SpeakerHello, hello, welcome to Hash Church, everybody. Bubble Man here in Amsterdam on a lovely evening just across the street from the Mellow Yellow Coffee Shop, which you can see right in the corner there. One of the originals, Mellow Yellow. We're here over at Soma's. There's Soma over there, if you can kind of see him. He's kind of hiding. But that is Soma, and here's the people at Soma's.

SpeakerWe've got a ton of great guests here.

SpeakerLet me just turn this down a little bit. We've got babies screaming. Turn that off. There we go. Try later. All right. So, bring you guys up to date on what's going on in Amsterdam here during the 27th Annual Cannabis Cup. I do apologize for the noise. We have a lot of people here, and we're all excited and having a party. Someone's little boy is crying right now, so he's having a bit of a rough time.

SpeakerBut I'm going to take the computer around and I'll talk to each person that's here and let everyone kind of do a little introduction. And maybe we'll wait until we get a few more viewers. We'll wait until we get a few more viewers.

SpeakerNo expo. Soma just announced there is no expo happening at the Cannabis Cup. No booths, no speakers. Wow. That's a pretty big bummer. Okay, I'm seeing you guys in church. Welcome, everyone. No one's been arrested. Greetings, Kev from Norfolk. Hello, Joseph Slurpin, Stoner Meeks, Robert Takata, Permanently High, Otis Punkmeyer, Axiom Channel, Stoner Montreal, Dominique Quirol, Inigo Bain, and Robin 420. Welcome everyone. Greetings, greetings, and more greetings here at Hash Church, here at Soma's.

SpeakerAnd yeah, it's pretty cool. I can show you guys out the window there. That is Amsterdam. Many, many people going by on bicycles and trams going by. And this is Amsterdam. This is Amsterdam. So I think we're going to walk around, maybe talk to a few different people. I got Dane here from River Rock TV. What's up? What's going on, Dane? Check out these crystals, man. Someone's got the maddest, most raddest crystal collection, bro.

SpeakerDude, right? It's like a medal. I don't even know what a medal is. All right, throw that one down and pick another one up randomly, like super quick. Here we go. Oh, my God. That's like a tourmaline right there. You can see the way it's, this is like a PZO electric crystal. That's what killed Superman. This is what killed Superman. This is the actual piece. That's Giddy Up over there, everyone.

SpeakerYou guys know Giddy Up. What's going on? Emotech. And we're here at Soma's, dude. We're live. And we've got about 75 people watching through Hash Church right now. Oh, nice. And I guess we're a little bit bummed that the Cannabis Cups not happened, but we're really bummed that our most gracious, most excellent host, Mr. longtime friend of mine, Mr. Soma. Dude, thank you so much for hosting this little gathering of people here.

SpeakerThe Cannabis Cup isn't so much about a venue or a high times speech or a cup, but more about the people that come here. You'd have to accept that, someone that lives here all the time. Yes, well, you know, it's a networking of people. Ideas. It's a networking of many different geniuses that come from all the corners of the planet, especially the corners where there's a lot of cannabis.

SpeakerRight. And they share wisdom. Yeah. Plant wisdom. For sure. Like cannabis industrial complex wisdom opposed to military industrial complex wisdom. True. Because like if you look at all the universities in America, they're all Forrest by DARPA to work on defense. Thank you for watching.

SpeakerThat's, you heard from the Reverend Soma here on Hash Church, live in Amsterdam. And once again, I got to thank you for letting us all congregate here, hang out. It's really an incredible group of people that are in this room right now. Johnny B's in the house.

SpeakerYou know what? It's a lot less Johnny B than I was expecting. You're a little bit light, bud. Yeah, he is light. The first time I, when I first looked at him, I go, wow, he's skinny. He's done hot yoga every day for 22 days. Bikram's hot yoga, which is really like an incredible thing for him to be doing. Well, usually after you do that hot yoga, you usually get a hot yoga.

SpeakerThat's it. That's why they call it hot yoga. So how was your trip here, Johnny B? I know, it was a really nice trip. I had an epic birthday the day before, of course. You know what? I went to the Motley Crue concert with Mr. Cookie. I went to the Motley Crue concert with Mr. Cookie and Tegan Stoner and had an awesome time with my buddy Jay.

SpeakerIt was just an epic concert. Just an epic concert. And of course, jumped on a plane, didn't sleep at all. Jumped on a plane, slept on a plane, landed running. And not too bummed about any cancelled cannabis cup or anything, are you?

SpeakerThank you for watching.

SpeakerSanta's coming any minute. Woo! Dude, that was so awesome. I really like that metaphor by Tony right there. It really does feel like the buses aren't running, school's been cancelled, and we're all just having a sleepover with our best, best buddies. It's pretty damn awesome. Oh, shit.

SpeakerGiddy up, baby. Giddy up. Giddy up, baller style. It's almost 2014 Amsterdam. Dude, and we got Ernie in the house. Dude, the Snuffleupagus is in the house. River Rock United Cannabis representing. Cannabis Warriors. Cannabis Warriors. We got Milo in the house. Big Buddha. Sandwiched in is Johnny B. This is a good crew. This is a good crew, guys. This is Hash Church. What are you guys feeling about this cancelled cup?

SpeakerAre we good with it? Are we okay with it? I think we'll make do. That's exactly it. Tony just said it feels like school's been cancelled and we're all having a sleepover with our best friends. It really makes me laugh so hard. All right. One sec. One sec.

SpeakerDude, I can't have tunes if we're live. Sorry. Oh, sorry. That's okay. That's okay. I want to be able to put this up so everyone can watch it. Sorry. So I'm sorry. I apologize. He's hanging out with Todd McCormick. Last hit. Dude, did you hear what Tony just said? How it feels like school's been cancelled and we're all having a sleepover with our friends and we're all snowed in.

SpeakerThat's hilarious. Isn't it? I hope it don't snow. I'm on a scooter. Awesome. Awesome. Alright, I'm moving my way through the crowd of maniacs here. See, we got a hundred people watching right now. Look who I found over here. We got Rezin in the house. We got Ramon. We got David. Yeah, man. Dude, Spain representing, Ripper Seeds in the house. Man, never forget that zombie kush. And Ramon hiding in the background, all humble pie, winning shit with OCD Labs.

SpeakerWhat was that, like first place? Oh, see, he's humble. He didn't want to sweep the whole thing, so he just took first and third. Let someone else have second. Barb took second. Barb took second? Oh, right on. Congratulations, Matt, for Barb Dry Sift second. And yeah, delicious is right. How are you guys doing? You enjoying? Did you get some dabs? Yeah. Yeah, you smoked some? Take these guys over for some dabs.

SpeakerTake the Ripper guys over to the mothership and we'll give them some turt melt dabs here at Soma's. 104 people in the house. Sorry, man. All right, we good? Can't see shit walking with this thing. I'm just banging into everyone.

SpeakerA couple of Canadians in the house here. Thaddeus the Med Man and Sarah Sunday, who you will remember both of them from the Karma Cup that we just seemingly were at the other day. Was it just like the other day? Oh yeah, a sandwich in between Amsterdam and Jamaica. That's right. So what are you guys feeling about this Cannabis Cup cancellation? Are you okay with it or is it bumming you out?

SpeakerIt is what it is. I'm feeling pretty good being here with all these people, I have to say. The best thing about the Cup is the people who come to it. So as long as we have somewhere to gather, and this is for you guys that don't know, this is Hash Church. So we're live on Google Chat right now. And yeah, so Malicious is in the house.

SpeakerHell yeah. And we're just talking to a couple hundred folks that are watching us all around the world right now. We usually do this for a couple of hours every Sunday. It's 8 in the morning back home, so make sure we get some gas with you guys. We're going to do her. Yeah, you will do her. I have no doubts. This I have no doubts. Tony's showing the turt mount to David.

SpeakerThat stuff is crazy, guys. That's crazy stuff. That's that turt mount shit. All right, here we go. Turpmelt hits. I guess I better put my hat on backwards. I keep looking down and covering the camera. This is kind of strong, he says, after he gives him a quarter ounce stab. Just joking. No quarter ounce stabs here. 32%. Oh, we have a little bang, bang, boom, bang. We've got babies in the house here.

SpeakerWell, I should probably invite someone else into Hashtag, so I'm not the only person having to talk. What do we got, food over here? I just need a drink of water. I don't know where the cups are at Solas. Water, water. So slow start here at Hash Church, guys. We're going to talk to everyone eventually, but there's a lot of shit going on right now. Like Giddy.

SpeakerHe's right over my shoulder making crazy faces, eating awesome food, huffing bowls. This is a really relaxing atmosphere. Yeah. So this is a relaxing atmosphere. And I do suggest while you're here that you walk up the stairs and go out the door just for a few minutes because you're on the top floor of an open-looking Amsterdam. I'll bring you guys up there for sure. Lovely gardens. In a little bit.

