The Canna Kuyas EP53- Donald's Descheduling Distraction

The Kuyas discuss the latest rumor from the Marijuana Herald that claims Trump will deschedule cannabis this summer.

Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:57

You're listening to the Canakuya podcast, where we are cultivating conversations concerning cannabis, culture, and creativity. I'm Mitch Narito.

SPEAKER_01 1:06

And I am Eric Esteban. And I am not and will not be bamboozled by the marijuana Heralds story that not my President Trump is going to be descheduling cannabis. So that means he's gonna make it legal? He's going to deschedule it. Remember how we talked about in past episodes the difference between rescheduling and keeping it on the schedule of drugs and therefore making it uh able for the uh pharmaceutical company to take over the cannabis industry in in ways of the way they already have like a infrastructure set up or descheduling, meaning it is legalized and it is a is is uh no longer part of the schedule of drugs. What is it right now? Is it class one? It is class one, same as cocaine and crack cocaine and all the other handamine and heroin and all the other stuff. Yeah, I'm pretty sure, because I don't think uh Biden ended up he was talking about desched uh rescheduling it and then didn't.

SPEAKER_06 2:25

Yeah, like the last news that we had was yeah, it they they were gonna reschedule it. So it from class one to something less severe. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 2:35

Right, but federally it is still right now, yeah, it has it that that hasn't still schedule one right now.

SPEAKER_06 2:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

And so what the my marijuana herald, I want to say the Miami Herald, because that's the actual paper, but there's a marijuana Herald. Okay. And they are reporting that Trump is floating the idea of rescheduling or descheduling. See how it's fucking it's confusing, but descheduling cannabis and just legalizing it uh federally across the board. I have not as a it over the summer, right before the November midterms. So people forget, they're just like distraction, another to so to distract from the distraction of the Iran war to the this to distract from the Epstein files. So we would try to distract, and he was like, Here, how about this? How about smoke some weed? Maybe that will make you forget.

SPEAKER_06 3:30

Has there been has there been any like secondary confirmation from anyone? Or is it just the marijuana?

SPEAKER_01 3:35

It's just the marijuana herald, and then everybody's kind of ran with the story. So that could be uh you know, uh a Trump supporter floating out a story of distraction. It could be a whole bunch of different things.

SPEAKER_06 3:47

I don't know. I'm gonna need I'm gonna need a couple more outlets to pick that up before.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

But since after my surveillance of like, you know, my my my my regular my my people that I've I've been uh watching and listening to and who I've learned how to grow cannabis from on the internet in the YouTube university that is the cannabis community that I watch, you know, a a lot of people are talking about this, and a lot of people have a lot to say about it, so I figured we'd open up episode 53 with a little discussion of this because in a lot of ways the people who are fully against marijuana and cannabis in our country are fighting their last fight because there there's very few it there the the the surveys all around the country are 80-20 on this. Everybody wants to legalize cannabis.

SPEAKER_06 4:41

I this is my take, this has no basis on any facts, but this is just my observation, right? Like I I think that a lot of these uh anti-cannabis groups, right? Like before we've heard it's oh it's it's big tobacco or it's alcohol, it's all of these things that you know, you know, it's it's the pharmacies, like big pharma. Like it's always the the folks that already have control of the situation. Yeah, and like I think that at this point they're just trying to buy themselves some time so they can they can get in on it. Because I guarantee you that like Big Tobacco, they already have like packages of pre-rolls like ready to like roll out once it you know like all pops off, right?

SPEAKER_01 5:30

Like you'll see like camels and freaking Well it it's it's it's what the ends up being is some of the uh out of state actors and the bigger cannabis companies, if you dig deep enough into their ownership and into the the diff different corporations that make up their whole corporation, a lot of them are tied to all those companies and and and all those different everything is all a big it's uh it's all a c what did George Carlin say? It's all a club and you ain't in it.

SPEAKER_06 6:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:06

And that's and that's kind of what it boils down to.

