Transcript

Welcome to Cannabis School. I'm your host, Jesse Angeles. And I'm Brandon Elder. And we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from vape flour, edibles, strains, and everything in between. Welcome back, and for those of you who haven't tuned in before, welcome to Cannabis School. Yeah, welcome. And today we're going to be revisiting one of our most downloaded episodes ever. Still everybody goes to it, but this is say we're going to go back to revisiting THC.

As we have learned more, you've learned more. We want to share it. On there's more people who have come on board, so we're going to touch clock touchback over tetrahydrochanabinol. My favorite name for THC is still the high chemical because it's it's exactly what happens like when you use it, when you feel it like that's what unlocks the euphoria. The high it, you know, connects to so many parts of our body real quick before we get all into that. What are you puffing on?

I. Am having some discussion here. Where is that just he was here a second ago. So I'm puffing on a one of those Uno carts. Those are awesome. Puffing on lemon skunk. I don't think we've ever reviewed that one. I'll have I've I've got enough in here. I'll have to bring it on the show and we'll we'll, we'll review it. It's very lemony. It's a very nice sativa. I have one of those as well

here. I'm not puffing on it, but it's right in front of my little vaporized ashtray I'm puffing on. Oh yeah, the Mighty Plus today, but I'm rocking some super boof from Dragonfly Wellness. Yeah. Dude, we had that with the the guys. The Rationalist. Rationalist. Yeah, we had that with them. Dude that was so chill. That just dropped last Thursday, so if you guys haven't checked that one out, go check it out. If you guys want to learn how to do some sweet like what is that

even called? It's not growling, it's. Yeah, it's like a. It's like some. Like, yeah, he does some crazy stuff with his throat and like explained how that happens. Fantastic episode. Definitely worth checking out. So but Superboof has been really tasty. I I think this is one of my favorite tasting strains actually as of late. Like the flavor of the butt. Oh yeah, even through a vaporizer, through the bong, just the flavor of the flower itself is fantastic. THC or the high chemical is

often found in cannabis. You find it on often on the flower. You will find tiny stuff on the leaves or on the stems and stuff throughout it, but usually it's on the flower. And again, that's what makes you feel high or euphoric. So that kind of goes to your body, talks to your brain and makes you feel either like happy, giggly, relaxed, focused, you know, or even a little

confused or forgetful sometimes. Yeah, I actually really like the the chemical name tetrahydrocannabinol because it just sounds cool when you say it. You sound smart. I know. No, no. What's that? The high chemical. A little bit chemical compound. I, I love it. I mean, it learning about tetrahydro cannabinol has been, you know, that's why I call it more cannabis than just like pot or weed or anything like that. I mean, you can call it all those names, but for me it's

cannabis. And not because I'm a snob, but because it it helps me to really look at the planet as a tool and as a a recreational thing. I'm not gonna lie about that. Like a lot of us who use cannabis after a while, sometimes you do that whole thing like Tom Segura on this whole thing when that guy is like, why do you need a medical card going? I just like the way it makes me feel. And you know what? That's OK, I like. How it makes me feel.

It still helps with my other stuff, but like, right, there's times that I use it just socially because I'm hanging out with friends and it's going to be a fun, enjoyable experience. That's literally the purpose and the goal of that time. And then, you know, other times it's the intent is man, I, I really hurt. So I'm going to use this to, you know, take away back pain or I'm feeling extra stress. So I'm going to take away some of my stress and anxiety

because, well, I'm not here. I'm in all my stupid thoughts going on in my head. So right when you look at THC though, like, you know, a lot of people, they, they immediately demonize it that this is a horrible thing, This is what makes you do stupid things. It just varies from person to

person, right? Your endocannabinoid system, which we've talked about in depth that that absolutely has a lot to play with it. But when we're talking about THC itself, there's different ways that it can be able to get into your system, right? So the the common one is smoking or vaping. And what that does is it enters into the lung sacs. If there's AL, I'll be old. I can't pronounce that. ALBEOLI. How would you say that, Brandon? Sorry, ALV. EOLI. LVOEI am I'm.

