Me?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Well, if you're looking to find out who's making waves,
it's Blue from Cannabis Talk one on one because he's
never done it on himself.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
And today's the big day we actually have done, Blue,
did we We did?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
We talked about how you shut down the freeway and
you flipped house.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
That on radio or is that on the podcast?
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Isn't it funny how we can forget what we've done
on FM radio and not the podcast.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
Geez, But we did some great things on it we.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Didn't share with our podcast listeners. The beauty of the
fact is that we do have mister Mark Washerman sitting
next to me here. This guy is none other than
the best attorney that I've ever seen.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
And tell my brother, he smokes just as much cannabis
than any other man on the plan.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
That's true, And this is probably true. And next to
him we have the world famous mister Joe Grandi and
mister Joe, I'll tell you what, man, your sports game
is hot, your urban market radio is hot, and everything
you've done in the radio industry is fire and amazing,
and it's a blessing to have you on the show.
Welcome to Cannabis Talk one on one. Joe, tell us
what's going down.
Speaker 6 (01:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
I'm just flattered by what you said, and I was
going to interrupt you, but you know, it's pretty hard
sometimes take us two minutes.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Sometimes you got to just take it all it is
because you're you're right.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
But you know what, for those who ever want to
be a part of the podcast, make sure you call us.
Eight hundred and four to twenty nineteen eighty and Mark,
somebody asked this question a while back, and maybe Pet
we could bring up a new question real soon too.
But they asked which one of us smoked the most Swede.
And when they asked that question, I said, hands down,
Mate's gotta be Mark.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
You know, you know Kowala Puff did say she doesn't
smoke you. She said she don't smoke you any day.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
The story that guess what she said, she goes, and
I'll tell you right now, I'll smoke him and he's
a bitch.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
She did not say he was a bit. I heard
that myself, because that's what I was saying about challenge accepted.
You hear that. So here's what we're gonna do. We're
gonna be called We're going to host it live right
here on Cannabis One.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Get it.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
We're going to have a smoke athon with Kuala Puff
on Tuesday. We got to attach a charity. Do that
actually got.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Oh wait a minute, Joe, you're suddenly flipping to liking
a thon.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
No, I think it's like to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Now you're slipping back because just second ago you were
liking the idea, like the fact here and I reminded
you what you said before about smoke athons.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
Oh, now you're flipping. You sound like my brother I.
But you know what, I was rolling with it.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
But it's funny how much that bothers you that I
didn't like an idea of yours.
Speaker 6 (02:53):
No mean, how much smoke ridiculous. Second, let's pull in
can of kids as a charity. People, they kids don't
how much I can smoke weed? Yeah, let's not add
the kids to this. You don't want to make money
for the candy kids. I want you to smoke weed
when you need it. You know, when you're smoking an abundance,
you don't need it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Here's the thing, there's a fine line when you start
talking about children in cannabis and canny kids. Is great
because there are kids that need cannabis, hands down, yes,
But when you're when you're over indulging and you're raising
money for kids, you're also putting off a questionable message.
So we have to be responsible and we have to
do the right thing. It's it's important to influence people
(03:29):
to do the right thing.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Agreed. I'll agree with that. So we could just smoke.
We could have a straight smokeout though.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's good, you know, I mean that's I mean, that's
a grown folk, adult, you know thing to do.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
It's okay.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
And I think you should bring your dab machine because
I think you got your dad for dad smoke or smoke.
And then what we'll do is we'll do the smoking Olympics,
because then who can play?
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Who could touch a toe? And we'll have some fun.
We're well, then you can't do it and you're the loser.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know what we're gonna do. We're gonna ask respond
and I didn't think of that. We're gonna we're gonna
go on the pop.
Speaker 6 (04:00):
This is it law.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
We're gonna ask for sponsors. We're gonna go on on
Qualapus page. We're gonna ask for sponsors and cannabis talk
one on one, and we're gonna be the judge, right
cannabis talking on One's gonna judge whether or not it
was Mark Wasserman or Kualapus that that taps out first.
So someone's gonna tap out, and we're gonna do it
right here, live on the show. And it might be
(04:20):
an hour to two hour segment, maybe three.
Speaker 6 (04:24):
I actually for twenty four hours. You know what I mean?
You know, I don't know. I I guarantee you're gonna stop.
One of you guys. One of you guys are gonna stop.