SPEAKER_06 6:09

No, I guarantee you that Marlborough already has like packs of pre-rolls ready to like ship out to 7-Eleven once it all becomes legalized. Any any of the anti-um like uh cannabis like people from like the the alcohol system?

SPEAKER_01 6:23

They've already got their formulations down, Pat, for the for the the cannabis drinks that will find the case.

SPEAKER_06 6:30

So they've already got that. Uh all big pharma, like they're they stand to lose the most money because they they can't do all of the stuff that cannabis can naturally with with the least amount of side effects, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 6:47

Um we were talking about and the ease of access. Yeah. Because another article that I was reading online concerning this whole topic was that a lot of elderly patients that relied on the dispensaries the past couple of years, because of all the different legislation and how confusing it is in their state, depending on if you're in a legal state, medical state, whatever it is, recreational state, all the different things, all these older people, and I I I guess I would include myself in that because I'm 52 now, but a lot of older people are getting rid of the dispensary and starting to learn how to grow their own. There's a new movement of growing their own, in as far as these older people who probably grow their own tomatoes and all their own, they're doing gardening anyway, they're they're they're deciding to now grow their own cannabis. And there's a new grow-at-home movement that's growing with the with all the different questions and concerns that are are coming with the new cannabis and and how it's either accepted and or criminalized or whatever it is, because we don't really know. It's uh kind of up in the air. Because like you said, that's one story in the in the Miami or C like the Marijuana Herald.

SPEAKER_06 8:03

The Marijuana Herald. And that's and like, okay, so like mainstream media, like, and I'm just looking it up right now. I just Googled because I wanted to look up the last uh CNN headline that uh they put out um with regards to marijuana. And dude, CNN is low-key anti-marijuana. Oh, totally.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Or I feel I feel it is they they are totally anti-marijuana.

SPEAKER_06 8:26

See here. Okay, so these are the last headlines, right? So March 16th, 2026. Scientists say marijuana doesn't ease anxiety or any mental health issues.

SPEAKER_01 8:35

I can personally say bullshit.

SPEAKER_06 8:38

Okay, June 17th, 2025. Marijuana use dramatically increases risk of dying from heart attacks and stroke.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Uh sure. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 8:49

Uh marijuana is clickbait, if nothing else. Uh let's see, April 20th. Just so you can comment that this article is bullshit in the comment section.

SPEAKER_06 8:59

Yeah, and then um, let's see, uh, April 20th, so 420, 2025, right? On our sacred holiday. Marijuana hospital visits linked to dementia diagnosis within five years.

SPEAKER_01 9:12

And then uh what did the cannabis uh actual doctors and scientific researchers say about cognitive and kind of actually cognition goes up and and and doesn't diminish and it prevents the onset of dementia. But you know, that's uh it's it's basically a a 180 argument to what's actually being reported in an in a lot of the studies that are happening in as far as with prolonged marijuana use.

SPEAKER_06 9:42

Here, May 5th, 2025. Marijuana is extremely dangerous to fetus in the womb. A lot of shit is dangerous to fetus in the womb, I feel.

SPEAKER_01 9:50

Um and to be honest, again, I wonder if that article once mentions the endocannabinoid system that is in every human being's body. That's the thing that people are always that's the one thing that I'm waiting for. One of these doctors. Like, I I listen to a lot of doctors, like the I you know what I want to go online and and give them a shout out. And actually, you know what? No, I'm not even gonna do that because I I keep saying stuff about reaching out to folks, and I want you guys to tag folks in our Instagram who we should talk to on our next video or our on our videos.

SPEAKER_06 10:25

Dude, check this out. Okay, so there's more. That this is not even the f the the all of the first page for like the Google.

SPEAKER_01 10:31

CNN CNN is bullshit.

