I just feel like any relations to the Kazan's of

the movie industry, absolutely not. But it's related to Shazam.
And he moves fast, folks, because I believe he was

a pleasure to have you on the show and l

(03:19):
a boy born and raised and doing very well out here,
uh in southern California with this brand. I want to
touch all about the brand in your history and as
I pointed out your basketball history, I find it intriguing
that you played Division one college hoops at USC correct.
I mean, I want to start there. There's nothing better

(03:40):
than a good looking white boy out there on the
basketball court as the number one. I mean, you think
of the Steve Nashes that are bringing the ball down,
and then you think of Kazan Kyle bring it down.
You know, only if the coach felt the same way,
you did the nut the same way as well as well,
That's all I'm like. If you remember my career, it

(04:01):
means you ate your whole bucket of popcorn. Well, you know,
he'd beating a sports guy and being an l a
a guy. I do remember some of it and hearing
some of it as I did. Some of the history
and working with Petros and everybody else over there at
five seven, even though it was a u c l
A station, But you know, we covered all sports and
watching that. So you're a legacy within the community here
in southern California and now a legacy in the cannabis community.

(04:24):
But let's start and go back the history of Kyle.
I mean you the beginning. Yeah, you start off and
it's real estate. If I'm not mistaken, that started your
whole ventures? Are are? What was it for you? So?
So after I was done at USC now mind you,
seventh place in the pack ten back then, that's right, Uh,

(04:46):
seventh place. We had six guards on the team. Three
went to the NBA. Now you can guess which one
of them wasn't that's the one sitting here next to
cannabis talk, right, But h we actually had some really
good players on the team. One of the guys won
the NBA Slam Dunk Contest twice. Who's that got named
Harold minor Harold back a little bit? They called him
baby Jordan, didn't they? Mark? I know, man, I know

(05:09):
you may not have known his question. I knew that.
I love that. Thank you for realized he didn't know
but so you're graduating from there and what happened. So
my wife's like, what what shirt? She was my girlfriend
back then. What do you major? I'm like history because
I gotta travel. I want to do business. But I'm

(05:30):
a d D. I like history. She's like, you'd be
a teacher. I'm like, there's no fin way I'm gonna
be a teacher. So then after graduating, I was a teacher. Well,
thank you for your service. So I found out I
would get an extra seventy five bucks a day if
I would go into South central Los Angeles for hazard pay.
So I'm like seven five bucks same kids, I don't.

(05:52):
I'm in kids are kids that are kids are kids.
They called it hazard pay, they called it hazard pare
going to where south Central? So I'm teaching down there,
right next to Jordan Downs Housing projects, right now, next
to L A. Jordan High. April two city went nuts,
blew up the city with the Rodney King Riots. I'm
right in the middle of it. And you mentioned for
a second white boy guy on the basketball for a

(06:15):
little different also, Middle South Central and Riot not placed
to be just a little little tough for you guys.
I'm here to help let's go. That's right. I have
my n w A tape going. It was all good. Yeah,
that's all you got to do, play little public enemy
and w A and drove myself out of the hood quick,
very quick, especially during that time. So so you're there,

(06:36):
you're teaching. Then when does the real estate really get you?
So about the time I started seeing my paycheck and
I said, okay, this is not working. Uh, this is
not a long term plan for vacations in Hawaii, things
like that. So the early nineties we were having all
kinds of problems the economy. So I took a seminar
and I started buying foreclosed apartments or first houses, then apartments,

(06:58):
and it was basically by the fixed hit sell it,
and slowly I built up a nice little portfolio. I
doubled my salary and actually, according to my wife, took
a safer job and became a police officer. So well,
the white guy becomes the cop. Now from the cop,
Hey guys, remember me, officer Kazan. Now where did this happen?

(07:20):
So that was I left and I became a police officer.
I never touched a gun up and I show up
and they're like, what's your favorite gun. I'm like duck hunt. Yeah. So,
um so they taught me, you know, they gave me
a gun. They taught me how to shoot. And uh
it's twenty seven, so a little older at the time.

(07:41):
How long I was it? Six months? Eight months, six
months of training. It's months of the academy, about two
freeway exits from the from here in the Orange County
Sheriffs and then uh, seven months of having a field
training officer and all that. So it's like over a
year of training. And so many people got washed out.
They were like crazy about now you're not the right guy,

(08:02):
You're not the right you know, right. So yeah, so
I made it through, you know, the salmon up stream,
and I doubled my salary and by then now I'm
you know, I own a little bit more real estate.
I'm working graveyard and most of the problems that the
apartment buildings that I was buying, because I would always
buy distress were you know, a gang took it over
or people are all on drugs or both. Then you

(08:23):
get the double. You want the double. And so I
would just like I'm sitting to you. I would just
go sit down with them and talk and like, look,
I could. I was trained. I could. You know, Mark,
I know you're rolling sixties gang member because this tattooed
on your head, there's a sixty on your forehead and uh.
And so I would basically just sit and just say, listen,

(08:44):
I don't have a problem with you. You don't have
a problem to me. We're all we're good guys. Let
me just put some money in your hand. Why don't
you do what you do somewhere else and I'll do
what I do here and we'll all be good. And
that worked almost all the time, because really I wasn't scared,
just go sitting in someone's living room and just have
a talk. And so then uh, hedge fund guy who
was a family friend came and said, hey, what's you
know to my dad? What's your son doing? He's like,

(09:04):
he's buying these apartments all over the place. And so
he was like, well, I just got done advising George
Sorrows to know who that was, and the Eastern Block,
which just fell. I'd like to do something. Maybe we
could do something together. And so I said, nothing ventured,
nothing gained, and we started buying big apartment complexes, starting
in southern California. First in the South Bay of l A.
Then it was Orange County, then it was Texas, then

(09:27):
it was China, then it was Germany, and so we
pretty much blew that up pretty well. And I started
a management company after five years on the on the
job just so I could pay my mortgage and my
wife wouldn't kick me out of the house. So I
had a job. And that little company started with tune
in fifty units today has over ten thousand years in
your management. It's just like a boring, blocking, and tackling business.

