(00:29):
Blue is at the number one Christopher Wright and you
can catch me Joe Grande at Joe Brande fifty two Blues.
Not here today, but I'm holding down the fort you guys,
It's all good. It's gonna be a great show, a
lot of good information for you. Turn your typical into
something special when it comes in fuged products. The flavor
you take should be just as enjoyable as the feeling
your experience. Make sure you visit the website loranoils dot
(00:49):
com and as the holiday season, I can't wait to
get busy on their website and check out what I'm
gonna be making for the fan BAM today on the show.
You guys, my brother from another mother is Yourry the
executive vice presidents of rad Source Technologies. Now they are
a global life science leader developing proprietary X ray technologies.
(01:09):
I can't wait to get into this and really hear
what this is. George. Rad Source Technologies vows to develop
life changing biological X ray solutions that enable customers to
advance the world through life science research and innovation. Today
George comes to tell us a little bit about their patent.
I believe it's cost Star Quaister Quaister pho photonic decontamination
(01:35):
technology and how they are cleaning up cannabis for all
users worldwide. Now, for more information on Quoister, check out
their red websites radsource dot com that's r A D
S o U r CE dot com or follow them
on Instagram rad Source Technologies to get a piece of
mind of where it comes to micro micro bollock and
(01:56):
all this other good testing in the cannabis space. They
can explain it for you without further ado. Please put
your hands together for George is in the building, folks. Yes, George,
first off, this company, what is this exactly? Because even
as I read this and I look at the site
and I see these big old machines down there, make
(02:18):
it in layman's terms, because I'm imagining something, but I
still can't put it all together on what you guys do.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
So in life sciences, there's different aspects of it. Some
has to do with marijuana, some has to do with blood,
some has to do with viral and activation, some has
to do with sterilization of insects. So what we do
is we actually have created a unit that uses X
ray technology instead of gamma technology. So gamma technology would
be radioactive isotopes or eBeam, but we use X ray
(02:48):
technology like you see at the dentist's office, like you
see at the airport, in order to reduce microbials and
basically make them unviable so they can't reproduce.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So as it's as your machine's doing something to the plant,
it's actually killing something.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
It breaks up the DNA, so that if you don't
have DNA, you can't reproduce. It can't reproduce. So we
can't say sterilized because we're we else, we're afty cleared
for blood, but in a in a in effect sterilizes
the product because it can't it can't reproduce the microbials.
(03:27):
They can't grow.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And what are the microbials do when they find it
in cannabis.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Well, there's linked to a lot of nasty things. Aspergillus
is a particularly bad one. Ce f you, which is
calle form forming units is a is a mold and
mildew that's in in cannabis, sometimes equali, salmonella, you know
what they do. So all these I.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Mean the other ones are like, oh what, it sounds bad,
but okay, my science isn't that strong.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Sometimes you know, especially an outdoor grows or whatever. You
get birds that fly over or whatever, so you you know,
you might have a little bit of pollution that happens.
So basically it's just like in other you know, in
other areas, you got to make sure that it's clean
for consumption. So even though it's being smoked. You know,
the each of the states has their own cannabis Control
(04:18):
board that uh that sets limits for you know, how
how clean product has to be in order to be
sold to the public. So they're they're all about public safety.
The states can't. I can't say more about what the
states do in order to try to keep public safety.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So this company was it formed. I'm assuming for blood
work at first.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, the first four guys got out there and they said, hey,
we want to do something to get rid of these
gamma radiators around the world. Caesium so caesium is a
is a gamma isotope that's water soluble. So after nine
to eleven, the govern US government put together a program
and they they went out with under the O r
S Office of Radiations or Radio Radiation Safety, and they
(05:01):
put together a program. They said, hey, we want to
get all these caesium radiators out of the of the
public because if they fall into the wrong hands, they
were thinking dirty bomb and stuff like that. So they said, well,
what's another technology we can use since we don't have gamma,
you know, the radioactive isotope, and rad Source came up
with a novel idea on an X ray tube design
(05:23):
and said, hey, we can do it, and we can
do it better than anybody else. And those four guys
took that company to where it is today.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Now are you saying that we can see these at
airports and this and that or where do we see
this technology for this company that they've created.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
So rad Source has got a different type of X
ray technology original tech. Original x ray technology was created
at eighteen ninety seven. So it basically functions like a flashlight.