SPEAKER_06 10:33

No, it it is, but okay, here. So December 29th, 2025. Your mouth on weed is nothing to smile about. Smoking marijuana can increase cavities, tooth loss, and risk of oral cancers. Uh, let's see. September 9th, 2025. Marijuana may cause chromosomal defects and human egg cells, study finds. December 2nd. CNN be just putting shit out. Dude, December.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

You give me when what are the years on this?

SPEAKER_06 10:59

This is this is the last two years. Jesus Christ. Here, this is December. This one, this one's the best. December 2nd, 2025. Scromiting. A bizarre condition linked to chronic marijuana use is on the rise. Explosive vomiting combined with screaming after marijuana use is called scromiting. How do you vomit and scream at the same time? No, no, no. You scream like it's combined. It's not at the same time. It's just scromiting, so you're like, No, no, you're not doing it at the screen. It's just like you're just being loud, and then you're just like you know, like I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

I I feel that why did we make up that word? Did CNN This is CNN? CNN may be making up words called scromiting. Yeah, and you know what? You know what I would describe? You know what I would describe CNN's news feed? Scromiting. It's a bunch of screaming vomit. That's all that every single headline that you wrote is scromiting to me. No, but oh, I love it.

SPEAKER_06 12:06

May 28th, 2025. Marijuana edibles and joints may cause early heart damage. Oh my lord. Dude, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 12:14

There's not like Well, yeah. I mean, mainstream media and all these other people, they're being bought and sold by where? By the same companies that we were talking about earlier. Pharmaceuticals, what ads do you see when you when you don't pay the premium on all the streaming services? You was what what ad did I keep seeing? Something about about eczema, a whole bunch of eczema ads, or they showed samples of people's skin and eczema. They don't know. I want to skip this so badly. Like back in our day when they would show commercials on regular TV, at least the commercials were appealing, and you could like you would like to watch them. Now it's like ugh, it's nothing.

SPEAKER_00 12:55

It's nothing related. Hey, you have explosive diarrhea? Here's some pictures of explosive diarrhea to see if you have it.

SPEAKER_06 13:01

Oh, it's gross. No, there's no, there's no like there's no like ri correlation between what's going on in the in the pharmaceutical.

SPEAKER_01 13:08

Yeah, and then you get the motherfuckers with erectile dysfunction taking bathtubs on a hill. Yeah, yeah. Taking baths on the hill. That don't even make sense. Playing pickleball. I don't I don't even understand it. Commercials today don't make any sense. That's why I end up paying for the premium. That's how they that's how they get you.

SPEAKER_06 13:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

That's how they get you. Look at that. See, you thought you wouldn't get weed conspiracies on the canacoolas? You got them right there.

SPEAKER_06 13:33

It's not so much of a conspiracy. Like it's it's it's just manipulation. Like, I'm not gonna say like I'm not gonna be one of those people that marijuana is like the all-time, you know, it's like the number one or whatever. Like, it's like uh health, whatever.

