Speaker 5: just dope as fuck.
Speaker 2: Appreciate trying trying to bring good voice to the community,
Speaker 2: to culture.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you guys are fucking killing it.
Speaker 5: So about me, I you know, started smoking weed maybe
Speaker 5: like junior year of high school, probably like a good
Speaker 5: amount of people junior senior year really just hanging out
Speaker 5: with the wrong crowd smoking weed. And it wasn't until
Speaker 5: you know, maybe like twenty twelve of just you know,
Speaker 5: a lot like groovy story, like trying to really figure
Speaker 5: out what I'm gonna do, just kind of like living life,
Speaker 5: hanging out, doing drugs, selling weed. You know, I sold
Speaker 5: weed from senior year of high school up until a
Speaker 5: very long time, and I think it was twenty twelve
Speaker 5: where I got into a little bit of legal trouble
Speaker 5: for selling weed.
Speaker 6: You guys know how it is. I know you.
Speaker 5: And they tried to get They tried to do everything
Speaker 5: they could depend me. I mean like fifteen SWAT team members.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh no shit, you're like you guys, you guys
Speaker 7: really got a similar head.
Speaker 6: I didn't know that I got raided. I was trapping.
Speaker 5: I never did a crazy amount of trapping maybe like
Speaker 5: uh ten, he.
Speaker 3: Only did what he got caught, but he only did
Speaker 3: what he got.
Speaker 6: But not anything crazy, you know.
Speaker 7: But I know, but like even like nickel and dining, trapping,
Speaker 7: it just kind of makes you feel like, I mean, dude,
Speaker 7: we were hustling yeah the day too, Like that's one
Speaker 7: of our first tickets when we were like eighteen nineteen
Speaker 7: years old, was.
Speaker 3: Like for a bunch of bought and stuff. So that
Speaker 3: was before the raid. So I when you said you
Speaker 3: went through a trade raid, like, yeah, yeah, they.
Speaker 6: Came in, was at your house, kicked my door down?
Speaker 5: Uh we trailer? Yeah no, yeah, fucking well, so I'm
Speaker 5: so I'm back then. I was hustling so much. I
Speaker 5: was arrogant, right, So they came and banged at my
Speaker 5: door in my fucking oh my.
Speaker 6: Who the fuck bang of that month? Dude. So I
Speaker 6: went to the door, swung that bitch open, like what's up?
Speaker 6: You want smoke?
Speaker 5: And it was a dude with like a little the
Speaker 5: lanyard right with the badge on it. He's like, what's
Speaker 5: up you, Tony? And I'm like, so, I just closed
Speaker 5: the door behind me. But long story short, you know,
Speaker 5: I dealt with that. They came in like fifteen deep,
Speaker 5: raided the crib, and thank the Lord, I had sold
Speaker 5: so much of it like the day two days before,
Speaker 5: so I really allegedly.
Speaker 6: So I really they didn't catch.
Speaker 5: Me with barely anything, but they tried everything because of
Speaker 5: how much money they spent. I mean fifteen counted fifteen
Speaker 5: different swap members, and I'm just thinking, like, dude, this
Speaker 5: is crazy.
Speaker 6: A little me, I love me.
Speaker 5: But since so after that, I decided to kind of
Speaker 5: switch my focus and to stop selling weed because that
Speaker 5: wasn't really doing anything for me, allegedly.
Speaker 7: And switched over to like working with music artists.
Speaker 5: And at that time, around that same time, you could
Speaker 5: go buy weed at this place called the Compassion Club,
Speaker 5: the Genesee County Compassion Club, right GC three, and you
Speaker 5: had to have your med card. So this was right
Speaker 5: like twenty twelve when people were starting to get their
Speaker 5: med cards and it was hard to get and I
Speaker 5: remember when I first got mine. I was so happy.
Speaker 5: And I started to work for this place called Lindsay's
Speaker 5: that is now planted in Burton, and yeah, and I
Speaker 5: mean it was a tobacco shop, but in the back
Speaker 5: you could buy weed if you had your med card.
Speaker 7: Allegedly you were Today's episode allegedly the word of to day, but.
Speaker 5: With the actual I worked with Lindsay for a while
Speaker 5: and that was the first person that took me to
Speaker 5: a high Times cup in Clio. You gotta say, like
Speaker 5: Clio is outskirts of Flint and I from Flint. So
Speaker 5: Clio's ten minutes for me, dude, I go to Clio
Speaker 5: off the top, I go see eating eating that ship
Speaker 5: right there.
Speaker 6: So when it was a cannabis event, on that large
Speaker 6: of a scale. Oh were there, bro?
Speaker 5: And I actually, you know, my wife girlfriend at the
Speaker 5: time was doing like cannabis smiling. There was this thing
Speaker 5: called four twenty nurses, like a throwback for twenty nurses,
Speaker 5: and she was doing that and then High Times came
Speaker 5: and they connected with her. And that was around the
Speaker 5: same time I got a job at a Vehicle City
Speaker 5: social and shout out Vehicle City, shout out Josh, you know, shout.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: And so she was working with High Times, and they
Speaker 5: were working with High Times, so it just became very
Speaker 5: natural for me to get incorporated into that. And Danny
Speaker 5: Danko shout out Sean Black. Shout out Sean Black. They
Speaker 5: let me judge, I say, but they get super carts
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen. I remember that ship. I ain't gonna forget.
Speaker 5: They gave me carts, bro, And you got a think
Speaker 5: twenty fourteen.
Speaker 3: Cotton Wick Nasty five. Who knows what those carts it
Speaker 3: was all that.
Speaker 6: Or what, But there was one cart.
Speaker 5: There was one card that stood out amongst the red
Speaker 5: like incredible, one of the best things I've ever tasted,
Speaker 5: and it was Light Sky Farms.
Speaker 3: See that's cool. This guy goes back to the colt.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, And I remember that took because it was
Speaker 5: so different, Like it was so dramatically different from all
Speaker 5: the other carts. Then I was like, who the fuck
Speaker 5: is this? And so I stayed. You know, it's like
Speaker 5: a three day event. I stayed for the last day.
Speaker 5: He won a bunch of awards, so I found him.
Speaker 5: I found his tent, little riky dinky tin. And I
Speaker 5: don't know if you guys watching or hearing no anything
Speaker 5: about the high time stuff, but this was a like
Speaker 5: place where you could come and buy pounds. I mean
Speaker 5: you could just go crazy. If you had that card,
Speaker 5: you could come in and do whatever you wanted. So
Speaker 5: it was a different culture.
Speaker 2: It was so mind blowing my first time.
Speaker 6: They're like, oh yeah, the culture was completely different.
Speaker 5: And that's where I met Shannon, the founder of Life Guy.
Speaker 5: And I asked him right there and said, bro, do
Speaker 5: you have any cards on you? And he's like, nah, man,
Speaker 5: And it broke my heart. And sit there and talked
Speaker 5: for like twenty minutes, and then he gave me one
Speaker 5: of his person He gave me a personal cart, and
Speaker 5: it was like it was like that movie The Inside
Speaker 5: Out where it's like a core memory right, like, I'll
Speaker 5: never forget that because his motherfucker pulled out.
Speaker 6: He was like, well, this is lie, but you can
Speaker 6: have it did and since then.
