0:00ATreating your ailments or whatever it is you’re trying to chase. So it just causes you to spaz out. It’s unfortunate.

0:07BThat’s really unfortunate.

0:08AYeah, but I, I hear about it more and more. I think there needs to be more focus in the terpenes. You know, that’s the bottom line.

0:19BSo what got you into cannabis?

0:21AOoh, I woke up one day back in 2017 and realized that I hadn’t had to pee in a cup in a long time, but I was drinking a lot of scotch. So I started smoking cannabis instead and lost a lot of weight and got a lot more active, feel a lot happier with things in general. Outlook has improved. The problem is that when I first started consuming cannabis in 2017, it was in a place where I couldn’t always find what it was that I was looking for. sativas, there would only be indicas around. If I was looking for indicas, there’d only be sativas around, and it was all sub-quality. It was just meh. So started growing our own and got pretty good at it. We ended up going to, uh, Living Soil back in 2023, and the switch to organics from salt has just improved what we’re doing. We get much better flavor, much better development. We’re not stressing the plants out. Tastes better. And now, almost 3 years into it, however many years into it now, we, uh, with the organics, the soil has gotten to a point where it’s conditioned and the flavor’s more pronounced in everything that we’re doing. So we’ve noticed the difference. Yeah, yeah.

1:58BSo I’m doing this like video contest too where we’re asking people to go out and ask different questions each week, and we have people around the world that can go out and submit And earn 100 bucks.

2:17AAnd this is for respect for media, respect for human rights.

2:24BRespect for what?

2:25AHuman rights everywhere. To me, I think that’s a valid answer.

2:33BEnough said, right?

2:34AI hope so. If you could ask.

2:39BPeople around the world, one question. What would you ask them?

2:48AI don’t know.

2:51BWhatever you want. You can say something funny. It doesn’t matter.
