1:27
um it's kind of split down the middle here Jolene and myself are besties and Alexis and MJ are besties so it sure is
1:34
a little bit of a there's a little bit of a relational um divide going on and if you notice I
1:40
got to sit next to my bestie yes she wanted she wanted yeah yeah I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to
1:46
reach over hi
1:52
you guys are too cute it's funny you guys decided that very early on you're
1:58
like Jolene you're my bestie yeah and there was no question because Alexis I was like yep I want Jolene anyways
2:04
oh well this oh my gosh
2:10
this show is starting off like no other show has um so like before we get into uh
2:18
questions about life in general um is there anything because I we are
2:24
gonna we're gonna put this thing up uh probably a couple days after we're recording it's about to go up because you guys got big things yeah that's the
2:30
fastest I'm gonna say I'm ever going to be able to edit and then get it uploaded because I'm like we got news
2:35
you got news that we want to like and we want people we want people to know that
2:41
this we're going to talk more about this later in the episode but give the
2:47
um give kind of that that three-minute elevator pitch to tell people what it is
2:53
that we're gonna that we're that we are going to talk about later on what is coming up just to kind of you know stir
2:59
the pot up a little bit do you want to be the music okay you got it music all right so in
3:07
precisely 17 sleeps we'll be having the best most fun weekend Camp Canon 2023 is
3:15
coming we're getting together we are having responsible dignified consumption
3:20
we're having fun we're celebrating culture and it's really a nice opportunity to get to know some legal
3:27
Brands as a consumer to build some nice relationships with them but mostly it's
3:33
just to get together and um celebrate how far the Cannabis Community has come because there's so
3:39
many cool things that we are able to do today that we were not five years ago um so yeah that's that's what we got
3:46
coming up okay so we're gonna we're we will talk about more about specifics on that um just I caught right away though
3:52
how do you put together responsible dignified and fun how is where's the line you cover all
3:59
the subjects laughs okay all right so the is like the dignified time like the Friday night
4:06
yeah you schedule them at different times Saturday maybe different locations really dignified consumption just means
4:13
like in an area that is stigma free where you're not being judged or looked
4:18
down upon or feeling like you need to be over there in the corner in a smoke pit
4:23
where you can't see anything or you're not part of anything which was really an injustice that we felt when we went to
4:31
cannabis events where we had to you know step outside the venue into the back alley to consume you know what I mean so
4:38
having dignified consumption you don't have to step away from anything you want to sit there we're out in nature we're
4:43
in open air we're enjoying people's company it's you know it's not an area where we like okay in this box
4:51
so yeah is there is there a place though for people like me who are very
4:56
judgmental and I would like to judge people yeah right in the midst of it
5:01
no you can sit there in the middle of all of it okay and watch everybody
5:08
just want to people watch as a math consumer you're welcome to come to last year 10 of our pass holders were
5:16
actually non-consumers and they just came to have a good time and to learn the atmosphere yeah okay here's some
5:23
education like in the places that are governed today there's no education able to be given so you know it's kind of
5:30
some people are curious even if they're not consuming themselves like you
5:36
so although MJ tried to give me a uh a teapot
5:41
um the lemon iced tea yeah it's infused we picked it up from Tokyo smoke and I
5:47
was like crack it open and I smell it and it literally it smells just like Nest tea iced tea and I'm like come on
5:54
like do you think one sip one sip wouldn't get too high would it yeah it's just like a sip it's peer pressure peer
6:01
pressure all over the place
6:12
she didn't accidentally give me something but above her stove it's not there anymore
6:19
there was a bottle of oil of which I was going to cook with
6:25
because I'm a progressive male so I yes he went to grab the oil and she
6:32
was like no no it was in the it was in the pan he had already put it in the pan and he's heating up the pan and I was
6:38
like what oil did you use and he's like huh and then he's like that when I was like no no I grabbed the pan I was like
6:45
no toss the pan in the sink I grab my new panties like what are you doing I was like that's cannabis oil yeah he's
6:51
like why is it next to the other oil why is it not labeled I was like it is
6:56
labeled she's like where who's that labeled and he's looking at the bottom for the person who complains about
7:02
cannabis labeling all the time and she was just like well who just picks up someone's oil and pours it and like how about the guy who wants to eat dinner
7:08
and he's been staying here at the house in all fairness the labeling that I had was it was a chalkboard shelf and the
7:16
label was on the chalkboard it says it said pink kush cannabis oil and it
7:22
had an arrow to that bottle so it's the bottle because the bottle is always going to be right in that yeah hey my
7:28
kids know not to use that I figured that he would like it would have been a fun night for sure
7:35
a fun day that was breakfast well enough about us
7:42
um okay I would never purposely dose anybody although I didn't think it would be fun well that's an accident right I
7:50
think it would be fun to make a bunch of cookies or brownies or whatever it is but make all of them like 90 of them
7:59
just regular cookies and then 10 of them you know like confused
8:06
cannabis roulette and everybody who knows everybody will know you know like 10 of these have cannabis in it
8:14
have fun I'm not ready I'm not ready for that game no but everybody has to know or
8:20
else is no fun yes yeah all right yeah otherwise it won't be a good game yeah we don't want to go we don't want to go
8:26
through your whole history again because we covered that in in the episode and you guys should go look at that episode
8:31
but yes we did hear the first stories we do want to hear a little bit about kind of
8:37
um the extension of that journey and maybe start with with how you guys kind of got together the vision of blunts and
8:44
beans kind of in that condensed journey and then as this relationship both professionally and
8:51
um personally has unfolded over the last year or so since we had last talked
8:56
um talk to us a little bit about that cannabis Journey individually and together
9:02
that's a lot that's a whole lot you want us to just debrief a year
9:07
yeah start in January and go from there I mean we have had a crazy beautiful
9:14
year incredible incredible Year bless you've been blessed by the ganja God yes
9:21
I often say that sometimes you know because we're in the hustle and bustle of it all and we're doing something
