Understanding CBD vs. THC and its Benefits with Rhonda Peoples - Mind Over Matter #36

0:00 I'm not even a word marijuana to like it's not even that's just made up to make people afraid of it. Yeah, it just it's just it helps more people than it hurts because like I said, I was one of those I didn't want to have anything legalized, you know, like, you know, again, that's all we need is more stupid people. But the amount of people that you can make a difference for and help is by far exceeds the people who are going to be stoned.

1:02 All right, everybody, welcome on back to another episode. Very fortunate guests we have here. Rhonda, thank you for coming. How are you feeling today? Good. I'm doing fabulous. I'm doing fabulous. Love and being here. Nice. How are you feeling, man? I am phenomenal. I don't know if anyone can tell, but I got a new mic. You heard Joe Rogan. Send my keys. So I have popped it out this show and I'm ready to kick it off. All right. Well, I guess we'll just dive right into it. Another member we met through an M3 meeting. We'll put that link below if you guys want to check out, see what that's about. It's a wonderful virtual networking platform.

1:43 And I mean, we ran into all kinds of people willing to help us out. And Rhonda is just another one of those people. She's part of the CBD field. I'll let her kind of dive into it. But so far we've had about a 30 minute conversation off the air and I've enjoyed every minute of it. So I'm excited to see what what we're recording and what's going to come out of it. So take the floor. It's all yours. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, my name is Rhonda Peoples. I'm a VP of sales in the hemp industry. And I say that just because CBD is just one of the things that come from the hemp plant.

2:24 We actually are farmers. So we practice on using the entire plant and know and understand that the entire plant makes a difference in the world, not just for people, not just for animals, but also the environment. So we so we do CBD. We also do extraction. We have an extraction facility in Big O's Spyro, Oklahoma. We also are starting out bioplastics, which is the hemp derived utensils and straws in Oklahoma. And also we just sent over our beginning stages of our straws to Dallas to get those started.

3:11 So it's really about working on getting rid of plastic. I don't know if you guys know, but in most countries, they have banned one use plastic. So like the to go stuff, all those little one use type of plastics are out of here. So United States a little slow on that. You know, because they're making big time money on the plastic or whatever reasons. And but they're coming around, right? They're coming around. So, so we, so we do that. We're also working with hemp creeps. We are currently working with a couple of other countries right now and teaching them how to grow, teaching them and working with them and getting them machinery there into their country to make hemp creep blocks so that they can make hemp creep homes for the underprivileged, right?

4:08 They're very inexpensive homes, but they're very good homes. They make a difference. And they're working with the government and the schools there to really, to really set something up to make a difference to where this country can be self sustaining. Right? They can not bring in a bunch of cement and all this other stuff, right? To be creating homes. So we're very, very excited about that. That is that's just the heart part of it. And then speaking of hearts, we started a project with hemp hearts, which are a great source of protein.

4:49 Hemp hearts? Yeah, we call them hemp hearts. But you've seen them at Costco, right? The backs, right? I think they say hemp hearts on the outside of them, but it's protein, right? It's like hemp seed, like hemp hearts. They call them hearts, but it's when they de-hole them that they have the protein, I'm just going to call it a seed because I'm not the farmer who has all that technical blah, blah, blah. Works for me? Yeah, exactly. So it's one of the best sources of protein. So we have found a gentleman that is ready to rock and roll in that arena and start his hemp heart business.

5:35 And we're working with him to teach him how to do all that, blah, blah, blah. Right? So there's just so much you can do with hemp. We could get lost in the amount of things that can be done. So that's where our focus is right now. Well, how'd you get started in hemp? Why did hemp stick out to you? I was going to say, I don't see many women in their mid-40s talking about hemp. No. I love you. So the interesting thing is I was in the dental industry at the time that I got the phone call. Imagine that. In sales, I've been in sales all my life.

6:16 I came from the automotive industry. I grew up in the automotive industry, actually 22 years. And so I was currently in the dental industry. And I got a phone call from some people of mine that I had done a lot of personal development and training with. And they had been in this hemp industry. They had started this company, blah, blah, blah. And they wanted to start growing sales. And so they wanted to recruit me over. And I was like, hemp. Yeah. I don't know anything about hemp. Like what are you talking about? Like I'm thinking marijuana, right? You're just calling it hemp. And I know it's marijuana. You know, I have my own opinions about marijuana and laying out blah, blah, blah.

6:59 So anyways, I jumped because that's my personality and I love exciting new things. And I started the business on the phone with farmers. That's how I got introduced to the business is I was calling farmers to see if we could partner with them in growing hemp. That was my introduction. So I had a lot of conversations with farmers, someone and so forth. And then I started going to trade shows and got connected to a lot of doctors. And then when I started talking to doctors, I started getting it like I started understanding because my attitude was number one, it was all marijuana.

7:46 Number two, all we need is more stupid people in the world, right? That was kind of my attitude about it. When I drive by and say, you know, legalize marijuana, I'm like, great. I'm seeing more stupid people. Right. That's who I was. So uneducated, so under a rock about it. And so now I really was kind of forced to learn about it. So hemp is like a pleasant to cannabis and it's non psychoactive. Like THC cannabis is psychoactive. So you get high, you do not get high with hemp. There was a farm bill, 2018 farm bill that keeps it under 0.3%. Right. So if a field gets tested and it's higher than that, then it will be considered marijuana and they will burn it.