So the photons are that's it, exactly what they are,
you know. The the X rays are photons, So they
come down like a flashlight bulb. If you were to
(06:00):
shine a flashlight on the table, you would see a
bright circle in the middle and it would get darker
as it goes out. Rad Source came up with another
idea and so instead of making a beam, they made
it more like a light bulb. So it puts photons
like the sun, out in all different directions. That's why
we call it quaystar because it's like a star and
it puts out the photons in all different directions, so
(06:22):
it doesn't just focus the light in one area, and
the light is what actually breaks up the microgens.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
So these machines, are you guys only doing cannabis? Is it?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I feel like you guys are doing other big things
for the government, for life, for science, for testinges and
all kinds of other things. Tell me a little bit
more about that.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
So, yeah, we started off with blood and then we
did some viral inactivation. So a lot of times what
they'll do is they'll need to inactivate a virus in
order to make a vaccine for it.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
So storry, I'm giggling. There's this dog barking. I'm almost like,
who let the dogs out? It's like, it's not even
my dog. It's going crazy, which is even funnier. But
go ahead, of right, that was that was me. It's
your dog, that's your barking. That's me barking at your
dogs right there. I'm sorry, go ahead, it just was
cracking me up. This dog is just non stop. Someone's
beating it. Oh nobody is. Just to be safe and clear, but.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
That does not represent any statement's.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I'm just wondering what it's the first time I've heard
a dog this yapping like that, though around here I'm
usually you know, it's my dog, it's barking at somebody,
and it's usually a Mexican or brother that walks in.
He's such a racist little golden doodle. But George a
little bit more too, like continue please, like you guys
just started with blood doing all this and continue.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
So we do viral and activation. So during COVID we
had a lot of sales of units because people were
trying to inactivate the virus. So if you chop up
the DNA. Have you ever heard like when when people
were making vaccines they say, we had we use an
inactivated virus.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, yeah, that's what we do.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So they put the real life virus in and they
hit it with enough of the photons that it cannot reproduce,
but the proteins are still there because they're bigger molecules.
So then they make the vaccine off those proteins. But
it's an inactivated virus, so it cannot reproduce. So once
it can't reproduce, then it can't really affect you.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Right, who are your clients?
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Like, we have some big like a big pharma, big
big pharma, in fact, some of the vaccine developers, a
lot of genetics companies on that side. But we you know,
we do a lot of work with.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I don't want to say the names of them or anything,
but BMS is one.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So it's the big ones. I mean, the government is
basically looking at you guys in your company, and you
guys have got the stamp of approval to be utilized,
because this is big work as far as like major technology,
major breakdown of molecules, and if you're talking about viruses
and other things, you guys are trying to help the
biggest scientists I would imagine in the world figure out
things that are beyond are just a quick imagination.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Right, I mean, the science is pretty solid. So what
happens is they know that they need to inactivate the virus,
so they use either gamma radiation or they use you know,
the X ray. The x ray, it takes a little
longer to get there, but it's it's a it's a
different science as far as the delivery of the of
the of.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
The photon and so for cannabis. Right, So if there's
a company here that wants to utilize you guys, Are
you guys already in this space heavy? Are you guys
just tapping it now?
Speaker 3 (09:26):
No, we started five years ago and we have over
two hundred and fifty of our units throughout the US.
We've got them down in in South America, We've got
them in Canada, we've got them over in Europe now
just for cannabis then, and we are the predominant technology
for other than gamma. So within the US, you're the
(09:47):
predominant technology.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, George is sitting here, you guys with us today.
We're gonna get some more information on that because I
want to know exactly how much they can take in
their red source dot com is the website, and we're
gonna seem these machines cost because they look massive. It's
Cannabis Stalk one on one. We'll be right back after
this break.

Mana Chalmer's Wellness is a full service rehabilitation and recovery facility.