Speaker 5: It's funny because I've been working with Life Skuy legally
Speaker 5: for about a year and a half, but I think
Speaker 5: I might have been their first salesperson because in twenty
Speaker 5: fourteen I was texting Shannon on social media and being like,
Speaker 5: when are you dropping?
Speaker 6: Where are you going? I will meet you there or
Speaker 6: buy all your cards and I will sell them.
Speaker 3: You're like the number one fan gun employee, bro.
Speaker 5: But it's crazy because it was it was organic, you know.
Speaker 5: It was just the best card, and he won year
Speaker 5: after year after and I judged every year, and the
Speaker 5: more I judged, the more I became cool with the
Speaker 5: high time they would let me Jude flower finally, but
Speaker 5: I still be like carts cars because I remember and
Speaker 5: get me my life sky card.
Speaker 9: I hitting the motherfucker that's still And you gotta think
Speaker 9: this was when a lot of the brands that are
Speaker 9: big big now we're starting and creating the marketing.
Speaker 5: I remember Church coming down with like sixty people from Detroit,
Speaker 5: all supermodels.
Speaker 6: Just like throwing money at this thing.
Speaker 5: Like, check us out, We're huge, right, yeah, I remember,
Speaker 5: I remember those days, bro like.
Speaker 3: But so.
Speaker 6: I was also always is in the corporate marketing.
Speaker 5: So when I went back to school, that was kind
Speaker 5: of my focus is to do marketing. I did corporate
Speaker 5: marketing for a while and I ended up the marketing
Speaker 5: manager or director sorry for a nonprofit. So I was
Speaker 5: the marketing grede for a nonprofit for a while. I
Speaker 5: was like in free after school program for kids and
Speaker 5: Life Sky and them had a relationship and I had
Speaker 5: a relationship with Life Sky as way just because right.
Speaker 5: So when I started, they were like, hey, there's this
Speaker 5: company that we're trying to do something with and we
Speaker 5: never could get it off the grounds called last Guy Farms.
Speaker 6: I said, oh, oh, I've heard him.
Speaker 5: To Cary real quick because Shannon though known fact, I
Speaker 5: saw him randomly in like twenty twenty at the Clio
Speaker 5: Cup cultivation thing at at cultivation Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 10: Across the street there's a store, the store on by
Speaker 10: Buddy shout out Buddy, and he would have a cup there, right,
Speaker 10: And I saw Shannon there one day, just literally laying
Speaker 10: on the grass.
Speaker 6: I'm like, what the.
Speaker 5: Fuck are you doing and he's like, oh man, I'm
Speaker 5: opening up like a grill and a dispensary and burdened.
Speaker 6: I'm like, no, you're not, No, you're not, dude, that's
Speaker 6: five minutes from my house. I'm fucking freak out right now.
Speaker 5: He's like, dude, I swear. So then he calls me
Speaker 5: like a year later, like hey, can you come take
Speaker 5: a picture? So I took their first company picture for
Speaker 5: light Sky Farms because I was in marketing right, so
Speaker 5: they called me to come do some marketing. I helped
Speaker 5: you a little bit of marketing, and then we had
Speaker 5: a relationship. So when I went to this job and
Speaker 5: they wanted to me in someone LFE Skuy, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 5: I call him right now, get that shit done.
Speaker 3: You know. So really what got you? The light Sky
Speaker 3: was like secret, it just happening.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it kept happening.
Speaker 5: But me and Shannon were tight tight so like and
Speaker 5: we still are, but like shout out Shannon. I call
Speaker 5: him like, bro, I need some genetics from my home, bro,
Speaker 5: and be like come see me baby, like you take
Speaker 5: care of me at all times. It's always been my
Speaker 5: big bro. So yeah, they called me one day and
Speaker 5: they were like, hey, we love what you did with
Speaker 5: our collapse, it would there be any way you would
Speaker 5: consider working here? And I was like, I don't want
Speaker 5: to say we bro You know I already saw. I
Speaker 5: got a lot of trouble for that ship.
Speaker 3: I'm different transition back then, I'm Guccies.
Speaker 5: I'm Gucci plus I like the illegal market. I'm with
Speaker 5: the black market, you know what I'm saying. So this
Speaker 5: like corporate lyee ship was kind of weird to me.
Speaker 5: But then they showed me how much money I was
Speaker 5: gonna make. No, but seriously, because my whole thing is like,
Speaker 5: if I'm gonna come, I want to do the marketing side,
Speaker 5: and they're like, cool.
Speaker 6: And you can, but we really need sales.
Speaker 5: And at that time, I had never legally sold weed, right,
Speaker 5: so I really didn't have any frame or reference of
Speaker 5: what that even looks. Like how do you go in
Speaker 5: the store and be like, hey, wanna buy my wheat?
Speaker 5: Like what what are the protocols? How do you show up?
Speaker 5: How do you show out? Like I'm different. I like
Speaker 5: to be different. But at the same time, I've worked
Speaker 5: in corporate jobs where I trained people to sail, so
Speaker 5: I know how they sell, right, So that's what I'm thinking, Like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I worked at General RV Center, so I worked there
Speaker 5: for three years in the marketing department. But we would
Speaker 5: make videos for the sales team, right, so we would
Speaker 5: like have to help.
Speaker 6: Train them and like wa used to sell an RV
Speaker 6: right And.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so about a year and a half ago is
Speaker 5: when I started with last guy and haven't looked back.
Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly, that's pretty crazy because it's such a small
Speaker 7: world that you just kind of kept falling back into
Speaker 7: connecting r They are connected and they honestly right now
Speaker 7: you look at you're both about the light up some lights.

Speaker 11: hash joints.

Speaker 5: Yeah, that's our point seventy five packed, so it's a
Speaker 5: full three and a half grams.
Speaker 6: Most five packs are point five's right, so they're two
Speaker 6: and a half grams.
Speaker 5: We always try to be a little different, Like I
Speaker 5: told you about that four gram can she has, right,
Speaker 5: we could have win three and a half grams, but
Speaker 5: we did four and it's nitro puffed.
Speaker 3: But with the hydrogen puff. We saw that.

Speaker 7: with one of his uh.
Speaker 3: Just one of his roles before. I was like, dude,

Speaker 5: the entire party, which is purd around him, and he
Speaker 5: won't get up.
Speaker 3: They know what's up. They know what.
Speaker 6: I was like.
Speaker 11: So he brings the party.
Speaker 6: Shout out Andy, I love you, bro.
Speaker 3: That's what's up man?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No excited?
Speaker 7: Yeah, so just light sky. We went there. We saw
Speaker 7: your girl. You guys have a a shop there. Anything
Speaker 7: you guys don't do because you were talking about vertical integrated.
Speaker 7: I think we did everything but distey.
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, so we tend to not make this to
Speaker 5: it just because we don't have any products to put
Speaker 5: it in.
Speaker 6: We have the capacity to make. Yeah, we saw, we
Speaker 6: saw it just doesn't.
Speaker 3: So what they're talking about.
Speaker 6: Let me tell you this epic.
Speaker 4: We had a shower before even going to the girl.
Speaker 4: That was the first time and you've seen us. We've
Speaker 4: been going to the girls for a while. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 4: you guys got to go in there with the top.
Speaker 7: I was like, that's how clean it was. Are you
Speaker 7: getting clean? We making sure I appreciate it that I
Speaker 7: respect you. I respect you well.
Speaker 5: A lot of our growers or the people who work
Speaker 5: in the grow our growers themselves.
