The's somebody I used to 42 00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:20,280 joke like you need a restrictor plate on weed nowadays 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,759 because you know, you get the wrong thing and it's like, hey, 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,000 i'll see you, I'll see you in the spring.

I think it's amazing what has 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,080 happened in New York State. I wish it would go 48 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,840 at the federal level. And we seem to be a 49 00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:40,520 little silly with this stuff. Maybe the things should have 50 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,080 been reversed. Maybe there there should have been more regulations 51 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,159 on alcohol and not so much and weed. But whatever 52 00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:49,400 that aside kind of you know, where did you get 53 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,080 your education and interest? Was it the hallways of your 54 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:53,680 high school? 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,199 Speaker 4: And then I don't know, I think after college ye 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,199 just kind of like helped me a lot, you know, 57 00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:13,960 in terms of getting into like adulthood over anxiety and yeah, 58 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:15,599 I don't know, I think it helped me a lot. 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280 And then I started learning more and more like through 60 00:03:19,319 --> 00:03:23,159 my partner, and started like growing some plants, okay, started 61 00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:27,199 watching some fun videos about all the processes of creating 62 00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:31,840 the oils and you know, crying the flower and such, and. 63 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Where did you go to college? And what? Four? 64 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,599 Speaker 4: I went to college the College of Saint Rose. 65 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, which I think is no longer right, no longer. 66 00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:42,719 That's just sad. It's kind of sad because that was 67 00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,159 a really I assume music niche were. 68 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I went from music industry and they were really 69 00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,120 niche with a few different things like music industry, not 70 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,280 many places. What else was there? 71 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: I remember a friend of mine when I graduated, and 72 00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,840 I'm bazillion years older than you, wanted to go to 73 00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:01,159 Saint Rose and I think in but there was some 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,080 financial restraints on it. And what was like that was 75 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:11,240 considered one of the best in the area now by Albany. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, 76 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,519 So you went for music, music and business, music and business.

Yeah, that's true 122 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,639 because it's their journeys. Yeah, it's such a thing. Like 123 00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:33,319 doctor Dankenstein was one of my favorite people. Yes, he's amazing. 124 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,240 He's like just a big lovable bear. 125 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: He is he is, He's cool, he's cool ash too. 126 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,199 Speaker 1: Well. I think it's it's it's fantastic. I love the 127 00:06:42,199 --> 00:06:46,720 fact that there's the expansion and stuff, but I always worry, like, uh, 128 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:50,199 maybe it's more the edibles. You know. I grew up 129 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,040 down by Woodstock, so weed was always around. Uh not 130 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,720 my not my house. My parents were not into that 131 00:06:58,759 --> 00:07:01,920 at all, but my friend's parents were. Like I got 132 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,959 high with a friend's mom. We did this. People would 133 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,920 make pop brownies, you know, and so the edibles. And 134 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,959 I had a teacher in high school who would say 135 00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:13,240 to me all the time, if you're going to smoke it, 136 00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,160 smoke it through a bong because the heat on a 137 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,160 joint can melt the soldering on a roach. Cliff smoke 138 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,199 it through a water bond, and that's what he would 139 00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:22,519 say to me. I don't know if this is true 140 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,759 or I'm just telling you what he said, And this 141 00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:29,040 is nineteen eighties, eighty five, eighty seven somewhere in there. 142 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,360 And then he would say the best way to consume 143 00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,680 it is to eat it, because you know, you don't 144 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,360 want that heat in your lungs. You don't want that, 145 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360 so you would eat it. But the problem with eating 146 00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,439 it when it was made in brownie for stuff is 147 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,600 you Yeah, but it was never evenly distributed. Somebody who 148 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,199 eat at one end of the brownie pan was fucked 149 00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:50,399 up for days, and the other person's like, hey, man, 150 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,959 I don't think anything happened, right, right, So that was 151 00:07:52,959 --> 00:07:56,439 always it. And then the uh I find though with 152 00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,600 sometimes with the gummies if I don't know what I'm doing. 