BubblemanAll right. Here we are, everybody. Welcome to Hash Church. Hash Church number, what are we at, 11? Number 12? We are at number 11 now. Interesting. Well, welcome, everyone. I know a lot of you have been waiting anxiously for Hash Church to start. Got a whack of people in the chat right now, in the YouTube chat, from Chris V, Johnny Burfellow, Bobus Back, Wake Kofiko, Mohash, Master Yip, Bobloke, Jim Jones, Wanda Harris, and many others.

BubblemanI can only see the ones that are typing at this very moment, so can't see anything else. Oh, here we go.

SpeakerCome here, dude.

BubblemanHey, good morning. John, how are you?

SpeakerI'm always very well. It's Hash Church Sunday.

BubblemanYou're always very well. Well, that's good. It's good to be well. I can't complain with being well. I'm glad that your audio is organized today because it is the 11th Hash Church. I think this is the first time you got it right. It's the map now. Yeah, thank you. The PC is not Hash Church friendly. No cell phone, no PC, using the Mach-E. See how you can talk with your hands and it doesn't make you blurry?

BubblemanBecause you do this when you talk. And on your PC, what it was doing was it was grabbing your hands and making you all blurry. And we don't want you blurry. We need John as clear as a bell.

SpeakerI was looking at how cool your pictures were and they look awesome.

BubblemanDane's in the house, number two. I just sent the... Chat out to, oh, about 10 of us. Welcome Horatio.

SpeakerGood morning, Horatio.

BubblemanWhat's going on? Why don't we just start with what Horatio's smoking. We can start by telling everyone what his vaporizer is today so you don't have to ask for the next 50 to 120 minutes.

SpeakerFair enough. It's the same IPV3. It's a dual battery box mod. And guys can smoke like cigars with it. And give RDA tips. This one is Plume Veil. And start Googling, let's say, Rip Trippers on YouTube and start studying why smoking is dead and vaping is the future.

BubblemanRight. I saw a guy using one of those yesterday on a YouTube channel. And the clouds, I mean obviously it's also the glycerin and whatever juice is going in there because I'll tell you, the clouds this guy was exhaling were the most ridiculous. I watched it about five times thinking it had to be photoshopped because it was about 10 to 15 times thicker than what you're currently exhaling.

BubblemanYeah. I just couldn't believe it. And he was standing kind of in a sort of weird lit room where the light was kind of behind him. Man, the clouds that he was exhaling. We're ridiculous. It was like movie ridiculous.

SpeakerThey call them cloud chasers.

BubblemanWow. I feel that. Because that is... That's John without his phone. It's still making sound. He just told me three minutes ago. He literally said three minutes ago. My phone's turned off.

SpeakerI got it all sorted.

BubblemanEverything's organized, except it's not. It's the opposite of what I said.

SpeakerExcept it gave me an Amsterdam alarm wake-up, and it told me that I was going to go meet you today. I just landed in Amsterdam. That was my alarm.

BubblemanOh, you just landed in Amsterdam today.

SpeakerWell, because this was last week, right? I'm laughing.

BubblemanSo that's you having your phone turned off? Yeah, yeah.

SpeakerExcellent, excellent. You like that?

BubblemanYou know what? I think by the time we get to Hash Church 30 or 40, John, you will have it all organized.

SpeakerOh, you know what?

BubblemanI'm organized. Welcome, Dane. What's up, guys? Good morning. You rocking your Green Planet nutrients? Just for Johnny B.

DaneIt's already been on CRTV twice, so it will be.

BubblemanNice. Well, I should mention Era 420. Now, these guys are from Brazil. And they sent me a whack of shirts. Hey, welcome, Dredd. What's up, Dredd? And I didn't get one. No, they sent me three different shirts, and I should thank Gustav from Brazil. Go check out 420 Era. It was kind of trippy because when I got this hat and shirt, I was actually seeing it as Ezra.

BubblemanAnd I don't know if any of you guys know this, but the glass community lost an incredible glassblower recently by the name of Ezra. And he was one of the pioneers back in the day that inspired Marcel Braun and Pedro Smiley and Zach, D-Rats, and this huge slinger, this huge group of artists that had moved, I guess before they moved to Seattle, they moved to Bellingham, and that's when I picked up Jason Lee and Marble Slinger on Fish Tour, and I learned about this character, Ezra, who unfortunately I never was able to meet, but I was told by Some good friends that we were similar in our ways and that Ezra sort of did down there what I was doing up here.

BubblemanSo he was a huge pioneer. He was one of the first people to convince the glassblowers to sign their pieces. He was one of the first to actually sign the marble. And he was really an inspiration to all of these guys. And he passed away recently. So I thought maybe today we would start Hash Church with a puff for Ezra. For a guy that many of you may have not met, including myself, but he did a lot for us, and he's really, he's a part of our community, whether we knew him or not, and I just want to acknowledge Ezra today for all that he did, and I want to puff some of this sweet skunk dry sift in your behalf, brother.

BubblemanI hope that you are in a better place, and I know that the family and the community are going to take care of your boy for you, so don't worry about a thing.

BubblemanAll right. Puffs for Ezra. We've got 125 people in chat right now. We will talk about extracting terpenes once Tony gets in here. That's Tony's scenario. However, if you want to talk about growing terpenes, Dred's in the room, and I know he grows quite a few of those terpenes for Tony. Tony Terpine. Tony Terpine couldn't be Tony Terpine without the dreads of this world. Bless up the grower.

BubblemanBig up Ezra. Let's do this up. I got too much going on here. You got too much going on, Johnny B?

SpeakerYeah, look at this nightmare.

BubblemanYeah, I hear you, dude. I'm not much better. My desk is a mess. And I got a cat playing with all my cords right now. I'm just waiting for my email to actually get up to temp. It was turned off, but we're getting there now. Up in the 500s. Oh yeah.

SpeakerSo this is the new thing that me and Horatio were doing. We're just burning off a little bit of the turfs and stuff, and then we were actually leaving the lipids and the waxes left on the screen, and then burning it off.

BubblemanSounds like taking a king's hit. It's not new at all. It's called the Dave Watson method. I think he did it for years. He literally would take a hit, pull the screen out, and throw it on the ground, and you could follow him around at the cup with the matches and the brand new screens on the ground, and literally every screen had his lipid hit on it.

BubblemanI call it the king's hit or the queen's hit if it's a woman hitting it, but it's definitely not new. Welcome, Jordan. New for me. New for me. No, come on, Johnny. We've hit king hits before.

SpeakerI know, but I mean really just touching it and getting that wicked turp hit and then burning off all those waxes and stuff and just having some fun, actually. It's not new. It's the lipids we're not smoking and the difference that what it does when we smoke it.

BubblemanYes, it is the king's hit. The king's hit. If you could just... Oh, look what Jordan's showing. Show that again, Jordan. The first hash we've really seen today. Jordan is a bubble ambassador. Been making bubble for many years. He was a part of Full Melt Bubble, and he was a good friend with Hillbilly on PCP, our good friend Full Melt Bubble, who also passed away. And I say we hit a bull for hilly right now.

BubblemanBecause there's another fucking amazing brother that we lost in the most recent past. I pulled the 90 just for him. Dude, that looks just fucking ridiculous. It's gooey.

SpeakerDude. Can I get some of that my way, please? I want some of that. My address is PO Box 515.

BubblemanWhat is the strain on that, Jordan? This is a mix of the lime kush from the babas. The babas. You know, I was feeling either the babas or Tom Hill when you showed that. Those are the two people, or the three people, I guess I should say, that sort of... Lime kush, Kim. Man, I had that lime kush, and I gave it... To a friend and he killed it.

BubblemanIt came up from California. It was the first time any of my friends had sent a cut from California and it was that beautiful lime cush and my goodness, it never made it up here. I think we need to get that one back up here. Max, representing. Oh yeah. Jordan's always representing Max. He's always got some sick Poland in the...

SpeakerI'm asking you what your preferred temp is on the D now.

BubblemanMy preferred temp? I hit it a little hotter than most. Terp Mixer or Terp Chaser? Geez, Wanda, I think it's something you'll hear a lot of different people say a lot of different things about. I should just quickly welcome Metallic Box. I must have sent you the link. Did I not, Metallic Box?

SpeakerDane did. I don't want to...

BubblemanI don't think you're causing any lag at all, bro. I know who you got the link from. You're most welcome to be a part of the show. Welcome. Now, back to Wanda. She had a question. What temp do you use your denail at? I'm using my denail at 740 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a little bit hotter than what a lot of people use, and I'll give my explanation for that really quickly.

BubblemanBefore I got my electric nail, I got a sublimator. Now, I wasn't really fond of the plastic tubing, the plastic bong, the janky metal, the danger, the... I could go on for a long time about what I didn't like about it, but I always have to give the sublimator this. What I did like about it was the thing gave me like the best fucking rip. It was really just like a full terp hit with the full THC.

BubblemanAnd so when you just heard John talking about how him and Horatio were Just hitting it lightly and getting the terp hit and then leaving the fats and the lipids. They're not just leaving the fats and the lipids. They're leaving an enormous amount of THC behind. How you can tell that is by just taking those and ripping them fresh on a fresh head the next morning. THC is not volatizing or sublimating or evaporating at the same temperature as the terpenes.

BubblemanIt needs a little bit more juice to go poof.

BubblemanWhat the sublimator did was it gave me the terpene hit along with the THC rush that I was getting, not that sort of light popcorn-y, not popcorn-y, but that real light, airy terpene hit that sure, it gives you a little bit of a buzz, but it's certainly not giving you that down on your knees, two tears down, coughing out your fucking skull rip that I do appreciate as well.

BubblemanSo that's how I went into e-nails. I went into electric nails with sublimator and Rips on my mind. So, first time I hit an electric nail, someone was like, you've got to hit it at 500, blah, blah, blah, blah, okay, 5, 550. I got the terp hit, no doubt about it. What I didn't get was the THC hit. I didn't get that rest of the hit that the sublimator was delivering every time.

BubblemanSo what I did was I dialed my denail up until I found I was getting the closest thing to the sublimator rip, which is full taste, And Full Power. Because, I mean, honestly, Full Taste without Full Power, until I have five gallon jars full of this shit, and all my friends do as well, there is no fucking way that I'm going to be Skunk Man Samming all my rips.

