Speaker 1: Yo, first Place, ash Fast Pumps and season Let's go.
Speaker 2: Yo. Yeah hit everybody. We started off with a quick
Speaker 2: moment silence and a little playback of uh someone that
Speaker 2: we just lost the other day. Uh. Big part of
Speaker 2: honestly the podcast from when we began, and the big
Speaker 2: part of the cannabis community, I'll be honest. I mean
Speaker 2: he's worked at Cannaboys and he had that lifelong dream
Speaker 2: to work Cannaboys. And if you don't know who I'm
Speaker 2: talking about, I'm talking about Adam A quills on Ig.
Speaker 2: You've seen him around.
Speaker 3: If you've been in the cannabis events, like, you've probably
Speaker 3: seen him. He's always at every brand.
Speaker 2: Event he can go to.
Speaker 3: And uh absolutely and why Canna Dave says that is like,
Speaker 3: you know, we've been fortunate enough to meet people and
Speaker 3: go to these events and all these things, and we're
Speaker 3: very grateful. But like when the beginning the podcast, like
Speaker 3: some of those some of the streams would have like
Speaker 3: just like one two people, like you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like we were just trying to figure it out. We
Speaker 3: would do it eleven on a Sunday, like but like
Speaker 3: he would just randomly tune in, like and he was
Speaker 3: always there, and then like even when you win your
Speaker 3: hash Bash Cup recently, he was there, like again, just
Speaker 3: we told him we'd be around. He took the time
Speaker 3: to figure out where were a met up with us,
Speaker 3: and you know, we just saw him at best in grass.
Speaker 3: You even text him going to event like like the
Speaker 3: same weekend that it happens. That's what you know, we
Speaker 3: do keep in contact with him, you know, I you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know what we do.
Speaker 2: Honestly, you got how your love ones. It's yeah, life is,
Speaker 2: it's really short. Honestly, you never really know truly what
Speaker 2: could happen at any moment. And the reason why I
Speaker 2: think it hit so hard was just because like he
Speaker 2: is honest to God, like his smile was infectious. That
Speaker 2: shit lit up a room like I could. I remember
Speaker 2: I remember him messaging us when we were first starting
Speaker 2: and then he was like, yeah, I'm going going to
Speaker 2: cannabis school in Ohio and he couldn't wait to move
Speaker 2: to Michigan. He was a medical patient, always came to
Speaker 2: Michigan to get allegedly get product. It's very sad to
Speaker 2: see something like this happened to such a great person
Speaker 2: that we all know and care about within within the community,
Speaker 2: and it just honestly it hit me. I didn't I
Speaker 2: didn't believe it, you know, and then I saw that
Speaker 2: I saw the article, but like just truly sad. You know,
Speaker 2: he was only he was only I think twenty nine,
Speaker 2: you know. Guy, he he obviously moved to Michigan and
Speaker 2: he got in the in the Cannaboys, Cannaboys team over
Speaker 2: there running and running a bunch of stuff for them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he even helped us out with a bunch of Well,
Speaker 2: it's just.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, you don't really I mean, especially like
Speaker 3: why I said that, it's because like I appreciated his
Speaker 3: sport way more than I even knew.
Speaker 2: You know, now he's gone.
Speaker 4: So it's shitty because like it was like.
Speaker 3: Back then, you know, when you know, when he was
Speaker 3: fifty percent of the listeners at the time, it's like
Speaker 3: they really you know, you didn't for you knew he
Speaker 3: never forgot those people. No, that's why we kept in contact,
Speaker 3: became friends. And now we're working alongside the industry and
Speaker 3: like you.
Speaker 2: Know, we've seen him at every event we literally are
Speaker 2: at he's at He's at all the Cannababe, He's at
Speaker 2: all the Awards. He was at MotorCity Roots last year.
Speaker 2: I saw him at saw him at we were at
Speaker 2: the Cannabis Council this year, and he chilled him the
Speaker 2: whole time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did, we see him, So I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's just yeah, I will say like
Speaker 3: it's it's it's just a bummer.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not always.
Speaker 3: About how long you've known someone, how many times you've
Speaker 3: been with someone, and sometimes, like I'll be honest, I
Speaker 3: told my mom about this and she said, sometimes it's
Speaker 3: just someone touched your life or they didn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he definitely did. It's a great way to
Speaker 2: put it. And he did touch. He touched a lot
Speaker 2: of people's lives and you can see that. And I
Speaker 2: just I'm just glad that I had the time to
Speaker 2: meet him and hang out with him. With the time
Speaker 2: we had. Honestly, I've been torn up all day on it,
Speaker 2: to be straight something, crying my ass off, Yeah, because.
Speaker 3: The triggers other and triggers other thoughts about the loss,
Speaker 3: and I've been dealing with stuff lately.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, yeah, it's it's tough. So we wanted
Speaker 2: to start off with that. On the somber note with it,
Speaker 2: but we will be picked. We will be having a
Speaker 2: rest of a good episode if you if you want
Speaker 2: to see the rest of the video or see any
Speaker 2: of the stuff that's on our I g the the
Speaker 2: for some reason, the software blue blew up the video.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We were trying to figure out why I kept skewing it,
Speaker 3: but we just eventually were like, well, we're gonna play
Speaker 3: it back, and because at least we wanted to, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: I love you brother, You're always being always be in
Speaker 3: our hearts.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and a weird pivot, but you know, we only
Speaker 3: have a couple of news articles today because uh, like
Speaker 3: you said, we kind of because of like just everything
Speaker 3: we got going on too, we were like, let's do
Speaker 3: something kind of a little more creative and something we've
Speaker 3: been wanting to do. So later in this episode, we're
Speaker 3: gonna be kind of talking about our top ten tip
Speaker 3: tips to your Dispo visits because when you do go
Speaker 3: to the dispo for the first time. Oh I didn't
Speaker 3: say that the first time, but for your first time,
Speaker 3: because it is uh intimidating. Yeah, yuess, so they're good tips,
Speaker 3: but I said for your first time, because if you
Speaker 3: haven't gone, you should check out this episode because we're
Speaker 3: even gonna We each came out with that. We came
Speaker 3: up with this idea that we each came up with
Speaker 3: our own ten ish and the we're gonna decide live
Speaker 3: what the ten are. So you in the comments can
Speaker 3: put what you agree on. Maybe you think that one
Speaker 3: of the ones we didn't include was more important, let
Speaker 3: us know, put in the comments message us, let us know.
Speaker 2: So that's what.
Speaker 3: We're gonna do today. We're gonna figure it out together.
Speaker 3: So but but real quick, we got a couple of
Speaker 3: news articles, you know, just because we always like to
Speaker 3: keep you informed what's going on.
Speaker 2: So we got a quick sample news up State news. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we gotta many more samples we did.
Speaker 3: We even talking about that, but we've been busy as hell.
Speaker 3: But anyways, we're gonna do it. So anyways, the first
Speaker 3: one I got here is, uh, let's just go with
Speaker 3: the general one, the big one that you brought up,
Speaker 3: Cannabis News, open comment and close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the com the schedule one to schedule three.
Speaker 2: Now has there was open comments I think for sixty
Speaker 2: or ninety days now that is officially closed. Yep, yeap.
Speaker 3: So We're gonna see what's gonna happen with this reschedule
Speaker 3: shit it now for real.
Speaker 2: For real? Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be interesting what the
Speaker 2: comments were and then how they take those comments and
Speaker 2: what they do with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, because see the final rhetorick versus what
Speaker 3: was implied first? Right, Yeah, yeah, well, I mean it's
Speaker 3: like we always talk about politicians always say a lot
Speaker 3: of shit, but they they're gonna say whatever they need
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing with this, Like it's all gonna
Speaker 3: seem great about rescheduling until someone sneaks in something sneaky, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know what that is yet, I can't speculate.
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's all good comments and there's actually some traction.
Speaker 4: I'm sure there will be.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's gonna be a mixed back, though you
Speaker 3: cannot say it's gonna be all good.
Speaker 2: People know there's someone out there.
Speaker 3: I think that cannabis is gonna kill all the kids
Speaker 3: because they're gonna look at it, you know, Like I mean,
Speaker 3: if someone think about the children.