153 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,800 I had a whole incident one summer where a friend 154 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,120 of mine gave me a gummy. Yeah, we're down on 155 00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:11,839 uh Cuca Lake, and then we're at his house and 156 00:08:12,439 --> 00:08:17,439 we're drinking, of course, and then then yeah, then he 157 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:21,519 throws me a gummy. UH swears it's five milligram. Nobody 158 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,680 believes us, We get we get on the boat. We 159 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800 go to another house, big party, everything hanging out, and 160 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,000 all of a sudden, I'm like, I'm gonna get sick. 161 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,399 So I run into the bathroom and then I Michelle, 162 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,360 I had to crawl out. I crawl into the bed, 163 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,360 the perfectly made bed, and I just crawl up and 164 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:47,559 like I had to pass out for a while. But 165 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,759 not only is it not I didn't even know the 166 00:08:49,759 --> 00:08:52,879 people's eyes, did not even know the people's whose house 167 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:54,919 it was. I see them all the time now and 168 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,120 I'm always like, oh my god, I want to die. 169 00:08:57,159 --> 00:09:00,600 But it's like this big, beautiful home right on Cuca Lake, 170 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,639 and you know there's all these people hanging out and 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,559 park in their boats, and you know they're drinking and 172 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,600 having a good time. And I am like gone, and 173 00:09:08,639 --> 00:09:11,279 I go that's the bad part. And I think that 174 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,279 sometimes turns people away from what is a healthy alternative. 175 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:19,639 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's why the legal markets the best, because 176 00:09:19,639 --> 00:09:22,000 you know how much you're eating and know how much 177 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:25,840 you're getting, you know what's in it that you're consuming. Also, 178 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,879 I mean I remember those days making brownies, making gummies. 179 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:31,279 Speaker 1: And how do you make gummies? 180 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: Oh it's so easy, is it really? 181 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,759 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, wait, you know how to make gummies too, 182 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,879 I've seen it. Guess I've seen it. 183 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:44,799 Speaker 2: I've done it. You see, I prefer making oils instead 184 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,480 of butter. Can of oil and once there, what. 185 00:09:48,399 --> 00:09:50,919 Speaker 1: Do you do? Like cook things in it? Like instead 186 00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,000 of like olive oil, you're throwing a panty. You throw your. 187 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,279 Speaker 2: In the thc well oil. But like my best friend 188 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,679 and I, we always wanted the cheat way of making 189 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,759 gummies because it tastes so long. You gotta do the gelatin, 190 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,480 you gotta do this that. So we would buy Swedish 191 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,240 fish and gummy bears and we melted them and then 192 00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:15,600 just in a pot we would infuse the oil with 193 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,840 it and it made the like fruit roll ups. 194 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,159 Speaker 1: Okay, oh yeah it was great. I love sweetish fish. 195 00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:24,039 Oh yeah, I. 196 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 2: Mean it was more expensive to make that way, but 197 00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:33,480 it was so easy to make and they were very tasty. 198 00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:38,279 Speaker 1: Yeah okay, Now you had to have an experience on 199 00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,720 one of these, like the sweetish fish. Did you ever 200 00:10:40,759 --> 00:10:44,600 get so high on sweetis fish? Like your No? No, 201 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,720 nothing like that. 202 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: No, I'm eaten. So in the gray market, there used 203 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,240 to be candy bars that were going around. They looked 204 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,440 like twigs reasy peanut buttercups. They stated they were a 205 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,240 thousand milligrams, which I'm thinking they were probably two three 206 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,840 maybe in all reality, I ate both that equivaled a 207 00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:06,600 thousand milligrams, and I really yeah, I felt like I 208 00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:08,840 was floating on a cloud. But it's not like I 209 00:11:08,879 --> 00:11:13,879 was like, but it was. It was a fun experience. 210 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:17,039 I'm laying in bed like, huh, yeah, I love this. 211 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm a cloud, right, I mean, here, here's the thing. 212 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:25,879 So many people have a problem with sleep, right, There's 213 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,159 so many people who are sleep deprived and sleep deprivation, 214 00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,679 and there's a number of studies that would compare sleep 215 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,120 deprivation to drinking alcohol and you're deprived and you get 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,559 behind the wheel of a car and I'm definitely sleep deprived. 217 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,799 I mean I for years and years and years, right, 218 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,200 So I think that sometimes if you can have something 219 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,039 and everybody will try melatonin doesn't work for me, they'll 220 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,279 try something else, but then they'll try like a zequill 221 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,519 for that isn't exactly medicine, but that's what it is. 222 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,159 It's something. Yeah, And so when you come to MJ there, 223 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,360 I would assume there's I'll ask the tram.