Who's that's for sure, who's supplying, But you guys, That's
what I'm saying. I'm gonna we're gonna get sponsor. We're
gonna get the sponsors.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
It's gonna happen, and if not, I'll pay for it.
I know, I know a lot abud is being bought.
Because here's some headlines right here. Retail cannabis sales are
surpassing NBA revenue. That's right, the National Basketball Association. They're
playing basketball. We'll approach for no, hey, but it's still
passing when it was.
Speaker 6 (04:57):
Get these numbers.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
With revenues of ten point six billion dollars to thirteen
billion dollars in twenty nineteen, sales of legal adult use
of marijuana and medical marijuana in the United States top
spending on sleep aids, hard sell serves, and toothpaste combined.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
Wow, Issil Smith.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Total marijuana sales now exceed the National Basketball Association annual
US revenue and by twenty twenty four could surpass americans
annual spending.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
You're ready for this on craft beer. Wow.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
This data published in the twenty twenty edition of the
Marijuana Business fact Book.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
That is you know what's bananas?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, what's interesting is I wonder because craft beer is
sold in all fifty states.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
That's what's crazy.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
And not only that, so is fucking sleep aid, hard
sell serve, and toothpaste.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
It's sold everywhere. Elsia's like white claws and stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Right, Yeah, the hard drinks dominations are huge dude, My
point is, all these things are sold in all fifty
states everywhere, and cannabis be those three combined. You know,
if it was sold in all fifty sales, and how
many states are we currently selling it on recreational and
adult use or medical?
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I mean, you know, you only have some medical states
right now, and that's going to eliminate like ninety percent
of the people in that state.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Just to be ab well, recently launched MMJ markets include Florida, Maryland, Oklahoma,
and Pennsylvania are booming and thus more than offsetting lost
medical sales. And markets that have legalized adult use sales,
such as Illinois, Massachusetts, and Michigan.
Speaker 6 (06:41):
MMMJ sales in Florida.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
And Oklahoma are expected to surpass one billion each by
twenty twenty one, placing them among the most valuable and
rapidly growing cannabis markets in the United States.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
Medical are recreational once again, When are the fans and
people going to see It's fucking mind boggling.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Dog ready, it's mind boggling when you see this and
when you see these facts that are coming out in
the money. To see this and to see people not
how do you make it happen. You got to vote
locally for your mayor, your governor's or this and that.
By the time it gets to the president, it's too late.
Tucky Blunts, shout out to you for saying that dog
that was so dope the way you said that.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
By the time it gets to the president, it's too late.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
It's beautiful at Tucky Blunts used that line, and I
love him for it. The brother out no ons is
the spectery called again? Blunts and Blutson blunts and uh
roses no blunts Mary, Tucky Blunts and forget blunts and
what the hell's Tucky blunts place called again?
Speaker 6 (07:40):
It's the other.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
It's his partner's last name, exactly, it's his partner's last name,
Tucky Blunts. I follow you on. I g Tucky what
either way, it doesn't matter. I just want to give him.
It doesn't matter. Let's give the dude a proper shout out,
because he's that dope.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
He is blunts and more blunts and more. I wasn't
here Tucky is last night. I said you the information
on it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Hey, but Tucky, Tucky's last name is Blunts and hers
is more.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Did you realize that you have it for the list.
How do you even put that out and you weren't
even here. That's great because I thought I was going
to be, Oh, we're supposed to be here for that show.
That's pretty normal.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
But yeah, so anyhow he had, he had a lot
of knowledge action. That dude was not on points, you know,
I'll tell you what. He was a good, fantastic person
to work with. And coming from the social equity it's
very nice to see as social equity applicant have the
ability to have an amazing uh you know, business sense
towards this, because there's a lot of people that are saying,
you know, the social equity applicants aren't going to be
(08:35):
sophisticated enough to run and operate businesses, which I've actually
had that thought in my in my mind as well,
and in some cases, and it's true, it's going to
be true in some cases. And some sophisticated people don't
know how to run cannabis companies either, So let's just
get that straight too. And some people are doing the
smart thing and just grabbing key people. I don't know
if you guys have seen this and heard it. I'm
sure you have. I'm saying everybody out there, but Cheech
(08:57):
and Chong are finally getting their due diligence.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
I mean, are you gonna break it down? You want
to take you want to share it? That was definitely no.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
I mean, it's just it's just it's all of the above,
right because now Cheach and Chalk and finally capitalize on
their iconic movies that they've been doing up in Smoke
and their whole franchise, and they finally group up with
five point holdings. And it's like funny to think that,
you know, they're not just gonna do it here in California.
