Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Alright ladies and gentlemen what’s happening we are back with episode six and I have none other than Mrs. Cannabis influencer herself Mrs. Brooke Berg. staler out of Los Angeles, California. How are you? Aloha you brought some good weather with you. It’s been kind of dreary here.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Oh really, has it? 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

A few days ago it was kind of rainy, kinda ugly looking but we’re back. 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Yeah, that feels like maybe that happens like once a year in Las Vegas.

Once every. I will say like three months maybe. I already feel like a lizard. I’ve spent less than 40 hours in Las Vegas. Someone yesterday told me, she said, ‘Honey, your legs are very ashy. And you’re too cute for ashy legs.’ And she made me put lotion on. I was actually quite grateful. But I’ve never. I’ve never been called out. You visibly dry skin girl.

No, it makes me wonder. Have you not been asked before visibly or did someone just not be like, Hey, that’s my girl. No one’s told me. I mean, I certainly am okay, this is like a weird aside, but I have an aversion to lotion. 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Really? I mean, like CBD balm? 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Oh, yeah. And THC. We love it for pain and all the lotion. Once I had a doctor tell me of eczema and she said butter up like a corn ball and it scarred me and I can’t forget the memory and I don’t like lotion for that reason. Yeah, we’re learning a lot about me very fast. I like corn but it’s not disturbing. No, but it’s kind of good though. I don’t like corn balls. Whatever they are. I don’t want one. 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I like cheese balls. Like the Cheetos. But other than that, how have you been? You’ve been in Vegas. When did you get here?

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I got here literally yesterday morning. Today morning. Yeah, I landed in Las Vegas. We went to a Lemon Haze event where I saw some of your team. 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Actually, Tom is actually here from Minnesota with us. Brett, who is actually our CEO and founder Brett Stevens. And then Kyle, his brother. They were on site at the Leom Haze live event. FOHSE sponsors the event. Yeah. It’s great to have our staff there and to have you there with us and also to have you here with us today. So thank you. 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Yeah, it was pretty beautiful. A good. A good day of golf. Right? I’m not the most sporty person. I’m more of a yoga gal. I like to hike. Yeah, like I got moves. I’m athletic but uncoordinated.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Uncoordinated, so golfing and things that require a boring board. Got it. Okay. So what did you actually do? What was your role there? I mean, I know you’re an influencer. Let’s give him a little insight on that.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

So if you don’t know about Lemon Haze, it’s a cannabis executive golf event. And it’s an invitational, so invitation only so if you do not get an invitation, do not expect to show up

then you stink. Just kidding. You probably smell fine. But maybe yeah, it’s a day of golf with, you know, C suite, folks from a given area. So Lemon has traveled around to different states, different cities, we’ve had some in California, and we’re going to we’ve been in Florida, Ohio, and this week, we were in Nevada and a bunch of different you know, cannabis brands from around the city will come together to network and hopefully leverage some kind of opportunities, and I was capturing it all. So I was with my camera crew, and we make the video recaps. So yeah, follow Lemon Haze on Instagram and that’s how you can see our incredible artistry. It’s nice.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

That’s good. Well, I mean, you know, most people if you’re asking why golfing if you don’t know most of the biggest deals are made on the green so when you hear that phrase that just means that you know most of the millionaires and billionaires they’re not at the club making deals they’re not at home talking to out too close too loud they’re they’re in a space where they can talk quietly focus on something where they can be great at and discuss those big dollars so big deals are made on the green do you go I don’t bother does he’s actually really really good. He loves Tiger Woods for forever but I did not take on that trade. It’s slightly boring for me it’s slightly Yeah, it My mind goes like this when it’s too quiet outside. Okay, there it goes. So I don’t really get into it too often.