Speaker 4: You know, you know that's really good to hear because
Speaker 4: then you know that they care for the plan, that
Speaker 4: they're going to try to make sure that they produce
Speaker 4: the top quality because they want to smoke. But if
Speaker 4: they're smoking it, they want to smoke the best button. Right.
Speaker 2: You wanted to be clean. He wanted to be like
Speaker 2: hitting perfect the terms.
Speaker 4: So like, I'm all about that because that's exactly come
Speaker 4: back from you came from the arriacer.
Speaker 6: Every days it sounds like shout out to Dustin.
Speaker 5: You know, our head grower, our grow master. He's he's
Speaker 5: phenomenal at.
Speaker 6: What he does.
Speaker 5: He's got he's got a fire bro. Don't sleep on them.
Speaker 5: They're killing a lot of the enthusiam.
Speaker 7: Ma, dude, Well, because you're talking real quick. The issue
Speaker 7: is that a lot of these things you don't know
Speaker 7: what they're putting in. Is it added terms, is it
Speaker 7: disty like? And like I I I'm all for an
Speaker 7: infused joint if you tell me what's in it. If
Speaker 7: you just say, hey, this is an infused joint, I'm like, ah,
Speaker 7: you're hiding something. But like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 7: Like usually they'll say live resident rasin Like they'll tell
Speaker 7: you what's in it if it's good.
Speaker 5: So, what I can appreciate about you guys is you
Speaker 5: guys are real connoisseurs, right. But you know I'm a salesperson, right,
Speaker 5: so I'm on the fucking ground. And what I see
Speaker 5: is that most people don't care right talking about And
Speaker 5: so then you get and here's one of those industry
Speaker 5: things I was talking about, those like random t things
Speaker 5: I was telling you about. Think of a brand like
Speaker 5: and I don't want to call anybody out, but let's
Speaker 5: say like a cheap infuse brand, right that sales they're
Speaker 5: infused one grams for like five dollars in retail.
Speaker 6: Well, those are four dollars wholesale, right, four.
Speaker 5: Fifty sometimes and sometimes that same store in retail is
Speaker 5: selling them five for twenty.
Speaker 6: So they're selling them at a loss.
Speaker 5: Why because the store next door is selling the same
Speaker 5: thing at a loss and the brand refuses to go, well, okay,
Speaker 5: this is the minimum that you can sell our product.
Speaker 5: So you're creating a product that you don't have a
Speaker 5: high margin on, that the stores don't have a high
Speaker 5: margin on, but that the customers are so used to
Speaker 5: in condition to getting at that price. And now you're
Speaker 5: pitching hole in everybody. So somebody like us who has
Speaker 5: an infused one grand bubble hash infused, it's gonna be
Speaker 5: a little bit more pricey than that cheap stuff. That's
Speaker 5: what we get compared to we get put in that
Speaker 5: same line of like, well three dollars.
Speaker 6: And some change.
Speaker 7: Ye're against like, and especially because if that's what it's
Speaker 7: going to get someone in the shop.
Speaker 3: Then you're then you're losing that whole customer now.
Speaker 2: So they're not even the same infuse though too, you're
Speaker 2: not even closed.
Speaker 5: But that's part of that education that gets lost from
Speaker 5: the butt tenders perspective, right, because the same the same
Speaker 5: way a brand wild just come to market without a
Speaker 5: real idea of what the market is and then just
Speaker 5: have to start hiring people because it's what they hear.
Speaker 5: Oh shit, I didn't ever think about having a salesperson ship.
Speaker 5: I thought I could just go say. I thought I
Speaker 5: could just call Jars and be like, hey, Randam, well
Speaker 5: you're not gonna buy my weed?
Speaker 6: Is crazy?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 6: You know? You need somebody to hit those streets. The
Speaker 6: same thing with a store.
Speaker 5: You can't just hire someone who's never smoked weed off
Speaker 5: the market and be like, hey, can you sell weed
Speaker 5: to customers for me? They're gonna sell what they see, right,
Speaker 5: and you asked me for thirty six percent? How many times?
Speaker 5: So I when I go into stores, I don't, I don't. Hey,
Speaker 5: I'm from lit Sky Farms. Here's some samples I vibe check.
Speaker 5: So I go in incognito. I just go in right
Speaker 5: and if I can tell they're weird. I'll tell them
Speaker 5: straight up, Hey, I'm a rep, but I'm just shopping.
Speaker 5: But I'll go in, I'll check the store, I'll check
Speaker 5: how they treat me, check out they treat the customers.
Speaker 6: It is important, right, It's.
Speaker 5: Not about coming in every store and being like, hey,
Speaker 5: carry my product, good luck. Right, you got to make
Speaker 5: sure that the store is as locked in about the
Speaker 5: culture as you are that you can even sell my product,
Speaker 5: because otherwise I'm just dropping weed off and being like, hey, look,
Speaker 5: let me know how it goes.
Speaker 6: Call me come me next month.
Speaker 4: Hopefully, well you won't be able that they're able to
Speaker 4: push that product too.
Speaker 7: No, it makes sense, honestly, since we're talking about all
Speaker 7: the products you have that demo.
Speaker 3: Let let's do this. No, we have to because look
Speaker 3: at this beautiful look at this.
Speaker 6: So this is this is.
Speaker 3: This is what how they show.
Speaker 7: If you never curios about gettinglight Sky in your place,
Speaker 7: these are some of the demo products.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you ever wanted some really good product, you know,
Speaker 5: I'm Donuts Solving.
Speaker 6: Less, so light Sky Farms.
Speaker 5: We kind of carry a little bit of everything, right,
Speaker 5: I like to start by showing people our program.
Speaker 4: Can I do like the four grand.
Speaker 2: It's nice separate you from everybody else.
Speaker 5: It's nitrogen puffed, vacuum sealed. That just means that we
Speaker 5: do everything we can to freeze it in time. Or
Speaker 5: should I say it's puffed with nitrogen and it's sealed,
Speaker 5: not technically vacuum seal. But I don't want people and
Speaker 5: the DMS like you're not vacuuming it. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: But yeah, as you can see, it's sealed, it's air tight,
Speaker 5: and the good thing about this is it keeps your
Speaker 5: butt fresh and it preserves your turps and it will
Speaker 5: stop your buds from being crushed and.
Speaker 6: Won't degrade anything. So this is how we like to do.
Speaker 7: Our No, it's nice that you take it that extra
Speaker 7: step because, like, let's be honest, I mean, like a
Speaker 7: lot of times it's just throwing in a package, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean some people don't.
Speaker 7: I mean some people think that next layer. But it's
Speaker 7: a key because not everyone knows story, especially when you
Speaker 7: go to the dispatchery. What have they store it wrong?
Speaker 5: So and not only that, but you know with the
Speaker 5: door opening, it's Michigan, it's cold, the thelar is going
Speaker 5: to try out. Oh yeah, all right, everybody's in my lars.
Speaker 5: We try to do something to stand out, be a
Speaker 5: little bit different.
Speaker 7: You know it does you gotta be unique.
Speaker 5: We have our Bubble Hash and Fuse five pack what
Speaker 5: we were just smoking on. They come in point sevens
Speaker 5: of full eight three and a half grams as opposed
Speaker 5: to the two and a half cram five pack.
Speaker 6: I have our tried and true.
Speaker 3: And this is what brought you to the company.
Speaker 6: Live Resent.