That's an early indoctrination of 359 00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:54,079 what weed is or is not. And so as I 360 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,640 see this one eighty, I really think that's one of 361 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,319 the biggest things that I've seen in my life. 362 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like I witnessed it through my son, like 363 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,400 they still when he was he's a senior. Now when 364 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,279 he was in elementary school. They pushed wheat is bad, 365 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:09,119 Wheat is bad. Weat is bad. Yeah, my son knew 366 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:13,039 from an early age. Mom's a consumer. Basically, I started 367 00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:17,160 it again right for health reasons, so he would come 368 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,880 home Mom. They're saying it's bad, but you say it 369 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,039 helps you. I'm like, I had explained the stigma. I'm like, look, 370 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240 it's good for you for health reasons. I'm like, if 371 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,119 you want to go out and enjoy yourself when you're older, yes, 372 00:19:30,319 --> 00:19:33,400 but you have to consume responsibly once you get older. 373 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,200 I'll explain it more detail. 374 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: You're starting to see this with alcohol a little bit now. 375 00:19:40,039 --> 00:19:42,519 You had it when I was a kid, right, I'm 376 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,599 fifty four, so eighty five or something. I think that's 377 00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:48,480 around the time or maybe the early eighties. Mad started 378 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,240 mothers against drunk having and so that was like a 379 00:19:51,279 --> 00:19:54,599 really I think the government started to fund these things 380 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,519 and rightfully so. But now, and I was saying this 381 00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:01,799 to you on your podcast store pot cast. Excuse me, 382 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:06,599 get it right, Get it right. That alcohol. You're starting 383 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,720 to hear like, no consumption is ever good for you scientifically. 384 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:13,720 Right now, I will tell you I love to drink. 385 00:20:14,079 --> 00:20:18,119 Alcohol was glorified in my household grown up. My dad, 386 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,480 who wouldn't touch weed, was you know, mister doctor in 387 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:26,559 philosophy and educator and all this love to get hammered, 388 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,599 I mean just loved it right. Used to buy what 389 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,119 was called the cocktails for two. You could buy these 390 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,000 pre made. They were called cocktails for two, so old 391 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:39,119 that the thing was had a styrofoam label on it, 392 00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:41,160 and I used to try to peel it off without 393 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,640 preconnet as a kid. Yeah, well I'm a little older 394 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,559 than you much and the so in the big fight 395 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,720 in the house was my mother screaming, he. 396 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,839 Speaker 3: Buys cocktails for two, but they're really for one. 397 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,519 Speaker 1: Could drink it all right, So but it was always glorified. 398 00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,400 This is what dad did to relax when Mom wasn't home, 399 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,000 and he would make a big dinner, have the house 400 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,759 sparkling clean before she came home. He'd be helping us 401 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,000 with homework, but you would notice his tolerance would drop. 402 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:13,200 And it wasn't just orae juice. He was drinking and 403 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,400 then even start singing to me as we're doing the homework, 404 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,960 and I couldn't figure out you are so stupid that 405 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:25,200 I am so smart. True true, you wonder why I'm 406 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,440 fucked up, I hear you. But the point being that 407 00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:31,440 now we're starting to get that education the other way 408 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,200 on alcohol. Oh yeah, And I would love to know 409 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,599 what's being said about marijuana. And I don't know in 410 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,880 schools are they starting to say there's medicinal benefits to it? 411 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,400 I mean, look, I had that one cool teacher, right, cor. 412 00:21:45,599 --> 00:21:49,160 I mean, I think if any teacher was told her 413 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:51,279 