They got five states, Arizona, California, Illinois, Nevada, and Washington.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
And I think this is well overdue. I mean, you
know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'll tell you what Chichen Chong have done, you know,
a very fantastic job of staying separate for a long time.
And what I mean by that is this is that
they have never been promoting together in cannabis. They've been
doing their own things. So Tommy Chung's been doing his
own thing.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Tommy Chong had his great bongs.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
Always brand is the most protected, so you know, five
Points coming in and offering them you know, millions of
dollars obviously or something that there's something there that they
must have just persuaded them to.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Do the Cheach and Chong brand, because that, my friends,
is going to be next level.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Because they should have. They should have.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
You know, I thought for sure they should have had
a Cheach and Chong products out. Everything should have been
rolled out a long time ago. But they waited it
out and they got the right deal.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
But the funny part about this is I think about
it and us on this panel, and probably everybody in
this room. Maybe Peanut is probably the youngest and Jennifer,
but we all know Cheach and Chong. My point is
those that are twenty seven and younger and you start
smoking at twenty five, you know.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
Twenty one don't know exactly my point.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You know, it's like, you know, are they going to
be oh yeah, So, Peanut, do you know who cheachin
Chong is? I mean, of course, you know what you
just look good? Okay, Jennifer, do you know who Cheaching Chongs?
I thought he was sixty three. Well you never know
when you grew up in a family that have you
watching him. But I'm just thank you is and I
(10:57):
say it is Joe that sometimes.
Speaker 6 (11:00):
So we got to get your your glasses fixed. I mean,
you're you're lacing fixed.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (11:04):
So we'll be right back after this break. Just kidding.
So where are we going? I gotta go get ice.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
But no, the point is that, you know, as they're
opening up in five states, and it's smart and I
think it's great because let's just face it, the people
that are going into dispensaries are older anyways, right, So
finding this demographic, all of us are gonna want to
go to one of these stores.
Speaker 6 (11:22):
Period.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
I'm gonna want to go just off the name alone.
I want to go into a Cheach and Chung dispensary
novel exactly, I want it. It's like an Elvis pressy store.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Oh my god, I gotta go there. Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Let me say this too, though, is do the young
ones want to? Well no, let me let me ask
you this though, is that I don't think the young
ones do want to. I don't think they they have
a stake in the game because.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Dads are gonna, Mom, We're gonna take them in there.
Come on, We're going to the shop.
Speaker 6 (11:45):
Here.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Here's why I'm a fan of Cheaching Chong in my opinion,
I'm a fan of them because of what they've done
for the community. I'm a fan of them personally, you know,
as as human beings. I've got to sit with them.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And so they're they're just good people that stand for
the cannabis community and that. And Tommy has actually done
time for this, you know, for.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
The bond and they're expensive plia.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, just for the bongs and and so when you
think of it, though, you know, do I want to
go there? Yes, But I am also concerned and not
too much. I'm sure Five Points is a very sophisticated company.
They're going to blow it through the roof. But there
may be the thought that it's just you know, it
is novelty and a lot of novelty things, don't you know.
They're quick sells fast, you know, So if they have
the right locations in the right places, it'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Oh, I'm sure it is in some statements that they
made Tommy Chung said. Cheech and I have waited patiently
to find the right combination of talent and the right
team to trust.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
With the Chiach and Chong properties.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
We both pursued our own individual projects, knowing if the
right opportunity came along, we would do something with our
Cheach and Chong brand, and with five point holdings, we
have the winning combination. And Cheech went out and said,
the Cheach and Chong movies, songs and comedy bits have
helped shape and mold the weed culture.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
As we know it today.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Now we're bringing that trusted, funny and familiar cannabis comedy
experience into the store environments.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
I'm almost hoping, dude, they have like the whole Remember.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
When they gotta do a movie, they gotta do some
type of movie.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
But remember when.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
They do like the joint and the car with the
nuns in there, Like I almost want to see a
station wagon with the nuns in this fucking shop, you
know what, This stupid ship like that in the movie,
Like pissing on somebody pissed on the dude in the bathroom.
Speaker 6 (13:34):
I just see that mark doing that to somebody on it.
