Trulieve, okay. The bill was written โ perhaps it could have written the bill a little bit better. But what I don't think and what I tried to do is weigh in. I have some connections to DeSantis and Joe Latipo from some of the work we've done in the COVID space.

What they've done is they've created a two-tier regulatory structure where the people who are growing hemp don't have to safety test it, don't have to have the same labeling, they don't have to have licenses, they don't have to have cameras, they don't have to grow indoors. I mean, they don't have banking restrictions like the cannabis field has.

So what's happening in the cannabis field is everyone is kind of moving their business out of the regulated market and into the hemp market and selling it across state lines.

Delta-8 is one. So if you take CBD, you can take CBD, which comes out of hemp and is not psychoactive. Very, very helpful compound for epilepsy, a lot of different diseases. But you can acid catalyze that into Delta-8. which is psychoactive. And then that is technically derived from hemp. And you can sell that in an unregulated fashion across state lines everywhere.