that he was telling us that, they probably would have 414 00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:52,960 been fired. Oh yeah, I'm. 415 00:21:52,799 --> 00:21:55,079 Speaker 2: Sure they don't talk about it. I mean, like I said, 416 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,039 my son is a senior now, but they don't talk 417 00:21:57,079 --> 00:21:59,599 about it. And like the health classes at all in 418 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,279 the Ice school, he said, interesting, which I I think 419 00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:08,200 personally they shouldn't talk about it. I think that should 420 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,920 be a parent's responsibility. Nice to educate your children right 421 00:22:12,319 --> 00:22:17,400 on marijuana legal and illegal, right, I mean, and the 422 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,400 alcohol too. I mean, I get it. I grew up 423 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,400 in the family Lake yours. My dad was a car 424 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,079 salesman my whole life. Come home, crack open a beer, 425 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,599 sure weekends, he'd have his dry Southern comfort Manhattan with 426 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,559 a twist. Yeah. After he passed away, my brother and 427 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:34,279 I took my mom out to eat and we tried 428 00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:36,319 one in memory of my dad. That thing was so 429 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:42,839 fucking discussied fuel that I was like, that's like. 430 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: You know those cars that blow out fire to go 431 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,799 down to the dragway. It's putting thee. 432 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,279 Speaker 2: I mean, I grew up where Okay, I'm in fifth 433 00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:54,599 grade here, Michell'll have a beer. Yeah, okay, it was okay, yeah. 434 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,599 I mean, and I'm not far off from your age. 435 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,079 I grew up in the eighties. We're in the seventies. 436 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,960 I mean so yeah, I mean part family parties. Me 437 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,160 and my cousins would be running around with half drink 438 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,640 beers that our dads would give us. 439 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean that's yeah. 440 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 2: So what's the difference of I grew up with alcohol 441 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,960 prominent or if my son grows up with marijuana prominent. 442 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,279 Speaker 1: Well, I think the difference is what's the difference. I 443 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,920 do think there's a difference. I think that alcohol is. Yeah. 444 00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:27,440 I don't think there's ever any I was never told 445 00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:31,400 drink responsibly. No, No, you had a Frank a newer 446 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:37,039 podcast which will be come now talk about consumption right 447 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:39,359 but proper. I don't know if I'm using the right term, 448 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,359 but appropriate consumption. We'll say and to me that that 449 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,640 is what it's about, because there's so many things. You know, 450 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,119 we talk about just the sleep, talk about people with 451 00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:50,920 and I'm going to say this wrong, but I hear 452 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,960 a lot of people talk about fibromyalgia. 453 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: I have fibromiologia. 454 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 1: Oh well, look at me, just step into that that one. 455 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,279 Speaker 2: Cannabis is a miracle drug. 456 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. 457 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was on three different prescriptions, and you and 458 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,440 I have talked about how my doctor took me off 459 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,039 all my mads. I feel most my pain in my back, 460 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,079 my feet, in my hands. I will do either smoke 461 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:18,799 a little bit when I first wake up, so when 462 00:24:18,799 --> 00:24:21,400 I get to work, I'm not stupid high. But it 463 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:22,400 really is my pain. 464 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: Know what it takes to relieve the pain. So it 465 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,960 would be like taking a time on all or Yeah, for. 466 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,599 Speaker 2: An average person would be like ibuprofen. But sometimes the 467 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,279 pain gets so bad an average person would want a narcotic. 