Speaker 5: Well not true, so Shannon, the first uh weight that
Speaker 5: he won, I believe was distilled Live Resent.
Speaker 3: Oh oh so.
Speaker 2: It's different formula.
Speaker 6: Now you're saying, okay, so yeah, so what he would do?
Speaker 6: I mean, look how you get this Poco Go Bro's.
Speaker 3: And is good?
Speaker 2: That probably tastes phenomenal taste. This tastes phenomenal.
Speaker 6: Look at some of these works.
Speaker 7: It might work.
Speaker 6: It might work.
Speaker 3: Sitting here for a while.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess from the story he told me is
Speaker 5: that he's.
Speaker 3: A ceramic on that though there's a ceramic core rather.
Speaker 5: Than ceramic core like this half gram, is that it's
Speaker 5: no c r C, no additives, no flavoring. We do
Speaker 5: the half gram because a full gram is gonna give
Speaker 5: you that runoff like you're never just gonna down.
Speaker 3: The ending of cards can be real. Ship.
Speaker 7: That's why I do actually prefer the less because it
Speaker 7: is your ruining point two and just taste it, butt.
Speaker 5: And you know you're not gonna just dab a whole
Speaker 5: gram consistently. You're not gonna take your rig put a
Speaker 5: whole gram in there and keep hitting it, keep hit
Speaker 5: the button again. Bro, You're not gonna do that. It's
Speaker 5: gonna taste horrible.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 7: And actually, you know, I really appreciate the APO of
Speaker 7: Gold because that's like a throwback string, you know.
Speaker 3: And when we were going through.
Speaker 7: Your grow, like, I love that, we saw a little
Speaker 7: mix of new experimenting R and D.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's that new land racer and you possibly have
Speaker 2: coming out?
Speaker 6: Yeah that Pakistani? No, Yeah, I mean, listen, we're super transparent.
Speaker 5: You know, we're working on stuff, and one of the
Speaker 5: things we're working on are land races. So we have
Speaker 5: the guy and the grow who has a connection to
Speaker 5: some of the o G land races. We did Pakistani,
Speaker 5: we did Afghan. I believe a couple of them, a
Speaker 5: couple of them hit the R and D room that
Speaker 5: didn't make it out.
Speaker 6: Remember, I was telling you guys about I was just.
Speaker 3: About sweet that you guys guys take it serious and
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 7: Man. There's definitely procedure and I get just to touch
Speaker 7: in land race strains. If you're not familiar with all,
Speaker 7: it's like they were literally named on the where they
Speaker 7: were grown.
Speaker 3: At it. This is predating all the strange.
Speaker 7: There's somebody old. They are the oldest. God still love
Speaker 7: the carts.
Speaker 6: Yeah a punko go baby. It makes some old guys proud. Yeah,
Speaker 6: smoke breaking the damn you got to sticks though.
Speaker 5: I it's funny because I've always heard about it and
Speaker 5: it always sounded amazing.
Speaker 6: But now and twenty twenty five are like.
Speaker 3: I mean, I would still smoke now. We got donuts, yes, bro,
Speaker 3: and that ship is.
Speaker 6: Shout out Andy again.
Speaker 2: Man, dude, phenomena.
Speaker 5: Man, I know you guys like donuts. I remember you
Speaker 5: guys telling me, be honest, what do you guys think?
Speaker 5: I'm smoking that one?
Speaker 6: So far? I like it.
Speaker 2: Flavor is good, it's a nice buzz smoke.
Speaker 3: You changed flavor in the Rosin hits. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: You get a rosin turt flavor clean as clean. Yeah, oil,
Speaker 3: it passes like, we don't got to do. We don't
Speaker 3: have the numbers.
Speaker 2: But I like the tip.
Speaker 3: I like it. Yeah yeah, it's midnight smoke your shutout.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes you can't get donuts for the it's's just
Speaker 4: not a good flavor and that might ruin it a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 5: But I think the worst is when you go about
Speaker 5: to smoke it and you're like holding it and you
Speaker 5: pull out a little bit and it just pops out.
Speaker 6: The tip just pops right out.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, well dude, sometimes I hate it for a minute. Shits,
Speaker 3: I just walked up rotation. This is why that roller is.
Speaker 7: So important, because donuts can be like you spend I
Speaker 7: bought donuts more and disappointing because they don't hit all
Speaker 7: the way or that it gets like two gooey so
Speaker 7: you can't smoke it. I mean when you're spending sixty
Speaker 7: dollars fifty dollars, I mean yours is forty five, so
Speaker 7: good deal, but a.
Speaker 2: Lot of times they're fifty sixty dollars.
Speaker 3: You if you're gonna spend that much, you want to
Speaker 3: smoke all the way through.
Speaker 6: It was because of the discount. I just want to
Speaker 6: say that it's because I bought it.
Speaker 3: Are you I thought I said forty five on the wall? No?
Speaker 6: Maybe, well, I mean it is thought you got a
Speaker 6: better deal. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know, because you just got to go out
Speaker 2: and check them out.
Speaker 6: Go out and buy these though. Check best live ros
Speaker 6: and donuts in the market.
Speaker 2: Not smoking good.
Speaker 4: And I like when you can actually, like Groovy said,
Speaker 4: when you can finish it and you don't have to
Speaker 4: throw away like a quarter of it because it's so expensive.
Speaker 2: Like that's that's key.
Speaker 5: I want to ask you guys what you think about
Speaker 5: the market as it stands right now? Do you want
Speaker 5: me to show this to open it and with aspect
Speaker 5: like where it's at.
Speaker 4: I mean from what I've heard and been seen out
Speaker 4: there and just in recent news, it's pretty tough out there,
Speaker 4: just because like.
Speaker 2: People, companies are laying off people. That's right, you have
Speaker 2: a big some big businesses are closing up.
Speaker 3: I think it is.
Speaker 4: I think it's levelly now. I think we'll level out
Speaker 4: the next year or two. Like as in a lot
Speaker 4: of the bad players that you're just trying to grow
Speaker 4: to make money, I think will eventually weed themselves out
Speaker 4: because they can't supply and then the ones that can
Speaker 4: like you guys and all the like. I believe in
Speaker 4: our brands that are partner with those like old school Kitschen.
Speaker 4: Like you guys are building a brand. You know, you've
Speaker 4: came from the carrybase. You kind of know what you
Speaker 4: need to do to grow like and be able to
Speaker 4: stay going forward. I got to know your price to
Speaker 4: sound and stuff too. You know you good sales, good marketing.
Speaker 4: You guys seem to accomplish that. And you guys have
Speaker 4: been around forever too at the street credit. That's that's
Speaker 4: something that helps as well too. Some brands that just
Speaker 4: came into market in my opinion, and just started growinging
Speaker 4: like I just want to grow weed and sell legally. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's a lot different. It's a lot harder market than
Speaker 4: what people portray it as in the media. It's the
Speaker 4: green rush making so much money.
Speaker 6: That's what they told us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're fighting every day.
Speaker 7: Well, it's kind of like one of those things, like
Speaker 7: with most things that will make you a bunch of
Speaker 7: quick money. It's like bitcoin, right, Yeah, you would have
Speaker 7: made a bunch of money if you would have got
Speaker 7: in early early, but now you can make you double
Speaker 7: your money and it's like a stock like whatever. But
Speaker 7: like I mean, to make that real money, you had
Speaker 7: to kind of be ahead of it. And that's why
Speaker 7: Dave hit the nail on the head there. When you
Speaker 7: have a culture brand, you already did that branding for
Speaker 7: years before the market came, so you're already ahead of
Speaker 7: these brands who were like, hey, let's try now. So
Speaker 7: I think that's what's nice about the culture side. But
Speaker 7: and then I think that's why Day.