8:34 And stand real close to it while they're. And stand real close down when. Like, yeah. Down there with a little lighter. Oh, it's shit. I swear to God. Exactly. No. I think it's fascinating. You said you were forced into the information and what's happening now is it seems like there's a wider, wider audience of kids taking marijuana and using marijuana because it's becoming legalized and the parents are still kind of lost. They don't get all the information and this was it affected me too. So like the parents don't, they still see it as the 1970, 1980s marijuana and that's just thinking of marijuana in its own.

9:21 And then when then like you, when you bring in hemp, you're like, oh, it's just another part or cannabis. Oh, that's just another part. So where do you think, where do you think parents should be going to? So that's really kind of, that's, that's, that's, um, I could take that and split that into two conversations. So when you say marijuana, see, I don't deal with marijuana. I deal with hemp. Right. I deal with a non-psychoactive and because we have mostly natural paths on our board of advisors, right, who work in the health world and work with epilepsy, um, um, fibromyalgia, uh, uh, nervous PTSD, like all kinds of, of different diseases out there.

10:13 I see the combination of marijuana, THC cannabis and hemp coming together in a gummy or a gel pack or whatever, right, or, or in a vape, right, that makes a difference for them in many different ways, right? Alleviates the seizures, bring the seizures down, alleviates the anxiety, makes a difference in pain for cancer patients. Um, I have a very good friend of mine who just recently passed with cancer and it was a very, very, very painful cancer. And having a marijuana card in his case made a difference for him and his level of pain, right?

11:00 He didn't have such a miserable time before he passed. He just passed in July, right? God bless him. But so I've seen other uses. Now I still hear, now I'm not a doctor. I'm going to repeat what I've heard that if there is use of marijuana under the age of 25, because your cortex is still growing, right? There, it will, there is damage that is caused from marijuana, right? Being smoked before the age of 25, right? It changes after that, right? So then there's that, there's the recreational conversation, which I don't know if that's the conversation you brought to me, Trevor, but there's a, there's a, there's the recreational side, right?

11:52 That, you know, people do what people do and people are going to get stoned when they want to get stoned. They're going to figure out how to get stoned. I mean, we have people, you know, I hear about people smoking bath salts. So Lord have mercy, right? I mean, people who want to get stoned are going to go get stoned, but on the medical side of it, it makes a huge difference, both marijuana and hemp. Now kids and hemp, I have not seen any research as of yet that there are any dangers for children that are taking CBD. Now there could be some out there.

12:33 I'm not aware of that. I have not seen it and we are an Australian company. We're just the U of subsidiary. So we have access to the UK, which is usually much more advanced than we are as far as I'm concerned on the medical side, right? To be in the UK and do CBD, you need a doctor's prescription for CBD as opposed to here going into a circle K and think that you're getting CBD in the bottle that says CBD. So that's what I know, right? I know that we have a lot of teenagers, we have a lot of people, we have a lot of kids that do have anxiety.

13:19 There's a lot of stuff going on. I do know that CBD makes a difference. I also know that CBD, right, you have an endocannabinoid system. We all have an endocannabinoid system. It's just been found and researched over the last, I don't know how many years, right? And so there's receptors in there and those receptors become low, which means you have a level of THC, you have a level of that in your body, right? And when they get low, that's where they're saying, now again, this is the very non-medical all version, right, that probably anybody can understand except for a doctor.

14:03 They would be like, what in the hell did she just say? So when your receptors get low, that's where the fibromyalgia or anxiety or some things start happening. So it really makes a difference in the holistic effect of our body, right? Most like vitamins, right? There's some vitamins that we get depleted in for whatever reasons, right? And so we take vitamins to kind of fill us back up in that, that depletion area. Yeah, yeah.

14:43 When I first started smoking marijuana, recreation, I wasn't prescribed it, but I was doing it recreationally for medical reasons. So I had a feeling that medically I needed it pretty bad, but I was never told, hey, you should be taking this medically. And I did, I ended up doing the whole MedCard process here in Tampa. So I did do that. I just stopped doing that now. But Nelson, we use on a podcast, he was one of my leaders in the army and that's what he was saying too, is CBD, just like vitamin C, vitamin D, people don't go outside all day. They need to take vitamin D to supplement that. That's the same thing, Trevor.

15:24 Yeah. You may be down in this and you just need more. Yes. Right. Yes. And everybody, and that's where everybody's different. So I have a lot of people, you know, I've had a few people from M3 links, right, that are clients and they're kind of like, well, how much do I take? But, you know, so I just kind of get them started like, hey, get started this way. And then I really want you to be aware and it's kind of hard sometimes to, because some people are not aware of their bodies. Yes. But yeah, I know what you're about to say. It's hard to tell them to do that. Yeah. Yeah. It's really hard to tell them to do that. And so kind of depending on the personality that I have, I kind of say, well, do this for three or four days and then increase it for another three or four days.