9:27
that's there's no like guidebook you know there's not exactly a book that's like do this and this will happen you
9:34
know so it's like I always often say that we need to look at the trophies on the Shelf
9:39
because even no matter how big and small they are like there's still trophies on the Shelf so like you know we're hitting
9:45
our head against the government on all levels like doing what we're doing you know what I mean and so some days we're
9:52
like Ugh this is tough but we have a lot of trophies on the Shelf from this year like I got an opportunity to speak with
9:59
our Premier earlier in the year um and kind of bring to her attention cannabis tourism and what that looks
10:07
like and she was able to like share her personal opinion with me and that she sees cannabis as like a medicine plant
10:13
and she believes that the guidelines and regulations in Alberta are too strong
10:18
right now um and I don't want to take like credit or anything but the first thing she did
10:25
as she got reelected was moved aglc which is our governing body of cannabis
10:31
and liquor underneath the red tape reduction Minister away from the Finance Minister
10:37
which is huge for anybody operating a business in Alberta so like that's crazy huge trophy on the Shelf there
10:45
um but yeah really it's just been like crazy how organically
10:50
like how everything has just happened organically this year like it was just a matter of like oh hey like would you
10:56
guys be interested in doing this like we well like the world's largest a year ago
11:02
when we were on your podcast that was the first podcast we had ever been on yeah and right and then I mean we've
11:09
publicly spoken at a couple events we've been to Toronto we were in Edmonton at
11:17
grow up so we've been around and uh yeah Vancouver well you guys you guys even
11:23
did your own podcast too yeah we have our own show now we're on summer break
11:28
because it's for you Mom summer good for you you need to know when to
11:34
like you know we were talking about that with uh somebody another guest we had we had reached out to them we're like we
11:40
really want to get you on the show and they're like Well we'd love to but same thing it's summer vacation we'll deal
11:45
with you with the high ladies you guys know the high ladies podcast
11:53
I stole their lighter by accident at the can Expo and I still have it her green
11:59
lighter I will bring it back to her one day have it and I need to give it back but
12:05
no they're great well we we met you we met you guys in person yeah um
12:13
Expo yeah um well no I I right now is just clicking
12:19
because remember when we left that after we had given you guys hugs goodbye and I was like like I was missing stuff out of
12:25
my pockets and I was like I was like as soon as we got there we didn't even make it inside they nailed us with hugs
12:32
before we even went in yeah yeah who knows what we lost no I know it Fighters I know
12:39
and I was like wait a minute what's gone that's not what you were like
12:48
um it's a really cool thing well we can our whole world is about rumors that's how
12:54
these things sell all right let's make them a good one all right so okay but Blunts and beans like when
13:00
we had talked to you guys you know like it originally started with a system yeah it's like you guys are doing little subscription boxes and now you're
13:07
talking about meeting the premiere and running like this you know this huge you know
13:13
so like that that might have all been kind of there
13:18
in the initial discussions a year ago but I mean moving from kind of this subscription service that has coffee and
13:24
and cannabis to like this you know provincial if not going on you know a
13:30
national Vision uh that's a that's a lot of that's a lot of progression in in one
13:36
year it's definitely not lazy yeah we uh we like to get stuff done and
13:46
uh not only that but the when we have the subscription box we wanted to have a
13:51
coffee shop we wanted to have the experience we were giving people in the Box in real life in a little cafe that
13:59
we had and loved lived at and we had our whole little movie moment and that's just not possible and it got to a point
14:06
where we were tired of waiting for someone else to do it and we're doers so
14:11
we put our mind to it and we've been chipping away at it and we've been making a ripple and it's slowly turning
14:18
into a wave so that's been cool to see um just last week we sat down with our
14:24
Premiere as Alexis our MLA for this area and when we sat
14:31
down with him like our goal going into that meeting was we wanted to set a standard for our area and we were gonna
14:39
start picking at him because you know we've talked provincially we are on
14:44
boards that are talking to federal government so we needed to get to our local guy and so it was really crazy
14:51
when we stepped in there and he loved everything we were saying he was on
14:56
board but not only that he didn't want to make these changes just in the municipality he wants to set a standard
15:03
for Alberta and I think otherwise we're just jumping the Hoops again and again in each region
15:10
as opposed to being a unified front and it like maybe sounds a lot different
15:15
you know a subscription box to like where we're at now but I think like on a
15:21
very level like Foundation like Jolene said like we're moms but we parent in a
15:27
way where we provide experiences to our children and we bring that through into
15:32
our business a lot because we want to provide experiences for people where
15:37
they feel welcome where they feel dignified where they feel good and like you know where they can feel celebrated
15:44
at the end of the day and we're so lucky to have the supportive community that we
15:50
have that's kind of just open the doors and let us provide this experience for them because like last year when I was
15:58
calling people to ask them to help with Camp Canna I first had to tell them what Campana was and like what it I know it I
16:07
know we never done it yet but we're gonna and it's gonna be great and like you know what I mean it was a completely
16:12
different conversation last year versus this year they're reaching out to us
16:17
they know what camp Canon is they've seen it with their own hands they see the vision and people have bought into
16:24
that Vision now so I mean that's just like it's crazy like when I think of like I you know I truly hope we can get
16:31
you guys there because the growth from last year to this year just in the event is like astronomical and it honestly
16:39
could not be that much growth if it weren't for our supportive Community like we have spreading the words people
16:46
screaming from the mountaintops for us and it's just like if it weren't for them if they it would be like not even
16:53
comparable it's so amazing it's so good not only them but our community and our herd at home like we wouldn't be able to
17:00
do what we do without the support system we have like we have five kids between the two of us who are between 6 and 13.