I know, right, But no idea. These are the tiny sacks inside. These are inside your, your lung sacs that you have within your lungs, right? Nowhere else would they have them dumb ass just. But what that does is it helps carry it into the bloodstream. And that's why it gets so quickly. That's why when we talk about it, we talk about flour first, because it really is the purest way to experience cannabis, bar none.

Well, you get all the cannabinoids, all the terpenes that come from that versus any distilled product, any, anything like that. They're removing cannabinoids, they're removing terpenes. So your experience isn't quite as full as it would be if you had done just the flower, you know, So it's, it always is. That flower is going to be king until we find a way to 100% keep all cannabinoids, terpenes, everything and live rosins and stuff and hashes.

Some of those are very like they flash freeze at the second it's harvested. So it is preserving all the terpenes and cannabinoids, but you know, the resins where they were, you know, it's still distilled, you're still removing some of the cannabinoids, the terpenes things through there.

So I still like I'd be curious to see what the end result of like a a rosin versus just like a bud would be like if there is a like what the entourage effect difference would be in the same person with those two different products to go. You know, if they could calculate this is this many milligrams of concentrate, this is this many milligrams of flour, give them that same experience and just see what the

differences of that might. Because I would wager that's it's obviously going to be the closest that we do have. But like THC alone, we also have the government has or pharmacies have a pharmaceutical version of just 100% synthesized THC. Yeah, it has no other compound, nothing else. And they sell that on the market.

It's been out for years. There's way more side effects and we know that of like it's when you take those distillate carts and they're really high THC and you know that hot dog water that you're puffing on has either no terpenes added, it's literally just the distillate. So it's really a horrible experience, or it has plant derived terps. So then the experience is fine. It's yeah, it's not the same

anyway. And like most distillates, they're distilling out a lot of cannabinoids and other things. So even if you add back, Yeah. So even when you put back in terpenes, you know, the experience is never the same. So that hot dog water, like I feel like that's where more tightness comes from, more anxiety, more racing thoughts, more like extremes on one end or the other of the experience. High dose, just not necessary for the experience to be complete or like the best experience.

But THC, like you said, it works with our endocannabinoid system. So we do have like the CB1, the CB2 receptors. I know there's a couple other ones that we mentioned within the actual endocannabinoid episode that it's like the five HT and some other ones in there TRPV 1 receptors. But they're basically in like your brain stem throughout your guts, throughout all your organs and then throughout your body.

And when that THC binds or unlocks those locks, the receptors, that's where you notice you'll get like a change in your mood or we get, you know, less stress or less pain, or we notice a change in our appetite where we get the munchies and, you know, we eat an entire bag of chips or two, so. Yeah. Well, I mean, but even then, like, you know, talking about like percentages, that's one thing.

Like when I started going through because why we wanted to redo this guys is we were just like, you know what, why don't we? We've learned so much more over the years about THC, how it affects our body.

And you know, Brandon and I feel like chemists when we can be able to manipulate how the THC is working within our body when we want to be it not just from consistent use over time, but leveraging other things, other terpenes and and how to be able to help your body relax during certain things or how to get rid of that feeling or like. Jesse between most episodes he will drink lemon juice and even just introducing high concentrates of lemon juice where that'll alter your

experience or introducing CBD. And then that like there's all these things that have been able to navigate, you know, that experience or even just the difference of like, hey, this strain made me feel horrible and I introduce a different strain that I know I have a better experience with and it can alter the experience that I am having and bring it to a better experience. Yeah, yeah, totally. And and the crazy thing about THC is the potency over the

years. So when I started going through the research, dude back in the 60s and 70s was only two to 5% THC. So that's, it's really interesting because so I made a post on TikTok about this and this is our most controversial post that had the most comments because it talked about how grew over the years and throughout the 80s. It was like at this percentage and by like the 90s it was this. And I had so many people arguing that's lies. It's crazy.

I was getting high back then. OK, well, just 'cause you were getting high doesn't mean that that was what the THC percentage was. And they're like, well, no, I got amazing stuff that look OK. Again, what was the lab results? Because again, everywhere I have looked, everywhere, I have not yet been able to find anywhere that proves or shows lab results from back then with anything higher yet we had so many comments from people of like, that's bullshit.

