Transcript

Yo, what's going on? Everybody? Welcome to a new episode of My Cannacast. I'm candidate and I'm groovy. Today's episode, we're gonna be getting into the new proposed changes by the cra We got another High Times Cannabis couple review for you. We got some news coming out of Minnesota. Another person was killed in Signal cannabis, and just more news around the world. So

no special guests this week. We will have a special guest next episode, and that is mad Man Plant. Yeah, so stay tuned in next week's episode. But we're gonna kick it off with the review like we normally do. UM tell us what we're reviewing here today, Groovy, we are reviewing Crude Boys. A black widow so excited to try this. Um So, I will admit I've had some Crude Voice stuff before where I was like, um, not the biggest fan. It's you know, I just it got

me like but I remember it got me a nice buzz. But I just remember not liking the flavor like it was okay, Like I just remember taking very like hey, it's like generic waxy, And ever since then, I just stopped buying it. Um I had but recently I did buy some of their flower. That wasn't a translate. It was just like a cannon and it actually was pretty good. It was like thundercasts or something. It was Alaskan thunder fucks cross with something of him. Pretty good throw back on the

Alaska thunder. Yeah, but this is a black widow. So a black widow is infused with THHCA and live resent coded in premium distillate, rolled in keith. So it's like a little bit of everything. Let's just see how high we can get through, like yeah, exactly without making like without rosin right, like that was the only different The only thing on here though is THHC and CBD. I got forty point one six percent and CBD is zero percent. Want to open it up and take a look. Pretty basic packaging,

not a lot of information. QR code didn't really take me anywhere. I do think it's a cool unique idea, like a little bit of everything gives you a unique buzz, but like a seven yeah exactly, I'm right there with you. National Poison Control Center. If they got the number on there, um your hands on my scream then yep, sorry, all right. If you're not well though, when you were like this, your your whole hands is on my screen, idn't Oh shit, exactly where you were

leaning more forward than normal, is all? Um? So yeah, this is yeah, it's a little I like the extra thisist though, because I like people trying to be unique, because like a lot of times it's just like the same old I thought it was just gonna be a what's it called a tarantula when I looked at it, they're normal pre roles. The tarantulas. Yeah, they have transulas, that's what they do. I'm personally you haven't been a fan of those, yeah, in the past, So I'm

curious to try this out. Black Widow sparkled it up. Well, you're like me, man, we always like that a little bit of new. It would be kind of cool to try something different, you know. Hey, yeah, I mean it's not rising and it's but it's everything else. Thhc a live resent inside because if you looked at like, if you look at the picture, can I see the packaging? That is the only thing,

you know what? I will show it a little lot. I'll say seven seven and a half on the packaging because I do like that they have a picture of what's in there and how they kind of layer it because if you it's kind of hard to see. I thought the cannon can but it basically has like a little live resent down the center. It looks like live resin down the center with crystal THHC A. And then obviously it was just like just and key fan on the sides. Just let to make the room

key stick. So, uh, points for uniqueness, I guess. And it's King Kong by the way, King Kong, So I don't know. Strainer. Wow, it's easier to pull through that. I thought it was gonna be for some reason. I thought it was gonna be like really hard to pull through the way. The picture looks so much wax. How much wax and stuff is actually in it? It's a one Graham so maybe point

one point two point two. I couldn't tell you because I mean, you got the key, if you got the resident and the distalates als I'm tasting is the key right now? Yeah, it's off a taste. I'm not really getting aything specific. It almost just tastes like a traditional transler. But these are this is a little easier to pull through them. They're they're transilers that I've tried. You got key f on your upper lifts. There is a lot of key f on this though it's hashy, I mean ash.

So far it is burning smooth, which I would hold. I mean yeah, but it's pulling through. I'm not usually a fan of distilate. To be straightforward with you, I've had disilate edibles that were okay, but not like smoking it or vaping it. Yeah, I would agree. I'm not the biggest fan of it dilate. But let's say when you mix all of them, though, I'm like, okay, because like the fact, the only reason why that I liked, I was like intrigued by this is because

there's live resonate here as well. You know, I would have saw a disilate Keith and that's it. I'd like. It does taste very it's just like Keith hash playing. It's a very plain taste, but it's not Yeah, but at least it pulls through. I've had some shit like they're transilers that don't pull through, so um taste wise, though, it's okay,

Yeah, it's nothing we are you giving it? I don't know. I was actually about to start looking up prices, so I had that because that's curious Um, I don't know yet because I'm not sold on the taste. Truthfully, I didn't know if it's gonna change or if I'm going to start tasting some reson because it's to me right now, it's more of a it's it's it just taste hashy. It's just not my favorite. Yeah, no,

I mean it really does. It's very plain, like I mean, I'm feeling a buzz come on creep, like a body buzz coming along. I feel myself like relaxing, but it's nothing like so tasty. And I think there's out of fifteen on this one, so it's like, really, I think I'm out to give it like a ten eleven eleven because at least it tastes like hashy eleven just for like, honestly, for infused joints nowadays, I really like them to taste like, you know, tasty. You

get that live resin actor that live resin usually get that same. That's where I'm at on that, um. But like it's not like I've half tasted worse weed, dude, That's what I'm saying. It's not like it's that it's just not my favorite. It smells like we're hitting something different, Like the smelling that was smelling different than how it's been burning. Those just weird. Sorry, um, why are you smelling that? Uh? But it's like an earthy, hashy little bit of harsh on the back of the throat,

a little bit from me when it's definitely a little dry. I would say though that again, That's why I can keep saying it is covered in ash. Ash is pretty nice. Actually, it's white. It's been pulling through. It's really clean ash. It's been pulling through. That's my big thing. Yeah, same, So I really can't complains out. I'd say twelve and a half thirteen, nothing to complain about thirteen thirteen, And what'd you say in taste again? Eleven It's okay, Yeah, not bad.

