And so everyone is sneaking forms of psychoactive THC through the hemp bill into all of these states that only have medical because there's a rec market there that wants it.
And so the whole Amendment 3 thing is a real kabuki theater because they were kind of shutting down moving the medical market here that is actually using tested and tracked material, moving that into the rec market so that you would have tested and tracked material in the rec market. And now that that's blocked, the hemp market is going to just swell in here and take over.

And I wouldn't be surprised if truly these other companies just say, screw it, throw in the towel and start calling their stuff hemp. and selling it. And then they don't have the same cost structure, testing oversight, and understanding of what's actually in the product. So net, I think it's worse for consumers what they did because they don't have... The one selling aspect...

of a regulated and tested market is that you know what's in the product. It's that they test it. They know there's no heavy metals, there's no pesticides. You know what the cannabinoid concentration actually is, and that's in fact THC and not some synthetic cannabinoid like spice that they popped in. All of those type of kitchen chemists sell things through the hemp market.

So even though things are labeled as hemp, you don't really know if it's even Delta-8. Sometimes it can be THC acetate, it can be THCP, it can be HHC. There's a long list of compounds that we don't really have thousands of years of biochemistry and toxicology on. So, yeah, it's a bit ironic. The reason I know Joe Latipo is that We ended up discovering this contamination of the vaccines.

And ironically, we would have never discovered that if we didn't have recreational cannabis in Massachusetts, which is a very bizarre story. But that whole discovery came about because we were sequencing cannabis plants to try to understand hop latent viroid.

hop late environment is a small rna molecule that infects the cannabis industry and it just devastates grows like 40 loss and crop yields right um and so what we were doing is taking these plants that were infected and looking at their rna signature throughout time to see what happens when this thyroid infects the plant why does it kill it like what is the 40 loss by what genes does it like turn down what genes does it activate where is it in the plant um

Those experiments were running great for about nine weeks, and then suddenly our sequencing data came back and it was no longer concentrated on genes. It was sequencing the entire genome. That's not what we wanted. We wanted to look at what genes were going up and down. So what you do when something like that happens in an experiment