 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I think it’s like a beautiful experience to be out in nature. But I just want to pause on what you said that so many deals are made on the green. What is fascinating to me is how many women golf right? It is predominantly male sports. Isn’t that crazy? Yeah. 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

That’s a good point. I totally overlook that.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I mean, but you’re not wrong. Because huge networking whether whether Lemon Haze or just dudes getting together to get to know each other over the span of a day and try To make something happen in the business realm, that is, you know, and also Lemon Haze is working to create more events that will be recognizing that maybe there is inclusivity that can be expanded upon, which is a good thing.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I mean to make a topic because I completely overlooked it. And most people don’t even say, hey, there weren’t any women there other than like the media or, you know, in whatever capacity you guys do serve when you go, but it’s your right, you’d never really hear of female saying, Oh, I made this deal on the court. Now, of course, probably in cannabis, or if you’re invited, never saw this, or we don’t want to say none at all right? You don’t want to say that. However, making it normal and a sense of normalcy for women have the same access in the same position on the court. And not just position in stance but position in the conversation. Yeah, that’s what matters is position in the conversation.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

And I remember years ago in the cannabis space, I don’t know, maybe five years ago, there were so many headlines, we were so excited that there are more female cannabis executives than any other industry and it’s growing baby. And since then, every year after, it’s just kind of goes back to like, no, it’s just rich, white old dudes.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

You can’t I mean, you can’t really help it because you think about, you know, what’s required of it to capital man, it’s capital. And then to most, I’m not gonna say a lot of women can’t dedicate themselves to it in a negative way. But women are nurturers, you know, in this business it requires a lot and it’s really, really rough. And for some, if that’s not something that you can kind of sink your teeth in and deal with it while having a sense of normalcy and being the nurturer or the mother and all that. I think it’s okay for that not to be a ground that you feel most productive in. There are other spaces, you know, right. 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

There’s other spaces, but I would say whether cannabis or any industry, our capitalistic society is, in many ways, built against women, and makes it a very difficult decision for women to choose a career or children. And, you know, I hope that the future will look towards integrating those things to support women so that we can continue to grow in all avenues of business as many other countries too. But you know, that’s, that’s a political conversation.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

It’s a real conversation, because the one thing that I want to focus on here on the podcast, obviously, I think, in episode four, we had eaten water technologies. And we had a young lady who was their chief of marketing. Rachel Linford, or Michelle lindfors. If I pronounced your name wrong, it was a pleasure having you guys by the way, she was one of our first females that made an appearance with Eden, so to have you, that’s, excuse me, that’s one of our biggest priorities is really making sure that integration is seen on because folks may get the label a lot of being a bro culture, being a bro company. And obviously any woman that comes here, they feel safe, they feel the love, and they definitely know it’s not that yeah, kind of sweet. It’s almost kind of like it’s too fake. But that’s really the culture that we’ve created. And it’s really a great group of guys in a great company. So we really, really look forward to integrating more females and keeping that conversation going.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Thank you. Appreciate that. And you know, cannabis is a female plant.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Yes. Shout out to Mr. Rick Campanella, because he spoke about that as well. And episode number two, if I’m not mistaken, where we did, growing with Mr. So and he talked about breeding feminized seeds, only in that town, his that’s what his focus is moving forward in this next chapter of his career, so and he means it off female seeds off feminized seeds, no male seeds at all. That’s really what he’s been focusing on.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Well, yeah, I mean, you won’t get the flower that you want. If you have a male plant. Sorry, but you guys don’t have the fruit. Yeah. All right.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Guys, don’t get a chance. If you guys don’t get a chance to listen to what she’s saying to piggyback on that, go listen to episode number two grow with Mr. So he really, really walks us through the feminized seeds and why he started breeding those seeds and the benefit of getting a feminized seeds because you’re able to manipulate a little more.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Yeah. And also you don’t have to worry about things like, I mean, I’ve grown cannabis before.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

We got an OG at the table. We have a reporter on one side, we have we have a report on one side then we have a red carpet event correspondent then we have an OG grower and a smoker. What else do I need to learn right?