It's not really great a man like right out of ten on it um, the middle of the joints still smoking pretty good. I mean that the taste hasn't like gotten worse in the middle. If anything, you just kind of get more usually kief taste and it just kind of taste more hashy. It's a good sit I like, getting more of a sedative buzz. So it's like if you're looking for something to be calming and just like chilling like this.

That's how I'm feeling right now with it, so like overall this is it's so soothing and what it is so right now is this effects or what do you I'm just talking effects. I'm not there yet because technically we're still in the middle, but we got middle. I mean honestly, Like I'll be honest like now that I'm just puffing it. If someone was like, hey, you want to hit this, and I hit this like it getting me breefe, But like that's what that's That's what I'm saying. I wouldn't

expect to clean flavor at this point because it's already been smoking. It's not getting worse though, right the flavor is not getting too bad after it's still a little harsh. I'd give it a bout a seven. I'll go eight because, like, honestly, you know, as you get the buzz going, it's like, hey, that bad because the buzz is nice. Yeah, I mean, why we're talking about the effects jump in the hind to

effect um effects. I do too. I like it definitely. If I'm looking for something that's very calming, relaxing, soothing, this would be something to get. Yeah, I'm like, definitely chilling right now. So nap you wanted to take a naps out of this episode, Let'll be tight. Just come back different different outfits for forty minutes of us napping. It just goes quiet. After the root we were still recording, uh whatever, and Spotify would be very boring, and then the Spotify would be boring. Yeah,

I know. Ended though, we wake up just um no, but really sad happy. That's that, di, Let's make me a little silly. I'd probably get this twelve and a half on the high effect, twelve and a half thirteen. I mean, dude, I like the balls. Yeah, I'd like with you that like twelve half thirteen. I mean, we're still pushing towards that ending on it strength next is That's just how we do dabs. That's just dad. It goes in a price in an R and R and then we have an ending, so price. I've seen this

on shelves at for fifteen. Okay, so this is one thing like it may like I said, it's the same thing that I said before about the trenkos. It may not be nests of the most tasty thing, but man, they get you lit like I get a buzz off these things and it's like for fifteen dollars. If I was like in a mood to just get lit, and I was like, honestly, like I don't really care if it's like the most tasty thing, like that's a good price. You know.

Where this would be sweet is like after, like like during a concert, like if you already got a buzz going, like you're already partying and shit, this would be good because this is what could get you lit in a nice buzz if you'll feel it. Yeah, dude, for fifteen really can't beat it? Would you pay? Would you pay twenty for it?

Out the door? I mean if it was like fifteen twenty bucks maybe, And like I said, if I had a five in my heart, it's all about my mood, you know, That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, I mean at fifteen, it's a really good it's a really good deal. It's a good party joint. Man. You know, this is not necessarily something I want to smoke to my dome because it's not like tasty or I like to smoke nice flavorful shit. But if I want to, like, hey, yo, let's get lit and go to this movie or

something. This would be good to just pass around to some homies like you and five people. This is pretty tight for fifteen bucks. I got five on it, this one on Google, this one place, but they're not having to know more. So it was nine twenty one. I'm saying disty doesn't sell as much as the other ship, but I will say for the

value, it does get you a buzz. And if you're looking to get a buzz and you're not like, are you to be like super Some people don't give a shit about the all heart, all these flavors and the strands. It's more and more I talk to people. A lot of people don't care. Dude under twenty bucks. Dude for an infuse like that's pretty solid in few ship is above twenty bucks. Top words of fifty nowadays, Yeah,

I would agree. Um, the thing is, I'm not I'm not a huge I haven't been a huge fan of the crew Boy stuff in the past, but this definitely is a little bit on the on the better side, I'd say that makes sense one price price. I actually might man for like if I was, like I said, if I was in a certain mood and I was just trying to get little shit, and I didn't you

know. I was by myself like I might actually buy this because I mean I usually do like flavorful well like at then day, like a fifteen box already joined fifteen bucks to say this because like the one place I went to this was one of the only infused ones they had, and I was like, oh, that doesn't not that bad fifteen dollars. So I gave it eight and a half on price because that's pretty pretty right there with you and half value for sure, Um, it's not my go to obviously, I

prefer my rosin infused, but for hey, maybe even a nine. Well, I'm just saying it's all about value to me, though I'm not saying yes, you're right for me, Like I said I was gonna treat myself. I might go over something more rosin related, more folcus on the flavor. But this is definitely folks on getting you high. And I don't even never heard of King calling the strain. But it'll get you, it'll get you there, it'll do it. I'm still hitting it right. So that's

the recommend we purchase part we'll move into there. Yeah, I actually might depending on the mood in place like I got a nice little buzz going right now. And honestly, the way it pulls through. Man, sometimes I risk buying these other tarantulas and they don't even pull through. So at least this one pulled through. It's burning down all the way. It's not clogging up either. Yeah, I would like a better tasting one personally, if

they had something it was a little bit more flavorful for me. But like at price point, like you said, I mean, if you're hanging out with the homies and you're going downtown or just doing a smoke sashion, you don't want to pay for like a huge infused joint. This is a pretty reasonable, reasonably priced, and I think a couple people to get high, I'm gonna find that many cheaper in joints. Fifty bucks. Yeah, I don't know how you really could at that point, because it would you would

you even trust a ten dollars joint? No, it's like a half grammed point one a rosin or something. It's like, what are you putting in there at that point? So recommend to repurchase. I probably give it.