BubblemanI just don't have a fucking giant greenhouse full of weed that I can, you know, grind up and turn into hash. So, those are my reasons why I hit a denail a little warmer than most. Now, perhaps someone who hits a denail on a lower temperature Would like to have a say.

SpeakerI know exactly what you're talking about. It's, I mean, it's this line and you're, I can't smoke the lipids. So I don't, I have a limited amount of options. Just even from normal concentrates, I couldn't smoke the lipids anyway. It's why I have to remove them. It's different with everybody's nail, especially quartz. So your 710 or 730 could be my 690, 680.

SpeakerBut I tend to get the terps right. They're browning. They're getting darker brown. And then you just got to pull out before they blacken. Because at that blacken point, That's a different high. It's wonderful, but I can't sustain it. I'm unfortunately got skunk man lungs.

BubblemanYou have the advantage of the sensitivities to those lipids that you can probably get a lot closer to them without hitting them than maybe some. I know when I was doing terp hits, I would hold the match because this was way back in the Thank you for watching.

BubblemanCall me crazy.

SpeakerI don't disagree. It's just I only can be in the mood and get up to that when I'm around you. So that's my enjoyment of Two Tears Down.

BubblemanWell, then I have a suggestion. You should be around me more often. Like me.

SpeakerTwo Tears Down.

BubblemanTwo Tears Down, Johnny B. I want to see Jordan's hash again. Just one more time. Oh my God. It definitely looks like it's going to be a bitch to dry. Am I right?

SpeakerIt's been drying for about five days, four days now. Nice little piece of epicness right there. I like to see his hash actually.

BubblemanThose are big chunks. Those are really like lovely, beautiful chunks of hash.

SpeakerWould you say they're soft or hard? It's hard, but it's still, it's like a gooey, when it came out of the bags, it was gooey. That's why I couldn't really break it up. I probably could have put it in there.

BubblemanDude, it looks so fucking, like, fire, it's ridiculous. Oh yeah, it's the 90s. Why don't you come to Legends of Hash? What's your problem?

SpeakerUh, a lot of stuff.

BubblemanYeah, I feel you.

DaneI'm kind of crippled right now.

BubblemanYou're invited, dude.

DaneMaybe next year. I'll try.

BubblemanI know we need to have a Legends in America one day. I just hope that America stops like persecuting cannabis users because then maybe I could come back down there. I have so many great friends in the U.S. and I love the land. I love America in the sense of like its location and all the amazing nature that it has to offer. Some of the fucking greatest people I've met on the whole planet are from America and I don't ever get to go there and it really fucking sucks.

BubblemanHey, you just need a mask. Come in with some, like, facial surgery or something.

SpeakerYeah. Let's try and get Remo in here. Let's see what he has to say. What's that? Oh, I just read in the chat, and people said we've got to try and get Remo in here, Urban Grower.

BubblemanOh, yeah, Remo doesn't use a computer very often, so if you get Remo in here, it will more likely be his wife, Sandra. There you go. Which is cool. I love hanging out with both of them. She's in the know, so she's really a unique situation when I see her answering the social media and doing a lot of the social media. What I'm impressed with Is that she's not just like disconnected, she actually knows the answers.

BubblemanShe knows what to say and what not.

SpeakerShe's back to coalition, she's been so involved with supporting everybody in the industry.

BubblemanThe coalition, let's talk about the coalition's Facebook site. I saw Dana Larson, here's some, I'm going right into the, what do you call it, not drama, but the... This is what people will want to hear, right? We could talk about amazing shit all day long and we'll get 100 listeners, but the minute we call someone out, we'll get like 10,000 listeners. So here I am calling someone out.

BubblemanI don't know if I'm calling anyone out, but I saw Dana Larson left the Coalition website recently because he was noticing that anytime someone questioned anyone about any of the money that was coming in, they would immediately get banned and blocked from the page. So... I support the coalition. I support Jason Wilcox and Anne and all the people that are involved, Johnny B. I do see that there's some serious help that needs to be happening on their Facebook page.

BubblemanI also left the Facebook page because I found that it was just that. It was like more often than anything, someone would say, hey, what's happening with all the money we've raised? And then that person would get banned and blocked from the page.

BubblemanOkay. So. So, I mean, maybe we should just let Jason know as our buddy, because we know Jason's a good guy and we trust Jason, that that's something that if it was happening about with my website, I would want someone to tell me that. I would be like, hey, dude, like.

SpeakerThere are certain admins that run the Coalition Facebook page. I don't think Jason. Much involved with that.

BubblemanWell, that's all I'm saying. He might need to give them a little pep talk. Sometimes it's just a matter, like I've given administrative rights to people on my websites and on even the Facebook pages. You very well may be an admin yourself, Johnny B. I don't know. I am on your website. The odd time when you do it, someone just like, it's like they have a cape on all of a sudden and they're just like, Deleting, blocking people, like, is this new to anyone else here, or have you guys seen this happen before?

SpeakerActually, we've had people ban from our website on the coalition from Facebook for doing that, so that was in the beginning. There has been some problems, but...

BubblemanI just like how Dana put it, that a coalition is a group of people, and that you have to understand there'll be misunderstandings and there'll be people that are disagreeing, but that's what a coalition is. It's a group of people, and that when someone disagrees or acts in a way that you might not like, it's not really in your right just to block them and ban them if it's a coalition.

SpeakerOh, you have to let that person voice their opinions, and one thing I do realize about the Facebook page that it is kind of... A lot of stuff on there. A lot of people post on there. A lot of stuff that shouldn't be posting. So stuff does get needed. When it comes to the question of what's going on with the funds, the funds and everything is on the Coalition website.

SpeakerHow much we've raised, how much is donated, how much has gone towards the case, what the case is costing. And I think that's been mentioned a lot in the comments in the past. So we've told people, like, if you want to know, just go to the Coalition website and Here's the pamphlet. I mean, we all know about it. You know what?

BubblemanPut it as a sticky post on the Coalition Facebook page. If you have it, I mean, people will still ignore it as they do all the sticky posts that I have up in the Team Dry Stift, Water Extraction Drying Techniques, and Water Hash Makers. They mostly ignore it, but the odd person will maybe see it. Hey, we have 200 viewers, and I suspect we should take this back to hash.

BubblemanThere you go. Coalition is about hash. Without the coalition fighting... What's that?

SpeakerOne last thing about the coalition. Just what I was just saying, people ask about the funds and stuff like that. I do have the coalition medtainers for a $20 donation. I give you a free medtainer and I guarantee I'll be making another $4,000 donation with the funds I raise from medtainers to the court case. So we know that there is money and everybody is donating to the court case and we need to fight for our rights.

SpeakerContinue to grow our medicine so we can get the hash that we love to talk about so much. And I'm going to do a rip right now with some formal hash.

BubblemanAwesome. Well put, Johnny B. Well put. So go out and definitely, if you're going to buy a medtainer anyway, what a great way to just donate to the coalition. Feel good about yourself and get a free medtainer.

SpeakerSo John's helping you out with your donations. All funds go to the coalition. So, I mean, everything that I raise goes directly to the coalition. I don't take a dime from it.

BubblemanAnd everything that he grows goes directly into his pipe. And so how about that for a rarity? Johnny B and myself could be the potentially only two people in Canada with federal licenses who grow and don't sell. So there's something that needs to be spoken about. Why is it that if we have a license to grow cannabis, we feel the urge or the right to sell it as well?

BubblemanI think we should be able to at the same time, because I'm not able to, I would not want to put our licenses at risk by doing so. I think it could be potentially one of the main reasons our licenses here in Canada are at risk because of that gray area of so many people selling their herb, which was great in the sense that it lowered the price of the black market herb down to, oh, I don't know, what was it, $800 a pound or something?

DaneYeah, it was awesome.

BubblemanI mean, trust me, $800 a pound may seem amazing and awesome until you think about it like for tomatoes. Just imagine paying $800 a pound for tomatoes and you would flip your shit. I'm kind of there with resin. I would love to see cannabis just be free to those that want to have it. If they want to trade it on a certain level among themselves, they should be able to do that as well.

BubblemanDispensaries should be able to have licenses to hire or buy herb from also licensed growers. Producers should have license to grow and sell cannabis. I mean, I'm all for all of it. I support it all. I don't think that we should avoid any of it.

SpeakerI can honestly say it would be great if I had a big facility and I was able to grow what I grow and offer what I have to people. That would be awesome. But if I do, I'm going to go to jail.

BubblemanYeah. See, that's the thing with me as well. People constantly ask me for my hash. They're like, oh, you know, they just want some. I know for a fact if I was legally allowed to sell it, it would be popular. It would sell. You know what I mean? It would be a brand name that was fairly recognized. But also, I would go to jail or, and really more importantly, I would lose my right to grow cannabis, which I don't take very lightly.

SpeakerI would say more importantly, you'd be away from your family. Most importantly. That's what happens to a lot of people when they go to jail and they're away from their families for growing medicine. It's ridiculous. On that note, hash it.

BubblemanLong rip for Johnny B. Out of his new bong. Now, was it Greg that gave you that bong, or was it Alex that gave you that bong?

SpeakerIt was Alex who actually gifted me this nice little bada bing bong.

BubblemanDave was under the understanding that Greg had given it to you, and I was trying to convince him that you're like Aleister Crowley.

SpeakerAlex gifted me this beautiful, nice bada bing bong. Very nice. I had to put a tricep bong on it right away, and I was talking to... Dougie from Hitman, and they're going to come up with some dry sift bowls in the new year for the Hitman pipes because everybody's asking, like yourself, we're hitting nothing but dry sift. And I like my bong, you know, as much as I would like to be hitting my bong and the sublimator and my volcano and everything.

SpeakerA bong is a great way to go. Support.

BubblemanGreat feel the state of Florida representing. I like it. We all got to get flags like that. Yeah, that's good. What flag would you fly? I'm not sure what flag I would fly. Probably a tricone flag.

SpeakerI have one. Join a day keeps the doctor away flag. Nice. I am actually at the last march. I was on dawn. Oh, Darren can't get in. Holding my sign. Holding it high.

BubblemanDarren can't get into chat. Yeah, he's been trying. He's sending me messages too. Well, that sucks. I was just missing both him and Tony, and Gibbs for that matter. I'll try to send it again to him. I'm doing king hits over here, guys.

BubblemanWell, I guess we should talk a little bit about feeding our endocannabinoid system because I'm always amazed at how few people know about this and the importance of this, particularly my old school mentors that have taught me most of what I know about cannabis and hash. And I ask them as their health is starting to fail in certain aspects, I ask them if they're consuming cannabinoids on a regular basis, phytocannabinoids in particular, plant-based cannabinoids.