SpeakerWe've got over 100 people now in Hash Church checking us out. It's a real bed. Hello, sir. We're just judging some of the hash from the cannabis gut, one of the entries. Out of an FTK? Out of an FTK, always. Yeah. So Flav's in the house, he's hitting bulls, blazing people down. And that's a terrible entry. Yeah. That's a terrible entry? You popped a terrible entry through the FTK?

SpeakerSadly, yeah. It tasted horrible. So the next three rips we're going to have are all going to taste terrible? You should try it. You should try it, just because. No way. No way. No way. It'll hurt your throat, actually. I like to try things that I know are not... My friends tell me it's a terrible entry. They just smoked it, and then they say, you should try it.

SpeakerI should not try it. Listen, I'll tell you something about it. I don't like it. Alright, I'm going to go plug this computer in a bit. Get some more hash church action happening. What's going on, Dane? Smoking? Alrighty then, let's see what we can do here. Alrighty then.

SpeakerLet's look at, see who's trying to get into Hash Church right now, guys, because I'm sure there are a few people trying to get in.

SpeakerSo the mothership set up. The day today involved me not speaking at the Canvas Cup during the, I was supposed to be the opening speaker, and that all got cancelled, and then we were setting up our booths at the milk bag, which was kind of cool. I liked being there in the daytime. I liked the fact that it was... It was just neat. I've always been at the milk bag over the last 20 years at night.

SpeakerIt's been very rare that I've ever been in there in the daytime and it was cool to see everyone setting up booths and really getting shit done. I was there for maybe a few minutes before they came over to my booth and told me to start packing it up and that the police were going to be there in an hour and that they were going to be shutting us down.

SpeakerDid you think about that, Dane? I think it's bogus, man. Amsterdam has the ability to really do it big here with the culture and the tourism. People know this worldwide as a spot for cannabis. And to take that all away is kind of ridiculous, especially when all they have to do is change the laws slightly and the entire city can play ball. It's sad to suppress the cannabis culture here.

SpeakerIt's definitely suppressed this event. I think we should just all meet up at one time, everyone who came for the cup, and just gather up, man. You know what, that's a great idea. I think we should do it in Dam Square. I really like the idea. Many of you guys that are watching the Cannabis Cup here live at Hash Church. Hey, Tony. Dane just had a great idea.

SpeakerWe put the word out, or Ernie had the idea, I didn't even hear him say that. Well, Ernie just had a great idea. That we get everyone that's here for the Cannabis Cup at one point, we announce it on all our social media pages, we meet in Dam Square, and we have a huge puffdown with like a thousand people. Do they want to arrest a thousand people?

SpeakerDude, I think it's a great idea. Look at some of these Debbie Downers. Get arrested. Get arrested. Yeah, so what of it?

SpeakerYeah, I'll just have my D-Nail set up on a table.

SpeakerPeople are happy they didn't grab last minute tickets, but I'll tell you, I'm very glad I'm here. There's no one else in Hash Church because everyone's in here that comes into Hash Church. No, I sent a link to Horatio. He hasn't arrived yet, but it is just 820 in the morning. It's very early. Is that the Jarrella? Here, bring that over here. I need to show some hash.

SpeakerWe've been in hash church. I haven't had a dab or shown any dabs. Here's the matter. Third place US. What's this banner? All right, all right. Banner. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Banner.

SpeakerI'll tell you one thing why I'm not bummed out. First of all, that I'm here with all these people that I do enjoy hanging out with, that I get very rare opportunities to hang out with. And more importantly, on Tuesday, we're still having our gathering, the Legends of Hashish Dinner. Now, we don't go and tell people where it is. We don't talk about it a lot, so it won't be cancelled because it's not a promoted event.

SpeakerWe didn't charge anyone money to set up booths or any of that. There's really no use in busting that. Here you go, Tony. So we're looking forward to that. It's always a nice night. Very small night. Very small event. Nothing major. But proper. What do you got there, Johnny B? Johnny B is passing over some of the Horatio dry sift. Yeah, I know. I know. It's a matter of figuring it out here.

SpeakerGot it all upside down. That's fine. All right. So there's Johnny B's.

SpeakerCan't really see it. There we go. This is from Horatio. It looks like something I want to eat. Looks beautiful. Good job, Horatio. That's nice looking. Smells great. You smell it? Everyone wants to smell it.

SpeakerWe've got 149 people and it's 8 in the morning and they're watching Hash Church right now. And I thank you guys for it. Thanks for the support. Coming and checking us out here in Hash Church. Did you see the avatar for the video we shot at the noon? Look at the avatar that came up for the video we shot at the noon. That's just the frame it grabbed.

SpeakerThat dude was so awesome. You turnt mounted him. Yeah. I'm getting hash sent in all directions. This one's really nice. I really like this one. Is this bubble or dry sip, Johnny B? I thought this was bubble, and this one's like foamy goodness awesomeness. Oh, my God. 150 people watching hash, church. Maybe we better take a dab. Why don't you set up a dab there, Johnny B?

SpeakerHey, maybe we'll do a cat interview. There's 13 cats in this room. Hello there, kitty cat. Meow. Meow. What do you think about the cup being canceled? Meow. I think it blows. Meow. Mew, you got any catnip? Mew. Have you seen my new sealed unit, catnip? Mew, unit? Mew. Hey, guys. All right, there's Johnny's unit. He's going to take a big dab. No, you're taking a big dab.

SpeakerOh, I'm going to take a big dab. All right. I'll take a part of that. Here you go, buddy. Here's some multitasking. This is what friends do for friends. Perfect. That's what he did. Okay, thanks, brother.

SpeakerThank you. That was a great hit, Johnny B. Thank you. What do you think of that flavor? The flavor was Medi-Kushus. What was it? Tasted delicious. The number two, the Romulan OG? Or is that the number four? Okay, so it's the Romulan OG. I'm going to whack a little people here. I should probably go see some other folks and get some hash church talk in here.

SpeakerHere we have Ramon from OCD Labs, David from River Seeds, and the great big Buddha, all looking at, oh, what's that, oil? Jesus Christ, no, I'm just joking. Hey, you know what, listen, we appreciate, these guys, I appreciate their quality and their standard. You know, I don't get it. That does look really like it would be good if you did hit it. I'm sure you can assure us that it is good.

SpeakerCorrect, gentlemen? You've tried it? It's got my seal of a pretty. Buddha's seal, David, yeah? Excellent. Okay. Some of the most excellent things I've seen in Amsterdam at the moment. Yeah, it's very like windowpane almost. Chattery. So how, what's your procedure for doing that? This is like a sealed unit or a non-sealed unit? Sealed unit, we have a sweet leaf. Okay. It's simple salt.

SpeakerAll right, so that's good that they're removing the lipids because those are the nauseous plant waxes that are basically taken care of via the nucleation points and the expectorant points that the polar components of the plant will have. But when using a nonpolar solvent, you won't pull those out, so it's good to get rid of them. Otherwise, you get like not a good call. Hypnoid pneumonia. Lymphoid pneumonia, this weird drip and stuff.

SpeakerSo he does, Ramon knows what he's doing. I got to give it up to Ramon too. He's got probably some of the nicest dry sift in the room right now as well. Yeah, what was the strain on that? That is actually a mix of six different hybrids. We see it. Okay, I was going to say, yeah, that is a special smell. It just smells so good. They share the same father.

SpeakerIt's a chemist, a female. So there's only two dabs that have been taken out of this and they really were half dabs. I took one and Tony took one. And I mean literally after one dab, I knew that Ramon would be at the 12th annual Legends of Hashish dinner. So, bonus work. Absolutely. Is this your dabachino? This is fucking awesome, dude. It's the old bubble man level.

SpeakerYeah, man, dabachino. I think it's on the level. What do you mean? This is awesome. This is Soma's table that we're sitting in front of here, and there's literally like, you know, just an endless array of crystals on this table. It's kind of hard to believe without being here, but every one of these crystals is just some epic crystal. I don't even really want to pick them up.

SpeakerHere's a giant bogey stone, big-ass bogey stone. Look at that thing. It's huge. Soma's always cool for his magical items that he has, his cool crystals. No, how about this one? What the hell is that? I don't know. Soma does, for sure. And he can tell you where it came from and tell you a bunch of other cool shit about it. It's enjoyable when you're at Hash Church with a bunch of friends.

SpeakerYou can just lean over and pick up a sick crystal. So, what are you thinking there, buddy? Hash Church? How's it going, Ashwin? Dude, how are you feeling about, A, the cup got cancelled. You're pretty bummed about it. I'm an Amsterdammer, so it's fucked up. It is fucked up. But it feels pretty good that we're able to gather here. And you know what I mean? Chilling with Flav and Giddy and fucking Todd's over there.

