Welcome to cannabis school. I'm your host Jessie Angeles and I'm Brandon Elder and we're here to talk to you about everything pertaining to cannabis from debate flower Edibles strains and everything in between. This week actually has been fantastic. This month's pure roll on. Has been saving my life. How many of you right now? Have used your mom's payroll on today? I have, I have. Absolutely. Yeah. Where did you rub it?
I put mine on my neck and my shoulders, like, right before hopping on, because I know that before recording, I'm always sore and I just want to move around more so it definitely helps. Yeah. Are you rubbing? I have bad tennis elbow for years. I've had bad tennis elbow due to being that kid where somebody says, don't do that because you'll regret it when you're older, like shut up old man. And now I'm the old man. And I'm like, man, this hurts
all the time. But seriously, when I put it on there, for my tennis elbow by left, elbow is the worst within minutes. I'm feeling complete relief, it's a cooling sensation and then it'll heat and cool. It's amazing Mark where you put it on brother so I put on my neck, Every day and not that I have neck pain or neck soreness, but I've had multiple neck surgeries and I find it really
helps my range of motion. So for me, I'm doing it to maintain that range of motion and flexibility so that I don't end up being stiff. Who you just heard from is the founder of mons Pura Brandon who we talking to today? We're talking to Mark, Mark's an awesome guy, he's six generation farmer and also in a Attorney and a boat. Captain a wide variety of things here. Mark, what did you guys Farm before you were farming him?
We were actually about the time. We started farming and we were raising about 10,000 acres of alfalfa. We've been raising Alfalfa and other specialty crops that we actually process and Export internationally for about three decades. Now, three decades with farming, did you farm the whole I mean you were in law school though. Nope, actually my father when I was growing up told me don't be a poor farmer and so did. I went to school, get an
education separate from. So I actually went and got a finance and accounting degree and then I went to law school and so I practiced law for about 10 years. After I graduated school and then I became a commercial fisherman for almost two decades went out and I was a brine shrimp captain and And I did International exploration for our company and so I worked abroad quite often shrimp. Crafton. Yep. Yep. I we had a branch from Fleet so I was a shrimp boat captain. Bubba Gump, Shrimp.
There you go. Yes. I love me some Bubba. Gump's, I actually have a shirt so so I want to go back just a little bit Mark. So you talked about you or an attorney, what type of internee, where you? Well, I started out actually the prosecutor's office so on the West Coast by went to law school up there in Seattle. So I got a job in the prosecutor's office and I was assigned to the drug and gang
task force. So we prosecuted drug offenses actually and I'm sure during that time it was a lot of cannabis offenses as well. The other was a lot of cannabis offenses. The drug of the time was cocaine that was you know oh yeah in 80's and but cannabis was regular almost every day. What were your thoughts on
cannabis back then? I hated it to be honest with you hyah I really, really didn't like cannabis and And I actually had a, pretty myopic view, you know, I was, I was indoctrinated in the war on drugs and and not that they didn't have some good premises, but rightly, it was, it was, it was overbroad, overreaching. And it was misguided with, with, especially with regard to cannabis. Anyway, my opinion now definitely seems like you've come a long way. You were what was that
conversation first? Like when your kids came to you about cannabis hemp? Well, that was kind of it was Honest with you was kind of intense as things went on back back in about 2017. Before the, the current Farm Bill had passed. My son was farming with me and he asked me if I would consider raising cannabis, I pretty
abruptly told him. No, we're not doing it about a year later actually came to me and said, dad, you really need to open your mind a little bit and he had done a bunch of research and so he handed me a stack of articles, some Returns research and some scientific, you know, articles and so I read them, he said, now how do you feel? I said, heck no we're still not doing it took me, it did take me
a few years. Actually, it really did to actually see, I had to look at both sides, but what was interesting is during that whole process, I really, really, really became convinced that cannabis was had a potential to do yours. Great things, really great things and I had no no preconceived notions of what might or might not happen. I literally it was kind of like a young person, learning something for the first time.