BubblemanBecause, of course, if you're consuming essential amino acids, in a sense, you are producing endocannabinoids. That is a way to produce cannabinoids with those building blocks. But how we can get the plant ones is through not the smoking of, But the oral consumption of, and I'm sure as well as transdermal through the skin, your skin is an organ that can absorb through fats these different molecules and get them into your bloodstream so they can get into your liver and they can do all their sort of magic when they metabolize in the liver and they are Getting your CB1 and CB2 receptors, you've got peripheral organ receptors and you have brain receptors.

BubblemanAnd I suspect in the next five to ten years we'll find out that there's a whole lot more going on than just that. It always goes deeper. As Terence McKenna once said, how come the deeper in you go, the bigger it gets? I don't know, Terence.

SpeakerIt's not on the surface.

BubblemanYeah, it seems to be that way, Johnny. And thank God for countries like Spain and Israel who are really moving forward on the... Yeah, I'm moving to Spain if everything goes like kiboshes here in Canada.

SpeakerAnybody in with me?

BubblemanWell, you know, that brings me to Jamaica. The word on the street in Jamaica is that they are going to be Hopefully allowing for some sort of licensing. I don't know if it's going to be the provisional licensing or if it's going to be the regular licensing, but we're looking at that happening in the early months of 2015. So we'll see maybe January, February, March. If that happens, that would put CRD in a great position along with United Cannabis to start the work that we are so eager to start over there.

BubblemanYeah, that's right. I'm not sure if you're going to Spain, John, but...

SpeakerI'm kind of like, I'm looking for three of me's right now, so I can live in... But you know what, I just need the heat, and that's one thing that I'm getting used to, so actually I'm just kind of warming myself up to be doing hot yoga just outside in Jamaica. Oh, that would be nice, eh?

BubblemanWe don't even have to heat the room?

SpeakerI won't even have to eat in the room. I can just walk outside. Actually, you go out at night because it's hotter at night. That's one thing about Jamaica. So I'll be doing hot yoga at night instead of in the lab.

BubblemanVery good.

SpeakerVery good. Yes.

BubblemanSo, Dred, tell us about these chems. Are you tripping on chems or is it dogs? Chem dogs.

SpeakerWhat did you just crack?

SpeakerIt's both in a 73 culture. It's a nice little ball of hash. Ah, a little ball of hash. A little ball of goodness. I think what I'm going to do with this, guys, is I'm going to break off a piece just now. I'm going to put it in this motion paper. I'm going to press this out, and we're going to do a nice little rip.

BubblemanI couldn't hear Dredd when he went to reply. I don't think his mic was working.

SpeakerOne thing I have been doing is I just heat up the side of my bowl and then I press it out now. It's my new way.

BubblemanIt's the new Johnny B technique for pressing out a rip.

SpeakerYeah, it only takes a second.

BubblemanI'm still old school. I leave my rips in powder.

SpeakerOh, I do that too, but I mean, look at how beautiful that is.

BubblemanI do the same, John. Yeah, you just showed yours pressed out. I think everyone does it, in fact. There we go.

SpeakerThere's the second press, guys. It's heated up the side of the bowl of the bong, right like that. And I just kind of pressed out a nice little piece.

BubblemanOh, yeah.

SpeakerDabbed. Cheers. That's the best thing about hash. We can smoke it when it's fresh, press it out, cure it, age it. But I know now that I'm in the mood to defeat my endocannabinoid system.

SpeakerAnd the number five sift is really amazing. I lost the pheno. It's gone. It kind of was, uh, not happy with me. Pop some more beans, let's try another one. Booyah! Booyah. So, I'm going to see if I can get this, but I'm going to, this cleared domes so beautifully, um, I'm going to try and see if I can get it on camera here for you guys.

SpeakerAhem.

BubblemanClear Dome's coming up.

BubblemanYou got the goods over there, Johnny B.

BubblemanNow John just spent the last five minutes explaining how he was pressing it, and now someone just asked, what tech do you use to press, John? Rewind. Maybe it hasn't gotten there yet. Maybe we're behind more than I thought.

BubblemanOh, as they should be, Wanda.

SpeakerAs they should be.

BubblemanWanda says her family in Jamaica are leery of exploiters and thieves. Welcome, Rastafari.

BubblemanYeah, of course, Jamaica has a bad history with that. I think it's why we are wanting to be a part of it and to try and steer things in a more positive direction. By A, having Jamaican partners. The way John said it at the conference, I'm not sure if you saw this, John, but when John Sayers, our partner in CRD, stood up and he spoke about agriculture and the worries about limiting agriculture in any way, he said that he came from extreme poverty.

BubblemanYou know, the way he grew up, he grew up in the zinc fence parts of town in a very, you know, very, they had very little. He spent much of his life educating himself, going to school. He got his master's degree in agriculture. He spent almost 40 years in agriculture, getting trained both in the U.S. and in Jamaica. And so I think it's important to have partners like that, that have, we call them the roots of You know, not just the suits, because there's lots of suits.

SpeakerYes, there is. And I am a root.

BubblemanGrowing into the suits. Because as hard to grow a big, strong plant.

SpeakerWe have you cutting out there.

SpeakerA little bit of...

SpeakerConnection problems. But 100% that's the best thing about CRD and what we're doing is the people involved are the roots.

DaneDealing with trying to educate for the seeds and bring in the ganja growers and bring in the true people behind this plant.

SpeakerWe've been fighting so hard and educating themselves for passion and not for profit.

BubblemanThat's it, man. I think we have a good foundation in the sense of what we want to do in Jamaica and how we want to get it done. It definitely doesn't involve stacking cash and buying yachts. It's much more of helping the infrastructure of Jamaica, potentially building schools and You know, the first time Tony was there, he was just right away like, we got to build a program that helps fill all these potholes.

BubblemanWe could just have trucks with a couple of guys on each truck driving around filling all these potholes. Like, it was really concerning to him.

SpeakerOh, yeah, there's so much that can be done with Jamaica. It's just going to be amazing.

BubblemanDude, and you know what? They're a world of wealth. That country is a world of wealth that's just been lied to for so many centuries and exploited. So I really hope in all my heart that Jamaican ganja, whether even we get licensing or not, that whoever does get licensing has enough consciousness to do it the right way to involve everyone because it's a country that's taken a lot of slack for its ganja use over the last near hundred years.

SpeakerWell, what I've always been fighting for is standardized medicine for myself and other people that are suffering that need it as a, for their pain control or whatever, and Jamaica will hopefully be one of those leaders in being able to do that for the world. That's what would be nice to say.

BubblemanHey, did my cousin ever get in touch with you, John? Yes, he did. I sent him an email and everything, and then he never got back to me. Oh, he said he got back to you but never heard back from you. I gave him your phone number. Oh, wow.

SpeakerI did contact him and stuff like that. We did have that initial contact. I told him to get back to me on a Monday and maybe that was a misunderstanding. So I'll email him again. I just haven't had time.

BubblemanHe's in like crucial pain like the way you were when you were gobbling oxys.

SpeakerOh, dude, I ran into a guy yesterday. Get this. This is just so cool. A guy bought some equipment from one of my P&Ws, and he bought like a 1,000-watt ball for a 4x4 tent, and he was telling me how he wanted to get growing his stuff, and I was like, okay, dude, I've got to come and help you. That's all wrong. So I went out of my way, and I went down to his place, and I met him to go and take back some stuff and help him get his grow growing.

SpeakerTurns out at the age of 9, they've had him on Prozac, and they've had him on all kinds of pharmaceutical drugs. At the age of 26 now, I've taken Pharma for the last, you know, like 17 years of his life. And all the different pills he was on and stuff like that. It was really a great education with him and his family and stuff like that. And talking to him.

SpeakerAnd he knew it was you. He knew it was me. He'd be following us. And he's educating his father and stuff. And now I was able to sit down and start educating them. And it's like a whole new step. I'm actually going to be involved in helping him get off of his stuff and teaching him and his family and others around him about amino acids and convertibles.

SpeakerYeah. Awesome.

BubblemanYou know what I'd like to do, Johnny B? Is I'd like to have a show about just an interview with you talking just exactly about these things. So instead of always, you know, having to get you to talk to these people direct, I can just link them to the video on my channel.

SpeakerThat's a great idea to put on my channel too. I should, I know I need, it's kind of like in my empowering health video I did with the Vancouver Sun.

BubblemanI send that one out. I send that one out, but I'd like to do an updated one where we go a little more in-depth and we do it really clean where I can show living plants, I can show potential problems like bugs up with the macro and molds and give people the troubleshooting guide as you're giving them the information. Hey, this is what John did. The whole nine yards from the small grow tent To the producing your own resin with the screens, to how you choose to consume it.

SpeakerYou know, when I want to do a 4x4 tent setup and what best products to go into and stuff like that, what I see is more like, you know, some people try to put a thousand-mile bulb in a 4x4 tent to try and grow themselves some resin, creates a problem. They burn their plants, they get bugs, there's too much heat. And next thing they get scourged and then they're not growing their own.

SpeakerAnd the most important thing is you need to grow your own. It gives you quality in life and that's one thing about this young man. He's given him something to do. He's already got his seeds popped. He's already got a little thing. You can see how he's excited about growing his own medicine for his own condition.

BubblemanAnd what do we do for those that just can't grow their own? Because there are going to be a large group of people that are not in a situation.

SpeakerThere's a lot of people can't go to the world when they're in wheelchairs, they're in hospitals, they're unable to do it due to other reasons. I mean, if you're living in conditions, stuff like that, and that's why we need more places to operate around the world to access this. I mean, the world's changing right now as we know it, right? So, I mean, NBC in Vancouver, we've got 65 clubs, you know, and in other parts of the world we've got all these clubs and all these places, but a lot of the people that I talk to They have illegal governments.

SpeakerThey can't get it anywhere. And you know what? I think it's just education. And what we're doing here is getting everybody behind this and getting the education to the governments and to the world. And I think the more we talk, the more we're going to be able to access it.

BubblemanYeah. I guess the real important thing is that it become cheap enough or... Covered by these insurance companies that currently cover the billions of dollars annually from pharmaceuticals. Somehow people have to have help. They can't like, you know, be buying five grams of cannabis every day at some like insane like $10 or $12 a gram price. That becomes very expensive for most people.

