00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray w Bzoston's Radio.

2
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:09.960
<v Speaker 2>A couple of notes here, if I could very quickly

3
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>points of personal privilege, if I'd be so kind, if

4
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you'd be so kind. We got some of our shows

5
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:22.199
<v Speaker 2>on Monday night, some of our hours on Monday night

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 2>got posted, and then they for some reason were taken

7
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.640
<v Speaker 2>down for a few hours. So I just want to

8
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 2>call to your attention that on Monday night, from eight

9
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.119
<v Speaker 2>until nine and then from nine until ten, we did

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>two hours with the admissions directors, Bill Fitzimmons of Harvard University,

11
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Harvard College and Grant Goslin, the admissions direct admission director

12
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 2>at Dean of Admission at Boston College. If you have

13
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>had had any trouble, had any trouble finding those two hours,

14
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.159
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of information in both of those hours,

15
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>between the phone calls, the question that I have asked,

16
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.079
<v Speaker 2>but also the answers that were given by Bill Fitzsimmons

17
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>and Grant Gosling. They're invaluable if you have children, grandchildren, nieces,

18
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:15.079
<v Speaker 2>nephews who are in the eighth, ninth, tenth, even as

19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 2>late as the eleventh grade, as they begin to prepare

20
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.040
<v Speaker 2>thinking about what colleges they might like to apply to,

21
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 2>or if they want to apply to college, if they're

22
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.799
<v Speaker 2>going to take a year off and maybe wait a year,

23
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 2>and there's all sorts of options. But the point is

24
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>that those two hours Monday nights eight and Monday nights

25
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock hour, they're now both posted. They're up there,

26
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 2>so please take advantage of those. In addition, the last

27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 2>event scheduled event that we have this year is what

28
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.959
<v Speaker 2>we call the Night Side Charity Combine, and which we

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>give all sorts of charities an opportunity to appear in

30
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>the show free of charge and they can talk about

31
00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 2>what their charity tries to accomplish now I know it

32
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>in the eight o'clock hour. Over the year, there are

33
00:02:03.319 --> 00:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>many of various charities that we have talked about, we

34
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>have given you information on. But if you're in one

35
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 2>of those and you'd like to have a second bite

36
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:21.599
<v Speaker 2>of the apple on Friday night, twentieth of December, just

37
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>you got to get in contact with us. Tonight's the

38
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>last night. We're going to start to pull the schedule

39
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>together tomorrow, So after tomorrow morning, by nine o'clock ten o'clock,

40
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going to shut down the application. So if you

41
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.360
<v Speaker 2>were involved in a charity, particularly if you're somebody who's

42
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>running a charity, you have to if you would like

43
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>to be on the show. You do it all from

44
00:02:44.199 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>the comfort of your home telephone. You don't have to

45
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 2>drive to a studio. I broadcast remotely. We'll interview you

46
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.599
<v Speaker 2>via telephone. There's no inconvenience whatsoever. It gives you an

47
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to highlight your charity's efforts for our audience. You

48
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>do not have to be a charity from the greater

49
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Boston area. We have charities. We've had charities from as

50
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>far away as Wisconsin in prior years. Most of them

51
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:14.919
<v Speaker 2>ninety five percent of them are from New England and

52
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.159
<v Speaker 2>probably ninety percent of them are from within eastern Massachusetts.

53
00:03:19.159 --> 00:03:23.439
<v Speaker 2>But we try to be as flexible as possible. Here's

54
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 2>what you have to do. You need to send me

55
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.840
<v Speaker 2>an email, and please don't send me an email that

56
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>says I've heard about a great charity in Springfield. I'm

57
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 2>not sure what the name is. But no, we do

58
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.319
<v Speaker 2>not make calls out. If you're involved in a charity

59
00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>and you want to be on the show, or you

60
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 2>want a representative of your group to be in the show.

61
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>You have to either say hey, I'm willing to go.

62
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 2>You call you send us an email and I'll give

63
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 2>you that in a moment, or you find the president

64
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.039
<v Speaker 2>of the group who's going to go on or whatever.

65
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>We don't want to get involved in any of the

66
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 2>internescing and warfare within the charity, So I don't want

67
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 2>to be told by some person, well that person wasn't authorized. No,

68
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.319

00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 2>this to you, but we have to. We have to

<v Speaker 2>on the radio with us, and you can talk about

95
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 2>what your charity does, what your charity might need most.

96
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Most charities are always looking for more volunteers. Some need

97
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>more funding. You can make your pitch, you can give

98
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 2>your website and spread the word, simple as that. Okay,

99
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Now I want to talk this hour. We have three

100
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>subjects that I'd like to talk about tonight. First hour,

101
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to talk about the arrival of cannabis cafes

102
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 2>pot cafes here in Massachusetts. Look, marijuana is now legal.

103
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 2>It's a little different than alcohol from the point of

104
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 2>view that everybody knows. You can go to a restaurant

105
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 2>and order a drink, unless it's not a dry town.

106
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.360
<v Speaker 2>There are still a few towns in Massachusetts where you

107
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:25.519
<v Speaker 2>have to bring your own or whatever. But most restaurants,

108
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:30.120
<v Speaker 2>most communities order drink before dinner, with dinner, after dinner,

109
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want. There are bars you can go to.

110
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows that. Okay, you can drink it home. You

111
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 2>can't drink on the street. You're not supposed to be

112
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>walking down the street with an open container. I think

113
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you know that. You're certainly not supposed to drive. Pot

114
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 2>now is legal in Massachusetts. It's been legal, I guess

115
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.279
<v Speaker 2>for eight years now. First it started off as medicinal,

116
00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and now it's whatever you want, go to a pot

117
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 2>shop by the pot, enjoyed in the privacy of your

118
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 2>own home or your backyard, I guess. But now the

119
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:02.079
<v Speaker 2>next step is this cafe. So are you looking forward

120
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>to that? I assume there's going to be a lot

121
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>of people going to say, hey, no, I'd like to

122
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 2>be able to go out and as opposed to having

123
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:16.360
<v Speaker 2>a drink with friends, go out and smoke some cannabis.