17:09
so you know they still like to have us around sometimes occasionally yeah so you know we're definitely blessed when
17:16
it comes to a support system who believes in us going after our dreams yeah so what okay so like there's a
17:24
couple things number one is the the whole thing of uh a lot of moms might
17:29
have these same sort of Visions but they I hear this term a lot I'm just a mom
17:35
yeah and I don't have the time you guys you guys though seem to express that you
17:41
know because I I think just anything needs to be pulled away when people they they limit themselves by doing that yeah
17:48
um was that a hurdle for you initially to be able to get past that person on personal level for both of you to go I'm
17:56
not interesting I can do this I think this is something that we have to deal with every single day like you know what
18:01
I mean like this is at the end of the day they're children they're only going to be children for so long like I know
18:07
that that's something that like I have um a separated house like my daughter
18:12
goes to spend time with her dad and so I don't feel as guilty as maybe and I
18:18
shouldn't speak for you but I don't feel as guilty as maybe Jolene does leaving her children who are used to her being
18:23
in their home 24 7 and never away from her right so like I feel like we go
18:29
through very different experiences as being working moms um but for me as a working mom as I look
18:36
at it as when my daughter grows up and has children I want her to see that
18:42
literally nothing is unattainable because you can do everything you can
18:47
either use it as an excuse or as your reason why I was my mom was 15 when she
18:53
got pregnant with me a lot of my childhood upbringing was well don't get
18:58
pregnant yeah because your whole life will be over and like you know what I mean like that whole like rhetoric but
19:05
my life is not over because I'm a mom I'm a whole ass person over here and she
19:11
will grow into being such a better person because she sees me be my authentic self and not just the mother
19:19
figure you know what I mean so so you're for if you're four foot two and blind you'll never be in the NBA I don't care
19:25
how much people say follow your dreams you never know watch me but you never
19:31
know there's the positivity
19:39
I don't know Jules who leave our mark on this world it could be a better place so
19:44
yeah sometimes it is hard to juggle mom guilt is a real thing I think whether they're a newborn or 30 years old you're
19:52
still going to have those moments but you're still your own person at the end of the day and you need to do stuff for
19:58
you because that's important to you and I super love that everything we do a lot
20:04
of the time it's with the kids because we are cattle moms and we do raise them without a stigma around the plant is
20:11
this another plant we grow is our medicine they know about it they choose right now
20:18
they they have no interest you know what I mean like it's just a plan they're not gardeners man they love Camp
20:24
Canada they think camp cat is the coolest place in the world they wish they could be there too like you know what I mean they've even come up with
20:31
their own ideas about having like a kids camp next door for the kids like nice you know what I mean like they're like
20:37
in it and it's exciting they get mad because there they help us with
20:42
everything we do so they see our growth like when we were in the Catalyst project they thought we were in a museum
20:47
yeah and like I cried a little bit because seeing ourselves through their eyes like I didn't picture it like that
20:53
like it was a beautiful movement and I was so proud of us 33 women for standing up and telling our story together in
21:01
such an authentic beautiful way but the kids in their eyes they seen it as like you're in a museum in a gallery in the
21:09
mall your face you know so it's nice to have their
21:17
light shining in there too sometimes and like stepping out of our comfort zone like Jolene has stepped so far out of
21:24
her comfort zone this year let's give this girl some props because she is
21:29
and like not a public speaker and not uh you know she would get like anxiety
21:35
before we would do our first show like so much anxiety but she just powers like
21:41
she's grown so much just as a person you know and like that speaks wonders is it
21:49
really does it really come down to just do it like because like so right now there's a whole lot of people out there
21:55
that are hearing stuff like this they've got these visions and it's like well how come we didn't create Camp Canada how
22:00
come we're not having sit Downs with our um premiers or whatever it may be like
22:06
because we even we we were just watching um what we're watching inventing Anna have you ever seen the the TV show
22:13
on Netflix basically it was it was based on a true story if you don't know who
22:19
Anna delvey is you should yeah you should look at Anna it's a nine episode
22:24
it's a story of somebody who found out very quickly that if you
22:29
um you can sell an idea to a bunch of people and everybody is going well who else do you have and nobody wanted to be
22:37
the first one in but once once so she ended up lying but once you kind of all
22:42
of a sudden people are like oh there's other people involved now I want to be in so how do you go about doing that you
22:48
got this idea of Camp Canada how do you you know go to a somebody in power
22:54
um and go we got this thing and have him go I mean maybe he didn't I mean or maybe she didn't and they'd be like well
22:59
you know is anybody else involved in this like do you have anything else set up like I feel like how did you get that first piece the first year they had to
23:05
be like I feel like a lot of that weight on Alexis Alexis has done sales and finance for many
23:14
years so she's good at calling people and talking to them and she can take a note and continue on and make a hundred
23:21
more phone calls that day and not be disturbed me I will be crippled at that
23:26
first note and I will cry so it's all about that yin and yang and pulling from our strengths because it was hard in the
23:32
beginning to find people and this year we do have people who've seen it so it's
23:37
easier for them to buy in but I think at the end of the day if you haven't seen
23:43
um Wanda James speak like phenomenal but it's her like just those motivational
23:49
speeches you know she was just doing her thing and she was also tired of waiting so she got on the phone
23:56
and she made things happen and you know what I'm here I'm not doing anything wrong so let's talk about it let's get
24:03
some growth on the go yeah I feel like um in my brain I've made a mountain out of
24:10
a mole hill they told me I couldn't do it they told me I couldn't bring up in a conversation they told me there is no
24:17
special events license for cannabis nobody's talking about it we're not gonna get there and I just like
24:24
didn't believe them I'm like this is literally 2023 we have a clinic in Calgary that serves psilocybin therapy
24:31
like why can't I smoke a joint at a public place like this is silly and then
24:37
when I'm seeing like there's so many great movements that are going on um but I want my voice to be heard I
24:43
want I want our opinion because we're mothers like the stigma is going to end when the mothers raise the children with
24:52
the Right View and the fathers raise the children like not showing us the War on Drugs you know what I mean like at the
24:58
end of the day nothing that we're doing is wrong we're completely positive with this and so I take that confidence when
25:06
I'm like talking to people just like come and see for yourself like our MLA
25:11
please come to Camp Canada please check please explain but we also have to like
25:17
have I feel like I'm skilled in selling the vision because I believe in the