SpeakerWell now that it's zero rated in Canada and they're taxing it, that's just the next step, right? So we know it's coming.

BubblemanWhere's the Puff Wednesdays? Geez, we haven't puffed a Puff Wednesday in a while. In your opinion, who had the most potent hash at Legends? I'm going to go out on a limb and say the winner.

BubblemanNumber 17, Ramon Ramon, the Dry Sift. It was seven different female phenotypes that were all smacked with the same male.

SpeakerAnd I can't remember what it was. It was ridiculous what it was.

BubblemanIt had like 19 names.

SpeakerYeah, it was crazy.

SpeakerYou there?

SpeakerThere was the most amazing pile of hash sitting beside me at Legends. There was 21 strokes, about 20 strains, 19. A few made it into a pocket so we could take home. But there was this epic pile of hash that we all stared at and everybody from nowhere, dang this, all wanted to take pictures and we just stared at it and we puffed it hard. So I would say it was the best legends that everybody ever said.

SpeakerThe hash was amazing. I was honored to be there and we all got to puff it. I mean, how many bad hashes were there? About five or six that were just terrible or two or three and the rest were all pretty decent from what I saw and I was able to puff on the Hubbly Bubbly a couple times, but looking at the hash that was there, I would say hands down, everybody brought their game this year, wouldn't you say, Mark?

BubblemanDude, I'll tell you, when I hit that Hubbly Bubbly the first time, True was putting in actually a big chunk of your hash out of that little container that it was in, with all this other hash on top of it, or underneath it, and it was just bubbling so crazy that I was taking these hits... And it felt like I wasn't blowing anything out, but what I was really getting was the ultimate king.

BubblemanI mean, they should call that the god hit, because it was literally like, you know, like that terpene hit that you look for times like a hundred, because it was literally like five grams of melty resin just all bubbling in this giant hundred-year-old bowl going into this huge fucking blade pipe.

SpeakerThat would be the sift that Horatio cleaned.

BubblemanNo, no, that wasn't the sift. That was the bubble hash. I had my eye on it. I watched it come out of the container.

BubblemanIt was, what was it, Medi Kush or something? Number two. Number two. Romulan Crossed? Yes. Rom OG.

BubblemanYes, yes, yes.

BubblemanGood old Romulan. I go wrong with the Romy Romulan. It was very nice.

BubblemanWell, I should maybe make some hash. I don't know. I was crushing Astro Boy the other day, John. It was quite fun. Crushed it up over my screen and collected some very, very nice damn near pure heads. I'd say it's about 97%.

BubblemanWhich is pretty darn clean.

BubblemanA little break and a half. Maybe I'll go to the questions that people are asking in the room.

SpeakerYou and me have been talking away and everybody's just been listening to us.

BubblemanAny Cali strains make it to Legends? I don't know. Probably, for sure. There was Watermelon OG. I don't know if it's a Cali strain, to be honest.

SpeakerYeah, you know the strains. I have no idea what strains were there. I know a few of them from the people that I've met and stuff like that, but

BubblemanI was the only person of the all five judges who knew every hash, knew how it was made, and I tried to explain to Skunk Man Sam the reason that was was because I make people give me pieces of hash to get a ticket, and they all give theirs away to, like, their friends. So that's why they were all like, wow, I've never seen any of this hash, and I was all like, I've seen it all.

SpeakerSee, that was the best part, is that everybody that was there were hashmakers. They all brought their game.

BubblemanWell, 20 people that were there were hashmakers. They all brought their game, because those were the 20 tickets that I personally sold. The other 30 tickets get given to people in the industry, and they, like, give them to their friends and their friends, and they're, like, kind of like, oh, yeah, I can get you a ticket to Legends. In the meantime, I'm over here going, no, you can't have a ticket to Legends.

BubblemanYou have to earn it. The only way to get a ticket is to earn it, and then they're over here going, oh, no, man, I can get you a ticket, no problem.

SpeakerI know.

BubblemanWe chatted about Legends.

SpeakerYou know what?

BubblemanListen, I think it was a great Legends, and everyone that was there definitely deserved to be there. It's just that had I given my 20 tickets away to my buddies, it might have been a different Legends.

SpeakerLemon Sour Diesel. Someone's taking some LSD to Lemon Sour Diesel. I would really like to try that.

BubblemanYeah. How did OCD crew get on, B-Man? How did they get on? They got on great. They were killing shit. Him and True were just winning shit everywhere at Dabadoo, at Legends, at fucking Cannabis Cup. I saw them on the stage always. Plus, they're great guys. They're super good dudes. Very humble and just kind, kind fellows. I don't see it changing. I don't believe that those guys will get big heads.

BubblemanThey're Their humility is a positive.

SpeakerWell, I know some people are asking what was going on with the LED light, even in my Facebook care and some people in the chat in the beginning. On day 15 of the LED light, you're definitely seeing a difference in the two different, between the LED and the HPS. I'm really liking the look of the LED, how healthy it is. Mike makes some mentions about the plant thickness of the leaf and stuff like that.

SpeakerI did some macro on the resin and how the gland heads were growing between the LED and the HPS to do some comparisons. So that will be coming out hopefully by the end of the day. And yeah, so there you guys go. There'll be a little LED update. And really I'm focusing right now on is the resin and the gland heads by doing the macro video. Thanks to...

SpeakerWell, thanks to your inspiration, now I'm doing all this macro filming of my resin, which you have to get your cameras in here and take a look. I think that's the next step, Mark. You have to come out and get some really close macros of what's going on between the LED and the HPS because it's looking amazing right now. Just as in the growth, I'm not looking at size, I'm looking at the growth of the gland heads and the difference in the comparison.

SpeakerI think you're the one who can get in deep enough to take a look at that.

BubblemanThe growth in the gland heads. Yes, you would need to get in very close to look at such a thing. I still to this day cannot say out of all the plants I've ever photographed macro that I could see like a major difference. You know, like when someone says, oh, I used Turpinator or I used Resonator or I did, I just generally see the resin glands. Maybe I would require a specific grid Over my lens that allows me to see the actual micron size or the micron length of a trichome, but generally they all look like resin glands.

BubblemanAlthough I can tell you what strain this was from and what strain that was from and that was from, there's many that I cannot. Once I see them, it's not like I can tell you every time, oh, that one's a sativa or that one's an indica. Resin glands grow in a variety of

BubblemanAll these different varieties of heads all look different at all different times. And they don't seem to also finish at any one point in time. I don't notice that they're just like, oh, now they're ready. It's like what I notice is if you kill a leaf or a bud or you break access to that bud, So if you want all your heads to turn amber in a hurry,

BubblemanFuck that plant up right at the end of its life, and that'll really turn those heads amber. Otherwise, I'm not too sure to think that that means that it's ready. I mean, it could be, if that's how you like your resin, that particular high of a late harvest, which I'm sure many do. I'm just saying that you could change the same strain two or three times and change the effects of said resin.

SpeakerOh, 100%.

BubblemanI've taken many special... Let's talk about the benefits of Rick Simpson oil. I've got this one, Johnny B., and you can back me up on this. The benefits of Rick Simpson oil are this, phytocannabinoids. That's the benefit. Just imagine that it's whatever you want to call this amazing cure or help to put in remission or help to alleviate symptoms of tremors or seizures, etc., It's phytocannabinoids from cannabis that is doing the magic, not the extraction process.

BubblemanIt's not because you made it with bubble bags or dry sift screens or a chemical solvent. It's because they're phytocannabinoids and they help regulate our biological function through interaction of our endocannabinoid system. That's the benefit. So really the more research you need to do is less on Rick Simpson oil and more on phytocannabinoids. And endocannabinoid system. Those are the things you should be searching about and finding out about.

BubblemanRick Simpson Oil is merely one way to extract oil, which is not really a way that I would support, i.e. the naphtha method. Naphtha is notoriously dirty from the shelves. If you look on the can, it's camping fuel, basically. It'll say lead and rust inhibitor. Those are basically the mercaptans you Thank you for joining us.

BubblemanThe solvent to steam off and then recapture and leaving the lead and rust inhibitor, which I'll tell you are frightening to look at. They're very electric-y, bluish green, and they look like mercury. You don't even want to touch that shit. It's cumulative in the body. It's considered beyond toxic waste, and it should not be going into anyone's body who is compromised immune system. So you can extract those phytocannabinoids a variety of ways.

BubblemanI suggest coconut oil. It's extremely safe. It's a vegan product, and it's pretty easy to acquire. There's lots of other ways to do it. You can Google it, go on Facebook and whatnot.

SpeakerWe were talking about that last night with Darren, actually. He gave me a little Facebook time when he was doing some extractions with some coconut oil, and he wanted to know what temperatures to bring it up so he can activate it properly and stuff, and And I always like to tell people that I like to like heat my cannabis. I put it in like a small mason jar of one liter, put it in the oven, 324 degrees Fahrenheit, heat it for half an hour, and then do my extraction.

SpeakerThat way I know I get consistent. My decarboxylate is always at the same process. And he was just talking about how he's boiling it and stuff like that and wanted to know a little bit more. And just that's what I do. He's in the crock pot, isn't he? Yes, he is. Yeah, yeah.

BubblemanYeah, the crock pot's good if you use a lot of water, like a lot, like eight glasses per cup of coconut oil. You can bring that temperature of the boiling down and preserve your terpenes and get really to this wonderful like around 200 Celsius, 190 or something. You can get a good decarb going. My coconut oil has gotten better in my last batch. I'll probably do a video again here soon.

BubblemanThe last video has helped a lot of people. Just a simple process, easy peasy to do at home. Crockpot costs $5 on Craigslist or $20 brand new. And someone asked me recently how I extract the hash that's left over. If you use a good enough hash, you don't need to filter out anything. It just dissipates and melts into the hash. If you use a hash that has a little bit of a thicker wax membrane, You'll want to filter that out and what I used was a 25 micron bag.

BubblemanI filtered, I ran my coconut oil while it was still fairly hot, it was in liquid form, and squeezed the bag out and captured that little bit of leftover low quality wax membrane and all the good stuff went into the coconut oil. And I put about between four and eight grams into each cup, depending on how much you want. And I'm about to figure out the math on that this next time I do it, because I have now people who are requiring capsules for fairly, you know, stage four metastatic breast cancer and stage four pancreatic cancer and some tumors and some extreme back surgeries and pain.

