Coming from the California world, underground world, that was just a cool thing to do.

You get some OGs, and that's what people wanted.

But I really loved the people that it did actually help medicinally, really started to truly believe in what we did.

So I would say, man, the cannabis industry is extremely fun, especially when we first started.

A lot of people though came in for that get rich quick, you know, that green rush.

And the thing is, is I truly do believe like you have to evolve 100%.

And the cannabis industry was on that path.

But I think it kind of has fallen short now because everybody kind of forgot where we came from.

They forgot the culture, the coolness of like, hey, I'm growing a new build or building a new grow.

And so come on over.

We're going to have a couple beers, you know, let's have a great time.

And it's not like that anymore.

And it's like, yeah, and it's I get it.

We have to evolve.

We have to go in that corporate world.

But you really just you can't forget where you came from.

You know, and I get it.

The thing is, is that it has you don't go to the doctor's office and your doctor doesn't say, hey, smoke these pills and then you're going to be a OK, you know.

So I really get that.

And I think with my dad, he actually didn't know that I was in the cannabis industry for about a year.