And so for me, it was a big journey and you know to see me jump in and and be where we are today. Was it's a big change for those who knew me. So you say young person. Would you mind sharing how old you are? I'm 62. So 60 made that jump. Jump. So you were a lawyer for a while. What made you leave that to go into brine shrimp?
Well, I I actually really love the adventure of Brian shrimping and I was doing it more and more and more I was being gone more and more and so I really didn't feel it was fair to the law firm my clients to be gone so much. I retired from law and went full time into the commercial fishing. In the international exploration, I want to hit on something critical. You had talked At about you being a shrimp boat captain, and you wasn't just one.
You were, you were helping command a whole Fleet from my understanding. Yeah, at the end, we had 40 vessels or so. When I retired Say about you talked about something that people may not think about. But when you're doing extremely dangerous jobs, hard job such as that and and I was former Navy and you're talking about, I mean, just the area between Washington and California, that
San Diego area caught. I mean, it's rough Waters, it's Rough Waters. And just thinking about the swells that you must have seen must have just at first then what am I doing here? But then after a while, I would imagine Imagine you still miss that, I do love it and I people ask me all the time, you know, I would not have stopped doing it. It, I loved it a lot. My partner's had two partners and they were, they wanted to move on to something different.
And so, since we were Partners, I agreed to that. Did you get a lot of injuries and not going fishing? Yeah. You know, I, I have lived, a fairly active life and so I've had a lot of injuries you know, broken bones and and a few She is along the way and some I have a few replacement parts and so I don't know, I'll ask out it was over 30, broken bones. I think that I remember that's impressive. Tim and Jackie Chan.
Most broken. I don't know if it's impressive or stupid, but, you know, my opinion was always set it and get back to work. See, I've never broke a bone. I've sprained ankles and I've had lots of stitches, but I've never broken a bone. So to me up in the 30s is like, wow. God, I've only Broken. A few bones. I broke my collarbone in and I can only imagine what you feel mark, because whenever there is a change in barometric pressure, I feel it right here.
I know when a storm is coming, your body must light up like a Christmas tree. Yeah, you know, it does. And, you know, one of the, one of the things that that was kind of surprising is when I was in my 40s, you know, I was a shrimp boat captain. I thought I was invincible and I was diagnosed with arthritis, I couldn't believe it. You know, I thought I was invincible. I was, I was a Captain Canada. So that arthritis has, you know, really impact at all those injury areas over the years,
they it heightens them. I know where they're at, I can draw the the fractures, Going to say Mark you have brought you told us about the medications you're on, would you mind Sharin how many medications you were on over those years? I took, you know, a fairly wide array of arthritis, medications. Probably some of you heard of the Celebrex. I took the early large dose of Celebrex for, you know, the
better part of a couple decades. I took, you know, Advil on a daily basis most days it was if I could get by with 12 Advil to be a good day but most days it was 16 and I did that every day to keep my body going. Keep the inflammation down, you know, and paint pain was important but if the inflammation got strong enough it would it would limit me and I wouldn't be able to you know, lift and jump and run and stand and do all the things that I was used to doing.
And so I did I had, you know, lots of visits to doctors and lots of different medications and I had multiple different prescriptions. You know, I took Tramadol I've had, you know, use those over the years and I think that it kind of worked until it didn't, you know, and unfortunately the toll it took on my body was fairly severe and so, you know, eventually I ended up in the hospital bleeding ulcers.
And so, from that day on which, by the way, is for years, next month that day on. I didn't take a baby aspirin. An aspirin and Advil or Celebrex, I'm taken one since that day, but I had to stop taking those. In order that you know, save my life. It was important. If I remember the day you might find this amusing. But I was at the hospital there and and I said doc, I'm not dying here.
