MEMORIAL DAY SHOCK: The Federal War on Cannabis Just Started (DEA Raids, $8.3M Tax Clawbacks)
This week, as the summer starts, the federal government escalated its actions against the cannabis industry on multiple fronts, signaling a new era of enforcement and compliance pressure. We break down the "Federal War" that is separating the legal operators from the illicit market, and what the rapid pace of change—from rescheduling to tax clawbacks—means for every business and consumer in the cannabis space.1
Here's what we cover in this educational episode on cannabis law, policy, and business:
The 280E Tax Clawback: The DOJ files the first-ever lawsuit to claw back an $8.3 million 280E refund from MSO TerrAscend, sending a clear warning shot to all operators who have filed for refunds.1
DEA's "Operation Weed Out": Federal task forces are turning hard toward the unlicensed market, with DEA-led raids shutting down illegal dispensaries in New York. The throughline: the line between who gets a buildout and who gets a raid is a state license.1
The DEA's Rescheduling Showdown: The comment window for the expedited Schedule III hearing closes this week, and we discuss the urgency for industry participation and what a full plant reschedule means for 280E and research.1
Virginia's Legalization Stalls: Governor Spanberger vetoes the adult-use market bill again, five years after possession was legalized, leaving the illicit market to thrive and eat up potential state revenue.1
The TSA Policy Change: The Transportation Security Administration quietly updates its 'What Can I Bring?' page regarding medical marijuana, reflecting the DEA's Schedule III reclassification and the ripple effect on everyday life.1
Cannabis Safety for Seniors: Stanford Medicine experts lay out 5 crucial risks older adults must consider, especially as a federal judge clears the path for Medicare's hemp/CBD coverage pilot.1
The Rogue Crime Lab: In Illinois, a flawed THC testing method at a crime lab led to a marijuana DUI case being dropped, tainting over 2,000 cases nationally and challenging the reliability of per se THC DUI limits.1
Final Thought: The contrast between the federal "gas pedal" and the state "brake" is the whole show. Rescheduling is prospective and uneven, rewarding the operators who built on compliance instead of loopholes. The winners in 2026 are the ones reading the fine print.1

And uh Maggie and I will give you an update about where our uh

If you want to stay on top of it, please do scan that QR code.
This is cannabis legalization news.
Let's get going.
Oh what's up, man?
How was your week?
SPEAKER_03: Man, I uh uh I like that cannabis legalization
journey, man.
I like the uh the way you put it.
Um, you know it to me, it's surreal, dude.
Like every day I still think about how close we are to from
when we started.
SPEAKER_02: Plus, oh and then we're and then the cops the cops
haven't even stopped us yet.
But the cops are coming like that was that was one of our
stories has to do with the DEA starting to bust on licensed
operators.
Oh, yeah, that might be the new normal.
SPEAKER_03: Well, this is again that we we talked about the farm
bill not saving and not creating any rule regulation, rule rules,
protections, all that shit, you know.
SPEAKER_02: Well, it's it's Memorial Day weekend, which
means that uh summer started, Congress ain't coming back.
No, yeah, they won't be back until like after the election.
Then they still won't come back, they won't be back until January
because they have the job that you work a year and a half, get
nothing done, and then take six months off to run for the same
job again.
SPEAKER_03: I love that, but uh hey man, what's up with
Virginia?
I think they're they be smoking some shit.
Whoops, get that back up there.
SPEAKER_02: I think they're smoking some shit.
Uh and and so back in the day we used to make fun of them like
you got yunkined, and now you've been spam burgered, yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Well, this is funny, dude.
So, like, you know, she rejects the the adult use uh bill,
right?
Like that was the thing, right?
But like in the same breath, you know, she she like reduced oh so
I had the wrong tab sharing.
SPEAKER_02: So in the tab I was sharing veto though, that was
the thing, yeah.
She's like, Yeah, you're gonna get all the the um the benefits
of it being legalized, and so you're not gonna have the the
criminal background, but you're still not gonna be able to buy
it.
So this some people think it's the the hemp lobby's power.
Uh, I don't really know why that she would have vetoed it like
that, um, ex other than like really the hemp lobby's power.
SPEAKER_03: Well, I just think it's mixed messages too, and I
think this I hate to say it, man.
This is why the Democrats are losing like this battle, right?
Like, you want to have this party of like you can believe in
that's gonna stand by, like, there's fundamental virtues,
like legalization is not that fucking hard, right?
But yet, you know, like because in the same like type of fucking
breath, she signed a bill.
What I was sharing was like she released uh uh uh for for
marijuana resentencing for people who've been arrested.
So one, we we recognize that this is not a crime, but two,
we're not gonna give you a market, right?
Go to your gas station and buy some hemp.
I just I don't get it, man.
Like, where is the I mean, is is it the hemp lobbyist you think
that would probably you only got to November?
SPEAKER_02: This is not gonna be.
SPEAKER_03: But dude, I just I guess it is short-sightness,
right?
They don't care, they're just giving the dollar or whatever it
is.
Yeah, even even the politicians are just making their bag, yeah.
They don't care.
That's unfortunate, dude.
I just and again, I I I think it's why, like, for politics,
like that.
What what a weird mixed signal to give off, like to to not
create a market, but yet to to give people a chance to like
wipe their records clean.
I I just don't, you know, but the uh what it was I loved you,
I saw you on Twitter with this one.
I thought it was pretty funny, dude.
The uh uh with the IRS, the 280E.
Uh uh because you for a send or was that the uh the the grow who
terasend?
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was one of those 280's, and so it might
have been Terra Send, yeah, Terra Send.
But they were claiming the they were claiming the refund all the
way back to like 2020.
And so they were they're making this argument, I think.
I haven't read the lawsuit.
I've been kind of busy getting the dispensary open.
Um yeah, yeah, we actually have an opening date.
We'll talk about that later.
Uh we'll do that after 420 somewhere.
So stick around, we'll give you a dispensary update.
Uh on this with the the DEA, they're claiming like the
refunds they asked for back in 2020 were improper.
And and I really hope the IRS loses this case.
This is going to be great.
I hope they lawyer up.
I hope they definitely argue what the definition of is is.
As the section 280E says it doesn't say like schedule one or
schedule two drugs, it says within the meaning of schedule
one or schedule two.
And so the uh 2023 uh report from HHS with all the science
that found Camus, Camus can do do, but Sartre is Smartra, and
no, not Camus with an S, the French existentialist, but
currently accepted medical use, Camus with a U, currently
accepted medical use.