SpeakerYou know, Sarah and Med Man are in the house. We've got Buddha and Johnny B over there, David and the Brezin boys. It's just great. I really do appreciate that Soma let us come here and share this with you guys. We've got 153 people watching around the world right now. Yeah, this is a lot of streams. Hi everyone. Yeah, right on. We are from Amsterdam. Exactly. So actually, if I click the other box, and we just understand that we're in the frame, this is the chat that everyone's in.

SpeakerSo these are all like the Hash Temple. Imagine if one of the legs of that table broke. There's a good thing to imagine. With local regulations, we would be allowed to proceed. That was hash stuck to my foot. Hash everywhere. Hash everywhere. I just pulled a big chunk of hash off my foot. The cup was cancelled. Yeah. That's okay. We're here. We're making the best out of it.

SpeakerWe are making the best out of it. We're having rips. We're doing Hash Church, and I'm pretty stoked about just being able to... Of course we want to see some hash. This is Hash Church, and this is why we're here. Want to shout out your, like, any company? I don't know who made it. I don't know who made it. We're just judging it. We're judging it, and it is melty.

SpeakerTaste wasn't that real good. It's not bad, eh? So, usually we see him working at the Amsterdam Seed Center with Luke from Paradise. You doing anything else here in Amsterdam these days? You're going to school, aren't you? I'm a student, so I'm in my last year of college. Like university? University, yeah. After that, something in the cannabis business. Of course, you're in the cannabis business. That's not going to change.

SpeakerRight on, dude. All right, so just going to make our rounds again, dabbing and dabbing and dabbing. I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to give you guys a little show, and I'm going to take you to the rooftop terrace here at Soma's Place, which is one of my favorite places to come. You can see everyone down there and behind me. You can see the roof of the house.

SpeakerBut really, this is the spot. What's up, bud? Hi. How's it going, dude? Good. I'm good. What's your name? I'm Kanichi. Kanichi. I'm Mark. I go by Bubble Man. Bubble Man. That's a nice name. And there's 169 people watching us on Hash Church right now. That's great. That's great. Hash Church. Kanichi. I come to the roof and Kanichi's up here. That's great. And Johnny B. I watched you come up here and And Dave.

SpeakerSo this is the rooftop, Amsterdam sort of Soma's view. If we turn around, we've got the Rijks Museum right behind me. Those two towers is the Rijks. And then if we go over this way and you see that big green sign, that's the Heineken Brewery. For all you beer drinkers out there, that is the Heineken Brewery. But the Rijks is cool. Look at that place. Man. This whole city is cool.

SpeakerThere's so much culture. People are watching from all over the world? All over the world. Nice, nice, nice. There could be people in all of the countries of the people that live, that are down there. Nice. And maybe more. Nice. That's great, that's great. I appreciate it, you know? And you know what? That's one thing, because one thing I was, you know, all you guys from all around the world wishing me a happy birthday was amazing.

SpeakerIt was like, something, it was just, it was so, so awesome, you guys, because I know you guys are watching Hashtag Church too, and I really want to personally thank all of you that wish me a happy birthday from around the world. It was a really cool scene as the time zones changed. I was getting happy birthdays pre-advanced. And it was just as a catapult, as countries were getting into my time zone, I was getting these happy birthdays from you guys.

SpeakerAnd it was just something that was just, it was like, thank you guys. And yeah, from my heart, you know what? Thank you. Thank you. It was really cool. You just mentioned that, but it was really cool. Right on. You got a good view behind you too, Johnny B. Yeah, yeah. You know what? That happened on Friday, so it was awesome. Yeah, we were happy to do that.

SpeakerWe filmed a little happy birthday for Johnny B just downstairs at Soma's here. Now I'm here celebrating everyone here. I appreciate that you came up here to have your cigarette. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the better. We should let everyone know. I like, you know, the things about tobacco. I know. When people are not smoking, you just come up there, right? I know. Dude, I like Kenichi.

SpeakerI like Kenichi. I mean, it's okay. It's all about the respect. It is all about respect. Yeah. Absolutely. 175 people watching us on Hashtag Church right now. That's great. More and more people should come. Yeah. Post out the YouTube link on your social medias. I know it's early, but hey, why not? Bubble Man, smoke one joint. No, I will not, but I will smoke some dabs. That would be nice.

SpeakerMaybe we should start a dab song. Yeah, we do. We should have a dab song. Where's my phone? Downstairs? I'd have to go get my dab song phone. People watching. And we're just at the rooftop in Amsterdam. Hanging out with Kenichi, hanging out with Dane, hanging out with Johnny B. I'm going to head back inside, but I'm coming back up here in a little bit. So we'll see you guys soon.

SpeakerCheers. Right on. Here we go.

SpeakerSo that was a very cool experience. Doing that. Heading on up. All right, so here we go. Have a little bit of a seat. We've got all sorts of people here. They're doing all sorts of things. Some people are doing business. Some people are doing dabs. People are rolling joints. People are keeping busy here at SOMA's during the 27th Annual Cannabis Cup High Times event. And I'm really stoked that we're having Hash Church.

SpeakerWe pulled it off. I know we've only been doing it for about 30 minutes right now, but... I bet you I can keep this thing going for another hour to two hours, no problem. We'll get everyone to talk to you guys at one point. If you have anyone that you want to specifically ask a question to, let me know and I'll bring them over. Here comes Tony.

SpeakerWe're going to ask, see if they want to ask us any questions for anyone in the room because sometimes people want to do that. See if we can't bring this back. I don't want the screen. I just want this part. How do you do that? Weird. It's all frozen or something. There we go. What happened? Oh, there you go. You want to talk about anything in particular, Tony, while I take it down?

SpeakerHey? Yeah.

SpeakerTalk about anything you want. You can talk about how... Okay, here's... I'll set the stage for you. Sorry. How have people been reacting to your turt melt? How have people been reacting to my turt melt? I think the overall feeling's been really good. Some people experience it and think the... Maybe...

SpeakerFirst, they were skeptical if they would like it because they've had different experiences with Terps in the past. And then they were pleasantly surprised that... It was more of a plant-based flavor. Right. More of a cannabis plant-based flavor. And to give you guys an idea, Tony has a method where he gets the turps into the hash, and then there's other times where he's more lazy, and we do this thing which is like a turp chaser, where he'll give you a hit of sift, or full melt, or even live resin, and then hit you with a pure terpene afterwards, which is the terpene chaser, and that's also quite an experience.

SpeakerYeah, there was a bunch of comments just now. I do have an opiate recovery program in the act now. And so the, let's see here. There was like a whole bunch. Cologne. Okay. We thought about, yeah, we thought about making a cologne. Three years ago, I think he's a River Rock guy. Yes, Tony's from River Rock and United Cannabis. He's been in here almost every hash church, so for those of you guys that don't know him, you can check out unitedcannabis.us, and you can check out River Rock.

SpeakerYou can Google River Rock, River Rock Wellness Center, River Rock TV on YouTube, and you'll be able to find out who Tony is real quickly. I'm sure there's more of you that know. Yeah, there you go. He's a fucking Einstein knowledge about extracts. All right. Yeah, the direct terps have been good. Pretty much. The direct terps have been good. Those chasers you mean? The chasers. Yeah, the dry sifts.

SpeakerThe dry sift with the terp chaser. Direct terps. What do we call that? We call that the terp sift. Terpsets. Terpsets. We can't keep up with all the new names. But it is something I'll say that is different and exciting. And it's just another real great way to get excited about cannabis when you think, oh, everything's staying the same, nothing's changing. King216 says, Soma, we love you.

SpeakerI don't know where Soma is, but I passed your message on. Yeah, sorry. I'm just trying to read all the comments that are coming in. Yeah, we're reading comments, so... Take it easy. If you have a question for Tony, put it in all capital letters, all right? And everyone else, please write without capitals, and that way when we see all capital letters, we know it's a question.

SpeakerOkay, check this out. We are dabbing right now. There's like so many people here. So many different legends here. I'm trying to press out some hats.

SpeakerYou know, I think this is, what do you think about Amsterdam? This is probably it. Um, what do we think about Amsterdam? In what sense? This is probably it. This is definitely it. This is it. It's over. I'll be right back. Just out of here. See this? Yeah, the, uh,

SpeakerWhat do you think, John? I think that every mayor and cops and everyone put a squeeze on all the expos and the events, so it makes it very difficult to even throw an event. So I think this might be it for high times. And apparently for lighters in the area, too. Everybody's losing their lighters around here. But you know what? Yeah, no. It'll be interesting to see what's going to happen here over the next few years, actually over next year, and what cups are going to come up next, and everybody's already talking about, you know, what might even happen with another Barcelona, or I think there's some bets going on now.

SpeakerSo yeah, there's already talks, there's been a lot of Barcelona movement. People think it's going to go to Barcelona. But I mean, it's born here, it has to stay here. Yeah, I do put Terps back in the bubble.

SpeakerAnd they will soon get access on the adult side. Last trip to Amsterdam, no more copies. Hard to say. That's it though. That's probably going to be it. There's not going to be another event. Yeah, I don't know why. It's just...