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

It’s never grown indoors really. So it’d be really exciting to have that experience because I’m actually growing in my current home. Last grow season I had nine plants in my backyard, which we were at capacity. But I’m just given where I live. It’s somewhat of I live in mid-city Los Angeles. It’s very much in the middle of the city. So we had a lot of different bacterias and complications from the environment around us. that made our yield contaminated , essentially all nine plants. Yeah, we did not. So you wasted them off. Yeah. Yeah. Because it just would have been unhealthy to we had something called Oh, it was like white powdery mildew on our plants. And if you smoke that Yatta here he has probably not too cold.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

You know, that methane? Well, listen, as we move forward in this, what have you been noticing in cannabis and media? I mean, I know it’s it’s a perfect marriage, especially you now with entertainment music, the legalized places in the United States where performers can go and smoke on stage legally, venues, restaurants, public places, you know, what are your thoughts on that as the world is continuing to progressively make changes for that?

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Hmm, well, obviously, any kind of media around cannabis positive media is positive for the movement. Sometimes I feel like what content is available out there. People from like outside spaces, like there was that Netflix show with Kathy Bates that was all about like, ooh, working in a dispensary. And so much of what we see just continues to cookie cutter, the stereotypical archetype of the stoner like you have your guy with dreadlocks and you’ve got like, the Stoner was eating lunches with the flat out and it’s just like, it’s not really reflective of the popular guy. We are creating overdramatized characters of people who use cannabis like this is the sole meaning of their existence. And that’s not the case, the breadth and variety and spectrum of people that consume cannabis is the same as alcohol, like, for sure everyone should I mean, not everyone, but most people on planet Earth consume alcohol, and whether that’s regularly or once in a while on special occasions, whether it’s your mom at a wedding, or it’s the girl at the club, like everyone drinks booze, and every type of person consumes cannabis. And so I’m really excited about a future in media where characters, it no longer is like a character trait. It’s integrated into who a character is, like, even the Seth Rogen of the world I so appreciate him creating comedic movies that really like bring a spirit of effervescence to who the Stoner is, but he’s still playing like the guy on the couch who smoking weed instead of it’s just a character who every once in a while might be seeing smoking brought might be seen like it’s just in a scene. It’s not integrated into the narrative of the story. And so I think like when it comes to the entertainment aspect of cannabis that is somewhat of what we’re lacking. And I would also say that a lot of the content that I see produced from cannabis brands and businesses is not up to par with what is available in the mainstream. That’s why I love what you guys at FOHSE are doing, you really are setting the bar high. And I think that the content is really beautifully curated and professionally done. And we need that desperately in the space to legitimize. Yeah, like we can’t just create like shitty YouTube videos like jam them up and

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Legitimization is key when it comes time to try to take over a market or trying to take over any specific space when you’re trying to occupy its entirety. If it’s not quality, if it doesn’t sound good, look good, feel good. Tastes good. What restaurant would you go to if the food was just thrown on the plate No matter how good it tasted, you wouldn’t, you wouldn’t go and then some of the stuff we know here in Vegas, obviously I’m not a big big foodie. But some of the shade here is trash, but it looks amazing on the plate. So you end up eating, you know, you end up at the restaurant. It’s like okay, how can we mix presentation with quality for consumption? You know, especially with like you say, I love when you mentioned the Rogen piece to go back on that because it also humanizes the stoner because a lot of times like you know, the should carry risks Richardson the TrackSTar they made it seem like pop was an enhancer and it actually if you want to be honest, it could potentially slow you down if anything, you know so like humanizing make that who she who she was and again it doesn’t athletes that enjoys cannabis and for whatever reason she had her mother’s death all the personal reasons for whatever no one else has to make those excuses, right? She should not have to. Didn’t have to, but it goes back to what you say with humanizing and normalizing users. Because if you go to Congress in DC, they’re all in a bar till 910 o’clock shit face wasted and no one’s worrying about are they going to make sound decisions for our government tomorrow after being shut face for four hours. But you look at and thank God Nevada is also getting better with job testing. I mean drug testing jobs for cannabis and all that because I think it does add to the narrative of it being bad and for some I’m sure they do have problems with it with everything. Discipline and what’s the word? I’m looking for discipline and restraint is key, you know, in all things so you can’t go hard and everything but I think change that narrative is important.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