SPEAKER_01 13:48

I am. No, here's what I'll say. All the all the all the you can you can study all the different studies that you can against it, and you'll find studies that will probably be a 180 argument uh against those those those those conclusions. So there there's there's and then you could say that of almost everything on the internet at this point. There's people who will tell you that caffeine is terrible for you, and then there'll people that will say it will unlock parts of your brain and it'll help you. So there's so many different things that are they will say yay or nay. At this point, I'm gonna stick with something that human beings have been consuming for thousands of years, and only since the past eighty years, hundred years has it been demonized because of all the things we discuss on this podcast to begin with. It's been demonized only because of the the people who are demonizing it now are the same people who are their their grandfathers and great-great-grandfathers were the same people who were demonizing it back then. Yeah, it's and it it's so for me, I I I I only go from my own personal experience with cannabis, which has been for since I was 16 years old. And some of that weed in Chicago that I was smoking, I'm sure was not the highest of quality. Right? Or even some of the weed that I first started smoking when I first started growing, when I first started coming here, and and when I moved here, and also when I first started growing. My the weed that I first started when I first started, my first couple of harvests were not great. But now, where I am now, where I'm at now is a is you know I mean I am at a point now where I can even I am not I I do not hesitate to call myself a cannabis guru. Someone who knows a lot about cannabis and has has experienced a lot within his own body and even within my mom who who passed away recently, like the last three weeks of her life. And I've said I know I've probably said this story a couple times in the past couple episodes, just because it's you know, just rec happened recently, but my mom stopped taking all the cancer drugs and she was just like, give me the cannabis oil. That's all I want, because it's the only thing that makes me feel better. And so I only go for my own personal, you know, my own personal uh interactions with this plant and with this this medicine because it's been a medicine for thousands of years, but it's also been a medicine in my life for my whole life. So for me, I'm always gonna defend it and I'm always gonna I'm I'm gonna be at a point with it where well I mean that's why we have this podcast, right? That's why I grow it every day and I and every day in the morning, you know, like the reason why I bring up the article about about the older people moving towards growing versus spending money, and and especially because I know as my myself as an older person, I don't like to deal with all the bullshit. You we've had conversations about how there are things that we will do in in our in in in the entertainment industry, and then there's some things I'm just like, I'm good. I'd rather just chill at home.

SPEAKER_06 17:03

Yeah, I and then that's how go ahead. No, no, that that's how I feel about marijuana. Like for my own personal view for myself too. Um I enjoy the plant a lot. I like what it does for me. Uh I like how it makes me feel. Yeah. Um what I don't like is the stigma that is still surrounding it.

SPEAKER_01 17:23

Um it's horrible. But it at the same time, it's a stigma that's only been around for, like I said, a hundred years, not even a hundred years.

SPEAKER_06 17:29

Like, I wish I could be just like completely outright open with it, you know, but I always have to I always have to temper myself because there's like certain situations where it's like I don't want everyone knowing that I do this all the time. You know, like if people want to get to know me well enough, they'll they'll be like, oh, he smokes, you know. But sure.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Uh I don't and and and I think with like like any medicine, you know, like there there are people who are on blood pressure medicine that aren't about to like tell people that they meet on the street, oh I'm about to take this this drug, you know what I mean? Like it it's not necessarily something that that's your personal thing that you do for yourself to make yourself feel better. So you don't have to necessarily share that with everybody that you meet and be public about it. I am I am a public advocate for it because I'm I'm a grower and I do all the things. Uh you don't have to be as public as me, and a part of the reason why you are my partner in this podcast is because you can provide that different point of view because I am a different, you know. If you go for me, I'm I'm I'm too liberal when it comes to this stuff. Like I said, I'm a I I I look at myself as growing into becoming a really like a cannabis guru and someone to go to and ask how to grow good weed and how to, you know, am I there yet? Of course not. Life is a journey, but yeah, like I'm not every seed you plant is a journey.

SPEAKER_06 18:48

But I'm a not uh like I'm a not so secret pothead, you know, like a lot of people look at me.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

So you're the first Filipino American to hold a bomb on national television. You're you're you're uh uh that's his smoke, maybe his smoke, I don't know, but don't tell me if you do. That's basically what it is, right?

SPEAKER_06 19:06

It's like just I just don't do it in front of certain people, that's all. Your mom. Well like anyone anyone in my family.

SPEAKER_01 19:13

Because your mom, I we know your mom doesn't listen to this podcast, that's why we can talk about it.