SpeakerI think the conservatives are in power here. The rest of the world is legalizing and Amsterdam is cracking down on them. Interesting. Very, very interesting. Small percentage. You know what? It's sad to see what's going on.

SpeakerI'm over here pressing hash, guys. Sorry.

SpeakerIt might be John's Crescent has Ash. I was going to say that this party has more full melt dry sift resin than I've ever been at. We're working on that. That's a little bit of a... It's not a turt melt, but it's definitely going to be a melt. I guess we're having problems with...

SpeakerThey're just talking about the cop moving. There's going to be different movements. How thin do you want it? I like it thin. I'm going to make some hash.

SpeakerThere's some really good, there's some really good dry socks here. Yeah, absolutely. And I got, and I got, should we get this? That is fire. Some serious fire. I don't know if you can see it. All right. It's like sugar.

SpeakerWhat are you guys looking at? Johnny B's Dry Sift? Yeah, that's not mine. What's your favorite smoke so far that you've enjoyed from the Cannabis Cup? Were there any other Caribbean government representative present at the Green Gold Conference? There's just so many questions. Yeah, but you can answer one or two. I saw only a dude from Trinidad at the Gold Coast Conference looking. Information on Turp Mount, you just keep following Tony and his posts on Facebook.

SpeakerThe guy that asked what our favorite is, I'll say this much. Tony and I and a group of us have been puffing everyone down with our dry sift and our full mounts and our wet washes, and I really haven't seen many people even pull anything out to put in... You want to go right down there? Yeah. Let's do this. Bam. It's heavy. There we go. Let's see if that works.

SpeakerSo, hey, this right here. I'm taking this over a little bit so we still have our questions. I think we're good. I still feel like it's a lock-in. What is? This is a hash lock-in. Oh, yeah. After school lock-in. Yes. It's true. It kind of feels like... We're here, stuck, locked in Soma's place for two days. We're under hash quarantine here at Soma's, day 73. Injecting hot cells with two grams a day now.

SpeakerWe are now actually distilling our own blood and extracting the THC and cannabinoids from the cellular level of our bodies. Of course, we have to decontaminate the andamide, re-extract and assimilate that back into our bodies so our pineal glands doesn't shrink into a small raisin. So far, we've been fairly successful. Full recovery. Yes, come to Soma's. All right, just heard from James from Gold Coast. He's hanging out with Archive Seed Bank, and they want to show us some Sift Superfire.

SpeakerI'm guessing it's Cuban Growers. We want to see your Sift Cuban Growers, so we have just invited James from Gold Coast down here to Soma's with Archive to show us the Sift and check out what we've got. That was really cool the way, when you blow that out for one second, we're clear.

SpeakerVery good, very good. Smell that, what's this? What is it? What is it? Yummy. Work, work. John's working on that a little bit more, so we'll be back with him sooner than later.

SpeakerWe've broken 200 people. We have over 200 people in the room now. Good morning to all of you people in North America. Good evening to most of you here in Europe and to those of you that are in Asia, Southeast Asia and Kathmandu, Nepal. Well, I don't have a fucking clue what time it is there. Please tell us. Good afternoon, morning. Please tell us. Good afternoon, good morning, good evening.

SpeakerWherever you're from, what time is it in your neighborhood? Yeah. Tell Burfellow for smoke tools. Got hash. That was like an episode of the Twilight Zone. The walking hash. That good idea. Are cannabinoids in blood active or are they all utilized? Well, I don't know. But once we distill the rest of Soma's blood down, we will let you know. We're going to be extracting the So Mango CBD THC ratio right out of his bloodstream.

SpeakerOf course, I'm talking shit right now, so please don't start posting all over your social medias. This is what you post right now. Take a load of this. When this obstinate guy can get his way further, there will be 15% THC rule, which is basically any halfway decent hash to make it hard. Yes, that is bomb tackle. That is very difficult. We're very much in worry of that.

SpeakerWe hope we don't get pushed out of Holland, but the way America has been, the way Canada has opened, and now the Caribbean, at least Jamaica, looking at opening things up, the Cannabis Cup could be endangered here in Amsterdam, and it could find itself popping up in another country, maybe near you. Does Tony know any specific strains for high blood pressure? I don't recommend strains anymore. I think that's a good idea.

SpeakerTony doesn't recommend strains. Tony's looking at cannabinoid profiles and particularly ratios. Of course, if you know about the prana drops, He's got his, it's a stacking sort of schedule. Yeah, so you can actually, there was a couple questions on it, so especially for opiates, you can actually use the P1 through the P4 is something that you can use as preventative, as micro doses, or you can activate them by boiling them because they all come inactive.

SpeakerP1, 2, 3, 4 inactive, you can activate them. So you can actually control the response of the active THC. The capsules you can use on their own individually or stacking them on a daily basis. So there is actually Thank you for joining us.

SpeakerThank you for joining us today.

SpeakerIncreasing the medicine, stacking it, and then changing the use, changing the cannabinoids, and then bringing everything down to a minimum. It's kind of hard to explain over. I think that was pretty good. And the loud screaming in the background is, of course, children. We have children present because we're children-friendly here. Someone's got his brand-new little baby son. And what does this shirt say in the background? Fuck the DEA.

SpeakerFuck the DEA. She's got the fuck the DEA shirt. This chick does not fuck around. She's puffing dupes. She's rocking tats. And she's fucking the DEA. So I like that. That's good. That's good. Right on. And Johnny B's pressed out some bubbly goodness here on the dry sifter Rooney. Is this the dry? Yeah. Thanks for watching.

SpeakerHe's like, you don't even know. Not doing at all. Nice. Nice. Pretty good. Pretty good. Tony Terpene, as we call him here in Amsterdam, or Terpene Tony, either one is acceptable. If you see him on the street, you can call him by name. Terpene Tony! He'll look. OG Over Haze. He put me to shame. What, did he just take half that dab? Jesus. I'll back you up here while you're dying.

SpeakerWonderful. Sharp as fuck, bro. Here we go.

SpeakerHere goes the next one. Mark, he's going to finish off what's left on there. Oh, Ernie's hitting that like... So can you talk about what you mentioned about getting off opioids? John can talk about getting off opioids because John... Was on opioids. So was Tony. So we both have first hand experience as well as the empirical data collected from other people. So either one of those could take that.

SpeakerI'll give you an example of a program. If somebody was on 50 milligrams of Oxy a day, or say 50 milligrams of morphine, I would start at a certain progression with certain snacking. So utilizing P1, P2, P3, and P4, that's breakfast, lunch, dinner, and nighttime. So it starts to regulate in the cannabinoid system. You can utilize this in capsule form or with the actual drops. I have a combination of using the sublingual drops for daily pain.

SpeakerThank you so much for joining us today.

SpeakerSo if you want to maximize your uptake, you'd have to raw juice, or you'd have to figure out ways to get the full spectrum of inactives in an uptake system like we've developed. Smoking would be the worst way to absorb it, and eating active THC is also one-dimensional. So you have to look at that as a plug and play program that you can utilize depending on your condition.

SpeakerSo the reason why some people would be on 50 milligrams of morphine to begin with might be because of their back, their knee, some kind of car accident, some kind of pain. So that's why I would offer those four types of varieties to see. So if there's a patient that has trouble sleeping at night, you would want to use high CBD, high CBN, and you could also utilize THC actively for pain, for management of sleep, and for inflammation, and those types of combinations would be more heavily used at night, and during the day you would end up using THC and CBD-A in high volume and THC-A in low amount, and that you could balance between the P1 and the P2.

SpeakerSo it really depends on the type of patient and what other conditions they have. But ultimately, utilizing that system allows you to stack cannabinoids faster, stack THC faster, and then ultimately, you have a system that you can rely on and so feel comfortable on, and then you'd start coming off of your opiates. And then you gradually come down, and you get to a management level, which I believe John is actually an advocate for.

SpeakerWell, no, then we're going to put amino acids in there and stuff like that. Then you're going to talk more about amino acids and supplements and take a look at exactly what's going to help you with what you're going through. So it isn't just being like this cold turkey or doing pharmaceutical drugs or taking it for a condition. There's other supplements like what I take and I've talked about it quite a bit.

SpeakerNatural GABA with B6, Phosphatidylserine for more mental clarity, D-L-Petalalanine is great for just for pain. It actually really is. There's a lot of things that we talk about that actually mix with Converter from the THC that help me every day. It's something that I've talked about quite a bit and now what you guys are doing, I know Yes, absolutely. I think we can draw some scenes together.

SpeakerIt's my wife's favorite. It really needs to be that. One page, one PDF. It really has to be something. Exactly. It's something that there's just more to it. You know what I mean? Yeah, you just have to have a dynamic, very fluid program. It's just, okay, I need these supplements. I can utilize X, Y, and Z. It's not a race. It's just a few key ones that work for me.

