Landrace: Cannabis's Pure Roots

Colt Draine and Owen "The Mic" McMichael Episode 89

Send us a text

Ever wondered how cannabis strains like Brazilian and Chocolate Thai maintain their genetic purity despite the modern surge of hybrids? Join us as we embark on a captivating exploration of landrace strains, tracing their roots from the rugged mountains of the Hindu Kush to the sun-drenched shores of Acapulco Gold. Through personal stories of unforgettable adventures inspired by these rare strains, we illuminate the historical significance and allure of cannabis that has stood the test of time.

Picture pirates navigating treacherous seas—many of whom couldn't swim—and discover intriguing parallels between their storied lives and the world of cannabis strains like Durban Poison and Colombian Gold. Our conversation takes a turn towards the cultural evolution and historical baggage of terms like "marijuana," with a candid reflection on how societal views on cannabis and its comparison with alcohol have transformed. Personal anecdotes about past drug use serve as a backdrop for the importance of honest dialogue, especially when addressing misconceptions surrounding cannabis.

As the episode unfolds, we spotlight the therapeutic potential of cannabis, particularly for those grappling with PTSD, and the rise of CBD as a non-psychoactive option. We also don't shy away from addressing the challenges in the cannabis industry, including high taxation and outdated laws, particularly those in Idaho. Through humor and sincerity, we confront racial biases while keeping the conversation light-hearted, speculating on whether our podcast is more popular in Serbia than in Idaho. Join our journey and share your thoughts on this evolving landscape as we weave positive vibes into our narrative.

Speaker 1:

uh, hey, what's up? My friend, I hope this is finding you in in a good mode, as we were going to be speaking about something we we know very well. You know just some of this marijuana shop talk, but in a real form episode, my friend, right, well, cannabis.

Speaker 2:

Okay, thank you, as marijuana was a term. Yeah, yeah, yeah, indeed, and yeah, talking about land races, which, for as long as between the two of us, we have consumed cannabis and we were having a discussion about how we heard the term but didn't really know much about it, no, couldn't, at least I couldn't. If you asked me to define, I would say I don't know because I don't. Yeah, yeah, I don't know enough to even kind of, uh, right, yeah, get started.

Speaker 1:

So it's interesting to uh find out exactly what that means right and I feel like we're not alone in this, as we know some other people that you would you had brought up front of the show spooner. He had no clue and he, he does grow and, uh, me and you both I'm not saying we're unique to the situation in America, but we both know people who operate large-scale grows and have since the beginning of like the legalization you know in a lot of these states and as much as the dirt.

Speaker 2:

I'm just, let me just say, to spoon it. I think he may know more than I do. I just mentioned to him that we were gonna do this, is all. Yeah, he probably knows a lot more than I do. So not not mentioned to him that we were going to do this, is all.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he probably knows a lot more than I do. So not not trying to discredit Spooner that's a hell of a name, by the way.

Speaker 2:

No, I know, I was just saying that. Yeah, he didn't. He just said he's excited that we were going to do the topic.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure, man, and it's just one of those things where you hear the term a lot. I've been in shops where they'll toss it around and stuff and everybody has a blank fucking look on their face. For the most part, you know, and I've been consuming cannabis since I was around 11 or 12 and I'm 42 now I'm old and I had no clue until we talked about this and looked it up on Google. Guys, just saying so. Nonetheless, my friend, on this fantastic, uh, this feels like kind of a racy episode. I don't know who knows, but, uh, I'm gonna go ahead and give you a definition that I kind of found real fast here.

Speaker 1:

Uh, a land race is a domesticated, locally adapted, often traditional, variety of a species of animal or plant that is developed over time so it can be whatever it's, a it's like a blanket term, which I didn't know that either, by the way Through adaptation to its natural and cultural environment of agriculture and pastoralism. Ah, all right. So here's some things. A lot of this has to do with isolated location like islands, mountains, etc. Right? Or maybe a place where it's hard for us dumb humans to get to and change everything, right?