SPEAKER_06 19:17

She's probably heard it at some point. I like she probably like my honestly, my mom probably knows, but out of respect, I just don't say anything, and she appreciates that.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

I'm pretty sure. And again, my my interaction with my mom, and even now my dad, like because now my dad, it's great because I can sit back there in the backyard in the Buddha Lounge and Backyard Buddha Lounge with the where where we will have the tasting parties, which we just had another tasting party again today about uh of of your of your favorite of the of the strains. Um but I I I want to go back to um uh the the the uh uh the story about uh older and and and and and elderly folk that don't want to deal with the dispensary anymore and they're growing their own. Because part of it too is the joy of gardening. And how I mean they talk about how like there are certain chemicals that are released uh that create endorphins and all these different things that reactions in your brain that make you feel good when you're digging your fingers through the soil, when the chemicals get underneath your fingernails and you get dirt underneath your fingernails, there's a chemical reaction in your brain that releases good vibes and goods. I I I I'm not a scientist, so I don't know the I'm not a scientist. Good vibes. No, but no, but it releases good good chemicals in your brain because of the chemical reactions that you're that that are are happening in the soil underneath your fingernails. And it's releasing serotonins and all these different things that make you feel good in your brain. It's it it's a natural thing, it's what our bodies were supposed to do. And so I I I do feel like there's a lot of people who are not only getting happiness from growing their own cannabis in just the start, the a the state of or just the act of growing, but also the satisfaction of again, I and I've said it throughout this podcast, man. You are never gonna smoke weed better than the weed that you grew from seed. Oh my god, I just rhymed some shit. Oh no, but you are never gonna smoke better weed than the weed that you grew from seed. Right. I get like, yeah, I feel that. Because you're so connected to it. You saw it from as you it's like it's like it's like your kid. And then you cut it down and you dry it and you smoke that kid, and it's the best kid you ever smoked. See, you have it, you know what I mean? Like it's it's amazing because you have a connection with it.

SPEAKER_06 21:45

You have more of an appreciation for it, right? Like, I think um it's not just uh it's not just a generational thing. Like the reason I don't tell my you know, like my my family, like why I don't smoke or why I smoke or whatever. Like I don't I don't like broadcast it. But it's also as as a Filipino, it's it's a cultural thing. That's why we have this podcast. Yeah, because I I grew up in LA, like I grew up around it, right? Like you grew up with dealers in your college, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:13

Listen to old podcasts, he tells the stories.

SPEAKER_06 22:16

No, but this is this is it it was somewhat normalized here, right? Sure. And then like you get Philippines, right? Like you get Filipinos from the Philippines. Uh not too long ago, if you had weed on you, you could get shot.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

Yeah, and now they're legalizing it. Right. Now medical marijuana's basically on the move to be legalized in the Philippines. And I don't know, though it's it's a mess over there. Like uh it's a mess over there anyway. They just de declared a state of the emergency because they don't have any gas. Yeah, yeah. So it's it's it's it's a shit show. And it's you know, and but it is you get what you vote for. And it d in the same way that we are getting what we vote for. Because y all of that stuff, all of the stuff that's happening is all a distraction for the fact that this fool is in the Epstein files 36,000 times. And we don't need to get political too crazy. So I I will digress from this tirade and this rant because I could go on a rant if I wanted to, but I'm not going to because my brain is eased by cannabis. And I easily transition to a grow update from the Buddha Lounge. What's up? You see that nice smooth transition from almost bitching about Trump to transitioning to the Buddha Lounge update? I think you just nullified it though, but like doubling back.

SPEAKER_06 23:29

I know.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

I know. But it's okay. Let's go back, let's go grow update at the Buddha Lounge. So last we we talked about the Buddha Lounge. I was just recovering from the death of like five of the six plants in one tent. Uh, and it was on week two of the flowering of that process, and only one plant survived all of this.

SPEAKER_06 23:51

Just remember, it's not last week. We were doing everything.

SPEAKER_01 23:54

No, this is like last month.