That's such crap. Well, I know that it was higher than that. It's just as high. It what? OK, Well, I would love to see it that that's true. But again, I'm not someone to go, well, I'm going to trust your feelings or something you're saying just because you're telling me, unless you can show me the proof or the data to support it, it's great.

It's a it's an opinion you have and I'm going to leave it at that, you know, but unless they have and that was literally what it came out and I commented on every single one was like, show me the data. I would love to see where that came from. Show me and a single one responded with it. And I'm like, this is the problem. You know, I would love to say that THC has been the same or like whoop Dee Doo that people not in every experience maybe, but that there are some growers.

But again, unless I can see it and there's proof, it's just hearsay, you know? Well, and especially where people who've been like when I was in, I was a, you remember when I was the CMO for that e-commerce agency in Utah. And when I was there, dude, we had this client back in New Jersey and I was joking around about smoking cannabis. And he's like, oh, I do that every day. And this guy's in his like late 60s and I'm like, oh, for real. And he's like, yeah. And I'm like, so what's been

your feeling on it? Like is it still as strong as it ever was? He goes, you know, I really can't tell you that honestly because I've been smoking every day since the 70s. He's like, and I, as I've gotten older and the consistency that I use, it just feels the same. So I can understand why those people feel that way. But the truth is, is our memory is, I mean, unless you've got my memory or it's eclectic, even then you're only remembering fragments and it's only your perception.

So it could have felt amazing, right? It's like saying Zima's got me really drunk. Here's the thing we know with cannabis is the more often and more frequently you use it, the less receptors you have, so the less high you can get. Meaning at the first your highs will always be more so you're always. Oh yeah, no, I was so high. I'm sure you were. I'm sure there's no denying that. But the fact is, is that THC has gradually grown. I mean, in the 90s it was at 5 to 10%.

Now it's anywhere from 25 to 30% and even more than that with craft grows. So when we're seeing this increase, you know, there's a big issue with a lot of people saying like, well, what's the safety on that? Help us with that Brandon like what do you the. Safety of high THC. Yeah, what what, what is the, what, what's the overdose level that you have to be at in order to die from THC? Yeah, so they did.

They were doing studies when I had looked and they might have something new now, but the last thing I had looked they were testing on rats because they hadn't found. There's Ald Dash 50 is what it's called with medications and an LD-50 means that at that dose, 50% of the patients die, 50% of the test subjects die like, and so they have one for every medication. There is a dose of water you can take like everything does, 'cause you can overdose on water. There's a guy who drank too much

and he died like it was. You brush your electrolytes out and your heart shuts down. Yeah, to test it. And it was like, OK, cool, so that happens. And with cannabis, they weren't able to find that dose in rats. So what they did is they hypothesized because if you can't find it in a rat, how you'd know what it is in a human. So they looked at it and they're like, well, we hypothesized that for a human to overdose on cannabis or THC, you'd have to consume 10 to 15,001 gram joints

in a 15 minute period. And I don't know about you or Snoop Dogg or Wiz Khalifa or anyone else out there, but I don't think I have ever seen anyone smoke that fast or have the capacity to do that without passing out. Like they would just fall asleep there. And even that was even if it is physically possible in that amount of time to smoke that many joints, but your body would literally pass out and you wouldn't be able to consume. Like there's no way your body would consume all of that.

Well, you'd probably die just from the smoke inhalation, I mean. 'Cause you're not breathing air, you're like, hey, my body didn't get actual air. The. The CO2 would kill you faster because you've cut out so much. See, that's the thing that I find so fascinating is that there's this huge push and huge

emphasis. And, and there will be a lot of people that are going to disagree with me and, and probably disagree with you on this, Brendan, but THC does not matter as far as how euphoric or how you feel on that. It has so many different other compounds to cannabis other than THC. So when you guys are looking for high THC amount and it's a hefty price too, it's not cheap. It always is like a higher barrier. They're like, oh, because that's what sells on the market is the

top sellers. And yet you can get some of the best experiences in 18 to 26% THC just fine. Amazing. Like a lot of these carts that you have here, I mean they'll be high percentages, anywhere from like 78% to 85%. Have you looked at the Co As for these? I I did at the beginning on a couple of them, but I haven't passed that. They're just on each of the boxes with the QR.