Speaker 6: Is right with that.
Speaker 3: If you build that branding, that helps a lot. But
Speaker 3: I think a lot.
Speaker 7: It comes out to how you planned ahead with a
Speaker 7: lot of these companies, because when it was three four
Speaker 7: k pounds or whatever, now it's ten percent of that,
Speaker 7: maybe twenty depending on what you sell, right, So, which
Speaker 7: is crazy.
Speaker 6: But if you were.
Speaker 7: Stacking your bread and putting away from hit and you're
Speaker 7: and you were growing correctly.
Speaker 3: Like probably not a lot.
Speaker 12: Was blowing that money, I feel like you'd be okay exactly.
Speaker 12: But if you're like, hey, let's buy a bunch of
Speaker 12: licenses and keep stacking and let's expand, then you might
Speaker 12: have put yourself into a worse place because now you
Speaker 12: expand it to the point now it's even worse now
Speaker 12: where it's like I think so if you span it
Speaker 12: correctly and just like weren't I don't want to say
Speaker 12: greedy by any means, but not just chasing the almighty dollar.
Speaker 6: I guess.
Speaker 7: I think that's why you see some of these culture
Speaker 7: brands take the long because they weren't just for how
Speaker 7: much money I can do.
Speaker 4: They just wanted their ship to be on long term.
Speaker 4: He wants to be in business for two three years.
Speaker 4: For the low term fifty seven, Like, what do you
Speaker 4: think it's summer?
Speaker 11: The market, Yeah, the market in general is definitely tough
Speaker 11: right now, but I think it's definitely a good test
Speaker 11: for business owners and you know, people entering the cannabis industry,
Speaker 11: and I think they'll just make people stronger in the end.
Speaker 2: Competition's healthy, Yeah, it is.
Speaker 11: Competition is good.
Speaker 6: Competition is good.
Speaker 4: I think I know a lot of don't want to
Speaker 4: have like we can just have the limited licenses and
Speaker 4: stuff that Michigan has.
Speaker 5: That's the battle they tried to have in the up right,
Speaker 5: like in Monomine in places like that, they were real
Speaker 5: big on like no, no, no, But that's because we
Speaker 5: fight a different battle down here, down here damn near.
Speaker 5: A lot of the big players are related, right, so
Speaker 5: there's a lot there's a lot like family that goes
Speaker 5: on to where it's like, yeah, we're competitors, but we
Speaker 5: still love each other, but we're fucking fighting tooth and nail.
Speaker 6: I would say.
Speaker 5: It seems like it seems like a couple of years ago,
Speaker 5: and even when I started last year that the industry
Speaker 5: there was more positivity than there is right now. And
Speaker 5: I don't I'm not a negative person. I love to
Speaker 5: harp on positivity, not negativity. But what I'm seeing is
Speaker 5: a trend of people hearing that it's the gold rush
Speaker 5: and they're coming, I'm gonna create a grow and I'm
Speaker 5: gonna do it. But they have no real concept of
Speaker 5: what's going on in the market. So when they make
Speaker 5: the grow. Now I have all this weed, what do
Speaker 5: I do with it? I need to put it in stores.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: I did all the legal things, so it's on metric.
Speaker 5: I grew right, I had scaled up. I know exactly
Speaker 5: how much I have high test twenty eight percent. Good shit,
Speaker 5: what do I do. What's the easiest thing to do
Speaker 5: is you go to the big guys and you beg
Speaker 5: and plead, and you say, please take my wied, please.
Speaker 6: Buy my Wii.
Speaker 5: And then they're like, I'm buying weed for four hundred
Speaker 5: dollars a pound right now.
Speaker 6: And they're like four hundred dollars a pound. I can't
Speaker 6: even Oh my god, I.
Speaker 5: Needed at least seven hundred dollars to even break even, Like, oh,
Speaker 5: I was expecting a thousand, Like what do I even do?
Speaker 6: Right? So in that moment, you know, you go, well,
Speaker 6: can you do six? Right?
Speaker 5: At least if I lose, at least I'm not losing
Speaker 5: a lot. Right, I'm still making some money enough to
Speaker 5: get back and paid, and hopefully now I can go
Speaker 5: and this cycle over and over and over again.
Speaker 6: You not either.
Speaker 5: Having a sales team or your sales team not getting
Speaker 5: out there.
Speaker 6: Like what I see is if you have a sales team,
Speaker 6: like a.
Speaker 5: Core group of hard motherfuckers, that product is going to
Speaker 5: get out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, absolutely it's gonna get out.
Speaker 5: But if but if you're just depending on having good products,
Speaker 5: like it's.
Speaker 6: Not gonna get out those doors.
Speaker 7: No, I mean, listen, that's like people. I think sometimes
Speaker 7: people think with a lot of industries, right, especially when
Speaker 7: they're early, you're just making much money.
Speaker 3: And that's true. This got saturated real quick.
Speaker 7: So if you weren't you didn't have a full brand,
Speaker 7: that Green Rush ended a year or two in like and.
Speaker 6: That's the a it's been gone.
Speaker 7: That's you had to have a solid product and know
Speaker 7: how to do it. Like you said, if don't have
Speaker 7: the right team, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 5: You know, often I get an email because we have retail.
Speaker 5: You guys seen it, So people try to get in
Speaker 5: our retail and they email us an all day email.
Speaker 5: Che che check them my menu.
Speaker 6: I get it.
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. We go we've gone to events
Speaker 3: and we just get those.
Speaker 6: You get me. I got media company.
Speaker 3: Dude, okay, asked what we do.
Speaker 5: Big tip for salespeople, literal Taylor your emails to who
Speaker 5: you're sending them to.
Speaker 4: Literally can you hit that?
Speaker 5: That's that's so simple, so simple, Like take the little
Speaker 5: bit of effort to be like, hey, Cana, Dave watched
Speaker 5: your podcast last time.
Speaker 6: It was fire whoop, the whoop, the whooped, the whoop.
Speaker 5: And then get into what you're trying to sell them
Speaker 5: like a little just but that's a little one. Like
Speaker 5: I get emails from people all the time that I
Speaker 5: just bought weed from you to two days ago.
Speaker 6: You think any more? We bro? Really, I just want it.
Speaker 6: Why are you a menu? What are you doing? Do
Speaker 6: you not? But it's automated and we're in the world
Speaker 6: of change.
Speaker 7: Yeah, light Sky really sees it from all angles because
Speaker 7: you do literally a little bit of everything.
Speaker 3: Man, you really have it.
Speaker 5: So I gotta really think, like, okay, from the culture,
Speaker 5: if I sell you this ship, is it going to
Speaker 5: sell out?
Speaker 6: How fast is it going to sell out? What can
Speaker 6: I do to help you sell it?
Speaker 2: Yes, you don't sit on yourself.
Speaker 6: That's the ship that.
Speaker 5: When you get into sales, and when you have a
Speaker 5: sales team as like the grow team, you're not thinking
Speaker 5: about that. You're just like, yo, here, get that ship
Speaker 5: in the store. But then it gets in the store.
