Yo, what is going on? Everybody? Welcome to a new episode of my canon cast. I'm Canaday. We are back and we're gonna be doing a couple reviews, different style reviews because it's for the Best in Grass Competition. We found out that they extended the deadline, so they actually worked perfectly for us because we still had a couple left that we weren't able to finish, and it got extended to the thirty first of May. So if you're
listening, you got a week and a half. If you want to go pick up a bag, you could probably still go get a bag and be able to review this because I've seen some of them still at stores, So get one of these Best in Grass competitions. Not gonna lie to set up how they have the reviews. We'll be going in it as we're discussing the first one. The first one reviews the Cap Junkie. But before I get in all that, we're also gonna talk about Groovys trip from Ireland. He's
back. We're gonna talk about some cannabis. Yeah, how it was differently here compared to Ireland. And then we're gonna jump into schedule three. They Biden announced a d it's just some things we read. We got a little video that I'm gonna pull up from a news source that I just kind of you know, they give you some perspective for some people, so you know, I just thought it was interesting at least pull up and just kind of be like, you know, what's this all about? So, yeah,
that's the episode. It'll be fun being back at it and just kind of getting back into like normal things. So we're coming. We're back, Yeah, we are, we are here, we are here, So let's kick it off. Groovy. We're gonna do the Uplifted Flower. Uh. Cap Junkie is the strain we're gonna be reviewing, So we're just gonna talk and I'm gonna open up their app here. So it's kind of cool, not
gonna lie. It's kind of similar to how we review our stuff already, so to be honest, it's not gonna change too much for me and you groovy when we're doing it, yeah, you know. And then that's what I thought was pretty cool when we were looking over the uh what's it called the website when we did the episode with Mark, Uh, it was really good, just a good website. So am I curious is here. I'm gonna actually, well, I'm gonna pull it up in one second. I
have it somewhere. I just have to find the right look because I have so many looks. What you pulling up the website, the website, the judge areas? Like you could pull up the judge area too, that'd be kind of cool. Can I pull up they send you the link on it's in our email? All right, stand by, I'll do that while you talked to and it's I want to let you know it's our email and our generic passwords. Yeah yeah, yeah, cool cool, cool cool cool.
So I'm gonna go into it. Why Groovy pulls it up so you can actually see some of the judging and what we're what we've been going through. And next week we'll let you know what our favorite product was out of the bag. And we'll be at the live June eighteenth at the Royal Oak Music
that Mark's doing a live cup giveaway. The trophies are magnificent. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go check out probably three episodes ago where we had Mark on the founder of Best in Grass and he also used to throw the High Times Cut magazines championships or competitions where everybody call it and mar did a phenomenal work there, so I'm pretty pumped on what he's doing here.
So we're gonna kick it off again, like I said, with the cap Junkie the roma rate of the product, so it's they do stars here. So I'm gonna kick it off with smell before I guess I go into look and then what I'll do is I'll average what me and Groovy say and that's usually how we go with it on the Yeah, I mean that's and that's I mean, that's we do it a little different when we do ours, obviously, because it's ours. We do ours individually and we just agree
on it depending on what we thought. You know, rightly, I guess I'll actually you know what, I was waiting until I had everything figured out. But I am just gonna show you all how I'm doing this behind the scenes because there's a little bit more because you have to go this the app, not just the website, the dot app yep, right, so that's right now I'm there, So now I'm going through it, so keep going.
I'm just now explaining to what I'm doing because it's it's a little different on the software I'm using how to type, I'd probably give about seven eight on the look, probably eight. You know, you'd like, you're not gonna see much. Don't think you're gonna see much purple in the cap Junkie. I don't think there's purp in it. So with this, it's pretty frosty. I like seeing that. I like to see frost on expouncy frost.
I know there's no tray combs on it. We're in sorry, and then in my opinion, if there's no try combs, I want it. So this is cool. Yeah, so we're behind it judging Michigan Town twenty four. You can see all the individual yeah junkies the last one. If you want to go to that animal tree, it just kind of breaks down each one by each company. This is neat No, No, I'm actually kind of reiterating. I know, but I'm kind of looking at it for my first time. So Cap Junkie at the bottom, Cap Junkie, you
see junk even no cap junky pi uplifted. Okay, and already we've already made notes on So this one I'm gonna do live for us. So you know, you don't have to do it. I guess because I'm because my internet keeps going out. And the best part is, well that's the butt I wants you to take a look at from baseball. Oh oh oh, I got you. I was like, oh, I can't enter anything. I was like, I got you, I got you. Go. Well, yeah, I mean it's bag of peal for sure. I mean it's
got a lot of try combs. But what we already did. Those were already made a sheet and we're just gonna data entry it all at once. That's how we do our visual feels nice though. I mean I would probably give it like an eight, like you know, because it's very eight to eight and a half maybe, so it's like solid so you said eight, so we'll just do eight then yeah, because there can't be half and the
hardest we could do. Yeah, And I'm just showing love because like it just it's got that nice like multi colored look where I like when it's like yellow and then like a little or green in like with a little din of this or a little purple little this. But I like that when it's like that light green corn. It comes back from just probably those reg days. You know, what do you think of the smell on it. The smell, yeah, the smell is the smell better when it popped in the bag.
Now you just got it out of the bag. It's not as potent, but it's a little to me, it's got a little berry. Uh see, that's what I'm wondering, because I'm getting more earthiness like that, and I might just because of the weed. I don't know if the berries for my drink. I'm pretty sure I was smelling some type of berry in it. I may see if I can get some bag smelling. Hey,
maybe a little berry. I'm still getting like some mercy like earthiness. Yeah, no, for sure, but there's like a hint of berry in it. It's easier to smell in here, though. I wouldn't say it's so potent. You can just smell that shit though. So it's like that, I would say maybe like a seven six or seven six. I'd give it a seven six and a half seven. So I mean, I guess, well, WEI said, well, I guess we'll just round up to be nice here. Yeah, six seven, that's fine. Rate the products.