(09:48):
When I say boring, it's the one that when someone
calls because their heater is not working or the toilets
clogged or whatever, and the family has COVID are people
go in there and fix it and handle it. So
they're really brave a lot a lot of people. But
because of all those investments, um I was able to
make money for people. And so when I had this
crazy idea about why don't we invest in cannabis? And

(10:10):
when was that? What year was this? So I was
looking heavily in two thousand fortune I was going to
Denver a lot. For some reason, I found myself in Denver.
But well, they did go illegal. First, they did go
illegal first, and I was buying weed. You guys are
you guys were not a little little inside secret about policing.

(10:32):
You only catch the dumb ones. We know we represent
him well, so um yeah. And so we tried to
make it work in Colorado's trying to find an opportunity,
but the lawyers said they don't want outside of Colorado money.
And now you're gonna get into gray And I was like,
you know, this is federally illegal, and who knew where

(10:55):
I was going to go. So I said, I'm gonna
go back to Cali. It's where I'm from, It's where
weed is from. Let's do it there. And so two
thousand fifteen, sixteen is where we started just putting our
toe into the water. And I was able just on
the goodwill of making money in the past and being honest.
People were willing to take a chance. And that's that's
literally what started. And in two thousand fifteen, did you

(11:15):
actually come up with Glasshouse brand's name or what was
the first process? Well, and it wasn't even here yet
in terms of adult use in two thousand fifteen. That
didn't come until well, it started two thousand and sixteen.
They voted and then as you know, everything, so that's
what I want to get into. So you made this
decision to get into it before it actually went adult

(11:36):
use legal, it was just it was just medicinal under
the cooperatives, and you just had to have much that
it's gonna become legal and you're gonna put all these
chips in there, and it's a lot of money to
be putting investment into something. So the thought process, yeah,
how does that share that? So so we're so knock
on wood. I've never lost money in any of my
real state investments, not one so far in all these

(11:57):
thirty years. And part of that is I get a
aggressive when everybody's scared. As you know, Uncle Warren says,
be brave when everyone else is scared. Be scared when
everybody else is is greedy. And so whenever there's like
a capital dislocation or people don't want to put money in,
that's the time where I'm most interested. Like right now

(12:17):
worldwide in real estate, people can't put enough money into it,
and that's the most dangerous time. And so when I
looked at this, I was like, I've made a lot
of money during those crazy times when everyone's scared, like
oh nine ten, and now I'm looking at this going
so it's federally legal. You can't get any banks, there's
no investment banks. It's like, where are you gonna go
get money? Don't do it? What the hell are you thinking?

(12:43):
So that we had that conversation what do you do
in Denver? And and and the hard part was we'd
actually built up a nice little thing together and so
we're living well. But I said, you know, I've been
an outspoken legalizer since about two thousand seven, and I
was about ending the war on drugs, So using my
participation in the drug war, where I was a drug

(13:05):
warrior and became once I was in the system, I
became disenchanted by the system, and so when I left,
I just started doing business. But then I was asked
what do I think about the American drug war? And
I go, so, war on poor people, that's what that is.
And so I basically still look, you guys can look cross,
you can see I'm so still compish. Look. But so
I would go on as the counterpoint in the media

(13:26):
on CNN, on Fox things like that and basically say
don't listen, don't let them scare you. It's total bullshit.
It's this is this is not fair, it's the wrong thing.
It's the worst, second worst policy, and i'd state has
ever had, right behind slavery. So um. So what was
interesting was that was what when I wanted to look
into cannabis. Most of the people that were under the

(13:48):
prop to fifteen that you just described, Mark, they didn't
want to talk to anybody that looked like this at all.
Even looking like that. How would you deal with it
when you were a cop? I mean, did you because
two thousand seven year sitting there advocating for cannabis, weren't
you a around that time as well? Now I left,
so I was gone, so beforehand you had to have
some type of love for it. Though to be such
an advocate in two thousand and seven, it's not like
it just came over not or maybe it did. But

(14:09):
my point is, how did you look at it when
you're a police officer? You know? The interesting thing was
they hired me and I admitted that I had smoked
smoke pot, So I looked at it as not that
big of a deal. It was just part of the
culture here in California. It was a stupid law. My
focus was mainly methamphetamine. In the city I worked in,
there was you know, people are tweaked out a lot,
and so that was my main focus. Did I make

(14:31):
a couple of pot arrests? I did, and they were
like stupid stories where someone just kind of put it
in my face. There. One guy was driving down the
street with a plant straight up and at a red light.
I looked at when cannabis goes bad story And when
I looked at him, and I looked at him, and
he saluted me, and I'm like, you didn't even law,
like you could have laid down instead. Everybody this signal
is looking at me like I'm a complete before and

(14:53):
again I only arrest the dumb ones and you just
came into my life. Yeah, I don't care if you
smell like we just don't come. Don't don't show me
the week come on. Like literally, if I had driven
by and I saw it in there, I would have
been like, like you couldn't put a blanket or but
it wouldn't have been in my face. And everybody else,
you know, the mom with the stroller like pointing at me,
what are you gonna do about this? So it was,

(15:15):
but I didn't really care that much about marijuana. But
I'll tell you you talked about two fifteen. I voted
for it. I'm a police officer. It passed. I knew
nothing about it, and I see a guy riding down
the street on a bicycle and he's got a big
jar of weed, and it was like at that time,
that's like a felony amount. And I was like, what
the hell is going on? So I I kind of
point him like, hey, could you pull over? And I

(15:36):
like talked to him like what are you doing? He's like,
skinny is a Reeli goes, I have bone cancer. This
is the only thing that helps me. I didn't know
his medicinal. But you were medicating. You didn't even know it.
I didn't even know it. I was making myself at right.
So when he was talking to me, I just said, hey, man,
you maybe just snowing me. I don't even know. But

(15:57):
most of this department taking to jail right now. I'm
not in too. I'm just asking you to can you
invest in a brown paper back backpack? Back? Yeah? You know,
I'm not asking you to put it in your pants.
Runy there, that's not prison rules. I'm just saying, don't
put it out there because it forces you know, people
are going to call on you in this city. So um,
but they gave us no training whatsoever. I know. Yeah,

(16:21):
that's why was such a ship show for all these
brave people that were that were trying to actually provide medicine.
Because later I did learn, you know, when my wife
had cancer and all of a sudden, like holy, most
start to hear that is that what happened? Huh, she's good,
she's good. But yeah, yeah, in two thousand, she uh,
she was diagnosed, and that's when I learned all about
the medicinal aspect. So at two thousand, that's when you

