were like, oh, you know, Maine's doing good, you
know, fuck all that Colorado, California. I was like, yeah,
but what about Michigan, Like y'all don't even know we're doing Did I smoke
Dave yesterday? I was like ridiculously high, like I was like, oh
my god, like in a while, like and then we got gifted weed
a couple of times. Like, so shout out to Ev the best artist
rations person ever so far I've ever worked with. She was fantastic. She
gave me wax, she gave she was giving out nugs and putting free pre
rolls out. There was literally like five six apes just on the table,
like a few apes at a time. Sometimes you know, you just gravit
eight smokes some weed out of it. It was like it was super cool.
So I did try a bunch of bud just nothing really stuck out,
stuck out. There was some stuff that just had like wasn't mister Q or
the Q or something was r right, but nothing like you know, I'd
brag about and say it was like really phenomenal, but like you know,
like I there was like again it's like you're dealing with all these little brands.
Like there was you know this car I got a cart from New Jersey
I think or Pennsylvania, New Jersey. I think they were from New Jersey.
No, yeah, the car was it was called pure Earl p U
R E E R r L that right. Yeah, So that car was
all right, I don't think necessarily. The terp stuck through so much where
I was like, that's definitely girl Scout cookie, you know. But it
was a solid cart, like it ripped, like it didn't taste like garbage.
You know. I couldn't really complain, so especially when I got a
gifted to me maybe happy of them on the podcast too. I talked to
them too. I think about the podcast, them and Mike. Okay,
we hit in the East coast, now we hit on the West coast.
We gotta get to Maine. We gotta find out one of these caregiver events
in Maine, like because like just I just feel like if the only two
representations of Maine were Gas, what's the rest of the main verga, you
know what I mean, Like, what's the rest of the main bringing gas?
Hopefully? I mean, Main's not that big of a state, so
all those states are tiny. Like there was people in all the states over
there because they're oh, I live in Maine. I was like, man,
it's all far away. They're like no, like two hours to a
half hour. And I was like, oh right, Like I forget how
I helped North. I am, you know, like I'm from Michigan.
I'm a Midwest kid. All these guys in New England, you know,
you know, m probably Delaware out there. I just think it's so funny
how like you can go to different states and people think they're crushing it.
It's like, you, man, we need to go to other states because
like it's everywhere like so well. I think every state, I mean even
for me, your home state is like always going to be crushing it to
you, I think a little bit because it's like a new market. Everyone
like talks about it. You see the line you see it means like who's
got the best fire? The best, the best, are the best gas,
whatever, whateveryone's calling it now they see know what I'm saying, Yeah,
zaza? What it was it? Zaza? Yeah? Because it comes,
doesn't zaza? Like an old strain or something. I'm not too sure
in that. Possibly probably I would have guessed, but I don't know.
But everyone thinks they have the most fire, and some states have been around
longer than others, so they're going to assume they have the best. And
until you try it, you're never really gonna know. And I thought Michigan
has the best. I stand by it. Till today. I think we're
still the best. I've tried, Callie. I've tried, uh, I've
tried a lot of different mud in my life, tried some. Well,
dude, we need the country. My big thing about being around the longest
is almost like the mentality that I'm older, so ya, I know more.
No, that is not trying. That is not even true. You
canna be around a lot longer and suck for a lot longer, like exactly
exactly, And it's just it depends on the church was in its first few
years. Yeah, I know they're in year five. I just didn't know
the right brands, you know. Like the big thing is like I just
you know lit Farms, I knew the Rosin was on sale, and I
knew Rove so like I tried that, I knew I kind of stuck in
that wheelhouse all these other things I didn't know and didn't look good like I
didn't get you know, that's where you get comfortable with the Branding is important.
Branding is key within within the industry and as it continues to grow.
So I'm excited, me and you, me and you'll be hitting some you
know states, maybe not this year, but probably next year, so hopefully
you can plan on coming next year. Yeah, you can be the judge
and I'll just do music shit hit. But like, dude, you would
have been good out there. I would. I would have enjoyed it.
There was enough to do with even just there for the weed. They were
selling heavy glass everywhere too, live glass blowing. I mean, dude,
literally imagine Big Cloud just like a little more music infrastructure, because there was
you know, it was on like a camp ground and stuff. That's dope.
That's dope. I love it. I love seeing it nice. Yeah,
well, dude, so like it was on a race track, right,
and like I didn't bring all my camping stuff because I flew and like
I was just gonna hit out my hammock and sleep and granted, the first
two days, like forty eight hours straight, it just rained, so I
was like, well, it looks like I'm sleeping in my car, right,
And it was fine, but there's there was no trees. I walked
around the entire place. There was no trees because everything was cleared because it
was basically an old race track that turned it into like fair grounds essentially.