Speaker 5: If it's not weed, if it's not flower, it's gonna
Speaker 5: take a little bit, right. If it's carts, if it's infused,
Speaker 5: if it's gummys that moves. That's just the industry, bro,
Speaker 5: that's the culture. You ask any retail what do you interesting?
Speaker 5: What do you move more? They're gonna be like we
Speaker 5: besides flower like because if we're not if we're talking
Speaker 5: about period.
Speaker 6: Obviously it's flower.
Speaker 5: Obviously people are coming in here like a half can I.
Speaker 2: Get you know, And that makes sense with the data
Speaker 2: that you see too. Flowers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so if you take flower out of the equation,
Speaker 5: it's probably I'm assuming because I don't know every dispensary,
Speaker 5: but I'm assuming overwhelmingly.
Speaker 6: It's gummies, it's carts, it's infused.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that makes sense, right, It's crazy because solving like
Speaker 7: concentrates are really like the low end, but like concentrates
Speaker 7: the low end.
Speaker 5: Speaking of speaking of concentrate, light Sky Farms live Rosen.
Speaker 6: A lot of people don't know. We do live and
Speaker 6: we won second place.
Speaker 5: We want second place in high Times for our great
Speaker 5: breath last year for rosine.
Speaker 3: Oh dude, this guy.
Speaker 6: Like a purple tint to it while I was there,
Speaker 6: manet a slight.
Speaker 5: Yeah that look, when we wash indoor it usually has
Speaker 5: that like purple your tim but that's usually because of
Speaker 5: the weak yourself out home.
Speaker 3: Take matches my card.
Speaker 6: This is for y'all.
Speaker 3: Oh, we get the bar.
Speaker 6: This is for the pot. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: That one's mine, sweet, there's another one.
Speaker 7: Bro, there's another Look, frost d this is a team
Speaker 7: for y'all. Y'all blessed that you really blessed appreciate No,
Speaker 7: but no really cool purple, it smell good, had like
Speaker 7: a party.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was just gonna pack different dams bro.
Speaker 2: Party.
Speaker 6: Sorry, this is singular.
Speaker 2: Okay, that was the crosses.
Speaker 7: Two of us are gonna have to share. Dare you
Speaker 7: actually have my other puff downstairs?
Speaker 2: Which is I want to dive into your one string?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Your entourage?
Speaker 6: You you're a good man.
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, no, no, no, this is important. This is
Speaker 7: a people don't talk about just the cameraoids. Everyone just
Speaker 7: takees THC. I'm so happy that lights guy is doing.
Speaker 2: Because I've been honestly, we've been talked taking away. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've been talking about it recently.
Speaker 4: In the podcast we actually did our recent one of
Speaker 4: our probably not a couple episodes back, we talked about
Speaker 4: the rage effecting terpenes and how all that plays a factor,
Speaker 4: and then like high CBD strains and I was saying,
Speaker 4: I don't see that many strains that have a two
Speaker 4: to one, and then you blew my mind away today
Speaker 4: when we went to it on the tour and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 4: we've roge and you're like two to one and I'm like, well,
Speaker 4: you don't see that.
Speaker 2: I say myself, like, no way.
Speaker 4: Then we go inside the store and it's sixteen percent CBD.
Speaker 2: Eight percent THC.
Speaker 4: Mind blown because I think that's so key for the
Speaker 4: industry because it's based off of medical and like the
Speaker 4: high CBD is going to provide more medical benefits than
Speaker 4: highway THC. And I love that you guys have that
Speaker 4: in rotation. Yeah, this is your mother here with a
Speaker 4: couple of them right here, and it sounds like it's
Speaker 4: consistently always coming, always and I love seeing that.
Speaker 6: And I'm.
Speaker 7: In this in this world of THC chasing to sell dollars.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 7: It's refreshing to see because it's it almost like reff.
Speaker 3: Reiterates, reaffirms whatever I want to say.
Speaker 7: Like that shows that you come from the culture as
Speaker 7: a brand, because you're like, hey, no, it all matters,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean every because everyone enjoys cannabis differently,
Speaker 7: and I think sometimes and at most brands, they miss
Speaker 7: when you're not vertically integrated. You kind of missed that
Speaker 7: opportunity because you're like, I'm just this brand and I
Speaker 7: don't mean anything rude, but if you're like because if
Speaker 7: you kill concentratets, I get it, you specialize the power
Speaker 7: of collapse. Like, but you know it's so you guys
Speaker 7: really are able to hit all the all the consumers. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, not just the people chasing the high TC.
Speaker 7: You got the terms from the solving list, you guys
Speaker 7: folks on terms. You got the donuts for the connoisseewers.
Speaker 7: You got value stuff, peer people, you sell the shake stuff,
Speaker 7: you got hash, you got you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: You're you have all the options so you don't have
Speaker 7: to look toward other brands. And again nothing against other brands,
Speaker 7: but you just you know, you kind of can engulf them,
Speaker 7: you know, and take a full customer.
Speaker 3: So it's interesting.
Speaker 6: I like that. Take something else. I did want to.
Speaker 6: We love that.
Speaker 7: We've always loved the vertically integrated because it's just, you know,
Speaker 7: it's just so.
Speaker 4: Much someone and you can check you can check them out,
Speaker 4: uh in Flint Ye retail shower almost dropped it, but
Speaker 4: you can also check them out on their website right
Speaker 4: here light sky.
Speaker 3: No dot com. I just want to make sure there
Speaker 3: wasn't anything.
Speaker 7: The flower Yeah no, no, no, So maybe it's around,
Speaker 7: but no, check out the website just pulled it up.
Speaker 6: Check them out. But what I wanted to put on that.
Speaker 7: Done with your dad, I'm want to pull out cam
Speaker 7: the can the candle cam Canon cam oh right here. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I didn't forgot to pull it up yet, but we
Speaker 7: definitely will show a little purple hues.
Speaker 5: Nice beyondourage, right, you know. And most of the time,
Speaker 5: I say this all the time. I've tried a lot
Speaker 5: of like CBD weed and most of the time it
Speaker 5: doesn't taste good.
Speaker 6: No, don't.
Speaker 5: It does not taste good. Usually has like this weird
Speaker 5: hate taste. Our entourage tastes like berries. It has a
Speaker 5: real strong taste, and I love it because listen, bro,
Speaker 5: I'm a real smoker. I smoked all day.
Speaker 6: I smoke on the way to the meeting, about at
Speaker 6: the meeting and after the meeting, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 6: Like on the way here, I smoked on the way
Speaker 6: to me.
Speaker 4: I smoke.
Speaker 6: I'm really about that life, bro.
Speaker 5: So when they told me, because I heard from Shannon
Speaker 5: that they were working on a CBD straight and I'm like, cool,
Speaker 5: this is what you won the second place World Cup
Speaker 5: four awesome. But then they but then they were like
Speaker 5: you should try it, we want you to sell it,
Speaker 5: and I.
Speaker 6: Was like, absolutely not. What are you talking about.
Speaker 7: The thing is, I don't know if there's a direct relation,
Speaker 7: but you're right something with that high CBD you lose terps.
Speaker 7: I don't know if there's a relation between that camp different.
Speaker 7: I love to get someone to reche like that, give
Speaker 7: me some real information on that. But you're actually right.