SPEAKER_06 23:56

Like last episode.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Last episode. Did I say last week? Yeah. Well, last episode. Okay. You can edit any of this up in the session. Or you or you don't. Oh, don't. Don't don't. It doesn't really matter. No, but no, no, but we we we talked about how we were I had I had recovered because of the perpet perpetual and always be cloning. Yeah. I remember that's how we closed out the episode of always be cloning. And and and it's true, and that is something that has been true for the whole time. But now all those clones are now growing, and they're like at week four or five of flower. You have a lot of chicken and waffles. I have I have six plants of chicken and waffles, and I have a few plants of Yoda Nana, and I have a and I have one limes that I had cloned, and I'm not I'm not actually I'm not too sure about the clone because the leaves keep yellowing on the edges. And the and the leaves are ed uh the leaves are yellowing on the edges even in the clone. So I'm I'm almost thinking I might have cloned the bad mother and now I might just plant new seeds of the limes because that limes, like we were saying before, you know, I talked I I started talking about the old folks and gardening and how much I love it and how much it has helped me in my life. But like that limes is some of the freshest, most delicious weed I have ever smoked in my life.

SPEAKER_06 25:18

It's good, it's a really good batch. Like uh that's probably one of the you should have like a Buddha Lounge Hall of Fame. Uh like you can throw the limes up there, you could throw the jack up there.

SPEAKER_01 25:31

Uh as long as you don't call it the Oh, by the way, I thought of something to do um for for another episode is I still have some jack. You want to smoke we we it's it's like now it's been uh um curing in the fridge for like six months now. So I mean that stuff, and it's there's you know, not a not a lick em you know not a lick of uh what is it? What's the what's the word? Mold. There you go, that's the word. Yeah, there's there there's I I I haven't seen mold. I forgot what the fuck how what the fuck it was called. That's how long I haven't seen mold, guys. Because I lost no, because I I I just had to replace my my my uh my little mini fridge in the booty lounge that I store all my weed in because my my I keep my weed in the fridge and it stays fresh as hail and it is delicious and it stays the flavor stays and it's it's wonderful. I keep it in my little mini fridge and I I burned out I burned out this like the third mini fridge that the booty lounge has burned out, but I got a brand new one and it you know I I will not store my weed in any other place because there is one thing that no matter what strain that I grow when you first taste that weed, there's one word that that I get always besides wow that's really loud when you take it out of the bag. But also like if you haven't been smelling weed, like I smell weed all the time in the in the Buddha lounge, and then you like if I go somewhere and then I pull that out of a bag, that shit hits your face. It's pretty loud. And so then but also when they start smoking it like holy cow, that's fresh. Because it tastes there's a certain freshness to all the strains because of how I store it.

SPEAKER_06 27:21

Yeah, it doesn't have that it doesn't have that harsh, um it doesn't it doesn't make you cough as much. Like you're you'll cough because it's weed, but I mean Yeah, you'll cough because your bong head was so big that you'll cough. But it doesn't taste like dry or musty or anything like that, you know, like no, it burns a little bit slower.

SPEAKER_01 27:40

It's it's really nice. And and I have to say, man, I I've never and will never smoke better weed than the weed that I grow myself. I'm gonna be very snobby about weed at this point because I have enough of my own that I don't ever have to smoke anybody else's.

SPEAKER_06 27:59

Like I I think that's so out of okay, so uh what I've been smoking, I've had the Yoda Nana, the Pluto cookies, the chicken and waffles, the limes. You didn't even start the mango sherbet then, did you? I started that yesterday.

SPEAKER_01 28:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 28:16

Like it's still wet. Yeah, it's still wet, yeah. Like I I moved can like I moved it from a glass jar to a different type of container because um It dries faster. It dries faster. But pretty much what I've been doing with all your weed is uh just because I don't have too many containers and like I'd rather have them just like all in one. So like I've been it like I've been having weed cocktails. Like I know what's what because I could tell I could tell by the look and the feel. And the smell and the smell. But like you just put it all in one big bowl and just yeah, and like I know which one, and like for me, it's it's it's a little entertaining.

SPEAKER_01 28:53

He's testing himself, that's what it is.