124
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what you think about this and

125
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>how it's and there are still regulations that have to

126
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 2>be developed. We'll talk about that. That's the topic this hour.

127
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Next hour, we're going to talk about whether or not

128
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>jaywalking should be well not legalized. I mean, it's it's

129
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>it's basically decriminalized in Massachusetts. Okay, we'll talk about that,

130
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:45.720
<v Speaker 2>and then later on tonight, I'd like to explain to

131
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 2>you that Congress has yet to act, has yet to

132
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>act on a piece of legislation which would make sure

133
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that AM radio remains in automobiles produced in this country.

134
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to that later. So let's talk on the

135
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.639
<v Speaker 2>other side of the break here about cannabis. Uh, you

136
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>don't have to be a pot smoker to think it's

137
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 2>a good idea. You might think, hey, you know, if

138
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 2>I have a right to go and have my course

139
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:18.319
<v Speaker 2>lights at a bar or at a restaurant, why shouldn't

140
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 2>other people be able to go and smoke whatever they

141
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>want to smoke. I mean, it's interesting that cigarettes have

142
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:27.959
<v Speaker 2>long been Now what at least twenty years there was

143
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>this you can't have you can't smoke at a restaurant.

144
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>Remember that, leave the Lucky strikes and the Campmeel's at home, whatever,

145
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 2>the Winston's, whatever, you smoke. I'm not a smoker. So

146
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 2>my father was a big smoker, but he went cold

147
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.639
<v Speaker 2>turkey when the Surgeon General's report came out, and thank

148
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>god he did. So we'll talk about that. I'm going

149
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.399
<v Speaker 2>to open up the phone lines. I want to get

150
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.639
<v Speaker 2>a sense of my audience. Are you concerned about this

151
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 2>or do you welcome it? Six seven, two, five, four

152
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty.

153
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 2>And you know it may be that someone's gonna call

154
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 2>me up and say, hey, look, I'm a pot smoker.

155
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not. But someone might call up and say, I'm

156
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>a pot smoker. I'm a regular pot smoker, but I'm

157
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 2>not comfortable with the idea of going to a bar.

158
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:14.120
<v Speaker 2>So I'll bet you we're going to get people, I hope,

159
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>on both sides of this issue who have a different

160
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 2>relationship with marijuana. I don't think it's going to break

161
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>down the anti marijuana line or the pro marijuana line

162
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.279
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, but It's up to you to prove

163
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 2>me right or prove me wrong. Six months, seven, two, five, four,

164
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty, six months, seven nine thirty back on night

165
00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Side right after this.

166
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the window World

167
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.679
<v Speaker 1>light Side Studios on WBZ, the news radio.

168
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.000
<v Speaker 2>My daughter has a beautiful cooky dog. I gotta tell you,

169
00:09:54.519 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 2>just an amazing dog. I literally am broadcasting and she

170
00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>opened the door. She thought it was on a phone call.

171
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I was like, hey, you know, I do a radio show. Anyway.

172
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 2>It was a never had that happen before, but it was.

173
00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>It was fun, it was it was radio and it's

174
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 2>most real. Okay, so you know the question. The question

175
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:21.399
<v Speaker 2>is cannabis cafes in Massachusetts. They will be once they

176
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:25.919
<v Speaker 2>are opened, and they're available widely. I mean, it's just

177
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be one in downtown Boston and in Springfield.

178
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they're gonna pop up in many locations, and

179
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 2>there are rules and regulations to be written. And we're

180
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>not talking about being able to go somewhere this weekend.

181
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you a year from now, I'll bet

182
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you'll be able to go to any of the number

183
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 2>of places, and some of them will be in coordination

184
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>with yoga studios. I mean, there's a whole world here

185
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.639
<v Speaker 2>that's going to be unveiled. But I want to hear

186
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 2>what you think. Let's go first to Bobby in West Virginia. Bobby,

187
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I know you're not in Massachusetts, but you called in

188
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 2>early and be well, then happy to get your point

189
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>of view on this. Go ahead, Bob.

190
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 3>Well, here's the thing. You know, the Constitution only has

191
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 3>eighteen things that the federal government has purview over, and

192
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't see how they got their hands and everything.

193
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 3>And I think it's perfectly legitimate. People want to, you know,

194
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 3>smoke weed or whatever. That's up to them. As long

195
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 3>as they don't cause any accidents or cause any trouble

196
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:24.840
<v Speaker 3>with it, that's pervaltly fine with me. I think the

197
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:30.120
<v Speaker 3>federal government's gone way, way overboard, and I think it's interesting.

198
00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.720
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting, Bob, because even though marijuana is legal in Massachusetts,

199
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.120
<v Speaker 2>it's not legal under federal standards.

200
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.279
<v Speaker 4>Now.

201
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:42.200
<v Speaker 2>The Feds are not alcohol, tobacco, firearms or whatever they're not,

202
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 2>or the DEA agents are not going to break into

203
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>pot shops. But there's a lot of people who when

204
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>they opened up cannabis businesses here. They had trouble getting

205
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 2>loans from banks because banks, I think, are still hesitant

206
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:04.559
<v Speaker 2>to give law owns to marijuana establishments because there is

207
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>it's still outlawed as a on the books federally. So

208
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.919
<v Speaker 2>so let me ask you. Are you somebody who who

209
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:15.360
<v Speaker 2>in vibes or are you just somebody who's open minded

210
00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:16.559
<v Speaker 2>and saying, hey, you.