SpeakerOf course, you can add other ones that might work great for you. I'm like, God, there's other ones that work in the same direction. You know what I mean? But, um, yeah, definitely. For a lot of other patients, uh, it just depends, like, if a patient has, like, let's say, a trunk-laden, very damaged leg that's been severely injured. Thank you so much for joining us.

SpeakerIt's not something... No, and it's something that we own. Yeah, it's something that they have to address. So there's yoga, nutrition, other things that play a huge part in that. I think, especially, you're a pretty good example of yoga. When we talk about that, you've lost 20 pounds. I, I, and while it came to getting sick and just getting healthy and, uh, you know, yeah, you know, some good stuff in that way.

SpeakerYoga helped me out tremendously with a lot of different things, but of course, um, I've actually come back on smoking hash and got more into it, uh, and just taking a few drops and just seeing how that works out and stuff like that. So, yeah. How was that?

SpeakerWell, you know what? I went through the withdrawal symptoms. I came off a lot of opiates. I don't even have two, Tony, and stuff like that. And actually, for me, I was taking roughly about 400 to 500 milligrams every four hours.

SpeakerAnd I was a lot back then and I was also taking it with natural GABA and it was kind of, it's kind of one of those things. I went hard with it. As everybody sees how I do everything, I mean, I just attack it and do it. So depending on the person, it really has to do with that too, right? So that's where the dosing comes in properly with the program.

SpeakerYeah, that's why I started with micro, 2mg, 5mg, 10, 20, so that way you can start really small and you can take your time with it. Really, I remember for myself, it was about, more about wanting to just get as clean as possible. You know, in myself, I was just like kind of pissed off.

SpeakerI'm just trying to get in here a little bit. He's pissed off. I know exactly what you're talking about. In the back of my brain going, go to hot yoga, dude. Go to hot yoga. You do what you do.

SpeakerIt's just that another key. We're always looking for those extra keys, right? Another key is much more. Let's see if we can find a hot yoga place around here. Oh, we're going to. There are 187 people. Can we read all the terms through natural selections by breeding, tested, and who? You know what? I was just talking about the 600 people. What's up? Trying to call me. How you trying to call me?

SpeakerJohn, trying to call you. Yeah, no, I'm in Amsterdam, dude. It's kind of hard to call me right now, sorry.

SpeakerI say, um, bro, and that's one thing with the new LED light that I'm talking about right now that I'm new working with. It's going to be interesting to see how that's going. You're smiling. I'm kind of curious. People are always out there fucking watching what's going on with the LED lights. It looks amazing, man. Horatio took a good look at it, too. Let's see what happens.

SpeakerI saw a guy that showed me a ceramic bulb that inverts the light spectrum. Thank you for watching.

SpeakerAnd it inverts the spectrum instead of pushing it out, so it's really interesting. What's the difference between activated and non-activated? Well, it's like smoking a joint and... So the difference is, look at a lighter, it's 451 degrees, baking is 300. Thank you for joining us.

SpeakerAnd so if you watch the actual heads, that's the curing process. And so if heat and or light is applied to the raw material, then you're starting to change the raw state of THC. A, similar to a raw diet. Thank you for joining us.

SpeakerYeah, so that's an inactive stage. So raw juice is an inactive acid. And so capsule will plant in its whole plant. And it dries it to a full mouth. And that's the, so most people don't understand why I have the turkeys. So the turkeys allows, allows me to absorb the, uh, dries it to a full mouth, to plant that, and then deliver that plant fat as a, uh, delivery method.

SpeakerSo that's why the turkey mash and all the turkey fun stuff is really... Is there a time to cook? Well, if it's activated and you've already decarved it, it really comes down to that. Look at this. You can take your actual trim, if it's already dead and aged, and heat that trim. Thank you so much for joining us.

SpeakerThank you for watching.

SpeakerHey, you can do that. You can take your oven to 300 degrees and leave it in there. 30 minutes? Yeah, you can do that too. But I found... What's your thought on that? I'm just curious. My thought on that is it's like the bam bam thinking there. Well, it's kind of... It's the... It's kind of getting... It's getting the job done. Yeah. And that's, for the most part, that's what most people need to know.

SpeakerBut I like... Triple and double activation points. So, so, where the difference, where we always talk about, when I always talk with other guys, and Mark probably talks about the pizza, the pizza box, what we're talking about now about de-carving is, is, it's like the pizza box and everything being done on what I did on the 324, but you like to make a specialty pizza and pull them and now we're doing it at different times and temperatures.

SpeakerYou've kind of dialed it in with what I'm hearing, which is awesome because that's the best way of me explaining it to these people. So you can take the raw material and you have different temperatures for that. So that's either fresh frozen, the terpenes are done alive, and then so you have, that means the plant's still alive and actually cut it while it's alive.

SpeakerThank you for watching.

SpeakerWe should run that. And I just... At that point, you can activate that again on another temperature. You can hold that for a certain time in temperature and pressure and ratio based on your elevation in the world where you're at. And then there's...

SpeakerThere's then the degrade of TMC. So CBN is degraded to TMC. So here's a thought for you. So... Doesn't that taste nice? How do you... Listen, that is exactly... How do you picture when different jars are in your protein? CBD and CBG and how you separate them out? How do you separate them out? Do you want to keep going?

SpeakerNo, I'm talking like in a powerful way. The phones look like, on the pictures, they look like the, not the photos, the pictures, CB, I said CBD, they look like CBG. And they look like dry sift over there.

SpeakerI also have some anthracite. No, I haven't. That's why I'm asking. I was just curious, right? That's a cure for you. So is that separation? Obviously. So there's separations that have had to be done because there's testing compounds. So people have been separating things for a long, long time. So, and people ask me, I don't use alcohol, I don't use chemicals. And so, I just use alcohol.

SpeakerI'm kind of getting an idea, I'm just curious because when we did a separation and we had all the different types, and one thing I was trying to, I mean, we were trying to look at different highs we got from the different residents. It was all like the 70 micron, but then we separated all the different ratios. Can that be done in a way where we're separating the type of efficacy of the plant made?

SpeakerIt still can be like...

SpeakerI was talking about it and I thought with the ratio and stuff like that, it's just like as you're thinking about it, we're just so scratching the surface again, it's ridiculous. It's like you got to where you are and it's like, okay, now I'm going to try and do it again. You know, people have already separated and isolated, so I don't believe in the separation and isolation for the use of medicine on specific standards.

SpeakerThat's what I was wanting to ask. So I believe in capturing the plant in its raw form. So I always compare it to broccoli. So broccoli sprouts are the best thing for you. Then broccoli raw is good. That's the next best thing. And steamed broccoli is pretty good. And then frozen broccoli and chopped up broccoli is not that good. It's not as good.

SpeakerThank you so much for joining us today.

SpeakerOh, no, it's, it's, I know the program and how it's going to work.

SpeakerI look at it like this. Music has 12 chromatic notes. So there's now four. So now there's four, P1 through P4, inactive, that you can also activate. So now there's eight notes. And between that, you can make up a sequence, limitless amount of solutions. So you can key in.

SpeakerWhatever your cannabinoid uses want to be. Utilize a full plant, a whole plant. And what I like so much about that. I'm not isolating. I was talking to more people about it. It's just like how I'm telling it to people right now. It's like Berkman Yoga. He's got 26 postures that align everything that's working. You've got that where you can make everything work, which is not a problem.

SpeakerI know that's why I like it so much. Why are we going to have it over here? Anyway, so. Yeah, you know, just some interesting stuff that's going on. We haven't talked about it in person. So the serpents used in all the capsules and the sublinguals too. That's right. So it's just... I feel like they're modulators. We're being able to actually more standardize the dosing. We're going to set that up.

SpeakerSo that's the main thing with genetics and resin is mastering the environment so that the resin quality, the terpene profile, and the medicinal benefits are the same every time. And so that's ultimately what regulation has done. Thank you for joining us today.

SpeakerYeah, but the whole thing is they're not doing anything with it. They're only concentrating on the flower. They're not concentrating on the resin at all, which is the sad part about what's going on in Canada. It's what I need so much, and that's why I look more at what is going on with what you're all about, and that won't let me do the same thing. So it's kind of like awesome stuff.

SpeakerThis is actually pretty good castors, guys. Mark Silver, Gary. Show us your badge. Show us your badge. What badge? Do I have a badge? Wait a second. What did you say? Do you get the six bars? And you just got the six?

SpeakerI haven't had it happen yet. The genetic research. We are doing a lot of stuff with genetics. Mostly with cataloging and using software to sequence all the strains and their characteristics. And we've got a couple different breeders in the background that we're I'm all into the old ways of breeding, so 100%. It'll be interesting to see what happens because there's going to be a...

SpeakerA strong team in the breeding category. There'll be multiple sources of people coming together and using their best, the best of, above the best. And what everybody's looking at and what it comes down to is exactly what we're talking about. There's a thousand different strains out there and every strain has a different efficacy, a different pharmacology. And with what we're doing, it's fucking endless, dude. Thank you for watching.