So yeah, the only place I could sleep was find my Hammock was in
the horse stables where there was like covered camping areas, so I took a
nap in the horse table. Uh, smells exactly like you're picturing right now
you're listening. That sounds sounds fine, sounds funny. It was funny anyway,
Sorry what were you saying? It was just funny to see your reaction
though, because you were like in a sentence and needle off the record.
We haven't really talked once in the last week, so like some of this
is new to me. I thought Dave was dead, Like I was scared.
I haven't told Dave. I called Dave, like there was no response.
I was like, oh my god, that's okay, Like day's probably
like not working this weekend. Dave slept in nine oh man, new phone,
dude, Yeah, exactly. Anything. We fuck this guy, go
to your music thing. I'm Gucci. But it just, you know,
it's funny because like we do talk all the time and talk about business stuff
and doing interviews, and we talked about the day. That's what I mean,
like not see you for like six days. It was weird. You
know, man, these are little adventures, you know, I dream about
where you could come remember my buddies could come and we could do all other
swords of content stuff. But like I'm chasing the stream, man, I
got the jam with so real quick talk about that at my actual side of
it. But I got the shout out with Jason Leech or jam with Jason
Leech, which if you don't know, you shouldn't know. He's an awesome
keyboardist. He does like electronic covers and his own music and improv jamming.
I love it. It's right up my alley with electronic and improv. Like
you know, I do keyboard in sacks. So that was really sweet.
That was like a lifetime. And that jam with Father Figure, a jam
with the funk band the Hot Chalky's out of Massachusetts, which shout out to
Charlie, shout out to a band, shout out their whole their whole band.
That was a lot of fun. I never jammed a funk band live,
so I sat in on like a lot like an eight minute track,
which, man, do people just jam live when you're just like and I
just you know, it was new, it was really cool, so I
just wanted to shout out and Father Figure with the other act shout out to
everyone. All different Father Figure more electric electronic, with like new soul,
with his like funk band was all just you know, instrument jamming, and
then Jason Leech is just something else, you know, kind of like a
big you know. So shout out to all those people, because like I
had an amazing week and like again, I'm ready to be back into it,
ready to do some reviews and get back to it. But it was
nice just telling me man Michigan is doing it all right, like we may
we may give ourselves a hard time about like you know or like you know
when we talk about it, you know, talking about like no, you
know, no probable cause or I mean, smell is still probable cause there's
still some negatives out there, but we're still doing it. Okay. No.
I will respect mass Chustes though, like they are doing those events and
if they're doing things like that, like fuck yeah, you know, because
that means there's a cannabis culture out there and I don't know it. And
That's what I'm trying to say is like I'm not knocking the bud Massachusetts,
but all the week, I'm sure there was some stuff and I might even
missed a couple of boots. They were spread out and everywhere, and I
was doing a lot of stuff, you know, I was really busy.
So it's like I might have overlooked some fire, So correct me if I'm
wrong. Massachusetts, you know, and there might be some people out there
that we just weren't there, you know. Not everyone's gonna go there,
you know. And there was people from the Delaware, West, Virginia,
fucking Connecticut, like New England. They're all in the same state. And
that's what when I was talking to I don't remember what booth, but that's
the one thing that's different than out here in Michigan. Oh no, no,
it's the same. It's the same, you know how like we get
the Ohio Indiana people that come up and sell and do all that stuff.
It's the same thing, you know, it's the same thing. But it's
it's just more of states because they're smaller and they're closer. They're doing the
same thing on the East coast pretty much is that we are doing in the
Midwest. They're just doing it the East coast way, you know, dude,
I think we need like that's why when we went to Vegas, I
remember we got invited to it but we couldn't find I couldn't I forget aligned
with another after party like that other one we were going to with Jungle Boys.
But like, I do want to see what it's like. I want
to know what these legacy markets are like, because that was unique to see,
like the New England legacy market essentially, and that's what I was trying
to say. There was some gas. I just don't think I found the
right people with the record. And again, if Mike was from Massachusetts,
that cat that big ass one thing that was fire, Like I really did
enjoy that. So it's like that was Massachusetts, I think, you know,
so like there is some fire out there. I didn't happen to buy
it, you know, because I was gifted some stuff and like I was
like, Wow, I got all this wax and weed for free, Like
why should I spend more money? You know? So I think plans change
and you get free ship. You know, that'll happen, Like that will
happen. But dude, Yeah, and one more thing, So Dave wanted
to talk about this. This is badass. So someone's recommending that they we
bring it down to a schedule three now do I don't know. I think
It would be more badass and more correct if it was off the schedule lists
altogether. But it's still Schedule three because I don't think it should be scheduled
two at all. If anything, I don't know scheduled three. The US
Department of Health and Human Services has recommended easy and restricts on marijuana, Department
spokesman said following a review question from the Biden administration last year, a k
A. Biden's probably somehow going to start pushing this. This is a jed
going into the twenty twenty four elections. This is my opinion. Nearly forty
states have legalized marijuana use in some form, which means either legal or medicinal.