211
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Know, I'm I'm basically a libertarian. I don't believe in

212
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 3>access to authority by the federal government.

213
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:23.799
<v Speaker 2>The group.

214
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.519
<v Speaker 3>What do we do with our private lives. It's perfectly okay.

215
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't care what my neighbor does as long as

216
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 3>they don't do anything to harm me or you know,

217
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.000
<v Speaker 3>whatever they're doing is fine with me.

218
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 2>So let me run this one by you. Here in Massachusetts,

219
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:42.840
<v Speaker 2>right now, you can go to a uh A dispensary

220
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 2>and buy whatever amount of we be you're permitted to buy.

221
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's an an ounce or whatever.

222
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.840
<v Speaker 2>You can't smoke it on the street, you can't smoke

223
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it at a public venue, but you can go to

224
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>your backyard and smoke it with friends. You can sit

225
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.000
<v Speaker 2>in your house in the wintertime smokeing with or whatever.

226
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:03.159
<v Speaker 2>So it's treated a little differently than beer. I mean,

227
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.279
<v Speaker 2>I can go and have a couple of COIs beers

228
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 2>at a bar on a restaurant, but someone else can't

229
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.960
<v Speaker 2>go and smoke weed at a bar a restaurant. So

230
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 2>it's not But when this happens and there are cannabis shops,

231
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:21.639
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be very equal. Well, you mentioned concerns

232
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.200
<v Speaker 2>about Look, there are plenty of people who drive drunk

233
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>and come out of a bar at night, and.

234
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:32.440
<v Speaker 3>They've got to figure out how to They got to

235
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 3>figure out how to judge if somebody's inebriated on marijuana,

236
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:40.600
<v Speaker 3>so they make sure they're not going to be a

237
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:42.080
<v Speaker 3>menace to the public safe.

238
00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's part of the problem you just identified. It

239
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 2>is there are all sorts of ways to do breathalyze,

240
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the tests by alcohol content tests to whether or not

241
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 2>people are under the influence of alcohol. My understanding is

242
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 2>that there's no such test that is available for people

243
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 2>under the influence of weed.

244
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 3>That is correct. I've heard that, sir. Uh, So that's

245
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 3>that's a that's a quandary we've got to overcome pretty much. Uh,

246
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.159
<v Speaker 3>make sure that people aren't abusing that privilege of being

247
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.000
<v Speaker 3>able to uh imbibe whatever it is in marijuana at

248
00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:19.480
<v Speaker 3>your local you know, marijuana bar or whatever, and not

249
00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 3>cause any accidents and a public safetyation alive.

250
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess. I guess police can can save someone's speech

251
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 2>is slurred or or their gate was unsteady or just

252
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.399
<v Speaker 2>all of that. But if you take a blood alcohol

253
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 2>you know, if you take a breathalyzer and you pop up,

254
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>you know one point three. You know, That's why most

255
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 2>lawyers tell people you're going down. Yeah, precisely.

256
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:51.159
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to put you down as a yes, yes, sir.

257
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.639
<v Speaker 3>You can rest assured that I am a yes, but

258
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:57.519
<v Speaker 3>to with a little bit of limitation there. You've got

259
00:14:57.559 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 3>to figure out how to make sure that public safety

260
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 3>is is handled and that people are safe and that

261
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.480
<v Speaker 3>sort of thing. And it was a pleasure. I enjoyed talk.

262
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I was surfing the radio wave, uh, and I picked

263
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:12.960
<v Speaker 3>your folks up, uh sort of between stations, and I said, hey,

264
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.120
<v Speaker 3>this sounded like a pretty cool show. You they'll call

265
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.720
<v Speaker 3>them up. I've been to Massachusetts a long time agoit

266
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>and I like them. I didn't live there. I went

267
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.240
<v Speaker 3>through there, and you know, I had fried clams. I

268
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 3>thought that was cool.

269
00:15:27.120 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 5>Stuff.

270
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.960
<v Speaker 2>We have plenty, We have plenty of listeners in West Virginia. Obviously,

271
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 2>you guys get the mountains down there. Is it is

272
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>your first time listening to us tonight.

00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:36.840
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

274
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 3>I picked you up briefly about a month and a

275
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 3>half ago, and uh I wrote your uh, your your

276
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:49.360
<v Speaker 3>telephone number down and uh uh tonight, I was listening

277
00:15:49.399 --> 00:15:52.960
<v Speaker 3>to uh talk radio here locally, and I was surfing

278
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.240
<v Speaker 3>because talk radio is sort of kind of quit. So

279
00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:57.399
<v Speaker 3>I picked you up and go, hey, these guys. You know,

280
00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't like that guy Dan Ray. His daughter had

281
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 3>as a Wells Corny's. Oh yeah, those little, short, little

<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. His name is Mustard.

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.480
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

285
00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a she. She she adopted him from a shelter.

286
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Uh so he's about three years old. We've had she's

287
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:18.960
<v Speaker 2>had him now for about a year and a half.

288
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 2>He is the best. I mean, I love dogs. Okay,

289
00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 2>if you listen to the end of my show. In

291
00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:29.879

292
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.840
<v Speaker 2>but she opened the door and all of a sudden,

293
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Mustard comes flying in. I've spent more time with Mustard

294
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.679
<v Speaker 2>the last six hours than I have in the last

295
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 2>six months. It's like I just you know, he was

296
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>with us during the summer, but she and her husband

297
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 2>work in San Francisco, so we haven't seen them in

298
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.840
<v Speaker 2>a while. So it's kind of the beginning of Christmas

299
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.159
<v Speaker 2>for us, if you will. And uh and for me,

300
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the best Christmas present was once Mustard walked in the

301
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:58.000
<v Speaker 2>door this afternoon.