He said, well actually you are, I'm a techie and call your wife tell her you're not coming home and so, you know, from that day on, that's when I made that choice that no matter what, I would do what I needed to do to get my health strong enough. So I could at least Live. So I quit taking all of the things that kept me moving, you know. And as you can imagine, you know, I got fairly stoved up
after that. My arthritis, you know, came back with a, with a Vengeance. So I was, I was, you know, my ankles wouldn't work shoulders elbows. My fingers were. I couldn't make a fist. There was a period of several years. I couldn't Snap My Fingers. I literally can't Snap My Fingers. So you know and sleep was course impacted by that because, you know, I had a lot of pain and discomfort. So it wakes you from your sleep?
Yeah, sleeps kind of essential and so I I was you know, I was experiencing what it was like not to be able to mask those injuries and symptoms. How long after that was that? That your son's brought you into cannabis? See it was probably about six to nine months that well. So me back up. Growing cannabis. It was literally right at that time, is when we were doing it, right? When all this happened was literally at the end of our first harvest.
So we've been working on that first year, you know, 70 to 100 hours a week and you know, and I was on my feet every day, you know, 16 hours and so I had been taken quite a bit of, you know, anti-inflammatories and and that's probably what finally didn't lie. My, my stomach, and that's when I ended up in the hospital, right? At the end of that Harvest, literally within days of the end of that arm. I guess that's perfect timing tab. Yeah, were you using CBD before
that? Time at all, I had tried it. I had tried multiple different brands. I tasted Manny. I don't know, maybe dozen different brands, and I was kind of like a lot of people, if you had asked me, I would say, CBDs good but it doesn't work for me. And it was clearly. Now I know that it was based on what what I was taking and how I was taking it, but I didn't know that then. And so my opinion was that CBD, worked for people who need to be calm down.
Or I need a little rest but it clearly wasn't something that would help with my, my symptoms. That was my opinion. I'm thinking about like, what you had said before, when when you started taking it in your son's, they experimented with multiple different flavors and different methods are there. What do you remember from like, your first Interactions when taking a teacher. What was it tastes like for you? And did you tell them, boys, you can make this better.
Well, I'll tell you what. What happened was, you know, we had decided that we would we would build a processing facility. And the boys came to me and said, hey Dad, we want to use you for guinea pig on our on our on these cannabis formulas because you know, anything in your blood. So so basically what they had done is they've devised that they would. They would give me the CBD and then they would do uptake studies, you know. So I got I think I drug-tested
50 times that first year, right? So so they would be the product. I don't think I'd ever been drug tested in my life by the way. Just so you know, the first times, but it was a weekly basis. And so in those days, you know, we didn't have flavors and like we have today, and in fact, those days, we were working on our refinement, we had the extraction, and in the processing fee, Up it. But they were, you know, they were developing.
And so literally in the first days they would come with a syringe and put it in a spoon, and I would take that Spoonful. It wasn't flavored at first at all. It was pure natural and I didn't like it. I didn't like the flavor, but I was willing to do it. And, and I actually had no expectations about what would happen to me, really, we were focusing on the the studies the drug up takes and so, you know, over the next several months.
We tried a lot of different flavors because boys would formulate, you know, try this mint, try this Citrus, they had some flavors that were pretty, I thought would be great but we're terrible. I thought root beer would taste great, but it didn't work very good and so and and I will tell you at the same time, they were developing flavors for the animals. And so I I tasted all the Is the bacon and the fish and being a butter and they weren't bad.
What was the worst one? I didn't like the fish at all, that's not to say that's a salmon. But that salmon flavored CBD. Was not good in my opinion but the cats like it, I started the bacon one when we did a review on one of them on the episode, a Triton was like oh yeah it tastes like bacon bits. Like does it was my choice? I like it. I think it smells and tastes good. I think it's pretty darn close.
Duh, go. So actually at the beginning, Inning, I really, you know, was just doing it for the for the study impact. I really didn't have any expectations of any personal benefits. You had, you asked me, do you have problems sleeping? I would have said, no, I don't sleep because I wake up from pain but I don't have problems sleeping in my mind. When head, you start me feel a difference within about probably, 10 to 14 days. I started filled pretty for me.