Speaker 4: I always make that joke because of the Simpsons. You
Speaker 4: ever watched the Simpsons? Okay, the children, there's that one girl,
Speaker 4: that's all, she yelled, Like my old point.
Speaker 3: I remember that propaganda article I read you earlier. It's
Speaker 3: still out there, it still lives.
Speaker 2: Well, living well.
Speaker 3: I repeat it because it was so stupid. It's out there.
Speaker 3: They just sneak it in. It's not one hundred percent
Speaker 3: of the weed articles. It's more like ten percent, but
Speaker 3: it's not all. But anyway, Yeah no, I mean it's
Speaker 3: kind of exciting because it is progress.
Speaker 2: Nonetheless. Yeah no, because one, well, it's this movement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just mean, it's movement. You're right, That's what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. We're just moving the ball.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: It's like sometimes I feel like we're just like every
Speaker 3: time we check these new articles or you and me
Speaker 3: are reading, it's just the same ones over and over.
Speaker 3: Hey this shop's closing down. Hey's other shops opening up.
Speaker 3: Hey you hear there's this new brand. Hey to here,
Speaker 3: there's one brand shut down, Like you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: it's not That's why I was like, yeah, we got
Speaker 3: to only have like one or two.
Speaker 4: We want to do more segments for y'all.
Speaker 3: And you know, as we grew, we've been trying to
Speaker 3: figure out this podcast, and we figure out how we
Speaker 3: do the live stream now, so we segment the podcast
Speaker 3: and the live stream differently, So if you haven't checked
Speaker 3: out the live stream ninnam to ten a m.
Speaker 2: Every Saturday Eastern.
Speaker 3: Sentery time, we do the wakem bank and we just
Speaker 3: kind of have fun talk about some whatever. Is we
Speaker 3: more like hot topics If you have questions bring them
Speaker 3: that type of stuff where we can get the no
Speaker 3: y'all and hang out with our community, which we love
Speaker 3: doing Instagram, youtubeer for ones.
Speaker 2: But I think we're on.
Speaker 3: Twitch and figuring out Twitter and Facebook, having some issues
Speaker 3: with both right now. But we'll we stream wherever the
Speaker 3: hell we have to because people be hating on the weed.
Speaker 2: So but it's legal, so get out of here. In Michigan,
Speaker 2: it is get out of heat. Not everywhere, but here
Speaker 2: in the Great state of Michigan. It is facts facts. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I can't say that.
Speaker 2: No, I do want to mention uh Michigan News. We
Speaker 2: got the l pix box, so shout out to it,
Speaker 2: Uh Exotic Matter for throwing this out Olympics. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: I think I mentioned on the waken big I did
Speaker 2: go over uh to pick up the box while you
Speaker 2: were gone. Oh yeah, yeah, I think I talked on
Speaker 2: the waken Bank briefly. It was a good time. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna lie. I was pretty burnt out. Yeah, this Olympics.
Speaker 2: So we had Tyler on ty if you didn't check out,
Speaker 2: great episode pretty much Best Frozen, Best Flower and Metric.
Speaker 3: And they did a prelim test like this isn't just
Speaker 3: like hey, we paid to pay to play. It is
Speaker 3: not a pay to play, I think, which again, I
Speaker 3: think pay to play is just more marketing. I'm not
Speaker 3: necessarily hating on it because sometimes that's fun and just
Speaker 3: get examples of the bod like, you know, like because
Speaker 3: on the High Times one of our listeners locks.
Speaker 4: It was like yo calling out HT.
Speaker 2: I'm like whoa I was.
Speaker 3: I was just saying like I hate that competition where
Speaker 3: it's pretty much vote for your buddies.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, like God.
Speaker 4: Getting to do judging more and more, you and me.
Speaker 4: I really like when we just do the numbers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done that like a three four times now,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, that's the way to do it, that's
Speaker 3: the fairest way.
Speaker 2: Numbers.
Speaker 3: Well, it's just because what are you gonna do? You're
Speaker 3: gonna vote for? You could even pay all your employees
Speaker 3: to buy bags. But if they don't, you don't know
Speaker 3: a number.
Speaker 2: You are, you're just voting with our.
Speaker 3: Person, So why would you do that. So see, it's
Speaker 3: a conundrum. Once you create that conundrum, it's fair. Once
Speaker 3: you're just voting for your buddies. Like it's like, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say any company because you're just I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna say anyone does that because I don't know.
Speaker 2: But those a few festivals, like the not festivals, but competition.
Speaker 4: But it's not even on the competition. It's just more
Speaker 4: for marketing.
Speaker 3: And when you do the high times it makes sense
Speaker 3: because you're getting high times marketing, like it still makes
Speaker 3: sense to do.
Speaker 4: You're getting high times marketing.
Speaker 3: Well to some degree to do, but it's slowly we
Speaker 3: think about you're a new company and no one knows
Speaker 3: your brain and someone's gonna.
Speaker 2: Well, you'll get publicized too on that. Okay, that was
Speaker 2: my point.
Speaker 3: So or not even winning, just somebody's being involved in
Speaker 3: those small brands. It's marketing brand points because I mean,
Speaker 3: you look at these billboards.
Speaker 2: Do you think I'm really like, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 2: get Wendy's now? No, But maybe I.
Speaker 3: Think I could get five for five later and then
Speaker 3: next week I get a five or five. That's how
Speaker 3: it works, man, it's just planning a scene. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: that's my.
Speaker 2: Point about seven to ten touch points for you to this.
Speaker 4: Guy doesn't know what I'm talking about their marketing.
Speaker 2: He just goes does It takes about seven to ten
Speaker 2: touch points for you to actually go into a brand
Speaker 2: or search that brand.
Speaker 4: And that's my point.
Speaker 2: So I think there's value you're saying with Wendy's.
Speaker 3: But if you're trying to blacks and be like candidate
Speaker 3: want the hash bash cup, like you you got to
Speaker 3: go to someone with numbers hash bash cup numbers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no facts exactly.
Speaker 4: Hey yeah, come out here, it's numbers.
Speaker 2: Organic cup. Just just I'm just a I'm just a
Speaker 2: good organic grower over here.
Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying in general, those are the competitions
Speaker 3: that I enjoy because I think that's the only way
Speaker 3: you can be like, that's an honest flex because.
Speaker 2: When you're saying I went high times.
Speaker 3: Three hundred and fifty times or like whatever that does
Speaker 3: that because I don't care the name on whoever you
Speaker 3: could call it, not high times. I mean like I'm
Speaker 3: really not called it high times. You know, they started
Speaker 3: as a magazine. Some people be hating on their cup
Speaker 3: and like you ever really.
Speaker 2: Just did a magazine. Yeah, like that's they just branched
Speaker 2: out because competition has their own unique uh ploys and
Speaker 2: some stuff that doesn't work and some stuff. That's my
Speaker 2: whole point and this one like if you want to
Speaker 2: make employe at it, they only do flower and rosin.
Speaker 2: There's no editles. There's nothing else that was well seven,
Speaker 2: you know, Like so there's there's stuff you hate, in
Speaker 2: love with everything, And I think for realistically, if you're
Speaker 2: a brand, I think it's worth it to try to
Speaker 2: enter any competition. I know it costs a lot, but
Speaker 2: if you get it, if you think you're confident and
Speaker 2: you win and you win, that's gonna be I think
Speaker 2: it's good you had it. You had it in your
Speaker 2: full sense, not the free you had it.
Speaker 3: Like, if you think you can win, if you really
Speaker 3: think your product's worth it, then enter because that's when
Speaker 3: competition's healthy.
Speaker 2: That's your best marketing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just knowing your product, just doing it for
Speaker 3: the marketing, you're really just wasting your time doing.
Speaker 2: That when no one won they're that Taliman people and
Speaker 2: bring your stab in January that she was popping off
Speaker 2: within the community people are going crazy for and it
Speaker 2: was like sold out.
Speaker 3: They're still going off, like I'm telling you, I mean
Speaker 3: a hash community like group message thing and people still
Speaker 3: be talking about you go on Michigan's.
Speaker 4: People still talk about Talima. But see that's like that's
Speaker 4: the thing.
Speaker 2: But that but that that's the type of marketing that
Speaker 2: a brand needs when they're saying they can't get marketing.
Speaker 2: Or you come to me and croovy and we got
Speaker 2: packages for you.