BubblemanSo I'm starting to make it for friends and family that I'm able to, I want to be able to tell them exactly how many milligrams are in each one. I don't want them to be guessing.

BubblemanWelcome back, Dane.

SpeakerYes, I wish we had access to a lab here and everybody should and then we can actually get our proper dosage and know exactly what we're taking instead of this guessing game that we're always doing. It's too bad. Other parts of the country, they're actually doing the proper research, which is pretty cool. Let's hope that Canada steps up their game and we start seeing how we can actually go on and have our stuff tested and know exactly what we are consuming.

SpeakerI got a pretty good idea just because of what I did test in the early years, but I still have no idea what my profiles are. I just know that I'm taking activated cannabinoids. I'm feeding my endocannabinoid system, and that's the most important part.

DaneWhat do you guys think about the raw cannabis juice, and do you guys juice at home from your home?

SpeakerI'm not a big juicer, Dane, but I know you are, and you should talk more about that for a lot of people here. They'd like to know more, that's for sure. And 238 people watching Hatch Church, guys. That's awesome.

BubblemanJuicing is killer, Dane, definitely. I think a lot of the benefits from the juicing are in the bulbous trichome heads that are on the fan leaves. Most people don't know they're present because they don't go there with a macro lens, but they all have them and they even show up as sprouts. When the seedling first releases its epicotyl, which are the first two leaves after the cotyledon, those leaves will have these bulbous trichome heads on them.

BubblemanThat's interesting. Yeah, you guys have a great video up on the juice and you should put it in the link there.

DaneYeah, I guess I'd run ahead and go do that now. River Rock, we juice the fan leaves, so obviously they have those trichome heads intact, and it gives our patients like a full, raw spectrum of cannabinoids that they can add to their program to combine with oils as well as smoking for like a breakthrough regimen. And it's really cool. And it's neat that we could provide that, especially for patients who don't have a grower, don't have access to fan leaves, or don't even have the ability or the energy to even look at a juicer.

DaneJust to have that pre-made for them so they can start incorporating that into their diet. And what's your YouTube channel so they can go peep that? River Rock TV. That's where we have the juice video on.

SpeakerHey, Dane, you incorporate the fan leaves? Is that for the CBDA? It's primarily, I think, right?

BubblemanI don't know. We haven't tested it. Bulbous heads are definitely higher CBD content.

SpeakerI think if you take a look at the piranha line, I think they talk more about that. I think it's more with the juicing. There isn't THC. I'm just trying to look it up right now, so I'm saying it properly. Give me a second.

DaneWith the juice, you're counting on your liver to break down the acid and the THC. It's kind of like... Metabolize. Uncarboxylated hash oil, maybe.

BubblemanYeah, the acidic version.

SpeakerI've just read that CBD before, you know, it's deep carboxylated when it's still in its acid form is really helpful for the small intestine. I was reading that at the doctors the last time I renewed my card, which is pretty cool. And I could be wrong, but I think, wasn't it Tony who said, was it Last House Church or not, they were extracting CBD from the fan leaves?

BubblemanYeah, he was talking about that. Those are those bulbous heads again. There's the three trichome types you have, capitate, sessile, capitate stocked, and then bulbous, which are non-capitated at all. They're just a ball that sits on the leaf. They're the ones that raise the percentage of yield for the oil guys because their solvents extract those heads and they often don't come off in the water extraction process and Even more rarely do they come off in the dry sifting process.

BubblemanThey're really stuck on those leaves pretty good. Okay.

SpeakerThat's interesting. So I just came across a book called Cannabinoid Receptors and I kind of got, I have to buy it. It's $100, but I'm going to have to look at this book.

BubblemanAll right. John, do you want to look at the book?

SpeakerYeah, no, it's really detailed. It's actually pretty good. It's getting into the molecule structure and just activation points and everything. It's seeing when receptors and it's talking about GPCR. Anyways, I'll stop talking and come back to you guys. I get excited when I see stuff like this. It's research that I haven't seen before. It's apparently turned into a nerd. That's what I've been called lately. It's a good thing.

DaneWhat are you talking about?

SpeakerOh, there's a book. It's The Cannabinoid Receptors by Patricia H. Regio.

SpeakerR-E-G-G-I-O. It's just something I haven't seen before, and I was just reading bits and parts of it, and I googled something on acquisition points of cannabinoids instead of different THC and stuff like that, and that's what we were talking about. And then, of course, I got sidetracked over here because...

SpeakerI smell cash.

DaneOh, wow.

SpeakerI don't even have anything in there.

SpeakerYeah, so I was trying to find that stuff you were talking about, Dane, and that's where I was about sidetracked here, so I'm just going to kind of go back. But anyway, sorry, guys.

SpeakerThere's your YouTube.

BubblemanAll right. Back to the hash. We'll bring it back to the hash. Sweet skunk dry sift myself today. I've got my best friend framed sitting next to me. This little resin gland dark atomic grew it.

BubblemanA.K.A. DJ Short. And it was actually these tiny little stuck on the stock of the trichome as well as a few other spots. That's male pollen. This was a female that got smashed. Oh, I don't even know what the string was. It was blue. I'm familiar maybe.

BubblemanI invited him in, but he's busy. Busy, busy. Soon, soon, I get to go to breakfast, a Santa Claus breakfast.

SpeakerYou're going to a Santa Claus breakfast?

DaneWell, I betcha.

SpeakerI know I'm going to work on some stuff today. I'm going to do some dry sifting, of course. It is Sifty Sunday. Got to make some sift today. Yesterday was Separation Saturday and I didn't get to separate any cannabis. Actually, I was busy helping the young gentleman educate. I'm actually going to go do a video with him and shoot setting up his grow tent and talk more about...

SpeakerWhy he's going to be growing his own medicine. I think it'll be kind of cool.

BubblemanRight on, right on.

SpeakerWhat do people do on Sundays? What do they do? Do they make hash? Do they just smoke hash? What do you do on safety Sundays, guys?

DaneI clean my house and I smoke hash. That's all I do. I edit photos on Sundays. That's like my ritual. I have to finish that, actually.

SpeakerNo hash work, though. Yeah. If I can, I'd just like to go hike here in Colorado and bring some hash with me. That's ideal on Sundays.

BubblemanThat is a good situation. Sundays for me will be Whistler Ski School with my son and Yeah, he's going to be starting that in a couple weeks here, I suspect. And then I'll be doing my Sunday hash churches from Whistler. And then I'll be like, I got to go. It's a sick powder day. This is insane. I don't know what I'm doing here. And hopefully we do some videos in the mountains this year with my crew up there.

BubblemanWe're going to be making some dry sift and some wet wash this year in an ancient ice cave with my snowmobile crew. So keep an eye out for that. That shit is going to be off the chain. I've been really, really, really wanting to do that for two years now.

SpeakerAnd each year... Ever since I started talking when you were little, that's all I'm talking about. Ice cave.

BubblemanIce cave. Definitely happening. That's my highlight of the winter this year is to make dry sift in an ancient ice cave.

SpeakerAre there any specific amino acids that you should take that are the building blocks of the... Endoconav, like your endogenous cannabinoids?

BubblemanWell, there's eight that humans require but can't, you know, produce on our own. And then there's three extra ones for children. So they require 11 and we require 8. And you could Google it because they're long fucking insane names. Yeah. The eight are fairly, you know, the big ones are definitely GLNA and GLA. And the ratio in which you consume those, which is supposed to be three to one, which just happens to be how hemp gives it to you, it's the opposite in flax and it's the opposite in some other seed oils that claim to have those essential amino acids.

BubblemanThey don't have them in the three to one ratio. I think it's 3 to 1 GLNA to GLA.

SpeakerThat's really interesting. My little sister was telling me on the phone the other day, she was claiming that I should take flax instead of hemp. I mean, it's beyond me. I'm not really sure what the basis was.

BubblemanIf you do a bit of research and Google that, I'm pretty sure that if you take flax for a long enough time, because of the 1 to 3 instead of 3 to 1 ratio, you end up being deficient in iron. That would take a long time to do that, but that's one of the things that could happen in that ratio. We assimilate things in a certain way, and it's going to be easier.

BubblemanIt's like, for example, how easy it is for humans to assimilate goat milk, because goat milk, goat globulin is the same size as our human globulin, whereas cow globulin is about like 25 to 30 times the size of ours, and that's so that baby calves can Thank you for joining us.

SpeakerAnd my girlfriend who last, she had them too. His name was Dr. Eric Olson. He was really interesting. And he was trying to amp up, it's like two tetraglycerol and anabdomine. And I forget which one replicates CBD active and which one in the active form. So decarboxylated. And which one replicates THC. You know, one, obviously CBD being the antagonist and THC being the agonist for the CB1 receptor.

SpeakerBut he was trying to mess with the protein receptors in order to, or the proteins in order to produce these, which is really interesting. I don't know.

BubblemanYeah, I think we'll see a lot of interesting things in the upcoming years as people first learn to have an understanding of what is even happening, and then as they realize that their understanding of what is really happening isn't exactly what is happening, and they'll take it even into the next deeper level of where... Everyone sort of is excited for this to go.

SpeakerWatching the surface. Ooh, a Congolese joint. I was looking for this all yesterday, and I just found it.

BubblemanAll right.

SpeakerYeah, it's funny. I feel like as far as scientific knowledge, THC as far as most people know, and it's really eye-opening when you find out you have a whole endocannabinoid system, and Cannabinoids that replicate phytocannabinoids outside your body on really low levels in everybody. It's really bizarre. It sounds like it's not true, but it is.

BubblemanYeah, it's pretty exciting times, man, I'll tell you.

BubblemanAbsolutely. Pretty exciting times. We've got random dudes from Brazil sending me hats and t-shirts.

SpeakerThat's awesome.

BubblemanThank you, Gustavo, once again. Very kind of you to... People are always surprised when they send me a hat and I wear it, and I'm like, you sent it to me, what was I supposed to do with it? Wear it. I love a good hat.

SpeakerYou can't post websites on Google, eh? That sucks.

SpeakerAnyways, guys, you know what? I have a whole bunch of hash in my freezer that needs to be micro-blended so I can smoke some more. I'm puffing on this 45 micron of the number 2. It's definitely nice and epic. Awesome. I somehow lost my scooper by just sitting here.

BubblemanYeah, that happens, doesn't it?

SpeakerOh, I just found it. Woohoo! Get so excited. I mean, that's the best thing about losing things in your house when there's nowhere else around. When you find it, it's like...