Speaker 2:

It's hard for us dumb humans to get to and change everything, right? Yeah, because essentially, just if I had to give a broad overview of what a landrace is, it's genetically unaltered, as most everything we smoke nowadays is like a hybrid. These were all just as Mother Nature created them. I tried some of the examples hindu kush remember that was one of the first strange names yeah, that's the tie.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, hindu kush was said to be the first one that was defined as a land race and actually where a lot of this comes from. Most of my information, uh, came from leafwellcom. It was one of the best sources I had found on it and just wanted to drop that for everybody. So, if you want to look it up yourselves, uh, there are reportedly more than 30 land-raised strains, which I feel like there's probably more than that. Uh, that's across the globe central asia, central south asia, the middle east, central, central South Asia, the Middle East, central and South America, and Africa are the places where the cannabis land-raised strains come from, right. So these are things we found out, owen, and, as you mentioned, the Hindu Kush, I want to just start off like let's fucking start this off strong. Which of the land-raised strains that you had researched or seen in this process are your favorite? Let's go with number one and two, if possible.

Speaker 2:

Well, also they were found in the Americas, because there's Acapulco Gold and Panama. Brazilian I'd say Brazilian might be my favorite. I was a kid, I was probably 16, and I'm 45 now, so I'm even older. I was a kid, you know, I was probably 16 and I'm 45 now, so I'm even older.

Speaker 2:

But yeah, brazilian I remember being. The Hindu Kush was also. I haven't disliked any of them, but no, okay, I'm sorry, the Thai chocolate Thai. If that's actually the original Landre's, that would be my favorite, which also anybody that has the stereotype of lazy stoners. Observe someone that smokes chocolate Thai. I once went for a walk after smoking some and realized I was an hour and a half away from the house and had to get home. Oh my God, which is fine. The dog and I are much younger.

Speaker 2:

Correct, he at least could drink out of the river. I opted to just have cotton mouth all the way home, right, anyway, yeah, so sorry that was a long-winded, stumbling answer, but chocolate tie is my favorite.

Speaker 1:

Well, considering we're, you know, trying to talk on a podcast about cannabis, I think any long-winded answer may be okay.

Speaker 2:

Owen, my uh A podcast Ho ho, ho, ho ho.

Speaker 1:

Hey, hi, dad joke. Yeah, for sure that sounds great to me, my friend. Hey, you know, my favorite land-raised strain is the sativa because, as you know, I'm a big sativa fan. Okay, and that would be the Malawi gold, which is actually from the country Malawi. The more you know, owen, that's a great one. Also big fan of Durban poison.

Speaker 1:

I know it's a hit or miss man, because I don't feel that with some of these people, you know, sometimes they don't come out quite right or maybe they rushed it or something. But when you get some of these land land ray strains like this that are the ogs of sorts, right man, when they do them right, it is amazing. That's how I feel about it. The uh. The other thing I was point I was uh pretty interested in here is the differences in some of like this. You, we know how sativas are far different. So land-raised sativa strains are usually taller and they're a bit harder to grow, so they're also more rare in that case, as they cost so much to get done. You know, most of these guys who have developed a lot of these hybrids mix them in these indicas and such with these sativa strains in order to have a bigger yield and that's what's kind of diluted it I think right, I mean I wouldn't say diluted it, it's, it's definitely made it a bigger yield, but uh, yeah, diluted the pure sativa.

Speaker 2:

But um yeah, I have nothing against hybrids, it's just it's cool that there's still the land race strains to be found Stuff that wasn't altered. You know there's still gray wolves, like look at all the genetic stuff humans have done to dogs.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And yeah.

Speaker 1:

No, that's fucking. I think there's still there, is there's no longer dire wolves. Of course, those are massive wolves that used to run around Europe and probably were pretty freaking scary. They're about as big as a horse, I think. I don't know when they died out, but I think they're the size of timber wolves, which is huge. But Well, when we're talking old school horses like the ones that the knights used to ride on, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, yeah old school People don't know that either. Hey, knights used to ride ponies, guys. So whenever you see a Disney cartoon and they're on this big steed, not the case, guys. They were dragging their feet For real. That's a thing.