I'll give it a twelve right there with you, because I'm not a huge having't been a huge fan of Crude Boys, but yeah, but I'm gonna be honest, like this one and that other one that I smoked with just their flower kind of brought me back to at least, but like, all right, because dude, there's some shit out there where they put all this branding behind it and you came and pulled through on a regular pre roll two

three hits in. I just smoked this brand with my buddy yesterday. But I popped out that Crude Boys and it was pretty good, and I was like, holy shit, I got it for seven bucks. Wow, Like it was like seven fifty like whatever, fifteen dollars or two, Like what the hell out the door? This is like right on the border of a

low bee. I want to pass it. I actually because of where I came from, because I didn't like some of their stuff, and then the tranchulas they do always get me high, not always the most flavorful, but at least this one wasn't like that. I think that was still more flavor than the trantula better than I'm gonna pass it. It's definitely a fence pass, you know, like it's like listen to the reviews. But but The thing is like if I say it does, if I see okay, But

here's the thing. The reason why it's passing is because of the value, because I know I've seen this on prices, because what it is if I was going for, like, is this gonna win the High Times, Cup, I don't know. I don't think so because I like more flavorful stuff. Yeah, but I can't deny that for the value this customers aren't going to be totally screwed if their point is to be getting the buzz, not

to have that flavorful experience. Now, if it's just about flavor, you know, maybe spend a little bit more money, but do for the value? Value is there all day. Like I said, I'm right on the fence. But for me, I think I'm gonna pass it, just truly on the value part of it, the value side, like this is like the bargain in views. Did I feel that feel that well? Shout out to the crew boys for entring too the High Times canvabs Cup, Um,

I guess I'm gonna pass up for both of us. And as that you could, I mean, well, we can put it in the middle. You could put a no, and we could just say it's on the fence. You know, we can have them on the fences. I'm on the fence, but and leave it there, and let's leave it there. You gotta pass it. And you know what, it wasn't It's I'm just surprised. I just can't necessarily but guaranteed yes, But I can't be like guarantee no. So that's why I'm putting it as a pass, because like it

was, it was good. It was like, yeah, not bad overall, right, compared to some of the stuff we're fed. Exactly, Dude, I've seen some shit that's like thirty forty dollars you get it, and it doesn't even pull through halfway. And sure it's rosin, but it doesn't even pull through because the flowers so shitty. Yes, and you're like, at least that pulled through, And I wasn't gonna throw up the whole time. It's not a free same throughout too. There's no botanical terms. Best

he's in there. But yeah, fair enough, man, fair enough, So shout out the crew boys. We'll pass you. Um. But yeah, let's jump into our first article today. Dry But it was you know, you said a lot of critiquing it like it's definitely not the highest rating one for sure, a light pass whatever. Yeah yeah, anyways, I'll dude, So yeah, well, okay, where do you want to go first? Where are we going? You said you wanted to jump with the

worst news first. I'm a guessing that's what your post was. Let's talk about it. So bring him back the news to Singapore. The last time we brought him up, someone was got killed or hung or however they do it out there for cannabis related offenses. Well, a couple days ago it happened again. So that is twice now, man, that that that this has come up, I'm curious if there's gonna be a third this year.

I just the thing is, like, according to the article that like we were reading and stuff or what we were showing up, it's their second citizen that they hung in two weeks three Weekscuse me, I said they were second citizen in three weeks. It's crazy, Like that's a lot of people that you're just killing, Like because like then you like when you read this article that we've a ABC News shout out that's who we got this from. Singapore

hangs second citizen three weeks traffic gamases by calls to halt executions. The reason why they say that they were um asked to halt is because there was like some like people, uh actually asking them to stop. Who Richard Branson in the UN, as I asked, Singapore is talt executions. UM they talk about that anything over five hundred grams, which is like one point one pounds,

that is where you can get into that um death penalty area. So having more than a pound, you get killed if you really think about like any caregiver, any like even twelve plants, if you do it right outdoors, like normal people here have a pound like like not traffickers just like at the crib. So that was wild to me. It's pretty crazy. I'm glad they're trying to like get what lobby with Singapore to like haven't stopped. I mean, you really shouldn't be killing people over cannabis. Like, come

on, that's two people that have been killed. Now, well they've done, they say, well yeah. But also it continues to say Singapore executed eleven people last year for drug offenses after two year hiatus after the COVID nineteen So damn eleven people in the year. But that's for drug offenses, So that could be like coke or like whatever, other drugs. There's other drugs, right whatever, whatever could even I don't know what how it is.

I mean, they're killing people over weed, Like no one's died from weed, but you're killing people for charges for weeds. I know what you're saying. People haven't died directly from cannabis related health stuff, right, yeah. But what's interesting too? In this article it actually ends with saying um Amnesty International said Indonesia has carried out one hundred and twelve drug related executions last year by a firing squad after the hiatus was sixteen. In contrast, neighboring Island

is illegalized. Why Malaysia has ended mandatory death penalty for serious crimes, so some of their neighbors are starting to you know, it's showing you that some people go one way, some people go the other way over there, so it's not just about their area. That's why I think they were trying to say, but you know, Indonesia, Singapore she doing man like yeah, people believe it. I was like, what I had to share it wild man hopefully. Well it's a shame, man, It's really a shame.

That we're still seeing shit like this, especially because in our world we're seeing people profit millions of dollars, you know, we're pissed seeing people go to jail over it. They're killing people. I mean, that's why it's I mean, I'm blessed that we're in like literally for us, man, we're in Michigan right where where it's legal. We have pretty decent laws. Like overall, like a lot of the US is starting to get there, you

know, so it's like very fortunate. Some countries outside of America using cannabis is still looked at as like it is the devil's lettuce, like China, you guys sing before. It's crazy to see Thailand reverting him now like passing out from whipping people to like, hey, here's some free plants. They're probably are people are like, okay, I would believe this. How would it took him? Yeah, No, it's pretty crazy. No, I'm saying it just going that trust yeah, yeah one eighty versus this is just

going even harder in the wrong direction. Seriously, it's unreal. Shame shame. Uh. They posted the article a couple of days ago. Just want to retalk about an article this next one's interesting. Hit me with it. This is California pot industry facing extinction event. Dude, I feel like we're

always here so about this. I mean, oh, excuse me. Every couple of months, I feel like there's news coming out of Cali that the markets going down or something's going to happen to it because of how high the taxes aren't, how bad they like really messed up the whole industry out there, right, I feel I guess I okay, I hear you're saying. You're like, we're always hearing about Calie messed up. So this distinction event

