Maceo Takes a DAB at Purple Haze

0:00A: I forgot the name. I, I knew it was an R name. I’ve never had an organic moment with that, right? That felt so right. No, you’re absolutely right. My story is like, that’s a good point. Goddamn. Oh, that smells so good. Thank you so much.

0:19B: So what’s your name? I’m Zach. Zach, okay. And who are you here with?

0:23A: I’m here with my brand Seed Dissolving List. We are here doing a dab bar night here at Purple Haze, just sampling different flavors that we have to offer, just showing everybody what we’re about.

0:32B: Okay, hell yeah. And how’s it been out here tonight?

0:34A: It’s been great vibes. Honestly, you can’t beat it when everybody gets together.

0:38B: What’s the community out here like in Englewood?

0:41A: Uh, honestly, it’s kind of just the greater Denver community, if you want to be a little bit more specific. Everybody out here is really great, very inviting, you know, people just coming and sharing their different art forms, you know, just hanging out, having a great time. What did you want to try, by the way? We have some Funkytown, we have some Rainbow Guava, I have some melted strawberries as well for you to try.

1:03B: Take me to Funkytown.

1:04A: Take you to Funkytown.

1:05B: It’s like, it’s like the go-to, right?

1:07A: Yes, sir, it is.

1:09B: So how long you been doing this?

1:12A: I have been out here for just over 10 years now. I’ve been doing seed dissolving with this since right before COVID in 2020. Um, obviously COVID was a very hard time for everybody. Everybody stuck inside. It seemed like the perfect time to kind of dive into my art and kind of see what I’ve always enjoyed, which is hash, rosin, cannabis in general.

1:33B: So kind of took it into my own, making my own art So I’ve been going around every week and asking people different questions.

1:46A: Okay.

1:46B: And this week’s question is, what is the most important global issue today?

1:49A: The important what?

1:50B: Global issue today.

1:51A: Global issue today.

1:52B: This is for We Them Media and for POI. Awareness.

1:57A: Because right when you asked me that question, I really couldn’t think of something to initially come to mind. And I feel like I’m a little bit older than some people in this community right now, which I’ve always felt very well educated. Gone to college, finished high school, all that. And I feel like I’m missing shit now. And that’s a very scary feeling to be out in my own community and not know what’s going on bigger than that. So I just say awareness because I mean, not enough people, including myself, watch the news. Not enough people themselves know a way to find a good news source. I feel like if you are hearing about the news, it’s very drowned out in itself, which is a very, you know, scary thing in itself.

2:37B: Like, what is right?

2:37A: What is wrong? Where’s the right proper information coming from? Because everybody has their own agenda. I won’t be convinced otherwise of that shit myself right now, what we’re doing. You know, the point is, what, what is going on? You want to see this? You want to see that? Everybody’s idea has some type of driven something behind it. But again, I do feel like awareness is missed out, even just again knowing what is real, what isn’t, so we can know ourselves. I have a question for you now.

3:05B: Okay.

3:05A: How involved this scene are you?

3:07B: I mean, I’m from Philly, so I’ve been out here like 5 weeks. I don’t know much about this scene. I like smoking pot. I’ve been smoking less pot.

3:14A: Not the place for that.

3:16B: Yeah, yeah, but that’s what I’m doing, Jeff. So here, I’m not smoking that much less pot, but --

3:19A: You ready, my friend?

3:20B: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

3:21A: Thank you so much for the support and showing love.

3:23B: Yeah, cheers.

3:24A: This is some funky town. First and second pole, 73 through 159. You see if this is all of the list. Fuck it. Let’s actually get you in a jar.

3:57B: Okay.

3:58A: Boom.

4:00B: Now I’m on Funky Town. So if you could ask people around the world any question, like I just asked you, what question would you want know the answer to from people around the world.

4:12A: Okay, it’s not as much a serious one as one I’ve always wondered. Our textbooks are always one -- again, to kind of what I was saying, our textbooks are very one-dimensional. What’s the textbook look like in your country? What does it look like to say about us? I want to know what, what’s their known knowledge? What’s their base like? Because when we go to a different country, I feel like we have a lot of prejudice, good, bad, indifferent, about everything. We’re told this is the American dream. What the fuck are they told? You know, like, you know, it can’t be the same narrative everywhere. How were they told 9/11? How were they told, like, the American Revolution? What are they being told now? It’s all different because I know what I was taught in school, and that shit’s even different now. What’s a textbook look like? Show me what you’re learning today because I guarantee you it’s all different.

5:03B: Oh yeah, fuck yeah, that’s a good question.

5:05A: Yeah, very nice to meet you.

5:06B: You want to shout out, like, your Instagram or something like that?

5:08A: We are seeddesolvers4.0. We have a lot of pages going down. As long as you type in S-E-E-D-2-S-O-L-V-E-N-T-L-E-S-S, you will find us.