Speaker 3: So that's how you hit the community though, that's not
Speaker 3: how you flex. That's how you meet that. That's how
Speaker 3: you get real people to see your understand who your
Speaker 3: brand is, and you understand the community. You know, different
Speaker 3: touch points. But mechanic cast yeah yeah, yeah yeah, going
Speaker 3: back for Olympics, so real quick.
Speaker 2: We got the box twenty four different twenty four different strains,
Speaker 2: two grams of piece, the boxing here and the graz
Speaker 2: and the gray Maraze, I'm made by the farmer and
Speaker 2: this you get some hoot dots too hot dots yeah,
Speaker 2: and then some gummies nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love being add it was yours. Yeah, I told
Speaker 2: you I wasn't giddy. Oh yeah, that was joking. I
Speaker 2: didn't want to mean.
Speaker 4: I actually gave him edibles today, so like it's fine.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah with you, but yeah, no, So
Speaker 2: it was cool. The flower I like it. Tried some
Speaker 2: of the rosins. Some of the rosin was really good.
Speaker 2: I saw it like that entered the count I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: That was some good rosin that I tried. Someone.
Speaker 4: Oh there, you gotta try something.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm sure it was gas.
Speaker 4: I saw some of those companies.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And the funny part was we were just smoking
Speaker 2: joint after joint after joint after joint after joint after
Speaker 2: dumped into the ten top things.
Speaker 3: Oh no, we have one more thing, one more news
Speaker 3: article I want to talk about real quick. And this
Speaker 3: is only because it happens to be in Michigan. All right,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I just poled it up. But it's
Speaker 3: hilarious because the text is so small you can't even
Speaker 3: read when it says.
Speaker 2: But I'll read it for you.
Speaker 3: Michigan canus regularly and moves the band potential harm soul
Speaker 3: substance found in vait pens and it's mct oils, but
Speaker 3: is so small.
Speaker 4: You can't read it, So I'm going to reorganize that.
Speaker 2: Why Dave talks a little nice nice. I think we
Speaker 2: talked about this recently.
Speaker 3: We did, but it's officially going into effect October October first.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the mct oil. That's not the that's not
Speaker 2: the Vitamin e aestate is it. That's just WRO I.
Speaker 4: Think, Yeah, that's been gone for years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah them sorry, yeah, yeah, I didn't realize it
Speaker 3: was gonna be small.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I guess that's good they're starting it up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: id percent. Anything to make it uh healthier and cleaner
Speaker 2: for the user. Yeah, I'm all here for it. That
Speaker 2: next thing you got to get rid of, like all
Speaker 2: those Okay, there's much more easy to read.
Speaker 3: And why canams regular moves to band m C to
Speaker 3: oils bands banned October first, smart So that's what it's banned. Yeah, man,
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. And I think sometimes like we don't
Speaker 3: necessarily know as the consumer of what is going into
Speaker 3: our product anyways. So sometimes I like learning about the
Speaker 3: inviting mct oil because then I know if I happen
Speaker 3: to buy it for my homie or go anywhere else,
Speaker 3: I also know what to look for because like education
Speaker 3: is key to this, you know, that's why I wanted.
Speaker 3: That's what promotes you to want to go to the
Speaker 3: cannabis market, the legal market, because at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, like some of the best fire shit I've had,
Speaker 3: it's just from homies and shit, like you know in Rosin.
Speaker 3: But like you know, if you're going to market, that's
Speaker 3: the advantage you're getting is tests and you're getting your shit.
Speaker 3: You know, that's that's the advantage, right, So that's that's
Speaker 3: like the only advantage, right, Like so inconvenience.
Speaker 2: Comedian shit, it means, I mean there's a pretty good
Speaker 2: product on the store shells nowadays. I wasn't saying there's
Speaker 2: not good product. I wasn't saying that.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, what, what's the advantage to the
Speaker 3: other It's not necessarily advantage, just good product everywhere. I
Speaker 3: believe it all comes down to who's growing and who's
Speaker 3: producing it. I don't shit, you know, I don't hate.
Speaker 3: I don't hate on either side. I'll definitely buy I buy.
Speaker 3: I buy a lot of Rosin off shelves, you know,
Speaker 3: I also buy it times that events just depends depends
Speaker 3: what it depends what I smell. No, it's good. And
Speaker 3: that's why I said I'll never attack either market that way.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying sometimes there's no real advantage to one
Speaker 3: or the other. Like the advance to the medical market
Speaker 3: is that you can go and get a caregiver and say, hey,
Speaker 3: I need these strains for these reasons.
Speaker 4: Right, that's an advantage, right, So.
Speaker 3: In the convenience, but it's way more convenient than just
Speaker 3: hitting up going to any dispensary at any time, right,
Speaker 3: than hitting up only one person. Right.
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 3: There are certain advantages to each market, but quality is
Speaker 3: not one of those. That's all depending on who you
Speaker 3: go to facts. In my in my opinion, some people
Speaker 3: might say one is better than the other. But like
Speaker 3: I'm literally not here to I'm done with these walls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's good product. You want to argue.
Speaker 3: Product everywhere, you just got to find it. There's good
Speaker 3: stuff calas and there's ship everywhere too. That's not our thing,
Speaker 3: just and then we'll go. That's why I'm excited to
Speaker 3: get in this next topic because that's.
Speaker 2: One of my one of my rules. All right, I
Speaker 2: think it's time I think it's time too. So this
Speaker 2: is something we're going to try to do here and there.
Speaker 2: It's a little educational thing and our tips and then
Speaker 2: we're going to combine them up. So the movie said, you.
Speaker 3: Want to go one one for one, you want to
Speaker 3: go all I'll go all ten.
Speaker 2: I think we should go one for one. So they're
Speaker 2: gonna be banter because I'm gonna forget if you go
Speaker 2: through all ten and if I well, I think if
Speaker 2: we both, I think so. I think there no specific order,
Speaker 2: there's just ten. Yeah.
Speaker 3: But we literally we just sat here, we brainstorm, we
Speaker 3: figured our top ten. Uh, and then I think what
Speaker 3: we should do is if you like it, we'll just
Speaker 3: bold it or highlight however you want to highlight on
Speaker 3: your end, and then we'll see how many we have
Speaker 3: at the end. All right, and then if we'll just
Speaker 3: start eliminating at the end, well, like I said, put
Speaker 3: in your comments messages.
Speaker 2: Meddle fingers if you don't agree.
Speaker 3: If you do it, let us know which ones you
Speaker 3: like don't like exactly. I'm actually really curious on this, yeah,
Speaker 3: because literally we're doing this on purpose, kind of his experiment.
Speaker 3: It's a different title of episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we can just argue that's.
Speaker 4: Why we're wide shot too.
Speaker 2: There might be some fist thrown.
Speaker 4: And I forgot a cable, all right, and we don't.
Speaker 2: Have cable, so I cameraun house.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah right, so many les. Yeah, but this works
Speaker 3: out level literally big facts. I love it, all right,
Speaker 3: you go first, all right, canadave is before G C G.
Speaker 2: I'm ogi hell yeah, So like I don't understand. So
Speaker 2: one of my first ones I put down is I,
Speaker 2: I mean, anytime I talk to anybody, I think you
Speaker 2: should always check the dispos weed maps, duchy, just check
Speaker 2: the deals to find the brands that you're looking for,
Speaker 2: because if you go to I don't want to go
Speaker 2: too deep into it, but if you go to the
Speaker 2: same shop all the time, your brand might be cheaper
Speaker 2: somewhere else, might people save a little bit money, and
Speaker 2: it might be the exact same product against somewhere else.
Speaker 2: So I always check. I always would think checking for
Speaker 2: the deals is always like a number one yea.
Speaker 3: I have deals, deals, deals, mindset of deals, deals deals.
Speaker 3: But for those who have financial struggers or for good shoppers.
Speaker 3: And the reason why I put that is because sometimes
Speaker 3: it's it is it's like it's not only just good
Speaker 3: to check the I think you have a great one
Speaker 3: the Duchy for deals, because that also says, hey check
Speaker 3: online before you go.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, that's a good one. It's two to one, right,
Speaker 2: So I like that a lot because it's integrated with
Speaker 2: their system, so it's like that's the product they literally
Speaker 2: have on shelf.