25:22
vision so care thanks so much and so when I say I made a mountain out of a
25:28
molehill for dignified consumption like I'm prepared to die on this hill like I'm prepared to die up here on this
25:34
mountain because my daughter is going to turn 18 years old and the only public
25:40
event for her to go to is surrounded around alcohol and there's no other
25:45
option for her right now and I'm not okay with that my daughter's gonna be 18. 12 years down the road like we got
25:52
to do something about it now before it's too late and I think that you know maybe if 18 year olds had a secondary option
25:58
there wouldn't be as much you know statistics statistics proof alcohol is
26:04
just not a safe you know what I mean let's have an alternative um and so I think that's just something
26:09
that if if we don't who will because well I've sat here and wait like
26:15
waited yep no I don't I know we're talking different provinces because we're in
26:21
Ontario and you guys are in Alberta um but here in Ontario like
26:27
we go to a place like Canada's Wonderland and as a cannabis consumer in order to
26:34
even be allowed to carry my cannabis into the park I have to have my medical
26:40
documentation on me and as Timmy can attest to it creates a problem at the
26:46
gate and you have to be very polite and firm in that you are allowed to carry it
26:53
and that it is a medical thing that they're because they don't know this guy doesn't know from that guy you got to
26:59
call the head guy and then like it was like five ten minutes and then they're sorry ma'am no problem just make sure
27:05
you have that like I said yeah I don't travel without it it's fine I got it but while we're inside if I want to go and
27:14
have a joint I then I still have to leave the park to go and consume it but
27:19
this is the part that bothers me while I'm standing in line or the 20
27:24
minutes half an hour whatever I'm getting bumped by the person behind me because they're not paying attention and
27:31
they've got their beer in their hand and they're bumping into me
27:37
I didn't mean to bump into her I was trying to keep my distance but I just well in all fairness I shouldn't have
27:42
made you carry all my beer that's true too well no but it's ridiculous like we in our morning show we covered news
27:48
stories about you know Ontario um talking about Ottawa actually saying
27:54
that they want to put more graphic warning labels on cannabis now my daughter sees these canvas containers in
28:00
my home she knows that this is medicine she knows that this is a tool she's also sees cigarettes in my home because I
28:07
smoke cigarettes there's graphic warnings on cigarettes rightfully so they should be there but now just so you
28:13
know there's no lock on your cigarette pack though pardon there's no lock on your cigarette
28:19
pack no there isn't but however I can take my daughter I have to leave her in the car to go into the cannabis store
28:25
but I can take her into the liquor store where the bottles are all on the shelves that she can reach not a single warning
28:32
at all on an alcohol bottle policing when we were on the tourism panel it
28:37
grew up we spoke with City councilor Michael Jans and he said that when it comes to
28:43
um councils like City councils the largest cost for any municipality is policing and when they think about since
28:50
cannabis became legalized there's basically zero incident when it comes to policing cannabis so at this point
28:58
what's the harm I don't understand we have data we have reasons and we just
29:03
don't have enough voices so I will stand up and be that voice if we need to
29:09
yeah so what what is um there's and there's so many hurdles there I mean we we have the conversation
29:15
here all the time of people saying well it's it's legal now and the fight is over the fight the fight is is not as a
29:22
non-consumer I'm looking around going you're like like wait this is legal like like you you would be hard pre you
29:28
almost feels like there's more restrictions and more rules in place than I ever I ever would have thought so out of all the stuff that still needs to
29:35
get done in terms of what you guys what your vision is what is what's what's the
29:40
primary hurdle what is the one that is what are some of the biggest the one that you're facing right now going man
29:46
this is a tough one man where do we start I think I thought you said man I'm like yep
29:52
we're we're at a point where we feel like we need to go right back to that Foundation
29:58
because when you look at the medicinal cannabis how it's been rolled out and Indigenous friends
30:06
excise tax like we could go on and on the little guys don't have a leg to
30:12
stand on out there I mean it's it's sad for the industry but the government they're raking it in out there
30:19
1.55 billion in a fiscal year last year to be exact but
30:24
um yeah like the government's laughing um I think tourism yeah people want to come into
30:31
her like Alexis was out for dinner while we were at grow up oh yes and there was
30:37
the family from the UK that came because they wanted to experience the Cannabis culture but they couldn't they couldn't
30:43
find a joint they didn't know where to look I gave them one don't you agree but
30:49
there's just so many areas and that's that's a cannabis event yeah this is a
30:55
sad thing that's a cannabis event and people go there looking for sometimes more than just information but like
31:01
experiential information they were just in Arkansas for dinner in
31:06
Edmonton but um yeah no but that that's that's a huge thing though like we're not allowed to
31:12
actually have any the big thing for me is promotion this
31:18
industry is going to fail if we do not change your promotion guidelines if I cannot advertise my new products if I
31:25
cannot explain the benefits to my products if I cannot try to bring in new customers or new consumers or you know
31:32
what I mean there's a million products out there some people have no idea where to even start but I can't also advertise
31:39
to you even about Camp Canada like we got reached out to from Health Canada just recently
31:46
um they were concerned about how we were like they just cited the promotion laws
31:53
to us um as like uh hey could you tell me more about your event but keep in mind
31:59
all of these things are illegal like um making it look glamorous or fun or
32:06
portraying a certain lifestyle Associated to cannabis or anything like
32:11
that so the culture of cannabis portraying the culture of cannabis
32:17
could be technically depending it could technically be against the legislation
32:23
right so um that to me is mind-boggling like the
32:28
the alcohol promotion guidelines like you can promote anything you know what I mean
32:34
literally anything and you can have it on radio stations on TVs you can put it
32:39
anywhere but we've reached the peak of cannabis consumers that's what the
32:45
finance critics said last year that we've reached the peak now and almost every like I would say four out of five
32:52
cannabis companies I talk to are struggling and if they could just promote why they even do what they do to
33:00
get some consumers like some brand loyalty perhaps they'd survive but
33:05
unfortunately everybody's kind of
33:12
you're clearly on the radar then if people are coming to you saying uh you
33:17
know yeah you can't do this and that which is good you want to be on the radar well I mean it's not that they
33:23
said that we can't do it it said they're like okay can you explain yourself yeah they're like yeah and be careful how you
33:30
promote it too because like I don't I don't know if you're aware of this but like if I were to call a local cannabis
33:37
store and say hey do you have Sun Farms pink Kush uh they could tell me yes or
33:43
no but they could not tell me if I asked well how much is it they can't tell me
33:49