It's hard for me to read, could you it's smaller on my screen? Next one I pull up the wrong one. That's funny, right, next one is right the products taste, and then it's select the flavors and aromas you notice the most, So we could do you kind of do the aromas that we noticed. I'd probably if I had a guess with what they have here, I would have to go pine with the earthy I don't see,
and sweet would be what I would go with. I'm curious on I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna do this, Okay, Well, because to me, it's hard to see what each word says. So it's like you're more gonna have to read which number it is, like is it one through whatever, like relax being one and dizzy being the last. Right, does that make sense? It's just hard for me to see each word. Yeah, I'll because to me, if I was to say which ones it was for me, it would be like, it's like, oh, flavors and
aroma. So we should actually smoke at first, probably before we answered that one. Well, the aroma to me was flavors end, so I don't. Let's see what's your experience with okay, Yeah, so we'll just rank the rest after. So that's kind of cool. That's good to know. So you get through the first few three, then you have to actually roll it up smoke it. So it's just like advice for people who are going to do it themselves for the four or five. If you six seven,
you can answer as you're smoking. Yeah, if you don't have the app, or if you're judging and you don't have you don't want to open the app, do what we did. We literally just did a little quick notes on it on a spreadsheet and then you literally just copy paste it, drop it in. You'll remember pretty much at all. And that's what we did for most of them already, and now we're data entry and putting all these in. We saw had a couple left to finish, so you guys are
actually seeing some behind you. We just wanted to do how you do it live. You know. Day has been doing a lot of the entries as we do them, so it's been nice. Yeah, seam work makes the dream work. Man. Thanks man. Well, I've been dealing with stuff. If you follow me on Instagram, I'm not going to talk about it right now, but if you follow me, you understand I've been dealing with
stuff. So Day has been holding the four. Now got so yeah, but it's honestly, like you know, that's one thing I want to say with Dave, like, regardless of who came up with this, it feels just like ours. So it's like it's it's a okay am I book. No, honestly it is. It's literally when I started doing reviews back in like eighteen, I think when I started like just trying to get into cannabis as talking about it after the raid and all that shit, and that this
is somehow similar. If you go to like Canada dot com, I even have something that's similar to this. So I love seeing this because I think this hits like every category for this specific batch of flour or for any flower in general. Curious how the rosin is. I bet it's similar, right, I would like to know the vape so then we could take some of it. I have to look at talk to you Mark, so we can
take that to incorporate that into ours as well. Well. And then the only thing I was about to say that that was a little different is that these two are just merging too. Where we do flavor roma, this is just merging too, which again it makes sense because turpenes are experienced like by both, you know, by smell and taste. So I get the difference, you know, I just we break it down the different for math and just because of how the rating works. But I I'm just you know,
analyzing this as we do it as well. Sweet peppery getting like pepper on it. Yeah, I definitely get pepper, which again it's weird for cap Junkie because KP JUNKI is usually when I dab, it is a little sweeter. Usually it's like Verry sweet. Right. The products taste, uh excuse me, oh products taste. Sorry we didn't answer number three. Geez, I thought we did already, so rake the products taste six seven off of the first couple of rips. Yeah, I don't know if I really like
love the tastes all right, it's not like horrible. I'm like, oh I put it out it's garbage, but it's like it's just not like what I was expecting with cap junk Kid. Guess so different finos, you know, Yeah, definitely. Uplifted had some good stuff in the past though too. The ash is nice on it. I do like to say that it's not too dark and it's actually pulling through. It's like good thing when I see that, So yeah, I'd give it six on the taste, six
or seven on the taste. Uh, the the flavors and aromas the first one to be sweet, I would go then probably pine, which is number four? You said, sorry, which number was the first one sweet? Really? I don't mean maybe? Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm saying aroma was four. You said, okay, one is one is sweet? And forest pine? Okay, I got pine. Yeah, I get you. On the pine, little earth is the earthiness. There is no earthy or like like nook. Flowery is like the closest thing Wednesday, flowery, maydy,
peppery, litrus, Diesel, probably go peppery to the pine. That's number five, and my internet keeps going out. I love it. I don't know if diesel. Maybe diesel too, because it has got a little bit of like gasliness to it. I see that that's very under sweet. Okay, so diesel and what was the other way to say peppery? And that's I think that's pretty good. What's the next rate your experience with the potency and effects of this product? Hop and see? Oh what just happened?
No, that's so funny, But I think we just got booted offline for a second, so it was on so just to go over real quick. It was eight seven six, and then it was one three four and then diesel cool all right back caught up. It was just it must make said, my internet might be in and cutting in and out. So anyways, honestly, it's not bad smoke. And it's got a little hash. No, that's got a nice little buzz, nice balanced buzz. No, I don't knock the buzz. I'm not gonna knock the buzz. I just
was not a particularly a huge fan of the taste. Yeah, the effects is not bad. It's a nice little body buzz for sure. And I'm feel a little bit in my head. I'd give it probably like a seven on the potency effects seven and a half. I'd probably, yeah, probably realistically seven and a half because it's it's Deesel. It's not like not hitting around it around that boy up to eight. It will do you want to
eat? Okay, Well we're rounding up, we're rounding up here. I'm feeling feeling nice right now, nice feeling for both of us, right, that's how you feel after testing the product. So like right now as we're smoking it I'm feeling relaxed, which is the first one a rouse nice. I like it. I didn't realize that was one nice. There are are strains that do that that are actually good for like secks. No, I understand. No, yeah, I guess relaxed is probably the most what I'm
feeling. You know, I don't think it's up enough to feel creative or focused or definitely rouse. Nothing's up, you know what I'm saying. I mean, you can go calm too. I'm pretty calm. I'm not a calm from the first one uh second, one second? Row, oh man, I keep cutting the Internet keeps cutting out. It's hard to get doing live. But we're gonna keep just trying, we say. And that's what's nice about it. If you lose your place, it's really not like stressful
to redo. So that's actually kind of nice to demonstrate that. It's like, it's not really too much now. And then we get to submitted, and then you'll get to go back and you can go back and forth. Rate your overall experience with this product. I'd probably give it a solid eight overall. Smell was there. It looked decent. I mean, it looked decent. Smell popped when you opened the back first, but when he took the nugs out, he kind of lost the smell. Taste was all right,
but it smoked all the way down. Had to like oil line good ash. I mean, I know they're not looking for that, but those are two things we look for. So to me that it was a little dry and like like, I didn't like taste as much. So I'm thinking it's probably closer to like a seven for me because I at least liked the
high. I definitely feel like at least I got stone. I don't feel like I was if I got a decent deal in that, i'd be like, well, it wasn't the best, but I didn't get ripped off because at least I got high, right, because sometimes I hate shit when it's like so weak and then it's dry and it taste because it wasn't that horrible. Just to me, it wasn't the most tasty stuff, but I got a little buzz, so I'm not gonna complain. So i'd say seven.