16:09 And in a couple of weeks, stop taking it because you may have stopped having that knee ache when you're going up the stairs, but because you're so used to it aching that you don't realize that it left until it came back. Okay. Okay. So I let some people, that's kind of what I tell them, but the reality is, is how much CBD is based on the individual that you need. And that when you, you can, you cannot OD, meaning die, so hasn't been proven yet, right?

16:56 The worst that could happen is diarrhea or throwing up. Okay. That's good. I always like to let people know that like, you're not going to OD. Now I just got research probably a couple of months ago and I've shared it within Freelink because I try to share that network that it came out of the UK that the United States, underdosing, that's where you may talk to some people say, Oh yeah, I tried that CBD stuff. It didn't work on me. Well, depending on what they bought, where they bought it, you know, a lot of people buy it out of, out of, out of circle K, right? I can tell you right now, there is a spit of CBD in anything you're going to buy out of circle K, right?

17:37 I mean, so we happen to have one of the highest potencies per bottle, but we're still under dosing as a society, the levels of CBD potency that you have. So like I have a tincture, I have a tincture, which is an oil, right? It's 3000 milligrams. Most of your tinctures you'll see out there, you know, pick them up and read them in circle Ks or something, they'll be like 500 or they'll be, I literally have seen when I said 100 for the whole bottle, which means that's where you get your spit of CBD.

18:21 Because by the time you take it out, right, you use the dropper, I mean, there's not going to be a whole lot of CBD in there. There's going to be a lot of oil in there, not a whole lot of CBD. So, so we have started increasing. So I take about 800 milligrams a day. Now, that's because number one, I don't have to buy it. Right? But I'm doing it just to test it out, right, to kind of see where I can go. We're working on new products that have higher milligrams of CBD and higher than the 3000.

19:06 We're going to go to, we've got a 4000 we just created and then we're going to do like a pop, like a pop where it's just, it is isolate CBD isolate only and that's really more for your cancer patients, like your people that are major pain and chronic like bad stuff. Which is a lot of people, you know, a lot of people in the world. I mean, and you guys did a lot of military people, right? Lot like my, my daughter, my son-in-law, they're both military. There's, you know, one has, I mean, we all have inflammation, right? But there's, there's such rigor in the military that you put on your body and then the anxiety.

19:52 I mean, you guys know this with a number of people with the levels of anxiety just in the military. Now we could say this probably got a lot of industries, but, but CBD is a no-no. Like they won't even, they won't even let me bring it in in my baggage. Like I have to leave it on the car. They don't want to have a cute little coke with you. Yes. Absolutely. Like they're like that. Now I do, I do give them, they have a pet tincture because they have Australian shepherds and they have one Australian shipper that is off the wall all the time and he's three years old. And so I, they get a pet tincture for me that has CBD in it, right?

20:37 They rub it along the nape and in it makes the difference for him. But that's all. Nothing else. They can't wait like, you know, he can't wait until he gets out of the military because he knows it makes a difference for anxiety and for, you know, inflammation, like this regular stuff in your body, let alone the anxiety and other stuff that you acquire out in the world today in whatever environment that you're in. But yeah, there's, there's a lot of that. We, we've had to go through bank account after bank account after bank account as a company because hemp and marijuana are in the same, they're in the same.

21:24 And you talk about parents, Trevor, like the government, like how do they figure it out? You stop somebody on the road, they have all these jars of white powder, right? And they're like, it's, it's isolated CBD hemp isolate. And they're like, you know, how do they know? I mean, that's tough. Maybe they pull somebody over that has the plans or whatever. And they're not like, you know, so it is, it is, it is, it is a tough situation. And you know, we live in a country where people do things just to make money.

22:07 And I believe the people that like to get stoned are kind of taken for granted and things are created in bathtubs and all kinds of stuff in the world of hemp. And and it's just dangerous. Combining it with THC, right? So there's no government, you know, and, and we're not really excited about government, yet I would like to have a level of like, let's get the jump out of here. Yeah, we just have to take it to a national scale, a manufacturing national scale.

22:49 Yeah. Everyone's manufacturing it the same way or they're the same process, whatever it is. But it seems like, I don't know, I don't know, okay. What do you think? Like, because I started using CBD in the army because I was drinking so much and like, that wasn't going to work. So honestly, I just said, fuck it, right? I'm going to try CBD. And I found one with it said THC free on it, right? Like zero THC. And then I threw like a drug test from Wal-Mart and it was hot. And I'm like, well, if I can't like, this is like the top shelf bottle I could find around the right way. Well, you've got when you look in a CBD, right? There is on your full spectrum.

23:29 And then there's broad spec. So you want to look, you've got to read your bottle. If you are doing full spectrum now, before I got in the industry, right? There's a lot of MLMs, there's selling CBD. And you know, my husband worked for UPS at the time. So I know, I mean, he gets in an accident. There's a drug test right there. Well, you know, his joints, like he's in his 50s, he's running all day long. He does, he does 28,000 steps a day. Right? And so, so he's hustling. And so I would use CBD, SAV or, you know, muscle cream on him. And so I was getting it from this lady and I said, now he's going to be okay with a drug test, right?