Speaker 3: But also like you can find good product in there
Speaker 3: and try things that if you're like, I want to
Speaker 3: try this new brand, and you know, grant it's not
Speaker 3: a great it's not the perfect representation because it's older
Speaker 3: usually or but like like but sometimes like you can
Speaker 3: find deals because they're not always the same price and crap.
Speaker 2: Not everywhere, especially with all the retail shops. It's they
Speaker 2: have their fighting for you. So literally check check the deals,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, because everyone's struggling. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 2: hard out there right now, you know what I'm saying
Speaker 2: with inflation and everything with interest rates and all this
Speaker 2: crap out there. If you can save a couple of bucks,
Speaker 2: that's not bad. So for the same products, you know, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 2: So I think that is I think that.
Speaker 3: I think we'll kind of combine these as like we
Speaker 3: can make like our own like little ten commandments, all
Speaker 3: right or something, and like put it up there for you,
Speaker 3: but like right now we're working through them. So I
Speaker 3: have check dates, and I know that's just very simple.
Speaker 3: So what I mean by that is check the dates
Speaker 3: at bud tender. Can I see it and look at
Speaker 3: the dates? And some people don't know. So if you
Speaker 3: go on the packaging.
Speaker 4: I have one right now, I do have this.
Speaker 2: You go on the back, have on your hand perfect.
Speaker 3: Ready, So you go to the back of these and
Speaker 3: you can actually see this was in the end of March.
Speaker 2: This was tests that or whatever.
Speaker 3: Right, So right here it gets blurry at a blur,
Speaker 3: but it's it's usually right underneath the package I d
Speaker 3: and usually above info but not always. But look for
Speaker 3: some dates and it will use this a test date
Speaker 3: and or harvest date and or produce date. And usually
Speaker 3: and usually it's both a mix of those. Usually it's
Speaker 3: like harvestate and test ay, and then it's like producing
Speaker 3: and test date. Right, So look at those and kind
Speaker 3: of make your own justment on the difference, because sometimes
Speaker 3: those are further apart than you be thinking.
Speaker 4: Sometimes they're right next to each other.
Speaker 2: Sometimes they're not and if it's flower, there could be
Speaker 2: reasons why.
Speaker 3: Not always, but it could look at the products and
Speaker 3: then make your own assumptions.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You can use the dates like candidate. The dates can
Speaker 3: tell you so much more, not just is it old.
Speaker 3: Like that's what we're trying to say. Check the dates
Speaker 3: because if you examine the test date versus harvest date local,
Speaker 3: we could maybe assumption if it's like nine months like
Speaker 3: that probably your remediation. There's like a month that could
Speaker 3: just be like trying to cure, like like hey, transportation
Speaker 3: like a couple months, even like shit happens, Like.
Speaker 2: You're talking nine and six months, that's a long time
Speaker 2: for flower to be sitting there.
Speaker 3: I mean that terps as.
Speaker 2: A grower, your terps are gone. There's no flow, there's
Speaker 2: no taste in that bud.
Speaker 4: So why do you think there's so much you can
Speaker 4: learn in the dates?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: And I agree, And that's why I'm going to jump
Speaker 2: into this now because that was two of mine was
Speaker 2: check harvest date because for the remediation, if you're buying flour, like,
Speaker 2: you don't want to go there and buy buy something
Speaker 2: that's you're something that's gonna have taste, like especially for flower,
Speaker 2: why do you want to smoke it at that point?
Speaker 2: In my opinion, like I only want to smoke stuff
Speaker 2: that I want to smoke, So if I couldn't smoke it,
Speaker 2: I don't want to buy it. So check the harvest date.
Speaker 2: And then when you're checking the harvest state, you have
Speaker 2: to check the testing date because that's the date that
Speaker 2: tells you when it actually got tested and then it
Speaker 2: gets packaged and thrown on the shelf. I believe like
Speaker 2: if the testing dates far from the harvest, like Groovy said,
Speaker 2: trybor remediation.
Speaker 3: But potentially I can't say something. You can make your
Speaker 3: own assumptions. If there's five months, nine months, like that
Speaker 3: might be the reasons why that.
Speaker 2: It's sitting there. Obviously, it takes bud two to three
Speaker 2: weeks to dry or two weeks to drive. If you
Speaker 2: do fourteen days, then you still have to trim it
Speaker 2: and you still have to send it out. So like
Speaker 2: a month two months fine, But if it's like six
Speaker 2: eight months, that's that's odd assumptions. And then also you
Speaker 2: gotta check the test date for the concentrates too, because
Speaker 2: if they've if the product's been sitting on the shelf
Speaker 2: long and this is another one of mine. It jumps
Speaker 2: into if it's not stored, right, that product's going bad.
Speaker 2: So you want to check that. So yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't actually put anything about storage, So it's
Speaker 3: maybe just keep that till the end because I'm not
Speaker 3: sure what we should say. But like check dates was
Speaker 3: that's mine, So I'm gonna put a I'm gonna underline that.
Speaker 2: I think that definitely right here deals deals deals in
Speaker 2: check dates, we both have. Those are both on.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, but I didn't Okay, sorry, here we go.
Speaker 3: So my next one or no, you go next in
Speaker 3: your turn tie?
Speaker 2: Should you tip bud tenders?
Speaker 4: Well, that's more of a question.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a rule. I'm going in
Speaker 2: through it. No, it's but this is a question that's
Speaker 2: brought up all the time. Nor.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think tip your buttender, don't tip your bread.
Speaker 3: I don't think you can really, Okay, So my only
Speaker 3: reason I don't think that can be a rule is
Speaker 3: because I think it's very circumstantial, and the only reason
Speaker 3: all my bud tenders don't get mad me. I'm just saying,
Speaker 3: sometimes if you're just doing a pickup. Man, I don't
Speaker 3: think you really should have to really be tipping ten
Speaker 3: percent every time you're going there pick up maybe a
Speaker 3: dollar or two.
Speaker 4: I get it, but like, like.
Speaker 3: You know, it's not really that you know, you're just
Speaker 3: going there and doing a pick up. You know you
Speaker 3: now do I think if I go in there and
Speaker 3: I'm looking for something specific and miss bud tenders help
Speaker 3: me with this process and goes, we'll try this, probably
Speaker 3: smell this is probably look at well, I've had this experience,
Speaker 3: and like walk through this whole thing, and then you
Speaker 3: walk out of there with like, hey, keep the forty
Speaker 3: three extra sense, Like I think that's a douche move
Speaker 3: because I think, like if someone you're gonna take that
Speaker 3: time and the buttender is gonna help you, then like
Speaker 3: you should you should throw them a tip, like and
Speaker 3: I think sometimes it's a little based on how my
Speaker 3: experience is. And that's why I said I can't really
Speaker 3: make a rule on should you or not should your
Speaker 3: buttender because I've also had bundered buttenders be kind of
Speaker 3: shitty to me, and like, you know, again, I don't
Speaker 3: necessarily want to throw you a temper scentard twenty percentage.
Speaker 3: Whatever you think your standard should be. Anyone else there,
Speaker 3: whatever your standard should be with numbers, I'm not here
Speaker 3: to discuss numbers, but it's kind of based on how
Speaker 3: your customer services. I think it's kind of a treatment
Speaker 3: thing because I worked in restaurants for due to decade
Speaker 3: between bars and restaurants, and like, I used to see
Speaker 3: servers treat people like shit and then bitch that they
Speaker 3: would get bad tips. And it's like, dude, you don't
Speaker 3: just deserve twenty percent because you brought them your food.
Speaker 3: You have to give them an experience. You know, we
Speaker 3: got kissed their ass if they're a shitty customer, but like,
Speaker 3: come on, man, be nice about it. You don't have
Speaker 3: to be rude and then expect that.
Speaker 2: Is bratty to me, And the reason why I wanted
Speaker 2: to bring it up.
Speaker 3: So I think there's and a lot of bud tenders
Speaker 3: are better than worse. I'm just saying I've had a couple.
Speaker 3: Bad experiences are very rare. It's just you know, I've
Speaker 3: been going to disposed for what a decade now, so
Speaker 3: I can't really remember.
Speaker 4: It's just like there's so many.