(16:41):
start figuring it out. Two thousand and seven, you become
an advocate because of your wife's diagnosis. No, I was.
I was when I had left the police department. I
was just kind of done with the drug war. In fact,
the last year of my career, I just I was
not into the drug war anymore. It was, you know,
I had a close family member go to Betty Ford
for prescription medica medication, and I became you know, I

(17:03):
had relationships with my informants, and I all of a
sudden went from this is just a drug addict to
you know, this is Bob, and Bob is texting. You're
actually not texting paging, sorry everybody. And these weren't bad people.
They were people that all I had to provide with

(17:25):
jail and they wanted help. And then I'm like going,
wait a minute, I'm out here to try and help people,
and all I'm doing is hurting this person. And so
I basically, you know, my arrest stats went way way
down on drugs because I just said, this is stupid
and it's a waste of resources. And what was interesting
is one of one of the good look at that,
and then I left, that's on this show. That's exactly

(17:50):
the same story, right, every single one. You know, I
think I think at the end of the day, you're
just you're enforcing the laws of legislature puts on the books.
It's behooves us as a citizenry. Even though Chuck Schumer
doesn't seem to be listening, um or Corey Booker. We
need to change the game. It's terrible. And what was
interesting I joined Law Enforcement Against Prohibition now their Law

(18:11):
Enforcement Action partnership, and was all about ending the drug war.
And so I would always speak at least twice a month,
and I said, I don't want any payment. It's my
penance for participating in the drug war. I want to
educate people and I want to talk to him. And
and so what what happened was the the benefit of

(18:31):
that was when I started looking at this as a business,
people would take meetings with me because they could go
to this crazy invention called YouTube and they'd see that, hey,
he's fighting for us, he's on the right side and um.
And so people were willing to talk to me and
then ultimately do business with me. And as you now
become this big business multi state operating greenhouse brands that

(18:52):
comes about. Is that clear in two thou fifteen? Is
that when you say what was the first company that
led to this greenhouse brand? You know, we we started
a p investment fund, which was anti prohibition investment fund,
and we bought a Roseanne bar was funding a story
that was gonna be called Roseanne's Joint. It ran out

(19:13):
of money. She was about four clothes. We bridged it.
We opened it up and called it budd and Bloom
down in Santa Ana. And so we opened that up.
That's it's it's it's me. This is a collective of
smart people and um, and the one guy who has
a kid's ford. So it's not the one guy who
says it's that, it's that guy. I'm partners with that guy. Um,

(19:36):
a little short guy, right, Chris is that his name
was the guy's name that I remember meeting somebody from
Bud and Bloom anyhow. Yeah, but there's a there's a
great team down there. And so now it's pharmacy Santa Anna.
So we changed the name UM and we bought a
I became a limited partner with four other people in
a grow in Santa Barbara. And turned out that the
general partner hadn't been wasn't totally straight with us all.

(19:59):
And uh, the guy is that were put the deal
together where our tenants were criminals. One guy was a
Disparred attorney who represented on YouTube that he was a
Mark was no, it wasn't my brother. It was Mark,
but it wasn't. And and Dispard attorney who on YouTube
city represented I know you could represent Disparred, but night,

(20:23):
oh brother. Um, and so it was so there was
some untangling of that and because of my past days
of sitting down with people that had some difficult backgrounds
and you know, we would just find ways to bridge,
and so I end up exit and them taking over
the general partnership, and that went into the first ap fund.
That those two things, and from then it was like

(20:45):
people liked what we were doing and we we partnered
with some good folk and and from there it just built.
But that the first glass House Farms, the jars there
started coming out of that hundred fifty thousand square foot facility,
and that we're gonna hear where it's gone to and
what it's become, because it's huge. I can't wait for
you guys to hear how many acres that they have

(21:07):
out there, how many hundreds and thousands of acres that
we're going to describe you When we come back, it's
Cannabis Talk one on one, all the way live with
Kyle Kazan, the founder of Glasshouse Brands. We'll be right
back after this. We'll be right back with Cannabis Talk
one oh one. Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one oh one.

(21:35):
And somebody pull out the flowers please because we've got
a date going on in here. Go ahead. Mark brings back.
Welcome back to Cannabis Talk one oh one. Your world's
source for number one cannabis. WHOA, Welcome to the show.
Mark your world source, h your number one? I've got
I've got so much going on in my head. Are
you tell you know what? Let me tell you this

(21:56):
Viscous Vape the ultimate cannabis vapis variance. Viscous is a
premium vape brand born in Venice Beach, delivering the maximum
potency you can expect from the Viscous brand. Live the
Ride with the most pleasant tasting, ultrapotent and super smooth
cartridges on the market. The whip website is viscous dot

(22:21):
life so much on his mind and so much in
his glasses because you can't even read today either. The
guy is a mess. We're all the way live with
Kyle Kazan, the founder of Glass House Brands. Kyle, great story,
great uh, hearing about your personal life as well. Thank
you for being vulnerable to share about your wife with
with the cancer and this and the early two thousand's
and then finding this, as you said later in twenty

(22:45):
in the twenty thousands, of coming out with this brand,
you said twenty eighteen, was it that it that it
first started? So so I would say the brand probably
hit around but again it was like, what do we
call it? What? It took some time to germanate and
rocket seeds dot com, big plug, thank you for reading

(23:07):
the partners over and you said that a lot better
than he did. Now. Now, that process though, to get licensed, right,
that that insane, crazy process that starts with having to
get that city permit first, talk about talk about the hurdles,
talk about the frustrations and how long that took. Yeah, so, uh,

(23:27):
the general partner maybe actually watching this. Um, he's a
he's a cannabis lover. He said it was legal in
Santa Barbara County, if if and if and he was
wrong because I called the number two d A. I'm
tying you legal here watch join his perfect if only uh?
And so I called. I called a friend of mine
that was the number two d A in Santa Barbara

(23:48):
County and I said, this is what I've been told,
and he goes, uh, do you remember you were a
police officer law en court and how this works is
you buy stocking bridges in hell And I was like, okay.
So we actually helped get it legalized ourselves by hiring
a lobbyist, working with the politicians, educating him and uh
one of my co founders got named Graham for our