California is they're just fitting. They're just experiencing another fear. Like they're just saying that they're not paying their taxes and stuff. They would have to shut down all these shots and they're millions of dollars in debt in California. You know that sounds like some of the businesses here in Michigan, right, that that happened. But like that this kind of it's hard though, because this is what happens when you have so much maybe overregulation. If they're smaller companies,

they invest everything. You just said something. The fact that you said it's here in Michigan too. It just shows that the overregulation doesn't work, right, it forces and and here's my big thing. Sure it's overregulated, but they're not even allowed to do what the other businesses do, right because

of the criminalization or because it's still scheduled. So it's like, really, if we want to help all these things, how to help how to balance out the market we got That's why that the criminalization like descheduling is so important because it'll affect things like this where if they could write things off, maybe they'll offset all this all this regulation because like think about a tobacco, alcohol,

firearms. I mean even like porn, Like there's a lot of regulation on all this stuff, right, Like again maybe not like internet porn, but like hard copy porn, Like there's regulation on this type of stuff, like you have to be a certain age, you have to do this, you go buy them in certain areas in certain shops, right, some of the background checks. Right. So there's all this regulation, but all that does is hold industries back. Cannabis also is held back by other things,

which is the safe banking stuff. So it's like when you have both things against you, it's like it's like breaking both the legs of the business and go for a walk like it's very difficult. That's why it sucks to see these businesses struggle. Obviously, some of them are like people that invested that your suits that just invested a ship ton of money in pharmaceuticals. How do I not think farming about cannabis and then they're losing their ass like those ones.

I don't feel sorry far. I feel sorry for people invested all their shit and they're getting scared because of all the overregulation that's hid in the industry. I don't feel bad. It's not just overregulated, That's all I'm trying to say, because like a lot of things are overregulated, it's that they're overregulated and they're treated like this miscellane is mystery drug like that you're not if

it was still looked at as an okay industry. I feel like some of these uphill battles they could get past, but since you're already crippling them, then you do all this over regulation. That's why it's tough. I mean, sure, you're right, there is a lot of overregulation that they even deal with more. But I'm just saying other industries, like even food FDA.

I'm trying to think of pharmaceuticals. They face a lot of regulation, but the reason why they succeed is because they're looked at as a business. Cannabis is businesses. They'll take that tax money, but they're not looked at a business. That's where it's like, that's why they're not getting ahead, you know, in my opinion. Yeah, then you also have tax fifty

percent taxes on product. People aren't gonna pay fifty percent tax on a product you've been getting it on the black market for half that that's true because now nine that's overregulation the killing these businesses. Well and also yeah, it's killing the because the people don't want to buy it. Yeah. Yeah, you're paying for such high under quality product. Yeah, and it's just unreal. And taxes is just like so expensive. It's like a it's just a messed

up system. And that's what I'm not That's one I'm shocked, not shocked to hear or the article you brought about cali and the potential of it, because, like you, I think all these farmers we talked about it a couple weeks ago, there was a bunch of farmers that were what from Northern Cali that are quitting due to the ship all the money that they're not making and stuff from the last couple of years, and they were from part of the people that voted on everything to go in. Like, there's a lot

of companies out there that are just it's just going downhill for us. So it's sad to see that, especially the ones that with that where they're pre legalization, right, no legacy so well, because a lot of them are the ones trying to do themselves self, starting for them and their friends. Like it's not like Corporate America ones where they just have a million dollars in marketing budgets where they can just be like, oh shit, we had a

bad quarter, you know exactly, So we'll see what happens. We'll keep it up, keep you update on that. I don't think. I don't hope Kelly's market crumbles, but they do not over the text. But I think what Kelly is doing is like thankfully they're so far ahead, they're showing

the rest of the other markets like, hey, don't being worn. But also like the fact that we're getting halfway to like legalization where half the states are gonna be legal like we're finally getting to that point, like hopefully before California fails that dichronization of safe banking, because like we're saying, like I really think it's both that are killing people. Just get one of them passed and then we just put all of our efforts on to one and then we

get the other one passed. You know what I mean, Like, doesn't need one of those the pass because that's why these businesses are suffering, because you've got your breaking both. If if both of those things were like keeping the businesses afloat because it's a hard industry already competitive, you've got no lakes, so you're just out there like having to do some fancy marketing or have really amazing products. That's all you got. Pretty yeah, wild man,

wild wild wild stuff. Interesting times, interesting times. You want to jump to this video though? Oh what you say about the jumps to the video?

You know I got you. I should do something like that. Um, actually I haven't thinking about a damn song. It's been funny perks. Hey, man, once I finished this one mix, I actually gonna start writing lyrics in my songs, Like, hey, I got a lot to

say on this thing, so right, trying man, whatever. It's been a lot to learn, dude play And I never played the sax in front of people before now, like this is all a new thing. Like I wasn't like a trained musician in band my whole life, Like I was a little bit, but not my whole life. Anyways, Um, it's all

gus news update. So yeah, news update. Last part of it Minnesota, right, minda, And this one finished on a good note because the last letting of the first beginning the episode was a little rough on those first two articles. Yeah, it's all good here on out. Yes, the most part. Yeah, well we're the Michigan things, depending on which line, right, But Minnesota, I think it passed. I believe it already passed the House. Now it passed the Senate, so it's going to get

signed by the governor. And they say that the governor seems pretty positive about it. So hopefully we get Minnesota passing week guys, cannabis, you know, if we get them, that's twenty two or twenty three, because there was one that just passed that's fully legalization. That's not correct, that's not medical at all. Yeah, it says it's a headed towards Waltz after Senate, so Waltz must be there, governor Ye past thirty four to thirty two.