You scan it and it takes you to the Co as so it shows like the THC and the the cannabinoids, the terpenes that are in there. But yeah, I, I think it's really sad that the major push in the market, in the industry is for the highest THC percentages. Because I feel like if we had a better educated market, we would have such a wider range of just the cannabinoids, the terpenes.

Yeah, we might have a few that are in 30 percents, but most of them are honestly going to be probably 20s, you know? Yeah. And that's, that's great. That's plenty high and on top of it. But here's the plus side, because the focus is on high THC. Excuse me? Everything. Else is cheaper and that's what's nice. Some of our best experiences that we've had, and I hate to say this about dragonfly, but some of the best flower that they grow has come from Betty.

Yeah. And it's literally just they've got that barrier of and it's unfortunate. It's just because of the market, but it's like, hey, this doesn't get into Dragonfly because it's not the THC percentage that typically is there, but yet the experience is amazing. And yet they're like, Oh well, it's like 23% THC and I'm like, well, I loved that and the smoke was fantastic. So I'll take a ton. Like sign me up. Yeah. And put it on sale all the time.

Like that's the one thing, like when you're looking at sales, don't think you're getting these just bottom barrel stuff. A lot of time it's just lower THC because people come in and say what's the highest THC? It's like going into a liquor store and only buying Everclear. Yeah. Or 151 like yeah. Or. It's not something you do. And you have to think right?

A good experience, you're not drinking Everclear, you're not drinking 151. The best experiences are more for those either the craft beers, the like the whiskeys that you sip on, you know, wine that develops and has a lot of flavor. There's these things that you drink for the experience and then there's these things that you just drink to get messed up. And that's what. High teas just. Eat. Yeah. It's just like gross, you know?

So we've talked about that, but there's we all know about that the edibles turns into 11 hydroxy THC, right? It's a lot stronger than your smokeables, last longer, takes longer to kick in. Or five different Times Now different codes on it, but four to five times stronger than regular THC. Here's one that I found I really was interested in. We've talked about it. We've got things before. Like I remember in Colorado, you went and grabbed me once. You're like, oh, they have

these. I'm like, yeah, pick me that up. But it was topicals and topical THC is good. It works for soothing sore muscles. But you're not going to get high no matter how much you rub on yourself. Like I tried a ton of it and it said to like rub it here like. However, I will say that I have done a THC infused bath bomb and I did feel that from soaking in the bathtub for. That would make sense.

That would make sense because. Your body is because it's also the dosing like because your epidermis is the largest organ. So yeah. But it's so thick to be able to get to your bloodstream that's. Hard. Oh yeah, that's. Really hard. You really have to be high concentration. Highly concentrated in like direct areas. It's like the patches that I that you got.

I only got 1 and I put it on when I messed up my knee really bad and it didn't help because my knee was just in so much pain that yeah, it was 30 milligrams like. Dude, I put it on my back and I was just trying to see because I was a little bit nervous and that was a big nothing burger. I mean, I could have got the same thing from an Icy Hot patch, which I don't touch, but I, I literally could get that. So I, I just don't have a lot of faith in those.

I would rather get a really high quality CBD oil rub. Those by far have been awesome for pain relief and everything like that. That's what I would go to. I wouldn't spend the extra money to get a THC infused lotion. I think it's. Just honestly and this is just me so when I had got my Rd. rash. Oh yeah. I made my own lotion and all I did is I took the vaporized cannabis that I have and I infused it into lotion. And then I use that over the

next couple of months. And I feel like that actually helped a lot with pain with immediate stuff on the location and it didn't cost me anything in comparison. No. And you could do that with any lotion you have or anything like that. Literally just heat it up on the stove a tiny bit till it liquefies and then actually so I have made Lube out of. Yeah, you gave it to Mcclay, right?