468 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,559 That's how bad my pain can get. In my hands, well, 469 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,720 I mean yeah, a lot of times I'm walking around here, 470 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,440 I'm like, can you open this? My hands aren't working 471 00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:48,240 today because fibromagia, it like it mirrors, Like if I'm 472 00:24:48,279 --> 00:24:50,359 having an issue on the left side, the right side 473 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,039 will be exactly the same, hands, knees, feet, head. 474 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:54,759 Speaker 1: What is that fibromyalgia? 475 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,799 Speaker 2: It is like it's an inflammation of your nerves. Okay, 476 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,079 it's There's still controversy over the exact disease because people 477 00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:08,599 say doctors made it up because they couldn't find a 478 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,119 diagnosis for people who had these pains. They thought it 479 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,200 was in their head. I mean, it's very similar to rheumatoia. 480 00:25:17,039 --> 00:25:20,039 Speaker 1: So many people were not we just gave it exactly. 481 00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:23,480 It was like everybody basically that's basically. 482 00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:27,519 Speaker 2: What the medical community was. 483 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:29,559 Speaker 1: You're crazy, but we're going to give it to you. 484 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna okay, we're going to make up this. 485 00:25:31,839 --> 00:25:36,960 And other people, like in the insurance industries and other practices, 486 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,759 they're like, no, this is not a real disease. 487 00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: You need to die right. 488 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,279 Speaker 2: It is, and it's very common in females and it's 489 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,720 more common in males. Little do people know, and the 490 00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:52,880 medications do not help men. I have seen three people. 491 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,839 Speaker 1: Man, Okay, wait, when you say don't help men, the 492 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,519 first thing I think it is and I'm not trying 493 00:25:59,559 --> 00:26:03,759 to be craph but some kind of sexual problem. 494 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:09,839 Speaker 2: No, no, not that way. No, No, it does not 495 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,519 cause okayand I mean there's stuff to counter that. 496 00:26:13,599 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but like your gummy. 497 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 2: In Actually we do have right marijuana for everything I 498 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,559 told you, Yes, But like the medications don't help with 499 00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:30,599 the inflammation and the pain for some reason with men. 500 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,039 I honestly don't know the scientific backing behind it. I 501 00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:37,319 don't know if it has something to do with testosterone 502 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,599 or women's with their hormone levels. But I know three 503 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,680 individuals men fybromelgia. None of the pills ever helped. Marijuana helps. 504 00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:49,079 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you just kind of keep it at a 505 00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:51,759 even keel and it gets rid of it. I would 506 00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:55,680 correct me if I'm wrong. I didn't. I haven't watched 507 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,599 the news a whole lot yether do I I find 508 00:26:57,599 --> 00:26:59,759 it very depressing, and I think that for your mental 509 00:26:59,799 --> 00:27:02,599 health sometimes you need to honestly stay away from him. Yeah, 510 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,480 but I thought I just heard something where President Trump 511 00:27:06,559 --> 00:27:09,240 stood up and talked about how bad Thailand all is. 512 00:27:09,759 --> 00:27:11,799 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know if I did that, but I 513 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:12,920 can agree. 514 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that he Okay, Now, I'm glad I brought 515 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,160 this up. Because and I am because you were a nurse. 516 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:21,279 Uh he talked about like I think, and then you 517 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,599 gotta be careful with some of this stuff. Oh yeah, 518 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,079 you know he likes to shoot from the hip, which 519 00:27:26,519 --> 00:27:30,359 can be someone if you're not too affected by it, 520 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,880 you can look at what the fuck? But the I 521 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,119 think he was saying something about autism rates and then 522 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,039 he goes, it's just bad for you. It's just bad 523 00:27:38,039 --> 00:27:40,000 for you. Don't take it's just bad for you. Now 524 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,920 we've had it for so long and and and everybody, 525 