302
00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:04.400
<v Speaker 3>I can imagine. We have hunting dogs. We have a

303
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 3>I go down to Georgia and I hunt wild hogs

304
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 3>and uh, there's.

305
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 2>No limit on I understand the correct no limit.

306
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.759
<v Speaker 3>On those there. And they want to be rid of them.

307
00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.279
<v Speaker 3>There are so many of them, you you. Uh, the

308
00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 3>game warden will actually say make sure that you if

309
00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.200
<v Speaker 3>you're dressing out the animal, uh, you make sure that

310
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 3>uh poured it all out of there.

311
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 5>You know.

312
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Usually they'll allow you to dig a dick big ditch,

313
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 3>but I'm not going to say that.

314
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:33.359
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

315
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 3>And you know, but they are tasty. What we put

316
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.200
<v Speaker 3>them in the ground to cook them. We we dig

317
00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:43.759
<v Speaker 3>a big pit. We put rocks and uh and messk

318
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.000
<v Speaker 3>he and cook it up for about you know, until

319
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 3>it gets super hot. We wrap the pig up and

320
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 3>burl app and and chicken wire and put them in

321
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.359
<v Speaker 3>the ground. Bury it for twelve hours, come back unbury

322
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:57.359
<v Speaker 3>the big and uh and it's in. The meat just

00:17:57.440 --> 00:17:58.519
<v Speaker 3>falls right off the bottom.

<v Speaker 2>see what people have to say. We're gonna go to

351
00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>Glenn Glenn is local in Brighton, Glenn next one night

<v Speaker 2>Side go on hits Her.

353
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. I told your producer Rob that I think I'm

354
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 5>gonna call you working for I voted to legalized pot.

355
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:32.519
<v Speaker 5>I smoke it sometimes, but I've got some problems with this.

356
00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

357
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.400
<v Speaker 5>First of all, before pot was legal, it had a

358
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.599
<v Speaker 5>sweet cinnamon smell. Now it smells a cold dead skunk,

359
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 5>like roadkill. It's gross. Uh, It's really bad. But I

360
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.279
<v Speaker 5>think uh and our friend Tim would agree with me

361
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.359
<v Speaker 5>on this. Waltam is the marijuana mecca of Massachusetts. People

362
00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 5>smoking on the street. I mean, you can't go anywhere

363
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.359
<v Speaker 5>in Waltam. It smells like roadkill. It makes your eyes water,

364
00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.839
<v Speaker 5>your nose gets.

365
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Telling me you're a pot smoker, occasional pot smoker. Yeah,

366
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 2>but you're not in favor of cannabis cafes. It sounds

367
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.799
<v Speaker 2>like the point I didn't want to miss that. I

368
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.279
<v Speaker 2>understand you correctly.

369
00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 5>Yes, okay, yes, you understood me correctly, because I heard

370
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.319
<v Speaker 5>you say it at night. It's at the top of

371
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.480
<v Speaker 5>the show. I'm like, this is a this is I

372
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.359
<v Speaker 5>got a call on this because.

373
00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Like, yeah, glad you did.

374
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Well. Here's the thing, Like the cigarette they don't have

375
00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 5>some tobacco bars anymore. I mean employees that can't get

376
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.000
<v Speaker 5>that are looking for work. They don't want that to

377
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:35.160
<v Speaker 5>be They don't want a job with their asthma, their

378
00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 5>autoimmune system. They don't want that smell. Let's say someone

379
00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:41.400
<v Speaker 5>needs a job and there's a good job at a

380
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.160
<v Speaker 5>cannabis bar. But now they're going to smell. They're going

381
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.160
<v Speaker 5>to smell like a you know, pippel pew at the

382
00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.039
<v Speaker 5>end of the there, it's going to be in their hair,

383
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 5>it's going to be on their clothes. Well.

384
00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 2>But at the same time, if you go to work

385
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 2>at a pot shop, just as it like if you

386
00:20:55.400 --> 00:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>went to work at a cigar bar. Remember, there was

387
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:01.599
<v Speaker 2>a Boston medical director I think she's now the medical

388
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:06.440
<v Speaker 2>director in Los Angeles who was concerned about the smell

389
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 2>of cigar smoke inside cigar bars.

390
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I remember that.

391
00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I get it. Well, I guess so. I mean it

392
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:21.880
<v Speaker 2>might be you know, you might be offended by the

393
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.720
<v Speaker 2>smell of beer inside the Boston Garden and her self

394
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:26.799
<v Speaker 2>is game. But the idea is that people who are

395
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 2>going there and know what it's all about. Same way

396
00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.119
<v Speaker 2>with pot shops. I guess if you go, you're going

397
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:33.000
<v Speaker 2>to deal with whatever the smell is. But I got

398
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.400
<v Speaker 2>you down as a big uh.

399
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.279
<v Speaker 5>Well, I guess the webinarian too, right.

400
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:40.279
<v Speaker 2>You talked, you talked about you know.

401
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm going on this. Yeah, I heard it. I mean,

402
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 5>if it happens, I don't think I'll lose a lot

403
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 5>of sleep over it. But it's just the inconsistency. They

404
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:54.039
<v Speaker 5>have hookah bars, but they don't have you know, marl

405
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 5>barrel bars. It's just I find that, you know.

406
00:21:58.720 --> 00:22:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Let mean, are the hookah bars in operation in Massachusetts.

407
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna sound really dumbed when I asked that question.

408
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 5>But don't know, I've never been to one. I've always

409
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:13.640
<v Speaker 5>wanted until we're twenty years ago they were now, I

410
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 5>don't know if they if they still are.

411
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Smoke well, let me skuse, what do you smoke at

412
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:19.960
<v Speaker 2>a hoopah bar. Call me naive, but I mean.