Yeah, because he was trying to get some and they had bought some somewhere and it was like 80 or $90.00 a bottle. And like, I bought some out in Colorado and it was infused MCT oil. So that literally costs $3 for this bottle. Like there you go, you know, And so I was like use that. And then we made some here and we used it a couple times, but it just, we didn't use it a ton. I don't know. And experience me.

Emily's really lightweight and you just you have to let it like it takes longer to kick in. And so I wonder if, and I haven't messed around with it more because I haven't cared, but like figuring out faster infusions. I I know you turn it to like an alcohol infusion into a sugar. Usually those hit faster, but I don't want to put sugar into a lotion, so I'm not sure how I would.

Yeah, I don't know. So, you know, it's just figuring out whatever that might look like to do one for yourself at home. But like, if you're really looking at that, I'm like THC and making those, 'cause that was the disappointing one. I'm like, OK, even with the CBD lotions or the THC lotions, they're like, hey, this whole thing is 75 milligrams. I'm like, so you have less than half a gram of flowers worth in that entire thing and you're charging me how much? $60.

I can go buy an eighth of flour for 50 bucks and go buy an entire big ass thing of lotion and infuse that. And now I've got 10 times the amount that you did and it cost me maybe the same as your little tiny thing that was that big. And I'm like I. But it's just the perception of value. It is, I mean for those other people like you know, I was just telling you I, I cancelled with my former pest control company because they were charging me

like $60.00 more for less work. Yeah, they were like putting pests in your yard. And I was like. What the hell? Pretty much right? That's what they were doing. They were taking big old dog shits in my yard that are like my. Dog's not that big. But I don't know. Anyway, so yeah, it's it's you know what, do yourself a favor, get a little bit of research over there, watch some YouTube videos, make your own infused lotion oils. That's by far cheaper unless you just start just like, look, I

don't want to do all that shit. And if it cost me $50, fine, fuck it, I'll use it. If you're disappointed, whatever. There's also sublingual, right? So droppers, right Tinctures you put underneath your tongue. Takes about 15 to 30 minutes to kick in. Well, I have noticed and this so I just made CBD again yesterday because I was almost out nice. Yeah my back was hurting like crazy and I noticed that helps a ton when it's this cold time and

I feel way more everything. But I held it on my tongue and if I do that I start to feel it not fully kicked in, but I actually start to fill it within about a minute to two. Oh. OK. Because if you hold it under your tongue for at least 60 seconds, it bypasses the blood brain barrier and can go in directly underneath your tongue. So that's why you do it in a tincture versus, you know, just swallowing it because then you're again, you're still going to swallow it.

But if you can have it do that, it'll kick in faster and then you'll still have it digest and you know if it's THC get your 11 hydroxy. But I don't know what CBD can changes to after it's digested or as it digests. So that's a good question. Probably a whole different compound as well I would wager. Oh yeah, so one, and, and here's something I started thinking about. So so we know THC gets in through your blood, right? That's how it gets throughout the entire system.

That's how we feel, the euphoria, 'cause I mean, you think about how fast your blood is moving throughout your body every time your heart's pumping. I learned that when my dad was going to have his surgery and he was going through his main spinal column and it's like if that ruptures, you could die and bleed out in like less than 10 seconds because your body recirculates like all of your. And I was like, that's fast.

That's a lot of like, but that's how you can feel it when you smoke or you get it into your bloodstream that it's. But that's why intravenous is supposed to be like 100% where you lose 100% bioavailability, but you don't inject cannabis into your veins. That would be stupid.

Yeah, but that's the other thing I notice is bioavailability with medications is huge or experiences cannabis even if you're using it recreationally, you know, smoking versus sublingual versus edibles, you know, all of them have different percentages of like the amount of THC that you actually get once your body processes it. And so like, that's why. It goes so quickly, yeah. And then like an inhaler is supposed to be 98% bioavailability and that's why I'm always so curious and wanting.

Well, I've also seen nasal sprays. Oh, I wonder if that is very similar that it's like almost instantaneously. If the bioavailability of a nasal spray is similar to an inhaler like I, I'd be very curious to see if it or if it just goes into your nasal cavities. I wouldn't be curious. It's closer to your brain though, so maybe it it's. Well dude, I as a former addict of Afrin, whenever I used to get stuffy noses during, you know, when I. Get a cold. Afrin is a nasal dilator.