24:14 She said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, once I got in the industry and I started realizing that there's different levels of CBD as far as when it comes to drug testing, right? And the full SPAC, right, is better for your body. Like the broad SPAC is still good for your body, but you're not going to pop hot. The full SPAC drum, you're going to pop hot. Well, yeah, like I got this at a smoke shop, you know, but I want to say broad. It was broad. It was, I want to say it was broader. I don't think it was Iceland, but I remember it saying THC free, right? But then I popped hot for it, but I felt so much better.

24:57 I remember thinking like, if everyone could do this, we wouldn't have nearly as many issues as we. Yeah. And that's how you got me into your little circle. So like me, Kevin was my first leader at 19. So I was this annoying piece of garbage just running around annoying him all day. And then finally at like 22, 23, I was getting medically discharged and then I ended up divorced as well. And Kevin was the man to help me through my divorce process as well. And he just saw me coming in every day just with like this, like my shoulders down. I'm upset. He's, he's like, man, just come over to my house this weekend.

25:42 If you'd be down to come over to my house this weekend, I think I'd have something to help you out. And I said, dude, I'll just be there. Me and Kevin had never hung out before then. We never did anything to get like, we've done a couple of things, but at the time he didn't like who I was with my ex-wife at the time. And I didn't bash him for that. I understood. We never got closer. But then once that, once she went away, this is the thing that brought us closer and got us, I mean, I mean, to where we are today. Really. Yeah. It wasn't really like I didn't like you because of her. It's just, I knew I couldn't get close to you with her being there, especially because my wife wasn't crazy about her. No, I remember like, yeah, cause you were getting divorced and you had like transmission issues like with your clutch and your car or something. And it was like, it was like Mike Tyson just knocking you out one after another.

26:25 I remember like sitting at this, uh, at this car place, I'm going to drop yours off and I was like, you know what, I'm about to offer you some. If you don't like it, just send it right on back. And forget I said it. And I'm like, I got some pot in my house and I think it will really help you. Cause I've been doing it for probably a month before this, right? And I'm like, this is exactly what Trevor needs. Cause his mind's always racing. He just needs to mellow out and who I was in the military is the same person you see on the podcast every day for those listening. I, I was this guy running around smiling all the time, but then once all these things hit, it was just straight downhill. And you could tell even with the coworkers around us that it was affecting the coworkers around us because I wasn't running around with the smile on my face anymore.

27:08 So it's, it's crazy that there's this big stigma, even with hemp, even CBD, just it's almost just everyone's not aware. What's that? Ignorant. Yeah. Ignorance. Right. But I mean, look at other things in the world and I'm going to bring up something very controversial and then I'll drop that and bring it up again. But like, look at the, look at the jab. So I can't even think of the vaccine vaccine. You're trying to get us not kicked off YouTube by not saying the word, but I know, I know, I know, but you know, I mean, look at that.

27:54 I mean, you know, people just, um, they don't always do research. They kind of listen to what their neighbor said. Well, it's rubber said. Yeah. And I'm like, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, okay, well, you know, that's great. I love Trevor, but like when was the last time Trevor did research on it? Right. And that, that was the biggest thing. That's why I asked you where, where a parent could go get research from because that's, yeah, we have this wonderful awesome social media. And we have the history of hemp. Okay. Yeah. Right. And then, or you can get to our website, which is botanic wellness us day.com.

28:37 Okay. Now that's botanic, not botanical botanic. We can go below. Wellness us day.com. Right. And, and look up the history of hemp. Right. And you'll get some background. I mean, why it was around, why it was given a bad name, why the Hispanics and blacks were brought in saying they're the problem and the issue. Right. And it's, it's all about money. It's all about money. And who's going to get it. And who's going to, you know what I mean, left hand, right hand, black shoe, brown shoe, just depends on where you are. So a lot of that hemp was huge back in the day.

29:20 We used to have for a lot of things, you know, rope. You can use it for lumber. You, I mean, there's just tons of stuff. There's tons of stuff that you can use for and it went away. Um, so there is a huge stigma and that was placed on hemp purposely. I do want to ask, like, I saw a post on Twitter and it was saying how like 40% of young women in this country, like, you know, 17 to 30, let's say 17 to 27 that we're on like 40% of those people were on some kind of anti-depression drug. Like, have you seen how like using your propolygists huge, like with women specifically, because we don't really, yeah, it's very true.

30:11 Yeah, there's, there's a lot. There's a lot of opioid usage. Um, and anti-depressants is huge. And so, you know, you've got the kids, you know, I mean, I'm not going to just go through the list, right? You've got the kids, you've got the responsibility of making sure everything's okay. Like men take on the responsibility. Now I'm being very generalized, right? Men take on the responsibility to bring home the money and to, to take care of the, that's how they take care of the family, right? Right. And women take care of them to make sure the money is dispersed properly to make sure all the bills are taken care of. Make sure that the husbands take care of, make sure the kids are taken care of, make sure the house is taken care of, make sure the doctors appointment is made, make sure the dry cleaning is done, or I could go on and on and on and on.