SpeakerI think we got up to 180, but that's 20 people is, we'll get up to 200, no problem. If you just say, hey guys, why don't you go post the link to the YouTube Hash Church, send it out on your social medias. I'm going to walk around and do a little bit more talking to some of the people, or maybe we'll just get them to come talk to you.

SpeakerLike this will be the seat we can get Buddha. Go grab someone. Say we're going to just pull them into Hash Church. You guys can ask some, Tony, what kind of business could you establish in Jamaica concerning cannabis? There's some information on that already. Yeah, do a search. We've already mentioned what's going on. You can do a search on United Cannabis as well as CRD and Jamaica.

SpeakerThe Observer in Jamaica has released information. We're going to have Cedars and Breeders coming up. Cedars and Breeders? All right, Cedars and Breeders are going to come chat with you guys here next. So stay tuned for that. We've got 157 people in the room.

Speaker157 people. You got one seat here. You can get another one potentially. Alright, that is Med Man in the house for Hash Church. So dude, we got 160 people or 155 people and...

SpeakerTell them a little bit about what you guys are doing. What's going on in the world of MedMan other than Cannabis Cups and Karma Cups? I'm actually setting up a seven-acre greenhouse in Ontario. Excellent. I've got MedMan brand headquarters going on in the heart of the country. I'm just really trying to make a difference, get the name out there. I was really excited to actually do a cup, or actually do a gallery here in Amsterdam.

SpeakerI'm noticing a massive eastern to western shift going on. We're actually, Canada and the States are kind of the cool place to be now, and Amsterdam is one of the coolest places in the world. But concerning pot laws, it's actually, they're going the opposite here, and we're actually hearing up in Canada, so... Conservatives are really pinching here. I'm excited about that, yeah. Really, really pinching. It's kind of unfortunate, so I'm not feeling too downed out about it other than the fact that I spent a lot of money on a cup, a booth at the cup, and I didn't get to speak today, which I would have liked to have done as well as watch Robert Clark speak, which is always enjoyable.

SpeakerBut you know what, hanging out here at SOMA's with this whole group of people and dabbing out is... It's awesome. It's pretty fucking awesome, man. Everything is as it should be, right? So... That's what I'm figuring. You can't fight the universe when things happen. So remember guys, capital letters if you have any questions for Thaddeus or for Ashwin or for Sarah. We're all here on the camera right now.

SpeakerAnd Chad here. Yeah, someone's in the background. We got Big Buddha. We got David from Ripper Seeds coming out. Yeah, everyone's here. It's awesome.

SpeakerIt is super sick that this happened. Right? Because we would have been working, we wouldn't have had much time together unless it was after the show. Exactly. It's true. We never get, that is the unique thing. That we never really get this much time with one another because we're all busy at our own boots. Like I couldn't be more happy being here so how could I be upset about this?

SpeakerThat's what I'm saying. That's exactly what I'm saying. Pretty damn straight. Well, there's dabs here, guys. If you guys have any questions, capital letters. He did say seven acres. I think that's about 350 or 60,000 square feet.

SpeakerFor those of you that didn't do the math. Is that dry sift? That's a shite load. Yeah, this is dry sift. Am I doing some? Yeah, this is some Matt, the great gardener, some of his work. Amazing. I won his door prize. He told me. But I knew I was going to get it. It was sick. It was awesome. Here, let's do this. Yeah, he totally laughed about that.

SpeakerHe's like, Thaddeus took the door prize from my hash. He has mountains of hash. I was so happy. I was looking at my ticket. I saw I had it in, and I was like, that's mine. Yeah, I was so happy. It's actually in my fridge. I'm probably going to smoke one hit a week. That's nice. I think I might have cleaned it. You did. What kind of genetics are you going to do in there?

SpeakerWe're gonna start with...

SpeakerWe're streaming to 162 people around the world right now. D420K is asking for the link. There we go. I would love to give D420K the link. How can I do that?

SpeakerWe're going to get D420K in here. We're going to start from C, we're going to find mothers, and then we're going to go to moms. You literally just took two giant ones of this. I literally just gave you all the research. You need a big one. All the data. All the data. We were just talking about it. You got to stop, though. That was all in the air.

SpeakerAll that hurts. You're still getting a good chunk. There we go. Everyone that grows is a criminal. I know, I know. That's right. You get a little harsher after. There you go. You just get a little bit harsh when it sits in the pipe. I took one the other day. You're right. You're absolutely right. That's the key to come to new genetics, awesome flavors, awesome cannabinoid. I'm actually a lot of people like...

SpeakerPhDs and doctors and nurses and they're all coming on board and we're all working together to educate the doctors. Like we need doctors talking to doctors because, you know, people have been changing. Also for the major events here. Yeah.

SpeakerLearn something about cannabis and you'll see. Darren hasn't even sent me a message. He wants the link, but I don't think he sent me a message, so I have to somehow find him and send him a message. So Sarah, what's your favorite strength at the moment? Um... We're talking genetics. You're my favorite of all time. That was nice, man. Thank you. That was tasty, right? Yeah. We packed it into Soma's place right now, holding Hash Church down in Amsterdam.

SpeakerWe've been doing it for an hour and a half so far. Nice. And we're climbing again. Our number's climbing up. Aaron Massey commented on my status. Send me a link, brother. Yeah, I did. You have like nine Facebook pages. I sent it to D420K, Darren. So if you check your D420K Facebook, you have the link. Otherwise, send me a message, and that way I can reply. Because it is more work than a chat to try to... You should try to share this to my Facebook page, and you might get a swipe.

SpeakerWell, let's do it. Do you have your phone to do it on or what? No. I don't have Wi-Fi. I've been like, Wi-Fi. There's Wi-Fi here. I'll give you the password right now. Oh, really? Oh, really? They thought there was no Wi-Fi here. There is. Listen, we are on Hash Church, so don't drain it, guys. But it's just some omission. It's the Wi-Fi. We're just technical difficulties here.

SpeakerWe're going to be setting up the Wi-Fi and spiking our growers. All right, so now the password is SOMEGA. Oh my gosh, that's great. Wonderful. Yum. Little blue cheese given over to Jamie from Resin, good friend from Barcelona. That's it.

SpeakerAll right, so MedMan's going to link the link. Sarah Sunday's going to link the link. That's why we gave them the link. It's on. It is on. It is on, everybody.

SpeakerSo, just send it, go to my YouTube, which is Bubble Man's World, or John, or maybe some, maybe here. I'll send the link on my page, which I think I already even have. You just go to my page. Or yeah, I was going to say, just share. Yeah, this, share this. Past Church, Giddy Up. There you go. Darren's in the house. What's up, Darren? How you doing boys?

SpeakerCan you pause the YouTube video so we don't hear our voices coming through the speaker? Thank you brother. Or just mute it. I did, you bet. Awesome. D420K is in the house. That's my buddy in Prince George. How you doing? Dry Sift Master. Nice. Did I see that the cup was cancelled? Yeah, the cup's kind of been cancelled. We can barely hear you because it's very loud, but if you type even, it would be better.

SpeakerYeah, the cup has been cancelled, and we're all still here at Soma's, and we're having the fucking time of our lives. Is that Jibs? Yeah, what's up? Jimmy! Dude, how's it going? Fucking A. Let's dab. Yeah, it's pretty good, man. Good people are walking in. I'm stoked. I never get to spend this much time with all these people. I usually have to spend time with strangers who are like, can I get another dab?

SpeakerIt's more fun when it's my friends saying, can I get another dab? Hit me with that shit, brother. Allow me to do what I want to. You going to do a puff with us, D? Of course. All right, light it up. He's got all his hash screens in the background. Darren literally spends months on end making dry sets. Karting and karting and karting. I got the screens.

SpeakerYeah, look at this. This is all weed drying. There's Nyla. These are all screens right here. Yeah, four foot screens. And then this whole thing's all weed.

SpeakerYeah, dude. Dude, straight up. My friend was like, what does that guy sell? Screens? I'm like, no, dude. He makes hash. The whole thing is all hash. My hash den, man. Fuckin' A, dude. That's so wicked. Alright, who's taking a dab with Darren? My dino's just heating up. I did one and it wasn't even hot. Oh shit. That's okay. Darren's not fucking around, in case you haven't noticed.

SpeakerAlright.

SpeakerThank you very much. We got a good piled in hash church here. I'm really digging this.

SpeakerI'm going to start taking them even if you have horrible pain. Oh yeah, this guy's talking about pain meds, methadone. That's bad shit. If you don't have to do it, don't do it. If you have to do it short term, sometimes pain medication is pretty necessary. Have you ever had your arm ripped off? I got my tooth pulled. I don't cough. So nice. So that's Greg Gardner's Sweet Skunk Dry Sift, cleaned by myself.