So that's pretty close. Oh wow, it's actually closer than I thought. Because remember that's that video that we talked about three weeks ago where they were and it was twenty three by the twenty three nice where they were talking about two ounces equals three joints the senators remember their fitted was that Minnesota? Yeah shut up? Yeah? Oh wow. Well see it shows you that even though some people still hate and have these old school mentality, is that close? Wow? I mean, look at me, look at um.

Uh was it Missouri, right or Kentucky Missouri? Missouri? Missouri? Just no, it didn't go legal. Who's the one that what was the one guy that came up from cancn Missouri. No? I thought they did go legal though they didn't get it. No, maybe they didn't they want to medical might be thinking. Anyways, My whole point is that you're starting to see these states that you never thought of like good to go legal or starting

to like go legal, like I mean, does Texas is notical? For Christ's sake, I never thought that would be a thing, Like I got the best idea. That's all I'm trying to say is that these states that you just don't I guess I've been learning through studying and reading all these articles and doing this podcast that you really can't just assume a state is a certain way anymore because times have changed so much with cannabis that people's perspectives are very

um, especially after talking like Mathman playing next week's episode. He's from Virginia. A lot of people still hate on cannabis, but there are still people that believe in it out there. So it's I don't want to start saying this state, this state, this state anymore, you know. I guess that's what I was trying to say. I'm learning that I want to get a map in here that we could just like cross off each one, yeah, coded with like hair is legal. We could just buy a map and

then just like put a little weed pot leave plants on. Yeah, and then when we're forty eight states, we go, hey, yo, can we just make this dude, if we get to thirty states, I'm legal, like fully legal, it's only seven more. Even if we get okay, let's twenty six. I want last number. I want a small number. Twenty six. It's that is. How do you do math man? You round up right? Once we hit thirty, it's gonna make no sense

about the scheduling. They literally schedule one substance say that they don't have medical benefits, but more than half the states already say they have medical benefits. Why does that make any sense? Like that is the one hypocrisy in all this that I don't get. And I keep tapping this damn box. I'm so frustrated. So it's just I don't get it. Put that box down, didn't I had to let it go. But it's like dogs thinks I'm getting all heated up. No, I'm good. I'm like, it's just

that it's so silly. It's super silly. No, it really is due, it truly is. And that's why I'm curious. Wow, how it's going to play out. You're absolutely right. When we hit twenty six, that's a majority legal. What's what's the conversation going to be? Probably it's still that it's bad. I'm just kidding because that's just that's just what it

seems like, right Um. Truthfully, I think you know, it's gonna still take some time until a lot of these senators and representatives are out of office, a lot of the older ones that don't have the the similar views on it being a good alternative to pharmaceuticals. It has medicinal value, like all these are good benefits, and I think in time we will get to where we all went on it to be decriminalizing off schedule one. You got

Kilo on this just that just put them off. I was waiting TI you made your point because I didn't want to cut the point off as a good point. I just also want to poop Keilo because he never gets to join the streaming, right, Kilo there is? But yeah, you know, but you one hundred percent right, I mean something like. That's what it takes, though, is these phasing out of politicians. You know, you don't just one day, you don't just like wake up and everything's good again.

It's like slowly but surely, you know. And that's my thirty four to thirty two is just showing you is just barely got there. Barely got there, but dude, that's all it takes sometimes, And sure there's gonna means they're gonna have an upward hill battle. You know, people are gonna be fighting against them. But yeah, they did a lot of the hard part. They got there, so yeah, so good for them. Congrass Minnesota. Before we get into the proposed change, you have anything else in

Minnesota? Nope, nope, nope, I just have the um we the breakdown of all this uh ciri stuff. Yeah. Yeah, before we get into that, there's a couple events coming up this dude, dap time too after after okay events, Yeah, there's a couple events coming up this week. If you worrow actually, oh when they watched this tomorrow Oh yeah, tomorrow night, we'll be at the Sunset Techno the Cannabis event. If you are at that event, hit us in the DMS, come link up with

us, will definitely smoke. It's be fun. Yep. Uh honestly, it's gonna be a fun couple days. So we're gonna run through this uh canna bab Thursday Friday, Groo. He's performing at Heady in the Cloud are Heady with the Big Cloud fam. Yep, Sappo, Fang, all those like og Michigan, like Legacy people are gonna be up and there. Even Nicote is gonna be there, Judge at Hash Yeah, I'm looking forward to

So if you're at Hetty, link up with us, and we're thinking we'll be there Saturday at least during the day. We're probably gonna head back for the nighttime, try to catch three six maf Ya if we can, but if not, we'll be at least there during the day. And said, like I said,

Saturday night, if you're at Movement, hit us up. We might be there, but if not, Monday three he's trying to force me to get there. So if not, and then Monday, we're pretty sure gonna be there. So Monday hit us up. Yeah, be downtown, So I want to just meet up in Blaze, so it'll be a lot of opportunities. Uh, and we'll always have joins him always ready to smoke. So please don't say always because there's a couple of times I could think of

us not having joined. There's one time, only one time you were thinking at the same time. Then you didn't tell me we were chilling or anything. I did not expect that. That was just I thought it was just us and him. And then all of a sudden walking like we're gonna be in and out and literally like, oh, you guys gotta have good weed. And I can see Dave's soul crushed. He was like, oh, we did a good week. Like the one time, I know, I had no weed, not good weed. I had no weed. I was

weedless and I hate that I did. I was like what And I ate it. People listening to this podcast like, I feel you, man, I'll like be we list either, man? Heh yeah, Kada, Dave, I don't like people. I know. It's the worst, man, It's the worst feeling. You remember back in the day, when you'd be we'd listen, you'd have to wait hours to get your weed, or you'd be like, yes, Chicago, dude. Living in Chicago was the worst

experience. Even here was better because at least I could find someone to smoke me out here, so I would always have a buddy like, all right, hey, d I got no grass. Can you at least like, can I hit a joint like you? Yeah? But someone would be like, I got you like you have a joint or a joint. Come on, we hit this joint, right, that's all. He's like, I don't got any to sell you or give you, but I got you on a joy like tight that's all I want. In Chicago was the worst bro

for me. It took me like two two and a half hours to go get weed and then you're talking the eighth of men like a fifty dollar crap swag. That's just horrid. But you're right though. That brings me back to those days where you'd have to wait hours if not, like you said, maybe the next day, Yeah, find some now. It's like inconvenient if there's like six people. That's how I felt in that moment, was waiting on the plug. I was like like, come on, man,