Speaker 2:

More like something that should be at a petting zoo than on a battlefield.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, as the BHP, the British History Podcast, which I often plug no affiliation, by the way, just a great show. He often Street Podcast, which I often plug no affiliation, by the way, just a great show. He often calls whatever they wrote Glitter Hoof. As he was writing Glitter Hoof into battle, I'm like, oh my god, thank you. Thank you, jamie Jeffers. Yeah, I wonder if he enjoys cannabis, I imagine. So I don't know, he seems like he may, I don't know. Durban Poison, which I brought up earlier, is one of the marijuana markets most well-known. It does hail from South African port city of Durban, which is kind of cool and is dated back to the 14th century. A lot of these strains as well my friends spread due to the aid to sale and piracy, because pirates were well-known to use drugs of all kinds. Right, I mean, that's kind of a common knowledge thing, I would think. Do you think it is?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, pretty much. Okay, I wouldn't be shocking, I wouldn't think someone would be like oh my God, you know. Yeah, I thought they were a choir boy Right.

Speaker 1:

So in a lot of them, you know, when they did this stuff they acquired it from the Muslim world and then they headed on over to, you know, south America and spread the love. I suppose I imagine they had quite a bit of cannabis on their voyages. That's a pretty cool thought to think of. You know, pirates cruising open seas, you know, looking for some prizes, smoking some Durban poison. That's badass, my friend.

Speaker 2:

So some of the. Would you get all antsy on the boat though smoking a beer? I went for a swim.

Speaker 1:

Oh no, fun fact a lot of times when I read about pirate stories most, oh no, Fun fact a lot of times when I read about pirate stories most of these guys couldn't even really swim. Isn't that kind of scary? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

It's a weird thing, I thought. I mean, I guess if you fall off in the middle of the ocean, you're done. Don't care how well you swim, doesn't matter. There's a lot looking at us. No, a lot of sharks Sometimes.

Speaker 1:

No, a lot of sharks.

Speaker 1:

No, no, that doesn't seem fun at all, so I don't know. I do enjoy that Columbian gold you said was another one, I believe. I wonder if that's a combination there, Because you see the Acapulco gold, Columbian gold. There must be something there. They're both from South America-ish because Acapulco actually is native to Mexico. I'm so interested in these South American strains and how this all worked out. That is fantastic. The Thai landrace strain is a pure sativa and is known to be very tall, with many branches and long serrated fan leaves. So I can just imagine back in the day I'm going to lean back on pirates, guys Like they're going to go into this Mughal Empire Emperor's palace and I could just see him being fanned with the mighty leaf of a Thai plant. That'd be a thing. I don't know. How much knowledge are we going to kick on this, besides the fact that we actually just said what land race really means and then we can just talk about all our favorite kinds of marijuana that apply, I feel.

Speaker 1:

Once again cannabis, but yeah, not marijuana. That's a racist term, guys. We just never realized it. Yeah absolutely.

Speaker 2:

It was attached to blame it on Mexicans, and black jazz musicians were also included in the like it's their fault. That's why this is bad Like yeah, they're trying to keep everybody.

Speaker 1:

Well, it really the term, the term comes from when Mexico first became a country, ok, and it was kind of on their own to an extent, I suppose, and they really still hated the indigenous people, even though most of them were mixed Right. So it was a very classic system of the more Spanish, or the whiter your skin, the better off you were in this culture. So, as with our culture, typically the soldiers in the wars that they were fighting were indigenous, very common to a lot of us Like. So here in America, a lot of the people we send to the front lines are, are, are of, are of, you know, mexican or something like that, or black. They're those things. They're usually typically poor people, anyway, nonetheless.

Speaker 1:

So they would make jokes about how lazy Juan was, and Juan was known as your common soldier in Mexico. His wife, who was typically stationed with them in these times in the barracks, was known as Maria right, so that's a very common name for them at that time as well. Thus marijuana, because the soldiers, it was a cheap drug that a lot of like indigenous folks used for an herbal remedy. Big surprise, but they also liked to get high. So, and that's also where the lazy shit starts, by the way, is another way to undercut them. So we you know as much as marijuana is a part of like how we say, it's what we call it, and it is something that I'll probably say I have it for years.

Speaker 2:

Good for you, dude, since I read that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, no, I mean, really that was yeah, but it's hammered into our culture that that's what it was and how bad it was as kids.

Speaker 2:

It was a gateway drug and it's like I've never done a more severe drug because I smoked weed. Like I've been drunk and it's been years, people, but I've done cocaine Shocker here. So when I'm running for Senate, you can bring this back on me, but I would never do that after. We'd be like hell. No, I want some pizza, like I don't want any coke, but you know, get some stuff that's sold on. Well, I guess weed sold on the shelves now too. But you know, this poison that for years has been Right, it makes you know there's a gateway. Trump.