Now they work with patients to identify, treat, and manage
a wide variety of issues including weight loss or gain,
digestive problems, chronic fatigue, pain injuries, sciatic diseases, chiropractic problems, fibromyelga,
carpal tunnel syndrome, and plantifastitis. Now, medical doctors regularly refer
(10:50):
patients to doctor Chalmers when traditional medications and treatments are
not working for their patients. For more information, you guys
check out his website Chalmerswellness dot com or give them
a all direct two one four four four six five
three zero zero. George Terry is our guest today, the
executive vice president of rad Source Technologies. As we're going
and talking about this, you say, you guys have these
(11:12):
all around the country now, especially in the US and
Canada and different countries as well. How exactly does it work?
How much cannabis do we put in there? And let's
just start with that, like, because I'm so curious. Are
companies doing this before they take it to the test
the lab test? Is it like, oh, they went to
the lab test, they found out it's contaminated. We got
(11:32):
to take it here to get out of it. How
does all that work? And why should people be using this?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
So that's an excellent question. So what happens is when
you grow after you cure bay trim, and then they
take the flour and they put it in a plastic
bag and they seal it and that's that plastic bag
then goes in our unit.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
The whole the big black ones that they're using or
just doesn't matter like how much pounds, like the big
fifty pound bag one hundred pound bags.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Depends on the size of the unit, but let's just
say it's already or larger unit. It holds about ten
pounds of flour per pod, and it takes there's five
pods inside, so five cardboard canisters, so it holds about
fifty pounds of flour. And then the bags are sealed,
they go through the cycle, and the cycle can go anywhere.
(12:18):
We have some customers that run it as low as
four hours, but typically what we recommend is about nine
hours to ten hours, okay, and if you have aspergillus,
it's a little longer. So it stays in there. When
it comes out, you don't open the bag. You keep
the bag closed because now it's decontaminated. So that's the
term that we use before testing, is decontamination. Then what
(12:40):
happens is it goes to testing and they get back
the CoA and it shows zero microbials, zero aspergillus and
we don't have an impact on THC or the turpenes either.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
You know, compared and it's not affecting any of that either.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
No, it doesn't, it does not because we're at such
a small wave, like we're hitting this the d of
the microbial and the molecule which is the tc or
the turpint. The turpdine is a much bigger molecule. So
it's it's insidant. And we've got thousands of tests and studies.
You know that we can show that. You know, we
can prove, we can prove our marketing.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So like about fifty pounds will take about nine hours
to do. Yeah, about nine hours, that's what you recommending
per fifty pounds.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Yeah, if it doesn't have aspergillis as Aspergillus is going
to go about an hour and a half more.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Okay, So George, when somebody comes with their crop, right,
do they figure out beforehand that it has a problem
with it or is it something that they want to
do even before just normal testing. No matter what.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Some people just get it and they run everything through
it because they want to make sure that they're providing
safe cannabis to the market, and that way they know
that they're getting zeros as far as CFU or too
few to detect when they go in because of the
shelf life of the product. So Colorado just did a
thing where they have a shelf life on the product
(14:00):
because they figured out and Colorado hats off to them,
they've got a wonderful enforcement program there. They figured out
that the longer it sits on the shelf, if it
has mold or it grows back, so it expires. So
you know, so with us we get it down to
two few to detect. So if there's nothing there to
grow back, it extends that shelf life. Same same theory
(14:23):
that they use for some.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Foods, right I would imagine that's the same concept right
there too. So if you're a grower and you're sitting
there getting ready to go, do that? Is there like
distribution centers that you guys have around here? Is it
something somebody should buy their own machine and just do
it themselves, or they go to like the you know
location where you guys have. How does that work? Is
it everyone buy a machine?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah? So most people buy a machine for themselves, okay,
because they want to make sure that they can control
what's coming into their facility, what's going out of their facility.