So there's only ten states that are completely illegal still in the United States
of America, completely illegal with no medicinal use. Right. Obviously, we
know marijuana is scheduled as a Class one, so it would go to a
Class three HHS, which is the Human Health Services recommending it re classify marijuana
to say has a monitor to low potential for dependence in a lower rebusal,
which would put it in the class of academy and into the if merication were
to ease at the federal level that would allow major stock exchanges to list those
businesses, and that would when I read this article foreign companies to mm hmm
uh yeah, it kind of dropped you there for a little bit, Dave.
Can you hear me? I hear you? Oh there you are.
No, you froze for like thirty forty five seconds. I'm sorry. Fuck,
I don't know what to do. I'll just have to cut it back.
I'll just have to edit it one second. Okay, hopefully I marked
it a little bit. Yeah no, but uh shoot, I don't know
if we should run it back or if I should just like edited this out
and then because like you kind of glitched out there at the end, So
I'm not really sure. What I heard was you were you were about halfway
through the article, and then it was like, choppy, should we just
like start it over and resummit nice? I mean, I don't know what
you want to do. I kind of messed up there, like our internet
kind of messed up there. I didn't do anything, but you were just
you were, honestly, to be frank, you were frozen like this.
So it wasn't exactly like I don't know if he really kind of want that
face out there, like it'd be okay if you were like like you were
like smoldering, like like you was like you were mid talk. Like for
some reason, my internets getting real shitty. So yeah, I mean,
do you want to refresh it real quick? Yeah? Go ahead? No
o good, Okay, I mean it might but yeah, so uh oh
no, we're good, We're okay, We'll just go yep. Yeah.
So yeah. The Department of Health and Human Service has recommended easy and restrictions
on marijuana, which would take this, which take would take marijuana from a
Schedule one down to a Schedule three. And this review was requested by the
Biden administration last year, so it took him a year to get to it
and process this and go through everything. And what does that mean in layman
hears for all of us. Pretty much, it means it would be on
the same tier as kind of mean and testosterone with the low to my low
potential for abuse and dependence on cannabis, instead of being Scheduled one, which
is high abuse and medical. I don't mean to cut you off real quick,
but I just did some reading here, man, because I was like,
I literally thought this was a good thing, because for my brain.
I thought it was one, two, three. I did not realize there's
four and five. Just that's my own ignorance here, Like I didn't know
I was lacking that info. I just read it. I don't think this
is still enough. I mean I said it was cool. I'm taking back
what I just said, bringing all back because if you look at this ship,
I'm only I'm sorry, I'm getting a little heated. I'm trying not
to get heated. If you read this ship, I don't give a fuck
what it's on the same Oh my god, how how am I still getting
heated? Hold on, I don't care if it's on the same level.
You look at below it schedule four as Xanax. I was utterly I ruined
my life. You're gonna tell me Weeds still worse than Xanax. No,
So I don't think that's cool. If anything, it should be a Schedule
five. I thought this was going to the bottom of the list. That
was my own. I mean, maybe I knew it and just forgot it
in the moment, but I thought schedule three was the lowest schedule. It
should be schedule five that put that ship with robotussing, because dude, I've
zanex like ruined my life, almost ruined my life. Like I'm not going
to ever say weed is worse than that. I know they're trying to make
it sound pretty because they're like, oh, let's just steroids, but they're
also talking about towing on with codeine and uh yeah and kenemine. Yeah,
so there. It's just to me, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't I want to get heated up. I just happen to read
this and you look at ambient and and xanax and they're trying to still say
those aren't a strong weeds stronger. No, still not accepting this. I
wanted off the schedule list man, because or schedule five. It makes no
sense because to me, there's no way in hell you're telling me xanax it's
better for you than weed. I won't even take it. You can't even
argue with me in my with my experiences, like you know what I mean.
So no, I'm gonna take back everything I said groovy five minutes ago.
Moron ignore him now. So no, no, it's not fair enough,
fair enough. I don't care that article. Hey man, I'm just
saying I'm allowed to feel what I feel right. I'm not saying it's it's
not it's I see what they're trying to do and get safe banking going anything.
I'm not saying if you just said you're not going to share the article,
why, I just don't want to be rude, is what I'm saying,
because I feel like you were looking at me and I was like,
damn, was that a little rude there. I didn't mean to be.