the price they could because they don't know if I'm an adult there's no way to verify if
33:56
I'm of age so they need to make sure that I go into the store so like this is why like and I've seen people break it
34:03
there's a store here in town that they've got signs posted on like light posts and they're just zip tied on there
34:08
and they say like cannabis starting at five dollars a gram and these are legal dispensaries and I mean like but it's
34:16
like it's like you gotta push the limit yeah people I think are also acting from a point of desperation right now like
34:23
there's so many people that are just on the brink like a month or two months away from losing it and at the end of
34:29
the day like that's what else are you gonna do um we had a for us like Health Canada didn't tell us
34:36
not that we were doing anything wrong they simply it was brought to their attention they have to follow up they
34:42
sent us a thing at the end of the day there is no special events license for cannabis so unfortunately
34:48
you have no governing authority over me whatsoever until I mean please create
34:54
one if you need help with that I'll help you but fortunately that's this that's
35:00
the state we're in right now like I'm curious like in order to okay so like if I were to have an event and I wanted to
35:06
have alcohol at that event um and I wanted to sell alcohol at that event I would need a special permit and
35:12
a license but if I were to just have a camping party with a bunch of my friends
35:18
and they all brought their own alcohol and everybody was of age then do I need
35:24
a special permit and if I don't need a special permit for that then why would I need it if all my friends brought their
35:30
own cannabis and all I'm doing is advertising the camp yeah absolutely
35:36
there's nothing wrong with what we're doing because we're hosting a camping event the things there are like
35:41
um factors of Camp Canada that we have to ensure are compliant with Municipal provincial and federal and that's like
35:48
having cannabis delivery on site we have to make sure that that is within a glc's guidelines like their app for delivery
35:55
with aglc they're age gating they're using the right platforms we have legal Brands present licensed people take part
36:03
in Camp Canada so that means we have to make sure that we are providing a safe space for them so
36:09
um no outward facing marketing illegal Brands making sure that it's not visible from the road
36:14
um like things like that you know what I mean just little tiny little hoops um but they're Hoops nonetheless and and
36:21
by the end of it where we have a nice Wicked event it's super fun but um it takes a lot of planning and a lot
36:27
of time goes into it and a lot of reading John Jolene
36:34
Colleen does the research and then you go out and do the chocolate yeah okay I
36:39
feel like preps me sends me out like a little Bulldog it's fine
36:46
does she hand you like the binder at the beginning of the day and say Here's your notes for today and I'm like Whispering into my
37:00
last year was the first time Jolene had ever run into the situation where she
37:06
had to go up on stage and talk into a microphone and so yeah and we didn't
37:11
ever hear it because we were so busy we were planning doing the things we just forgot all about the part that we
37:18
probably have to go on stage and say something so we like went up there and
37:24
we had it all planned out ahead she was gonna say that I say my
37:30
piece I give her the mic she says the words but like no noise is coming out like whatsoever like nobody can hear you
37:37
you're not talking you're not even making a single noise and the rest of it she just froze and she had to like
37:44
whisper to me what she was gonna say and then I would just like say it for her through the microphone to like
37:52
being on stage now nailed it I'm just telling you insane yeah so good
37:59
weekend here's what you need to say go get him tired can Expo
38:06
um you guys had invited me up on stage yeah and
38:12
um I went the root of uh completely awkward
38:18
um and and decided I was just going to wing this completely awkward thing I think you started off with what's your name and I just said Tim I don't even
38:25
think I said Timmy I said Tim and then left and then left it there
38:30
um so Jolene at that point I mean what are
38:35
you doing with stuff like I I didn't realize that you were so brand new on the stage I probably shouldn't have uh played it off so awkward because we're
38:42
awkward together I think that's why we're best friends we have awkward comedy that's cool
38:51
it's clean okay you know you know so I think it worked out good it worked out in my favor having a little something
38:58
face like now I've learned that um you know sometimes it's easy because
39:04
you're sitting over there and I could look at you in the crowd and I could talk to you and it looks like I'm
39:09
talking to the crowd so you know now I've gone to the point because it's still it makes me feel so nervous but
39:17
when we had that interview with Chef Jordan Wagman because I wasn't consuming
39:23
before I was talking because I was so nervous it was heightening my nerves instead of relaxing them because
39:28
sometimes that can happen even as an everyday consumer and I took an edible
39:34
and I got up there and the whole crowd just went away and I had the best interview so then from that moment on
39:41
I've just been like you know letting the crowd fade away and picking my couple people so I'm still looking at everyone
39:48
and associating with them but really you guys I'm just scared and there's three
39:53
of you if I win if I went on stage and the whole crowd just disappeared that's a bad thing
40:02
like like figuratively disappeared or literally yeah you know like literally
40:14
conference I felt bad and like looked at Alexis I was so cute
40:20
no I haven't even been on stage and not letting you talk I ate an edible it had
40:25
200 milligrams in it I don't do Edibles I have a zero edible tolerance and I ate
40:30
it specifically 45 minutes before I went on stage shout out to uh Jesse Paul for
40:36
that situation but um yeah that's uh but yeah it was good we made it through yeah Jolene did so
40:43
good it's my favorite interview of her because she's just like a hype girl I made myself a little real of it after
40:49
just from my own entertainment of all her awkwardness great I'm loving this
40:57
so so in that growth then Jolene is is it easier for you now to stand on stage
41:03
and talk to a crowd of people that slowly disappear or having those one-on-one conversations that Alexis
41:09
tends to have when she's sitting down talking to these people in power and authority can you have those conversations or are you are
41:16
you now kind of just I'm okay with talking to the crowd but I don't really have that one-on-one
41:22
um like I'm shy but if you come and talk to me I'll talk to anyone I'm just a little bit shy and awkward that's all
41:29
once you get past that it's a good time I swear jolene's like internal programming is statistics like she's
41:36
very critically my critical minded so I really enjoy when we're talking to
41:42
people of Authority or people in power when I'm talking to Jolene because where I can sell the big picture Jolene really
41:48
hone in on the little details and the very important details that like you
41:53
know are gonna sway a decision that I would not have that swaying ability
42:00
um so I do think that you know that's very powerful in that in those situations
42:08
laughs I love it well um when actually my stage
42:13
fright is what drove me to the day that I met Timmy uh conquering my stage
42:19
fright so um I totally understand Jolene where you're coming from when you say like it it kind of like it's hard to
42:27
focus I'm glad you've been able to find like that thing that works for you like focus on this person this person and obviously