To want other people's stuff in and cross contamination. I
have to give it to cannabis for the cannabis growers
are very professional group. Of people, Well, they look at
every aspect and they follow them their their sps very closely. Okay,
(15:05):
But then there are other people that depending on the
state and the state regulations, where they're allowed to do
something called tolling. So what they'll do is they'll buy
a unit from us and they'll put it in place,
and then they'll charge anywhere from one hundred to two
hundred dollars a pound for other growers to bring product
in to run it through the unit, because they at
the time they don't want to either buy the unit,
or they don't have the capital buy the unit, or
(15:27):
they don't have the buume, so they just take it
there and they'll run it through for a couple hundred
dollars a pound, and then that toll processing player will
actually decontaminate the cannabis forum and they can pick up
their bag and it's clean.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
How do people find these type of distribution centers like
that that are that are doing that for people?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Typically they contact us and our salespeople point them into
the direction of where the toll processes are. You know,
we have had a couple of medical patients because you know,
really for the medical patients, it's the big thing, you know,
they need.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Well, this is ideal for everyone, don't get me wrong,
but extremely for the medical patients and not only that,
even for the growers that happen to you know, get
a bad batch. It happens, right, I mean, it happens
more often than not. So therefore there's a way now
to fix your crop.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Well, yeah, and they can go on to rat source
dot com and uh and they can just put an
inquiry in and one of our salespeople can point them
in the right direction. But they want to grow, you know,
there's a lot of noise out there. Cannabis farmers want
to grow clean. They want to be clean. They want
to they want but every once in a while something happens,
and it can be because of the change in humidity
(16:35):
and temperature. Maybe somebody you know, walks in with some
spores on them or something, or you know. But this
is a viable method to be able to fix that
and still you know, not impact the quality of the product.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
What does a machine.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Cost anywhere between one hundred and ten thousand dollars to
up to three hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So three hundred and fifty is the elite one.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Well, the three hundred and fifty roughly three hundred and
sixty thousand dollars machine. See I creeped that exactly?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
How much?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Ok?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Three eighty five?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Well Belushi told us everybody it was four hundred case really?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah? Just does Blushi Farms have one too? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Not the place in Shelby, the Illinois does It was
featured last season on on Growing Blushy.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh was it?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Sweet Home Chicago? Oh? Great to see this face.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Oh you're on it?
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Oh yeah, go ahead, movie star.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I thought he looks familiar.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I get that a lot exactly. Denzel right, Sinbad?
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh, I see Sinbad all day, all day, old old
Now that you say the healthier Simbad one because he's
not doing too well. He's not. Oh yeah, he got her.
He's been he's been a little sick recently. But yeah hope,
yeah me too. Yeah, you know what's funny, I could
see that, Yeah, old Simbad, old Simbad healthy though, because
you look good and strong, which is a good thing. Oh,
thank you, that's funny. That's funny though. I could see
Simbad's a good dude. I met him several times. Go
(17:57):
to a good brother, right there, so somebody has is
they spend the money for it? What's the maintenance on
something like this? Do you guys take care of these things?
How does that work?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
So? Typically what and I say, typically these things run? Okay,
if you have good power, you have a you have
to buy a chiller with the unit. So we don't
sell the chiller. It's a third party chiller. You know.
We make a couple of recommendations because it's inside of
this thing is a light bulb. So when we make
X rays, it's a light bulb. It's just like a
(18:27):
regular light and it generates heat.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
So it's gonna But is it a light bulb you
can buy at home depot? No, okay, exactly no, and
it goes really hot or something do something.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Super hot and a lot of power and so the
basically it helps keep the unit cool. So if they
have good power and they have a good chiller and
they and they're in a good clean environment, there's not
a lot of maintenance and if it does break, we
come out, we fix it. So the first year we
give a factory warranty and then after that there's a
service agreement that can be purchased. About ten percent of
(18:59):
the price of the unit it. But we're a little
different than the rest of the maybe even anybody. We
include labor parts and everything in our service agreement, so
you know, if something breaks, it's not like here's a bill.
Plus you know, here's our labor and travel and living.
And by the way, you know, Joey needed a new,
you know, pair of shoes, right, we say here, it's
(19:19):
a one price and you know, we take care of it.
Within that that period.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
In five years, you guys have been around and saving
a lot of people's crops. And you guys are still
doing the blood work for science and for other medical
conditions because the farmer companies just have to love what
you guys are doing as you're breaking down everything else.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Well, yeah, they do, the farmer companies and the cannabis
companies as well. So it's it's funny when we came
in the cannabis. So we've been around on blood for
fifteen almost twenty years, right, But when we came into
cannabis five years ago in the state of Colorado, there
were two other technologies that made up eighty percent and
twenty percent of the decontamination in that state. Now, well
(20:00):
ninety percent of the flower that's sold in Colorado goes
through our units. Really yeah, because it's we have the
best technology and there's a lot of noise and there's
a lot of misinformation that's being put out there because
the competitors are scared. The competitors are scared whatever camera
that is, and they're making up of just a bunch
of garbage. So you know, if you if people want
(20:22):
real facts, you know that we have test results. We
have a lot of new entrants that are other X
ray companies that are coming in making a lot of claims.