And drug testing for what for the few people that take it too far and aren’t able to perform their job.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

could be someone could be taking pills. Someone could be drinking, like we don’t test for these things when someone shows up to work. So yes, there’s always going to be the bad apples who do things wrong, but it’s not limited to this substance. But

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

It’s also because the people that do wrong, they aren’t defined by that because they’ve been humanized. So it’s easy for you to separate the smokers and get a smoke break. So I mean, everyone else has to say that they’re that, you know, it’s just no small thing. Just those small things that humanize you, as a human, you know, that you may not be afforded those luxuries because of the differences. And I agree with you, I do believe that the more coverage the better. This is a case where cannabis has already had a lack of coverage. And when it did, it was either negative or it was in pop culture, where the celebrities could do it. But the people in the shows couldn’t they’re like, how can i He’s filming on stage, but I can’t you know, so I think again, it normalizes the conversation. It humanizes the users. And it also makes everyone feel as if we’re still a part of society. You may smell us, but we still want to come and hang and still dress good. We may step out in the back. But it still humanizes us as users or just everyone in general, because like you say, everyone has their thing that they consume, whatever it may be. It may be the gym for some, but for us it is cannabis and we’re okay with that.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

And I would also say look at me. I look like a small 16 year old cherub. 31 I’m on level 31 Yeah, I’m just gonna shout it screaming from the mountaintops baby, we’ll take it but I’m a huge stoner for sure. I still get shit done. And I want people to be I want to see more people in the public eye who are reflective of yeah, just like the possibility of consumers.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

But the one thing and I’ll shout out this at first, I won’t go into detail because I love this company. And I love what they represent here. But they let people be if you get Without me, you know, if I don’t I have been here for months, almost I haven’t seen one person stress. And if they have been, it wasn’t visibly, you know, because of sense of camaraderie, being able to go say, Hey, I gotta go take a quick smoke break up you I bet you come back and lift it, the rest of the day is good, your content is smack and it’s killing. You know, it’s great, you’re super smart, you’re sharp. But like you say it normalizes because again, I don’t smoke cigarettes. But if I want to go out, just take a quick low, let me get my vibe, right to come back and finish the rest of the day, I should have that priority and or I should have that option not be penalized for it or judged internally amongst people, because it may not be a public thing. But it can be a private perception amongst my peers. And a lot of people that’s what they struggle with.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I think that what you’re speaking to is quite obviously, that people hear or when you go take your smoke break. It sounds like this is your medicine. This is what you know, we live in a capitalistic society that wants us to be productive so many hours of the day. And on Instagram right now, man, I don’t know what I’m talking about, or looking up at I am getting ads constantly for ADHD medication. It must be like how I use Instagram. They’re like this girl. She cannot stay focused. ‘m getting all of these ads that are talking about watching videos of influenza types that are like, You need to get your mental health right. Like you don’t need a doctor, you don’t need a prescription, just go on this website, take a quiz. And we’ll make it easy and get ADHD medicine to your door so that you can go back to normal. But that’s okay. Right, right. Taking a smoke break. A cannabis break is somehow like demonize your job. It’s not like that.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

And also allows everybody to be at their best because there’s no stress, you know, like no one walks in with a chip on their shoulder or ego. We’re all here to just kill our shit and go home. You know, like, that’s why the content looks the way that it does. Because everyone’s passionate, but everyone’s at ease. When they do their work here. There’s no stress. So as we as we kind of think about no stress, as we move on to the last thing that I wanted to talk about here was a legalization in the East Coast. What are your thoughts? So we’ve talked about man, where do we start? We talked about cannabis and the media. We talked about cannabis entertainment with celebrities and coverage and now we’re talking about cannabis and the legalization on the East Coast and that huge booming market. what are you thinking? Are you ready to go to New York? Let’s go tomorrow.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I think that West Coast weed is always going to be a superior product. Sorry about that. We just got the oh geez out here. Yeah. Yeah, I know New York just celebrated their first 420 And it was such a splash. I had tons of people that I knew going out to celebrate and all the ways and I love I feel like it’s like gay pride. Like people were just so excited like, oh my god, it’s happening.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