They were significant differences. I felt like I was waking up. Much more rested. And I felt like I was getting a more sound sleep, which was odd to me, because I still had a little pain. You know, I did start to see you though within a couple of weeks, dramatic differences in my range of motion.
You know, I started to feel like my shoulders had a lot better range of motion within about the first month, my granddaughter came, and I was showing her how to click your fingers and it also not occurred to us all my goodness. He's Clicking his fingers and then that forever. And I'll and So within about a month I started to feel Pretty significant reduction in my pain in my joints and I was pretty convinced that it was demonstrable.
I could feel it and I you know in the boys were starting to to be pretty excited about. Wow I mean we're seeing this, you know, this is a guy that couldn't get on his horse. You know I told my partner don't put shoes on my horse cuz I can't get on. Hmm, I was back on the horse and back climbing in a tractor again and and I was back on my surfboard which you No, for me was important and I hadn't been able to do it. I was I was stoked up enough.
I could not get on a board and you know, within a month or two I was back on a board. Every Saturday as long as I wanted and that made a big difference I could we could see it. Yeah. Was it is it true that your boys pulled a fast one on you with the placebo? Yes they did about about four or five months into taken the products by then we'd come up with some pretty good flavors and I will tell you just Within about two months, I told them we are going to produce this
product. I'll stroke the check. This is, we have to do this. We need to make this, let's get the research done. Let's make this because for me, it was impactful. I it was a nine-day different. So I was, you know, I was going to be the poster boy. This is so great. I love this, you know, and I was sharing with family members who had had significant, you know, changes then about four or five months into it. All of a sudden, I started to not quite fill the sky.
And it was fairly quick, like an within a week, my hand was starting to ache a little bit and my shoulder was hurting one night. I woke up to in the morning, staring at the ceiling thinking. Oh my gosh, I knew this was too good to be true. I just, oh my gosh, I was so disappointed because I felt great. Then all sudden I was disappointed and but I, you know, it's kind of a bear. I don't tell the boys.
Alright, so go ahead. So I'm like, I was keeping it to myself and just doing over it, right? Then about the third night. You know, the attorney in me came out, I was negotiating with myself right laying their wide awake. So finally, I decide that's it. I'm going to go tell the boys, I figured it out. So I remember the morning I went in the lab and and both my boys, Richard and Aaron were in the lab.
I said, hey, do you guys think maybe that, you know, you've just given me so many different CBD? So many different things over the last several months at my body. Got used to it and they're like, what are you talking about? I said, well, you know, for the last maybe 10. Days to two weeks, I just have been feeling worse and worse and worse. And I'm getting worse range of motion and I'm not sleeping. They're like, well, so when did it start?
And I told them and then they both just started laughing, you know, and I'll be honest with you, I like was a little clueless, then I didn't think it was that funny. And and then they said, well, you know, Aaron said, well, you know, Richard in his mind, he Placebo Jack and they totally fooled me because In those days. Remember, they would give me the oil and I would take it each morning then they would record it. What I was, you know, whatever
test we were doing. I totally didn't realize it, Richard took the CBD out of the oil and was just giving me, you know, because in his scientific mind, he was like, oh my gosh, this is too much. This guy's got, he wants to feel better, you know. And so so they did, they Placebo with me and and, and it had been exactly, by the way, two weeks before I want to talk to that. They have done is funny. So We learn here in a couple things right to real important.
Things one is you know cvd is not a cure just helps our body help itself. And the other thing is, you can write your kids out of the will with a stroke of the pen. I want to go into a little bit with Richard and Aaron tell us, you know why, I mean they're not just a bunch of guys that read some cool stuff online and said let's try and make it like tell us a little bit more about your boys and why it's so important that we Stand who they are in the process of mons, Pura, sure.
So, you know, the guys grew up around us, all right. So I've I've had processing facilities, you know, for 30 years and so when for instance, Richard was a young boy, he's to come and he would like hanging out around the lab. We had a wet lab with, you know, half a dozen eight, guys, working in there and we had a dry lab before five guys working in there. We, when we were producing, you know, feed Rose remains and And also additives vitamins. And so he would be hanging out there, right?