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring it up because I don't think
Speaker 2: anyone should feel implied to tip right your first time going,
Speaker 2: you like, if you do, if you have a great
Speaker 2: time and it's enjoyable and you're not rushed and they're
Speaker 2: educating you and they're doing everything you're asking. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think it's a fair fair amount to tip.
Speaker 3: No, as I said, I think I'm more more than none.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw something.
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I just that's because I'm in a place that I can,
Speaker 3: but not ever we can. If you're not in a
Speaker 3: place that you can and you're struggling, you just want
Speaker 3: to buy a little bit of smoke for yourself. You
Speaker 3: shouldn't feel obligated, and that person shouldn't make you feel bad, okay,
Speaker 3: because people have struggle, no facts, okay, and you don't
Speaker 3: understand and some people who want just more money. I
Speaker 3: understand that you might want more tip, but you have
Speaker 3: to understand it's not always about us in this life, right,
Speaker 3: Mike's not always about groovy, it's not always about candidate.
Speaker 3: So it's like, sure, I know you wanted that extra
Speaker 3: five dollars tip that day.
Speaker 2: But like maybe you have a little empathy to maybe.
Speaker 3: You don't understand anyone's called there, right, But if you
Speaker 3: see someone walking with a Rolex wash and then they
Speaker 3: tip you forty cents, like, okay, that guy's an asshole,
Speaker 3: straight up. But that's what I'm trying to say, right
Speaker 3: as well. I mean, I'm just saying what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 3: you know, have a dollar like on you right? You
Speaker 3: flex about a roleze, you can't have a dollar like
Speaker 3: either way. My whole point is I'm just trying to
Speaker 3: make a point. Even then, like you said, see your
Speaker 3: whole face you just made. It's because you can't judge
Speaker 3: someone you don't know what they're going through.
Speaker 2: So facts facts, because it's tough.
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't like that as a rule, though, hit me
Speaker 2: with your next one.
Speaker 3: Ask questions, giant ask questions. It's okay because I think
Speaker 3: sometimes when they go in there first time, tenth time,
Speaker 3: million time, you feel like that guy behind you is
Speaker 3: impatient because.
Speaker 2: He's had a long day. He needs the smoke.
Speaker 3: So they're like, shit, okay, well you don't wanna get
Speaker 3: this done, and that's fine if you know what you want.
Speaker 3: If I'm like, dude, I need those rosen because I
Speaker 3: love that shit. I need that EA card because that
Speaker 3: shit hit. I need that fucking Huna Dad's because I
Speaker 3: want that cool. I'm getting the fuck out of here, right,
Speaker 3: you know what you want cool? But your first time
Speaker 3: in ask questions, man.
Speaker 2: I mean still ask questions nowadays, Dude.
Speaker 4: I said first or a thousand times, but again.
Speaker 2: I ask questions. No you, I'm still making this.
Speaker 3: In mind of like your first time visit, but also
Speaker 3: like these are tips that you can make at any time,
Speaker 3: because really some people just get nervous because I don't
Speaker 3: think it's I don't think it's unfair that you should
Speaker 3: have to rush because the disco's busy. I hate that
Speaker 3: mentality because it's like only went to plan at thirteen,
Speaker 3: and it just like with you and me, when I
Speaker 3: went to play at thirteen, I actually had a really
Speaker 3: good put in here, and she's like, don't worry about
Speaker 3: people hiding fuck up.
Speaker 2: Like we're talking.
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, she had to go back a couple
Speaker 3: of times and she's fine with it. You and me
Speaker 3: felt rushed, right, So that experience matters, man, Like ask
Speaker 3: the questions. But like you know, if I go in
Speaker 3: there and ask a couple questions, you make me feel stupid.
Speaker 2: I'm never going to come back.
Speaker 3: I might even not even like cannabis, So don't give
Speaker 3: it a bad brand. I don't get because you don't
Speaker 3: know every time. Everyone's experience with cannabis might be the
Speaker 3: first time trying weed. Some people are just getting used
Speaker 3: to feeling comfortable with it.
Speaker 2: Because it's legal. I know, I know, that's why you're
Speaker 2: that's literally my entire family. Yeah, that's why you have
Speaker 2: to ask questions. I think that's that I actually have
Speaker 2: that as one of mine too, sick. I said, I
Speaker 2: literally have. If you have any ask questions. But tenders
Speaker 2: are there to help you. That was literally what I wrote.
Speaker 3: But yeah, because that's that's the thing, because most most
Speaker 3: most butttenders are great.
Speaker 4: People in love want to help you.
Speaker 3: I just think and once I get a butt tender
Speaker 3: who just doesn't care, you know, they're just there to
Speaker 3: do the job. But that's everyone in any position, any field, right,
Speaker 3: Some nice people.
Speaker 4: Just gonna have a job.
Speaker 3: Yep, my journ your turn, h that was YOURSK definitely
Speaker 3: underlying that well, I mean that was definitely one that
Speaker 3: was a bout.
Speaker 2: Whenever they're both they're definitely yeah, right, I have the rewards,
Speaker 2: ask about the rewards or like this is not deals,
Speaker 2: but like some dispos have like rewards where if you
Speaker 2: spend money, you sign up, you spend money there, then
Speaker 2: you get free product later or discounts off of stuff.
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes some of the places have really
Speaker 2: good rewards systems, like Soso used to have a really
Speaker 2: good reward system back when they were right by us.
Speaker 2: Literally I got a couple of grams of rison and
Speaker 2: then I got like ten fifteen dollars off my next Graham,
Speaker 2: Like I couldn't really complain on that.
Speaker 3: Soo's program was pretty tight. So there are certain I
Speaker 3: kind of miss nearby.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, no, same, same.
Speaker 3: Kind of kind of I missed the so well because
Speaker 3: there's the one in Warren, but it's like eight front.
Speaker 3: It's like open like certain hours and you have like
Speaker 3: online order and only from certain times certain times one
Speaker 3: day able to and yeah, and it's metal. There's like
Speaker 3: so many rules like I couldn't. I was like I can't.
Speaker 2: I think the rewards are I think some of the
Speaker 2: rewards can help you out. Obviously, don't join them all
Speaker 2: because I think some of them are just not I
Speaker 2: think they're just pointless, like if every dollars a point,
Speaker 2: some of them are.
Speaker 3: Rewards, is yeah, they're You're right. I forgot about that, man.
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking about how that the rise and the
Speaker 3: deals I got there and that was tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's nice to see those.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's not horrible. Let's go back to
Speaker 3: that one though, because I didn't have that. But like,
Speaker 3: I don't mind that one because that's a good thing
Speaker 3: that I never really I don't think about.
Speaker 2: I didn't think about rewards.
Speaker 3: Because that's a good thing to note too when you
Speaker 3: first time go in, because especially when your first time
Speaker 3: go in, that's the time to sign up. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: because especially if it's your white regular war regular one.
Speaker 3: Those are the ones I tend to sign up for
Speaker 3: if I go there regularly, because not every dispo I'm
Speaker 3: there regularly, No, and I'm just like, I'm near your house,
Speaker 3: I'm near my mom's house. Like I'll just like because
Speaker 3: like you know, they'll ask everybody to have a rewards anying.
Speaker 3: Like sometimes like no, because I come here like once
Speaker 3: a month or I mean, excuse me, once a year,
Speaker 3: you know, So I'm like, but like when I go
Speaker 3: to Hive I got my punch, car, I got all
Speaker 3: ten visits. Yeah, and I got my punches. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I got I got like fucking five edibles they give you,
Speaker 3: they give you an eighth or eighth quarterflower. I don't
Speaker 3: know a bunch of flower or a bunch of edibles.
Speaker 2: And it was sick. So see, and there you go.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 2: And that's because he's going there already spending money. And
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying, rewards when you're getting money back,
Speaker 2: no make sense.
Speaker 4: That's why I said, let's put a pen in that one.
Speaker 2: I like that. Oh that's going on for sure.
Speaker 4: Well we'll see, because you don't even know what I have.
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of the ones you've said, I've already said.
Speaker 2: So I'm like, my numbers are dwindling.
Speaker 3: Really well, I still have eight s seven. No, you
Speaker 3: haven't touched mine, all right, So I have. This one
Speaker 3: is don't just trust a bud tender. But not all
Speaker 3: buntenders don't know anything. Because the reason why I say
Speaker 3: this is don't just walk in there and be like
Speaker 3: dust the fire, okay, and then be pissed because you
Speaker 3: didn't really think you just trusted their opinion and ask
Speaker 3: any questions.