So what it will do is when you squirt it up your nose, all that inflammation, it lets it go. It's like a steroid. And so it opens it up so you can breathe. But the problem is it's time it it, it goes away, it goes out of your blood system pretty quickly. And so once it leaves, she becomes more inflamed and it can get to the point that I wasn't super addictive. Like when I get sick, I would use it because I just wanted to breathe. And I would just keep doing it

like every day. And it says after three days, don't use it anymore. Yeah, right. That was a suggestion. I was using it and it ended up lasting longer. So I would almost think like that would be an issue there too, of being able because the the bioavailability going up your nose. That's why it's so fast acting like you would feel it

instantly. And I actually like that more than an inhaler because then it's more inconspicuous for those individuals who are just like, I don't want any of my family to know that I use cannabis, But if they absolutely could put it in something like that where they're just like, you'll feel great. But none of that the reason why I like you know, it you take THC compared to any other thing like opioids and opioids leave your system. I think it's like 24 hours or five days or something like

that. It's a very short live, but with THC, it can stay in your system for up to 30 days because it it stores itself within the fat. And that's why Brandon can't get very high because he has no fat on his body. I wonder. I wonder if we. I used to get out of the beginning. Well, but we I wonder if we get a a sponsorship through Chuckarama. To just to see. Brandon, let's get him fat as we can and let's see if he can maintain his highs. Yeah, well, they they close

Chuckarama down the street. Now it's a car. Yeah. No. Yeah, no, they just looked Supposedly bioavailability on nasal sprays is different because it it goes into the mucosum and stuff versus your lungs. Yeah. So I, I don't know, I would be, I would be looking see what the. Person you guys have tried that? Let us know what your experience was. Love these comments have been coming through. It's so cool in real time. So what do you guys, when you

guys shop, what is your focus? Are you looking more for the highest THC? Are you looking for a specific terpene? If So, what is your terpene that you're looking for or are you looking for a cannabinoid? Are you more like, hey, I want it to have CBG or I really like, you know, when it has CBDA in mine as well? Like, is there something particular that you're looking for when you are finding a strain? Yeah, and talk to your bud, Tender.

I mean, you know, a lot of them have quite a bit of information. If they're a dipshit, you'll know right away anyways. If they keep constantly pushing you to the sale, to the sale, they don't know what they're talking about, That's fine. As a consumer, you have the right to be able to say hey, can I talk to somebody else? That's it. You're not a Dick. You're trying to be able to shop and it's for you. Don't just go with the suggestions of the cheapest shit that's on sale at the highest

THC amount and look around. Ask question, Have you gone to a dispensary that only has one person behind the counter? I have. You have. One in dinosaur, there was a time in dinosaur, one of the three that are there. Yeah, I went in and there was, oh, no, it wasn't dinosaur parachute. That's what it is. I know we probably smoked a lot more strains than anybody, you know, typically would do in their life. They usually pick a couple strains and they stick with those.

And it's been, I mean, it's hard work guys. It's really hard for us. Brand new. Fries sometimes. So many strains. This is straights but. Okay, I want to have new products and flower. I know, right? Shut up, we're Dicks. Anyways, okay, so I'm going to there's some cool stuff that I found and I wanted to share with this because it's towards the end of this episode. And how long does it stay in the system?

So from the information I found is how often you use it is actually what's going to dictate how long it stays in your system. So if you're a first time user, right, always get this guy. Oh, I can't try it because I will get drug tested and I'll lose my job. It clears out in a few days. Yeah, if it's on time, yeah. Regular use, it can linger for weeks, even a month.

Yeah, if you're like if you're a couple times a week and that it could be, but I think it was like if you're three times or more a week, you're probably almost 30 days. If you are a daily consumer like me, you're you're 30 days. Yeah, and well and and what what are the ways that the body excretes? I wanted to say that because it just sounds horrible. Sounds like I'm like a popping a zit and like I'm going to excrete THC from your body but. I mean in all sorts of ways. You pee it out.