So when he, when he grew up, he went to college and became a scientist. That's what he went to school for was to become a scientist and and it just it always rang true to him. He loved to figure things out and he loved, you know, being on the farm and all the boys, you know, grew up driving tractors and they were on the farm and they grew up, you know, riding around on the boats and flying the airplanes and things that we did. But in the heart, Richard He was a scientist.
And so he went on to become a scientist. And after that, he decided that he would also go to law school. So he went on to law school and he wanted to learn a little more about intellectual properties, patents, and formulas and recipes. And so he continued his education, Aaron had always loved the farming, and growing and, and Manufacturing aspects. And so, after he'd gone to school and economics, he came and landed.
And management. He came and was farming with me at the ruin, our big plant, and he was running the and helping with the production facility that we had. So they they have that background in in science, Agriculture, and Manufacturing foods, and food items, so, yeah.
They, they kind of had the background to do the research, but I will tell you, Aaron was the first one, he figured it out and he came to us. And, and once I was sold on it, I told him let's Do this, but I'll only do it if you can talk Richard into it. And so he had to start the process all over again and talked his big brother into doing it because because him and his law background, he was a
little against cannabis also. And so I told him I'll only do it if we have Richards background because we need it. We really do rely on his scientific background a lot. Yeah, it seems like you guys have created one of the cleanest products that we found today. So, yeah, we she ate that appreciate, that's been our goal from the beginning. I have yet to meet Richard. But the rest of the team has
been fantastic. So I'm at Richard and I'll tell you it's to get on the same level of him as far as scientific explanation especially about cannabinoids and everything else like that. Like it was it was it was very refreshing to be able to talk to somebody within these types of facilities because Brandon see a bunch of them, I've seen a bunch of them and a lot of times it's a bunch of Bro Science and I don't want to be cruel to anybody who may be developing.
That type of product of cvd within teachers gummies, Etc. But quite honestly, Brandon and I have tried dozens and dozens of different types and one of the things that really got us was the scientific approach that you guys take and I actually want to touch on that one on the testing. Can you share with us the testing that you do and why? It's vital? When those when you've got consumers out there looking for a viable strong And very well
put together CPD product. Like why is it important to have the testing? Well, that's a great question. Well, look, cannabinoids are there small, right and, and when we start talking about things, like our endocannabinoid system, those are really molecular things. And you need to have a fairly specific laboratory to actually analyze and look what was going on within those things.
And so when we first started, Richard said, look, I have one Fireman, I want one instrument, I want a laboratory, but his want one instruments called the gas chromatography machine. He said, I want one that pairs up really good with the one, the state of Utah uses and they use up at the University. So that when I run that instrument my test results can be compared to theirs. And so that was really huge for us. You know, the turnaround on most of these profiles is 7 to 10 days.
Richard can run 150 of those a day through his laugh. So, weird, and development, and we're doing research. We can we can do a lot of that. Just right there and house don't give us names but you've done testing on a lot of other CBD Brands. What have been the results that
you guys have found? So we have done a lot of testing, I'll tell you that we've tested so I'll start with some of the interesting things we have found and we set up pretty strong guidelines from the things that we knew to watch for were lead. Mercury arsenic cadmium for his far as metals and most of the pesticides. Mostly not so much herbicide. But a lot of pesticides like promethium. So we started watching for those things in the first tan. They came in and we tested at
our facility. All 10 failed we found in those 10 lead Mercury, arsenic cadmium promethium, not not everything in all of them, although some did have everything in it. And but but, you know, then beyond that we started seeing a lot of products on the shelves. And so we would buy it and run it tested or maybe a friend would give it to us. And and and so We've seen a lot of interesting. Things that don't quite match up with the labels.
One of the probably most pervasive things that we saw was that many of the labels didn't represent what was really in the product, really? So yeah it would say something like I won't say her name but there's a particular company that was advertising 45 hundred milligrams of CBD in their product and when I first saw it, I will I'll tell you and I thought well, that's awesome. Oh my gosh. Yeah. You know, we tested there was 246 in there and the whole bottle.