413
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 5>You smoke a hookah pipe. I've never smote the hookah pipe.

414
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:24.799
<v Speaker 5>I'm stilling.

415
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>What is in the hookah pipe?

416
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. It's some kind of Eastern or Middle

417
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.119
<v Speaker 5>Eastern tobacco. Somebody from the Middle East can explain it.

418
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I can't.

419
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:41.960
<v Speaker 5>Okay, a lot of Islamic people smoke it. I don't know.

420
00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.440
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

421
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe someone, But it's not like some sort of religious

422
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 2>experience when you go to a Catholic church and they

423
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.440
<v Speaker 2>had incense, and some people like the smell of incense.

424
00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Some people don't like the smell of incense. But that's

425
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 2>part of I love you, you know, ceremony. So I

426
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>got you down. You're you're my first U. A person

427
00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:05.160

428
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 2>in time to see people's home.

429
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:10.880
<v Speaker 5>You Willian let me go. I am a small Republican,

430
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 5>small ill libertarian. I'm sort of half and half David

00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.039
<v Speaker 7>I'll give you the answer and then a little commentary

447
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.799
<v Speaker 7>on the subject.

448
00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:57.519
<v Speaker 4>What's the question?

449
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, here in Massachusetts we basically legalized marijuana about eight

450
00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 2>years ago, medicinal marijuana. Now we have marijuana dispensary. You

451
00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:13.480
<v Speaker 2>probably have them in Maine, and we are now beginning

452
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 2>to formulate regulations which would allow cannabis cafes or pot shop,

453
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 2>park bars, whatever you want to call them, where it's

454
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.440
<v Speaker 2>just like I can go down to the corner bar

455
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:25.920
<v Speaker 2>with the corner restaurant and have a couple of you know,

456
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.960
<v Speaker 2>course lights or a glass of red wine. Now you'd

457
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.759
<v Speaker 2>be able to extend the same opportunities to people who

458
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:39.880
<v Speaker 2>would prefer to smoke a joint. So the question is

459
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:41.799
<v Speaker 2>is that a good idea, or do we keep it

460
00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:44.799
<v Speaker 2>where it is right now, which is you buy the

461
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.599
<v Speaker 2>stuff at the dispensary and you go home and you

462
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 2>share it with your friends, or you smoke it yourself.

463
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

464
00:24:51.960 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 7>Well I don't fit in either of those categories because.

465
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't I have it, said someone all I retired

466
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.839
<v Speaker 4>and getting near the end of the road here. I haven't.

467
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.440
<v Speaker 7>In high school, I was with some folks and young

468
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:09.880
<v Speaker 7>and I smoked a few left handed cigarettes. I understand

469
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 7>what it is to have to self medicate and to

470
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 7>have a few laughs and relax and stuff. But that's,

471
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 7>you know, when I was twenty, and that's a long

472
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:18.880
<v Speaker 7>time ago.

473
00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:22.920
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you. Let me ask you the

474
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 2>threshold question as someone now again, you're in Maine. I

475
00:25:28.160 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 2>assume marijuana is legally made, correct, do you have to

476
00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 2>special subjects? Okay?

477
00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:32.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

478
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 2>When when that was on the ballot or whatever? Are

479
00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 2>you okay with that? I mean, are there are people

480
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 2>who are who are who are abstainers from alcohol? They're

481
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:47.480
<v Speaker 2>okay with package stores? So what's your position on the

482
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:50.920
<v Speaker 2>legalization of marijuana in Maine? Up or down?

483
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 7>So I'm not a great socialite with conversation, but I

484
00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.759
<v Speaker 7>have some courage of my convictions. For lack of a

485
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:05.000
<v Speaker 7>better commentary, I have read where it says, let's say

486
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 7>cover you opened up to can of worms with other stuff.

487
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 7>I will address that smoke thing with you. Solomon wrote

488
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 7>the Proverbs chapter twenty verse one.

489
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 4>Wine is a mocker.

490
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 7>Strong drink is raging, and anybody deceived by that is

491
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:21.160
<v Speaker 7>not why so.

492
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:25.000
<v Speaker 4>I definitely concur with the wisdom.

493
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:29.319
<v Speaker 7>I was a teenager and had self medicated with alcohol

494
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.440
<v Speaker 7>is a problem.

495
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.519
<v Speaker 4>So Solomon is smarter than.

496
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Most of you. Know. Again, I don't want to get

497
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:38.000
<v Speaker 2>into debate with you, but I don't self MEDICAI. But

498
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I enjoy glass of wine with dinner, and I sometimes

499
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 2>I'll have a course like before. But let's get back

500
00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to the topic at hand. We could debate that some

501
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:53.000
<v Speaker 2>other night marijuana did you when when it became legally made?

502
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 2>Did you welcome it? You didn't have to use it,

503
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:55.559
<v Speaker 2>did you welcome it?

504
00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 7>I spoke to thousands of people on the subject, and

505
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.759
<v Speaker 7>I didn't rest of the matter.

506
00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:02.680
<v Speaker 4>Because I was a child.

507
00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.039
<v Speaker 7>I acted as a child, I thought as a child,

508
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 7>and when I became a man, I put.

509
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:09.079
<v Speaker 4>Away childish things.

510
00:27:09.119 --> 00:27:11.759
<v Speaker 7>So there is a text and a new testament that

511
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.839
<v Speaker 7>says be sober and be vigilant because your adversary to

512
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.960
<v Speaker 7>devil goes about like a roaring lion seeking who it

513
00:27:19.039 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 7>can devour. So we have enough trouble thinking straight in

514
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:25.839
<v Speaker 7>America and on the street, corner with the neighbors and

515
00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:27.519
<v Speaker 7>everywhere you go with the store.

516
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 4>It's important to be as clear minded as you can.