You want to say eight, will round up because you said you're feeling loving now I can't exit. I recommend a product to a friend. I would try Uplifted again because I've liked their rosin and I've tried Flower Theres that was decent. Their donuts are decent. I've had some flower There's, but exactly through donuts. And so for me, I'm like a little like I guess I was a little like shock. I just wasn't a big fan of this cap junkie. So they did think we're gonna recommend this product, but I
still would recommend Uplifted. I'm not taking away from That's why I give them an eight, just not the specific one. But they haven't so it's eight nine. And then whatever that big one said, yeah, okay, I
can't sell, and then I can't. Well we're never just gonna hit submit before my internet cuts out, perfect, and then that's it hit submit and then it looks then it look you go all the way to the bottom and now it says ones complete it. That's cool because you could really just enter these, you know, rather like you know, it was so close stars like Dave said, I think we just decided, you know, we were just like a screw. It was eight day to enter it in. Yeah,
you know it's it's it made little side comments. It was super easy but like, but you can do it. That was cool if you wanted. We're gonna do another one here in a little bit, but we're gonna get into the next topic again. That one we might just smoke and they make note of it because that was a lot because it kept canceling in. I'll try it. Yeah, yeah, but I thought it was fun to
do a live demo. Yeah no, no, definitely definitely. So yeah, so you know, talk to light lighting things up, I mean yeah, back from Europe. Yeah, dude, that was kind of Ireland there is. You know, first, I know I don't look Irish. We know we don't look Irish. I know, trust me, I've heard,
but I actually am. Surprisingly it's the second biggest ethnicity for me. So it's like Sicilian, Italian, uh, you know, allegedly, but my mom is Irish, mostly Irish, like seventy five eighty ninety Irish and then a little German in there, right, so I'll mostly just Italian Irish, that's it, right, Love the Irish background. They're fun, their party, they like, they drive good. They drive crazy, by the way, man, not like drive wild just because the roads are so small,
man, some of these farm roads. Man, I always felt like I was driving on like a one lane road, like and you're literally two cars like in one lane, not like not like. And the thing is they didn't have like the sides like how we have like a couple of feet of like shoulder where people can walk. No, no, no, none of that shit. It was just like road end. You got like a couple inches of street and then it just ends, so you had to like make sure you drove right. I don't even I loved it though, I just
wanted to talk about it. I love Ireland, loved it so much. Dis some amazing things, beautiful on the most beautiful places I've ever been in my life. Climbing was great, Hiking was great. But the weed bro
one CBD store I saw the entire time. That's it. And then like I saw like head shops and then like even then you kind of had to look for the ones that like had like wax in them, and I found one that was like four to twenty stop and I was like, oh, hell yeah, so you know they got like some HC or GCA or CCO you know all these other like byproducts of campin ones. I was like, oh sick, you know, no, no, well they had AHHC, so I was super pumped. But first off, thirty euro so you're talking
like thirty five bucks. I'm like, it's kind of pricey. Like for me, I was like, I'm cool with just like drinking gettis and shitting, like taking a break. I smoke a lot, you know. I was like, you know, for that price. But I was like, I'll get a cart fuck it, you know, I'll buy it. Forty year old, I'll do it. Dude didn't have bens, and then he started being a douche. He was like, yeah, no pens, buy it or leave or buy it or sorry or something like that. Really chotchy.
I'm like, who fuck this guy? Right, And like I'm in Dublin, right, So like that's what I realized. Dublin's definitely more city ish when you get to the rest of the island into the country, beautiful people, beautiful city, beautiful, but like Dublin is still a city, you know what I mean, you still get kind of assholes. And then I was like, well, fuck this guy. I don't want to support him in any way because I was like, well, I could buy this
AHAC then go find a battery. The next day, and I could have hunted one down. But after that guy is like attitude. I was like, fuck this guy. So I even took a little mini video because I was excited to shout him out, thinking he'd be nice. Before I walked in douchebag, I was like, delete video book. This guy like no shout out ever, he gets no love except for this. Yeah, but it's not really love. So if you're in Doublin and you go to a
place called four twenty smoke, he's not gonna be nice. Avoid at least he was rude to me. Maybe it'll be nicer to you, hopefully. I don't know what I mean. You didn't really get You got a little bit of that. You did get a little bit of that, but not
too much. Yeah. What I just thought was like, you're gonna go to Europe and they were just gonna be like the super kind of people because they talk so bad about America or you know, allegedly and jokes through movies and like, you know, I said, I've never been to Europe, so I don't have a judgment on Europeans till now. Same, you know, someone was rude to my mom, Like the second we got to the Dublin Airport, like you know, I mean it's just like normal people,
like you know, No, there's no difference. So like I just want to say, like American, European, just where you're born doesn't make difference, like you get your there, dick or you're not a dick, like I don't know. By the way, no awesome time. But I did
was able to smoke a little weed. Granted I don't think it was the best weed, but it was hard to taste because exactly it's a fucking spliff man, And obviously you know spliffs because you've been to Europe and like you said, you did smoke when you're in Poland right allegedly, yeah, yeah yeah, but again a lot of weed. Actually that was really that's crazy because I literally saw my mom smelled it. Bro that was my one request, and we went out there and then my ex at the time was able
to get it through her cousins through because she had family. Like see, we had distant family, so like you know, we ended up running into someone that knew my mom's cousin who passed away. So that was like cool, right, but like no one like knowing we knew, right, So like there was no plug. I mean, there was no plug for it was like how it was though for you though if I didn't know them, I wouldn't have got any and plus back then and pulling, I think it