Yeah, so you have to read the fine print there using smoke and mirrors. So basically what they're saying is we have this proprietary micro encapsulating process that makes our CBD mysteriously more powerful. So we can 9x are our product and, and so I know. So, we see some that we saw that quite often probably, well, I will tell you. You this that first year, when we first got the machine up, we brought in 9 or 10 different products and 9, or 10 of those products all failed.
They, they didn't have what they said they had in them, and that's, that's a big issue, you know, is how much is really in there? I will say the probably, the one of the most common things we find is residual, alcohols. I thought we find that a lot just from their extraction methods or their poor extraction methods. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The after they distract, you know, Not finish in the refining. So we see that often I will say that that there are some
products that are good. They, I mean, as far as what they say they have they have and you know, sometimes we say we would like a little more in there because, you know, we think the the efficacy of small doses is pretty diminished. But and that's probably the most common thing we see is that, you know, they're just not very much actual CBD in there. The other thing that we find a lot is, is isolate since Stead
of Fuller broad spectrum. We see a lot of, but that's becoming less, and less, by the way, less and less, and less eye slits when you have contaminated biomass like, like I talked about what we saw, if you'll run it through a chemical badge and burn it down and burn everything off, but that isolate, you can probably burn off some of those heavy metals and pesticides and insecticides that were in the test.
But then you'll just end up with with the actual Heist little, there's something you were talking about previously. We talked and you were mentioning that there's scientists that told you there's something you guys couldn't do with your product. What was that thing?
You can't do? Gummy's have become pretty popular but one of our whole bags for gummies all along has been that the bioavailability the efficacy of it's not you know it's high because your stomach is going to deteriorate that and you lose so much through eating it it won't be absorbed. And so we've always Richards had this goal. That what if we could make a gummy that that's absorbable? Well, the problem is to do that, how are you going to do that in something that will stay firm or
in a molded in a molded? So basically he's come up with a proprietary blend that it's based on MCT oil. So so our gummies are actually not water-based or MCT oil based and so literally the gummy is the same exact dose that you're taking in a, in a standard team, sure offer. But it's, it's it's based on Well, so that our bodies can absorb it and we get, you know, substantially higher absorption rates. It's really it's amazing.
And so, the key was right to build something like that, that didn't taste really like some kind of cleaning fluid or most of them. Do they taste like some kind of alcohol or list or yeah, you know and and therefore coated in Sugar of some sort. Yep, they caught him and sugar because that's all they can keep sticking together because they're using, you know, a gelatin base. So the scientists were talking about, You know when he saw he's like I can't believe. Did I told Richard?
He couldn't do that. Do you know the comparison of bioavailability from the MCT gummies? Versus like a standard water-soluble yet varies. So each gummies, a little different but generally we think about 45 to 65 percent. When we think of something you chew it up and swallow. As far as the mineral value, we think of about 45 to 65% in these in these gummies, we think it's about 85 to 90%, which is so much Higher than you get with any other bioavailability of Edibles, anything?
Yeah, it's almost as good as a tincture. It's really close to. I mean, the taste, you know, we use the was a pink lemonade and it's absolutely delicious. But the one thing I will say about this gummy is that it is completely different and Beyond any of the other ones I've ever tried, just like Brandon said, like we've tried CD ones where
it tastes like a tire. And you're like, oh and it's got some sugar in it and they're like, oh, but it's lemon flavored know, like that's nothing like lemon it. If those are lemons than they must hate you, you're like, this is like lemon cleaner. But like, I'm not sure what you're tasting here. It's fabuloso. Underneath my sink where I clean my floors with right? And like you said, I mean, 10 to 14 days, you starting to feel a
difference, you are. I mean, I've seen your knuckles, you know, you you inspire me to get this for my dad, because my dad has horrible arthritis. He's almost 70. And he's got one knuckle that is just like used into place and he's like, he's shoveling as many ibuprofen like you talked about it, like you're not standard, you know, civilian dosing, you're going military dosing there you know least 1600 milligrams in one day of ibuprofen.