We're afraid they're going to give x ray a bad
name because we know how to do it. We have
what they call point source rate X ray tubes in
our older products. We didn't use those. We used our
Quaystar technology because we know it's the best technology for cannabis.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
And does everyone need to do this? Or if you
grow a good crop and it's just great, I mean,
is it something that you know when you're bringing it
to the first lab of distribution when they're testing it.
Is it something that everybody should just do? Period? No?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
If I mean, there are some people out there that
can grow without problems, all right, and hats off to them.
You know, those are they've really dialed it in even
with the strains. Some strains are more susceptible the mold Aspergillus.
But there are some people, depending on the environment, that
can do it. We're all about public safety. So the
(21:24):
people that can't do it, we have, we have something
that can help them to get it through the state
testing to make it safe for public consumption.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
And that's the part that makes me feel most bad
for the growers because if you're spending about one hundred
bucks a pound, depending on where you're at and what
you know, state and the value of the crop, I
mean that just lowers now your gain, so to speak,
because now the grower is spending another one hundred dollars
just to get this cleaner. But hopefully they can sell
(21:56):
it for you know, pound for flower, because nowadays it's
going as cheap as you know, one hundred bucks a
pounds sometimes if not less.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, we see higher and wholesale, you know, we see higher,
you know, depending on the state. But the choice that
they have a lot of times is well, either I
can get full flour price for this and let's just
say it's as a state out Midwest that's about twenty
three hundred dollars a pound, or I have to get
twenty cents in the dollar if I turn it into
(22:25):
dis to it.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
So is that too, because you can really look at that.
It's a bad crop and I got to just destroy
my start, got to break make it something else. So
it's like I can clean it up and still make
more money on it, so then I'm still golden. So
it's a good investment. Hundred bucks per pound.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Right, yeah, and that's you know, one hundred bucks per pound.
I'll just give you a ballpark. Some places charge more,
some places charge with us. We don't get any of that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Money, of course. Yeah, you're just giving me the example
of what the facilities are charging somebody that wants to
do that, And I just want the listeners to understand
that too, if they're we're going to do that as well.
Oh we're going to take a break real quick, Jordan,
and we come back. We do the high five. And
I want to get your background because you're mister smartypants
over here, I mean, executive vice president of brad Source Technology.
I want to know where these degrees are from. I know,
(23:06):
I want to know where you're from. It's Cannabis Talk

(24:24):
Chris Frankino, Jennifer Erica and Elvis. Thank you guys all
for doing what you do. And we're hearing all about
rad source technologies, what they do, what they cost. High
end about three hundred and sixty thousand, Lowen, you're in
about one hundred and fifteen, one hundred and twenty. Who
knows exactly the size of the machines before we get
into your background. How big are they? Because I'm looking
at the website going these look like some monsters.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So the one we have one that does one to
two pounds, it's about the size of a of a
mini fridge twice as high. We have another one that
does five to ten pounds. Our flagship one is one
that does up the fifty pounds and it's it's pretty
grass four to twenty XL. Yeah, but now guess what
(25:08):
you get. I'm giving you something.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
You're gonna get the double XL coming out.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
We got something coming out in a couple of weeks
called the Q plus And how much does that hold?
It does five pounds to twenty five pounds, and it's
cheaper than really in the Excel. So it's probably around
the two hundred and twenty to two hundred and sixty threshold.
And it does use our technology to hit that space
that's been basically open.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Oh wow, it's.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Gonna be it's it's a nice piece.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
And what doses that take it on it?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
What's it's anywhere from two hundred and twenty k k
okay to about two hundred and sixty k depending on
We have power options that you can boost the power.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And how big are these because he's looking like they're
about six feet tall and about damn near six feet
wide some of these big ones.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Is it okay if I stand up, well.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, of course. So it's about as tall as you.