Speaker 4: You didn't know if they like Sativa.
Speaker 3: You or you lay like head high as you like
Speaker 3: body buzz.
Speaker 2: You didn't ask anything.
Speaker 3: Don't just trust what anyone saying, especially because sometimes they're
Speaker 3: just trying to say it a deal. But don't treat
Speaker 3: the buttender like they're idiots either, because sometimes they do
Speaker 3: have something to say.
Speaker 4: So you just got to kind of listen. So that
Speaker 4: was just kind of one I put.
Speaker 2: Kind of that to me is kind of almost like tipping,
Speaker 2: but different tipping. Yeah, like tipping, because you said if.
Speaker 3: I has to do with the butt hunter's opinion, there's
Speaker 3: nothing to do with tipping. Yeah, I guess I don't
Speaker 3: even I don't know what's the tipping one. I don't
Speaker 3: even remember the tipping one. I have deals, deals, deals,
Speaker 3: check dates.
Speaker 2: No, mine was should you tip? It was a question.
Speaker 4: I didn't even think that one was on there.
Speaker 3: I didn't like that one at all, So that one
Speaker 3: I wasn't counting because I didn't like that one.
Speaker 2: But oh my dad, it goes with always asking questions.
Speaker 2: Your buttenders are there to help. That's kind of where
Speaker 2: it's with it.
Speaker 3: Okay, we can we can count that. Okay, we could
Speaker 3: do that oh, I see that. I see how you see?
Speaker 2: I see I see that the same thing to me.
Speaker 2: That one I could see, but I didn't see the
Speaker 2: other one. But I didn't mean to say the tipping.
Speaker 2: I didn't say the other one. Yeah, reading, I'm reading
Speaker 2: through the mic.
Speaker 4: So so what do you alright?
Speaker 2: So you're next one? Then I will strike that one
Speaker 2: straight through stup right. I want to talk about the
Speaker 2: storage thing. I think storage is key for a dispo
Speaker 2: and your and your product that you consume. So I
Speaker 2: think storage of the said dispo, Like if you're getting
Speaker 2: into cannabis, you want to go to a dispo that
Speaker 2: doesn't have your bud standing underneath light baking your turps.
Speaker 2: It's degrading all the THC. So if you're looking for THC,
Speaker 2: it's killing it. If you want it for CBN, it's perfect.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 3: It's I think when it comes to flower I mean
Speaker 3: most stuff's just on shelves, yeah, some, but some still
Speaker 3: do have that like Deli style. Deli style you have
Speaker 3: you have places that put concentrates in rosins outside of
Speaker 3: no coolers, right, so if they're not in the cooler,
Speaker 3: that means you're getting it that's been in a store
Speaker 3: shelf with the humidity and the light.
Speaker 2: Bacon, Yeah, I mean for Rosin. I mean, for sure,
Speaker 2: any concentrate. In my mind, my.
Speaker 4: Resident has a better shelf life.
Speaker 3: But I mean I still love all my concentrates in fridges.
Speaker 3: So I get what you're saying with storage. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: didn't have that. I think I think storage is key
Speaker 3: or is it not key? But it's a good thing
Speaker 3: because if they're true, if they're treating the product right,
Speaker 3: then they're probably handling everything else within the shop pretty
Speaker 3: clean then from like check in to cleanliness of the
Speaker 3: shop to everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't have anything like that. Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: products should be always check the product. But what's the
Speaker 2: rule then on that one, I don't know.
Speaker 3: If it's a store look for good storage? I don't
Speaker 3: know so because I have one that says.
Speaker 2: Like, ah, where is it?
Speaker 3: Try many until you find one that works with your
Speaker 3: budget and style. So I'm like, maybe maybe that kind
Speaker 3: of fits there, because then it's like, hey, go to
Speaker 3: the dispos that you trust with like the correct storage
Speaker 3: because that's your style.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Because that's what I have Because I think.
Speaker 3: There's never I think they're different, I think, Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: why I was trying to find them. If anything, it
Speaker 3: would go with what I have later, which would be
Speaker 3: like support who you like. Okay, well let's say we'll
Speaker 3: do that then, because that's kind of the same. Because
Speaker 3: my next.
Speaker 4: One was, well it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: My next one is try many until you find one
Speaker 3: works your budget style, because I've noticed with different different
Speaker 3: we're talking about dispos right, So try many, try many.
Speaker 3: This is a rule to me because don't just go
Speaker 3: to one because it's convenient. I don't find go find
Speaker 3: that work with your style. Don't think that it's a
Speaker 3: oh this is the top shelf. Rosen is seventy five
Speaker 3: dollars gram low shelf is fifty, and then you go
Speaker 3: to the next disc. But when it's twenty and is forty,
Speaker 3: go shop round. That finds your budget and style. Maybe
Speaker 3: you want to pay a little bit more because you
Speaker 3: want it to be convenient and you don't want to
Speaker 3: drive ten miles out of your way for the deli
Speaker 3: style or whatever over here. That's fine, but you need
Speaker 3: to make it find it work for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree, support who you like? Cool.
Speaker 3: That's why I said try many but we'll quote that.
Speaker 3: I put try many until you find one that works
Speaker 3: with your budget.
Speaker 2: I said, I put try many shops and support who
Speaker 2: you like.
Speaker 3: That's we'll make that all into one though, because like
Speaker 3: I think fitting your budget and style is important.
Speaker 2: To mention it because I think that's specific to the person.
Speaker 2: I think that's not one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely one buy within your budget, which I
Speaker 3: mean that could go with deals, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that will.
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of what we just if I
Speaker 3: went your budget style, I don't know if I would
Speaker 3: say buy that at all, because sometimes you know, it's
Speaker 3: like treat yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like, yeah, it's all in that one.
Speaker 3: I said, don't try your bud tenders. We already did
Speaker 3: that one, but don't. But not all bunchers know everything
Speaker 3: because you gotta trust them sometimes. Got just listen. I
Speaker 3: just said that one. Oh, give brands multiple chances, try
Speaker 3: different products. The reason why I said that because I've
Speaker 3: tried different strains or like tried some dads. I'm like, ugh,
Speaker 3: and then I've tried another strain of their razon, but
Speaker 3: like Damn's word on that, and then the next one
Speaker 3: was okay, right, you got to kind of figure out
Speaker 3: because then I'm like, oh, they're not consistent. I tried
Speaker 3: the next brand, and I'm like, good, good good. I'm like,
Speaker 3: that's consistent. Right, So sometimes you just gotta search and
Speaker 3: like I don't want Sometimes I used to fall victim
Speaker 3: to this. I used to hate on a brand because
Speaker 3: I didn't like it. You know, I don't like this brand,
Speaker 3: so I'm ever gonna buy it again.
Speaker 2: That was me.
Speaker 4: I hear you.
Speaker 3: You got hurt, and you're like, motherfucker, that was my
Speaker 3: last fifty that day, you motherfucker. Yeah, for two weeks
Speaker 3: to my next paycheck or whatever. Right, I've been there,
Speaker 3: But sometimes you just gotta smoke the booboo and get
Speaker 3: through it. But I'm just kidding, and I understand that
Speaker 3: sometimes it's hard to go back, But I just think
Speaker 3: sometimes it's unfortunate that the storage, like Dave said, or
Speaker 3: something that maybe fell on the disco doesn't necessarily fall
Speaker 3: in the brand, ruins the brand, or you bought it
Speaker 3: and the date was like a year and a half later.
Speaker 4: It was expired.
Speaker 2: It shouldn't have been sold at the bran.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But sometimes you want to bring the brand, because that's
Speaker 3: what you see, You're not when I when I come here,
Speaker 3: I see what I'm dabbing on.
Speaker 4: What peninsula guardens. I'm not gonna be like where I
Speaker 4: bought this from?
Speaker 2: Fuck them.
Speaker 3: If I didn't like it, I'm gonna look and be like, oh,
Speaker 3: put the orders, you know what I mean. So that's
Speaker 3: that's why I say, you got to give him a
Speaker 3: second chance. Sure, if they get you two times in
Speaker 3: a round, it's both boo boos. Okay, the third time
Speaker 3: is probably not gonna be great, but like, give them
Speaker 3: multiple chance, so at least at least give it a shot.
