So we got Brent here, just met him at Amfest. Could you please introduce yourself?

30.364 - 49.761 Host

Sure. My name is Brent Worley. I'm CEO, founder of MC Nutraceuticals and Vivamoo.com. We're the largest raw material provider for hemp cannabinoids in the world. We supply 30 countries. We're a US base out of Denver. And we sell 46 different cannabinoids that are used for functional relief, recreational purposes, and...

You know, it's a product similar to marijuana that was descheduled by Donald Trump in the Agricultural Approval Act of 2018. And it's an industry that's blossomed to about $30 billion since then. Wow. Do you think Trump will legalize federally marijuana this term? You know, I'm in government relations, so obviously I want that. And we're going to lobby for full descheduling of cannabis, but...

You know, in 2018, a lot of people don't know that he did deschedule cannabis. It was just called hemp. So anything over 0.3% Delta-9-THC, which is what people think of as marijuana, or even cannabis, is still a Schedule 1 narcotic. But we're able to derive 46 cannabinoids from the hemp plant, such as Delta-8-THC, which is a very common...

cousin of Delta 9 THC that we can sell in smoke shops and gas stations and online across the country. So he's already descheduled it to 90%. We just need to go that one inch farther. And I think there's a couple bills in Congress that we're trying to push through, but I think eventually Trump's a businessman and it's, you know, a $200 billion market in the U.S. Yeah.

So the Schedule 1 narcotic is $30 billion, but that's legal in states, right? Including this one. And then you have an illicit market of about $75 billion, which most of it's ran on the West Coast. So you got California, Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma even is a huge illicit market. And then you got the hemp market, which is about another $30 billion.

169.14 - 186.968 Host

So you got about $150 billion right there overnight of market share. And then you got another $200, $300 billion in Europe because it's bigger and it's probably consumed more. So you got a $400 billion market and that's just the consumption market. You know, hemp has all these other things, energy, feed, you know, all these things we're relearning.

187.408 - 189.189 Host

You know, we used to pay the British crown in hemp.

216.536 - 218.438 Host

So this thing has a lot of uses then.

218.638 - 235.509 Host

Yeah. Yeah. It's shown to grow hogs fatter, faster, healthier than traditional feed. Really? It's extremely cheap to grow. It's sustainable. It also sucks out all the toxins out of the soil. Oh, nice. So you suck it. It's a good rotational crop. So you got rotational crop. You can then burn it. You can then feed it to the hogs.

235.569 - 253.476 Host

And then you could also use it as recreational and medicinal purposes for humans. They need to get it on every farm then because there's glyphosate and who knows what else in the soil, you know? So in 2019, we overgrew. We did 170,000 acres. And the FDA came out and said, you can't put it into food or drink. So Coke and Pepsi went out. And then we were able to kind of restructure the industry.

272.78 - 284.605 Host

And then blue state weed is, is marijuana. Yeah. Hip is red state weed. We're in Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Kentucky, every red state essentially. And then marijuana is a blue state product. Yeah. It's become very political.

284.665 - 299.433 Host

Hence why I'm in, you know, the government relations, uh, sector because the marijuana history hates the, our ability to do interstate progress. They say that numbers are doing good. And I always say it takes them $8 to make $1 for me. So they spend eight, I spend one, and we make the same amount of money.

Yeah, so they're eight times less efficient than a hemp company. I remember when licensed marijuana licenses were selling for like tens of millions in Florida. So they still are. Oh, they still are? Yep.

369.107 - 388.612 Host

Yeah, so we just fought back in 20, I guess this year, a certain large marijuana company put through a bill that would ban hemp. This is what I do is I stop these things. DeSantis vetoed the bill because it was a monopoly play. And that's what they do across the nation is they only let a certain amount of people get licenses. So then they are 10 million.