was like, was that like me, I didn't know anyone. I literally ran into something. No, I know, right. If I didn't run, if I was just there just on my own, I probably wouldn't have found any Everyone was so nervous about we smoked. They didn't want to be by me. If I went to a party and I've told you, I inhaled a fucking what do you call that? Gravity bog and they all called me like dragon breath or something because I inhaled the whole thing and exhaled it
all because the used to repressed, yeah, and completely shocked. So like the weed is completely different than the shocks because I figured hash would be around, But it's probably about who you know. The wet is different one,
the weis is different. It's just harder to get it's harder to get out there Nowaday He was like, you're stepping back to when we first got into it, which again probably to everyone else listening to this podcast, they would be like, yeah, you mean the nineties or the two thous like you
know what I mean, like are they eighties? Like the thing is because that's what I felt like, like because like you said, my mom smelt it, and I don't know how she's melted because I could only smell the tobacco, so she must have just smelt the right hit right, Thank you universe, because I ended up like throwing up a red flag or a white flag, white flag, and because my shirt, my hoodie having to say tac shadow fatties for that sweet hoodie I won. But and it's a tat
they're like so I walked over. They were like twenties, like they were younger cats. But like I was like, can I hit that? Like I'm from America and it's been a long day, and mind you, this was my first day after driving like to go away and like across the island and bro like it's probably six hours in the car, you know, and you're on a different side of the road, but you know it's all new. Man, it's overwhelming. You know, you're like their sheep in the
road sometimes like don't don't kill them. So it's just like a different world over there, man, totally different you know, no billboards like I told you, Oh my god, no fucking annoying billboards. Nice you know, you don't got to stare at one dude's face over and over and over. It's like fuck or like it's like chill, you know where people buy up every billboard they can. Anyways, it was just beautiful over there. Whatever
the weed sucks. Thank you to the dudes let me the spliff. They even were more than kind of after I hit it, like we hit it one rotation. They let me hit a couple of times. I'm like, no, I got to go because my my mom's right over there with my sister, and they're not pot it. They don't smoke weed, you know what I mean, So they don't care. So they're just they're like waiting for me to keep walking. I'm like, all right, guys, I
gotta go. I'm like, you sure you want to keep hit it because they like new like you're in a different country, like you ain't go find one man. Yeah right, I can tell you a little. I was like, all right, so but that was really sweet, So shout out random dude didn't get their name though, because I feel like they in the second I was like gonna turn around and say thanks. They were already blining
the other way. They were nervous too, man. I watched them for a little bit, like when I turned around and they were like they're like looking around there on their side by the bridge, and then walked to the other side. I'm like, it's like this a little night bridge. So I was like, wow. I was like, I haven't been that paranoid since I started smoking weed, you know, and like I get it.
That was like a whole different world. And the way they say that, like they were talking about it was no, it's like super illegal here, like they will what they say. They didn't say fuck you. It's some turn of phrase that I wasn't used to. I don't know if it was like pinu or they'll just still screw you essentially, like you know. So yeah, the GARDA was the police g A r D eight avoid them. So yeah, man, So that was my experience with the butt over there.
There really wasn't a lot, but the spliff was unique and just like seeing how it like felt like going back thirty years from Michigan, you know what I mean, from where we're at. So it was it was wild, a little bit Yeah, that's crazy, maybe twenty whatever, but still wild mission a little blessed. Uh. There was one article I want to talk about, heh, yeah, which I didn't make an overlay for it, so you're not getting overlays. I guess it's not that big of an
article. So yeah, but it was another recall. Oh yeah, just on some infused marijuana pre ros. They were infused, right, Yeah,
that's what I thought. I couldn't recall. The recall was issued because Flavor Galaxy allegedly has hadn't submitted the final products for testing, and choosing instead to test the raw flower before Disola and or terpens were added to According to the release, what's funny is this was infuse burials were sold that twenty retailers between November twenty fifth, twenty twenty three and May sixth, twenty twenty four,
so a little further back if you're getting them from november's a little bit older. Yeah, I mean, but the thing is, what's bummer about finding it so late is like thinking about hown people inhaled them. Act they didn't make too many they made they are they only recalled one thousand and ninety eight, so about eleven hundred. You know, we say only because of the last recall, you know what I mean, it's still like shitty, Like
if it's like ten people that got well. And the thing is, you know, if we got lucky in all a thousand those plus people were you know, people with like ailments or people without excuse me, people without ailments, people just trying to get high and have a good time. Sure, we all good, but if there are people with like ailiments and medical issues like that, well, fus, you know what I'm saying. So that's like I don't know, that's why that shit's supposed that's what the legal market
was supposed to get rid of. And my grant. Mistakes are made, but you know it's not as big as the other one, like you said, but you're not seeing them as all start, you're not seeing them as often. But it's good that were not because your your points are really valid there like you want. It's almost like, especially medical, you shouldn't see these mistakes, like they should be double checking, like you have a fucking
job. Well that's what I'm saying, but even then it should be like, hey, make sure there's a person monitoring and making sure these aren't test results, like, oh shit, I'm backed up three weeks. Then maybe we slow out recall our products, you know, maybe you forced dispos to have to actually sell some more ship besides just what's selling, you know, and then give spread the money a little bit better, you know, because if they slow down the rates, I know. But that's what I'm saying.