Speaker 2: That's that's my Yeah, I got that. Yeah, I try
Speaker 2: brands more than once. Same idea.
Speaker 4: I just didn't give him a chance because you can't
Speaker 4: just give.
Speaker 2: Up on what I have is. I think we already
Speaker 2: went about. It is where you are respected, not just
Speaker 2: a number.
Speaker 3: That's kind of in the same budget style, one that'll fit.
Speaker 3: I like, because that one kind of covered we had
Speaker 3: both had that.
Speaker 2: What else? I had only got a couple more.
Speaker 3: Oh, this one, this one is just my own thing.
Speaker 3: So I don't even know if you were going to
Speaker 3: think this this one's like, you know, this one might
Speaker 3: not stick. But I only say this just because like,
Speaker 3: it's what kind of product doesn't mean it's better. And
Speaker 3: the only reason why I say that is because sometimes
Speaker 3: I've had edibles that are like hash ros and gummies
Speaker 3: versus just like some gummies and like hit better, or
Speaker 3: like sometimes I've had rosin and it was sappy, it's
Speaker 3: not like poop, And then I had some live resent
Speaker 3: that was GMO from to North and I was like,
Speaker 3: god name right, So just because it's this doesn't mean
Speaker 3: it's going to be this when it's buying products. You know,
Speaker 3: just because it's live resin doesn't mean it's Oh it's
Speaker 3: because it's dabs, it's gonna get.
Speaker 2: Me more high than flower? No, no, no no.
Speaker 3: If you have some good flower and some shitty wax,
Speaker 3: I'd rather have some fire flower, right.
Speaker 4: I don't think product dictates dictates.
Speaker 2: Like better, So what so what's what's what.
Speaker 3: Kind of product doesn't mean what kind of product it
Speaker 3: is doesn't mean it's better.
Speaker 4: That's what I mean by that.
Speaker 3: It's like just because it's like a what uh Like
Speaker 3: even you've been the victim to like how many times
Speaker 3: we've been told, oh, this is top shelf this sixty
Speaker 3: dollars flower and it's dry, Like just because it's better
Speaker 3: doesn't mean it's better.
Speaker 4: Maybe just because it's better, it doesn't mean till you're
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: That makes sense. So that's what I was trying to say.
Speaker 3: That's why I said the I also but what the
Speaker 3: kind of product is, just because I kind of get
Speaker 3: sick of this whole battle.
Speaker 2: Ros it live resident or ganttic? Non organic? Just smoke it?
Speaker 2: Does it suck?
Speaker 4: Was it better than the other product?
Speaker 2: Done?
Speaker 3: Like everyone wants to like flex like, just like is
Speaker 3: it good?
Speaker 2: Is it organic? Though?
Speaker 3: Like I don't care what daw you use to produce music?
Speaker 2: You know, I just care. Did I like the song?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I don't care what kind of guitar it was, Just
Speaker 3: I don't care what saxophone I play.
Speaker 2: It just does love to sound good? Like you know
Speaker 2: what I mean? I get that. I don't know how
Speaker 2: I want to put that in the list, but yeah,
Speaker 2: I kind of get what you're saying. It's kind of
Speaker 2: interesting though.
Speaker 4: I told you I thought about this.
Speaker 3: I was like thinking, I was like, I think because
Speaker 3: I think that's one pin'll pin Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 2: Uh my next one would be give the in house
Speaker 2: brands a try. So if they are the retail shop
Speaker 2: and they produce the vertically integrated, yeah, i'd give them
Speaker 2: a try because usually that's where you can find the
Speaker 2: best bang for your buck, even if they don't have deals,
Speaker 2: so you can probably find it's a good. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: a good I like that. That's fair with so pretty.
Speaker 3: I like that because honestly, you're right in a lot
Speaker 3: of times with vertical integrated. I didn't put that, but
Speaker 3: I do think that's a good idea because sometimes with
Speaker 3: vertical integration, like those are the people who really give shit.
Speaker 3: Those are people who dedicating their whole life. They're risk
Speaker 3: and getting all these licenses right. Sometimes I think sometimes
Speaker 3: when you get these brands who don't put their whole
Speaker 3: heart into it, it's like they're just in it for
Speaker 3: the money. And now I can't always say that's true,
Speaker 3: but I sometimes feel like deck sometimes I see some
Speaker 3: one who's vertically integrating, it's just like when I see
Speaker 3: like producers or growers.
Speaker 4: It's a different passion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you don't see like not all retail shops
Speaker 2: are vertically integrated. So like Grivey said, you do see
Speaker 2: the passion and care within the product, and then sometimes
Speaker 2: you're able to get a pretty decent deal on it
Speaker 2: because they don't have to do all the different other
Speaker 2: loops and stuff to other growers have to go through them.
Speaker 2: You're literally it's your product that you're growing. You don't
Speaker 2: have to sell and try to make more like you
Speaker 2: can cut price for the consumers. So I think that's
Speaker 2: a good one, So I'll add that now it's on.
Speaker 3: I don't know how many have, oh one, This one's okay,
Speaker 3: I don't know. This one was one of my ones
Speaker 3: where I was, products are not all the same price
Speaker 3: at every disco shop around. But that's kind of like,
Speaker 3: you know, uh, what I said earlier with the try
Speaker 3: many until you find a budget style.
Speaker 2: So what else you got? Don't hit that cleanliness of dispo?
Speaker 2: Don't hit that? Oh no, remember for the idea I
Speaker 2: was trying. Oh I it was just for fifteen okay, bad?
Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, yeah, cleanliness of dispo, I don't That was
Speaker 5: just another one I had, But that that doesn't really
Speaker 5: make me go into a dispo or out of a dispo.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so me, let's see, I think I got
Speaker 3: this one. This one again, I think it's just important
Speaker 3: to note because I think it's customer service is key
Speaker 3: to returning. Customer is not just price, because I think
Speaker 3: it's important because I will go to a price first
Speaker 3: place for a price, but I will not return unless
Speaker 3: you guys are nice, your people are like you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, there's a reason to go back. And
Speaker 3: I think that even falls with your cleanliness too, because
Speaker 3: you got to give me a reason to come back.
Speaker 4: One deal is not gonna be all right. I'm always
Speaker 4: gonna go there.
Speaker 3: This is I found a deal, so I'm going there
Speaker 3: for that deal, you know what I mean. Just because
Speaker 3: you gave me like thirty percent off my first time
Speaker 3: doesn't mean I'm like, oh I'm I'm never gonna go
Speaker 3: anywhere else again.
Speaker 4: There's there's a bunch of dispoads.
Speaker 3: You got to keep me wanting to come back, and
Speaker 3: I think customer service, just like restaurants, is a lot
Speaker 3: of time the reason why you go back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with you.
Speaker 3: Oh shit, hey I didn't like that product. Oh shit,
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry about that. Let me give you ten
Speaker 3: percent off this time.
Speaker 2: You didn't like that product last time?
Speaker 3: Because they're only buying a pre roll oh my god,
Speaker 3: that means the world to me. It's dollar twenty two right, like,
Speaker 3: but these are huge things to people, you know. That's
Speaker 3: good Customer service is realizing that you can outweigh a
Speaker 3: returning customer versus a couple bucks, because I've been through
Speaker 3: shitty experiences, you know, and now I'm not gonna sit
Speaker 3: here in bash dispos. I'm not gonna sit here like,
Speaker 3: oh this does well, this dispeld right. But I've had
Speaker 3: dispos treat me poorly. I've had that and I don't
Speaker 3: want to go back. Yes, and it's never over one product.
Speaker 3: It's always because I realized shit could have happened, that
Speaker 3: could have been on the product's end, that could have
Speaker 3: been there, and that's why I tried.
Speaker 2: Products multiple times.
Speaker 3: But don't treat me like shit, don't be rude, don't
Speaker 3: rush like there's certain rules that I have in my
Speaker 3: head that I want probably prefer that fit my own style.
Speaker 2: So it's like that makes a list, that makes the list.
Speaker 2: Customer service is key. I mean, I'm pretty much out.