SpeakerRespect, Matt. Amazing. And puffed by all of them. That was good. Just wait until we get on the Tony Turf. I brought my booth rip, though, Mark. Yes, of course. Nice church. Team Canada. Team Canada, Team Amsterdam. The foreigners are lucky that the show never happened, actually, because I think there's more Canadians than anyone else here repping. Right? Honestly, we had a strong force out this year.

SpeakerI'm not Canadian, but I love Canada. Oh, yeah. You just like Canadians. Where are you from originally? New York. New York, eh? Yeah, more than here. I've only been to Montreal, but I always loved all of them. Nice. New York. Yeah. We've got everyone representing. I love Montreal. It's awesome. Let's do some more dabs. While in Hash Church. Amazing. I'm so grateful to be able to attend.

SpeakerAnd at your house. So good. Definitely, I'm getting super high up in these dabs. I'm going to experience dry sea beer like this by any means. And the nail is such a beautiful tool, a wonderful item to have here. Here, let's give you one. Thank you so much.

SpeakerCanada, what? Team Cali. Hell yeah. Team Cologne, Germany. Yeah, yeah. This is really like the Olympics. We accept all countries. No, we are going to do an Olympics soon, one day. We're going to do it in Uruguay. And Team Canada is going to take out everybody. The Hashlympics. Hey! Who's going to prove me wrong? That's the real question. Cali in the house. We've got everyone in the house.

SpeakerGigi Dabs. Yes, we're dabbing Gigi's dabs even though he personally can't be here because he's in Santiago, Chile where we should probably also be but we have to be here simultaneously. You know? Yep. Can I talk about why the cup was shut down? The government here has been pinching the Dutch for a long time, not only on the cannabis issue, but on the red light issue. The gentleman who owned a huge chunk of the red light district, he passed away over the last five years, and all those buildings were lost.

SpeakerThey started putting like art and things in front of them in different colored lights, no longer the red light. So that shrunk the red light district. As well, the coffee shops have been taking hit for years. But really, don't you think it's this new conservative government that's pushing for the THC laws? I can't even tell you guys their name. It's Obstelter. Obstelter is one of the guys, I don't know, he's the head of the majors.

SpeakerAnd what he did is really attack cannabis. He's really fighting it with different laws coming up, different ideas that Are being taken very seriously. One of those ideas or one of those upcoming laws is the 15% rule. So what Upstart has said is that more than 15% THC makes weed a hard drug. So actually they wanted to ban all the weed that had more than 15%. But finally they saw that it's unfeasible.

SpeakerWhy not? Because cannabis is more than THC only. You guys all know that. Much more cannabinoids play a role in it. And also the terpenes have a role in the effect. So that's what a lot of scientists and people that Know about plants. They explain that to the political parties. Sorry for my English. I'm trying to explain everything that comes up. But yeah, that's the current situation.

SpeakerSomeone that doesn't have any knowledge about cannabis. is making rules for Holland and that results in a massive fight, a massive attack on the whole cannabis branch. I'm glad that I'm sitting here with all the people from all over the world. We're talking Ash, talking about what's happening and come up with ideas. Enjoy. Yes, sir. Nice one, man. Thanks for sharing. Do you want to take one of those numbers?

SpeakerThese are my phone numbers. So there's Paul and...

SpeakerI found hot yoga guys. Do you guys see this? Harlem Stride? Harlem Stride. Well, that's right here. What's there? Hot yoga. Hot yoga. We're all going to do Bikram yoga with Johnny B. We're going in. We're going to do a Cannabis Cup Bikram yoga session. I guarantee 90% of people are going to cack out and go, oh, how hot is it? Oh, I don't have that much time to do something.

SpeakerWe're going to hot box that place. That's a great concept. Hotbox Yoga. When the girls do yoga and the guys just hotbox. When the girls do yoga. If Tony says that, it's going to be a new business. Hotbox Yoga. The guys sit back and smoke their hash and the women do yoga in a hotbox environment. Perfect. What are your seeds coming here? My seeds? Whenever some deals get cut to bring them over here.

SpeakerI haven't really been in a rush but it's one of the reasons why I came out here. I got some people geared up to do distribution, but nothing's really manifested yet. I've been really busy. Yeah, life's busy. I've been really busy with a seven-acre greenhouse. Come to our show, talk with my boss. Seven-acre greenhouse in Ontario, right? That's awesome. But I like to attract the right people.

SpeakerSeven-acre greenhouse. Yeah. It's 350,000 square feet. Yeah. So we're about two... That's like a hundred hectares. 25,000 kilograms a year once all four phases are online. How many came in? 25,000. Take that, Major. Well, that's Canada, man. I think we're seeing a lot of Canada now because of policy changes. And it feels really good, actually. I feel bad for all the vendors, too. Brian Church on there said he felt bad for the vendors.

SpeakerI think this is going to be one of the things where High Times is like, we'll make it up to you at the next cup. Johnny B. Well, I won't feel bad if I get my money's worth in advertising. Like I sponsored the event and got a booth, right? Yep. I just told him I wanted a cup for best product. So yeah, give us some cups. Fuck Dutch law.

SpeakerNo. There's not much really you can do. That law is so shitty, we won't even fuck it. You heard it here on Hash Church, the Dutch law, 14, 15% THC. How do you even make hash that's 15% THC? You fill it with that green stuff at the coffee shops. You cut it with anthocyanin, like three grams of anthocyanin per quarter gram of melt. Tobacco substitute. Purple hash.

SpeakerPurple hash. We're laughing, but we're crying inside, guys. We're crying inside. 195 viewers. Come on, guys. I live here, guys. I live here. Darren Massey is saying he's going to be here one year. He's still with us, guys. He's puffing bowls. He's up in PG. He wanted to be here. He's got Nyla on his chest. Awesome. Where's Abby? Abby's in the back sleeping. Abby's awesome. Look at this.

SpeakerI see Dab Mads in the back row. Oh, there's Abby right there. That's funny, dude. Abby. I made a video at his place one time and this dog was snoring so loud people were like, what is that sound in the background? It sounds like people are having sex. We're just like, man, I don't know what your sex sounds like. Sex sounds like a sleeping bulldog. There's Abby.

SpeakerThat's sex you can respect. Abby. She's one thick bitch. Cute. All right, dabs. That's right, PEG, polyethyl glycol. It's not really good to smoke, but that is what the industry really uses to cut it with. PEG? PEG, polyethyl glycol. That's what's in the pins, right? That's what's in the pins. Now, there are some healthier ways. I'm not into that. There are some healthier ways, like suspending it in glycol.

SpeakerA lot of people don't use a proper carrier when they suspend it in glycol. That's what I'm saying. There's a guy named Chip. That I did a news story with that found a way to suspend it with hemp oil. And it's actually a pretty tasty way for like as far as like flavoring it. It's got to be way better. Like as far as processed things go, you know, I think there's a market out there for people wanting to get pineapple flavored THC and have it be able to where it's dosed the same each time on like a super small level, you know.

SpeakerPeople are trying to get 10 milligrams a hit each time, so. It's out there and you'll see it becoming more prevalent as the time goes on. Cool. Yeah, they think dabs are like cracker, right? Yeah. They can't amount to a... Don't start about it. Don't start about it. You can't even explain Dutchman about the concept, about dabbing, concentrates, what are you doing. So that's what I... That's another thing, right?

SpeakerYeah. So let's first start with getting weed back to normal because it was normal. I was a talent. I'm not smoking. You guys came out every year. Yep. You guys enjoy it, right? Yeah. I do. It was way different 10 years ago here. Yeah. And even 20 years when it was at the PAX Party House right next to the police station. That was certainly different. So 20 years ago, 20 years ago?

SpeakerYeah, 1994, 95. Todd McCormick's in the building, too. He's been coming to the Cup since 94, 95.

SpeakerYou know, I'm 25, so I was 5 years old, not smoking yet. But I was in Austin. I had a booth next to Jack Ferrer and Eagle Bill. I came out broken up, cranking up a joint. Yeah? Nice, that's impressive. You hear that? SF Cannabis Cup is the best cup. Yo, Med Man, what's up? What's up? My poof smells like a... Dean Giraffe, a dying giraffe. Hey, man, can we get Green Clouds up down here?

SpeakerCan you get multiple people here? Where's Green Clouds at? Right here. You just said, what's up, man? Okay, Green Clouds, if you can send me a message. I know, I can't send him a message there. If you can send me a message on my Facebook page, which is Marcus Gary Richardson, or figure out a way to get the link from Darren, D420K, And we'll get you the link.

SpeakerGreen clouds all around us, man. Get in here. Yeah, if you're on Facebook, follow D420K or follow myself. And we'll send you the link and you can get into the chat. We got you and Darren and all of the rest of us can chat holes. So we'll see what happens there. I've got a question for you.

SpeakerWhat are your favorite turps at the moment? This guy sees turps, turps, turps, turps everywhere. You don't have a favorite? Take a knee, man. Take a knee. I can't see your head. I don't have a favorite at the moment. That's the nice thing about it. Do you have ones that when you hit them, you're like, I'm definitely hitting that one more time. That tastes just like another one.