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,440 I would think majority of people at some point, I 526 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,400 think even doctors have said, if your kid has a 527 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,440 fever or something, alternate tiland all advil, right, and I 528 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,920 think I did tailand all sinus. You can wild side 529 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,839 his headaches at time, so like just wild I don't 530 00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:01,640 know what would you? 531 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,799 Speaker 2: So I don't know about the whole I've been out 532 00:28:04,799 --> 00:28:06,839 of the healthcare field since all these studies with the 533 00:28:06,839 --> 00:28:09,279 autism and that comes out. Don't the one thing I 534 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,119 do know, and I have seen the proof for this, 535 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,799 Talano can kill your liver, especially if you do take 536 00:28:16,839 --> 00:28:19,279 it on a regular basis. Now me, I take it 537 00:28:19,319 --> 00:28:21,599 here and there, not often. If I have a headache, 538 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,559 which isn't that often, but if you're taking it like 539 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,160 there was. At one point I was having medical issues 540 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,279 about ten fifteen years ago. I was taking five advil 541 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,039 four times a day, per my doctor. Advil doesn't work 542 00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:42,240 on me anymore. Because of that, I built up a 543 00:28:42,279 --> 00:28:46,599 tolerance where any ibuprofen does not help. So yeah, I 544 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,599 mean then they ruin your liver. I mean I know 545 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,079 some people who go in for liver tests because they 546 00:28:52,079 --> 00:28:54,640 were chronic tnnel users. 547 00:28:54,839 --> 00:28:58,519 Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, And so you can definitely have something at 548 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,319 mj oh that you can get, right, lots of stuff 549 00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:04,160 for clean as well.

I think there's still that stigma, because boy 560 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,279 did they do it, as we've said, a great job 561 00:29:40,319 --> 00:29:44,839 of painting it with a broad brush. That's not appropriate. 562 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,359 Not true, right, right, not true. 563 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,759 Speaker 2: I'll have Grace answer this one. 564 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:51,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, just like we've been talking about, 565 00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:53,079 like the two biggest things that I get are either 566 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:57,160 pain or for sleep, for like headaches.

That's all. Yeah. 579 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: I mean that with the combination of the THC and 580 00:30:36,519 --> 00:30:41,000 the CBG, I mean, tax inflammation helps your pain. You're 581 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:42,079 feeling uplifted. 582 00:30:42,519 --> 00:30:46,279 Speaker 1: Here's a somewhat of a I guess an offbeat question. 583 00:30:46,359 --> 00:30:52,160 But my sister has lime disease, has had lime disease 584 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,799 since eighteen years old, badly to the point where she 585 00:30:55,799 --> 00:30:59,720 couldn't walk and stuff and thinks that she's had like 586 00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:05,759 just recently was in Iceland for a vacation. This summer. 587 00:31:05,759 --> 00:31:08,279 They go on these great vacations. They won't take their well, 588 00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:10,839 they won't take their kids to Disney, and one kid 589 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,079 was complaining, we always go to a beach, so instead 590 00:31:13,119 --> 00:31:16,279 of Disney, they do these trips. Gets about the equivalent, 591 00:31:16,519 --> 00:31:19,079 and so they went to Iceland, then they went to Denmark, 592 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,079 and then they went to Croatia and the beaches in 593 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:25,920 Croatia for over two weeks. While in Iceland, they're taking 594 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,839 a snowmobile trip up a glacier and my niece shifts 595 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:34,240 the wrong way on the back of my sister's snowmobile 596 00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:38,119 and it rolls over and my sister wound up trying 597 00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:39,839 to lift it off, worrying that it was gonna be 598 00:31:39,839 --> 00:31:42,880 on the kid. As a result, has four months now 599 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,960 walked around and it is going to have I think 600 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,880 surgery today on her thumb because she tore the ligament 601 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,200 and it wrapped around the muscle, and then she tore 602 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,079 a rotator cuff in the other shoulder. And she's saying 603 00:31:54,119 --> 00:31:58,119 that there was like she just thinks and she worries 604 00:31:58,119 --> 00:32:00,640 about herself. She goes I don't know that's wrong with me. 605 