That's most doctors would say that's going to cause really hard problems. You're like I can't move without it. Yeah that's it. Just taking that amount a long so actually I wanted to ask on that. So can you kind of give us a quick rundown as far as the products that you guys have developed so far that are available? Yep. So, of course, our base are the the 2000 mg tinctures and they come in multiple flavors, we have natural flavor, which is really quite popular.
And I, I've become quite accustomed to it. I kind of like it, but we have mint explosion, and we have citrus burst. We also Make a product though, for those people who can't have any THC and we know a little THC, is great, for the Entourage effect is real. We don't have to even speculate anymore. Now, there's tons of great research, that shows it's real. So a little little Tac is good for us, we know that. But some people can't have that most because their employment,
right? And so, we make a product, we call broad spectrum and THC free. So it has the full spectrum of cannabinoids in there, which is really, really, really important. That's a topic for a whole other. Long discussion, we're able to eliminate, just the THC. So that product really become popular for those who want to benefit from cannabinoids, but have to be careful about
testing. Then we also have topicals because, you know, ingesting is a great way and it does regulate with our endocannabinoid system, but topicals are Great to focus like you say, with the roll-on on your neck, or your elbow, your back. So we have, we have the pain cream roll on which is as, you know, pretty pretty magical.
We Also, have a healing cream. The healing cream is in a lotion form and it is used for a right kind of a variety of purposes, but the most important thing is it really is a healing cream.
It's a Wonderful lotion. If you want to have soft hands, I think I have the softest Farmers hands around because I I do I put it on every day but I find benefits even, you know, for me and I actually applied to my Knuckles every day because I want that concentrated CBD there on my Knuckles, but it's wonderful for healing and and for scar reduction Shinto, we do have a pet product, you know, animals have an endocannabinoid system just like us the subset people to.
And so we decided to build a really potent full spectrum product for our animal friends. And so we, we've had huge, huge success with that people. Love that we've seen a lot of really great success stories with what paths, - he takes it every day. Yep, Yoshi lat. Why are cannabinoid so important in your seat? Products. That's a great question. Um, you know, sometimes I know it's not exact but I love to use the example of a multivitamin, you know, vitamin E is important
but it isn't the whole shebang. And when people say CBD we understand that it's a term that generally means all of the cannabinoids, but that actual cannabidiol, you know, cannabinoid is important but it's not the whole shebang and we know that if you want to get real benefit, going to need to have the rest of that Spectrum. You want some tea. BN + CB G CV. You're going to want a little THC because those cannabinoids also interact with our
endocannabinoid system. And if you want a good night's rest, don't just take CBD. If you want relief. Your arthritis don't just take somebody. That's like saying if you want to if you want to be healthy don't just take Vitamin C. So all of our products are all natural and you know, that's something that we've really special with those ingestible 's and make them taste. Good with all natural ingredients is has been a Jake. But I think we made it. We're there.
Yeah, I remember you had said something about and it just goes to test like how unique this product is. So you talked about the pain roll on and you had said, you know what I do? I put it on my feet and I thought that was strange as could be but Brandon was like, I'm going to try it out and I tried out the exact same time. Brandon what was your experience been? So that day I had been hanging as a day.
I was working with my dad. Oh was Was so he was randomly doing sprinklers in his Park and was like, hey I need to do this, I thought I was done at like noon. So I'm hosing off my feet with my shoes on my socks because they're covered in mud. And right after that, he realizes, hey, there's no electrical running under. My driveway, from this side to this side. So where I think I'm done at noon. Add six more hours of working on my feet doing stuff with wet
socks and wet shoes. So, I got home and my feet were just killing me. And I rolled it on my feet and I took like two droppers of the tincture. And obviously, it's me. So I went and smoked a whole bunch and my feet just were so relaxed. It took all of the pain away and within like a couple minutes it just yeah it is amazing. Yeah. I Had one. I mean I tried it multiple times on my feet. I have slight pain in my feet. I have a little bit of diabetic neuropathy in my feet.