And that has been found and it is binding on the DEA, and it
will be binding on the DEA in the Janual the June 29th uh uh
hearing that we have we'll have a news about that as well, we'll
talk about so that that that fact, I mean, like once they put
that into it, like it is not within the meaning of anymore.
And their argument is it's never been within the meaning.
And so once they found this uh this science that science always
applied to the plant, it doesn't apply to the plant from the time
that it was found.
Like you didn't do the science before.
If you would have done the science, it would have said
this.
And then ironically enough, the Controlled Substances Act of
1970 had part F, which turned into the Shaper Commission that
Nixon never read and just threw in the trash, and then also said
it shouldn't have been scheduled.
So I like the argument.
Uh, the DEA, I'm sorry, the uh IRS is like, give us back our
money.
Yeah, let's see what the judge has to say about that.
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I mean, this really I mean, it is it like
what what do you call it when you're when you're trying to get
like a back retrograde law or whatever?
You know, you just retroactive, uh, but then it's the substance.
SPEAKER_02: I mean, like it it's always was that, but then it it
we'll see how they do, we'll see how they do, and and I'm just
glad that they're gonna make these legal arguments because
right now, like we open it next month, and our sales are legal,
they're regulated, they could be medical if the state passes the
hybrid bill, they might pass a hybrid bill before the end of
the year.
But like, you know, it's still the same regulation, it's still
going to be a schedule three substance.
So, why are those transactions now after they know what the
science is?
And then they could have said in IRC 280e, they could have said
as scheduled, they didn't.
They said within the meaning of schedule one or schedule two.
SPEAKER_03: I mean, is it this not within the schedule?
Sure, but like like it's kind of hard to like ask for like almost
like reparations, you know.
SPEAKER_02: Oh, you're not gonna get reparations.
What do you think you are?
Iran.
SPEAKER_03: Oh man, yeah, hot collar right there.
They uh mean dude.
This is that's crazy that's going on with that shit.
But, anyways, uh but you know what I'm saying, though, like
this is a bad policy from the beginning, you know.
You know, the but the the research was never done.
The the law was based off of fear and racism, kind of like
how this present uh administration runs, but like,
you know what I mean?
It's like it made no sense in the beginning.
We're not gonna go back in time, and and everybody's gonna get
their time back.
People who've lost law, you know, presently Frank Rogers
still 13 years 20 years, uh you just wrong right now.
SPEAKER_02: You're still by that I mean like I don't know, man.
Are you coming through all right?
Or is it me?
Like, I mean, there's there is a lot of breaking up orange
sunshine in this, but um uh yeah, yeah, maybe I'm not sure
if other people were seeing that, but like I'm also stuffed.
You're right, and so like the the free Frank Rogers, free them
all, and uh we do have our roundup policy.
Uh, because like we don't want to deal with change at the
store, like you know, single bills only, uh, no change.
And so there's a roundup that we have that's going to benefit
Freedom Grow.
We'll do some reports on how much we were able to give to
Freedom Grow, and that gets hopefully over to Frank Rogers
uh commissary as they try to free them all.
I mean, it's it's it's just ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03: But the you know, the the the the outrageousness
of this law that this or this I won't even say the law because
it's not like one rule that says you're a bad person for smoking
weed, right?
There's a series of regulations or and rules that were put in
place that made it so smells a crime, they made it so that you
can lock someone away for that's one of the funny things in
decade time.
SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, go ahead.
I ran into uh uh a judge from the uh Illinois Supreme Court
this week because like I am a lawyer and so I go to like
events and stuff, and I'm an alright lawyer.
It's I'll I'll do better in the future.
But anyway, so Judge Overstreet from the Supreme Court's there,
and there's a it's a bar fellows uh event, and so like um uh I
eventually get to ask him, like, you know, arbitrary and
capricious is thrown around so much.
But did you know that your court has said that the smell of raw
marijuana is probable cause, burnt marijuana is not probable
cause, and yet hemp is just unabashedly legal, uh as as
nobody's like held otherwise in in the state.
And goes, Yes, well, you know, it's trying, you know, right.
Um, you could have just gone, sounds about right.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's how you set a law that can make you
a career, but novel is esoteric, silly laws, that can also make a
career.
SPEAKER_03: And then that all comes down to uh um the
two-minute warning.
Two minute warning, the the just the correcting this, how to
correct this rule, right?
Like, thankfully, like this is the only good thing about this
whole, in my opinion, this administration.
I mean, thanks Spider for getting the ball rolling, but
with uh Trump's fear-mongering and everybody, yeah.
Well, not just the fear-mongering, and all these
people won't just want to pander this guy and give him some sort
of win because he keeps fucking up on other shit, right?
Like, you know, this would be a huge win for the jobs and
everything.
It's kind of like you definitely want this to go through because
it's a win-win.
There's no, you know, uh show me in the legal states where the
apocalypse happened, right?
Like, that's that's where I'm trying to get it.
SPEAKER_02: Apocalypse has not yet happened, but um, you know
what has happened?
It is Memorial Day, and so that means that Congress is done for
the year because it's an election year.
If your laws haven't gotten passed, sorry.
See you in lame duck session.
That's one of the things that we have.
Like Illinois, they've they put out their omnibus bill, which
would make us a hybrid.
So we'd be able to sell the met we could sell the medical, but
like we can't give them the tax benefits, so be able to do that.
We'd be able to not have to have a security guard.
Uh, there's a lot of stuff.
We might have actually gotten that loan from social life.
Oh, we did sue them.
So I did get that in on Friday.
I I filed that complaint.
Not thrilled, not thrilled to sue the state of Illinois again,
uh, especially for our company.
You know, that really sucks.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
No, that did and again, it's not easy.
This is not a smooth process.
It would have nice if the you know, they just said, hey,
you're the thing that you're supposed to be.
That's how you get a license.
SPEAKER_02: That's how we did.
So it's uh it's not supposed to make sense.
It's 20 past the hour.
We're gonna have a small commercial break.
We'll be right back.
It's 420 somewhere.
It's really hard to stretch that last two minutes.
That right there, that might have just gotten us 18 plus what
I don't get it.
I don't get it, but if we do this, I think well, because like
it's educational content.
So if we do something like maybe like maybe like this.
I just use that to do like another uh rip.
Not not a rip.
Uh a holiday, a holiday spirit miracle.
Hey, speaking about holiday spirit miracles, why don't I go
over?
Oh I don't have my my screen.
Which one?
What do you want to share?
Yeah, I'm just gonna share my own screen.
That's what I'll do.
Hit the plus button and then I'll hit the share the screen.
Or we're not mine.