It's it's because of this rush to do everything. Everyone will rush to fucking do everything for what for what? What do you? What are you in the rush to? Don't know? So it's just it's just sad, I guess. So shit happens, Yeah, there's not as many, that's
all it matters. No, No, I'm going down and rant. I'm just like basically like how I feel like, you know, you just cycle through things and then no one really looks and double checks and cares because they're trying to push money through, and then all of a sudden, all whoops, be fucked up. Now everyone's gonna get sick. And alway, you shouldn't in heale that, which again, if you've been doing it since black market days, like we've inhaled some ship. But like, at the end
of the day, that's what this was supposed to get rid of. So it's like kind of not cool. That's all I'm saying. No, that's fact. But anyways, this next little video, uh is kind of just some people to talk about reclassification. I figured I was going to take a dad real quick, so I'm gonna rip pull this article out before we get in. Just want to shout out old scorchanics, our shout out to our partners and good friends over there. Great retro products out now, flower stuff,
you got g G four, you got God. I'm blanking on all the fucking retros right now because I'm just getting back to like, no, you got aj Diesel, you got Hawaiian Diesel, you got Zebra Piss, which isn't a retro, and you have other retros every coming down the line. He did have some what was that purple one that we tried. Oh man, I'm blanking on the purple I know, Grand Daddy Purse se So that's what I'm saying. We're getting back to it, so shout out to
our fans. And then this is a little neat article, like I said, just getting some people's perspective in the in the industry about reclassification and stuff. Because I don't know about Dave, but I'm pretty well I do know about Dave. We're both have mixed feelings. It's mixed feelings like it's step in the right direction, but it's like we're still like hesitant. So let's see this and then we'll we'll go from there. Yeah, reclassify marijuana as
a less dangerous drug. That's a move that could help marijuana businesses in the state of Michigan. Tonight in newstan Capitol correspondent Zachariah wait and talk to a Michigan State University researcher who says the change will also benefit research on the drug. In a historic shift, the US Justice Department is proposing to reclassify marijuana from a Schedule one drug alongside heroin, and move it to a Schedule three,
aligning it with drugs like anabolic steroids. Now, while this move will have an impact on conducting research and will also help businesses, President Biden, in his announcement, focused on how this change would help keep people out of jail for possession. No one should be in jail merely for using or possessing marijuana, period. Far too many lives have been upended because of failed approach to marijuana. He said the change could reduce the tax burden for marijuana businesses
by seventy percent. In a statement, the Michigan Cannabis Industry Association applauded the change, saying it would remove significant tax burdens and make cannabis more profitable. The group says the reform is urgently needed as Michigan's cannabis market is faced with oversaturation and price constriction. A researcher at Michigan State University says they will finally
have answers to people's questions about the drug. I strongly believe there are medical uses for cannabis, but then we need to know what's the least harmful way of using it, and what's the most beneficial way, and who are the patients who are going to be benefited from using cannabis. MSU professor Omaima al Sharawi researches the impacts cannabis has on your heart and body weight, and also
studies how using cannabis could impact reproduction. She said researchers are currently behind on studies learning about the impacts of the different uses and forms of the drug, but says this change is a step in the right direction. We have lots of restrictions on conducting marijuana research or cannabis research as a scuting one one drug right now. So as a researcher, I'm really excited and I'm also really
excited for the future of cannabis research now. While marijuana businesses and researchers will obviously benefit from the reclassification, there has been some concerns that the move could increase abuse of the drug, especially among younger people and those who are pregnant. It's got a regulators begin what could be a lengthy review process of the proposed change. I'm Zach Right Wheaton, reporting for TV six News Lancing.
Marijuana is big business in Michigan. Last year, the state's cannabis industry had more than three billion dollars in sales. Cities and towns that allow recreational marijuana sales also split eighty seven million dollars in sales taxes. Beautiful, you know, you keep it really safely and efficiently by becoming a gold Star Service Premier
Plan member. Well, you know, I just like training because they had some perspectives that were from you know, industry people that we don't necessarily talk to like doctors and researchers and risk medical people who not necessarily users, but people who are almost curious about the right. Yeah. And you could hear that with the one doctor from Michigan State, right, right, right, And I think that's gonna be cool. Now when this does happen because she
brought up the foul, we'll do some research. I think we're gonna find so many new cameras. But that is the one afraid thing of this, right is the research. And in long I don't know exactly how it's all gonna work, but when it switches to having safe banking and they can write things off a little bit, because I think that's what's gonna be Also included
is they're gonna be reclassify a businesses exactly. But that's huge because then when people start seeing revenue like in money coming in like that way, people are gonna be like, oh shit, like you know, that'll help those people, you know, nudge our direction. Plus you'll see other people come in the right direction because of it's gonna get it say. It makes those businesses actually be on fair ground with every other business here in America. I think
the big thing though with it is the research that's gonna be done. I just think that's gonna be phenomenal. Like, I just worry, what do we can be able to figure out? What else are we can be able to find when we're actually putting tons of money into research, not like what it's been here. We have like one college in the whole United States. It's like it's federal research money. Like it is gonna be so much research
done on the cannabis plant. Imagine if they start doing strained specific uh testing, what if Like, well, we'll definitely get there right now. I feel like testing is gonna focus on like proving all the shit that's been a lie. That's it, Like there's medical benefits, which we know. I'm just curious what testing they are going to do because you're gonna be you doing full plan extraction because that's different. Are they gonna do rso? Are they
just gonna have flower? Like there's so many things that they're gonna have to do because all of it is gonna be all of it's different, all of its therapeutic in different ways depending on said product you're doing, you know what I'm saying, Like dabs it's a it's a higher thc less of a less matter you're using compared to a flower, to a joint, or compared to a vape. Right, So I'm curious when they're doing the testing. I
want to read some of these test result because it's gonna be interesting. And I bet you they find some new cannabinoids, like I said, and we'll be able to pinpoint stuff that these cert cannabinoids can biled effects, maybe down the line with some diseases that we have, maybe all timers, maybe cancer, Maybe we'll find something that's like, Okay, if it's heavy in this, this and this attacks these cells. You know what I'm saying, No, I get it, no, because and I think the thing is no,
no, no, no, no, You're you're dead. I didn't. I meant I was cutting you off a little bit, but only because I wanted to say that a lot of what you're talking about is down the line. A lot of it is down the line. I think right now it's just simply the basics. And I think you're right to and hope and talk about that now because that type of research is what needs to be done
to further the rights of the people. And just honestly, the stigma really more about killing the stigma where right now, like that's the unfortunate thing is like you even heard that that dude was like or not that dude in the beginning, how much money can it make? How much revenue can't make me?