I'm not a heavy guy by any sense but unfortunately through the wonderment of genetics I've got our I've got type 2 diabetes and you know, I've used it there but the time that was the most impactful for me with this. So there's a water park near where we live and we went there with the family and my six-year-old son wanted. Go on the slide, you got to go up and you carry this. Like, I don't know, like a little like a look at the bogging thing.
I don't know what the hell to call, but you get on it and then you go down the slide and you go straight down, but walking up and down. This thing was killing my feet. And by the end of that day, I couldn't even walk very well. And when I got home, I rub this on was sitting in my room. Just kind of thumbing through my phone, 15 minutes later. I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna go downstairs are going to get myself some food and No pain.
I hear the stories all the time and I'll tell you, it took me a little bit to do it. Finally took my wife, saying we had done an event and I was standing in the booth for like 16 hours in my dress shoes and I came back to the hotel. And I said, I don't think I can stand there tomorrow for 16 hours. She said, put it on your feet. I'm like I'm not putting roll on on the bottom of my feet.
So she said, I'm telling you do it, I did the next day, it just dawned on me. My goodness, my feet don't hurt. I was able to do it. Well it taught me. A lesson since then you know? And so you know, if I work out even if I serve my feet get sore but it all night and I'll feel better. It really does work. I think almost everybody I have put it on thousands and
thousands of people. Everyone feels it, you'll feel it. Oh yeah, I put it on before I go work on something every day because I start I wake up hurting and so but it on takes out a way. I can still have like a normal range of motion without having the quick crazy. On my back and yeah, it's just like a simple roll on. I carry this thing with me. I have a little goodie bag of medicine and it's got my teacher, my pens, like my role on basically, I'm like, alright,
some ground-up flower. My packs. This bad boy comes with me everywhere. It's awesome. I keep one in my boat, in my truck and in my tractor, I do because you don't know when you'll need it and it's nice to have it there. Oh yeah, yeah, I have been very impressed.
Mark, with with the company that you have helped create with your boys and I say with your boys because they're a there are really the reason why we have this wonderful product and then being able to bring you into the fold Aaron trying to. I mean, let's just real big round of applause for Aaron everybody. Because Aaron was able to push this. Because seriously, I mean we we love the monster of product so much that we came to him said, hey look, you know, how can we partner with you?
To be able to get this out to our audience because our audience has to solve the time like what are the strains that you guys recommend? What are the products? What are the brands? And when it comes to CD honestly we had a lot of them like gifted to us like here try it out and Yeah CBD company we go to is like Hey try our stuff. Yeah. And it's at the same point now where, you know, when somebody asked me like, hey, do you want
to try this strength? They hand me a joint pipe, whatever, I'll ask them, what is it? And they, if they can't tell me, I won't touch it. And I have gotten to that same point with CBD. Because if something goes, hey, man, just have a CD gummy, like it's supposed to be good for me. Like, I would rather take one of those Gatorade gummies, to be honest, because at least I know that what's in it, and it's going to be sugar, gelatin and whatever random stuff they put in there and sodium.
But with these products, I mean, honestly, for me, and I'm speaking for Brandon, Brandon will say to, it has literally changed the way. I have felt about high-quality CD. And it has really taken it up. Another level to the bar is set high with this really hide it. You know, when we started, you know, we said, look, we have the chance to build it from the beginning, we built it with the end in mind, we weren't under the gun to do anything other than to make the product we wanted.
And we started with a real simple. Simple principle. We said, if we wouldn't give it to our own family, we won't give it to yours. And we just kind of live by that if we anything that we sell to the Public. It would be something we would give to our own family first. Wow, that's very like to hear. That's why we give it to our family here. So, yeah, absolutely with you guys. Thanks for tuning in this week guys. Yeah again, thank you guys for listening mark.