I can't see.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I can't see like a Cheech and Chong revolution movie.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
You know. Yeah, it's just something coming.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Don't look at his neck, whatever you do, don't look
at his neck.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
It's it's fun and it's it's fun, and I do
hope that they actually, you know, uh, do shoot a
new movie in a new production behind it, because you know,
they deserve the the the credit work credits due because
again there are a pair of Hispanics that have came
out into this culture way before their time and really
stood behind it when a lot of people didn't want
(14:11):
to stand behind it and didn't really get it. But
they did, you know, because in the seventies and eighties,
you know, there was a lot of cannabis smoke. I mean,
you know, seventies it was a big time for smoking.
But again it turned into this like negative thing.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Taboo, the whole propaganda everything else. One other thing that
the president of Five Point Holding said that he said
a lot of things, obviously, but one thing that stands
out that I really like from Danny Keith. He's the
president of Five Point Holding. He says, we're going to
open Cheech and Chong dispensaries.
Speaker 6 (14:40):
All over the world.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
And you know that just that line right there sums
up everything great about what he had to say about them.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
And there's a lot of great things he has to
say about.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Them and why this company joined forces, but to give
that stamp of you know, we're starting in five states
right now, the five states I've mentioned, but to say
we're going to open all over the world, that's the
type of love that they're gonna get and deserve.
Speaker 6 (15:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
I mean, these guys are literally the pioneers of this,
you know what I mean, Like, let's just face it,
who before Cheech and Chong made a movie about cannabis
to remotely this level and a cool level because this.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Was cool and funny, you know what I mean. I
can't think of one movie that was there really is.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I mean, they had like smoking and drugs and coke
and certain random movies.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
I mean, Friday was a great movie. Today, wasn't before that?
Speaker 4 (15:36):
After I said before I said that the pioneers saying,
who else has ever done it? There was I'm trying
to think of movies that would go further back like that.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
I mean, I don't think there really was one.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I mean, when you think about cannabis movies, you think
refer madness.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
Well, no, than I think of Fast Times at Ridgemont High,
which is around that same time.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
It was still after cheating, it was still after teaching.
I mean, definitely people had cannabis in their movies. You know,
but I don't know that they were based around like, yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:10):
It made out of made out of the cannabis.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
No that, what about the chick in the back with
the big old boobes smoking and playing.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
It was just funny, fun movies like that.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
You just watched those. These are the iconic. I can't
wait to watch that movie with myself.
Speaker 6 (16:23):
You know.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I often wonder Ajax, Oh, there's like just monumental moments
in these times and he's wearing the pink Tu Tu
and they're playing.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
Oh god, the songs and loaded up.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
It was just great, you know, and you think about
iconic guys like that, and you think of somebody like
a notorious b I G. You know, I mean, gone
too long And it was so cool. How we caught
up with his son C J.
Speaker 6 (16:48):
Wallace and we're gonna come back and play that.
Speaker 2 (16:49):

me of the pop there's a Law and Joe Brande

in the country.

The world galaxy.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Either way, you guys, it's the best cannabis talk show
out there and the only one that is sitting down
with mister C. J. Wallace and Willie Mack from Think
Big Brand. And not only when we say Think Big Brand,
Willie Mack already recognized the g that I am and
said Joe Brande from the radio. So that's props to
Willie Mack for knowing his history. But as I mentioned
(17:27):
the word history, I got to turn and look at CJ. Wallace,
And when we say history, you got to know the
name Wallace and know that is the son of the
history best rapper in the world in my book, The
Notorious Big Sun. So ripn your pops right there, chance
down And before we even get to the interview and
talking to you guys, I wanted to present you with
(17:48):
this picture that I have of your father and I.
This picture, ironically is three days before he passed away. Wow,
we did his last interview ever on radio. It was
called the Doghouse in San Francisco. That's the same interview
that they played on.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Tour with Puffy. They played clips of it. Yeah, that's
that tour, that's that studio, that's that room right there.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I have that shirt.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
So that the show.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
We were chilling together, me and him and little Seas
right when he came up.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
We're the same age.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
His birthday's the May twenty first, the same birthday as
my brother.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
So ironically we hit it off.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Great, slapped hands, smoke blunts, hung out your dad eye,
Little Season, my boy little Rich hung out in front
of San Francisco all night and he was the best
dude ever, Like hands down. We just met and we
just had this great connection. Plus I gave him an
ounce a week so that didn't you know that I
loved you?