42:34
the person you're talking to um but I will say that now like I host trivia
42:40
and um there's nothing that I love more than that microphone in my hand I just yeah
42:47
it's like I even bedazzled it because I just love it so much so I'm hoping one day you'll get there too you'll get to
42:53
that point where you're like I got this Alexis actually she's that way
42:58
oh no good days
43:04
we'll have a megaphone all weekend long so everyone can hear me because I'm kind
43:09
of quiet too yeah with uh so with camcana which I do want to talk specifically about that but
43:17
um the plan the planet is seems to be you want to take it outside of Alberta eventually right I mean you seem to have
43:24
a wider vision for everything going on what what have you discovered about the
43:29
state of Canada versus Alberta alone like if you when you start looking at about how we go across here as one
43:36
nation that has legalized it how different are all of the provinces
43:41
currently they're also they're all so different yeah okay Manitoba's still fighting like you looking for growing
43:48
your four plants not only could you go to jail and get criminal fines but you could get like a thousands of dollar
43:54
fine a hundred thousand a hundred thousand dollars Quebec you're not allowed to grow your four plants you
44:00
know what I mean and they fought and it went all the way to the Supreme Court and unfortunately they decided that you
44:06
know what the province has this one and I can't even consider it
44:13
died everywhere like um some places have Regulators like out
44:19
east it was the government running it and there was small businesses but now we're seeing these cute little farm
44:27
Gates be able to pop up where they actually have like a little farm you know fresh stand table situation going
44:33
on and that's that's needed that's necessary so we can have these conversations and I feel like you know
44:41
maybe you wanted to get a little education and step into an indigenous Brand store in Ontario you would have a
44:48
lot easier of a time than Alberta Alberta is the most taxed out of all
44:54
provinces and territories if you're a licensed producer and that's really hard for those little guys so everything is
45:00
so different everywhere so that's why it's so important that you're hitting all three levels when it comes to
45:07
Federal Regulation and the acts provincial or territorial depending where you are and then your municipality
45:13
where you sit too because that can even change it and uh you know several soundhill fast
45:19
guys so I'm saying was out was Alberta um in terms like was that a good place
45:25
to start Camp Canada what did were you able to learn a lot that would make it easier in other provinces would there
45:31
have been an easier Province to start in how would that have looked I think that before they all have their hurdles I
45:38
think Alberta was the best to start it in honestly because we live here number one generation um yeah for Generations
45:45
in this area also I'm when we started we were like eek the
45:51
stigma is real in our community like this is you know that's why I got your
45:56
curtains closed three years in the past and so um we just
46:02
I don't know I just embodied it I'm cool with it I'm it is what it is I'm not
46:08
changing and Sharon chat about um
46:14
I had a heart attack that night and I had to review who was in her daughter's class because there's only [ __ ] 18 of
46:21
them but I do my language I don't care if you would like to participate in
46:27
something that my business does I'm going to share that with you because you would share it with me if you were a
46:33
dentist a doctor or whatever your business does if you were a plumber you would tell me and I would call you if I
46:40
needed it maybe you need a weekend away from your kids y'all I get it dude like come to this you don't have to consume
46:46
but come it'll be fun and maybe that will break the stigma when we just don't
46:52
care anymore and we just start inviting people and it is what it is come and join it once you get there what are you
46:58
gonna say oh they were smoking weed meanwhile
47:04
why are they all staring at us like that what's going on clearly they're talking about the parent chat guys yeah so some
47:12
of us embodied the non-care well more than the other
47:17
yeah I I think I gave up caring um yeah once I came out to my kids once
47:24
my kids knew what cannabis was and why I used it I was like you know what
47:29
yeah and especially I got my medical license I was like I wear weed pants I go out I literally like
47:36
yeah yeah they know that you're freaking into the Cannabis anyway yeah
47:43
my thing is it's not about like being out like everyone definitely knows it's
47:48
a small town they talk it's for me it's one thing knowing it's another thing
47:53
like seeing and I I feel like sometimes the kids get a little bit of stigma
47:58
shade because of it you know like I think yeah maybe but your kids are
48:06
always fed and dressed and on time and no we don't know that and clean we
48:11
actually don't know I know yeah yeah I homeschooled my kids
48:16
so I didn't have to feed them and clothe them and get them off and nobody knew if I'm dirty where they belong yeah just
48:24
keep the door closed and the curtains shut and nobody can teach your daughter Spanish by uh using the Spanish version
48:29
of Shrek yeah yeah she just watched she watched Shrek four times a day in the Spanish
48:34
version and learned Spanish so nice you don't even homeschooling is so easy you don't even have to like pay attention to
48:40
your kid just it's pretty cool stuff um
48:46
it's something that I will say about our community is where it is 40 years in the past is that the stigma is very much
48:52
lifted here now um because we had a Mother's Day tea here and when we got the keys from the
48:59
venue and like we had cbdt uh
49:04
partnered with an indigenous brand um to provide that and we had it like
49:10
very Bridgeton Vibes like you know like really nice on like a lake um top like rooftop place that had like
49:17
this patio so you just want to step outside the door and consume your cannabis like for sure we're consuming
49:22
inside and when we got the keys from the venue they were like so what are you doing again like they were a little
49:28
worried like you can tell they're like yeah I don't know about this and they were a bar so I told them sorry we're
49:35
not serving alcohol during this event and and to them they've felt like that was so weird why would you gather adults
49:42
and not serve alcohol but anyways it was interesting to see them as each guest
49:48
came in their opinion of Stoners change when they saw these like industry
49:54
leaders well put together like you know like these the ladies
50:04
like honed into it at the end they're like do you girls put on any other events like can we can we maybe put up a
50:10
poster next time you have one so we can tell people about it like those kind it's just takes somebody doing it for
50:16
people to experience it and then it's just easier from there so I think that that's really
50:23
has that has that like started to snowball because I know I mean we talked
50:29
about when we first on the first interview we talked about that stigma being the mom you know you're waiting outside for your kids
50:35
um has this small community is this is this something that is kind of exponentially
50:42
stigma is falling down or like like how is that unfolding
50:48
I see it falling down all of the time like I don't see it anymore at all
50:54
because I just refuse to believe that there is one and I'm just I'm I am who I
50:59
am you are who you are I think I see it too falling down and sometimes I believe
51:04
that it went away so passionately that when it does come back around I'm so
51:10
shocked yeah like how dare you have your negativity over here like right yeah
51:18
