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

is you have to go get a control that's a like a pharmaceutical grade rna and spike it in to see why is it broken like if that if that pharmaceutical grade rna doesn't come through then you can help pinpoint okay this is the step in the lab that's not functioning and that's why we're not capturing rna And I happen to have vaccines on the shelf for another reason. We can go into it another day.

People sent them to me anonymously in the mail because they thought I would do something with them. And they probably didn't expect me to do this with it. So I ended up using those. I spiked them into the well being like, all right, this is a perfect pharmaceutical. In theory, this is a perfect pharmaceutical grade RNA.

I'm going to spike this into our cannabis sequencing to see where the pipeline's broken. And when it came out, we found that contamination that Jack spoke about here. But that experiment would have been harder to do in Florida because we have recreational rules in mass, which allow us to actually do that type of research.

That's harder to get done down here because you have to have a medical card and it's much more tightly regulated. And so it saddened me when I saw that the Amendment 3 didn't go through. And what I loved about DeSantis and Joe Latipa was during the pandemic, they brought in, you know, a set of contrarians to say, you know, what's going on with the pandemic? You know, the fringe people.

Yes, until Biden came and took them, right? So anyway, they were very good. I have a lot of respect for them for what they did to the pandemic because they stopped and looked outside of the box and said, hey, something's wrong. Let's get some other experts in here. They brought in Jay Bhattacharya. They brought in Martin Kulldorff. They brought in Sunupja Kutra.

And that steered them in the right path. And I wish I had the time to do that with them on the canvas front because I think they got โ I understand their concerns, which is that, hey, you don't want this to go willy-nilly with all the kids, right? You don't want the kids running around with vape pens in schools and making a big mess with the canvas front.