This is how new this computer is.
It's like, do you want to share your screen on here?
Yes, yes, it's and so uh we're configuring the the store
loyalty program.
And one of the things was it was like, hey, we have these
discounts, and the discounts didn't say that it was uh for um
uh members only.
And I'm like, hey, we're not giving veterans 10% off just
because they're veterans, they have to join our membership.
And so, like, have you ever gone to the grocery store and they
have like the members' price and like the non-members price?
We need to do that, yeah.
Driving into the membership so that we can text them and send
them emails.
SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, all of it you can always change later,
man.
I'm I'm all about just like so.
What's the date?
What's the date?
We'll be open on June 1st.
God damn.
SPEAKER_02: We've already been kicked off of Google Maps, and
so we'll we'll eventually get on Google Maps.
Google Maps is a tricky wicket when you're a dispensary,
especially not opened.
SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, I mean, I mean, we'll get it figured
out, but uh, that was you had the regulators done, uh, some
signs need to be done.
Uh cameras, is that what we wait for camera guy done?
Yep.
SPEAKER_02: So now is done.
Okay, just uh put in some orders for inventory.
We have two months to pay our 60, 55,000 um licensing fee.
Good damn.
We're gonna ask for social equity discount, they'll say no,
but I hear that they they will take it quarterly, so then you
amortize it over uh from operation, so it's 2500 bucks a
month in the state of Illinois to have a cannabis uh retail
license.
SPEAKER_03: And and then that's how you sell legal weed in
Illinois.
Like that's that's really just what it comes down to, dude.
You know, like during you know, my youth, you know, the youths
when I was young, youth uh trying to sell weed, the vision
of selling enough, the vision of selling enough weed to like pay
rent, keep the lights on, uh uh pay the rent for the building
and myself, right?
And and an hourly wage.
Uh you need like a structure, and and you you're never gonna
get that in uh uh an illicit market in the sense that people
carry guns, like that.
I mean they carry guns in a regular thing, but like there
was more chances of like harm.
You know, if you haven't gotten fucked in in an illicit market
at least once or twice, like I remember getting ripped off of
weed all the time as a kid, dude.
You know, like you it's trust, right?
Like shake of a hand.
Uh uh, you you hope that the other person inside is like on
the same page as you are.
Like, you just want to, you know, have a little weed and
good time, and and you're like, I get it, you gotta make a
profit.
You know, so much stranger ginger, you're like like
hundreds, and even people I've known where like, hey man, I can
get you a good deal on a on a pound.
You know, I'm like, oh fuck, visions of like dollars of like,
oh, I can break this up and then you know reinvest it into more
pounds, but it's tragedy opposed to like opening a fucking
restaurant or or or or a liquor store or or a Chaxi store,
right?
It's brick and mortar regulated markets is what we have here.
Uh and it's expensive to get to that point, right?
But like re-scheduling it, that's a good chance of like now
we're gonna we're getting that federal playing field, right?
I would love to bring Washington weed to to our store, you know.
SPEAKER_02: Well, we can't do that yet.
With we're not allowed to do interstate commerce, but we can
do Washington weed to our store if it's like made in Illinois.
And so there's a store in Havana that has Washington connections.
SPEAKER_03: I get it, but you know what I'm saying, in sense
of like that's a terroir.
I get the same guy who probably grows.
SPEAKER_02: I want the soil from out here, the sunlight, growers,
experience, same indoor, and so like the the the IP from Seattle
is coming, like that, those plants should be getting
harvested about when we get open in June.
And so, like, we'll talk to the guys from Seattle that I you
know they're clients of mine, and then we'll see if we can get
some some of their genetics in.
SPEAKER_03: I just I think there's a still a certain nuance
for local, like you say it's from Seattle, but it's not
really from Seattle, dude.
You know what I mean?
Like I want to be able to push pounds locally, like buy it.
And I mean it's not gonna happen this week.
SPEAKER_02: Not able to do that.
There's no operators.
The closest, there's no operator in Peoria, there's no operator
in Pekin, there's no operator, the closest operator is probably
Havana, Illinois, and then maybe Delavan, and and then and also
um what is that that other Lincoln, Illinois?
So Lincoln, Delavan, and Havana.
Lincoln and Delavan are closer, but those are like the former
medical operators.
There's no craft operators that might actually bring in
genetics.
SPEAKER_03: Let me put this right because you're a wine guy.
So like, would you consider like it's like uh a vineyard from
here?
Like if they were to like, hey, we're gonna uh put our name on
uh uh the sops of a of a vineyard out there, would you
still call that a Seattle wine, or would you call that an
Illinois wine?
You know what I'm saying?
Where was it grown?
It's you're growing it out there, but with the SOPs from
out here, you know what I mean?
Because that's what you're saying when we when you're
saying you're bringing Seattle weed up.
I still don't think it's Seattle Washington State.
You know what I mean?
Is it grown indoors?
I mean, you can you can create if if indoors on both sides,
yeah, sure.
SPEAKER_02: If you try to be the McDonald's of weed, because like
I if you're not gonna be sun grown, you're not sun-grown.
It's different.
If you're not gonna be sun grown and soil grown, it's different.
And the soil medium, you could have like a living soil medium
indoors, and you could have the same newts and all that other
stuff.
You can you could source the same supply from Seattle to
Havana, Illinois, it's still very similar, but then if you
grow it outdoors, it's different.
SPEAKER_03: Well, here I'll throw this out there for all the
people growing and and who knew like who you know, you're that
level of nerd if you're hanging out with us, but like it's not
just the soil, right?
I mean how about like the the microbes in the in the air, and
you know what I mean?
There's so much more, it's like how you would say ocean-grown
cannabis, it's only in you know, so close to the ocean, you're
not you're not gonna have ocean-growed weed in Indiana,
but like but indoor, like it's so like the indoor cultivation
is really the standardization, that's the McDonald's aspect,
yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
And then you think this is a step towards it?
This recent uh uh coming out uh schedules of controlled
substance rescheduling marijuana, uh in the local uh
not local, you know, say federal no that's uh down there.
SPEAKER_02: You see, between us C and it says interested persons
desiring to participate in this hearing must provide written
notice of desired participation as set out below on or before
May 28th, 2026.
So that's where you hire uh the federal lawyers.
Your your company hires the federal lawyers.
Um I've not had the opportunity to like really lobby and market
ourselves to do that, but we could.
And um maybe, maybe after this store is open.
But you'd file this appearance so that you could participate in
it at the hearing on June 29th and say, we support this.
And so Sam is filling this out, uh, and probably a lot of the
MSOs are filling that out as well to support.