Speaker 3: I think I just got the one more just because
Speaker 3: it's expensive. Does that means better? I think that's key
Speaker 3: because I'm sick of people saying, oh, my shoots, stub shelf.
Speaker 3: Because there's certain brands and again, not gonna call the
Speaker 3: brands that I hear.
Speaker 2: Over and over old.
Speaker 3: They're the best, not the best, because they're the top
Speaker 3: shelf and everyone talks about them, so they're popular. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, yeah, they're great, because they are. I'm
Speaker 3: not going to bash the company because I like their shit.
Speaker 4: But guess what doesn't mean there's no other companies that
Speaker 4: are just as good.
Speaker 3: I'm so sick of hearing that because this one's the best,
Speaker 3: that the older ones are inadequate.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. There's a bunch of.
Speaker 2: People at the top. Top top shelf isn't always top shelf.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not true, just because it's paid for better.
Speaker 2: You can find gems on any any level that fits
Speaker 2: your budget. Literally, So we've had top shelf. But that
Speaker 2: group even said that was expensive and smoked block shit
Speaker 2: had dads that's smoked.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, And the it's just so I like that
Speaker 3: one just because it's just because it's more.
Speaker 4: It does not mean it's better.
Speaker 2: No, it absolutely does not mean it's better. So that
Speaker 2: one's good. Yeah, that one's acceptable. Yeah, I mean we
Speaker 2: end up with do we have enough or do we
Speaker 2: end up with less than I have? Nine than I
Speaker 2: wrote down?
Speaker 4: Oh no, did you write down the mark expensive?
Speaker 2: One? So this is what I have? Okay. Number one
Speaker 2: was deals deals deals. We both said that. Two is
Speaker 2: check dates, harvest testing ya what we went through? Three
Speaker 2: ask questions yep, great one. Four ask about rewards. Five,
Speaker 2: Try many shops and support who you like. You don't
Speaker 2: like the rewards, no, no, I mean I just that
Speaker 2: wasn't like a rule. But I mean since we don't
Speaker 2: have ten, keep it, you know, I think that's fine.
Speaker 2: I liked it enough. That was you.
Speaker 3: I'm just that wasn't one of mine. That wasn't a
Speaker 3: for sure one. That's all my h extu.
Speaker 2: One. Try many shops and support who you like.
Speaker 4: Can you add us did that fit your budget and style?
Speaker 3: You know, I just want to add that fit your
Speaker 3: budget style because I think that's really important.
Speaker 2: Just so for where for the shops, Try many shops
Speaker 2: that fit your budget in style?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's important. You got till it fit fine?
Speaker 3: One because that's important because I hate that people just
Speaker 3: go to what's being that's similar to support where you
Speaker 3: liked though, it's like the same thing that I'm saying
Speaker 3: at the end of that. I guess I don't think
Speaker 3: it's the same, but sure, we'll just I'm just saying I'm.
Speaker 4: Making a note right now. You don't have to write
Speaker 4: it like.
Speaker 2: We're not officially writing like a bible right now. Try
Speaker 2: Sorry again, I'm trying.
Speaker 3: If we want to officially make the text, we'll make
Speaker 3: the text later. Bro, let's not goal, we're just coming.
Speaker 2: Up with the ten. It's what you say about try
Speaker 2: many shops.
Speaker 3: Try, try, try multiple shops so you find that one
Speaker 3: that works with your budget and style. I was just
Speaker 3: going to combine them two because you're right, they are similar. Whatever,
Speaker 3: it's fine, Just support you like, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Just whatever. Man, it probably was a big deal. And
Speaker 2: then you had try brands more than once, which I
Speaker 2: was like, on that one, try brands more than once. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: that was the one I was kind of hesitant on. Uh,
Speaker 2: try the vertically integrated brands products to get the best
Speaker 2: bang for your buck. Customer service is key. Top shelf
Speaker 2: isn't always top shelf. Well, I think just because it's
Speaker 2: more expensive, it doesn't mean it's better. I think that's
Speaker 2: a better way to put it, because it's just because
Speaker 2: it's idn't say that. And then just because it's more
Speaker 2: expensive does not mean it's better. Just because it's top
Speaker 2: shelf doesn't mean to be better than the midshelf. But
Speaker 2: just because it's midshelf doesn't mean it's better. You really
Speaker 2: just got to kind of try it, see the price.
Speaker 2: Generally it's a good rule of thumb, but it's not always. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'll right that later.
Speaker 4: Then, yeah, that's some saying we don't have to write it.
Speaker 2: I'm like right now, well I am, because I'm gonna
Speaker 2: post it.
Speaker 3: Oh, you don't have to post it in six hours,
Speaker 3: like post it a few days.
Speaker 2: We'll come up with it. And then number ten. We
Speaker 2: don't have a ten.
Speaker 3: So did you do customer services key to returning customers,
Speaker 3: not just price? Hmmm? Did you put what kind of product?
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean it's a better You didn't put that one.
Speaker 3: I thought we liked that one.
Speaker 2: Which one? What kind of product?
Speaker 3: What kind of product it is doesn't mean it's a
Speaker 3: better product, Like meaning it's.
Speaker 2: RaSE it versus resident doesn't it's gonna be better.
Speaker 4: Just because it's hashis and coming doesn't mean its gonna
Speaker 4: be better. You just gotta kind of try your products.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's just that's my own. You don't have
Speaker 4: to agree to it, no worries.
Speaker 3: So at least got nine for you. So see that
Speaker 3: was fun, you know, I enjoyed that. You know, we'll
Speaker 3: make a tenth one and you'll have to check the
Speaker 3: social media post to see the final tenth one.
Speaker 2: Yeah there you go boom. But yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: If then then, like I said, we'll kind of so
Speaker 3: we'll cut the clip of the last do you want
Speaker 3: to read through those one last time?
Speaker 2: So we can cut that.
Speaker 3: So these are just like nine top nine that we
Speaker 3: came up with live and we're gonna comeup with the
Speaker 3: last one during the social media post. Stay tuned.
Speaker 2: Deals deals deals.
Speaker 4: Oh these are we didn't even say the title.
Speaker 3: This is uh uh for if you're visiting your dispo
Speaker 3: for your first time, or just honestly tips for people
Speaker 3: visiting dispos.
Speaker 2: Yes, so here we go. Deal deals deals, check dates,
Speaker 2: harvest testing, check those dates. Ask many questions. If you
Speaker 2: want okay to ask questions, it is okay. Ask about
Speaker 2: reward the reward programs that the dispos have it, try
Speaker 2: mini shops, find the one that works with your style,
Speaker 2: support who you like, don't feel don't feel you have
Speaker 2: to go to a certain shop because it's right down
Speaker 2: the street. Well, try brands more than once. The reason
Speaker 2: we say that at the Dispo is because you never
Speaker 2: know the first product might not be the best one.
Speaker 4: Because Dave made that point.
Speaker 3: Not everyone's storing their ship right, So like you, you
Speaker 3: got to really try shit more than once, because just
Speaker 3: because one Dispo store right.
Speaker 2: Doesn't mean the other one is. So try the vertically
Speaker 2: integrated brands products. Vertically integrated means they own the retail shop,
Speaker 2: but they also go flower and they probably process some
Speaker 2: of that either edibles or concentrating. It usually means they
Speaker 2: have a little more.
Speaker 3: Uh uh credit or not credit, a little bit more,
Speaker 3: a little bit of money in the game, a little
Speaker 3: bit more uh.
Speaker 4: I want to say nuts in the game.
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out better a little bit
Speaker 3: more nuts the game. The reason why I'm saying that
Speaker 3: is like that was the way I was taught to
Speaker 3: say my slang. Was taught to say that when you
Speaker 3: put more into it, it means you have more to lose. Yep,
Speaker 3: That's why I was taught your nuts because that's you
Speaker 3: don't want to lose your nuts, right, So that's it was.
Speaker 4: It was a horrible side of allowed terms.
Speaker 2: So that was where we go on. In the next one,
Speaker 2: Customers Nervous is key number eight, and then the last
Speaker 2: one we were bantering off of. But I still have
Speaker 2: top Shelf as an always. Top Shelf was number nine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just uh it just just because it's more
Speaker 3: expensive doesn't mean it's gonna be better always.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I like that, man, And that's cool man. Yeah, good
Speaker 3: good Google tips if you're.