SPEAKER_06 28:54

He's no, yeah, like it it like sometimes uh sometimes the combination like it'll just be like oh yeah, I'm I'm Mellow, and then sometimes the combination's like oh the the synergy on this thing is crazy.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

I I I seldom mix, but you know, I've also been rolling a lot of uh um barrelmen. Barrel men. Yeah. I love them. I love them so much because especially after uh the One Piece season two uh and all the scenes with Smoker. Yeah, I I want to do two barrelmen now at a time. Just have 'em. Just have them. Just have a bunch of barrelmen strapped to my jacket. I'll pass alligator. No, but it you know, and then and oh, you know what I want what I really wanted to talk about? What? Uh today? What's that? Frenchie. Oh, you got your tattoo, yeah. That's right. Yeah, my uh, because uh if you look on our Instagram, you'll see I'm getting a tattoo. And just to explain it, because I have it, I think there's a track that says if you know, you know. And I tag Frenchie Cannoli in the video because Frenchie Cannoli is an old hash guy, and I watched a lot of Frenchie Cannoli's videos on YouTube, which are still available now. If you are listening to this and you want to learn how to make hash like Frenchie Cannoli, I just followed the steps of what he did. And he has a very thick French accent, and he's one of the guys who basically taught everyone how to make hash in the in the cannabis industry. And so I got his logo tattooed on my wrist. So when I smoke a joint, or if I smoke anything, you see it, and it's the first thing you see on my wrist when you smoke. But it looks like kind of like a skull, uh a skull also, but it's actually what it is is a zoomed-in trich. So there's like one of those little beads at the end of your bud, and it's a zoomed in, because that's what he wanted to grab, because all the all hash is is just a bunch of clumped up tricombs. And that's so that's my I I I got my got my first weed tattoo. We get it, Eric. You smoke pot. Shit. You're listening to the can of No, but I I just I I got that and and I I I thought it was a uh I enjoyed that. I went, but I wanted to mention it on the podcast because you know it's a it's a it's a cannabis-related item, if you know. So if you listen to the podcast or you know that that's Frenchie Cannoli's logo, then you know what it is. But if you don't, then it's a skull.

SPEAKER_06 31:29

For the longest time, Eric was talking about Frenchie cannoli, and I was like, what kind of fucking dessert is that?

SPEAKER_01 31:36

You better show respect, bro. That's the dude that when we when we smoked that hash that that I made, that that was because of him, and he taught me how to do that shit. And I I didn't even I haven't even done I there there's I'm cuz that'll bring me into another part of the Budai Lounge outdate. I cut down those two outdoor um plants that had been flowering outdoor in the greenhouse, um, and they're drying right now. I was it was uh BBC I'm cross with vanilla frost. It was like it was a seedling that wasn't doing well in the tent, but it was big, so I just put it out in the greenhouse, and then it started flowering in the past the it's been flowering for the past two months. Okay, and so then the crystals on it were pretty much you know white, so I just cut it. And then there was another very small chicken and waffles that cloned that I just put out there because it didn't look, it wasn't doing well in the in the thing, but it wasn't dying, so I didn't want to kill it, so I just planted it in one of the pots in the greenhouse, and it did it did okay. It it flowered out and you know it's it's it's literally like this big, so maybe it'll maybe have an ounce of chicken and waffles, but it was outdoor grown, so it'll be a nice uh precursor to the the clones that I planted out here now in the spring, and and we can see what what happens because I know that those are gonna be much bigger, and I don't think they're gonna flower. They're not gonna they're gonna have enough sun to where they're gonna kind of stay vegging, you know, through until the fall. Because those will probably stay there. I would I'm hoping that they don't start to flower until after you know, until August. Because then it'll be like your traditional, because it's the spring. So I put them out there in the spring, and hopefully they're just big veg plants and they stay getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and then but that's the experiment. That's that's always the that's the figuring out when that is in the greenhouse versus when you can just control it and determine it in the in the in the tents.

SPEAKER_06 33:47

It's exciting though. Alright, like it's cool to to to follow. You like the thing that uh I I noticed uh when Eric was showing me the plants today, it's just um just the amount of clones. It really that really that really kind of I was like, oh okay, you you managed to make a good amount of clones.