BubblemanI mostly keep everything here in my little office. That way, if it doesn't leak out into the house, I can always pretty much find it here.

SpeakerI have a bath, actually. Starts in the office, leads to the kitchen, downstairs to where I feed the cats to the bedroom.

SpeakerI just posted a link, I was trying to, just on the endocannabinoid system, the one I was finding, probably just put it on my Facebook page.

SpeakerYeah, that's pretty good.

BubblemanHey, Rick Boy, THC.

BubblemanYeah, Lee Stretch Perry on the mic.

SpeakerWhere's Joe?

SpeakerTell us something new. You're very quiet today. Pick anything you want. What do you want something new on?

SpeakerAnd there's some people commenting on your new sift that you're doing and stuff that you're... how melty it was. And of course what ended up on Astrodown when I got sent to me was epic too. Well, I mean, that's a lot of research, a lot of study, a lot of Bubbleman videos, a lot of going back to... The threads, the old classic threads, the ICMAG threads, clicking on links to back when everyone was really in the height of the speculation era when people were thinking about everything, industrialization, automation, what's this, what's that, and just considering out the possibilities again and seeing if there were any unpursued roads.

SpeakerBut, you know, it leads back to a tradition and a card. You can produce for yourself with the bounce, and I'm really supportive of people producing for themselves, but if you even have a neighbor that you want to support and they're even sensitive to something like limonene, they're out of alternatives. I, unfortunately, don't make the bubble hash that you guys make. I'm a real fanatic. For going for it, so I follow the dry sift route.

SpeakerSo people seem to be excited about the results, but they're not new. It's still the strain. So you become a strain hunter in your own respect because of it and experiencing out the different strains and how they sift and how they need to be managed and Environment stuff, you know, that's the kind of stuff that excites me is controlling the variables. So first diving in and then finding out what goes wrong for people where people try to get a gain prematurely and how that spins out of control and then going, you know, okay, well, I know what works.

SpeakerI've been drying my own herbs and vegetables forever and a day for teas and the rest. So I just stick to those I know Mike's on his new dosage with what you've now done with the sifting and put that into his dosing and stuff like that. And he's been quite happy with it.

SpeakerWell, I thought that it might help, you know, even from a chlorophyll standpoint, can I reduce foregoing the bulbous and Pretty much going for exactly the same type of experience and concentrate that you'd get from smoking a 70 or 90 micron. So I concentrated and then went for the extraction to see if we can get the efficacy up so that his microdosing can go down. One thing I was going to be mentioning is what's happening with Mike.

SpeakerWe'll be talking about it and I was going to talk to you about it and stuff like that. Before when I was giving Mike his doses, I was giving him everything, right? So he was getting like a gram of resin of everything. And what he's feeling now is he likes to go back. He wants to get back into some of the stuff I was doing before just because it feels like he was getting his pain is a little bit different.

SpeakerAnd what I'm looking at is what we're talking about is all the phyto cannabinoids. And when we're just doing that separation, I know that might work for a certain ailment, but I don't know if, I think getting him all those cannabinoids right now, even looking at that, like giving him everything from the 160 to the 45, everything, instead of doing that separation and trying the microdose, is working, but I don't think it's, because of the type of bone cancer he has, I really just want to pound the hell out of it.

SpeakerI mean, there's that, but microdosing. Those separations are working, but he is seeing that difference right now. And I know he wanted more talk about it and stuff like that. So he's now requesting to go back to more of the Rick Simpson oil or when I was giving him all the hashes mixed together and stuff like that on that dosage. So that's what he was just talking about lately.

SpeakerHe's noticing that difference and I was talking about it a little bit with him yesterday and stuff like that. He's feeling a little bit better this week. I'll be giving him baked goods and stuff like that from a friend of mine who's a chef and I've taught her how to decarboxylate. So It's just some feedback on that. So we're definitely liking the microdosing, but I think it's more of maybe a little bit more of everything might work a little bit better.

SpeakerI don't know if that's what you're doing or not. Well, it is because I have to supplement the inputs to sustain Mike's needs. And therefore, the majority of what makes up his supplement program is directly from Nuggs, complete Nuggs. The supplementary material that I have to clean in order to use because I wouldn't want to extract shit loads of trim.

SpeakerThose beginning dosages that you gave him was everything? It's those last couple that we've been doing that little separation and he's noticing. Like when I gave you just a certain amount of... Thank you for watching.

SpeakerBut microdosing is supposed to get you a sense that you report back and then a capsule program is made. That's what Tony's doing. Microdosing is to introduce and set a tone. Then you have to come back with an actual prescription. So now he says, okay, I want it, but I want it in a different way or I want it stronger or at different times of the day.

SpeakerThen that's where Tony prepares capsules. And the doctor is supposed to tell him to do it. That's basically what I've been doing with him. So I'm going to supplement him back with the caps again. And then keep with the microdosing and stuff like that. And this kind of really hit it. But it was just something that we're talking about the microdosing, those separations, what we're doing. And I think what we now are saying, what Tony was mentioning is it's kind of an introduction to get into a proper regimen that's going to work, which is what's, well, of course, what the Prana system is all about.

SpeakerSo that's kind of cool.

DaneYeah.

SpeakerSo Mark, are you still thinking of doing any SIF this episode or have you gotten too late into the morning?

BubblemanYeah, I'll probably have to skip it this morning. I've got to go to this breakfast here in the next little bit. I was just sort of hanging out, listening to what everyone was talking about.

SpeakerWhat were you doing?

SpeakerI made a mess of my beeline. That's what happens when you have cats.

SpeakerI guess I'll have another bowl. I am going to enjoy my sifty sundae, guys. It's 10.23.

SpeakerIs it only 10.23?

DaneWow, it's early. That's perfect.

SpeakerI got lots to do.

SpeakerHow's church today?

BubblemanDum-dum-dee.

BubblemanWell, take a hit if you need a hit. That's what I always say. Take a hit if you need a hit. I wonder if I can find the hash commandments again. Those were great.

BubblemanSmoking the hashish.

SpeakerCannabis radio show. I think that's what we do at Hash Church. It's kind of like a radio show. We do this every Sunday.

BubblemanCan we talk more about them? I would consider calling them yourself, St. Thomas. If you have a question for Tilray, just call them up. They'll let you know.

BubblemanHow many bowls do you smoke? I get stoned on every bowl that I smoke, Bob. Every one is an enjoyable experience.

SpeakerWell, if I was smoking a bowl, I would anticipate getting an enjoyable experience.

BubblemanHow did you go about extracting yerba mate? I used bubble bags to extract yerba mate, and it made a bubble hash-type material, to be honest. Wait, what?

SpeakerGo back. What happened when you extracted yerba mate? I made hash. But, like, what, um, like, Micron produced... Thank you for joining us.

SpeakerObviously everything I try, I try to reproduce at home because I've been a yerba mate drinker for years. It's just a carbonated cold version that really works for me because I can't drink coffee anymore. So it's just for some reason I think they extract with CO2 and it makes a different concentrate. So no, that would be really interesting. I guess I will rub my mate through the bubble bags and just brew tea with each micron set and see which one's got that hit.

SpeakerYeah. There you go.

BubblemanHerb Asante as well.

Speaker90 is my favorite bag. 90 is your favorite bag. You know what? I can say that my favorite thing out of all the hashes is Dry Sift, and clean 99.7 heads has got to be the best thing. In the world, if you're dealing with any kind of condition, buy from the cleanest and the best way of doing cannabis. That's just me talking out of the blue.

BubblemanCan't see Horatio, gone in cloud of smoke.

SpeakerYeah, he's always puffing hard.

BubblemanGone in cloud of smoke.

SpeakerI'm going to need to kind of puff some hash. I've been kind of spacing out over here and reading and not paying too much attention to Hash Church and really what's going on here. I think I need to get some hash in me here properly. A little quick press. My newest thing, I like pressing it. It sticks on the screen better.

BubblemanI don't sell my product, Bob. I just use it. Oh, good. That's how that is. Can we just talk about that, really? Cannabinoids are present in mother's milk, though, man. I'm not sure exactly which cannabinoids are present in mother's milk, but I'm sure if you Googled it, there might be some information on that. Just know that there are cannabinoids present in mother's milk.

BubblemanThey're endocannabinoids, so they're not going to be the recognizable ones like CBD or CBN or CBG, those aren't going to be the types of cannabinoids you find in Mother's Milk as those are phytocannabinoids, plant-based cannabinoids. Oh, he wants me to address Rob Clark saying all weed is indica. How about this? How about I bring Rob Clark into Hash Church next week and he can tell you about it.

BubblemanIt's his area of expertise and I would love for him to come into Hash Church next week. I've already answered you, Bang Skateboards. That's the third time you've asked. I do not know which cannabinoids are present in Mother's Milk, but if you Google your question minus my name on it, you may very well find out the reasons.

SpeakerYou don't sell Grunge Off.

BubblemanI used to. I used to sell Grunge Off on Fresh Hatties. I don't know if it's not there anymore. It should be.

BubblemanDo I think they'll be growing more indoors in 2015 in Jamaica? No, I think they'll be growing more outdoors.

BubblemanThat's what I think. Name is Harishu, and I vape VG.

SpeakerOn Brian's CB2 writings, it exists in the immune system throughout the rest of the body. Each of these receptors respond to cannabinoids, whether in human breast milk and in children's felons. So CB1 and CB2 receptors are found in the immune system. It is also found in the mother's breast milk, so... It's basically receptors for binding and stuff is what's found, and that's what I'm reading, and it's just, I just Googled it, natural news.

SpeakerThat's what I read off of natural news, guys, on the breast milk thing.

BubblemanI'm not sure. There it is, in a nutshell.

SpeakerIn a nutshell. I just had to quickly study that. I don't know how far there is. The truth about marijuana. So the receptors that are found in the breast milk go that way when the baby is born. It is actually looking for cannabinoids for it to properly develop. Hence, we should be feeding our kids endocannabinoids, minus the THC maybe, in Cheerios. And I think that's what Dr. David Allen says is going to happen probably in the next 20 years.

SpeakerYou'll be finding cannabinoids in all of the food that you eat. It will be the next We have keeping people healthy and alive and creating a good food source around the world.

SpeakerYes, Sam.

BubblemanYes, I have. I am lawless. I have tried the parchment paper wrap card. It's similar to D420K's iTunes card. It's not... The process I use myself, I card. I card faster and faster as it gets colder and colder.