517
00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:35.720
<v Speaker 7>So I wasn't passing judgment on anybody because they're drinking

518
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:36.519
<v Speaker 7>or there smoking.

519
00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:38.279
<v Speaker 4>It's a personal choice.

520
00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:42.240
<v Speaker 7>And as for me, I would say, you know a

521
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 7>lot of brain cells have been wounded in the young age.

522
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 7>They recover if you stay away from that stuff. But

523
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 7>I have friends that are still you know, like teenage

524
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.720
<v Speaker 7>child you know, high school kids still smoking, still partying,

525
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.200
<v Speaker 7>and there's a limit. At some point you just kind

526
00:27:59.240 --> 00:28:01.319
<v Speaker 7>of grow up and put a way to childish stuff.

527
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 7>I don't endorse it. I don't embrace it. That's my

528
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 7>personal choice. But I don't condemn people for us. And

529
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:11.279
<v Speaker 7>it does think the guys right. I was in Boston

530
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.880
<v Speaker 7>last week to see my medical specialist, and the skunk

531
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.519
<v Speaker 7>smell is you know, while you're going down the road,

532
00:28:19.039 --> 00:28:21.319
<v Speaker 7>you don't even have to be walking on the street corner.

533
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:24.319
<v Speaker 4>You can smell it and it has an effect. It does.

534
00:28:24.839 --> 00:28:30.799
<v Speaker 7>It does affect people that get exposed to secondhand smoke.

535
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:34.559
<v Speaker 7>It does affect people. So it's I don't think it's

536
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:37.400
<v Speaker 7>a healthy thing. I think Uncle Sam is just like,

537
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 7>give me your money and you can do what.

538
00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:40.200
<v Speaker 4>You want to do.

539
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 7>That doesn't make it right from a moral From a

540
00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 7>moral perspective, to my opinion, just try to be as

541
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:51.319
<v Speaker 7>clear minded as you can and dealing with issues, because

542
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:57.279
<v Speaker 7>once you get over the edge with chemicals or whatever

543
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 7>you're putting in your body, there you're thinking, and so

544
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:03.599
<v Speaker 7>the judgment becomes imbalanced.

545
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.640
<v Speaker 2>So I think, I think, I think I got your point,

546
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.119
<v Speaker 2>but I'm up on a break, so I gotta let

547
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>you run. Appreciate your call. Always happy to hear a

548
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>couple of Bible quotes. Thank you very much, appreciate it.

549
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 2>We'll take a break, coming right back on Nightside.

550
00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

551
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

552
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 2>Forget a full lines here, let's keep rolling. I'm gonna

553
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:29.079
<v Speaker 2>try to move people a little bit more quickly. Jim

554
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:30.839
<v Speaker 2>in Kansas City, Jim Next on Nightsiger.

555
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Right ahead, Dan Hi, longtime, no talk.

556
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 8>How are you doing great?

557
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:36.359
<v Speaker 2>What you're taking this?

558
00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:41.920
<v Speaker 3>Jim Well, to quote a very wise woman, just say no,

559
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:45.279
<v Speaker 3>say no.

560
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So, so I assume your opposed to the legalization

561
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:53.400
<v Speaker 2>and therefore certainly you don't want cannabis cafes.

562
00:29:54.839 --> 00:30:00.799
<v Speaker 3>Well, just for me personally, I'm a completely averse to it.

563
00:30:01.519 --> 00:30:03.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't want it around me. I don't want to

564
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.680
<v Speaker 3>be around it. I don't want to be around people

565
00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:09.599
<v Speaker 3>who are on it. I don't want it in the schools.

566
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:13.079
<v Speaker 3>I don't want it in society. I don't want to

567
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.799
<v Speaker 3>have to pay increased insurance rates as a result of

568
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:16.359
<v Speaker 3>the use of it.

569
00:30:18.240 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 2>But totally other.

570
00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:21.319
<v Speaker 3>People want it. If other people want to do it,

571
00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:24.319
<v Speaker 3>I just want to make sure that they're paying the price,

572
00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:28.519
<v Speaker 3>not me insurance. I mean, I want to encourage employers

573
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:31.119
<v Speaker 3>to drug test people at work so that we I mean,

574
00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:33.319
<v Speaker 3>you're at words you're hearing all the time about safety,

575
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:36.079
<v Speaker 3>safety safety. I mean to me, people who are on

576
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.480
<v Speaker 3>they think because they haven't smoked it for twenty four hours,

577
00:30:40.519 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 3>they're off of it. No, it stays in your blood

578
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:47.680
<v Speaker 3>for on a seven eight days, and if they're a safety,

579
00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:48.640
<v Speaker 3>they're hazard.

580
00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:49.079
<v Speaker 7>You know.

581
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:50.920
<v Speaker 3>I want to you know, I mean drug testing. I

582
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:53.240
<v Speaker 3>want to see more drug testing. And I'd be interested

583
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:57.920
<v Speaker 3>in knowing how insurance corporations if a marijuana cafe that's

584
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:01.079
<v Speaker 3>what we're talking about, Yeah, don't they have to have

585
00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:02.960
<v Speaker 3>insurance in order to open up? Or where do they

586
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:06.519
<v Speaker 3>get insurance for it? And how does the insurance corporation?

587
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, what pool do they put them in? Is

588
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.200
<v Speaker 3>it just a must be like a state pool or

589
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:16.720
<v Speaker 3>because if it's if it's if it's illegal nationally, I

590
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.000
<v Speaker 3>would think that it would be illegal for them to

591
00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:23.359
<v Speaker 3>take the proceed from a policy of an organization that US.

592
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how that works out. I don't even

593
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:27.319
<v Speaker 3>think it's legal for them to put the money in

594
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:29.799
<v Speaker 3>a bank or for a bank to knowingly accept it.