Speaker 7: And the fact that, like, I'm so like to be
Speaker 7: able to try that, I'm really excited. So what what
Speaker 7: do you experience first time you take it?
Speaker 5: So the first time they gave it to me, first
Speaker 5: of all, was annoyed because you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 5: I'm a real smoker, bro, Like no, I mean a
Speaker 5: real like I'm the type that will go in the
Speaker 5: store and be like, don't worry about THC percentages, only
Speaker 5: worry about terpenes is okay. And then as soon as
Speaker 5: I get in front of that cash register, I'm like,
Speaker 5: don't end me, no twenty tw.
Speaker 6: Bushit give me that crazy ship I'm trying to get
Speaker 6: ht Come on, this is let's go.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna you know, Anthony's gonna host this. This is
Speaker 3: just funny.
Speaker 6: I'm good, but that's the person time.
Speaker 4: Bro.
Speaker 6: Know I appreciate I'm real, bro, I'm authentic. So like
Speaker 6: when they told me.
Speaker 7: Really I'm real with them though, that's real, I was like, no,
Speaker 7: that's what a customer is going to ask.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly being real.
Speaker 6: I was like, no, I'm good. I don't want to
Speaker 6: I'm their boat. Like everyone.
Speaker 2: I want to get so blowed up this chick.
Speaker 5: And they were like, no, we really want you to
Speaker 5: try it because we want you to be able to
Speaker 5: sell it. And I was like, Okay, I guess it's
Speaker 5: it's it's free weed they're giving me. I guess I'll
Speaker 5: try it.
Speaker 3: Purt So.
Speaker 6: I went, oh, I didn't know.
Speaker 5: I took an I took my medicine to my legal
Speaker 5: facility and consumed legally, you know, out there. And when
Speaker 5: I was trying the Entourage, what I noticed is again,
Speaker 5: I'm about this life. I smoke all day every day,
Speaker 5: and there's always this lingering feeling in the back of my.
Speaker 6: Head that's like, dude, I'm so cooked. It's like it's
Speaker 6: like carrying my head up like so you know. But
Speaker 6: when I smoked the Entourage, and I hadn't smoked yet,
Speaker 6: it wasn't there but my body.
Speaker 5: I could feel high in my body. It was the
Speaker 5: weirdest feeling. It was like like I wasn't in pain,
Speaker 5: but I felt better, you know what I mean. Like
Speaker 5: after I got the smoking, I was like, huh, I
Speaker 5: did and I felt attentive. I felt ready to work.
Speaker 5: I felt ready to do ship.
Speaker 3: And I was like that is foggy. Hey.
Speaker 6: I was like, hey, guys, is the CBD making me
Speaker 6: feel better?
Speaker 5: Because it's low tac I'm not super stone, so I
Speaker 5: can focus time and place.
Speaker 6: They were That's exactly what we were trying.
Speaker 3: To tell you, dude. People don't understand the value of
Speaker 3: time and place type of ship.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 7: It's like for me, it's like even like for like
Speaker 7: everyone's like, oh well you just you know, because I
Speaker 7: used to be on the solve in this game when
Speaker 7: I kind of switched for a hard minute. But then
Speaker 7: I was like, man, time in place for a live
Speaker 7: resent time and place for just a joint time and
Speaker 7: place for don'nut.
Speaker 3: Like there is time and vice for that ship, and
Speaker 3: I think it's just a missed thing.
Speaker 6: Ailments.
Speaker 2: Do you smoke it? Not like every every day?
Speaker 6: So no, you know, I'm like I'm a real smoker, bro,
Speaker 6: I need the highest thac I need.
Speaker 5: I need it rosin infused and dipped in fucking creajeen,
Speaker 5: like I need to go. I'm trying to get highest possible.
Speaker 5: You a so so, but I will smoke it. Like
Speaker 5: my wife after she had our kid. You know, she
Speaker 5: wasn't smoking the whole time, and me and her we
Speaker 5: get to it in so there was a time when
Speaker 5: she just wasn't smoking, and I'm like, hey, maybe entourage
Speaker 5: that helped you kind of lean back in.
Speaker 6: A good friend of mine, Katie from Green Stem shout
Speaker 6: out green Stem and the Helmies.
Speaker 5: She absolutely lives by entourage, and so when I'm with her,
Speaker 5: I smoke it all the time and it's like it
Speaker 5: does do the thing, but you know, no.
Speaker 6: It's a missed thing.
Speaker 7: And I understand everyone's like, oh, right to see why
Speaker 7: this because of that, you know, it is important when
Speaker 7: you were like an everyday smoker, right, But there is
Speaker 7: a customer out there who wants to smoke a light thing.
Speaker 3: Like I actually have a friend.
Speaker 7: My friend's girlfriend is dealing with some jaw issues and
Speaker 7: I recommend rso low dose or like with CBD because
Speaker 7: you get less of the TT if we're going from
Speaker 7: never smoking weed to rs O only the high tac.
Speaker 7: I'm like that might freak out, like you know, and
Speaker 7: it didn't, so like you know, little doses. So there
Speaker 7: is a consumer out there who doesn't need to get
Speaker 7: ripped a ship. They just want a little buzz and
Speaker 7: that two to one flower is just like if you
Speaker 7: like if light sky dialed in that turps, that's the
Speaker 7: missing key.
Speaker 4: So that's yeah, because like most CBD stuff I've tried,
Speaker 4: just like like sure, it's a little bit more just
Speaker 4: like dry, dry tasting, like hey, it's like not really,
Speaker 4: you're just like smoking different grass.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I only ever had it through my buddy I did.
Speaker 2: We did try something like years ago that wasn't bad.
Speaker 2: It was that Derek McCarty. But that's why saying we
Speaker 2: haven't seen it since.
Speaker 11: Well that was Pincana back in the day, but now
Speaker 11: it's a legacy that does the Darren McCarty brand.
Speaker 6: Ye, break it up. I think they're small. So there
Speaker 6: you go.
Speaker 7: So this is the it's got a little purple hut
Speaker 7: and I think it kind of looks more yellow but
Speaker 7: on the uh like more amber.
Speaker 3: But if you saw it, the person it's got a
Speaker 3: little purple. What was this strain again? We're actually taking
Speaker 3: a dab over the great point break. It does smell
Speaker 3: like citrusy like that.
Speaker 2: That's the right there.
Speaker 3: So take this dab, break it up, look at it,
Speaker 3: smell it, touch it, taste it, eat it.
Speaker 7: Team roller over. We got the speed roller. We got
Speaker 7: the doughnut guy. Yeah, summer can roll everything, now, summer.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: Donut, I could roll a donut for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Is there anything else?
Speaker 3: Another donut right there? Oh my god, we got another
Speaker 3: one going? Is this the same strains?
Speaker 6: No, this singularity. I told you.
Speaker 3: This was the one you were talking about that was
Speaker 3: really good.
Speaker 6: Yeah, this was everyone tried. Try to do it off
Speaker 6: my head. I think it's point break and shirp green pie.
Speaker 6: Yeah that's what it was.
Speaker 3: Froz on the shirt.
Speaker 5: Yeah all right, but you guys, you guys saw our
Speaker 5: sharp creep hie. All right, it's different.
Speaker 6: It's a little creemy, our titty kitty sprinkles different. Wait,
Speaker 6: do you have your weat?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 6: I want to see that. Even if we don't smoke it,
Speaker 6: I want to smell it.