yeah man that literally that flashed me back to Christmas do you remember when I went to grab dinner on Christmas
51:25
is one man I I always when I see families or children I always make sure
51:30
I like move away from them like I'll cross the road when I'm smoking I don't want even when I was a cigarette smoker
51:37
I still would cross the road so um I remember I didn't even realize that
51:43
there was a family behind me when I crossed the road so I like tucked over to the thing and I was like sorry and I
51:49
I moved over to the side and then when the light went green the other way I let him go first and he made a comment about
51:55
how I was going or he said to the kids he said just you said remember just
52:00
because something is legal does not mean it will not send you to hell
52:09
and I was so taken back like you said I thought this this was gone what like
52:14
what what are you talking about right over here with your shade I'm like I
52:19
looked at the gentleman he had three children tagging along behind him I could tell just by looking at him
52:26
that his religion made him believe that cannabis was such
52:33
a bad thing like I could tell that he was a religious person and that that was not in line with his values mm-hmm
52:41
so I understood where he was coming from but it didn't make it hurt any less and
52:46
the part that hurt was the fact that I'm like now there are three little children that are hearing that
52:53
and that's not necessarily true yeah so it also doesn't mean that I'm a
52:59
bad person no it doesn't no and I'm like and that's where I'm like yes this is why I believe when I went back and I
53:05
told them I was like we need to keep fighting this we need to keep fighting this stigma because there are still people out there that believe that we're
53:11
gonna go to hell or well I am you're not no I'm going to hell I guess technically because you date you're dating yeah I
53:18
know right yeah no there's a lot of reasons why I'm going to hell now yeah I never I never used to be but I've
53:24
checked off a lot of the hell boxes now apparently oopsie and those are also in line with the fun boxes
53:33
that's like food all the all the flavor is hidden in the gluten that's true
53:42
a firm believer that this next generation is gonna be out there and Crush generational trauma they're
53:49
growing up in a completely different Society where cannabis is being used by
53:55
quite a bit of the population whether it is just recreationally or for medicinal
54:01
purpose so I'm excited to see what this next Generation does because I really believe
54:07
that they're going to be the ones that heal it and just bring it that Final Phase
54:12
well and when when more people can provide dignified like
54:18
um consumption responsible dignified fund yes in in consumption space that's what we're going to call this we're
54:24
going to call this episode responsible dignified fund when they can see these things all over where we're not
54:30
stigmatized like whether you want to go bowling and go for a break or whatever the activity or it is
54:37
um it's going to create a space for these children to grow up and and see that it's okay I want it to be more normal to smoke a
54:45
joint than to go and get hammered you know what I mean yes but also like in a
54:51
responsible manner in the sense that like cannabis affects everybody differently and if you have a bad
54:57
experience with cannabis like we've lost you forever so when we say responsible that's just in a matter of do what's
55:04
best for you like low and slow rhetoric like maybe you don't carry your bong in your purse everywhere you go like I do
55:10
but like you know what I mean like whatever works for you like and then
55:15
well even that's fine too so like if I'm smoking a joint with Jolene and she
55:21
doesn't want to finish that would never happen but maybe she didn't want to benefit I would just be okay with that
55:28
and that's responsible dignified consumption um instead of being like Oh come on man finish it you know yeah yeah yeah but it
55:35
would be nice to have places like I know when I was younger um I went to the bar to learn my
55:42
tolerance one night I would have wondering the next night I went out I'd have two drinks the next night I'd have three and then I realized that where my
55:50
level was but we don't even have that for cannabis like how nice would it be like you're saying to have a little
55:55
coffee shop where you could order whatever uh with mochachino whether you
56:01
want a coffee iced coffee whatever the hell I don't drink coffee so I don't know but and then you could Infuse it
56:07
with whether you want a sativa oil or a Hybrid oil or CBD and how how much do
56:14
you want do you want five milligrams 10 milligrams 20 milligrams what's your dose you know and we don't we don't have
56:20
those places for the new consumer Market seniors like when seniors over consume their
56:27
fall risks why are we not chaperoning them you know what I mean
56:32
like my education yeah or just teach them how to even administer it my grandfather got his medical license
56:38
before it was legalized and he got it because my mom pushed him to get it
56:44
um because he had back problems and she thought it would help him with his pain or whatever but he didn't when he got it
56:49
it was in Bud form he had no idea how to roll a joint what to do with it what
56:54
part of it to even smoke like you can't set people up for failure and expect the
57:00
industry to survive so that's why that was before people even were allowed like there was a time when you weren't even
57:06
allowed to make edibles and we had to fight for the right to and like it was it was so stupid they the doctors
57:13
expected children even children that were on medical cannabis to use a
57:19
vaporizer and put the vaporizer over the kid's face like yeah we had to fight for
57:24
the right to just be able to put it into butter and oils and and well I have to I
57:29
have to be careful on on on the journey that I'm on of thinking that cannabis will play some role not sure what but I
57:36
have to be very careful because I just turned 50 and I'm a fall risk now yeah well I just don't want to uh I got to be
57:43
very very to keep that dose small well that's why we go to the legal stores because yeah the packages are 10
57:50
milligrams and some of them they do five pieces that's only two milligrams each
57:56
each one and if you need it even smaller get an oil you can get the dropper and you can literally go down to a point why
58:04
can I consume it though while I'm riding my scooter technically you're not allowed to be
58:10
intoxicated and drive any vehicle whether it's a bicycle motor vehicle but
58:18
I feel like the key word is intoxicated and because it affects everyone
58:24
differently for a different length of time and even still different consumption methods from people
58:30
differently well the whole the whole concept of affecting people differently I think is is a is a great conversation
58:37
piece and I want to talk specifically about can um Camp Cana right now because because we are getting close to our our bedtime
58:45
um but um you had mentioned right at the beginning and even what you're saying there about uh it affects everybody
58:51
differently and people gotta have different doses different things but you even said that 10 I believe was the number of people who non-consumers were
58:59
enjoying Camp Cana and to me I I think one of the steps that
59:05
um people often talk about the stigma from the the other side so you know people not in the Cannabis space have
59:11
this stigma about those in but there's also this this thing that people in the
59:16
space with this assumption that you all must spoke cannabis you you have to smoke
59:21
cannabis it's it's and it's like wait hold on we need to get to a place where we need to have events like Camp Canada
59:28