I just like, it's like, it just seems a little silly that they're
saying we is still really worse than pills, really really mane, there's an
agenda. There's an agenda in the United States for pharmaceuticals to stay around bait.
That's what I like about steps of one, which would be interesting because
they opens it up to other stuff. Like I said, it could open
up to foreign trade, with that being foreign products of coming. Okay,
but you're still focusing on They're still focusing on the money that can complete,
not the rights of the cannabis users. And that's why to me, it's
not not not letting me finish. But yeah, I agree with you.
You're just not letting me finish. You're not letting me speak. So yeah,
agreed. Get what you're saying, right, go ahead and see what
you're saying. What you're saying. No, there's there's still people do there's
still people in jail, there's still there's still all these bullshit stuff going on
within cannabis. And they're going to do this. They need to work on
everything else and fix all those problems before trying to make it this happen.
But they're saying this in our steps towards legalization. We don't need legalization first,
we need decriminalization first. So thank you. Yeah, No, and
I like that ending. I'm glad I cut you off because your ending was
better. So I'm glad I got out mine and then you got yours.
So but either way, No, you're absolutely right, because it's just not
enough. We need the full decriminalization because and that's the thing I think I
said. When I saw in the beginning, I was just like, it's
interesting and it's like a good way to base it, but for some reason
I thought it was the lowest tier. So it's just not enough. Man
needs to be off. Or like I said, if you're gonna put it
with robotasing, fine, because then you're showing me that you think weed is
as strong as robotessing. I'll take that, like, you know, fine,
but I will never ever say in my life that is stronger than zan
eggs or a fucking ambient. Have you ever take an ambient try to stay
awake? Yeah, you know what I mean? Do you ever take his
an eggs? Well, I know you're taking danced it's a quiet one,
but I mean to some people, don't The pills might be less if you
just take the recommended dose to see people are that. That might be something
completely different if you abused the drug and then you're abusing it. Yeah,
of course it's not going to be a struggle. But you're taking of zanex
point one O his annex or whatever the hell was the smallest dose of one
and you take that instead of taking a dab. Yeah, that might call
me down and not give you an anxiety compared to adapt. So are the
balance and sides to it. But the point fives are the smalls the footballs
and like to me, there were point two five. So there were point
two five. Know, you're right, You're right, you know I was
abusing. So like there's a real there's a there's a really small dose of
it. So if you if you take the recommended dose, the smallest dose,
then I could see where they're saying it's a little different because that's not
as strong in my opinion, to something else, because like point two five
is no. I mean, I'll see your perspective. And I definitely I
was at a barbers another side the barbershop I go to, someone was talking
about that, like he can take his annex and like he's not. He's
like, I don't understand how people get addicted to it. It's just weird.
It just calms you down, you know. So I know there's that
mentality out there. You know it's my poison clearly, Like I can drink,
and I know there's a lot of alcoholism out there. So like I'm
definitely sensitive to understanding that it's like, you know, just my problem and
also that there's other problems out there that exist that aren't just saying X right.
It's just to me, I personally can't look at this and be like,
actually, because I have I read and saw that Zax was below it.
I was like, I can't say it. I thought it was below
Zax, Like for some reason, I thought zanex Win pills were like levels
too, But I guess they're just able to you know, like you said,
I guess pills to people, somebody take it if you take the recommended
dose with it with the smaller stuff. Possibly, I guess. Yeah.
Like I said, I still think pills are more habit forming, because when
I was doing those pills, it was just oh, this little magical pill.
And now I feel more less stressed. Now my back hurts, now
I can be more awake. I just had a fucking ching, ching,
ching chink of bills, like all of them. So like, I don't
know, I still don't the habit forming is different. But I again,
I'm a smoker, you know, so like what am I gonna say or
dab or whatever. That's why there's no judgment here. If you have any
of those prescriptions that I listed, don't don't ever take offense. Like some
people need that stuff. It helps with people. Like Dave said one thousand,
it's just my poison, so I can't ever say it was above well
weed. But yeah, man, thanks for bringing that up, man,
because actually you woke me up a little bit too. And I think I
did, deep down know that there was more schedules. But for some reason
I still thought that it would be blown pills, especially z annex and ambient.
I don't see that. There's there's multiple agendas. I think of the
grand scheme and things. There's a bigger picture at it. You're gonna you're
gonna crave, You're gonna give it a little bit to the cannabis user by
just de scheduling it, but not fully because it's still not below pills,
which means you could still advertise it as something bad. Like there's so much
stuff that could go wrong. But that's why decriminalization over for legalization. That's
point. Yeah, this is a great episode. It's a great great to
be back and recording. We do have a new episode coming out or nine
ms. Will we go it live this Saturday. Last Sturday, we did