(24:09):
He was one of the founders of Sonos that you
may have on your phone for music. So super smart guy,
very popular in Santa Barbara. I hope you brought us
some speakers. I'll tell you what guy you buy the stock,
he will help you idea so um am I not
allowed to say that, but no. So it wasn't as

(24:29):
easy as just putting an application. We actually had to
help the county figure this out and it was a real,
real difficult uh time, but we did it. And it
was also for the benefit of so many other growers
because the flower market, as far as like gerber daisies
and stuff, was getting absolutely crushed. This brought new life
into that region and also new tax dollars into Santa

(24:50):
Barbara County. And not only that, you started off with
that first girl that you said you partnered up with.
And now let us know how big is your cultivation
right now? So so, and here's here's of thing because later,
well I'm hoping we're gonna talk about cannabis prisoners, non
violent cannabis prisoners serving ridiculous amount of time. I don't
want to forget that, because there's nobody you can name

(25:10):
in the history of the earth that has been a
tip of the spear like I am for a company
that owns six million square feet of greenhouse for cultivation
of canvas. It's not all up and running yet, but
we own it today and there has never been a
larger cultivation footprint ever. And I'm sitting here talking to you,

(25:30):
living my best life while people are rotting away in prison.
Lets you get them out and give them a job.
Let's get talking about what you just heard, Mark six. No,
that's amazing, and that's what first comes to my head
when you bring up the non violent offenders who are
sitting there. And one of the things I've always said,
why we won't see them released. What are you gonna

(25:52):
do with all these unemployed people? Well, cheese with six
million death to phil you guys growth, Let's get some jobs.
We need somebody to cut these things we need. So
let me put it this way. We would absolutely love that. Seriously,
we would absolutely love that we have. We're gonna need
tons of jobs. And by the way, you guys remember

(26:13):
everyone was talking about the Trump economy in two thousand
nineteen and it was booming and all that. The number
one job creator, the number one industry job creator in
two thousand. But it's still federally illegal. And if you think,
if he did a real good job, he could have
made it federally legal. And Joe and Mark, let me
just bring up a name, because it always helps to
personalize an issue when we talk about thousands of people. Nobody,

(26:34):
it's like, okay, thousands of people. Parker Coleman. He's about
thirty five years old. He has served ten years in
federal prison for a non violent cannabis offense. He has
fifty five year five zero to go. What how much
did you have on him? Do you remember? Do you
know that part? Far? Less than six million square feet?
What state? Like I got six million square feet of cannabis?

(26:56):
South Carolina is where it was. But he's but his
federal Oh, he's being housed in Texas. His mom and
dad live in South Carolina. They sometimes fly down there
and they're on there on lockdown. These aren't rich people.
She's a nurse and he's a military veteran. I mean,
by the way, does that sound any any any more
American than that? So and and I hate to bring
up the racial disparity. Oh no, we like I think

(27:19):
you mentioned my race a couple of times through basketball. Yes,
he's black, of course, and so this whole thing is outrageous.
So whenever I hear someone from Washington he talking about
equity and all this, think about Parker Coleman. Think about
him just trying to survive every day. Well, we are
literally having a great time right now, enjoying ourselves, and
we should be able to do that, and Parkers should
be sitting right next to us, working with us. So

(27:40):
all this type that you're talking about, Kyle and I
love it because I know there's something there. What are
you doing about it? I know you've got something of
your sleeve. What's the plan? What's the motion? What? What
are we doing to see? Because we always talk about
the war on drugs, We always talk about the social
injustice and Mark and I when I first met Mark.
I don't know if you're familiar with what Mark and
Craig do, the pot Brothers at Law with their script.

(28:00):
You know the scripts, uh rockets dot com? No close script.
Mark share the script right now for other people that
don't know it. It's the script. It's the only twenty
five words that you ever say to the cops when
you get pulled over? What do I say to a cop?
So here you could read I'll be the cop. We
actually we do this every Friday live on our Instagram

(28:21):
and at our performance seminars on stage with people pretending
we're the cop. We're pulling you over. So I'm the cop.
I pull you over and I say, hey, what's that
smell in your car? Why did you pull me over?
You were speeding? Now you got drugs in your car?
Tell me if there's drugs. I'm not discussing my day.
Are you gonna give me a hard time? Just tell
me where the drugs are. Maybe I'll let you go.
Like this, Am I being detained or am I free

(28:43):
to go? You're being detained. Now tell me where the
drugs are, and maybe I'll let you go. Mark, you
should have been my partner. Man. I love this. I
invoked the fifth and then you shut the fuck. That's it.
You don't say that. That's what you do when the
cops after you in the fifth When that being said,

(29:05):
that's what Mark and Craig I've been teaching everybody for
a long time and they've got very viral Thanks for
paying attention over there, Kyle said, Mark, I told them
for you. Don't worry. I got you very much. By
the way, you should have known that. That is great
literally the police. You know, look, I'm an affable person.
I can talk to people if if you're being detained

(29:26):
and being investigated, even though it doesn't feel like it,
like hey, if you didn't do anything wrong, just just
let me look in your car, you know, if you've
got nothing to hide, just let me do this. The
bottom line is just politely, exactly, this is a great script,
and just don't talk to the police. Just be nice
about it. So this is what they do. That being
sad as I'm leading to what you guys are doing.

(29:48):
We try and educate the cannabis community and the community
in general because that works. Or drink and drive whatever
it is that you're doing stupid, don't drink and drive,
but if you are, this script works for everything and anything.
And that being said, we always talk about and when
I first met Mark and crazy to the point of
my story, I used to feel like it wouldn't work
for me. I'm a minority. It wouldn't work for some

(30:08):
of us in this room, like my brother Pitt and
and Cash and Cal and you know, I mean some
of us we just look at each other getting like
Mark bullshit and me and Mark really had it out
and Craig when he first told me this because I'm like,
it doesn't work for us, And then the outcome was,
well it will. If the cops gonna beat your ass,
is gonna beat your ass anyways, period, we got a
better chance of getting you out of this altogether. So

(30:30):
my point is this is what you know we as
a community. Of course, the Pop Brothers at Law they
do it every Friday. Uh you know, look at their
I g at Pot Underscore Brothers Underscore at Under Underscore Law.
That is the script Challenge and they give away great
prizes for this as it stays the same. You can
find it on their website and everything else. But what
are you doing? So I'm telling you what we do