So there are obviously folks on the money and it's like, Okay, that's fine, Like that's what it's gonna take to get some of these big politicians and people who don't smoke weed like fine and for in front, Oh no, but I was just staying like big butt like at the end of the day, like that's cool at first, but at the end of the day, it's like we still want the right of the plant because if we rush to like how much money's making, how much money you could make,
it's gonna rush towards legalization and exporting and importing to make profits. And I would love to see the country actually make money because like the problem is that's the only problem without the consumer nation, is that we want to take this cheap import like we all know the Alibaba trick and buying cheap shit and reselling it because it's easy money. Like sure, but we're just selling shit products to make middleman and it's like, I know, that's like cool, but
like and it's not really doing any benefits for like the actual economy. You're just personally gaining money. It's not doing anything actually economy. But where its actually became like an export, it'd be really neat to see cannabis become an export here. Yeah, it probably will, you know, because we're so far ahead and we have so much different our our culture. We can do it year round, depending on what state you're in. That's why when it's
federally like decriminalized, like who knows what can happen? You know, Yeah, this is just the first step. That's when I'm talking future testing that this has to happen to even gets away talking about. But they're good to do testing no matter what, right off the rip because they've got to test at the sea. Now they're gonna see the actual benefits of cannabis and compare it to other medicines that it's on the scheduleclor list. I do think it
could have went lower. I mean, dude, the drug that most I most for a lack of better words, fear is below this. So it doesn't make sense to me. Even like Puffco I believe was the one. Yeah, Puffco made a sick, funny video of like cannabis basically moving from Schedule one room to Schedule three jail and it's just like a bunch of other
drugs that it doesn't belong with. And it's like, you know, and that's why we're saying this has to be like and I don't know if you listen to the streams or past podcast, but good, good information came to us at BISCON this year. That was the reason why you need to reschedule is because we need a year of federal research to get be decriminalized and or legalization whatever. So we need it to be here so they even do the research because the state level shit don't count. The DA is like no,
we're doing our own shit. Federal level DA like fuck everybody or the DA like cool, all right, you're tough, uh, but like don't take them all this medical research. Like I'm not saying, don't listen to fucking groovy like fuck me, you know, fuck me, I don't fuck fuck
you, but listen to these fucking doctors and stuff. You know what I'm saying, like you know, DA, you know, because these people still do research, like but again because of this protocol, you know, the bullshit that we have to deal with in life, because I know everyone's got their own, whether it's corporate protocol or restaurant protocol. Sometimes protocol just slow shit down, like, but sometimes it's for good. So I have to
remind myself. Sometimes it's a reasons like there isn't to get things worth it right. I know, sometimes I'm impatient when it's like, you know, it's still not right. It's just in the right directions. So anyways, that's my that's what they got. It's what they got. What we're probably used to. We're used to the government doing stuff that we don't like. But you know, I just I'm sick of seeing everyone folks on there. Everyone's like, oh, it's good for the nation if I make money.
No, it's not. It's good if like if it's decriminalized and people in the rights and like people get rights for it, and the people out of jail. People should be out of jail. That people are people who are making so much money, and you have people in jail for possession and stuff charges, even if it's like a second offense or whatever. Be out of jail. You're making shit. A ton of tax money. We just heard that article that the guys that there's eighty seven million dollars in tax money in
Michigan that got split up between counties. Eighty seven million. How many jobs that is? How many roads you can fix? That much school stuff you can do? Yeah? Really, but computers for the students. Like, there's so much stuff you can do with all the money that's coming in from cannabis. And I just love seeing it. You know, it's going to continue, even though I think there was a little bit of a decline in
April in the Michigan numbers I saw. I think so the thing is because we're kind of choke hold it with on all these businesses being screwed and all this stuff, but all these other things need to come in line for it to be a business. It hasn't even reached a not a real business. It hasn't reached like a like what we consider like a normal business in America that can write things off and have employees. Do you think, so you're
not where it's not. It's still got these unjust rules against the cannabis industry. So it's like, once we get to a real industry, then the numbers will go back up. Like, I think we'll see a jump again, whether it's with g gram or right now with the rescheduled stuff, We're gonna start seeing jumps because if these companies have learned to survive without writing shit off once they can, you don't think they're gonna pass that on to us
a little bit. Yeah, you're gonna get a little discounts a little bit. Instead of just Fridays, it might be Tuesday and Friday and Saturday, you know what I mean, bro, Like it's gonna people when they're people are happy and doing well, they pass it along. Only when people get stingy, Like when do you get stingy when I'm feeling broken shit? Like right now, but like you know, and it comes in waves with life with real shit. Yeah, I mean, it's life. I'm I'm curious
what happens. There's a sixty day open period where you can write your comments to in it right now. Yeah, it just started like like a day or two ago, honestly, and I think it goes till July, mid July or something like that. So get the comments and we should actually post the link maybe when we will try to find it. Yeah, we'll have to make a we'll make a post. I'll take two seconds, so you just do that and then give him your regards on what you what you want
to see, what you don't, you don't like. It's pretty much open. This is it's I mean, it's kind of history. It's been scheduled three since they made it schedule three what years ago, and it's been illegal since the thirties when they made it illegal in thirty seven, I think, And it's taking this long to getze where we're at. Obviously, Schedule three came way later down the line because that was on the War on Drugs, I believe when it came out. Don't quote me on that. But besides
that point, it's progress. Progress is progress. Hopefully in time it goes to d crim because that's truly what me and him want. I'm just saying it's progress because I mean, it's not scheduled three with heroin. Because it's like progress because it can go in the right direction. But we're all nervous right now because it can still be teeter tottered and not necessarily the wrong direction, but a misdirection because still it's like, hey, it's like right here,
if this is the goal and there's two paths to get there. One's kind of more of a crooked path, we'll call it. And that's what I'm saying. I'm just nervous. It gets off the the d crim path and goes to the how much money can we make as fast possible government government. None of the people in the government have even smoked cannabis like and if they have generally generally and they did in college and they didn't feel right or some some crap like that, most of them have not. They're probably is
definitely the same real smokers. Yeah, they're not. They're making the rules and regulations. That's why if you really have true stuff you want to say, I mean, write it in because like they're gonna make they're they're the ones choosing it. We didn't get to choose schedule cardity to do it. The d The DEA is the one that reclassified it. The Human Health Services I believe, the one who recommended it to Biden, and then Biden said, oh, let's see what the well he would have to have the DEA
prove it or something. And when that happened, that's when the DA just proved it. Recently, it took over a year now that's when it's going here. So it's like, if you want to have a voice, you should, you should message because we don't know what they're gonna do. They could, they can change it, do whatever they want. They've been trying to pass the Safe Banking Bill for how many how many years of me and
Groovery been talking about it. They can't even they can't even stuff it in like a package that we're giving billions of dollars Ukraine and stuff like that. Many times. Remember I was excited the first like one to five times, and after that I was like, well, I guess what is the news again? Yeah? I know exactly because they're doing the defense built no, pull out the defense bill, pull it out of this bill, pull it out of that bill. And this now this gets us too. So it's
under wrap. We'll be talking about it. Actually, we'll be talking about it. We talked about our waken Bake. If you're not in on our waken Bake nine am Eastern Saturdays, every Saturday, wake Up, Bake Up with Me and Groovy talk with the can of Fan. We got the whole community in the chat, talking about products, talking about events, talking about what's going on in your lives, like if you want to ask us anything, that's where to go or you get to let's get to know each other.