I hate that. But yeah, So if you're any of those events this upcoming week, hit this up at us in the dams. We're always posting stuff in our stories. Cheers. Other than that, no, that'll be fun. That's kicking off the events. I am actually playing two gigs in June, both at the Tangent. One's not announced yet, so I want to announced that. Yeah. One is June tenth. Yeah, yeah,

Yeah, that one's gonna be fun. I think I'm gonna try most a lot, a lot of just originals out and songs that I don't normally play because it's the first time. I'm not gonna have like a lot of times when you're playing opener sets, like you don't want to play people that are playing that night. So I can actually put a set together with like open books, so it'll be fun. I might play some of my heavier stuff.

I haven't actually released it put out yet. I'm excited. So yeah, yeah, I catch us in there and the July we got U you see. I guess he's gonna we'll be up the legacy. I don't know on what degree. I'm pretty sure I'll be helping out with some workshops. I won't be I don't think I'm playing as of No. Well, might we might Glass project, oh, Glass Projects in June nine, tenth, and eleventh, And then you also have Spark in the Park two, which I'm gonna try to hit one of the days, and that gig is the

tenth to a tangent. So it's a busy weekend. D the next weekend it is my birth day. I'm getting old. What day? Oh yeah it is, it's on a Friday. Don't have to get lit. Oh shit. A lot of parties, a lot of things to celebrate coming up in the next couple of months. And like I said, July August is just as wow, dude, you're kidding me, because then the first weekend in June is uh that ballot, the Grand Prix Grand Prix. I know,

I know. I meant to say, oh no, it's not, dude, Nchigan milks every weekend, because he is all we only get three four months. You get May through August, September. Yeah. Yeah, well let's let's jump in this last thing name because this is gonna take a little while, all right. So yeah, the CIRA proposed it's like a we downloaded it. It was thirteen page pdf of proposed changes throughout the entire industry, from licenses to events. There was something on what growers have to

do and it's long. So we're gonna go through a couple of the stuff that we found Groovy highlighted some of them. They go through social equity, financial compliance, statewide monitoring system, sampling and testing, general operation. Yeah, I mean I put many bad in some good changes. What are your thoughts, because they definitely let us know in your comments, Please put your thoughts something of these proposed changes, because like there are a range of like

some good some bads. Yeah, that's funny. Um, a lot of them have to do with like procedures and SOPs. And so we're not going to cover every single topic and go over every single reasoning. We just read through them all and we want to something that highlighted to me that I thought, were you know, interesting, right, This is one I thought was interesting. It says that this is an existing requirement already, but just was

ensure transparency and forceability. But I didn't realize this. It says require an employee to submit a withdrawal of medical marijuana Michigan Marijuana Program within five days of higher. So that's saying if you work for a company, that you have to turn over your card, right, say. It says, require an employee to submit a withdrawal to the Michigan Medical Marijuana Program within five days of higher. Yeah, you gotta give up a card to carry cards for a

card that's what they're saying. But is that even for being a budgender Because that's why I highlighted because that's pretty cool crazy. I understand if you're like working around plants and that the way they're making that sound makes it sounds like, Yeah, there needs to be more clarity on that, I think, right, because you are highly um right on that, because if it is a bud tender just a cashier, that seems kind of odd because then you're

like you're pushing to end that program. Then in my mind, you know what I'm saying, because for the why for the longest time, you couldn't work at a dispo unless you were a caregiver. Remember that was like the one thing they used to say, right you know, an they're going the other way on it. Yeah, so that'll be interesting. If it is employee, I believe it. I knew facility though if you would did facility work, you did have to give it up. So that's why that's why

I was curious about that. Yeah, so we'll have to see the more clarity on that because he's just came out, so you know, they'll be talking about these and drafting up the ones that to approve the one I saw one that said clearly established the circumstances for which the CR can deny an amendment. I think that's kind of nice because it's just like, this is why they're just saying give us a and I think that's probably should have always been

there. Um. They have a lot of like tax stuff or not tax stuff, liabilities, tax stuff, all this random stuff changes in you of doing business as is like people think of them nobs. DBAs require licenses to submit proof of insurance sixty days after initial license renew A lot of things have

to do with more of the business stuff. And then this is where we got into something that is more interesting to US, um change of definition of temporary events so that the licenses is only required if marijuana will be sold. So basically you could just have cannabis consumption events, not just if you're not selling them. It's amazing for US. License will be not required if marijuana's only being assumed. That's actually huge for US because that means you can still

have vendors. You can still have vendors because they're just gifting it. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, you're not selling it. Like the only time you have to sell it is if you're an event, if you're like the event we were up at up yeah, where they're actually selling it, camp camp whatever, camp canvas, and then like those events. I love

that. I think that's great. Like seeing that it's like sweet because when we were trying to through the event, we're like, man, we need to get a temporary event license just to throw a consumption event and to build onto that. It says eliminate the requirement that an applicant for a temporary event provide an event location number for where retailers will operate during the event. So basically not saying how many people, how many people are selling or giving away

ship like you don't have them. Companies are gonna be there. You know, You're not throwing companies under the bus. And then require marijuana event license to be submitted one hundred and twenty days before instead of ninety days, so made that a little longer. Those are like some three that stuck out to me that you brought up. Yeah, the main one was I really like