You're about six to two uh huh uh huh, don't
get yeah, don't hurt yourself, your buck about that big
it's about six three maybe that why, okay, that's about
four feet wide, the big big one, because about that far. Okay,
so it's about your size, but blockier.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
I'm a blocky guy.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Exactly you are, Yes, we are, Uh, George, so cool
to hear about all this. What is your background?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Now?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
A little bit about you. I mean, I know you
just didn't grow up being a scientist and all this
or or did you.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
I'm not a scientist at all. I got my degree
in mis so I'm a computer guy, Okay. Then I
went to work for Arthur Anderson tax technology, creating tax software,
went to work for AT and T what's about the
time with Southern Bell, did telecom for many years, Nortel Networks. Uh.
(26:44):
Then I went over to uh into medical. Uh worked
uh as a consultant for Emmy Coorgamma. UH worked for
Striker the Maco robot, so anybody who gets robotic knee
surgery right with with the Maco robot. I worked for
the those guys when we were bought my Striker off
State on.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Striker is a huge company in the medical field. I
mean that's you go into every doctor's office, everything in
that room is from Striker.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
That was with the Striker orth Epeedics. So uh, that
was a great you know, learning learning it. You know,
I learned all about the medical field in there, and
then I did a little bit of pharmacy stuff. And
I've been with Rod Sours for five years.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Wow, So that there were a medical background, You're coming
to this medical and now you're doing cannabis. Was that
kind of a fun little twist of like even your
family looking at you, like, door, what the hell you
doing talking about cannabis like that.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
I can't But the first time I went to a
cannabis girl because I'm not a I'm a big believer
in the medicine because I've first hand, I've seen it
affect people, and I've seen people that have that have
been affected with cancer and other issues and how it
treats them.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And you have enough anecdotal proof that cannabis is legit.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
I I know it's right.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So when you even heard about your company, you go
into that direction, You're like, this is amazing. I believe
this right right?
Speaker 3 (27:58):
And uh, And I just the first time I was
gonna grow, I was sitting there and I was looking
around and I was actually in a vault and I
had weed all around me. I still have the picture
of it on my phone and I sent it to
my kids and I was like, you know, five years ago,
I would be in jail for this. And there are
people that are in jail for this. Yeah, and uh
and I can't and I can't.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
More that look like us than that.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, I know, more.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Like you, easy, more like you of the here all
week exactly, you ain't going nowhere. So you get into
that your family. What do your kids say, dad? What
do you bring me home?
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Some?
Speaker 3 (28:34):
Yeah, that's exactly what they say. Well, I got you know,
my kids are are straight there, you know, they're pretty
straight arrows. So but they show their friends, you know,
the pictures.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Look what dad's doing now except for my daughter. Oh yeah,
your daughter likes to engage.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
I don't know. She won't tell me for sure, but.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
But she smells like a skunk when she comes home sometimes.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Like babe, I can smell it, like smell what when
she was younger? Now she's she's a respectable old are
your kids? My oldest is twenty six, then, my second
one is twenty four, my third one is twenty and
my youngest is going to be eighteen next week.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Wow, congratulations, I have twenty three, ten and nine.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
So yeah, well twenty three was a previous Yeah with
the one now, so.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
You know how that works. I figured that out.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
You figured that out real quick. Again and nine. Yes,
it was the one time DNA testing and you know
we used the whole DNA test on the first one.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
Oh yeah, well we could have helped you with that DNA.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah right, exactly. Well I like to do the high five.
Georgia's everybody that comes in here. And since you're the
executive vice president of rad Source Technology, I'm sure your
kids are gonna love these answers as well. How old
are you the first time you smoked cannabis? And where'd
you get it from?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I probably I don't smoke like I said, have you ever?
I did one time when I was when I was
in college in Munich, in Germany.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Except where are you from?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
My dad was in the military, so I was born
in North Carolina. I grew up in North Dakota, New York,
Long Island. It spent a lot of time in Germany
and Ramstein Here Force Base, and went to college University
of Maryland, Munich campus. So that was the number one
party school for you.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Oh really? And so who gave it to you?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Uh? My brother's roommate.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Your brother's roommate. Oh wow, I.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Didn't like it, man, I thought I thought I was
gonna die. I have a bad reaction, and I then
subsequently I did it again when I was like FSU
at college, just one hit, I thought I was gonna die.