SpeakerTangy. Tangy. And of course, citrusy, leafy, sour. Terpenes are definitely very popular. It'll be interesting to see in the future when we get a lot more lab tests done.

SpeakerOne sec, I can't hear my audio.

SpeakerI still can't hear it. How you doing, Horatio? I'm alright, except I can only hear you in my headphones, so it's like I got my fingers on my ear like a DJ. Rock it up, man. Mix it up. So what's going on this episode? You got... Guess Mark decided to kick off a live chat early on a Sunday, I guess late on a Sunday night in Amsterdam?

SpeakerYeah, I think so. I think, I don't know how many hours were ahead, but they, uh, I just, uh... Well, yeah, it was like time for hash church when I went to bed. So, yeah, I think it's like late. Yeah. Like six or seven hours at least. Yeah.

SpeakerSo what have you guys been talking about this episode? I don't see anybody around. They're about why the cannabis was cancelled, that sort of stuff. Okay, well see, I didn't even know that part, so I've woken up way too late. I knew it was so flat out cancelled. Yep. Ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. Was it the solvents that did it because the cops keep coming? No, it's somebody over there that doesn't know anything about the marijuana and is making new laws.

SpeakerThere was a guy that owned a whole bunch of the buildings in the community of the Cannabis Cup and he died about five years ago and it's been slowly, they've been losing those buildings and that sort of thing and The guy that's calling the shots there doesn't know anything about the drug and is making new rules and fucking it all up, from what I understand. Okay, because, yeah, late last night I heard the dab-a-doo got raided, but then people were dabbing later as if it never got raided, but I don't know.

SpeakerWell, we've lost the mark, it looks like. It's just...

SpeakerSo what else is going on?

SpeakerMy dogs were fucking screwing. Miley, you little pervert. You little slut. Fuck, that's funny. I didn't even notice until I looked in the chat group there and it says D420K's dog is getting some. I've got my bulldog in the background and this one is hungry.

SpeakerYou little pervert.

SpeakerOf course my dog just lays there and takes it like a champ.

SpeakerMy dogs are not like that. Not like that at all. My guide dog is getting nothing out of the girl dog. There's Darren. There's Horatio too. What's going on? Hey, we're back guys. Sorry about that.

SpeakerWhat? How did you get that one? Would you show them a nice piece? Good. That's what I like to see.

SpeakerSweet. Should we show these guys? Yeah, they're all gone, dude. No shit, they're all gone. I got 18 Legends of Hash tickets in my pocket right now. It did come back on, Soma. There's 197 people. Horatio's in the room. Nyla and Darren are in the room. Abby's in the room. And those are all just the dogs. A lot of dogs in the room today. Horatio's not a dog.

SpeakerHe is a human vaping machine.

SpeakerAll right, my phone's ringing. Let me answer this. Hello? Move that, please. Thank you. Hello? What's up? Bane's right in the house.

SpeakerI guess I'm in the hot seat. I'm going to be dying to sit down. What's up, guys? So, we're looking at some package showed up, Horatio. Yeah, it did, it did. Contained some really nice dry stuff there, buddy. All right, all right. Nice job. Glad it made it.

SpeakerWe are unfortunately unable to hear, but if one of you guys, Horatio or Darren, have something that you want to say, just text a little message into the chat, and then we'll put your camera up, and then you can talk, and it doesn't matter if we can't hear you, the 194 people that are watching can hear you fine. So it's just loud in our room. We'll mute our mic, of course.

SpeakerWe are getting some questions. I miss D420's dogs humping. That's too bad. That's too bad. What are you spilling? You're making me so nervous over there. Dropping shit, cameras. Johnny B makes me nervous. I'm not going to lie. We love each other. And you're musing for us and pressing hard too, eh? A little bit. Perfect. So that way you can do one of these kind of things?

SpeakerNo, no, not that hard. The crystal on Dane's foot. Movie camera? Movie camera. Which one? They won't hit us. Oh, what, my camera? Yeah, sure. If it's a safe spot. I'm assuming so. Might be a big assumption. Might be a big assumption Dane's making. We'll see. It is. It's too big. Oh, that's not behind there. Why not? That's where they go smoke cigarettes. What did you guys just do?

SpeakerIt's a cigarette. That's the spot. That's the cigarette spot. Assume it doesn't smoke cigarettes. Actually it's awesome up there. I'm pretty sure there's going to be events throughout the week.

SpeakerThings will start happening. I know the Dampering Glass Gallery is going to start doing a TV show. Yes, I haven't even been to the Dampering Glass Gallery yet, so we're going to have to go check that out and check out all of Flav's glass. And hopefully the Japanese crew that all came in, their glass is still there. So, I didn't see any of their glass, but I know those guys kill it.

SpeakerThose dudes. Johnny, we want to see you smoking. All right, Johnny. Just my... Peter Korn. Oh, be careful. Be careful. Yeah, it would have actually. Here, we'll put that right there. Perfect. Move your camera right here, Mark. Okay. So, how are we doing, guys? Here you go. This is a beautiful sift that was made by our friend right there to the right. Who's our friend right there?

SpeakerHoratio. Horatio!

SpeakerYeah, fuck cigarettes. We just told them, go upstairs and smoke those cigarettes. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. All right, I'll be right back. Hold it down for me, Johnny B. I'm holding down. I'm going to cough a little bit first. What's up, Danny? What's up, Danny? I'm taking over now that Mark's gone. Well, now that Mark's gone. People are jumping in here. I'm going to use a mic.

SpeakerThat was the same shit all the time. How was your birthday, Johnny? Did you have a good birthday? My dad hijacked me. Would you lose it? I had my roommate scab them. They're waiting on me to show up. See, I was really lucky. I have the same face, and my birthday card will say my birthday. I wish me a happy birthday. Have a nice time. I got off the plane.

SpeakerI went straight to the dude. I had all my luggage in there at the coffee shop. Somebody come tell me where I was sleeping. I like to keep it pretty spontaneous when I come in. I figured we'll probably go to the other side. Oh, yeah. Yeah, you know what, Ted? It's actually pretty cool here, guys. I don't know if people are coming in. Are there any? How are you, buddy?

SpeakerYeah, I think we're good. Oh, I think I'm going to go back over to the apartment. Yeah, I just kind of landed. Let's see what's going on here. 207 people watching. Well, guys, you know what? We're slowly pressing up more hash. Look at that. I pressed a heart. I'll take it.

SpeakerJohn, are you smoking through all of my entry films? Do you guys out there know who I am? Have they ever seen me? They watch all of my videos. Okay, so all of you guys out there, I've got lots of friends who desperately want to know you and talk to you, especially my friend from Fraser Valley Concentrates and stuff like that. Yeah. This is Giddy. This is the guy who's got the slow-mo system down.

SpeakerHe knows his shit. He's not fucking around. That's the way it is. And now we're showing him a little tricep. That is fully fucking lifted. That is clean. And he's not fucking around either. Look at that. It's citrus. Look at that. Look how beautiful. Thanks, there. That man right there, the corner ratio. Smells good, too.

SpeakerI love some good water hash. So, of course, that is not water hash. That is just pure hash. That is dry sift. Dry sift? That is dry sift, right? That is dry sift. Look at that. He's like dry sift, really? Yeah, that is dry sip here. Should I leave the computer on type here? That makes me nervous again when I'm knocking shit over. Where are you going?

SpeakerWhere are you going? I have to go to a dinner. But I'm coming right back here. It's been like two hours. Nice, I got it. So you're going back to this guy's hostel?

SpeakerAlright, everyone's leaving. Everyone's going to want to get back here. Yeah, so, um, I'm going to... I'm going to close it out. Oh, guys. Yeah. Um, it looks like a lot of stuff going on. It's time to move this cannabis cub to a new location. And, um, Mark's going to get in here. He's going to stay there with everybody. Peace. We've got about two hours. That's pretty good.

SpeakerSorry guys, I've been invited to a dinner that I forgot about at 6.30 here in Amsterdam, and as much as I want to leave the computer and everything behind, it's a lot to leave behind that I don't have anyone to be responsible for. So, and John's dropping shit literally every two seconds. He drops something. No, you drop the nug off here when you turn the computer. Come on.

SpeakerJohnny B is excited, let's just say. So I'm not going to leave my computer balancing here on the table to break. Thank you guys for coming and checking us all out. Giddy's in the house, Johnny B's in the house, the OCD Lab guys, Soma, Dane from River Rock, TV Review. We're all here and hopefully maybe we'll go live a little bit later on. Maybe we'll do another, not Hash Church, but just a live sort of Amsterdam stream because it seems like you guys enjoy it.

SpeakerSo yeah, fuck, have a good one guys. Tell your friends, let's make it a big one. If we get a bunch of people on there, maybe we'll do something crazy. You heard it here first. Peace.