It was one guy that I met who picked up on let me see where I found this article at. I think it was ABC News. Yeah, this guy here says, Hold on, what did he say? He said he described it as Christmas morning. I didn’t even sleep tonight, I was in line before 6am. I just knew I had to be there, I wanted to be a part of today, today is the day that we’re just free to do it without any consequences. Wow. And it’s something so small, but you hear like the excitement of that like that’s like iPhone standing in line. That’s like, it’s it’s people are getting what’s rightfully theirs over time, you know, everyone’s getting, they’re not gonna say, everyone, that’s another day for another conversation. But the people that have been marginalized, I think, again, the conversation with cannabis with all of these areas being legalized, is going to force the conversation for those that are in prison in those same areas. Thank you. So I’m happy that it’s happening. And I’m happy that people are able to speak about it like that, and not have to worry about drug testing on for 21. And even if they do, that’s another conversation. But maybe that maybe there’s a part of it be. But maybe this is a part of that narrative change is maybe there are people on the front lines that we don’t know about if you’re watching this, or if you’re listening, we I would love to talk to you, I would love to get in contact with you to learn more about what you’re doing to highlight the work that you’re doing. If giving you a platform to share more about your mission is what your goal is, I would love to chat with you. Because I think the more people that learn to educate themselves on it will be the more people that stand behind those that still don’t have the equal access to life right now.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, being at this Lemon Haze event this weekend, how beautiful, how incredible, the freedom and the liberation that all these attendees have to talk freely about their industry to consume all of these things

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

On my golf course, when I normally would be kicked out and banned of that in from that entire area, you know.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

So it’s bougie. Right? Like it’s its privilege, and to return always to the reality that 40,000 people are serving sentences for cannabis crimes across America right now. Right now. There is like an alarming disconnect there. And so yeah, I really, I really appreciate whenever people can just take a moment to pause and acknowledge that the work that still has to be done. And as we were talking about earlier brands, who will touch on the fact that they’re involved in social equity programs where they stand for social justice, but like, how, and why,

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

What are you saying, because of that specific stance, you can’t just support? You have to say something because that’s something that will only change by vocalizing and verbalizing what change you want to say you can’t silently support especially in this instant silence is complacency for this. Because if you’re silent, you’re allowing it to continue to happen.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Yeah, you know, and I get it. It’s a buzzkill. You don’t want to talk about it.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I mean, it doesn’t matter, though. Like that’s what we go back to when we say changing the narrative. It doesn’t have to be a buzzkill. It doesn’t have to be the hunky down, man we got to talk about it could be man, what are we doing to get them people out of prison? I’m enjoying the blunt they’re in jail enjoying this little skinny one, they should enjoy the fat one, their life is good. What can we do to change it? That doesn’t have to be why we got to get people out of jail? 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

What if every cannabis brand was required to sponsor someone who was in jail, pay for their legal fees? Give them money for their what’s it like the commentary for the commentary? Yeah. Because I learned that being in prison is so expensive. It’s really expensive.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I just saw on the news. The other day, I read an article where they’re talking about the prison system, and it was over and don’t quote me, guys, but it was about two to $3 billion made from calls in the United States from prison.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Oh my God, that’s not what I thought you meant. Oh, like just people calling their family

calling home to their family billion dollar empire from calling. I thought you were gonna say that. Like, what’s very common in prisons is that people will be employed to be telemarketers for businesses.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I didn’t know that. Tell me more.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

I mean, that’s, that’s the long and short of it. But there’s a lot of different brands and businesses. Okay, I’m not going to say any brands because I don’t want to get it wrong. A lot of big corporations employ prisoners for pennies on the dollar. Yeah.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Which if we want to be honest, I’m just gonna stop right here in the Constitution that still allow slavery though, you know that right in the Constitution, slavery. Slavery isn’t legal, unless you are in prison, essentially working for a trip essentially doing tradeskill So that’s why they build. They manufacture hand sanitizers. During the pandemic. They were all making hand sanitizers in prison. A lot of them mask it insanity. So it does still allow slavery under that exact rule there. 