I don't do well with it, really, I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's funny, and you're not the only one. There's so
many other people out there that it's not for them.
But do you use CBD or at all any CBD?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Oh? Yes?
Speaker 2 (30:37):
When I tell people, I've actually talked to some older gentlemen, right,
And one of the gentlemen that's in particular, I'm thinking
of older brother and he's like a pastor this and that, right,
And he's like, and he's part of a cannabis company.
And when we're doing this high five afterwards, I pulled
him aside. I go, dog, let me explain something to you.
Speaker 4 (30:55):
Just what.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
I go, you use cannabis every day? I go, So,
don't sit here and act like you don't. And he goes,
what do you mean? I go, don't you use CBD
and rubed creams on you every day?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I go, well that's cannabis. Brother. He's like, oh, you're right.
I go, so don't sit here. It's not so taboo
when you're using it, Because me too, George. I don't
smoke weed no more either. I've been sober twenty five
plus years, no alcohol, no drugs. But I need more
than a little bit, you know what I mean. So
I was a party animal to where I looked at
it like if I smoke weed, you know, I drink,
I need to smoke weed. If I smoke weed and
(31:27):
I drink, I need to do a line. If I
do a line, I.
Speaker 4 (31:29):
Need to feel.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
If I do a peel, I need to do a hooker.
It just goes in that order, you know what I mean.
It's like, Okay, I need to go. Then I'm in Mexico,
and then I'm here and there, So you know what
I get it when people, you know, if it doesn't
mix with them, it doesn't mix with me because I
make some crazy choices, you know. And even when I
did just smoke too much, I just get too high
and just want to just be too chill, and I
(31:50):
wanted to do a bomb. So it's like nothing that
can get me to like, oh why don't you just
try this joke? But I use the CBD, the creams
and the oils daily.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
CBG Oh yeah that's what I'm Yeah, So there was
a lab on her out in Santa Fe, New Mexico
that turned me on to CBG. Thank you she And
the CBG was is great because it's the root of
the CBD and the THAC without the effect, right, so
it psychedelic. Yeah, oh I'd love you know. So, yeah,
I do use CBG.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I just got some sent to me. Shout out to you, Mary,
thank you for sending that over. And I've been using
it every single day again now, you know. And I
get different products that I try and use, and it's
hard to explain to people how it just makes your
body feel better in my opinion, Like you know, it's
hard to feel better and explain what better is. But
like you know, I'm fifty one years old, I've had
two hip surgeries, I've had an ankle surgery. I have
a legal handicapped placard. I'm missed. You limp all the time.
(32:43):
People think I got a pimp. Limp all the time.
It's like, no, man, I'm sure. And when I'm not
limping like that, I can tell okay cool. And the
other few days recently I've been noticing I'm not limping
as bad. And then some days, you know, it just
kicks in because I have authritis and all those other
medical conditions that you know, and then my wrist starts
to hurt when doing too many push ups or whatever.
Just shit that happens as we get older, right, right,
(33:03):
And I'm like, oh, but it's better, it's not as
bad when I don't do it. I can tell, okay,
you know, I can feel the differences.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
It's medicine, so period, no matter what anybody tells you,
no matter the indo cannabinoid system is real. It's something
that everybody has. And whether you go CBG, THC, CBD
or whatever you know, are you.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Just want to smoke a joint, sometimes it's going to
help you as well too. But these other real medications,
and the medicine is in that question number two, what
was your favorite way to use cannabis.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
I'm thinking CBG, CBG, yeahlutely absolutely. I do the tinctures so,
and I always look for the tinctures with point three
THC because they you know all this. I work with
a lot of scientists. I'm not a scientist, but I
work with a lot of scientists, and they said, you
need at least point three THC and a little bit
in you to open the receptors for the CBG or.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They get the full spectrum effect of it all. Exactly exactly,
that's the full concept of that craziest place you ever
used or smoked cannabis.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Uh, probably in military housing and Munich, Germany.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
I was like, that's got to be the answer when
it wasn't legal in Germany, not at all, let alone
on a naval base that's American.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
And army base, Army base. And you know what they
did was they put in undercover two CID undercover students
and they busted a bunch of people for for for
drugs or whatever. Oh yeah, they were undercover students back.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
In twenty one Jump Street type show.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So some people just dressed up all crazy, like okay,
this guy looks.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
Like normal they were.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
That'd be like Connor over there. Connor would be a
great narc. Look at him.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
He looks like a cop.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
He does, right. He's all shaggy, looking all young. That
guy's forty four years old.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
He is not.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Yeah he's forty four. No, he's like twenty four maybe exactly.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
He's got the ears of a twenty.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
He just cut his hair too. He was more shaggy,
which crazy, So he'd be the type of guy that
would go under cover. That's just funny when you say that.