Man. But yeah, let's jump into our next review here groove, because I think that was all the articles we have and I wanted to get a little bit higher. Okay, yeah, I mean yeah, we're gonna do it like we're so yeah, Okai, this is it. This is the Cittrix Lost Cause. This is the lost Cause because we already smoked the seals. Fun about this though, is we're not reading off THHC and all this stuff. And we didn't do packaging. So that's one thing I realized
that it is different we factor in packaging. So we're gonna still just do it this without packaging and not considering. And I want to say we did smoke. Well, say though, hold on real quick before you say that the cop we did smoke Kai Citrix the other one, and that got like an A eighty on it. Overall, it was a solid smoke overall, and it was less than the head more of a it was more of a heavy setya, but of fall in the head is more upper but not fully
remember that's what we wrote down. So the thing I will say, just want to say about my look and smell because I already got it done, so this is pretty easy. It's not the prettiest looking stuff, but damn does it smell nice. And like I've actually been digging the Hays taste lately. I go through waves of liking and not liking it. To be straightforward, you, but it reminds you of that haze, Like I don't know if it's cleaner. I don't know, it's like super pine. I don't
know, Like you know, I call it haze. I don't know. It's what I call it. It's like the old site of a smell everyone used to call it when you got like Jack Ray or something. That's yeah, but that's that right, But it's I've been digging that. So for
me, it's like it smells great but doesn't look the best. So it's like, for look, i'd probably give it a seven, but smell, i'd probably give it like a eight and a half nine really because well just because like dude, I mean, especially coming out of the other stuff, Like, dude, I could smell that as soon as I opened it. That's interesting because that stuff smelled pretty good. Man. You don't think that smell pops. That smell popped for weed. Yeah, I mean it reminded
me. It's yeah a little bit. I mean it popped, but it wasn't like I guess, like I said, because we're going back to back. We're going back to back out of that and that one when seven or eight, So I'm like, I smell, I smell that. It always pops. That smell to me. Oh interesting, It's like I'm trying to word that like because anytime I smell, I get what you're saying. Hot. Well, no, I'm saying the smell. As soon as I opened the bag, I could I could actually smell it, so it was actually
a potent smell. That's what I'm saying. Like when you open that grinder, I bet you it's gonna be pretty dang. So really it reminds me of the smell. I don't know, it just reminds me of that's always I mean, I don't know, I guess I guess what it is. And we're coming out of that one, which that would like the smell, like you know, is a little different. It does pop more than the
gap junkie for sure. Well, I said, also when you're compared well you just come from two reviews, so so eight, I doesn't give it a seven, and then that was an appeal on the look. Honestly, I'd probably give it a seven. It wasn't okay, it doesn't really have anything that's it's more darker, darker green, not as frosty as the other one. Okay, it doesn't look the best, to be like, it looks all right, it looks fine, like it doesn't look like shitty weed.
But it doesn't look like there's no like try combs. You're not like damn right right, if anything like, I might be giving it decent look just because I like that it doesn't look super even, you know anymore. And round you know, I like that it looks like a real nug. You know, it's like no prgs whatever it's called pgr or whatever. Yeah, this this this smell always pops to me. Well, so, I
mean I liked it. So yeah, that's where I what do we have recently that had this Obviously it wasn't the review, but a couple of things, the memory loss stuff, just like this is it because we just smoked something recently that had this exact sment? No I tried amnesia Hayes lately that was like this. I don't know if that was with you or not. And then, like I said, I've been kind of not like back to some of the older school strainsmen. I used to really like super silver haze,
which wasn't super hazy, but it was in there. You know. I love lemon haze. Man great, like a lemon pine. Yeah that was good. Yeah, man, gas gas gas. Well, here we go, excited again, bust in grass competition. You can get your bags still. I think there's still a couple left. If I'm not mistaken, if I'm wrong, and if I am wrong, I apologize. But I saw I swear I saw someone actually the third category again, I forgot taste, and then its flavors and aromas, so we could go with the aromas.
Definitely got some pie in there, because I always tell myself that that reminds me of like a super pine, like it's so piny. It changes into a different smeuth because I don't know exactly the mix. I think it's like so of turps. I never figured out exactly what haze is. I should figure that out, sit down and see the similar between all this tasting ones. But turp analysisis's funny like I did, we're talking about terms.