And then just like they had that hearing last time, and they had
a uh for for some reason they did an interlocutory appeal in
the middle of the uh evidentiary hearing.
This time, I hope that they just know that Matt Zorn is like now
on the inside and shut up, just like conduct the hearing.
Sure, thank you very much.
Okay, I will consider that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I will consider this too, and then get the the the ALJ's
report done and then move through as fast as possible to
get the the rescheduling knocked out for the rest of the uh
licenses.
SPEAKER_03: Okay, so and and and would this be the next step to
all that then here?
Let me add this uh the FDA one.
One second.
The uh FDA uh just department places FDA approved marijuana
products and and products.
Marijuana subject to qualifying state issue license rescheduling
three.
So this is like there is no FDA approved products, though, right
now.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So they have to create new rules for that as well.
Like this is all the fundamental building blocks, would you say?
SPEAKER_02: Um uh no.
No, and so like the way that FDA approves drugs is the way the
FDA approves drugs under the law.
And and the cannabis is not an FDA approved drug, it just can't
be.
It's like saying like this apple needs to go through the FDA
approval process.
You know, it it doesn't make sense really when you look at it
because it's it's a organic plant compound that far uh
that's far more similar, at least in the terms of what you
say it is, is a dietary supplement as opposed to like an
actual drug under the laws.
So that's that's what I mean.
And so like they could they could amend the uh food, drug,
and cosmetics act to make a lane for marijuana, that'd be great.
But I don't see I don't hear anybody mentioning this.
SPEAKER_03: Well, is it because they don't think about it like
to say a plant, fruit, vegetable is actually like medicine or
holistic, but it is a holistic option, right?
Where people don't think for one, you're into a cabillary
system, and two, like scurvy, you know, we learned that
vitamin C vitamin C in oranges, right?
An orange is a supplement to your body, it helps nourish it.
SPEAKER_02: The same thing with this fucking plant, even though
your body, I think, can manufacture vitamin C or at
least recycle it, you still need like an external source if
you're burning through it.
Well, you're like your body can make cannabinoids, yes, and and
recycle them, but you still might need an external source if
something gone wrong.
SPEAKER_03: A little extra, you know, because you could be uh
you're EDS deficient, sure.
SPEAKER_02: But you know, you can also have too much.
There you go.
It could be it could be like anything else, but um, you know
what they didn't have enough of in uh this federal case.
Sam got dismissed, so they can get to save on legal fees unless
they appeal, that'd be really stupid.
But uh the federal judge dismisses the anti-marijuana
group's lawsuit, uh, challenging the hemp in Medicare for lack of
standing.
They could not show that they were aggrieved by this new uh
law that came out, so they don't have the right to attack it.
And and that's that was a dismissal for lack of standing.
Uh they they try to manufacture standing, showing that they've
they've been harmed by this new law, but they couldn't do it,
which is kind of nice.
Uh, you know, that they aren't gonna be able to shut it down
too much.
One of the reasons why they will be filing that uh appearance by
May 28th, so they could speak to the evidentiary hearing, but
then they still might not have standing in judicial review
later after that becomes the law to attack it because, like,
well, how are you really harmed?
It's like, um people are gonna do this stuff, but how are you
harmed?
Well, other people will be doing it.
SPEAKER_03: No, then you know what they're gonna do, they're
gonna get all the pretend parents who uh want to blame
weed, like kids who had just probably mental instability or
whatever the heck it is, but it's not that one joint that
made him step, right?
Like, because I've seen it, you've seen it.
Like, you watch these.
Did you know if Sam has a YouTube channel?
SPEAKER_02: Sam has a YouTube channel.
But how many subscribers did do we have more subscribers than
Sam?
At least 100% less less bot subscribers, you know, because
like we get more views, a lot of bot subscribers.
SPEAKER_03: We get more views in high times, I hate to say, but
uh oh uh, and I don't even get to make videos.
SPEAKER_02: I haven't like had to make any videos, like no time
at all.
Like uh, we we could do uh a cadence like some of the other
channels that I think that's what they do for a living is
channels.
SPEAKER_03: Well, and again, and also rage bait.
I mean, we we rage a little bit, but you know rage bait,
clickbait.
Like did you tune in?
SPEAKER_02: Hey you, thanks for tuning in.
Don't forget to subscribe.
There's a 70% chance you already are if you're watching the
podcast.
SPEAKER_01: But also, um man, cookouts, you going to cookouts
this Memorial Day weekend?
SPEAKER_02: Don't go to cookouts, says Eddie Murphy.
SPEAKER_01: I don't understand him.
Why is that?
SPEAKER_03: Because you should go to cookouts, they're a good
time.
I look okay.
I'm I wanted to uh smoke a brisket this weekend.
Hey, do you hear about that?
Much to do uh nothing news about the TAC, like refixing their
website.
Like, this is it right here.
This is their whole statement on medical marijuana and
transportation.
They aren't looking for it, right?
SPEAKER_02: But they said it was okay, and now they're like, Hey,
hey, hey, quit trying.
You can't get on a plane and say, like, I'm gonna join the
mile, mile hog club, man.
It's where I smoke weed on a plane and I get really, really
high.
Um, don't do that, don't do that.
You're just gonna piss off the people next to you in the seat.
SPEAKER_03: Well, previously this thing had uh uh like you
know paragraphs, right?
Explaining their like situation, like you may if you are a legal
state, blah blah blah blah blah, but now you have federal
guidance that this is uh medicine, right?
SPEAKER_02: Uh schedule three, and but they're also they're not
looking for it, and then they will refer you to local law
enforcement authorities, and so that's kind of what it always
is.
It's like hey, they aren't looking for it, if they find it,
they're gonna have to refer you to local law enforcement
authorities.
Yeah, you can say, like, hey, Mr.
Local Law Enforcement Authorities, I got a medical
card, and they'd be like, Oh, thank you, sir.
Don't smoke that on the plane, by the way.
That would be very inappropriate of you.
SPEAKER_03: If you're if you're traveling with like a I would
say uh a quarter and maybe some edibles and the vapes, I
wouldn't worry about it.
But if you're traveling with 20 pounds, oh no, they like they
are gonna refer you to the local authorities.
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, like I can't just be like, hey, my card
says I can get this 20 pounds.
No, it doesn't say that, you know.
SPEAKER_03: Um just saying that's that's the rule.
I mean, like, common sense is kind of the uh uh uh the rule of
thumb here, and it's always been with weed, I think, in my
opinion, right?