that temporary event. There's so many other ones though here and in this we're not even done yet, But I think that's just great the event thing because it should that's how it should have been, right, Like you should just be able to consume cannabis, like if if the venue's okay with it or the private place is okay with it or whatever. Here's the thing, man, it all comes down to how they regulate alcohol. So if I wanted to have a party at my house, it's why the cup parties work because

you're selling cups and then you just have beer. You're not selling the beer. Once you start selling the alcohol, that's when you need an alcohol license, right, because you're selling alcohol. Makes sense. That's why Ko's kids did keggers because you're selling the cups, you're not selling the beer. Duh, right. I don't know if anyone ever knew that, but that's like what you're doing. You're not selling alcohol. If you're selling alcohol like a

bartender, that's when it gets illegal. That's when it's tennically illegal. You need alcohol license. Right, technically you can still get fun though probably I'm sure, but like that's how they did. It's loopholes, man, a lot of America systems. So my whole point is like that this is off a loophole, you know, all right, I'm sorry. It was off a loophole right now now they're saying it's okay, But that's why it should be regulated. Similar to that where it's like they're not selling weed. What

does it matter if it's a legal product. What does it matter if companies are coming giving away product? You did? You know what I'm saying, Like, no, I'm right there with you. I mean, I think that's great. It'll be great to see now you can pretty much reach out to private venues and be like, hey, are you okay with us? And then you're gonna have it there like that. No, nothing against all. Yeah, I hope that one definitely gets into place. Yeah, this

one was neat to me. It makes me this is two more towards when you can get into financial compliance. Yeah, this said require licensees to maintain a double entry accounting system. I wonder if people are cooking books or something, because I feel like that means they want better tracking of how the money's going in and out. I wonder if people are like embezzling and doing shit with the money, or I mean, how did I lose hundred grams? Like, I mean, I don't know what that means. I just read

that. I was like, dang, that seems a little but I don't know what a double standard like it's. It says it's a standard accounting practice, but I guess it's not forced, dude. I mean, there's so much stuff. No, I've got a couple more highlights than I want to talk about before we get out of here, because require licenses to record expiration dates of product up with each production badge. I wasn't ready to get out of here. So yeah, Oh, I thought you were about to round

up. I was like, no, no, no, because I've got so many highlights. We haven't even hit two of the ones I want to talk about, Okay, So no, I just thought that was huge because oh where have those been? Sh I've always done like two years, right minimum, But like after two years, I think after a year it's pretty gross. Yeah, I know, Well that's what it used to be us too. Even six months, if it's a flower, it gets dry like and wax loses flavor, like you really want to consume it within the first

probably probably six months, that's what I said. Probably after six six months is like where you want six months to a year is if it's stored right, probably fine, year to choose if it's not stored, right, like you've lost everything, You're losing flavor. I don't know. Yeah, so that that would be good to see that on the package because at least least use a consumer big. Oh shit, I've found these edibles. How when are they bad? Oh? Okay, cool, cool, cool cool.

I don't know about that, right, weird. The next one is yours, the one that you brought. Require licensees to report harvest schedules in state ward Monitoring SYS. Yeah, I was interested in that. Are not interesting when? Yeah caught my eye because it's like, you don't have the record. Yeah, why do you want to know every time I'm harvesting? To know how much products we're making? Problem? When to check? When to do this? Checks chin stuff. Probably so they have a better time on

when they should check. They're like, okay, they just harvest it in this amount of weeks, they'll have this much. Plants will check this. Then it's probably better for them. One interesting because now they're random checks probably aren't so random, right, it's just interesting if random check this harvest, this harvest. I want to harvest every week just to piss you off. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well so I thought this one was neat too. So that was that had to do with the lot that was

a monitoring system, yea, those ones. This one is in sampling and testing. This one I thought was neat because like we are, we've been to we've been to facilities. We already know that they're cameraed up like crazy. Yeah, I've never been in a facility with less than like thirty cameras, Like there's always so many cameras, Like yeah, it's multiple screens all full of cameras, like and you're just like hello, like I won't say

my favorite. One of them literally had two sweet screens in their office. I was like, whoa, because I'm like a tech nerd, so I'm like this is sweet. And they are all like digital and some of them grim pieces piece uh um um, I'm blinking out the right term right now. They can basically move and control them um sick pzm mics no, something like damn, I'm blinking right now. That's not no, it's pressure zone mics, the cameras, the crammers. Anyways, it doesn't matter. I'm

just blinking. PTZ PTZ there we go. PTZ cameras. You can actually move them and stuff. So anyways, the whole thing is check this out. Require all safety compliance facilities to be performed in front of a camera with them active view an entirety for sampling event. So now they have to be in front of a camera while they're doing the sampling with nothing in their view like it has. It can't just be like on camera. It has to be like in the camera. Like I'm like, damn, dude, they're

like really watching these people who watches this stuff the state? Maybe if they wanted like how many hours of yes? What I mean, how do they Your one job is to watch hours and hours of fish. Up here we are we're watching this week. It is so and so you know, yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. Ah yeah that was interesting. So we're in sampling and testing. I think there was a couple more in here that we want to read. I have one highlighted, but

I thought there was one before this. I mean we probably, Oh, here we go require licenses licensees, licensees who are creating any pre role product to have a product tested in final form parentheses after they have been placed into the pre role delivery system and in parentices. This includes both raw pre roles and infused pre roles. Non cannabis ingredients are not permitted in pre roles.

Say that again, non cannabis ingredients are non permitted in cannabis. Now this, I want this to be defined a little bit deeper because I love it for the botanical terms, right, get rid of that garbage, like thank God, Like like when we had Miracles episode from Legit labs. Check it out. You shouldn't be having botanical terms. Shouldn't have these things that are additives touching the flower even the aroma is like as far as it should be.