Well, you sweat it out like. You breathe it out and. Exhale. Yeah, and you poop it out. And you poop it out. That's it. Like, I mean, that's, that's it. The five ways and oh this was a cool one too detection times so urine test 3 to 30 days depending on use blood test one to two days hair test up to 90 days saliva test up to 48 hours than most users that's the one that always blows my mind Brandon is because.

Of. You, but I seriously think it's because your body fat percentage is probably less than. I think it's because I barely had it touching the top of my mouth and my tongue. I was not swabbing my mouth, I was not letting it soak. It was barely sitting on there and they And so I was 'cause I was freaking the fuck out because I just smoked a joint or a bowl and got the. Call right before you left for work.

Oh, no, I wasn't. It was after I was chilling out back and I got a call like, hey, we want to offer you the job. And I was like, oh, that's fantastic. They're like, can you come in and fill out paperwork? And I was like, I come in and fill out paperwork. Yeah. And they're like, fantastic. When can you be there? And I was like, oh, I just finished. So if I wash my face, brush my teeth, you know, 20 minutes, I could be there in 20 minutes.

They're like, OK, cool. So do that, head there, get there, and they're like, hey, take this drug test, put this in your mouth. And I was like, but what? Maybe it was a combination of like, you being skinny as hell and you just brushed your teeth. You had toothpaste in there, right? Barely seen all at once, like I lucked out, but then I was transparent anyway. Emailed him, told him, hey, you know, I was out in Colorado, had a for a friend's funeral, had a had a cookie and didn't know it

was an edible. And I just know that it can supposedly stay in your system up to 30 days. So. And they're like, Oh well, appreciate the transparency. Not a big deal, but yours came back clean. And I was like, oh, all right, no worries then. I like that one word where I work with that one medical company, Summit Medical, and I told dude, I was so honest because she's just like, yeah, you got to do a pee test for drugs. And I'm like, why is that? She goes, well, you're going to

be going into hospitals. And so when you're selling pharmaceutical related products, you can't you have to have a clean drug test. I'm like, oh, cool. I said, hey, look, I was in Colorado and I was smoking with some friends and I smoked a lot. What should we do now? And she's like, can you wait for 30 days and not use any? Yeah, she goes, don't worry about it. My husband uses. I'm like, oh, cool. She goes, yeah. I'm like, how often does he use

it? She goes, well, if a cloud covers the sun and he goes inside and smokes sort of like he goes in, he goes, yeah, he smokes on her back patio all the time. He's just, like, just retired old dude. He just gets high all the time. So I mean, yeah, it all depends. But I mean, I think that's by far the best is being super transparent to, you know, don't hide it. Just go tell him.

Well, it depends. I mean, there are some companies that are very like they won't let you have a job there if you. Yeah, like Kennicott, Utah, the largest open pit mine in the world, and they just let. Their. It's one of the biggest ones in the world. You can see it from space. Oh, I know it's big. I just don't. Yeah, it's. Massive. It's one of the biggest copper. It's the biggest copper Open pit mining.

I can see that, yeah. But it which is insane thinking about that place is still going and how big it is and how far I've. Heard that it pays for itself just off the gold that they have found in its mining. That's how it runs in that like every and I'm like. Well, but dude, they used, they used to be super cool about it and I just found out 'cause I posted that thing on Facebook online going Oh yeah, late, huh, Up smoking weed.

Me too. And it just shows this dude outside on top of a roof, like it's a silhouette. He's just like, and the smoke's coming out. And one guy commented on there, he's like, yeah, he goes, just found out that my company's not letting me have my medical card either and told them by January, anybody using cannabis or has cannabis in their system will be let go. And my brother has a friend that's been working there for about 20 years now. And I was like, what's he going

to do? And he's like, he's already looking for another job. And they're like that's 20 year veteran for your company and you're going to lose them because. They use a medicine in the state? Yep. No, that guy could get Vicodin, That guy could get Percocet, get fucked up and be on the job. Nobody would know it until something bad happens, Yeah. That's nuts, but it's acceptable. That's that's the double standard I don't appreciate in our society is definitely, I