Like, as a lawyer, you kind of always have to lean on the side
of like, well, you know, they'll fuck you over, right?
Like, you know, it's against the law still, you know.
We are breaking the laws.
SPEAKER_02: They are just trying to prove these elements.
I will get you on the phone with a different lawyer who's not me.
I'm like, you gotta talk to him because they're gonna charge you
with these crimes.
SPEAKER_03: Cannabis still isn't legal in even medical states,
uh, and and that's the thing, uh, or even adult use states
until it's like written into a state constitution or some shit.
You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02: Even when it is, like there's limits, yeah.
And so, like, just like you can make your own brick beer, uh,
very often, and and now I hear that uh distillation is making a
comeback for like you know, you can make your own liquor, but if
you turn that into a business, the regulator's gonna get
involved, right?
And so that that's the thing, you know.
We and I'm fine with that.
The regulators got involved.
We turned it into a business, regulators got involved.
We spent more money than I have.
Uh, we need to sell weed, we have created software to
maximize.
SPEAKER_03: I mean, that's it.
We need to sell we didn't push a fucking pound.
But that's the thing, though.
It's like there are reasons why you have regulatory bodies, and
and part of it, you know, into the checks and balance.
It's like the pink sauce lady.
Like, like, like, thank god, like people got like like you
don't like put mayonnaise in a thing without like food handling
uh uh processes, like legit fucking right.
SPEAKER_02: We don't let you just touch food without rules,
and so that's one of the reasons why we don't want to do food uh
in the adjacent side of the supply, the supply side, which
is just empty.
It'll be interesting to see what that turns into.
Also, great.
Sam uh Sam got dismissed.
Sam, guess where they're going?
They're going to that June 29th hearing, and then they will do
another appeal after like how quick after that June 29th
hearing will they publish that final rule?
I mean, like if I was the administrative law judge, what
administrative law judge have they even sat?
And if they told them this is what you will be filing, I think
it's pretty much this is what you're gonna be saying, yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Like, I mean, that's I think these people in this
administration like that, like it's daddy.
Tell me what to do so I don't get it wrong.
You know, I mean, like, I don't give a fuck what it is, I just
will sell my soul, and uh it's unfortunate, but like this
prohibition has been so long, even into we're not done for the
rules to to to be to be right or fair, you know.
We talk about regulatory bodies and following the rules, but
like that's also once there's rules for a business to be in
place, this is protection for the consumer.
This is a protection for the truck driver to fucking smoke
weed and and and and carry pounds, or or you to carry
pounds, maybe you're going to a holiday fucking visit.
You know, people people bring like salmon from Washington
State and shit, like that's a a go-to, right?
Like, so I'm sure if we're gonna be able to transport that, and
also we'll get there, we'll get there.
SPEAKER_02: But that's the thing uh smoking salmon, be like, hi,
your smoke salmon for some reason smells a lot like weed.
Well, they bought it down at the uh supply shop, yeah.
But there will be the standardization of like like
just federal, because in the end, this this plant it's just a
product, it's not uh it's not heroin, it's schedule one, but
it's it's it it it's somewhere between cigarettes and alcohol
in like terms of acceptedness, right?
It's a little bit maybe depending on where you're sit,
but like generally throughout the nation, even like in
Illinois in Washington State, you know, we have adult
legalization, full medical legalization, and still there's
stigma, there's stigma, and as a result, I think it sits
somewhere between like acceptance of beer versus
acceptance of of smoking indoors, and and you know, you
we we we kind of have to deal with that as a as a as a group.
SPEAKER_03: Well, as a society, but like here in Washington
State, dude, even in the whole West Coast, this is a and I
think it has to do with like the culture been existing since the
60s, right?
Where uh uh people are introduced plant.
It's uh just like with alcohol, everything, every substance out
there you have a relationship with, right?
And with this plant, it's a wellness thing, it's not
everybody's wellness thing, right?
Like, that's the thing, too, is like everybody wants this like
100% cure all and and and then life's just not like that, but
it's easier to like villainize, like with this recent marijuana
deal cases dropped over erroneous evidence from UIC drug
testing lab, like these people are coming up with fake numbers
and and and saying you know, cause and effect here washing
state.
So next week I'll be doing that, uh, or this week rather, I'm
gonna be doing that uh um smoking with the cops.
And so, like, this is all for science.
But this is the kind of I think I think we need, right?
SPEAKER_02: We're like this is the exact this is why we have
the YouTube channel.
I mean, so like next next week, I think we'll uh uh I I will be
in Florida.
We may not do a show next week.
I will be getting married and getting married in Florida, and
so then the the weekend after that, the store will be open,
and so like there we might do the show.
Well, I mean, we should probably do the show from the store.
Uh we might get 18 plus.
SPEAKER_03: We're gonna get 18 plus no matter what.
I don't know why you say it all the time.
We're weed, like we talk about policy and and hang on a second,
hang on a second.
SPEAKER_02: It's time for us to read with the scroll at the
bottom of our video because we know that Gemini's models are
watching.
Oh, there you go.
This is educational contact with historical and economic
implications based on personal knowledge and experience, and
now we return you to whatever this is.
SPEAKER_03: I just it's frustrating, dude.
Ever since we've been doing this, like first off, I'm amazed
at the level like we have a store, man.
Like, I've known you for fucking 10 years, uh, plus, uh, and it's
all about both you and I believing in the qualities of
this plant and the bad law, right?
Like, that's just yeah, the whole premise of our
relationship, and you know, agreeing that as other
Americans, you know, this is our country.
We like we want a good place to be, you know, fairness and all
that other bullshit.
SPEAKER_02: So I don't know, just we're on it, and so that's
that's the it just takes time, and then the other thing is we
might not make any headway.
So, like, I mean, think about how long progress takes.
We've been on this for decades.
Cheech and Chong have been on it for more than five decades.
Uh, some people published a Schaefer report more than five
decades ago, a LaGuardia report.
Fuck, that's 80 years old, and like you know, people have been
trying to get this thing done for a minute, and this is as far
as we've ever come.
But um, you know, we shoot ourselves in the foot quite
often by like pretending like it's already legal.
SPEAKER_03: Well, that's what I'm saying.
That's why I say there's there's so much more to go, and and and
here's my uh you know, like, yes, Chichin Chong help like
entertain and keep a conversation, but and and all
these other fuckers, Snoop Dogg, um, Cypress Hill, uh, you know,
people who've like aren't afraid to like be stigmatized or
whatever the fuck it is you want to call it, or they create and
embrace their own persona, right?
Like, I that's the one thing about like with me and rap and
and weed is like there's nothing gangster about weed, right?