00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:03,359 Like one of the kids was born at home because 606 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,799 she didn't realize she was in labor, and she goes, 607 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,960 I wonder if I just don't feel good so often 608 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,960 that I just figure that's part of it, right, Okay, 609 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:15,039 And there's other things in her health too that have happened, 610 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,119 and she's gone to all kinds of alternative doctors, but 611 00:32:19,279 --> 00:32:23,000 no insurance covers it. So you're paying sometimes up to 612 00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:27,079 thirty grand out a pocket. Right. Do you see in 613 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:34,519 the future doctors that will be recommending more marijuana types stuff? 614 00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:36,759 Do you understand what I'm saying, but that would be 615 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,319 uncovered by insurance and can actually benefit and help people. 616 00:32:40,559 --> 00:32:42,160 I don't know. I know it's a little bit of 617 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,359 a deep question, but it's a yeah. I mean, I 618 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,440 think having been in the healthcare you know, you're certainly 619 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,519 in the business you maybe you know, I don't know. 620 00:32:50,119 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: I mean, I feel if they declassified it and bring it, 621 00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:57,119 you know, legal onto the federal level, why can't insurance 622 00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:59,599 companies cover it for people? Do copays? 623 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 4: Right? 624 00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: I mean, right now, even for medicinal you have to 625 00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:06,039 pay cash for the doctor visit, right, because of what 626 00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:09,119 you're going for insurance won't cover it because. 627 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: It's a federal yet. 628 00:33:10,039 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, because you're going for cannabis, right, so that's in 629 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,359 your chart, insurance won't pay for it. So right there, 630 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,759 you're paying a couple one hundred and fifty two hundred 631 00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:19,960 dollars for the doctor visit. Yeah, then you got to 632 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,240 pay one hundred dollars for the card, the actual medicinal 633 00:33:23,319 --> 00:33:26,720 marijuana card. So you're in what two fifty, three. 634 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:27,839 Speaker 1: Hundred, fifty or three hundred. 635 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: Then by the time you can only use it in medicinal. 636 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,599 Now they do, I've heard word of mouth they do 637 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,119 give you discounts and stuff. They can do that legally 638 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,039 in medicinal. But still, I mean, it's it's it's outrageous 639 00:33:41,079 --> 00:33:45,319 the price. Yeah, that that is like just come to 640 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,039 recreational and pay thirty forty fifty bucks for your. 641 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 1: Eighth Yeah, that's exactly. But get here and I'm sorry, yeah, 642 00:33:53,519 --> 00:33:56,000 but you guys are like doctors. I don't and I'm 643 00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,680 the I use that loosely because I certainly don't want 644 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,039 to get but you know, you have enough knowledge that 645 00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:06,920 you can help somebody who's in pain, and I just 646 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000 wonder I'll ask you how many people have come back 647 00:34:09,039 --> 00:34:10,119 and go, oh my god, thank. 648 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 2: You, Oh God. 649 00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:12,559 Speaker 4: Definitely, it happens often. 650 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. 651 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,639 Speaker 4: People definitely find what works for them, and you have 652 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,079 to like and they stick to it because. 653 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: Sure, we find what works. Like and when we say 654 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,880 find what works, you're doing the same thing. Let's say 655 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,480 you have fibromialgia and you're a guy and nothing has worked. 656 00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:32,199 How many different have you tried? Oh yeah, right, okay, pill. 657 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,039 Speaker 2: I went through a lot of different medication. 