It took until 2020 for the lawmakers to roll out the legal framework for both our adult use recreational program and our medicinal program.

The adult use recreational program is highly regulated and there's seed to sale tracking.

There's mandated testing.

It's counterintuitive, but the medicinal program is less regulated.

In either case, you are capped on the number of plants that you can grow.

There are things you have to do like locking your dumpsters, surveilling different areas.

Everybody who's going to come in contact with your plants has to have a license as a sub-permittee.

It's a very tightly regulated and controlled process.

But at every single Chinese marijuana grow, they are in some cases 100, 500, 1,000 times whatever the plant limits are.

In addition to that- A thousand times?

We're way- Holy shit.

How big are these houses?

They vary from double wide trailers to, I've seen, there's one that they tried to convert into a marijuana grow that was an old factory in Lewiston that was, I think, 350,000 square feet.

If they'd finished it, it would have been the largest indoor marijuana grow in North America.

Yeah.

It's a very low risk activity.

It's a very low risk way to generate huge amounts of cash.

At the congressional hearing on the September 18th, I guess there was an individual from Oklahoma who estimated that the illicit business in Oklahoma, which is dominated by Chinese players,

was worth $150 billion.

150 billion.