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

So it goes back to sanitizer meanwhile, like their health care in prison is just like, absolutely non existent. So it’s like, don’t get COVID We gave you hand sanitizer. 

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

You know. So I mean, all in all, I mean, I think we’re making great lead way. We’re making great strides in furthering cannabis and the narrative, but I would love to see those at top. You know, this is a challenge for companies and organizations, CEO and executives, to really have the conversation about how you can penetrate the market for those who don’t have access to it. Thank you. I once thought about before we get out here I thought about opening a dispensary at one point in time, my career down the line later down the line where we hire children of felons. Where you get back to the community by hiring the children that were impacted by their fathers and their parents not being in the house. Don’t make me cry. I know, right? It’s crazy well, and I witnessed that I witnessed that with a lot of my friends too. So I think being able to afford education and employment gives resources that goes back to the community that goes back to safety in the community. It also decriminalizes marijuana. So the young kids don’t have to feel as if they’re doing some secret trade when they can really be out here being businessmen, because a lot of the guys in prison probably would be billionaires, if they were at the top of these companies, because they were doing it before it became recreational. You know, so I feel like at some point, that’s definitely what my mission is, in this long term is to make that a thing where every dispensary has a story. I love that so much. Yeah, 20 kids are represented at ease dispensary, almost essentially 20 parents, every kid has a story about their dad leaving house at five, or they’re losing their dad to drugs and losing their dad to police stuff surrounding their drug stuff or losing them in prison. It’ll all be tied to that. But it’s still like we said the larger picture is changing the narrative humanizing people and doing what’s right.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

Well, I hope that you can actually make that happen now, it’d be so fabulous.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I feel like I would. It’s slowly taking its arms. I’ve spoken to a few of our extended ambassadors and a few people to pick their brain and everyone has kind of liked the idea and it’s not a money scheme for me.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

But it’s really about, in some ways, it’s like a homeboy bakeries. I mean, like different model are different, like mission. Absolutely. But that’s a tremendous

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

I would love to created where it will be required, for at least one dispensary in the state to hire all chosen to felons or ex felons or ex cons or anyone in law enforcement that has to do with cannabis reform, decriminalizing all of that I would love them to be involved in the conversation.

Speaker #2 (Brooke Bergstahler, Lemon Haze)

And that’s how you really start to peel back the layers of generational trauma that the war on drugs has really caused. I mean, it’s had such a ripple effect. But on a positive note, I should read that in Las Vegas, you guys are soon going to have consumption lounges, and that 50% of the licenses have to go to people who have been previously convicted of cannabis crimes. Now that obviously gets like political and wonky because it’s like, well, you can get the license, but do you have the money? No, you know, rich to buy the license for you. And then you just become a silent partner. But it’s awfully there’ll be some people that make their way through that to success.

Speaker #1 (Leo Wilson, FOHSE) 

Yeah, but I mean, I think that’s a huge thing too, because it’s like a bar, you don’t allow people to get their liquor and leave. So what’s the difference between I mean, you get it at the corner store, get your beer, your wine, coolers, whatever and leave but I mean, everyone wants to sit and smoke listen to music have a lounge and then drive I mean hours later take something to take it out whatever but you know, I think again that normalizes it giving normalcy you should be able to go smoke sit down chill, watch the game go home, no consequences so I definitely think it’s huge for Nevada. I look forward to seeing it i hope that you know, I know Fohse will be involved in some capacity with being able to tour stop by some I know we will be we’re just that type of company but um hopefully you’ll be back and do a tour of some with us we can do a tour of one absolutely like a smoke session that one of them chill. That’s right, baby. Okay, well that’s like a plan. Before we get out here Brooke at first I just want to say thank you. We’ve talked a nice while so by the time you guys see this, it will be a nice mixture of our conversation because she is one of the very few sharp minds that I’ve seen especially as it comes to cannabis and media and covering what we need to do so it’s been a pleasure having you with us and I look forward to what this partnership will bring in the near future.