31:00 And now they're employed. Yeah. There's a lot of pressure. And if you watch daytime TV, I'm not a TV watcher. As you can tell by our earlier public services before I get on here. But occasionally, you know, I'll go take an oil change or I'll be somewhere where somebody has daytime TV on. Oh my God. Like every other commercial is a pill for something. Yeah. I am not shitting you. The super cool. Yeah. People that are home watching this. This is why they're all on medication.

31:42 Because the TV is pumping up, pumping up, pumping up, pumping up. The Super Bowl halftime show was sponsored by Pfizer this year. Yes. Does that tell you anything? Hello. Hello. We were looking at Trevor was like a Twitter thing. It was like all the top stories were some bad. Yeah. Yeah. I went on to my YouTube and it was just my recommended and I, I screen, I screen recorded the whole thing because it was the first, I want to say like the first 10 videos on my YouTube was something bad. This train blew up here. Trump is this. China is doing this. Russia is doing like. Yes. Everything is just met. And in today's world, everybody has a phone.

32:22 All the information is on our phone. We could go on. We could research what we want. But right now what's happening is we're not doing what we want. We're not researching what we want. We're researching what the people up top want us to research. That's right. That's right. And it's being placed in front of our eyes every single second. We are being trained to continue to be sheep. Yep. Like the rates of like anti-depressant use is way higher for women than it has been. Yeah. Could you, is that a good all CBD is a good alternative? CBD CBD will take on and get rid of opioids.

33:04 Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Telling it here first. Yeah. For sure. For sure. Pharmaceuticals to hold to that baby. That's all right. That was one of my biggest things too. And I moved back home. Military. They prescribed me. Yeah. Zoloft. But they didn't. Yes. And they didn't even. If you wait long enough, they'll be a they'll be a they'll be a long time. They'll be a lawsuit that you get to join. Right. Because it causes cancer. Yeah. Yeah. And so they didn't even sit me down.

33:45 Talk to me about the medicine that I should be taking. That was my biggest thing is I never even got. Look, Trevor, we're going to prescribe you Zoloft instead of whatever other drug we could prescribe you because this helps with this. And I see this problem within you here. No. And I was like, Hey, we saw that you had a prescription for this before you got out. We're just going to send you some to your house and we'll see what happens. And so I, I hopped on it and I was on Zola for about a month and I was sleeping on average 14 to 16 hours a day. I was, yeah, I was sleeping 14 to 16 hours a day. Yeah. Yeah. People are people are concerned about him.

34:28 And it being legal and oh my God, oh my God, but they are all overtaken opioids. Yeah. And because it's legal. Right. Forget about the long list of side effects. Forget about the long term side effect. Like I said, him's been around for eons. Right. And it's a plant. And I think that's a good thing. I mean, I just can't say enough about that. And where we are, we could get into a lot of trouble if I continue talking about medical and doctors and where we are in the world today.

35:13 So I'll start up about that. But yes, definitely something to look into. What, what about the health and spontaneous therapy. What kind of medication like get with a natural path. A lot of your natural path. I're using CBD, like, I mean, I just had another option today from another natural path that said, Hey, I mentioned it to my, in my newsletter. The stuff is flying off the shelves. Right? I mean, it, you know, it, it doesn't make it's not addictive, like, you know, you just go on. I can see that being more popular kind of moving forward like Trevor shouldn't go to the doctor and not be asked like what's your sleep schedule look like how much sun are you getting like actual questions like I don't Western medicine I don't it annoys me because it doesn't take into account like the soul with a mind body spirit or anything right and it's just this whole you coming with a problem here's a pill it's like a mechanical way of thinking like you need this here's that all brain know heart yeah exactly it's like like what it was like when we were kids at all was like you you couldn't concentrate in school that gave you a script for Adderall right so you're putting a whole generation of kids on what is effectively well now I don't know yeah I don't know if you seen what's happening recently but it's just been on Tic-Toc hang out one second Anthony we'll catch you later we talked so long we're just bringing in everybody else yeah but yeah it was going around on Tic-Toc because

36:48 the people prescribed Adderall have been taking their Adderall but it's not been doing what it's past been doing so they're creating a conspiracy theory around the fact that Adderall is no longer even Adderall Wow it was like this darn link wasn't working what happened I got disconnected totally totally you can join our conversation I'm supposed to be running some Facebook ads for them here in a little bit hmm okay I got it okay got it yeah it's you know I just go back to taking your life into your hands as opposed to doing what others are telling you to do like really take your life back into your own hands and take your health and your care and back into your own hands I mean really I mean we could talk about the food that's created in the United States now we can I mean we could go into all of that right I mean all the way down from how we feed our animals I mean we we know that that hemp is a wonderful wonderful healthy source of protein to be able to use with animals and we're not allowed to do it right they'd rather pump all the hormones and shit in them that we turn around and eat and deal with right they'd rather do that