SpeakerI bounce, and I card, and I sift, and I wash, and I rinse.

BubblemanAbout a jog in Jamaica. I forgot you asked peeps not to ask. I don't know what you're talking about, St. Thomas. About a jog in Jamaica. I only smoke more, talk less. Cody has a fire in the lineup. He's reading all these things. Have you ever tried to hear Michael where he's smoking hash? Smoked on a screen atop a dumb snail, of course. It's her pit.

SpeakerI think you're talking about what's come out in the chat before. There's going to be some kind of delay here. It's kind of cool, actually.

SpeakerThey're all into construct. About a job in Jamaica? It is something that we wear or construct. I'm not hiring anyone.

BubblemanThat's not my job. I tell everyone that wants a job in the prefect and get in touch with United Cannabis. They're looking to hire people. We're looking at hiring. CRD will be hiring local people. Oh, man. It's all about Jamaica. And at that, it's just about getting your, you know, if you're a local Jamaican, it's about dropping off your resume with CRD. And our address is up on, it should be up on the website.

BubblemanIs it? We have a website now. Hit a big hit, bubble man? Well, okay. I'll hit a big hit.

BubblemanI'll hit a hit anyway.

SpeakerThere you go. Thank you very much. Someone was just putting more of what was in the book.

SpeakerWhich, of course, when I was talking about receptors, which is good.

SpeakerThat's one thing that's so great about Google, eh? It's just the information is so freely available to a lot of people. And some people don't have a fast enough internet or they don't have access because they're using a cell phone or something like that. It definitely consumes my day. Like I said, I found a new book today. I can't wait to buy it.

SpeakerGot it saved somewhere in the tab. Anaminoid receptors. You know, I just Googled it, and like I said, that professor, Eric Olson, last semester, he was telling me the CB1 receptor is actually the most number one prevalent receptor in the brain. Yes. And I Googled it. There's more sites related to THC than any other. It's like an army of people in there. It's like when you smoke a joint, there's a thousand people there.

SpeakerYou know what I mean? If you have a cigarette, there's 500. If you have a drink, there's 250. You know what I mean? That's the best way of saying it. There's more binding sites related to cannabinoids in your brain than any other receptors. And the more that you research it and learn about how they work within the And the body, you get more consumed about it, and I think if people really start educating themselves, just start with cannabinoids, and you can really get into it.

SpeakerCannabinoid receptors, you just type cannabinoid receptors, then you can get into more and more, and then start looking at how you can start educating yourself, and then start typing cannabinoid receptors in your condition, multiple sclerosis or cancer. It's the way you Google things, the way you start learning, and that's how I've done all my research, is just sitting in front of a computer and just changing the words a little bit, and a lot of it goes to medical journals, and then you can really start educating yourself more about how it's helping you or some loved ones, or maybe helping educate someone that you know that needs more education on it.

SpeakerGreat thing, guys. Yeah, it says... The type 1 cannabinoid receptor is considered to be the most abundant G-protein coupled receptor in the mammalian brain. So, that's from a journal I just googled. G-P-C-R-D-M. It's fun stuff. It is. It's very good stuff. Excellent. So that's what you've got on Hash Sundays. You can google some... And no cannabinoids and ask some questions and maybe educate everybody and we can educate one another here while we're doing this.

SpeakerIt's fun stuff. I do like it. Let's look at something like this. You know how you mentioned the breast milk and How does, you know, well, if we could have even just mothers drinking a high diet of hemp seed, how much enhanced the breast milk would be. I was just thinking about that, the CVE receptors in that developmental child as the most primary thing to feed and develop.

SpeakerIt was like, well, in a non-prohibition model, I could afford enough vegetative cannabis matter to feed goats to produce proper milk. And that would go directly because they're yielding On a daily basis for their own young. So if we could afford an enhanced feed of vegetables, cannabis and hemp would be extremely excelsior. I always knew hemp seeds for chickens produced the extreme egg, but no one could afford hemp seeds anymore because they just weren't around.

SpeakerBut going back to that milk and those receptors, I would definitely implement a feeding program for goats that we're living off of. Because it is more, I grew up on it. I go, my skin gets eczema from cow's milk, so I know goat smoke like the back of my hand. So, hell yeah, if we can just get past, you know, hyper-expensive costs for going to jail.

BubblemanYeah, lose the prohibition-based dollar. That's not a good dollar. It's an uncomfortable dollar. People are blind to it, though. They're pretty stoked on that dollar. The people that are bummed that weed is below $1,000 a pound, those people are prohibitionists.

SpeakerWhen it was down to $800, I was like...

BubblemanI think of $800 as like $10,000.

SpeakerYou know what? Even with everything... It's all based on prohibition, but at the same time, now it's turned into big, big money, and now the corporate industry is involved, and the prices should slowly start going down once hectares and hectares of ganja are being grown all over the world. Yeah, like tomatoes. It's not a form of a medicine or a food or some kind of a textile.

SpeakerIt's going to be a whole new world of greatness.

SpeakerWell, I mean, that's how it was before Prohibition. Nobody's boats worked without hemp rope. Everybody grew it. In fact, you could get in trouble for not growing it. It was a part of national policy, nation building. You couldn't get nowhere without hemp. So it's producible at the price of tomatoes, which match the nutrient needs. So it's just a matter of getting back to goals that are more holistic, and we'll start growing hemp like we did 100 years ago.

BubblemanHere's a question.

BubblemanThey are asking about smoking hash, women smoking hash while they're pregnant and what we think about it. And so I'm not really a big fan of smoking. Now, if it were to alleviate nausea, then I suspect a vaporizer would be a better way to go about it. But I definitely would support a woman acquiring Cannabinoids via cannabis while she was pregnant.

SpeakerPersonally. Google the endocannabinoid system and you'd learn a lot about it.

BubblemanYeah.

SpeakerNothing wrong with it.

BubblemanWell, I mean, it's an opinion so you don't even need to Google anything. It's just like you either are sort of like you either feel a certain way about it or you don't. I don't feel a certain way about it so it doesn't really bother me. I don't really like the idea of like A bunch of pregnant women sitting around smoking chillums. But whatever.

SpeakerI know in society you look at it and you look at us and I'm sitting around having a drink and drinking wine and beer and getting drunk and stuff like that. But I mean I think just giving some cannabinoids on a daily basis on some way or form that's not actually getting you the euphoric high or doing any damage effect would probably help with development. Maybe not so much more as the THC but I mean, hey, I'm going to Google it.

BubblemanWell, it's, yeah, it is what it is, right? It's, who's to say euphoria is doing any damage in its own right? Why is it looked upon as a damaging thing when you feel euphoria from the effects of cannabis?

SpeakerI talked to Dr. Alan Shackelford recently. Yeah. Last Cannabis Cup. And you're just telling me that there's a lot of shady science behind the so-called studies that impaired prefrontal cortex, you know, the prefrontal cortex is that crucial part of your brain, at least in, I'm not sure about adolescence, like a baby, but at least in children up until about 20 years old to 23 years old, the prefrontal cortex is still developing.

SpeakerAnd there's a lot of, he was telling me, a lot of people cite this study from Harvard, where they're using about 150 kids or so, and I'm, I don't have a, this is, you know, second-hand knowledge, so I don't, I didn't read the study or anything myself, but he was telling me there's like 150 kids or so, and they all also abused alcohol in their adolescence. So that's probably more likely, they just botched the study, you know, it's not like they're cannabis-only users, you really can't, I use that as sufficient data to say, hey, cannabis impairs the prefrontal cortex development in adolescents.

SpeakerAnd here we have 150 kids. Oh, don't mind that. They also abuse alcohol, you know. And they're all from, like, most of them from broken homes, what he was telling me. So I'm not sure the whole story behind it, but I'm just saying, dude, when everybody says that, you know, It does brain damage. Just kind of like do the research for yourself. Like my feeling is it really doesn't, but I don't know.

SpeakerI didn't start using cannabis until I was at least 18, so.

BubblemanI'm rocking a 25-year bioassay personally, smoking about as much as I've met any human person that can smoke, and I have to say I don't feel like I've damaged my brain at this point in time. It's possible, I guess, but I'm pretty good up there. I still have like healthy lungs.

SpeakerI'm very active, so I do a lot of like backcountry snowboarding. I think you may have modified your brain chemistry, but only improved it subtly. There's all sorts of studies about hippocampal regeneration of neurons and stuff from cannabinoids. That's what's really fascinating to me. That's what prevents Alzheimer's.

BubblemanThis is it, too. With guys like Dr. David Allen, what he's saying, what John mentioned earlier about him talking about how it'll be in the cereal, in the kid's cereal, and in the vitamins, and it's true. If we really Figure out the importance of phytocannabinoids and how they interact with us as humans and even our pets. We'll start using it in our daily life in a way that right now we use probably the amount that we need of cannabinoids.

BubblemanCurrently what we're doing is we're producing corn products instead, corn starches and like All these different, like, I think there's like 18 or 20 different things that we make out of corn and then they just create this filler into all of our food that we consume.

SpeakerA lot of it's soda, right?

BubblemanMichael Pollan has a great book called The Omnivore's Dilemma exactly on this subject about how much corn is going down in the world right now. It's the filler. We need cannabinoids to be our filler.

DaneAnd people who have celiac disease, too, I don't know if there's people who are watching, they have to be careful for that corn and other grain proteins. Even though you're eating a quote-unquote gluten-free product, you can still be getting a lot of proteins that your body is building white blood cells to attack, giving you an autoimmune disorder. Or if you have leaky gut syndrome, they can be leaking through your cell wall, your intestines, causing you problems.

DaneAll that damn corn.

BubblemanDude, that made my stomach hurt. I'm sorry. Stop ordering Snickers bars.

DaneThat was delicious, eh?

BubblemanWhere was that? At that museum in Amsterdam?

DaneDining with the czars. I felt like I was a czar for a moment, so I was like, give me the Snickers.

DaneTasted better overseas, though. I tried one here and not the same. The percentage of actual cocoa in the chocolate that's required by law is different than a few other things.

DaneTrash.

SpeakerDane, do you see problems with things like soy showing up in other things than the soy itself, like the corn? My daughter has severe problems with soy to the point Getting food from outside is like a booby trap and we're stuck eating it. Food is based on whether it makes you sick or not, not whether it was good or not. And we find that you get sick a lot when things aren't soy and it's always in the ingredients in some subtle way.