I can imagine he's a very handsome man. He is.
He's a good kisser too. Question number four of the
High five. What is your go to munchies after you
got high? Those two times?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
You know, I'm a pizza? Yeah, pizza, and then.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
You're like, I don't got to be high to eat
pizza anyway.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
This is an eighties exactly.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
That's a good time.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Yeah, that was microwave pizza. They didn't have all these
fancy air fryers and all that crap, you know, right, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Was getting hind in the eighties too, I remember it well.
Question number five of the High five George Terry, the
executive vice president of rad Source Technologies. Folks, go check
out their website if you're interested, radsource dot com or
follow them on Instagram. Rad Source Technologies is the ig.
But George, if you can smoke cannabis with anyone dead
or alive, who would it be and why?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
Huh my dad really? Yeah? Because he passed away. He
passed away.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
And what would that be like for you if you
could imagine did he ever smoke or do you know?
Speaker 3 (35:56):
No, he did, he did not my mom did, but
my dad mom smoke like when she was younger. Oh
but not when you guys are older. You could smell it,
and that smoking a bunny cigarette. I would smoke one
with him just to have him back.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
To just sit there with you. Pops. Is your mom
still around?
Speaker 3 (36:10):
No, she's gone too.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
Yeah, me too. We're parents parentless show today. Here we
go the orphans over here. I can't just talk one
oh one. It happens though, right. I even try to
tell my young kid, my son, who's actually nine years old.
I recently just said something like, well, so death is inevitable.
We're all gonna die, and I'm gonna die one day too,
and you know, hopefully I die before you for my sake, right,
we can help you with that with staying longer lives. Huh.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah. The guy with the long hair, Oh he's gone now.
Oh yeah, he might have heard you and he went
out to make arrangement exactly.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
He who knows well, George, is there anything else that
we're leaving out about the company that you want to
explain on the podcast before we let you get on
out of here.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, just that the company is the science is solid.
There's a lot of misinformation that's being put out. Uh,
there's a lot of scare tactics that people are saying, Oh, radiation,
let's not say from this and that.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Well, that's what you think of when you think of
X rays.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
But that's because people have radiation in their mind from
Fukushima and Three Mile Island and you know the Russian
nuclear reactor Gernobo and all. It's radiations all around us.
Right now, we're getting radiation from the lights, UV lights
uvcs ionizing radiation, we're X ray, we're a form of radiation,
gamma radiation, which is you know you get from isotopes,
(37:23):
and then you have cosmic radiation. Everybody's getting radiation all
the time. It's radiation. Is anything that's on the electromagnetic spectrum.
Look it up. It goes all the way from radio
waves all the way up to gamma waves. So you know,
they think it becomes radioactive. The only way for something
to become radioactive, and it's actually how they make cobalt
sixty is they take that element and they put it
(37:46):
in a nuclear reactor for a week and a nuclear
reactor and it charges up kind of like a glow
in the dark sticker. That's the only way something becomes
radioactive is that those high high powers. X ray is
not you know, this is right through. That's why we
use it because it penetrates and and I, you know,
I really have to just say that I think that
(38:07):
the growers deserve something that can help them with the
mission that we're trying to get, which is to provide
a clean product to the pup.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
And if you need that clean product, you guys, and
you're looking to make your product a little better, radsource
dot com is a spot. George, thank you so much