38:23 than to go in the natural path the natural side of things so um yeah what would you say then if uh say I'm like 13 or not 13 say I'm like a kid right or a young teenager and I I want to start exploring maybe CBD but my parents are they got a terminal case of reefer medicine or let's say this I'm 25 and I know it could help my parents but they have a real bad case of reefer yeah like I could see the effect it had on me and I know my parents could greatly benefit for this for sir I honestly I would go get hold of the natural path and have a natural path to have a conversation with the doctors I mean with the with the parents I mean for the mere fact that you know that there there there are certifications so it kind of depends on how your parents are right where you can go to the go do the homework like go to the homework and say what is the difference between marijuana and hemp boom you know alright everybody first add of the mind over matter podcasting series and it is a doozy we finally got an ad finally got a sponsor solid solutions but Trevor who are they well they're two handsome young men working diligently behind the scenes for realtors looking to help them get leads leads you say how much is that going to cost less than 20 bucks a day

39:57 meaning that that means if I sell one house a month it pays for itself 10 times over roundabout how about that so if y'all know any realtors if y'all know anyone in your family anyone anyone in your friends anyone in your circle who is a realtor real estate broker anything feel free to send them our way we're looking to ramp up the numbers here looking to pay the bills y'all know what it is but we'd be happy to help you guys out go ahead and check check out that link in the description just book a call with us give you a free 30 minute demo and just kind of go through what we do for you so seems like you're interested why don't you find out you'll never know until you click that link click the link below and then you'll all come up and they'll all be right there for you and you can just lay in front of your parents and say look this is marijuana this is what this is your brain on marijuana right this is hemp and this is what hemp looks like right you can start educating your parents the information's out there yeah that word marijuana to like it's not even that's just made up to make people afraid of it dude it's like 3C or a type 1C it's all cannabis like it's called marijuana to scare people yeah it just it's just it helps more people than it hurts because like I said I was one of those I didn't want to have anything legalized

41:33 you know like you know again that's all we need is more stupid people but the people that are going to be recreational and only do it because they want to get stoned they're going to continue to get stoned whether it's legal or not but the amount of people that you can make a difference for and help is by far exceeds the people who are going to be stoned yeah what about the addictive part is there any addictiveness to it on him no now I've had people I've read some articles that said marijuana was not but then I just recently read an article that said the marijuana is yeah so I think the jury's still out on that I have had personal experience with a stoner and I'm not interested in participating with a stoner for many reasons but on the medical side of things for medical reasons I believe in it and 100% what do you think marijuana is addictive I don't think so I think like we've been talking about I think it's a solution to the problem and for someone like me who is in a depressed horrible low state the lowest state of my life I wanted to solution to every problem and I saw look I just smoked weed for the first time and I'm no longer freaking out over whatever it is

43:10 I'm no longer freaking out well what if I did it for this too then what would happen so I think it might be an addictive thing because it's fixing a problem not immediately but you get the immediate ramifications like right away you'll feel that oh wow what what the like oh wow yeah you know and then from there you go on to trying to get more to fix this problem this problem this problem this problem yeah like it might be more habitually addictive like cigarettes what do you do when you're doing a smoke it's like okay now you want one but I will say yeah but nicotine nicotine has been proven to be addictive yeah yeah yeah but like I think too there I think we would be kidding ourselves we didn't say there's some kind of physical dependence not like benzos where you're gonna die if you stop taking it but I know that when I don't smoke like my appetite it's hard for me to like want to eat or get to sleep let's say like it's not like I'm going through withdrawals like heroin I'm throwing up in the bathtub but there is there is still an aspect that I think oh it's not addictive you know we can just stop using it completely and be fun that's kind of disingenuous to say for sure yeah I would agree hey I just believe if you're living your best life right and and and people around you live their best life and if you're family kids wife and and and life is good and you are a participant in the world and making a difference in the world because that's why we're all here

44:41 right if you if all of that's going on then then what are we worried about you know if you're sitting around watching TV all day munching on nachos right and that's all you do then that's a different conversation yeah like that's not the way doing it that's just you being yeah I was gonna say and is that person gonna do that anyways yeah yeah that's what I was saying too I had nothing to do I had nothing to do so it was either this or sit there playing video games anyways well then it goes well I may as well do it hi and then I end up yeah but it's like I'm not gonna line up in the morning like I got fucking work to do all day yeah and I've had some people like I have full spectrum gummies that have THC in them CBT and THC and I had a brownie experience at a trade show that was not good for me number one you never give a woman a brownie and don't tell her not to eat the whole thing like you know it should come with instructions you just hand me a brownie and then what the hell right so my girlfriend ate her brownie and she called me and said did you eat your brownie and I'm like well I took a bite out of it she was so white mine like 45 minutes ago and I'm like okay well I took a bite like 45 minutes ago I guess I'm okay yeah I ate the whole brownie I woke up in the middle of the night trying to go to the bathroom I hit every wall in the hotel room