595
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:34.200
<v Speaker 2>So there are some applications there. Yep, you've raised You've

596
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 2>raised about fifteen issues. I wish I had enough time

597
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 2>to address them all.

598
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:42.559
<v Speaker 3>But you talk about library library cards. Man, that's important stuff,

599
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:46.759
<v Speaker 3>all right. Like I say, I wanted drug testing, drug testing,

600
00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.759
<v Speaker 3>drug testing, drug testing because it stays in your blood

601
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:52.680
<v Speaker 3>for a long time. It's not like alcohol. I don't

602
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.559
<v Speaker 3>like when people compare to alcohol because it's not like alcohol.

603
00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:57.519
<v Speaker 3>That stuff gets you high and keeps you high for

604
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 3>a long time. Even though people, the people who use

605
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:04.039
<v Speaker 3>it and they're on it, I don't appreciate their opinion

606
00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 3>on whether or not they're high. I think they're still high,

607
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 3>like a day or two, a long time after they

608
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.960
<v Speaker 3>use it.

609
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:14.039
<v Speaker 2>But all right, but I gotta let you run. I

610
00:32:14.079 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 2>get packed. Calls behind you too, Thanks you soon, Thank

611
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:19.039
<v Speaker 2>you much. Let me go to Betty in the boat.

612
00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Betty got a little late here. Want to sneak you in,

613
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>but I've got to be got to be quick tonight.

614
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:23.839
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Betty.

615
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:31.400
<v Speaker 8>I'm against the cafes. And in the boating said, did

616
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:31.920
<v Speaker 8>you say.

617
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:33.880
<v Speaker 2>You're against them? Betty, you said you're against them?

618
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:39.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, against them primarily because of the impact of second

619
00:32:39.200 --> 00:32:45.839
<v Speaker 8>hand smoke to the non consumer, but in the voting industry.

620
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.839
<v Speaker 8>If I get boarded by the US Coast Guard and

621
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.319
<v Speaker 8>I who they find drugs on my boat, I lose

622
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.440
<v Speaker 8>my vessel. It's a ten thousand dollars finding, five years

623
00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:01.720
<v Speaker 8>in jail. I'm on federal waters.

624
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I gotcha, and I got you. I've forgotten about that,

625
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:06.759
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you.

626
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:12.640
<v Speaker 8>Okay, And New Hampshire does not permit marijuana as a

627
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:15.720
<v Speaker 8>land as a property owner up there, you're a mandated

628
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.440
<v Speaker 8>self reporter. If your renter is using and you know

629
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:24.359
<v Speaker 8>it and you don't report it, you lose your property

630
00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.799
<v Speaker 8>ten thousand dollars fying five years in jail.

631
00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 2>That's that's in the live free or die state.

632
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:39.440
<v Speaker 8>Bingo. Yeah, okay, And I you know, I just I've

633
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:44.680
<v Speaker 8>seen a change traffic patterns and people's driving behaviors, and

634
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 8>there's more aggression on the highways today than I've ever

635
00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:51.319
<v Speaker 8>seen in my sixty two years of driving.

636
00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I can on that point too, Betty.

637
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.519
<v Speaker 8>You hit them all, then go ahead, you know if

638
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 8>I So, if I go someplace and I and I

639
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:10.480
<v Speaker 8>have a lung condition and there's smoke, I want to leave.

640
00:34:11.880 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, But on the on the cannabis shops, on the

641
00:34:14.519 --> 00:34:17.840
<v Speaker 2>on the cannabis cafes, you would know what you're walking into.

642
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:20.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, one of the things about restaurants now is

643
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:23.559
<v Speaker 2>that you can't smoke cigarettes. So therefore, if you're in

644
00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 2>a restaurant and someone lights up, they're gonna be told to,

645
00:34:26.239 --> 00:34:31.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, to put it on get out. But cigar

646
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:34.960
<v Speaker 2>or p yeah, you're not going to be affected by that.

647
00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Second hand smoke in the cannabis cafe because you're probably

648
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:40.199
<v Speaker 2>not going to enter the premises right thing.

649
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.559
<v Speaker 8>Though, I'm not going afire. I value my lunch too much.

650
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, Betty, I got you in here. We'll talk soon, Okay.

651
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Should be is whether we'll clear up by the next

652
00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.400
<v Speaker 2>day or so.

<v Speaker 8>Okay, it's gonna be fine until Friday, and then it's

659
00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:14.039

660
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.559
<v Speaker 8>Talk to you absolutely, take here by, right.

661
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Next up is Steve in Franklin, Massachusetts. Steve, you're next

662
00:35:20.719 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside. We got we're getting tight.

663
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.079
<v Speaker 9>Go ahead, Hi Dan, Happy New Year in happy holidays.

664
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 9>And I'm a long time listener, but having called in

665
00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 9>a while. But you know, you're talking about the cafes

666
00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 9>and where they can smoke it. I mean, I'm against

667
00:35:43.039 --> 00:35:48.920
<v Speaker 9>smoking in marijuana and it's a federal crime. And uh,

668
00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.880
<v Speaker 9>I was just saying that they're gonna smoke it, and

669
00:35:54.239 --> 00:35:59.400
<v Speaker 9>shouldn't they allow like water pipes for people that don't

670
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.920
<v Speaker 9>have come passionate use, because I understand the water pipe

671
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:08.119
<v Speaker 9>cools the tobacco, cools the marijuana. I mean, people with

672
00:36:08.280 --> 00:36:13.079
<v Speaker 9>a esophageo cancer. Shouldn't they have shouldn't they allow water

673
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:15.039
<v Speaker 9>pipes for compassionate use.