Speaker 3: We can smoke something.
Speaker 6: I just want to smell it.
Speaker 3: But like man, Jesus, so he's still wins.
Speaker 5: Do you guys remember, because you guys are the same
Speaker 5: age as me, do you remember twenty twelve, twenty thirteen
Speaker 5: when you would buy weed and you'd be like, Hey,
Speaker 5: can I have wheat?
Speaker 6: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 7: Anyone not you give me wheat as long as it's
Speaker 7: as long as it's good, bro green, If I could
Speaker 7: have green weat, I feel.
Speaker 6: Shop like that.
Speaker 5: Bro I go in the store, I'll be like, can
Speaker 5: I have some wheat? And they'd be like, what do
Speaker 5: you know? No, give me your best ship, whatever you think,
Speaker 5: whatever you think the best. Because I'm a judge, you
Speaker 5: based off I judge weed. I've been judging it since
Speaker 5: twenty thirteen. High times. I've judged hash Batch, I've judged Motable,
Speaker 5: I've judged the client Cultivation Cup, I've judged dude everything.
Speaker 6: So now I have the thing where I judge on
Speaker 6: my channel right because.
Speaker 2: Judge right here.
Speaker 5: Well, to me, there's like a level and I always
Speaker 5: called it the breakthrough, like because I already smoke. So
Speaker 5: let's let's say me and you smoked, we've been smoking
Speaker 5: all day, and then we go buy some weed, we
Speaker 5: roll it up, we smoke it.
Speaker 6: And don't really get higher like that. This didn't break
Speaker 6: through this right, well not even I mean we probably
Speaker 6: were already cooks are probably straight, you know, something to
Speaker 6: get us by, keep.
Speaker 5: Us going, something to do, honestly, but like this smells good,
Speaker 5: by the way, thank you, this really good.

Speaker 7: going and like telling people about bizcon in a different way, right.

Speaker 5: fair share alleged of shrooms.

Speaker 5: being like, no, I'm gonna drive a vehicle.
Speaker 7: Mushrooms and all those drugs are like listen, if you're
Speaker 7: gonna do those mind heavy, mind expanding ones, I'll be driving,
Speaker 7: Like just speak to find somewhere you can chill ten hours.
Speaker 6: Like that ship is crazy.

Speaker 5: be like, no problem, we're getting there, and wold you
Speaker 5: go to the hash bash. Everyone's just like telling them because.

Speaker 3: Cannaday bring that ship to make tell I've been telling.
Speaker 6: We are usually how clean we are. I'll take care
Speaker 6: of you, bro. Come on.
Speaker 3: Day just on the podcast.
Speaker 6: That's good day.
Speaker 7: You know what?
Speaker 6: Whoa whoa whoa.
Speaker 3: We got to ask him the question I didn't forget
Speaker 3: before we get out here. I want to make sure
Speaker 3: we asked this question though.
Speaker 7: So we have a question we've been asking every single
Speaker 7: guest since the beginning. If you got into the end
Speaker 7: of the episode, you're gonna know this one. But Dave,
Speaker 7: go ahead take you away. This is Dave's question.
Speaker 2: Flower, cind of Sewer like me.
Speaker 4: So I mentioned you're grinding up some of your titty
Speaker 4: sprinkles and hold off Ganja Jeanie pops out of the grinder.
Speaker 4: I'll grant you one wish to change anything within the industry.
Speaker 2: Would you wish that it's tough.
Speaker 3: Because there's a lot always always a cool question.
Speaker 6: One thing within the industry. One industry.
Speaker 5: What's yeah, there's there's from a sales pocision. There's a
Speaker 5: lack of accountability a lot of times when it comes
Speaker 5: to an order, an order that I send out and
Speaker 5: and the accountability to you know, pay on that order
Speaker 5: and timely fashion. There's a lack of accountability for brands to.
Speaker 6: Give education to uh the employees.
Speaker 5: And then there's like a lack of transparency from so
Speaker 5: many different avenues. Like we talked about testing and the
Speaker 5: same thing of like price and quality of product. You know,
Speaker 5: you guys talked about the Croptober and that during Croptober
Speaker 5: pounds become significantly cheaper.
Speaker 6: But how much does that price change in retail? Right? Right?
Speaker 5: If I'm buying a pound for three hundred dollars and
Speaker 5: I'm still selling it for eight dollars a gram, I'm
Speaker 5: fucking up the industry, right, So I think set amount
Speaker 5: of transparency over the entire industry, seeing how much things
Speaker 5: are bought for, how much things are sold for, what
Speaker 5: things are testing for, where the testing came from, if
Speaker 5: the testing is legit, Like overall, how much these brands
Speaker 5: pay attention to stores, Like everybody needs to be able
Speaker 5: to see from every side so we can make our
Speaker 5: best judgments, because right now, the game is not fair.
Speaker 5: You know, hard work always pays off, good product always
Speaker 5: shines out, but there's an uphill battle.
Speaker 6: If you're a new brand, like, dude, sorry, dude, call
Speaker 6: the brokers. If you're a new brand, call flash.
Speaker 5: Flipping straight the fuck, don't even go don't even try
Speaker 5: to go outside. Just call Flash Flipping and be like, hey,
Speaker 5: can you guys tell me? Like it's you're too late, right,
Speaker 5: like you missed it, it's it's way too late. But yeah, so,
Speaker 5: and I guess, in the smallest sense to that question,
Speaker 5: if I could change one thing, I would ask for
Speaker 5: the industry to be transparent on all sides.
Speaker 1: That's fair.
Speaker 6: I like that, Yeah, But at the same time I
Speaker 6: appreciate it.
Speaker 5: But I also have to say, with a caveat, this
Speaker 5: is the best job I've ever had, you know, in
Speaker 5: the best industry that's I've ever been in. You know,
Speaker 5: it's nice. You mentioned this on a couple of podcasts ago,
Speaker 5: But it's nice to be able to be in an
Speaker 5: industry where you don't have to fake. You know how
Speaker 5: often I've had and like I drop spray fucking cologne
Speaker 5: lotion up, hand sanitizer, going che and.
Speaker 6: Gum to my job and like, yeah, where this job.
Speaker 6: I like, hey, I'm about to be back.
Speaker 5: I'll come back in my eyes are fucked up, and
Speaker 5: I'm like, hey, you guys are ready to get some
Speaker 5: shit done.
Speaker 6: It's great. It's great, bro.
Speaker 5: I love being able to be myself. Our parents. I'm
Speaker 5: sure you guys have the same type of parents I have.
Speaker 6: Maybe not.
Speaker 13: My parents are like, don't you go doing that, God
Speaker 13: damn drug. Don't you be doing dope? You got damn
Speaker 13: drug dealer says dead dope. And now and now my
Speaker 13: parents have to be like, hey, how are sales going?
Speaker 13: And I'm like, great, mom, selling weeds amazing, it's amazing.
Speaker 13: It's the best thing that ever happened to me. So
Speaker 13: it's it's I love this fucking industry, bro.
Speaker 5: So I wouldn't change much, but maybe just make it
Speaker 5: a little the plant feel a little more fair.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, it is crazy to think that though, like now
Speaker 4: that we can tell we legally like coming back from
Speaker 4: you were in twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, when your raid
Speaker 4: was my raid is in twenty fifteen a disco. Now
Speaker 4: it's like literally legally legal like, yeah, it's just it's