46:24 I couldn't sit up straight to go to the bathroom it was ugly it was so ugly thank god I have Siri on my phone so I could talk to my phone and have Siri call change my flight to extend my time in the hotel I was f'd up I was going nowhere and let me tell you something my brain cells did not connect for a week wow it was ugly ugly now it was delta 8 there's the culprit delta 8 so when I got these right people were like well you know you want to always make sure you you know you try and I go like my mouth got watery just thinking about it oh no no no no so I did I took a corner of one because I had a guy say look this is what it is I don't take them during the day but when I come home instead of popping and taking three beers I pop a gummy right right exactly and when I'm done with work yeah and especially especially for us like that's what it was in the military we don't have that extra outlet so that is the normal go home and drink beer and if it's not go home it's drink beer at like once we're done with work right here together which is addictive yeah which is addictive right and you can overdose I mean you can die right do it alcohol yeah like we it's one of those things I think it'll be a problem if you make it a problem yeah same thing with alcohol we weren't sure

48:02 we're just using it afterwards yeah yeah yeah so that's what had that's what convinced me to go ahead and try again I only did it quarter and until I had COVID when I had COVID I had such body aches like I took a whole gummy at that point I didn't care I was in so much pain yeah yeah I'm already in a bad way I took a whole dummy and it took that body pain away how incredible how how did it feel when it just was you know well because this is this is I have derived delta nine right with CBD so that's what this is so it's got THC and CBD so it has some psychoactive in it okay THC enhances the pain relief like CBD was only going to do so much then then people go into THC right or they do a mixture right that's what most strains are yeah yeah so that the epilepsy medication they can't forget the name of it right now that is approved by the federal government is a mixture of CBD and THC it has it's a certain percentage and it is it is federally approved and it makes a difference for on I'm just gonna say children but I mean for people have epilepsy and they have this major grandma seizures I can't believe the government I can't believe the government is drug dealing to our kids then what the hell is their problem right drug dealers yeah yeah so that's why I so I took the whole one and that it made a difference in my body but now that I'm not COVID like I made by the corner because it

49:50 does help me sleep so I made for I made quarter out the gummy because it's a five milligram because I'm aware I'm aware I could take five you know I could feel like a five milligram well you know let me tell you something I was at an elderly there's a health care health and wellness and it was an elderly part like they were like I'm gonna say elderly like 8080 there's some price and you're yeah you're in Florida too so that's got an animal right and so so I have my CBD out there and we have our straws and stuff and then I kind of have this I have in the background I had two or three of them and so I had several people come up and grab it and go oh yeah this isn't strong enough that these are 80 year olds right they're all smoking pot doing that if you think about it most of these people now 80 year olds grew up smoking pot stopped it and now they've all gone back to it but you know I was pretty happy to hear that because that lets me know that they're not taking opioids yeah they pump old people for all kinds of medication yeah my wife's a nurse and she tells me most of these people are on like when she's passing meds they gotta get 15 different pills yeah yeah yeah absolutely go to go to Walgreens or QVC is that QVC? QVC no CVS CVS yeah I have to stop and think about it right and go to the the pharmacy and look at how many bags of medication are sitting there waiting for people to come and take a look at the

51:37 pharmacy and look at how many bags of medication are sitting there waiting for people to come and pick them up yeah unbelievable which is weird because this is also something you can get delivered straight to your doorstep so you can get cancelled that out too so it's a win-win really yeah yeah it is sent to your doorstep avoid the doctor's appointment maybe not maybe yeah maybe we need this yeah yeah yeah that's how you notice some bullshit going around how many people how many problems can be solved by walking a few miles a day yes getting some sunlight getting 28,000 steps in absolutely be religious in any aspect eat whole foods instead of processed food at the grocery store they got like a whole aisle full of soda like this is an aisle full of fucking processed corn yes yes people are like just getting it like okay yeah I would love I think about it often and then I feel bad I'm like Rondi you're being judgmental right but then I'm like they don't know any better but look at the carts the carts that people are pushing out and they have all processed food they got five five to ten cartons of soda on the bottom of the cart right they got frozen food all over all over the place waffles and I mean just just just just shit just shit that they're spending a lot of money on yeah right and and you know and they're huge and their kids are huge and I'm like

53:20 man we are just not educating the world properly some there's a disconnect somewhere there's a disconnect it's education because I'm not blaming them because they don't know yeah yeah that's how I feel to yeah it's like yeah you don't know any better when you spend that money on that bullshit and that car you don't know any better or it's yeah or it's just what they're comfortable with because that's the society they grow up well that's what they were talking about that's what their parents did that's all that yeah that's all they know probably all they can afford now if you want to get into like the whole foods once you realize if you start eating better foods you don't have to eat as much right so there is a you know I did it with my dogs I used to feed them cheap ass food and they go through like a bag of food a week I was like oh my god and then somebody said no no no no no if you spend a little bit more money you get a better food right it sticks to them like as you say sticks to your ribs right this point yeah I grew up my grandparents used to say sticks to your ribs right and they don't go through as much food man my my dog food bill went to half spending more money on the type of dog food I was getting now I didn't go to the blue mountains and all that other right I did in mid the mid made a huge difference it's the same with our food

54:54 even saying like it's too it's expensive to go to whole foods two things one it's expensive either way and two it's I personally believe after coming going to Target and then eating whole foods it is cheaper almost and where they get you is the time you take to prepare the meal that's where you're losing your money you're losing your time preparing the meal and cooking it and it's you know no one wants to get up and go cook dinner and all that get an air fryer yeah I use it for everything I use it for everything I use it for my vegetables my meats like all myself all of it I was feeding him like two Cornish game heads pretty much every day when he's growing up it was weird thing because he did not shit for like a year straight right and apparently when you feed a dog raw food like that that's right that's right horses are the same way I have horses horses are the same way with a cheap dog food they're probably getting 30% of those nutrients absorbed yes and shitting all over the place yeah yeah and it's bad for your mom