Speaker 1:

Alcohol years has been right. It makes you know there's a gateway job alcohol, yes, yeah, yeah, I'll tell you this much. It's no surprise. I have open conversations with my kids. Okay, this is not like uh and I do believe in that parents to.

Speaker 1:

If you've made mistakes, it's okay to tell your kids about them. You don't need to sugarcoat them. Maybe just don't make it as crazy or uh disturbing sounding as some of your stories may really be. But they all know I've partook in about everything because of how I grew. Sugarcoat them. Maybe just don't make it as crazy or uh disturbing sounding as some of your stories may really be. But they all know I've partook in about everything because of how I grew up and, um, most when I first tried I meth, for example, because I'm from billings bro, like you know I. You see, you see locars everywhere.

Speaker 1:

I remember I was in. I was in like seventh grade ish and I was just walking around my neighborhood and shit and just ended up seeing some house party. There was like some high school folks and shit in this apartment and I walked back in because I knew a couple of them and went into this back room and they were. I didn't even fucking know what a loker was, bro, really. I mean, I'd seen them but I didn't know the whole. I knew what it was but I didn't, and that's how I tried it. It's just so common. But I was drinking. Okay, every time I've ever done anything like that, that was stupid. It was because I was drinking Serious, so that was a valid point. My friend Marijuana, my kids don't drink by the way Once again.

Speaker 1:

No, I know, because they smoke. Yes, I know, and they're all of age guys. Yeah, so well, almost all of them are of age, but, like the ones who smoke, definitely are of age right. So it's just a thing, man, very valid point. Thank you. I feel like this is turning into an education on just like smoke weed guys. If you're feeling all stressed out, just smoke an indica or a hybrid indica. If you want to get some energy, maybe vacuum the top of your house. Smoke a sativa.

Speaker 2:

And I will say it is a gateway drug to cinnamon coffee cake, but that's basically about it. Yeah, bro, or Reese's peanut butter ice cream cups? Yes, cannabis can definitely lead to that. What are?

Speaker 1:

you smoking on right now that you're speaking like this, I want to know. What strain do?

Speaker 2:

you. Public service announcement. I actually don't know. I know the initials are YP, but I put it in a jar and I don't recall. It's a winner, that's for sure.

Speaker 1:

Winner YP winner, that's for sure. Yeah, winner, winner, yp. Well, that's why. So your prize, we'll call it that good job man, you win, so good pants. There you go, if you like that. There you are my friend, but you're leading the chart.

Speaker 2:

It's actually a strain, because I was trying to think of it. I was like, well, I don't know, maybe yucatan, I guess that's not one, but it's not a strain apparently that I could find. But anyway, yeah, it's definitely a, it's a thing.

Speaker 1:

Definitely solid. Hey, do you remember when we couldn't remember what that one kind of weed we had was and we were trying to tell somebody, and I think you called it Louisiana Swamp Donkey? No, that was not me, oh, it wasn't.

Speaker 2:

Who did that, it was just funny, man, it came up. Nope, I remember you telling me about that. But yeah, I can't take credit for that. And I must give credit to our dearly departed MC Straight Budge. Oh, gave, or gave One of the more discerning, even back when it was really hard to find good cannabis and we're talking almost 20 years ago, bozeman, montana, here lots of Beester, it's this Canadian stuff that wanted to be good but just got packed before it was cured and didn't get you very high. It tasted like hay, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Anyway.

Speaker 2:

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, he would refer to anything that was not up to his standards as Bangladeshi, and swamp cabbage.

Speaker 1:

Oh, where did we get the Louisiana swamp donkey from? It must have just been a hybrid of that. God rest MC Straight Budge. By the way, we're losing too many of them, my friend.

Speaker 2:

Indeed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2:

And, yeah, budge, by the way, we're losing too many of them. My friend indeed, yeah, for sure. And uh, yeah, definitely need to mention our dearly departed luke rogers, who was fixture in the cannabis industry and yeah, somewhere portland oregon and just an awesome human being, yeah, so yeah, he's well, our friends indeed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, luke, uh, luke ro, that is a pirate name. I always told him that, man, I still intend on making him a pirate flag and uh, kind of a rest in peace, uh, you know sort of deal. Uh, cause I had talked to the boys somewhere and we decided that if we're going to memorialize him, it would. It would be kind of sad to put rest in peace on there, and that's not what he represented. Luke was the type of guy he was six, six people, right, but he was the type of guy that would walk up and give you a hug and he'd be like damn, this is fucking good, like cool. Thanks, man, I really needed that and that sounds weird, but it's not people just saying no, just an awesome, awesome dude.