(30:50):
as well to educate the community. I hear that passion
about the story you're saying, and I love to hear
what you're doing about convicted prisoners with non offensive cannabis.
So I'm gonna let me just follow up one thing
you said. Everybody in this room and I see we've
got a nice diverse population in here now. For you know,
I never saw cops just lay into someone who said

(31:18):
take the Fifth, Marcus, like this bruise right here. But
when someone said I want my lawyer, I take the Fifth,
that means it's shut down, because if you go past that,
you're now exposing yourself personally and the city to liability.
So it's it's dead serious. And so if you just
polite and just say, look, I want to talk to
my lawyer, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

(31:39):
Fifth Amendment, lawyer. Those are the two buzzwords. And with
all these axiom body cameras here in California, everybody has
one that's being it's being filmed, so I would say
when they forget to turn it on, except when it's not.
But those are great too. But waited to comment on that, like,
so I wasn't it on if you have a So
so back to your other question, what I would tell

(32:00):
you is I, you know, I was on the board
of a cancer charity, um Um for a long time
and it's fantastic. And then when I met Weldon Angelos,
who was a federal prisoner for cannabis. He has an
incredible story, and I met him and I started to
talk to him and he has all kinds of he
was from the rap game. He actually got Snoop Dogg

(32:23):
and Um one of the Koch brothers on a zoom together.
This is a talented human being. He's a good human being.
And I said, Weldon, you are killing You've got people
out of prison. How do we work together? And what
he's not good at is raising money. He's great at
the hard stuff. This stuff that I've been good at
my whole career, whether it's in business or whether it's

(32:44):
for charity, is to go out there and connect people.
And so with all the rappers friends that have come
by my office just to meet me because of him.
You know, I was just talking. You know, Big Mike's
people just came on in here and there entrance and
he's like, hey, I want to talk to you because
I don't six million square feet and he his nutrients.
I see what you're thinking. Um, but I say, can

(33:05):
we use your house for this summer? We would like
to do a big fundraiser. And I there's gonna be
all kinds of rap talent there and let's really do
this right and Glass House to be there. So I
joined the board a mission green with Weldon and I said,
I'm this, this is my new passion. That's my charity, Glasshouse.
Glasshouse Brands given twenty five immediately to him and we're

(33:26):
gonna help him raise a lot more money. And I
personally am happy to go in. And I've said with
Parker Coleman is my guy. If the judge says, hey,
we need somebody that's going to guarantee a job and
a place to live. Even if my board of directors,
which I know they would, they would do the right
thing on this. But if they didn't, I said, I'll
do it personally because I still also in a real
estate company, so there's jobs somewhere, there is a job.

(33:46):
He will be game picking up a phone. This is
the right thing and I want to offer our services
Kyle to that board, meaning we want to be utilized
as a platform to help any of these prisoners hear
their story, help them express them else, using this platform
as a therapeutic platform for them to too if they
do come out and want to share their stories. We

(34:06):
are here for that purpose as well or anything else
that you can think of. You know, we're hurting two countries.
We're just advocates and helping people as well. So if
there's anything we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.
So I'm gonna ask, why don't you bring the studio
out there too to that day and meet with some
of the folks, some of the rappers. Well, where is
this that? And win it's gonna be a big Mike's

(34:28):
house because they think, well, considering that we just left
his office earlier today, something like that up. And you
know what we can do is we'll definitely work together
in that and we can definitely bring this to his
house and no matter what else we're doing, of course
we'll have we'll have a we'll have a blast. And
maybe you can smoke on camera because that's one of
my other pet peeves is hey we can so Mark

(34:50):
and Craig thank you for following them. By the way,
Kyle Um their lawyers that smoke on camera all the
time on Instagram, the first attorneys that smoke and teach
everybody the rights. What do your research? Good job anyway,
But you're really well also, don't you know, I mean,
thank you for coming to the show. Where to go
Marcus fucking jerk and scared. But Mark and Craig smoke
weed all day every day on Instagram, telling people their

(35:11):
rights on how to do it, what to say to
the police when they ask questions, and smoking in the
right places because it's not just anywhere and everywhere you
can smoke, it's where it's legal. And having a medical card.
For those who are wondering, well, how do they get
away with it? You have to a have a medical
card to be able to do it in the certain
spots that you can do it. That's in California and
California that is. So don't just sit there and think, oh,
Mark A. Craig smoke anywhere and everywhere. Wink wink, nudge, nudge.

(35:33):
They do, but legally they do it. Hold on when
when when we travel to other states, you know when
we'll get it there, you know. But there are still
states that it's that it's that we go to where
you can't smoke in public, and it's it's a misdemeanor
or an infraction. And I look up those laws because
I like to know what the laws when I'm gonna

(35:56):
break it. Civil disobedience purposes versus people who come to
oh I got busted, I didn't know. I didn't know
I brought it on the plane. What happened. Like, you
gotta know the laws wherever you go and whenever you travel,
So you know, like Harvey Milk said, come out to
your friends. I think a lot of politicians see people
that smoke weed as cheach and chong and things like that.

(36:16):
So I honor somebody with a j D that's publicly
gonna go ahead and do that and say, look, good,
people smoke cannabis. Professional smoke cannabis. I will tell you
people in hedge funds, people in the real estate that
the people that you wouldn't expect to smoke on counters
normalizing come out and come out of the green class.
That's what we call it. The kyle the green cloths

(36:37):
out of the people, and we tell them, look, don't
be afraid to do this. It's perfectly normal. And you know,
you don't even have to be an advocate of it.
That being said, I'm a huge advocate of it. But
I don't smoke joints. I've been sober twenty three plus years,
complete absidence, but I'm a big advocate of the plant.
For medical conditions. I use CBD, I use pins, I
use all kinds of oils and treatments on my body
for my medical issues. But there's other reasons to be

(36:59):
a you know, advocate to support this. And when you
see people who go, oh, I don't like just well,
we don't believe the hype and the propaganda, folks know
there's a lot of medical benefit on there. And I
want to talk about your scenario and what you guys
are doing with all these acres and all these types
of different skews on what you guys are looking at
from the medical aspect. How do you guys treat that
and look at that, Kyle, Because you have so much