But we know people like this should have been tasting anyways, any who really really helpful. I'm curious if this will change, if this will happen, because this will really if this happens in they rule that botanical terms, because you shouldn't be in hanling those first off, right, we were learning more with mirco Um. If those are out, you know, it's going

to affect a lot of the infused pre role market. Uh Naming a couple like probably the Jeters maybe even though I haven't had them, but I'm those um, there's a couple that I can think of. Now there's a new one. I just saw that. I saw it yesterday and I was like, no, thanks, because it looked like the botanical terms, it's gonna affect quite there's a lot out there, you know. That's I said.

I can't just call it everyone. They're just that's the most typical brand name one, right, But someone did Ghostbusters I think mentioned in our Wake and bake this morning or not this morning, but whenever the last wake and bake again the last wake and bake. He said that that could affect CBD and CBN, so we have to keep an eye out for like that could also bring any ingredients which you no more adding anything. You know. I'm not to way against it, right, I'm not to lay against it. I'm

just curiously where it goes. You know, it might just be regulated differently. I just hope you don't get rid of I mean, I like, I think it should be regulated with CBD, yeah, like CBN gummies. Oh but I don't know how that all works, so we'll see. That's why I said, let's define that. I just like it. For the botanical terms, I think that'll be huge. It's only should be cannabis drive products within the cannabis dry yeah, if it comes from hamp CBD ECBN.

I see what you're saying. But they can arbu be the same thing with terpenes though. Yeah, no, no, that's what I'm saying. That's probably why it has to be one of the other you, Craig, can't both. Yeah, it makes sense, that would make that makes no sense. But one more thing that I thought was really cool. Require standard turpine profile testing a flower already happening in most places, but it improves customer knowledge. They're pushing, they're pushing into listen to us, hey man on podcast.

I mean because you're hit in getting rid of botanical terms. You're hit more testing your hit expiration time. It sounds like you just listen to my canicast oh time man. Anyways, there's a couple more. I think these are in general just random general ones. General operations prohibit marijuana sales from products from the registered carregivers. In two I was in eighteen, I was nineteen

two. I I laughed. I just had to say it, like, why would you exactly that shit should be like trash by hilarious That's what I thought. I thought this was interesting, requiring, requiring serving size and does to be identified on product to require edible marijuana products include one of the following. Single service packaging scoring of solid I am as a part of manage,

so basically just being a little bit more. It says sorry, It says scoring of a solid item with assets with breaking a multi serving product into serval several single servings, a measuring device designed or marketing for a single serving. Basically folcus on getting you to like understanding that single serving very clear, because that has confused a lot of people. You know, some people, I'll eat a couple. Oh shit, these were twenty five you know, you

gotta be very clear on them. And like, I'm like, not totally against that. I just I think that should be defined a little bit clear. You know. There's yeah, not there. They want to specify label requirements on inner and outer packaging. UM established the THHC. It's published in August twenty twenty two bulletin. That one I didn't even understand. I didn't even get what they're trying to say there. That seems weird to me. Yeah, some of the stuff I'm not sure. And this I didn't like.

The last one I didn't like. It said removed the requirement for a strain because this requirement does not provide value of information. Removing the requirement with eliminate unnecessary restrictions requirement for packaging, labeling, ease of burdens on like these like so now they can just sell it as general flower. Like it's too much. Just tell you what the strain is. That is? That is wickedy weird to me? Yeah, that I don't like it at all.

That one's whack of do remove the requirement for string. That's like the most important thing in my opinion. Oh there was one more, but it wasn't important. Is that I don't. I think that was insane. But to me, right, not having the strain, there's just so they can sell shake and stuff general shake. Yeah, that's why. That's why. That's why I any more clarity on it. I'm not I'm not too fair enough. And this one says allowed licensees to add QR codes the package labels with

certain labeling requirements. Uh, and testing results could be accessed via QR code. I thought they were already allowed to do that because we've seen that. We hate when people don't do this because we love that. So they listen to us again if they if they haven't been allowed to. That's lame. They should have been allowed to because all those companies that didn't like power to you, yeah, we love it. We've been because like we're able,

should be able to do that. Why would you not be able to that? I don't exactly, It doesn't make sense. They should have should be open book system. So anyways, that's pretty much the summary of the all the breakdown one. There's another one that's all I have define the following terms pre role, remediation, free treatment, recall, administrative hold. But the main one in that is remediation. So does that mean that they're going to

have to put on the label that the bud was remediated? It'll probably be fine print because if so, that would be a big move for the industry as a whole and for consumers. And I'm curious because like define pre role,

okay, to find remediation and define all the other ones. Remediation is the biggest one there because it is the one that has been talked about as not clean cannabis, right, and that's what uh Skyman went against the caregivers for years a year ago, two years ago, now, right, Yeah, I'd love to see them having to start marking your ships remediate it, right, So like that would be huge because I'd be a game changer because

then everything you'd be able to start seeing to be remediate for the flower. Um, so that was the one that I was really interested in. Then that one the events, I mean, there was a lot of goods, some interesting like I gotta god, we need more, we need more uh once it called a knowledge on it, more research on it either way, though, glad to see these coming out because some of these could be potentially great. Somebody these could potential se negative. So keep an eye, am.

We'll keep updating as we see updates. But maybe we'll try to share that doc and the doc the comments or something. But and that that was our breakdown. Yeah, so yeah, big changes possibly big changes. A lot of stuff behind the scenes too. We didn't even cover half these. We just covered on the highlights. Yeah, it could have been a whole episode one. I'm just breakdown, Yeah, break the whole thirteen page thing.

Um. But I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. We reviewed the crude boys, uh black widow right, what's called discuss the cra We'll be at a couple events this week. News updates Singapore. It's still crazy how it's like loved and hated in this world. We gotta get it to an all love thing. Yeah, I got man. Well, I hope you all have a great week.