Speaker 7 (18:43):
He definitely loved you. He definitely was.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
I mean, I was like, welcome to Kelly, here's some
Kelly Green, and he was like, I love this d.
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Friends for life.
Speaker 6 (18:52):
Yeah, it makes it really easy to be buddies after that.
So you guys got this brand.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Think Big brand is Think Big because of Big Pop.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
What is it about?
Speaker 8 (19:01):
I always saw think Big, just the words growing up
and seeing them on T shirts, not even from shirts
that the estate we have the clothing line that my
dad made, Brooklyn Mint and my grandmother still runs the
clothing line.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
Just growing up and seeing Think Big on T shirts.
Speaker 8 (19:19):
Remember there were a couple Sean John Think Big T
shirts that were surfacing and it was always in my
head just think big, and not only think about big,
but just think bigger than where you are right now.
So I've always wanted to continue the legacy and make
it huge and ways that he couldn't have imagined. So
(19:40):
that was really the story behind Think Big.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yeah, and it feels like it's gone to places.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I mean, your dad leaves a legacy for you guys
to continue on like this. And you mentioned Sean John though,
did Sean try to come in with this Think Big brand?
Speaker 7 (19:53):
I definitely, I talked to him about it. You know.
Speaker 8 (19:55):
I definitely wanted to kind of do it my own
way and get as much help as I needed, but
I didn't want to ask for any favors from anybody,
and you know, build it yourself.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Yeah, I wanted to.
Speaker 8 (20:07):
I wanted to build something for myself and luckily, with
the help of my business partner and yeah co founder,
we managed to do that.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
I mean, the idea was like, how do we take
the legacy that's there and build a legacy for CJ's
kids and build a legacy that we.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
Can build upon, on, build upon and grow it bigger
than you know what we all have.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
I mean, so much to Think Big is about how
do we Think Bigger about this industry, our responsibility to
this industry, to each other, and our responsibility to all
the people who've been suffering by the illegal civilization.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
Of cannabis, and how do we how do we really
fight for that?
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Sure? So what what does Think Big?
Speaker 7 (20:40):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Explain it?
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yeah, the company got.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
Think Big is really the social platform and kind of
the the red if you will. And we're going to
be launching you know, a bunch of cannabis products, non
cannabis products, uh, coming twenty twenty. So Think Big will
be like the social platform, will develop content really continue
(21:05):
to talk about legalization and social justice and all of that.
And we're launching Frank White, which will be the actual
cannabis friend Frank White.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Frank White. Frank White. Do you know about Frank White?
Speaker 6 (21:16):
You know that? You know, you know that, you know,
somebody tell my brother guy.
Speaker 9 (21:25):
So Frank White is if you don't know if based upon.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
The it's a name that Biggie had.
Speaker 9 (21:30):
It was from the movie The King of New York
in nineteen ninety Chris Were Walking Still. I think one
of his amazing best roles plays the gangster Frank White,
who is the King of New York Indo Biggie being
the king of New York, being king of hip hop.
That name is an alias Tubac called of the New
Black Frank White, So it's the name another name that
CJ always.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Kind of had this hard we want to bring back.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
And Frank White is really focused on cannabis as a
as a catalyst for creativity.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
And William Mack are you an LA guy.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
I'm a New York guy, but I live in La now.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Okay, because you know the history is so I'm just
wondering how your LA roots knew my radio history from
back in the day.
Speaker 9 (22:04):
So, I mean I had a lot of time, spent
a lot of time out here. I've been coming out
here since. I one of those New Yorkers who always
loved La quietly.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Which not you love?
Speaker 7 (22:12):
Come on, if the beach is weed, it's Hollywood. It's
like the Hills parties.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Like I know you CBXPO.
Speaker 6 (22:20):
How did you guys connect?
Speaker 9 (22:21):
We got introduced by mutual lawyer Eric Shevin. Yeah, yeah,
everybody knows that Eric group. They're best man.
Speaker 6 (22:29):
Yeah. And it just it's in chemistry Bloom that's going
to start this.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
It started last summer. He kind of took me through
a crazy, just intense kind of to see where my
mind was. He wasn't really sure, like, yeah, just am
I gonna get into business with some twenty one year
olds that I really don't know?