(37:21):
with the cultivation, the different brands, the manufacturings, the retailers,
deliveries of lifestyle. What do you guys do to look
into the R and D on the medical side of it?
Or is that even something that you guys are touching on? Um,
you know, we have a we have a brand called
Mama Su and and see that Sue Taylor and her

(37:41):
family want a dispensary up in Berkeley. And so when
we met, I said, because medmen harvest, everybody wanted to
roll them in and so what they fail to do
is listen. And I said, Sue what's your passion, She says,
I love going to seniors and talking about the medicinal aspects.
I'm like, I said, I have three bulging discs from
lack of playing time at USC. But it was enough

(38:03):
when he got sitting on the vent those guys on
the joke, have you ever shot lamps in the sports
right now? So that was a towboy though, So so basically,
you know, I said, we have this really great strain
called jellyfish, and what it is. It's about twenty two

(38:23):
one cbd t th HC and it is absolutely fantastic.
Gives you a body relaxation and you if you take
it up, you take enough that you will get high,
but you don't have to. You can take it during
the day and just feel your endocannabinoid system gearing up
a bit. So we really love that, and in fact,
we we were talking with Mike Tyson about doing something together.

(38:44):
He has a strain called toad, and I said, I said, guys,
mix some of his toad with jellyfish and see how
that feels. And he was like, and I can't imitate him,
but he was like, this is great, this is great.
You did a good job, not bad but you know
what it really is, and this is a cbed or
I see that your products contain no heavy metals or
pesticides and are non GMO and are very good for you.

(39:07):
And I see there's three different skews there on the
Mama Sioux picture of the website, So I love that.
I've I've checked out all that, and let's talk about
some of the other skews that you have. I mean,
I know it's obviously flower. How many different flower brands
are you guys pushing out? So so we have our
main brand is Glasshouse Farms. And one of the things
we're most proud of is since the third quarter of

(39:28):
last year, it's it stayed between the number one and
number four flower brand in the state of California, which is,
as you know, the largest mark in the world, and
that's the category that sells the most is flower. So
we've been able to hold that position by just providing
very good cannabis for the right price. You know, we
keep it. H what is that getting at the stores

(39:49):
that retail pace, It's in the it's in the low
thirties for the eighth and eighth called thirty three probably
and what's it um coming U up as the TC level.
It depends, you know, a ballpark, you know, it depends.
Sometimes it's in the thirties, other times it's in the twenties.
Do we have a jarter so I can smell some

(40:09):
of this? Do we have any can let me let
me cam can you? Is it right in front of me?
And I'm just my computer, literally it's right in front
of me. Thank you, Okay. And this is the this
is the glasshouse farms. I have garlic Starship in the dominant.
I have a smell. I have the same one. I
opened it up and it smells like garlic. I'm like,
it smells like garlic too, does Oh my goodness, this

(40:31):
smells and it looks amazing nice little uh, a little
smaller budge, which is fine and good because it's better
that way. When you can break them up. They feel
nice and sticky and they have great look and great nose.
Good looking product. Here. I love this. Thank you. Look
at everybody going, please don't take a joke, please don't
take a job. We may we may have brought parting

(40:51):
gifts for everybody. So well and then so so this
is one brand I see this garlic. How many other
different flower that's the same garlic one here too. So
so this is our main brand, and we work a
lot of different strains through because today people don't want
to hear the same hit over and over again. You know,
we have super silver Hayes, people love it. We keep
it going. Uh, we have um a number of those

(41:14):
standard but you know we're we're getting tropic heat. We're
getting just a number of great strains, are you guys?
White labeling for anybody as well? You know, we sell,
we sell some wholesale. We try we keep our best
for ourselves and then we wholesale out the rest. And
and as we get the new farm up, we're talking
to a lot of brands that right now we're out
there just trying to source and saying why don't you
come find home with us? And for those brands that

(41:36):
are listening and maybe we do that, how do they
get in contact with you guys? Just go to the
website as our direct person that somebody would be contact
going you know what, I'm looking to make my brand
a little bigger and better, and I love everything about
what you're saying. Let me try to partner with Glasshouse Brands.
So I hope you guys bombard him because he doesn't know.
I'm going to say his email, but it's Eric E. R.
I K at glass House Group dot com. So if

(41:58):
nothing else, just say, hey, Eric, I've got a brand.
It's in my head. I've been smoking. I want to
do something. Just take up his day. I wrote that,
I wrote that down. Put a story to just put
it on one of your stories on Instagram. Well no,
I mean, you know, I know a brand that's been
looking for a good farm to you know, put the

(42:20):
pop brothers in law, shut the funk up, pre roll
on and you know, we've been talking to people and
I think we need to talk to these people. He
has been. He need to realize you were a lawyer.
That's a good time, right. So it's worries me because
I didn't bring my lawyer. So I'm gonna shut the
funk off. I believe when lawyers asked questions, not a
bad idea. Okay, So that's good. We see the flower,

(42:42):
I see the CBD. And what else do we have
with the brand partnership with you guys? Got what's this
Jenny Lewis? So so Jenny Lewis was a one off deal.
She's a musician. Graham also sits on the board of
the Santa Barbara Bulls. So she was playing up there
and she said, hey, I really would like to do
something with you. Rolling Stone is talking to me. I
love cannabis. So we just put out, um some flower

(43:05):
that she liked, put it under her song that she
was dropping called rabbit Hole. If I remember, it was
a good song and uh, rolling Stone ran with it,
and it was a good way to get her pressed,
to get us pressed. But it's not really our main brand.
The celebrity that people would know is our Forbidden Flowers,
which is Bella Thorne. Okay, so Bella's got you know,
she was a Disney star. She is completely authentic and

(43:28):
when I say that she really loves the flower, that's
her deal. She loves flower grown with sun like like
us and so um. So she has done a phenomenal job.
Working with her is tremendous. And she has a following
of young females and not a lot of people are
trying to hit that demographic. And you mentioned you have
locations with the pharmacy and Santa and and are you
guys also doing on demand delivery? So right now we're

(43:50):
looking at doing DTC statewide. But we have a we
have dispensary called the Pottery in Los Angeles. Yes, I
don't know if you know. That was a really great place.
We also have the pharmacy Santa arbust were up there,
and we have the Pharmacy Berkeley. I love the pottery,
you guys, remember what I when it first opened. I
actually was in there working with some cats over there.
Who was I talked? Was it a little guy again? No,