658 00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:36,639 Speaker 1: Yes, right. So that's what I'm saying, is that, But 659 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,159 but you'll have people here who guide you, will remember 660 00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:43,119 you right you come back, They're going to remember you. 661 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,880 They're going to say, hey, how did that work for you? You know, 662 00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,920 or you remind them of whatever it is. But I 663 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,400 just think that there were heading in a great direction, 664 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,639 like I do, and I think that that's a good thing. 665 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,000 Has your family, who did you say was not very 666 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,599 Are they a little more now? Have they tried some 667 00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:03,199 of the stuff? 668 00:35:04,039 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 4: I mean? I think I talk My mom is also 669 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,360 like a nurse, and we talk a lot about it, 670 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,119 and like she's definitely like open to me, like discussing 671 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,480 like everything that I do. I'm still trying to get 672 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:21,000 my dad to it because you know, he has so 673 00:35:21,079 --> 00:35:24,519 much pain. Like he is, he's older, and all he 674 00:35:24,559 --> 00:35:26,039 talks about is like saving his liver. 675 00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 1: And I'm like, how old is your dad? Can I 676 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:40,639 answer seventy is older? Okay, But if she said it, 677 00:35:40,679 --> 00:35:45,079 I absolutely believe that. But your mom, as someone in 678 00:35:45,079 --> 00:35:48,079 the medical field, does she see the benefits of it? 679 00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:49,840 Sometimes has she tried anything? 680 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,159 Speaker 4: I think she is, like, yes, opening up to like all. 681 00:35:53,039 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: Over, like the benefits because it's almost like you can't 682 00:35:57,079 --> 00:36:02,320 ignore it anymore, you know. And I think that's wonderful. 683 00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:05,960 And I think, like you, being a person, you could change, 684 00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:08,000 you might be able to help change the medical field 685 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,719 a little bit. No nurse comes in and goes, hey, 686 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,039 I got to tell you. 687 00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:14,440 Speaker 2: You know, yeah, I mean we have doctors at the 688 00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:19,000 VA that recommend patients here.

Well, look it 842 00:43:55,639 --> 00:43:57,280 turns out it's forty percent. 843 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: My favorite argument always is tax st dollars paid for that. 844 00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:03,880 And I'll go, I don't know what my tax dollars 845 00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,840 paid for.

I think quote me on that, but yeah, 858 00:44:37,519 --> 00:44:40,760 I mean, and they saw their taxes didn't go up 859 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:44,079 quite as much this year. They're projecting in like the 860 00:44:44,119 --> 00:44:48,760 next full five year expansion from when we started here 861 00:44:49,199 --> 00:44:52,320 five years. Taxes are going to be going down because 862 00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,880 of the cannabis in the communities. 863 00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,480 Speaker 1: And don't tell me that people. Everybody isn't gonna want that. 864 00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 2: Right, Like these towns that opted out. I don't understand 865 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,519 why the supervisors and the town boards don't want to 866 00:45:04,559 --> 00:45:08,159 opt in, because it's money for their schools, for your town, 867 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,159 for the roads, anything your school your town needs. 868 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: Well, look because it's a vice, right, And some people go, well, 869 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,599 I don't want advice, pay it for whatever at the school. 870 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,400 New York State lottery. 871 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, gambling and gambling. 872 00:45:20,119 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: Gambling to a certain degree. Right, and by the way, 873 00:45:23,559 --> 00:45:27,760 all the gambling that goes on on sports now, right 874 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,639 with the legalized betting. Right, did you bet? You seem 875 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,320 like you bet? You made a face like you did. 876 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 4: I mean, we have a fantasy here, and yeah. 877 00:45:35,559 --> 00:45:36,679 Speaker 2: I bet sometimes. 878 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,360 Speaker 1: Isn't it fun? 879 00:45:37,559 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 2: It's fun. 880 00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,599 Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. First time I've done all 881 00:45:40,599 --> 00:45:44,159 those all those taxes, like all that tax to I 882 00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:47,639 think New York State, like it was a little bit later. 883 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,199 They did it because Jersey did it.