SPEAKER_01 34:08

Um well and also bro, I don't I want to save my seeds because cannabis and CBD and like we talked about in the last episode, it's still in question and will be in question until and if ever a president and or a Congress andor part of this government decides to get their act together and legalizes this plant because it could be the driving force, uh maybe not the f the only answer, but one of the answers in I mean, there's so many things that can it was one of the things what that are the people who came here over in Europe when they were colonizing this part of the country, or when they were colonizing America, it was something that farmers were they were supposed to grow it, they had to grow it, they had to sign contracts to make sure that they grew a certain number of hemp plants because they use it in so many things from the cotton uh I'm sorry, from the the fabric that you can make from hemp, the the hemp crete, which is highly unflammable and it and a lot lighter than concrete. Uh all the different things that this plant can help and solve in our economy, if only we would stop listening to a handful of white dudes who were paid by a guy who owned a paper mill on the West Coast and didn't want to lose out on on logging from all the paper that was made from hemp versus the paper that he was making from wood.

SPEAKER_06 35:44

It's more sustainable, it's definitely more sustainable because like hemp, like the the crops grow back everywhere, like even hemp oil.

SPEAKER_01 35:52

Like there's so many things that can be done with these plants that we can use in our economy to substitute other things that are hurting us. It's this pl I and I'm not saying that cannabis is the end-all be-all to everything, but it can be a big part of a green economy where where it's uh where it's uh you know, where we're you know, people like us are not on the outskirts, but a big part of an economy that's flourishing with you know, like I said, like you said, a very sustainable resource. Yeah, it could definitely have so many different uses.

SPEAKER_06 36:36

Yeah, it could definitely provide jobs for people. And I've I've had hemp clothing. It's not bad.

SPEAKER_01 36:43

I like it. I like I I feel like I it's it's just it's just as soft as some of the nicest cotton that I've had. Because, you know, I've I I will buy an expensive t-shirt now and again and and feel the difference. But yeah, the hemp t-shirts are nice, they're fine. And hemp pants are some of the most breathable pants I have ever. They are nice, they are comfortable. Because I have a pair of uh hemp yoga pants that I used to wear when I when I would do uh when I would do uh what's it called? Uh that's hot yoga. I didn't do Pilates. When when I would do hot yoga, I don't want to call it bikrum yoga because the guy beakeram was weirdo. But but yeah, no, I used to do hot yoga and and you wear those hemp pants and they would soak up the sweat real good, and they were also they were almost like dry fit, but it was hemp. It was great. And I feel like they will they will revolute they will do some shit with this hemp fabric and make it even more comfortable than before if they use it. I'm saying, man, I like I'm just another pothead who thinks that we can solve a lot of world other worlds' problems, but when when you look at the studies and you look at all the different things that are happening with cannabis and all the different things that all the medical discoveries that they are finding out about this plant, when they further study the endocannabinoid system and it and the effects of can uh cannabis and all the different cannabinoids, whether it's THC or THCA or all the other different compounds that are in this plant, there's the you unlock a lot of possibilities, man, because it's been a like I said, it's been a it's been a medicine since that like there were Chinese emperors. Right? Wasn't there a Chinese emperor who was buried with a whole bunch of weed? Yeah, there was how I want to go to that.

SPEAKER_06 38:30

I I think there was something recently about uh cavemen. They found uh they found pipes.

SPEAKER_01 38:39

And also they talk about psilocybin with cavemen and how it expanded our cerebral cortex. Yeah. And those that ate the mushrooms evolved into humans, and the ones that didn't stayed cavemen. So I am not a caveman, I am a human with a big cerebral cortex.

SPEAKER_06 39:01

You tell yourself that, Eric. That's that's Eric's daily affirmation.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

No, it's my I'm I'm I'm trying to expand my cerebral cortex and take advantage of this high as much as possible.