Weed's just a fucking business.
If if if you want to sell weed or it's a plant, you know what
I'm saying?
It's just it's not a it's not the reason why you have gangster
is because the fucking law, you know, you know, that doesn't
allow it.
SPEAKER_02: It was the crack rock that they were really
slinging.
Come on, but um hot shot wants to know when the dispensary
doors open June 1st.
First, maybe yeah, uh oh, better be careful.
So wow, that's why we have the supply side.
Well, you know, from the side that is not regulated over there
is the thing that is it and again, this plant is such a a
weird thing to like it's almost common sense, right?
The frustration of like you know, for the past, if we would
have called this hemp legalization news, you know how
much fucking be rich, so rich, and then uh in a douchey kind of
way.
SPEAKER_03: Well, and that's the thing, it's like with with
fucking weed, you know, we want this parody given, and then
funny too about like how we got into where we're at with
activism, all this other shit.
Uh, I recently found out that Mark Emery is a horrible person.
You didn't know that.
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I knew he was a sexual predator and shit
like that, but I didn't know he was like a racist and shit, too.
Like he's a shit, but like he's been a shit forever, and so like
there were shits in the industry, and he was Canadian,
and it was like 20 years ago, and I'm like, all right, I don't
understand what this plot is that he keeps talking about, but
uh he seems a little weird, yeah.
SPEAKER_03: No, well, I mean, fucking uh here's the thing,
man.
Like, like, I hate this perception of like what a hero
is, right?
Like, I used to think the motherfucker was kind of sort of
for for pot because he was extradited for fucking seeds.
Like, what the dumbest, I mean, he's pretty much like the poster
boy for dumb fucking laws and and ability to put someone in
jail for some dumb shit, but like, and then now with the new
hemp rules, you can definitely go to jail for seeds because
back then people argued that you couldn't go to jail, but because
he was intentionally selling seeds for people to grow, you
know, that's that's what happened.
But uh, like like you're saying, this industry is full of fucking
horrible people.
Uh speaking of horrible people, dude.
Uh uh that Colbert show that the the new one, did you see the the
one live in Monroe?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so like like did you like see Paramount fucking flagged
it?
Like they're fucking pulling it down off the the YouTube's
because it's funny, yeah.
But like it was funny because he made a bunch of pop jokes, and I
just find it so well, like it's Michigan.
SPEAKER_02: The pot jokes write themselves.
Michigan has the cheapest and and and highest volume of weed
sales in the country, you know.
Uh, and so like it has the the least price and the most sales,
and so they'll do a quarter.
Uh no, they will do like a quarter trillion.
I mean, it's I don't think it's a quarter trillion, but they
they have a huge market.
I think it's like 2.5 billion.
Not uh, yeah.
So I guess it is a quarter, it's not a quarter trillion, but at
2.5 billion is still like a lot of sales, and um they don't do
that in Illinois.
Our market's like a billion dollars smaller than theirs, and
they have two million people less.
Yeah, but you don't think but like a lot of our market is
going out the door to hemp, and so we'll see what happens when
that door shuts.
However, like our prices are still higher than theirs, but
then our prices are similar to the prices that you pay in
Seattle, and our prices are similar to the prices that are
going on in in Missouri.
But um, yeah, I mean, like the the amount of supply that they
have in Michigan is not top nuts.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, I just have like a lot of it, they just
have a lot of the like Oregon, yeah, and right, you know, and I
think a lot of the reason why a lot of these places have
products still or have excess sometimes is because a lot of
these places based their business model during the uh you
know the the golden days, the tax-free days because they were
going through back doors, opposed to like now I gotta find
margins, know when to like you know, uh uh you know, because
you you want to create your network first before you fucking
grow like 100 pounds, right?
Or whatever.
Uh, I'd imagine.
I don't know.
But I just thought it was funny on that Colbert too, dude, is
like how like passe pot jokes can be now.
Like they're just no, you don't see heroin jokes.
SPEAKER_02: Well, heroin's nothing to joke about.
Thank god, you know what I'm saying?
Heroin don't play, you know.
Um weed you can joke about, but uh it's it's also one of its
downsides, I suppose.
However, we did have yeah, the the DUI laws might get be
getting thrown out in Illinois, and so that could affect
thousands of DUI cases, like not having a particular type of test
that's reliable to show impairment.
SPEAKER_03: There's no real science being conducted, you
know.
In this study I go through next week, or this week rather, um,
all they're checking is like, you know, probably like can you
walk a straight line?
Are you gonna, you know, probably read me a couple senses
that I try to remember after I smoke or whatever?
I you know, whatever the case is.
SPEAKER_02: I just think it'd be hilarious that they they they
train the test on like the the only known like characteristic
of of being high.
It's just like all right, well, they're gonna be forgetful.
Let's just see if they're forgetful.
And it's just like a really obnoxious, you know, type of
memory test.
SPEAKER_03: Well, or what if they put like a glizzy on a
fucking fissure rod and put it in front of me?
SPEAKER_02: No, a glizzy.
SPEAKER_03: What is that?
SPEAKER_02: It's a hot dog.
Diggity dog.
It's something that I'm learning.
A glizzy is a thing called a hot dog.
SPEAKER_03: Hot diggity dog.
DEA joint force operation in upstate New York.
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
Hey, get your paperwork in order.
The police are gonna want to see them.
Uh the law enforcement is going to be getting involved if you
really think about it.
What are they doing right now?
They are requiring the medical dispensaries to register.
What do you think they're gonna be doing by the end of the year?
They're gonna be requiring the licenses to register.
And if you ain't registered, well, it makes it pretty easy to
figure out if you're legal.
SPEAKER_03: I mean, I hate to say the hemp is is dead.
Okay, anybody, I just don't here here's the thing, too.
SPEAKER_02: Obviously that will still take your money.
There's lawyers that'll still be like, I think we have a good
shot, and and there are elected officials that will also take
your money.
SPEAKER_03: Now, when I say hemp is dead, I mean that's obviously
the TAC side, right?
The drinks and all the bullshit like that.
But what do you think?
Like this this is the whole still the camoet process, right?
Like, is there gonna be isolates for like CBG and CBN?
SPEAKER_02: I'm assuming that's gonna be really all that's left.
And the market for those are that's the the the well, the
stuff that Dr.
Oz is doing.
Um oh for the CMS shit in theory, it could be billions
billions, but it's impossible to get it there without turning it
into marijuana because of the exclusion sections that they
have.
So there's still gonna be some oversight and some obvious
turning of the blind eye while that that product is being made.