56:26 I want to ask though like what I see people like videos of people in the 90s in the 80s so thin like what were y'all eating in the 90s that's so much different than today we were doing speed oh yeah okay problems solved yeah yeah that's exactly what we were doing actually you know back in the 80s back in the 80s we had dinner at the table like that's in the 80s there was a parent and I hate to say mom right there was a parent that was cooking dinner right that's what that was my next point we had dinner at the table right no we had dinner at the table right there was no microwave there was no no there was like cooked meals like whole food meals and we set at the table like dinner was cooked and I grew up and I've been cooking since I was six I hate it but but you know I was taught that's what we were doing in the 80s yeah my dad was telling me like we weren't eating all this shit the food didn't taste good back then like like it wasn't engineered to be addictive like it is now right ah yeah I could see what you're saying yeah you know what I'm saying like a Frito let's say that's designed to give you that quick hit of salt and fat

57:56 yes so you want that more yes but food wasn't like that back in the day so right sugar is like cocaine yeah no it's bad they've measured the brain activity when you do sugar or you do cocaine it looks the same that's so bad yeah so everything that we eat unless you did like a whole food so you real you know people in Costco's getting better like there's some stores but I mean think about it think about the dollar stores the circle pays the 7-elevens like think of their food it is all sugar based yeah no I try to go in there trying to find some except for maybe the water yeah the only thing I could get out of that place that will that I feel that is good for me is like the protein bars that are triple the price or yeah like a maybe their light energy drink that are zero calorie energy drink or not energy drink sports drink but even the protein bars you're gonna watch them for sugar right right exactly so you can barely even go in stop by a gas station and pick up a snack without getting absolutely we didn't have gas stations back then had all the junk in them we didn't have that we didn't have as much of that McDonald's you know I mean I don't think there was as many McDonald's definitely were not as many fast food places in the ages as there is now portions were smaller too right

59:27 much smaller much smaller no like on the gas station thing real quick shut up fair life milk they got a really good protein shake 40 grams or something like that but there's a there's a gas station like down the block from my house right and they uh they sell like food there too and they you know it's not much of a dodges best in the front they got all their food there and it's all this golden brown like it's all one color because it's all fried it's like so modern day americano yep I never realized some of the my husband has taken me to some gas stations where you go in the back and they got some of the best food that you know if you eat it more than two times a week you probably die in five years but it is good food right those places in the back of the gas stations I never even knew they were there um yeah the food was not the same it's the food I'm only not sure it's the food and the amount of activity right they say now that in the next five years 50% of our population will be in the metaverse oh yeah yeah that's our part 50% I mean yeah right we didn't have all that shit I mean we had Pac-Man and you know blah blah blah we didn't have the level of video game we didn't have all the reasons to stay in the house the kids have today

1:01:03 we couldn't wait to get out of house if we stay in the house mom will put our asses to work right so we were looking to get out of the house that's why kids nowadays they don't even they don't look forward to the 16th birthday anymore no you have no clue that the neighborhood has kids because you don't see no kids yeah yeah and I don't know I mean Kevin I could think of a couple people off the top of my head that didn't care to get their license at 16 because they didn't care why? I was itching to get my license I got my license and my first job the same day that's right my test drove right over there with my dad got my job we were like the last generation to have like a still kind of primitive technology yeah like we had cell phones but they're like flip phones yeah the touch screens back then were so bad yeah like now you see like fucking three year olds and four year olds on ipad right ipads all day watch this youtube video different worlds today yeah well we're at around an hour I think that's pretty good I think that's awesome man we could probably talk for I mean we talked for half hour before we started yeah I got time I could stay here over and over and over I love this I know I know I just I have an alarm going off the other side of my house I can hear it going up I'm like okay I'll be there in a minute to shut you up

1:02:34 yeah I've had a great time having this discussion and chit chatting about the world the future of this the hand industry yeah yeah no I really hope this helps and this will definitely be one of the episodes I show my mom and show my dad yeah because that's a big disconnect in today's society it's a huge disconnect kids want to do something like that and even if it is you know it might be bad and if it is bad the parents need to understand and need to educate themselves instead of just saying look in the 80s we did this it was not what you're supposed to do don't do it instead of saying that it needs to be look wait till you're 25 here's a remedy until you're 25 or something like that that's right we need to be educated and we need to be able to talk to the kids and we need to the kids need to be able to talk to the parents yeah it goes through use some CBD up until 25 and at 25 do whatever you want to do right for sure alright well with that I had a great time yeah thank you so much thank you so much we'll let you know when this is up and running but I couldn't thank you enough thank you for sticking through the whole figuring out how this court works too ah my pleasure my pleasure I like to be open to new things so you know this is another one I can talk about you know when press people that I even know about it yeah yeah it would be impressive for sure