SpeakerLike do you see any parallels with adverse reactions compared to corn? Because they're both current monsters of monoculture.

DaneWell, to answer that, they do slip a lot of soy into products even without labeling it a lot of emulsifiers or just food additives. I forget the exact reason in the industrial process that they use the soy for, but yeah, you'll find it in a lot of products not labeled as soy. And yeah, it can cause huge problems if you're allergic to it or even if you have an autoimmune disorder.

DaneAnd, or if you have any kind of problems processing those kind of proteins.

SpeakerWell, yeah, because she was allergic to corn when she was young, and it developed into soy, and then it just developed into everything is made at home, and stopped thinking about it. But it's inevitable, and it's just when the side effects are that severe, you just can't link it back to something you snacked on. When it explodes to those adverse reactions that last days, and it's like you have no link at a certain point for why things are going wrong, because everything you touch seems to be subtly booby-trapped.

DaneAnd sometimes it can take up to three days for a reaction to those kind of proteins to occur in the body, so it's really hard to trace and track down. You can be going left and right trying to figure out what you ate that caused the problem and never really find it. Yeah. So I'm a big fan of just resetting the diet maybe for 30 days, keeping a food journal, and then bringing in one food a day and just seeing how you feel.

DaneIf it's good, keep it. Keep it on your menu. If it's not, never touch it. Don't touch it again, you know?

BubblemanMakes me want to go make a big juicy salad.

DanePapaya sticks.

DaneThese papaya sticks, they're really good to dry. They have a lot of enzymes in them for fruit. Helps you digest other foods throughout the day.

SpeakerYum. I need some fruit.

DaneI found, oh, who is this eating?

BubblemanI don't use any corn unless it's organic and GMO free.

BubblemanOh. That's a bold statement.

DaneYeah, it's hard to certify that. And even though, you can get a certification and then four months later you're mixing your silos again. You know, no one's there to check every single day and You know, you buy something that's certified this, that free, and you're getting a contaminant. That's why we have our GMO labeling law fail here in Colorado, because the storage and the amount of effort it really does take to separate those foods is immense, and that doesn't always happen.

DaneSo you can be buying something that says it's one thing, but doesn't necessarily mean it is. I'm glad I didn't bad at sourcing it locally. Yep.

SpeakerLocal's the only way to slow down that monster, because you can't separate it, and you can't promise it's not going to happen. You've just got to grow your own.

BubblemanYes, I did own a raw food cafe. It was inside my Melting Point gallery, and it's also where I had the first Vapor Bar in Vancouver.

DaneGood stuff.

BubblemanAnd Dane, this guy Peter tells you that you should check out Ben Fuchs if you haven't already. He's a nutritional pharmacist. Ben Fuchs, F-U-C-H-S. Look it up.

DaneLook it up. Check it out. I found online on Amazon they have a celiac test. It's only like 50 bucks for shipping. It's a blood test. It's a lot cheaper than going to the doctor's office and it utilizes the same technology. It's a Canadian-based company out of Toronto, so I'd highly recommend that if you are curious if you have those problems or not.

SpeakerExcellent, excellent.

DaneOnly 10% of the symptoms from celiac show up as a GI disorder. The rest of it has to do with malnourishment, malabsorption, hormone imbalance.

SpeakerSo it's like nutrient lockout?

DaneSay again?

SpeakerIs it more, so it's more like nutrient lockout, like it doesn't matter how much you eat, it's actually just locking.

DaneIt just goes right through, and a lot of the times, especially if you have those proteins that your body is reacting to associated with other foods around it, if it's close enough, the body will give it the boot, so you end up just having the food being attacked in your GI tract as opposed to actually absorbing it, and it causes more of a problem than it does, than the purpose of eating the food.

DaneSo it depends. A lot of times you can't absorb food, but sometimes when you have a flare-up, you can go 48 hours absorbing nothing. It's crazy. And then you can feel really sick from that. And then over time, throughout a lifetime, maybe 20 years of it, you end up with a lot of deficiencies, and that's what you have to first work on correcting. As well as the gluten-free diet or grain-free diet, that's the most important.

DaneThat's where it starts, because you can reverse the damage that's been done in your GI tract over time. The body will heal itself. And then, of course, the cannabinoids. This is why I talk a lot about it on my channel because a lot of my viewers seek cannabis because they have Crohn's or these GI symptoms and they're suffering. So they're naturally seeking these cannabinoids to help them balance out those deficiencies in their life.

DaneAnd they're not really understanding what's causing them. They may be eating a diet that's continuing the flare-ups and the autoimmune disorder while they're on the cannabis. So the cannabis isn't actually going to help them 100%. So There's a lot of these things that I like to talk about on my channel to really help push people past just smoking cannabis and really get them on to full life regimen of cannabinoid therapy and diet change.

DaneThey go hand in hand with these autoimmune conditions, especially with the small intestine, which I track as involved.

SpeakerAbsolutely, man. No, you have no idea, but I've watched all your videos from the very way back when, because I've had to look in all those subjects. My wife came from having acid reflux disorder, and then you say it, and I'm like, oh yeah, she was celiac her whole life, so I see how that degradation of your whole GI system ends up becoming acid reflux that you're now popping a different pill for with a different side effect.

SpeakerAnd on and on and on, and you completely forget that you're still subtly absorbing industrial grains that are getting to you. Now, it's that nutrient lockout. It's no different than the pH balance. And, you know, plants or humans, if your pH is too low or too high, things start to go missing. And when that goes wrong, some things break, like diabetes. Once you're over your sugar, you never get control of it again.

SpeakerIt's more like a broken toilet handle. But... That's, I like the education you bring. It's what I've used for so long because without Crohn's disease I wouldn't learn to be, how to be sensitive. Now I've got to reconsider coconut oil, which is fine. I have other oils. I just, Made no difference to me. They were all organic and of high quality. It just, now I'll pull out the palm oil and work on a blend because I hear irritation and I'm like, well then I'm just lucky in the people I've experienced that no one's been bothered.

SpeakerBut that concept that what happens to my daughter every time we eat out could happen to someone on a sublingual irritates me. So immediately I'm called to change and I'm happy I just have the resources to switch by putting my hand on something different in the cabinet.

DaneDefinitely. That's why we use the MTC oil in our product. And to that note, too, I want to start maybe a new series. I'm going to do one of the celiac tests live on camera, and then I want to keep a daily blog talking about food and maybe different things I'm learning along the way as I reset my diet to a grain-free, gluten-free diet, an actual grain-free, gluten-free diet.

DaneBecause I learned just recently one of the biggest mistakes people make They immediately switch over to gluten-free and they run out and get all these gluten-free grains. Within 30 days, the body builds an autoimmune response to those grains and they're treated in the same way that wheat was treated. It's this plateau of health that you never really excel beyond. I just want to talk about it because there's a lot of different variables on a lot of things, especially food combining.

DaneI don't know. I just want to make maybe a A series of daily series for 30 days, a few months on that, and it'll help keep me accountable as well to myself and to my people along the way, along the journey. Because that's where I'm at right now after my accident. One funny thing I found is a statistic with celiacs, you're 69% more likely to have a hip fracture in your life.

DaneAnd along with a few other things that I'm suffering from, I just learned that I was like, interesting, I have a fractured hip right now, so. Definitely need to start making some drastic changes in my life, and I hope to maybe help a few people along the way in their lives as well. It would be a cool video series.

BubblemanOoh, which hash should you buy in Amsterdam? I don't know. I didn't buy any hash in Amsterdam.

DaneI did.

BubblemanYou bought something?

DaneI went to the greenhouse, man. I bought their... The Lemon Cream, and then I bought some Super Moroccan. Rolled them into snakes, threw them in the middle of a joint. And how much were those? Oh, God, dude. American, they're like too much. More than jibs and cash. I don't know. It's like 18 euro and 14 euro. I think it was like 11 and 18 euro, something like that.

DaneIt was 18 euro for the Super Lemon Haze as well, but that was a damn good joint. It was moist. We don't have the moisture up here, so I enjoyed it.

DaneNo one wanted to smoke it with me. They're all hashing out. So I said, I'm going to smoke this joint. Although Flav, Flav came through and smoked the rest of them with me.

SpeakerYeah, I had to eat, guys. Sorry.

SpeakerIt's normally what happens about two hours in the hash church. We have to have something to eat.

DaneI cleaned my whole house during hashish because I thought I was going to have some friends come over, but they went to a hotel instead because they didn't want to drive an extra hour, so. Ridiculous.

DaneIt's actually beautiful outside here.

SpeakerI'll start this up, man.

SpeakerExcellent. Nice little hash rip after having breakfast. Ooh, the last of something special. I'm like, it's actually amazing how much hash I have to make in order to keep myself happy with hash.

SpeakerI'm not going to have someone make the hashtag.

DaneThe THC Awards are tonight in Denver at the Oriental Theater. I actually just got paid for work. I just got it just now. I will be there. So if you guys are in the Denver area, stop out.

BubblemanHey, they've asked your channel, Dane, like 25 times in a row. They're asking for what your channel name is on YouTube if you want to just hashtag it.

DaneIt's UTV.

DaneDRTV420, but Cannabis Review TV, where's your, hold on, where's your window? I want to see you guys right now. There we go. Cannabis Review TV.

BubblemanSorry Jarvin4, what's up? What's up?

BubblemanYou should have come into the chat, but I don't know if you want to have your face on a video.

SpeakerDarren wants him. He's trying.

BubblemanI have the ultimate rebuttal.

BubblemanIt's called...

DaneBoom.

DaneDread, I like blocks.

SpeakerHe's jumping in.

DaneCheck that out, Dread. That's your Arcaded Trainwreck.

BubblemanNice.

DaneThat's with HPS Lite, just using RAW. I tried to get the colors... Correct as I could in Lightroom. Stacking Calyx. Oh God, dude.

BubblemanIt was amazing. Beautiful. Beautiful. I don't know how to make it go away now. I can make it go away by just replacing it with me.

BubblemanBut it's 11 o'clock, and I've got to end this broadcast, but you guys that are in here are welcome to stick around and chat. I will say goodbye to all of the folks. Oh, Tish Mac, I guess I'll finish Hash Church with letting Tish Mac know that although I wasn't going to, I think I just blocked you. See you later, bro.

BubblemanBye. And take it easy, everyone. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. I hope it's a good one.