Speaker 2:

I knew him for an afternoon but we went to his mom's house and she fed us freshly made gingerbread and showed us the uke, the uke, the botanist. So yeah, yeah, anyway, sorry. Yeah, sorry about that, guys, and also, before I forget, salute to all the veterans. Tomorrow we're recording this on November 10th, nice, halo, yeah, much love and respect. Halo, eddie Oscar there's. I don't want to forget anybody, some of my relatives in the past, anybody that ever has or is currently or ever will. Much respect.

Speaker 1:

Right, I don't believe you guys are idiots either. Okay, I'm not on that bandwagon of the guy who said that. So that's being hell. No, no, my, you know like, and also these people. Cannabis brings them more joy and alleviates their, their anxieties, more than most the medication they receive. I've noticed a lot of these ptsd people, you know. So, I don't know man, there's some pretty cool. This thing was on LeafWell as well. I want to kick down to the bottom just to kind of give a little thing. And it says this Remember that the land-raised strains today may be slightly different from what they once were, as their unique environments may have contributed to new characteristics, including terpenes and cannabinoid profiles.

Speaker 1:

The most authentic land-raised strains will be found at the source of where they originated. You know so, like, all they're trying to say is, even if it does say it's terp and poison, you know it's been affected a little bit, but we're just going to go ahead and call them land-raised anyway. So that may be another reason why, like, when you get some of these, like I was kind of complaining about earlier, because I complain a lot sometimes because I'm American and I'm a human, okay, guys, but that might have something to do with that. There's a few of these that were very interesting that I had. I have not tried, by the way, that I do want to and I want to.

Speaker 1:

Mazar Ashraf, have you ever tried that? No, yeah, apparently it's a pretty good indica strain, but it's a derivative of Hindu Kush, native to Afghanistan, so that's kind of cool and it's one of the strains where you know you get that red coloring, the red hairs. I guess that's where a lot of that comes from. So that was kind of an interesting fact. I found Just saying, huh, yes, indeed, and I don't know, man, like I really love this. I think that the main message of this was just hey, guys, this is what Land Race means, and we made a show out of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because again it's like I know a little bit, having been around grows and obviously there's a lot more information available.

Speaker 1:

Correct.

Speaker 2:

At the click of a button.

Speaker 1:

Now to mother google, right, but uh well, I definitely encourage people to look into this. I mean, it is kind of you know, we do have options. People in the in this cannabis industry these days and I I'm sorry if you live in an area where you're taxed pretty heavily and an ace still costs like 50 bucks, you know of good weed. That's fucking crazy, by the way, uh, but nonetheless you have options and if you research some of this, there are legitimate ways to make cannabis work for you positively. One thing as well, where I'm gonna get off on a little thing owen uh introduced me to cbd, and that is a real thing. Guys, like it just depends, but it is good for so much anxiety, blood pressure, um, just everything. So I encourage people to actually check into using like cbd as a form of, you know, maybe an alternative before you shove a bunch of fucking pills down your throat right yeah, that's basically a cannabis is non psychoactive cousin and so you don't get high.

Speaker 2:

There's a big misconception and even I've seen some people that were there still anti cannabis. It can be even like religious right people are like okay with cbd, because they finally listen and it's like no, this is not going, it's not psychoactive. Like no matter how much you take, you're not going to get high, you might take a nap right, but yeah yeah yeah, thank, thank the earth for all the cannabinoids.

Speaker 2:

Apparently there's around 200. Now I haven't used cbg and cbn a little bit, but um, yeah, definitely look into it, especially if you're a cannabis enthusiast so you have very loose knowledge of that.

Speaker 1:

You actually do know quite a bit more about that. Um, one of these days we should bring on some of these folks that we know we could do an? Uh interesting things. I think people might enjoy that.