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Did you guys go out to the desert? I mean
it really was.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
It was really a soul search for me and and
understanding what was it that I wanted to do. Not
just start some company name it Biggie Bones, Biggie Blunts
or something, and make something for money, but really do
something that's gonna give back, not only to people that
look like me, but everyone, something that's for everybody, and
everybody can reach and be able to touch and identify with.
(23:16):
And everybody who loves Biggie knows his love for cannabis.
So I just want to give everyone the real story.
He comes from Jamaica. It's so much more to the
story than people know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yeah, I think one of the things for you know,
your your your father being such an icon in music history.
I mean he he's one of the biggest, you know,
rappers in the world and still to this day this
day and still to this day, Biggie's malls, you're like
biggest malls. I mean, everybody in this crowd knows exactly. Yeah,
he's the illest, right. So I mean you're talking about,
you know, generations that have grown to hear and then
(23:46):
for you guys now to be taking a new project
to the to the to the forefront and of bringing
it back out and then expressing your story. How how
does it? How does it feel? Because I mean, one, obviously,
you know it's difficult, right, you have lost your father.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
Yeah, you know, let's get back.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah, I mean it's hard, right, you know, so everybody
else is like, oh, Biggie, we love Biggie, but you
lost Pops, you know.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
What I mean?
Speaker 2 (24:11):
And so so then and then now you're here, and
then it's it's hard because there's so many people that know.
Like you say that, it's instant, like we all take
our hats off. It's like, what's up?
Speaker 6 (24:20):
You know? Is that helping you right now? Is it
hindering you? Is it messing with your mind?
Speaker 8 (24:24):
I mean, I've got so many good people in my
corner that have been keeping me head straight and putting
the blinders on, just losing all the distractions. Shout out
to my grandma and my dad and my mom and
everybody that raised me sure, just making sure that I
stayed the course and didn't fall off. And I mean,
I don't know where I'd be without those great people, and.
Speaker 9 (24:47):
Generation still loves and knows them, so be able to
have that sort of universal love to so many people,
I mean, spread love is the Bloken way, the idea
of mean, you know, we love cannabis, We love this industry.
Speaker 7 (24:56):
We believe that cannabis.
Speaker 9 (24:57):
Can connect the world in the way that no other
plant can, and we want.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
To sort of spread that.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
We want to spread the idea of cannabis connecting to
the flow states, connecting to creativity, so we can be
the best person you can be. You can you can
really express yourself and not and be unafraid of being yourself.
Is what Biggie was about.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
What we're all about.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yeah, No, I find it awesome that you guys have
found each other, you know, and it's it's it's like
you said, you said it first.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
You're twenty one, Yeah, back up rightwn twenty two, you know,
But being being that age, I mean, you know, I
wasn't even thinking of of business.
Speaker 6 (25:40):
I mean I was, but me, you were selling weed
back then. I'm saying I'm saying you're talking.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
About you know, I'm saying I think that it comes
from you have a good root system. You know, you've
got some real good roots and and and and because
of the.
Speaker 11 (25:57):
Mark Craig and I were thinking that you you were
doing it or I had an empire at twenty one,
but let's just not put that out there.
Speaker 12 (26:11):
On the business side of this, is your company getting
your own licenses or are you trying to.
Speaker 9 (26:16):
Yeah, we're gonna be partnering with licensed manufacturers and all
the various jurisdictions you want to be in because we're
ultimately looking to build a global brand as well, and
not just THHD products, but non TFC products as well,
and also limited like Capital Collection, Fashion APPERIL because when
we launched, one of the biggest things we have a
lot of people asking about it is like when you
come to New York, when you come to DC, when
you come to like, how can we support what you're doing,
(26:38):
We're like, well, New York needs to figure out their
laws and like to get things done right now.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Alifornia still does too.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Have you has already started to line up with some
of those licensed facilities?
Speaker 6 (26:47):
Are you looking to because I mean, I know a few.
Speaker 9 (26:49):
Yeah, we we list were a short list and we
all down you.
Speaker 7 (26:53):
Know what we want to hear about it.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Here's why I like the idea, right, I mean, and
and I'm just gonna speak on it. One is you
can put this product out and you guys could take
it viral really quickly with the support that I believe
that will step forward if if it's right, if it's
the right time.
Speaker 6 (27:10):
It can't just be fast food. It's got to be
real and I believe it is. And if it is
real and it's it's it can really go.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
And because I think that the support that you guys
will put out there, it can go off the chain.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I mean, you know.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