(44:10):
it was the big heavy set, the bigger heavy set
dude the pottery. I want to even tell you his
name because I loved them so much. Aaron Kazara Kuzara.
Was it Kyle Kazan? He was Aaron Aaron k u
z a r a the Pottery. Anyhow, I have to
look Alex and Oliver over the Alex Alex is yeah, Alex,

(44:32):
and is he okay? Yeah? So Aaron was a company
that they also brought on to oversee those ones. And
also when Budding Balloom you got, he was over He
was one of those companies that you guys used to
help everybody else. So I dealt with him, Alex and
Oliver and I was actually back in the day when
I retired from the radio. I was doing actually cannabis processing.
So I helped set you guys up with the processing

(44:52):
that you guys are using back then. Joe, Hey, you've
got a great memory. I love that you took the notes.
But yeah, those are some good people, Oliver. You know
they're they're still killing it. Yeah. So when you mentioned
the party, I'm like, wait a minute, I know folks
from the pottery that I dealt with, yea, and I
hope to help set you guys up over there. And
not only that, the brands there, the cultivation, the manufacturing.
Where are you guys doing the manufacturing out of So
we do that in northern Santa Barbara in the city
called Lompolk And so we have a twenty square foot

(45:15):
facility and so we have a conscentrate brand called Field.
It's one of the o G brands that a lot
of people really like. And so if you you know,
I was talking earlier, those that like to dab, Yeah,
that's me Rosin. I'm a Rosin guy. Yeah. Um, and
Field does a great job. And what you for those
that sort of want to do both. There's really nice
product right there. It's a Field and a glass house

(45:37):
Farms collab and they're infused pre roles and so if
you really want that high THHC kick, and really I
mean it's dragons. It's not the easiest sometimes because it's
got that resonant. It's really nice, but it's fantastic and
so I hope you'll enjoy that. I will. And is
there any of the products that were missing that we
didn't talk about that you guys do have and any

(45:58):
edibles yet So we're in some conversations right now. Nothing
to announce, but I'd say something will be announceable and
not to this in future. All right, Well, I can't
wait for people to get in contact with Derek over

thank you so much for coming on the show. And
thank you very much, Marcus, appreciate your brother. Question number
one of the High five, how old are you the
first time you smoked cannabis? And where did you get
it from? Kyle? Okay, so somethings are gonna be the
most ridiculous answer you's ever heard, including this one, because

(48:35):
I was somewhere between fourteen and fifteen. It was neighbors
and I asked my dad if it was okay if
I could go over and smoke. What did you do right,
Remember the guy you said, they tell the costs, and
you know, my dad said, I appreciate you asking go
for it. Shut up cold child of the sixties. There
you go. Now that's funny. That's probably do the same
thing I think we did with this exactly. Not a

(49:01):
bad thing, alright. Question number two of the Cannabis Talk
one on one High five with Kyle Kazan, what is
your favorite way to use cannabis? Okay, so I know
that I'm breaking stereotypes here in a lot of ways,
right from the basketball to the all the other stuff
we were talking about. If you ask my favorite, it's
my last day on Earth, how am I going to
use I'm gonna dab Yes, I'm the wrong. I'm too old.

(49:26):
I'm too old to be dabbing. I'm fifty four. Now
that you at you said that, I didn't think you're okay,
and I'm d I'm the old man. Wow, you got
us five a couple of years. I didn't realize that
two years older than market. You know. It's great about
that you don't look older than Mark. Thank you. Number
three of the High Fire with Mr Dabber himself Kyle Kazan,

(49:49):
the founder of Glasshouse Brands. I'm sure he's dabbing with
some Glasshouse brands over there doing his thing. Craziest place
you ever use cannabis. Okay, so I gotta ask this before.
On the way down, they're like, don't say that, just
don't say it. So I'm gonna say it. The truth
will set you free. Yeah, And and he's sitting there like, no, don't,
please don't. And it was in the back seat of

(50:10):
a car. I was up in Berkeley trying to cut
a deal and they go here the some of the investors.
I'm like, all right, they're going to the Golden State
Warriors finals game against the the Calves. I'm like, I
have a ticket. I'm going to that too. And so
I'm sitting there with like a lawyer, a doctor, and
you know the stereotypes have been talking about, And all
of a sudden, here comes a fatty and I'm like,
we're driving, like this, what are we gonna bridge? I'm

(50:34):
not driving, I'm in the back seat, but we're in
a car and I'm like, this is really not that's great,
this is so good. And so yeah, the craziest place
was basically doing a business deal in a moving car
as a retired cop feeling a little uncomfortable loving every second.
That's a great scenario story because, like you said, you
know the fucking consequences. And it's crazy because granted though

(50:57):
it is the Bay Area, it is Berkeley. You're only
drivers through a little bit of opening to get on
the right. But my point is, my point is Kyle
wait out his options going. I'm right here in Berkeley.
I'm gonna cross open and I know that was fast
from the Bay Area, right, so I know exactly where
you have to go to get to where you have
to go, and you're just gonna jump on eight eighty.

(51:18):
I almost thought this was if it was recently, you
have to come over the bridge to go to the
new place. But if it was back in the day
when it was in ok the Oracle, you're just going
down the street and it ain't nobody busting no pody
in those areas for smoking joints for the last twenty
years plus, I have pot brothers and their rule. I
ain't talking my point right there on and smoke joints
all day every day. So you can smoke weed there

(51:40):
supposed to be be on telegraph, come on, But you know
it is still a crazy scenario if it did happen, alright.
Question number four of the Cannabis Talk one on one
High five Kyle, what is your go to munchiess after
you get high? Yeah. So I'm older now, so I
can't just eat anything. I'm on. I'm in ketosis. It's
the intermittent fasting. I'm trying to live my best, longest life,

(52:02):
and so I stay off sugar and eat sugar. It's
anything sugar, and once it starts, anything goes. If there's
eminem's I become. I become a sugar burglar in my
own home. And I blame my wife for having this
because she knows. Put the ship in the house. Yes,
are you been there? Do you have it on TAPEO? Do?
It's my life as well? I mean I used to
be three hundred fifty pounds, for God's sake. Don't put