where listen um just like when people used to say when um when I was in the church and
59:36
before like when I was going to heaven not hell um and I would be a comedian and people
59:41
would want to live and sit there and say oh you're a Christian comic it's like no no I just happen to be a comic who at
59:48
the time was Christian and we need to start stop having these things of going you know you're a cannabis Chef we just
59:55
talked to Jordan Wagman on uh podcast episode we just did and it's like he doesn't want to be a cannabis Chef I
1:00:02
don't want to you know I don't want to be a non-cannabis comedian um your event shouldn't even be a
1:00:08
cannabis event it's an event a great event that happens to allow cannabis
1:00:15
consumption I'm a comedian who happens to maybe talk about cannabis maybe not
1:00:20
Jordan Wagman is a chef who happens to use cannabis you are moms you're not
1:00:26
cannabis moms you are moms who happen to consume
1:00:31
cannabis and so when you were saying that about Camp Canada that to me is is great because what you want is to create
1:00:38
more of those spaces where it doesn't matter if you consume come out have a great time some other people here might
1:00:43
yeah but let's just have a good time and allow it so that everybody can come to
1:00:49
have a good time can I can and it's your choice you know at
1:00:54
the end of the day you got to follow your heart whether it's that extra piece of chocolate or maybe an extra doobie
1:01:00
depends who you are right or not because I tell you I've been to events too where if you go a
1:01:07
little too hard too early in the day smart to lay off a little bit because you don't want to crash too hard in the
1:01:14
middle of the day you still have a full rest of it of activities and you know it's about it's about learning your
1:01:20
balance and I guess my question would be what because I know you guys are about responsible what do you mean magnified
1:01:27
yes I'm dignified what checks do you guys have in place for if somebody feels a little overwhelmed per se what a camp
1:01:35
Canada yeah Vibe enhancers all throughout the cash and and their job is to just enhance the
1:01:42
vibe like The Vibes going south like let's make sure everybody's doing good our Bud Patrol units
1:01:48
um go throughout the camp check on everybody do you need any water you guys doing okay great awesome like we're
1:01:54
constantly just checking on people like we're moms let's check on them how are they doing we also have hired security
1:02:01
I'm first responder but not only that you have to remember it's not like an
1:02:07
event where there's alcohol like people don't go Hog Wild you know they they if
1:02:13
they are going to consume all day they are being mindful of how they're layering it and what effects they're
1:02:19
getting so by the end of the day they're feeling euphoric instead of in their hands snoring you know yeah I was gonna
1:02:25
say yeah because what's the alternative if they overdo it they go sleep they're still not running naked in the
1:02:31
in the bush wait is it clothing optional or what's the deal yeah
1:02:41
we do which is exciting okay all right um but the thing is I'm not even pants
1:02:46
now so that's why the day has like we worked really hard to put a nice flow to the schedule so like you start your
1:02:52
morning with some yoga then you go into a guided meditation sound bath if you have consumed at those points in your
1:02:59
day like your Vibe is just like on the right level for the day but that's your choice we do games in the afternoon
1:03:05
maybe that's not your Vibe maybe you want to go have a nap in the afternoon maybe you want to play sports and
1:03:11
there's music at night there's also a movie at night so like depending on what you want to do like there's two
1:03:17
kilometers of nature trails though so if you just need to get away and have that moment they can get away and have that
1:03:23
moment at night we light it up so it's really beautiful like
1:03:30
consuming and doing yoga is not for everyone I was super stoked last year
1:03:35
and I learned that it is actually really hard to consume and do yoga on point
1:03:41
Have you ever have you ever gone to Goat yoga where they're doing yoga and there's like goats literally licking you
1:03:47
yeah that's a very that's a true thing have you done that I haven't done it no but
1:03:53
it's the true thing that people find goats I'd be worried about the goats yeah I would be too
1:03:59
um but I'm on the yoga train I'd like yoga changed my life I'm on that train as well yeah um so what's the purpose of
1:04:06
Camp Canada let's kind of close this thing off here um really give Camp Canada that that
1:04:11
good sell what's the purpose what's happening the purpose of cancana is to have fun
1:04:19
and get together that's like finding community members celebrate being a
1:04:24
consumer and a cannabis event where legal Brands can be present so you can get to know the why behind the products
1:04:30
that you're consuming because there are some amazing events that happen but you
1:04:35
have to have like your registration yeah governments
1:04:41
Ontario than here maybe a bud tender or in the industry some way to attend these
1:04:47
amazing events and we wanted the Two Worlds to be able to come together and
1:04:52
yeah because one day one celebrate the culture the culture was Lost in Translation through legalization so
1:04:59
we're just trying to bring the culture back to the legal market so is it a hybrid because what what I'm
1:05:06
noticing here we MJ and I have talked a lot about it personally and publicly about the the uncomfortable divide that
1:05:14
has happened in the Legacy market and the legal market and a community that used to seem to be on the same page
1:05:22
um as now has now been split with with people on the one side looking down on
1:05:27
the Legacy people and the Legacy people going oh you guys have sold you guys have sold out it's like wait hold on
1:05:33
this is what you we all wanted this and like what's what's happening and so Camp
1:05:39
Canada is is you're saying it's kind of trying to well it's great bridge background Legacy with legal it's yeah
1:05:45
it's it's what's needed it's not a I don't imagine it's um like
1:05:50
like we don't have any Legacy brands at Camp Canada but we do like Legacy people
1:05:56
yeah for sure like we respect the foundation but also legal people it's
1:06:01
legal to consume in Canada like you know what I mean like we're at the end of the day like the Legacy Market culture is
1:06:08
the right word they created the foundation for the legal Market they
1:06:13
have you know the genetics they had all the things that we needed and now that we have it it came from there we see an
1:06:19
industry that's just lacking the foundation because the foundation wasn't poured properly
1:06:26
um so now we need to go back and fix that and I think that fixing that really just needs to be to
1:06:32
remember the culture that made it so special to begin with before we worried about legislation and things like that
1:06:39
like the culture was you got a good doobie you called up your friends you
1:06:44
all went down to the park and you shared the Doobie and you had fun and you did whatever you wanted because you were
1:06:51
just having fun and dignified with your friends so let's just bring that back to it instead of let's see your qcw number
1:06:59
you can have a pre-roll I guess we'll let you in out your bag to make sure you're not over your limit you know what
1:07:05
I mean just some bring some culture back to it it sounds like the Cannabis industry
1:07:11
built a mansion but forgot to do all of the Landscaping yeah
1:07:18
yeah this is what the culture we need to go in and we need to plant the flowers and
1:07:24
the bushes and the gardens and the paths and the that's beautiful that was beautiful yeah thanks for
1:07:30
building the Mansion so tell people right now uh because obviously I think