Speaker 1:

If you guys have any questions or if you want to suggest something, we do have a text option on every episode. It should be at the top of the show description link. We can't really answer you back, that's not the point of it. It's just for you to text us and maybe suggest an idea. Or tell us we suck, I don't give a fuck man as long as you're interacting. Idea. Or tell us we suck, I don't give a fuck man, Like as long as you're interacting. Like, hey, Colt, that was really stupid what you said about this. I want to hear about it. Guys, Feel free, that's okay. The yeah man, I don't know. This is great. Thank you for doing this episode, Owen. This was fantastic. It was from a total random conversation and I really appreciate it because I really appreciate you. Hey, everybody, I just snapped my fingers. I appreciate it, Owen, and you guys too, out there in Podcastlandia.

Speaker 2:

Back at you, brother and hell, you're all out in Podcastlandia. Hope you're having a lovely elevated day, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Why don't you go to your favorite cannabis spot? I don't even know. Hey, do you know any states where weed isn't legal now?

Speaker 2:

Go to your favorite cannabis spot, unless, I don't even know.

Speaker 1:

Hey, do you know any states where weed isn't legal? Now, I don't. Uh, yeah, I would Bama, maybe. I guess it's getting Idaho for sure. Ugh, gross Idaho's a gross state.

Speaker 2:

Wyoming yeah, there's a few around here. Utah's medical now, but when I was out there at a concert people were telling me it's a non-combustible state, which I imagine means you can only get super weak edibles. That's weird. But yeah, being a West Coast kid, now that Montana's legalized, it's just bizarre to me that now even people relatives of mine who never partake are very much on the side of like why don't? If this helps people, why don't you just let them?

Speaker 1:

right, let them use it. Yeah, exactly, I'm interested in this new I'm gonna go ahead and date the episode just a little bit because we just, you know, election just happened and everything, and one of the talks of things is letting states decide and that was the big push in some ways. So I'm very interested also. And also the talk is messing with big pharma. Well, if that's the case, I hope to see cannabis legalized on a federal level.

Speaker 1:

Still, it would be like probably one of the biggest blows to pharma, I feel, because, as we accept stuff like this more and maybe mix some of, I want to say, eastern medicine but in all honesty, it's just indigenous medicine from around the world in with what we know these days, we're going to benefit and just like, say, sugars, sugars, for example, anything that's processed, it sucks, man for real right. So why would we want to take these processed, just shitty pills that are just destroying our body? So many of them have these weird side effects where you have to take more pills to counteract the side effects for the the first fucking pill you took, right? So that's, that's a real, yeah, I love.

Speaker 2:

It'll be like, you know, it'll rattle off the side effects before they even, seemingly before they tell you what it's gonna help, and it'll be like may cause dry mouth, like proud, you know. Partial paralysis, yes, but your rash on your pinky toe will go away. So it's like, okay, that was a bad, you know, but your rash on your pinky toe will go away. So it's like okay, that was bad, you know. But I mean, really, I've heard stuff where the side effect is death and it's like what Well?

Speaker 1:

that sucks, yeah, yet again people. I have never met anybody who has died from consuming cannabis products. Period Well it'd be hard to meet them if they'd already died. Well, you may have met them before they died. I'm just saying Good point, though Valid point on misspeaking there. Man, this is fantastic. We could probably make this like a two-hour episode, but I feel that we may have to revisit some.

Speaker 2:

If anyone wanted to go into a coma, they'd listen to it. Sorry, oh no, a coma, they'd listen to it, Sorry oh no I know, Damn man, Way to go on that one.

Speaker 1:

That was fantastic. Alright. People out there in Podcastlandia, no matter where you are, unless you're in Idaho, Wyoming or wherever the fuck Elso and just said maybe you guys should Probably Bama yeah, I was thinking Bama too. Arkansas, Mississippi, Gross All these places, even though there's like.

Speaker 2:

For years there's been the government testing cannabis in Mississippi, yet it's insanely illegal there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, we could go on and on, but we'll save the coma inducing to the professional Right, hey, another thing is, guys, if you live in these states that we say shit about, it's not about you, it's about your government, I guess, or whatever the fuck's like that. It's similar to like us Montana bashing because you know, I'm from there, owen lives there, you know, and it's just. It's simply just that we do love everybody for real and our episodes are geared towards hoping that you can have the best day possible and we just hope that we make you smile, and that's a real fucking thing, right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely. And just because we say something bad about a particular law in this state, I mean there's really good to be found everywhere. Idaho is phenomenally beautiful. Oh my God, it's just.