I did secret agent, and then he like got ready like rocky, like none of that made sense, and then I jumped right in to the mission possible, and then you went pulled back to what I did. It's like we're killing well because my head went to I was to say it. They have that the new this is impossible, not new, I think in my last years on Paramount Plus. But they still have another one coming out. I used to like watching that serious. It's a little bit more like earthy
chemically, like in the taste. Chemically is one of the things so chemically so flowery? Would that be something? It's like it's not necessarily in a bad way though, it's almost like eighty five chemical. What flowery would have been pine? Would flowery be earthy? No? Sainty, sweeter or spice to it? I could see the pepper, your spice. Is that what you're about to say? Pepper? No pepper is good. But you said you're about to say I figured I was gonna say spicy. I was a
little spicy, A little spice. That's what sometimes I feel like that haze is it's like spice, peppery pine. You know is pine? You said pines. I just said it a million times, so hopefully I did. I did click it. I like the taste, man, I'm gonna go with probably an eight on it, you know, like nothing like it's not like well nine ten, Well, but it's not like you can actually taste it through the flower. So I enjoy that kind of opposite on you.
Man, you don't like it. I know it's a little bit harsher on my throat. Oh well again not as dry as recent So it's like, yeah, no, that's it's interesting. I'd go with I'd go with like a seven, seven and a half. Okay, let's go seven. It's fine, I'll hit him with an eight. No, I mean we went more on the cap for me, so I'm you know, we're leaning this way on that, and that's what happened. That's for you. For me, I don't care. You can go you can go harder, because either
way it's gonna pass. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is definitely more in the head for me, though it's not super body one. That's the thing about Hazes is like definitely for sure h Focused. I don't know if I feel focused. I feel a little bit more like whoa whoa energetic energized, Yeah, energetic. I don't know if I could focus though, like i'd be down to like play baseball. A fact, Yeah, I like it eight eight and a half. I see.
The fact is it is a heavier, it's hitting, so yeah, I'm with it eight eight, and I I don't know if i'd say nine, but it is hitting in the head, that'll go eight. Eight, Yeah, it's fine, fine rounded up before so eight it's fine. Yeah. Next, rate your overall experience with this product, overall, your overall rating essentially, i'd probably say about eight for me. Yeah, I go right
there with you. I think it's right around there. You're probably closer to seven a half seven, but like round it would be about a seventy seven, which i'd probably round up to about an eight, yeah, because to me, it's like I don't know if i'd say super high eights, but it's like it passed, so I always say above an eighty, right, So for me, it's definitely an eight to a nine area. So I don't know if I would say it's like the perfect flavoring stuff, but like
you know, it's decent. Like I said, don't feel ripped off at all. I got a nice head high. I feel reallytty titty, like real giggly, so I feel well. Listen, I have mill in a joking mood, and I've been wanting to make jokes a second. So for me, I actually this brought the This is why I said I've probably been craving hazes lately because it's bringing my head back. Guy. Yeah, I'm telling you, hazes are helping me right now, right through the times.
The times is right. So like again, I might be hate loving a little extra, but like, oh I like this man. Yeah, the notes I'm giving them is the smell pop as soon as you open the bag. Great head hog one. So we'll go back. We'll go back with the freezing. I got my hotspot on. We're showing you. Yeah,
and it's an enjoyable skinning A little harsher now though. That's why I'm saying with glad Rock, That's why I said probably low eights, but it passed like low eighties, but I would be like seventy seven right around there, which would go up to an eighties. Yeah. The ash wasn't Yeah, the ash wasn't as white with an oil line compared to the half junkies. So to you, it passed more on the flavor. Like to me, I'm like kind of probably like the old school heads of old hash heads who
just like, doesn't taste good? And did I get high? Because a lot of times that's my main shit. I'd like to break it down for us and analyze because it makes me curious because we've done so many of these, Like I like doing that, but just in real life, Like if I was to like blindfold test that I would pass that. I don't know if i'd pass the other one if it was blindfold test. Some makes sense, and we were going with an eight for recommend to a product to a
friend. Correct, Oh, yeah, for sure, I would this one, even this one. I would, Yeah, if you like the haze all day, this is this. Well, sometimes I feel like people who smoke a lot, sometimes we'll get the body buzz and get comfortable with it. So when they're like I want to get liddy litt, they got to smoke someone for the head, not for the body, because then sometimes you'll smoke out fat, don't I be like you guys want to hit one more?
Dad? Like, no, you gotta hit something that's gonna hit you in the fucking face, you know, like I cause I am that person. I love my body, bull. That's where I regularly like to live, just that relaxing feeling. Sometimes I'm super anxious and super tight, so that just relaxes me, that feeling of like chillness. But then like when I'm like trying to get liddy titty or like laugh with my friend or apparently I'm using the word liddy titty a lot if we like, if I want
to do that, it's all about the heat high. So that's why I said this would be a fun high. Like if you and me were like to want to get like real lit, this would be fun. It's like you're bangering, man, I mean you're bangering. It's better and better is my opinion. But but but it's similar also like not the most pretty bubb man is it smoking? Does it fucking hit? No? I know, honestly, I tell you all the time, man, it's not a pretty bud. It's it's to me. I don't care. That's the man like
whatever, No it is, Honestly, I don't care. Man, I'm trying to get high, bro, I'm not trying to pictures and shit gets you high. Look at the difference, you know, a little bit different between the two right now. I think a bag appeal is almost like that flex. It's like if you get taste dialed in, you get your crop dialed in, you got your you know your money coming in, you got your branding, all that other ship, and then you're also like, yeah,
sh it's pretty too bro like. I almost feel like it's a flex like it to me, it doesn't necessarily make me change the difference, like it bums me out when you can't smell at a dispo. I just don't want brown bud. But other than that, yeah, well I just trust my nose, right, yes, But like you say, like the I'm saying bag appeal, sim it's a little different, a little harder to judge
it on. That's awesome with it because good bud can be not as the great looking, and then really good looking bud could not be good tasting, and I've had that happen countless of numerous times. So it's just like toss up. But that is another review by us from Best Best Grass Bag, and well, yes we are wrapping up again. Uh, tune into our to our episode and everything. Watch me you got you know, I was on the screen so they couldn't see me, but you were just seeing reactions.
You saw my mic I know this guy's I was like, all right on that, let's just wrap it up. Well, no, I'm just getting situated to end things because to me, it's not like just end I'm done, Like I gotta like do a little process. So I was doing that.