Uh, and so there will be excess THC in theory that's out there.
Uh however, it looks like it's gonna be a highly or a much
greater regulated uh escape.
But I still don't know how much DEA even has, like for capacity.
I think they're gonna be going over the raids as opposed to
hemp license, you have this contract, we know that we can't
we have to reject the product if it's not compliant with that,
you know, remediate your THC, something like that.
SPEAKER_03: Well, they can always too.
I don't think anybody's thought about this, or maybe it's out
there, but can like once this June 29th, once once uh the the
hearing's done and it gets locked in because you know it's
gonna be.
I mean, can't the CMS just rewrite and then now you have a
federal uh schedule three program that supports states?
SPEAKER_02: No, there's limits to what the administration and
the agencies are allowed to uh enact.
And so typically, and by typically I mean always the
Congress, the legislative body creates a law and then they uh
say, you know, just like how we have to deal with our regulators
and say, hey, okay, here's social equity.
The regulators are gonna screen for that and give you licenses
and do the lotteries and make sure that you know your security
cameras are right.
And so that's what they they do.
But then the statute gives them the power to promulgate those
rules.
Rules have the same effect as legal statutes have, and so you
have the same thing.
But then there's a time where you're like, hey, well, I don't
like these rules and laws, I want to change them.
Well, how much right has the administrative uh agency that's
doing the execution of this law got to like change this stuff?
That's that's the interplay that comes up in cannabis law all the
time and many other principles.
But um you can't have those agencies saying, like, well,
we're gonna completely redo, we're not gonna have 500
licenses, we're gonna have 25,000 licenses, you know, we're
not gonna say social equity is this, we're gonna say social
equity is anybody whoever is eating, you know, and and and so
that kind of stuff.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, what is it?
So, like, what gives the CMS authority, anyways, though,
right?
SPEAKER_02: Like, couldn't they just say later on, like it's a
novel thing, they really don't have a lot.
Yeah, so there's like statutes that are out there for for these
novel products and and processes, and then you have an
administration, uh, an executive that's willing to push the
boundaries of them to the fullest extent that they can.
SPEAKER_03: I like this one altogether, man.
It's pot, man.
And again, we know this, you know this.
Uh really um no shit deschedule, you know, and that's a
frustration with this uh prohibition, right?
Like, like I mean, shit, man.
You we've been fighting for this thing forever, you know, yeah.
And like you said, there's so many weirds in this thing, so
it's kind of hard.
Like, who gets the authority?
How close we came, like with uh uh during uh um Carter, right?
SPEAKER_02: You know Keith had to like drop a dime, just a
little bit of drugs, it's not the right thing to do.
But uh even Washington, Illinois now is getting a dispensary,
that's one of ours.
Yes, this one.
This is one of the ones that this is the other one in our
area that got awarded in our lottery, Zeppelin Enterprise
LLC, uh Missouri Company, and so like a Missouri chain, yeah.
A Missouri chain of dispensaries is gonna be opening in
Washington, Illinois, and they're doing a fresh build.
Like, I'm gonna do another video about how much this monstrosity
cost, yeah.
Totally, so for like how much it costs to start one of these, but
double it, just double it for for a fresh build, maybe like
2.5 and so like uh even like not double, double and a little bit
more doing a fresh build.
And then how long is it gonna take?
These guys aren't gonna be open until like 2028.
I mean, so they got deep pockets for a while to to do they have
it's Mrs.
It's a Missouri chain, it's like it's called Good Times.
No, what is what's the name of theirs?
It might be good times.
I don't see the uh the name of the key key cannabis dispensary.
And so I we'd have to see how many key dispensaries there are
in uh uh Missouri, and we can kind of like approximate how
much it would be.
SPEAKER_03: And that's uh um the following the next county,
right?
To to us, yeah.
SPEAKER_02: I think it might be Woodford County, but it might
still be our county.
And so one of the nice things about our county is whenever
anybody who buys it at these other shops get busted for weed,
they gotta go to the courthouse and then they'll see our and
again, I think we should do a discount for with for the
ticket, but we'll talk about that later.
But like only for our members, you have to join the membership
there you go, and then you can get discounts.
SPEAKER_03: I think also we need to talk new era.
This is where the gang war start, y'all.
SPEAKER_02: This is this how new era new era is gonna be just
fine because no, no, but we're a few miles away and they're gonna
have another one that opens up across the street.
SPEAKER_03: No, I'll say we get them to join our side, we have
to go fight the new guys in the next county over.
I'm saying drug wars.
This is gang fights now.
We we gotta do this, we gotta push bounds, baby.
SPEAKER_02: Okay, we're looking at block.
We're gonna make sure that we will do a corporate resolution
to uh create fiduciary duties that say we can't do any of
that.
SPEAKER_03: Hey, you know who's got cheap weed?
SPEAKER_02: Michigan.
SPEAKER_03: That's too probably.
Ten uh states with the cheapest weed coming out of the marijuana
herald.
I bet number one's Michigan.
Damn right, three dollars a gram.
SPEAKER_02: That is cheap.
SPEAKER_03: 317.
How do you fucking get these numbers?
318, 39.
SPEAKER_02: It's because they have so much supply.
Everybody who wants to grow that stuff goes to those two states,
Oregon or Michigan, or also Oklahoma.
Was Oklahoma up there?
Oh, yeah, they're the wait, wait, I don't know.
Uh oh, this makes no sense.
Oklahoma should be cheaper.
Oh, that's weird.
Maybe it's adult use.
Maybe this is adult use.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that definitely has to.
Well, Massachusetts still, yeah.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, those are all adult use states.
Oklahoma still isn't.
SPEAKER_03: Oh, I see.
Yeah, it does have right there.
It tells you when they legalized it.
Uh, but my my my my thing is though, like, how are they
getting like these weird numbers, like these weird off
um, because in our state, do we pre-tax if things round up here?
Everything's fucking like 2530, it's done, it's out the door,
tax included.
SPEAKER_02: No, yeah, no, no, they they advertise without tax
in Illinois, and so we're not gonna advertise with tax because
it'll seem like we're the most expensive like most expensive
dispensary in the area.
SPEAKER_03: But again, the pennies going away, so I mean,
numbers need to be thought differently.
SPEAKER_02: We're all in solid dollars, and so then we round up
to the next dollar to donate to charity.
Remember, Freedom Grow, and and as a result, like uh it's all in
fixed dollar volumes, and then um, you know, it's it's all
tracked and traced.
You don't really have like the ability to push down the price
that much.
Well, you you do, but yeah.