674
00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:19.639
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue to be really official to do

675
00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:23.800
<v Speaker 2>that one. I wish I could offered opinion. I think

676
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:26.159
<v Speaker 2>they have these hookah pipes, but I'm not I'm not

677
00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.480
<v Speaker 2>a hooka pipe guy, so I can't help you there either.

678
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:31.960
<v Speaker 2>We're not talking about compassionate use here. We're talking about

679
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:33.719
<v Speaker 2>basically taking marijuana.

680
00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.199
<v Speaker 9>But I mean, if they're gonna smoke it, I thought

681
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:41.519
<v Speaker 9>a water pipe cools the tobacco, and it cools the marijuana,

682
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 9>and you want to burn your esophagus, and that might do.

683
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>But that's a little off topic here because they.

684
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.440
<v Speaker 9>Have one up town, and I guess I went in

685
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:53.599
<v Speaker 9>there to buy something for tobacco or something for my brother,

686
00:36:53.760 --> 00:36:56.920
<v Speaker 9>and I didn't see any water pipes, and I remember

687
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:58.920
<v Speaker 9>water pipes cooled it.

688
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well that's all You've You've got a lot of

689
00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:03.679
<v Speaker 2>good information about water pipes, and I want to get

690
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>one more caller in see what he has to say

691
00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>as well, Steve, callmore often. We'll talk soon. Thank you much.

692
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Another Steven Gamebri Steve, you're at the end of the line.

693
00:37:11.920 --> 00:37:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Normally they're going.

694
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:16.000
<v Speaker 6>To have marijuana cafes. I would like to be able

695
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:18.880
<v Speaker 6>to go to a bar and have a cigarette with

696
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.920
<v Speaker 6>my martini if I drank. I don't drink anymore. But

697
00:37:22.280 --> 00:37:27.840
<v Speaker 6>it seems inconsistent to allow marijuana cafes but now allowed

698
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:29.280
<v Speaker 6>tobacco cafes.

699
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's amazing when you think about it, because there

700
00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:37.039
<v Speaker 2>was a push you can't go to a And by

701
00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm not a smoker. I don't smoke cigarettes,

702
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:46.760
<v Speaker 2>never smoke cigarettes. And I was always bothered by cigarette smoke.

703
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:51.599
<v Speaker 6>By your father's cigarette smoke. You what by your father's

704
00:37:51.719 --> 00:37:52.599
<v Speaker 6>cigarette smoke.

705
00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:54.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I was horribly bothered by that.

706
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:56.559
<v Speaker 5>I really yeah.

707
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:58.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean how many decades did he smoke?

708
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Do you think smoke most of his life? He went

709
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:05.199
<v Speaker 2>cold Turkey in nineteen sixty four when the Surgeon General

710
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:07.599
<v Speaker 2>report came down. But he's a World War Two veteran.

711
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I suspect he probably spoke for thirty years. They all

712
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:14.840
<v Speaker 2>smoked when they're in World War two. Yes, two and

713
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:17.719
<v Speaker 2>a half years in what was called the CBI China

714
00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Burmer in India. But for him, Wow Smith rather, smoking

715
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 2>really bothered me and I just never I never took

716
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 2>to it at all.

717
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.639
<v Speaker 6>But Dan, don't you think if they allow marijuana bars,

718
00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.840
<v Speaker 6>they should allow a bar where someone could go in

719
00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:37.039
<v Speaker 6>and have a beer and a cigarette and shine on

720
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:37.559
<v Speaker 6>the front.

721
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, no, I'm with I'm going to agree with

722
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:42.440
<v Speaker 2>you on this. I'm enough of a libertarian say there

723
00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.840
<v Speaker 2>should be restaurants in which smoking is allowed. I'm not

724
00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:49.880
<v Speaker 2>going to patronize that restaurant. But that allows you to

725
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.239
<v Speaker 2>go and have your martini and smoke a cigarette enjoy

726
00:38:52.239 --> 00:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>a meal. But if I want to put aside my

727
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:01.119
<v Speaker 2>concerns about cigarettes and enjoy a meal with you and

728
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:04.199
<v Speaker 2>try to sit away from the cigarette smoke, that's my decision.

729
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.079
<v Speaker 6>Or if I decide not to smoke and go to

730
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 6>a non smoking restaurant with you, that would be my

731
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:11.159
<v Speaker 6>decision too.

732
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.679
<v Speaker 2>Exactly exactly, So, I was in favor of two types

733
00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:18.079
<v Speaker 2>of restaurants. Open up the restaurant and the owner can

734
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 2>either can either be smoking or non smoking people. Not

735
00:39:21.800 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 2>one of these where over the corner the smokers consis.

736
00:39:25.119 --> 00:39:29.280
<v Speaker 2>But again that's that was too rational for Massachusetts. And

737
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.199
<v Speaker 2>again I say that as a viril anti smoker.

738
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:37.480
<v Speaker 6>Huh, yes, Dan, you know if they you know, be

739
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:40.280
<v Speaker 6>interesting because I bet you if you have a marijuana bar,

740
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:42.760
<v Speaker 6>you won't be allowed to smoke tobacco in it.

741
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:47.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm almost certain of that, and we will discuss that

742
00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:48.880
<v Speaker 2>subject another night.

743
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:53.760
<v Speaker 6>But for this one, generally speaking, people smoke Middle Eastern

744
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:58.760
<v Speaker 6>people smoke tobacco in hookahs. But you could smoke marijuana

745
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:01.880
<v Speaker 6>in a hookah anything, but generally it's tobacco.

746
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, thank you very much for that information. I

747
00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:07.519
<v Speaker 2>know nothing about that, and you've you've provided me with

748
00:40:07.599 --> 00:40:09.960
<v Speaker 2>some information. I'm more edified as a consequence of the

755
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:27.960
<v Speaker 2>which is still against the law, should that be decriminalized?

756
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.559