(52:22):
it around me. I want to eat it. I know
the feeling. You haven't just had sugar and just poured
it in your mouth. So we haven't done that level yet,
but we're not far. I don't know why when you
took me back to my drug days, and well you
it just took me back. You used to do you
used to do that, and sugar, I never I was

(52:45):
a fat boy, but I never did that. No effect.
That is a very fat kid trick and I like it.
But I never did it, but I like it. I
did sniff a lot of things at my chime. But
question number five with a high five with Kyle Kauzan,
the founder of Glasshouse Brands. Make sure you check them
out online glass House Group dot com, m of course
are on Instagram, glass dot House dot farms. Check them
out on Twitter at glass House b r. If you

(53:07):
could smoke cannabis coyle with anyone dead or alive, who
would it be and why? Okay, so another controversial answer
because they're like, what the hell are you talking about.
I'm like, look, you're gonna give me anybody, you canna
need me anybody. Look, I'm going with Jesus. Okay. You
know it's funny. It's not that controversy in my book.
But we we just had anybody ever said we had

(53:27):
Jesus Jesus. We just said on the other day that
was a controversial one, and that was Hitler smoking with Hitler.
But you know what if was it baby Hitler and
you could kill him called a theory, and he who
was the owner, I forgot the brand whatever, But he
said he want to change his mind and pick his
brain about different things. But so my point is, Jesus,

(53:48):
I think is a wonderful one because you know, I'm
half Jewish, half Christian. So I want to kind of
figure out what are we doing here? Jesus? Are we
a carpenter? Are we what are we doing here? Jesus? Well,
Happy Hanukah to by the way, to both of my
Jewish prison your day late. But are so that's the difference.

(54:11):
We're over here hanging out, always having a good time.
I think Jesus is a wonderful answer. Let's just ask
your real and deep interpretation of why you know. I
think at the end of the day, Um, there's been
so much. I've been lucky enough to kind of travel
the world seeing him in different churches and everything else.
I just have a bit of a wonderment to understand
more about what is you know, Christ like I want to.

(54:36):
I would love to meet the man and be if
nothing else, I'll come out better. Well, you know, to
give you some props, you feel very spiritual in your
walk and everything I've been hearing and even from your
cop days to you going into these hoods and sitting
down and talking, because in my opinion, that's the way
you get to the bottom of anything. If I always

(54:56):
look at people, if you can come talk to me
and my boys when I grew up and it's me
and hanging out with guys that look like this right here.
You know what I'm saying, Minority people anyways, and if
you can come up and talk to us, we're gonna
listen and we're gonna make things happen right and correct.
So my point is hearing you say some ship like
that makes me go, Kyle is a real shooter, you
know what I mean, and a straight solid dude. And
on top of going back to even giving propits to

(55:18):
your boy Marcus, Marcus gave me he's a straight shooter, Joe,
He's a real dude, and blah blah. So everything that
comes from you from different people and from the words
that are coming out of your mouth, I see that
christ Like walking your brother, and I appreciate that. And
I don't just say that to just say that. I'm
saying that because I've heard it from people and see
how from the stories that you share. You're a genuine dude.

(55:40):
I wish nothing but the best for Glasshouse Brands. It
doesn't look like it's going anywhere except blowing up. And
I want to be a part of it. And as
a show cannabis talk one on one, we want to
help people like you that are doing the right things.
And if I can borrow fifty bucks, they'd be great
a stock. It's no matter of fact. So you guys

(56:03):
publicly traded. And here's the thing. When I was a
police officer, for when I was a teacher, on the
teacher's lounge, all the teachers talking about I'm gonna invest
in this dot com, I'm gonna get rich, and they don't.
And then when I was a police officer, we'd all
be around the hoods over by Dunkin Donuts and we'd
be talking as random invest and Duncan Donuts. We all
buy donuts. Why not it would have been the place
to put what he bought stuff out in Victorville the

(56:25):
wrong time. And so what I've said is, look the
cannabis industry, even if it's not Glasshouse Brands, but if
it's any one of these other stocks. The big, the
big investment banks are not in this, Goldman Saxson, not
the quant traders, not in this. You actually have a chance.
And like Warren Buffett holds an annual meeting, I said
to the team, I'm like, why don't we hold an
uh an annual meeting? Any shareholder right now, our stock

(56:47):
is trading under five dollars for a less than five bucks,
you can own a share coming out to Glasshouse Fest.
And by the way, if you're a shareholder, called bullshit
on me on our CFO, what's the I P for that? Yeah?
So um, so are if you go in and and
do g L A s F that is our articker.

(57:08):
You can buy us on the O T C through
like a Schwab account. Um and you know, we're super
excited about it. I've not sold one penny of my investment,
and I have I was one of the largest investors,
Like I was the largest investor going into this back thing.
So I have millions of my own dollars in this.
And so if this doesn't work, my wife is going
to just beat the crap out of me. It has

(57:29):
and it has to. It looks like it was. It's working.
The brands out there. Jennifer who works with us. When
she knew you guys are coming in, she goes, they
have great products. She's a heavy connoisseur, and she's like,
their products is great. And that's without Like I said,
I hear from other people, not just hearing from you.
I'm giving you your problems because people are talking great
about you. And that's one thing that I want our

(57:49):
audience to know. I'm not getting paid for this to
to gas him and give you the extra problems that
you deserve because you have a great website and you're
doing all these things and you're helping out you know,
convicted prisoners with cannabis and know you're you already have
the personal story of your wife having you know, cancer
in two thousand and then pushing forward and God William,
she's doing great and stays great. But you're doing the
due diligence brother, And I really truly appreciate that from

(58:13):
the bottom of my heart. You know that that's sinceres
there anything else that we forgot to bring up or
that you want to mention before we let you go? Yeah, look,
if if if there's something that you think is a
great idea, anybody out there watching, and I know you
have a ton of listener. So I'm looking myself up.
If you go to my Twitter at Kyle Kazan and
you shoot me, you know, you shoot me something on Twitter.
I'm always reading that myself and I'm always looking for

(58:35):
good ideas. So if someone has the next idea and
they can win, let me know personally, I'd love to
hear it. Well we will. I know we're gonna have
to talk about with Mark. And there's other people that
I might be throwing at you guys as well that
we know different people that you know. We we like
to throw people to people that we can trust and
feel that we can trust and feel like this seems
like the right relationship. So I'm looking to create this

(58:57):