SPEAKER_03: Hey, uh is Canada safe after 65?
SPEAKER_02: Um, ask Tommy Chong and Cheech Meren, and who uh I
guess you can ask Keith Stropp too.
He's just gotta be like in his 80s.
I can ask numerous people in their 80s about this one.
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, I think articles like this are silly
too.
Like, like there's so many living fossils out there, you
know, myself included.
SPEAKER_00: Living fossil.
SPEAKER_03: Did you see the new scary movie?
Uh pop bucket.
SPEAKER_02: I I saw the popcorn.
Popcorn is being sold in a bong.
SPEAKER_03: Yes, I I'm gonna go, I am gonna go get this thing.
I am gonna go, and it's got the little like dab thing, so it
looks like it, but it's for butter.
That's brilliant.
SPEAKER_02: I'm glad to see that.
I'm going, baby.
Not me.
I'm gonna ignore it.
Oh, you got a store to open in I gotta I'm getting married and
I'm opening a store, and then we're building software um for
for that, and then I eventually will be able to do videos for
you and you at home.
SPEAKER_03: Um give us likes and subscribes, please.
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, you know, just like fairy dust.
YouTubers live on likes and subscribes.
I do.
Nah, I mean, um the YouTube channel is like the least
lucrative of all the ventures, and and that might just be
because I don't know how to monetize it.
Uh, hopefully, after it's schedule three, we'll we'll
figure that out.
We'll we'll have some large S coming in, and we can hire
somebody be like, the guy is thing, you know, is here.
SPEAKER_03: Don't fucking lose it.
They're gonna be like, uh, take the word canvas out of the
fucking title and uh stop talking about weed.
SPEAKER_02: And uh did you consider how many licks that it
takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
I'm just saying why don't you do a video where you just lick a
Tootsie Pop four hours?
And that that helps people dude.
That probably would get a lot of views, though.
I'm just saying, but depending on who's and then it can be like
hot ones, except um instead of eating chicken wings, it's just
uh new up and coming OnlyFans models licking uh uh Tootsie
Pops, and and then kicking over to their like saying follow me
over at the here's my links, and you're just like, Man, for some
reason that got a million subscribers in like five
minutes.
I don't understand this.
I don't know marketing, right?
SPEAKER_03: You know, uh on one more note before before we go,
there's a story that was in high times, and this is the kind of
shit that kind of like cannabis stigma, cannabis.
Um schoolboy Q quits weed after smoking 20 times a day, and
here's why.
SPEAKER_02: And my man talks about like wants to be a fucking
role model to his children, like like I quit growing weed, so my
kids ask fewer questions.
SPEAKER_03: Well, you're just being cautious or whatever, but
you also have a YouTube channel, your law firm, and all that
shit.
SPEAKER_02: So it's just like to have just those kind of changes
of life, and then be like, okay, so then you have to explain to
the kids that are like you know, five and six, and they're coming
from like three doors down and all that, and with the the the
judgy people, and and then also you're just like, Hey man, you
can't have kids over and like have the place smelling like
weed and that you're growing in the basement.
I'm like, all right, fine.
When your kids go to college, well, and again, you're still
here or more.
SPEAKER_03: There's still a lot of stigma around it, which is
unfortunate.
Like in your area, like pretty much here.
I where I'm at, dude.
I I walk down the street smoking a joint in the city, you know.
It's uh we don't agree that one not today.
SPEAKER_02: Sorry, we will uh in June, we will have limitless
supply of name that strain comes in.
Like, what is this?
There we go.
Maybe you actually buy uh high quality stuff, those are not
smalls right there.
Those are not smalls, and so that's not a hundred dollar
ounce.
You know, if you're gonna get ounces with nugs like that,
that's not a hundred bucks.
SPEAKER_03: Smells good, it's mojito, by the way.
SPEAKER_02: Mojito could have given us the parents.
We could have played an impromptu.
Okay, everybody, stop tuning in.
Stop tuning in.
Forget what I said, forget what Mickey just said.
Read the read the jar, and and we'll be back.
Okay, let's play some name next week.
SPEAKER_03: Let's see what we got here.
SPEAKER_02: We got no wonder what we got.
SPEAKER_03: 22 THC, uh-huh.06 C B D.
Uh-huh.
Total 25.1%.
SPEAKER_02: And who's its parents?
Do they know that?
SPEAKER_03: Uh not listed, but there is a well wait wait wait
wait wait.
No.
Oh, there's a QR code.
SPEAKER_02: We got a QR code.
Oh, name it.
Okay, um, very good.
And so da-da-da.
Yeah, that's it.
Yay! Good job, everybody who read the name of the strain on
the screen.
If you're just joining us while on your commute to work, no,
you're not.
This is like 56 minutes in, so like your commute ended like a
half hour ago.
But um, yeah, yeah, right.
And so that was mojito, also known as mojito one.
It is a sativa dominant hybrid strain crossed with orange
blossom trail and limergan.
Nice, that is clearly mispronounced.
Lime uranium.
unknown: Lime.
SPEAKER_02: You got a new member.
Oh, wait, remember.
Thank you for becoming a member, by the way.
Old citrus notes, floral undertones.
Uh, and then they have what they believe it will do.
But they they say that's an energizing one.
Do you find that to be a good daytime strain?
SPEAKER_03: Uh, I think all weed's good weed to me so far.
Um, it's the ones that uh uh I haven't had one sneak up on me
in a while.
We're like, oh well, I shouldn't have done that one before uh
before work.
I mean that's happened.
Remind me.
SPEAKER_02: Am I wearing pants?
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, I'm gonna rate that one a 4.5.
Still still forgot I was wearing pants.
My time machine pros.
I gotta wait a minute here.
Uh oh.
SPEAKER_03: It's been a while, I'm just saying, man.
SPEAKER_02: Well, um, yeah, but that's that'll be interesting to
see.
We'll have we'll have some some decent products that we can do,
um, name that strain with.
And then I have to we have we have a lot of vendors that will
find out about the podcast, which is nice.
Evidently, we can't do it at the the location, which is why we
built the supply side.
We will be in the non-regulated area of a well regulated market,
it's right over there.
I can see it.
SPEAKER_03: Well, I hope to come out more often and actually make
content out there with you with the store.
So that that'll add to it, I think.
You know, but like next week I'll be smoking with cops.
Or this week.
SPEAKER_02: Hey, hey, take some videos of of Mickey smoking with
cops.
We might not do a show next week, probably won't.
Uh but then then we'll be back in June and it's uh it's go
time.
Let's go, baby.
See ya.
Thanks, guys.
